so whosoever has no job shoukd resort to crime(kidnapping is a crime or isnt it?) i agree that there are a lot of jobless youths out there but if all the jobless take to crime then who will suffer it,the government or the populace? imagine someone that has come to help fix the roads up is kidnapped,does it sound as if the kidnappers are sane? are people not employed by the construction company or is it ghost that work there? its indeed so sad. we need a new out look towards life in general[quote author=Marine*etyon]75m nigerian youths are jobless, and some people are busy asking 'when'l kidnapping end in naija' the sooner the company pays the ransom the better for the dude. If Israel thinks that commando method works in nigeria they should ask their brothers (Germany and Italy) what happened the last time they tried. Good luck![/quote]

Recent deaths of Nigeria's ex-footballers has sent warning signals to those alive to act fast, reports 'TANA AIYEJINA

I want to serve my state and earn money to take care of my family before I fall down and die like the others. It's about time to do something. I am making a plea to my state governor. Look at Sam Okwaraji's statue in front of the National Stadium (Lagos). Anytime I come to the stadium, the statue reminds me of him. He died before my eyes on August 12, 1989. What happened after then?"

The above statement was made by former Super Eagles midfielder, Etim Esin, during a protest organised by former and serving footballers on the plight of the country's retired footballers.

The protest, which had Esin, Harrison Jalla, Monday Odiaka and several other retired footballers in attendance, was held inside the National Stadium, Lagos. It was triggered by the deaths of ex-players in the last one year, the most recent being that of 1994 Africa Cup of Nations winner, Thompson Oliha and Kenneth Olayombo.

Jalla, President of the National Association of Nigerian Footballers, said young footballers were involved in the protest because they needed to secure a future for them.

He also advocated for a 'comprehensive welfare programme' saying it would help curb life in penury for the retired players.

Jalla said, "In our football, we have people who have been reaping from where they never sowed. We have to protect the future of these young players; it's about them because they are the future of Nigeria. If our football is still in the hands of those who are running it now, then there is no future for these young ones.

"Our own story is a very sad one. As I speak to you, we have lost about six ex-internationals in the last six months because there is no inbuilt mechanism that will cushion the effect of the welfare of players.

"What we are asking for is that 10 per cent of every income and revenue accruing to football in this country should be set aside for a comprehensive welfare programme for Nigerian footballers. We lost Thompson Oliha on Sunday and on Wednesday, Kenneth Olayombo also died. We also lost Sunny Ozogula and Jossy Lad. You saw how we lost Rashidi Yekini."

Oliha died without getting the house promised members of the 1994 AFCON winning team while two other members of the squad, regarded as Nigeria's golden generation, Rashidi Yekini and Uche Okafor, died in pitiable circumstances.

Yekini, Nigeria's all-time highest goal scorer was reportedly ill for a long period of time before he died in 2012 while Okafor allegedly committed suicide in Dallas, USA. In Yekini's case, it is widely believed that he would have survived if he was given the desired attention.

Jalla adds, "It is unfortunate that the Federal Government has failed to fulfill a pledge it made since 1994. It's the usual promises government make and don't keep to them and this is because of the people running our football. They have made their money and they don't care what happens to the players.

"If you put professionals there, they will ensure the promises are fulfilled. Oliha complained to me about his house and I wrote a letter on this about two years ago. The likes of Shaibu Amodu and Christian Chukwu are still being owed by the Glass House."

In a country notorious for its gross neglect of former sporting heroes, the list of footballers left to rue their faith after retirement keeps progressing

From the likes of goalkeeper Inuwa Lawal Rigogo- once described by former Ghanaian President, Kwame Nkrumah, as the 'Flying Cat' to Haruna Ilerika, Sam Nwobum, Sam Ojebode, Oliha, Olayombo and so many others, the trend is disturbing.

Presently, Atlanta 1994 Olympics gold medal winning football coach Willy Bazuaye and ex-Eagles defender, Sunday Eboigbe are down with stroke in Benin City. The duo may probably have bid the world farewell but for the intervention of the Lagos State governor, Babatunde Fashola.

In fact, Bazuaye is reportedly bitter that "not even the Nigeria Football Association, which he served, nor his state government (Edo), looked his way."

Former Nigerian boxing champion, Jerry Okorodudu, says the problem does not affect football alone.

Okorodudu said, "I went to the Olympics, I did well in two Commonwealth Games. I won medals; in pre-Olympics, I won silver and was named African Best Boxer of The Year in 1985 but today, what do I have to show for it?

"Davidson Andeh was a world champion, who won a gold in world boxing championship for this country as an amateur. He trained me, Charles Nwokolo and a lot of other boxers, but today, he sleeps at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City.

"Also in Benin, Roland Omoruyi, my Olympic captain rides okada (motorbike). It was (Lucky) Igbinedion that once took him off the street but the man has left office and Omoruyi has returned to riding okada. There are a lot of us who have nothing to show for what we did for this country."

But the footballers have been blamed for their own problems. Some of them are seen as spendthrifts, who live luxurious lifestyles during their playing days without planning for the future.

Monday Odiaka, the Golden Boot winner at the Moscow '85 U-20 World Cup, said they got nothing playing for the country during their time.

"We only played for the interest we had for the game and for the country; we were not given anything. In Benin Republic, I agree I was the highest paid footballer there but that's a long time ago. I have three graduates and the fourth is in the university. I used part of that money to achieve that," the former ACB of Lagos striker said.

Esin adds, "I might not look hungry because I am a born survivor; from gunshot to rape case, I have always survived.  I made money no doubt. The military get pension on retirement but they look at us like bunch of illiterates who do not know their right from left. If you come out to tell them the truth, they will blackmail you and label you names.

"I thank God I am alive today. They should provide jobs. Everybody cannot be a coach or work in the Glass House. How many ex-internationals are in their states' FA? It's pathetic. It's difficult combining education and sports. You will have to choose one.

"The commissioner of sports in my state does not even know who is Etim Esin. It's very sad. I called the FA chairman, Effiong Johnson, when I heard of Oliha's death but he didn't even know Thompson Oliha.

"My regret is that my colleagues are dying in large numbers without any benefit after serving their country. If they can die with a house, they will be happy but how many footballers have houses?"

Nigeria Football Federation spokesman, Demola Olajire, however, dismissed the protest with a wave of the hand, saying the present NFF board had done its best to help footballers.

Olajire said, "The protest does not interest us. It's not of interest to us. We cannot be commenting on people who are wanted by the police. We have othing to say about people lacking credibility.

"Take a count; which other board has employed ex-internationals in various positions than the present board? Look at all the national teams, are they not the coaches? Look at the technical committee of the NFF, are they not there? Which board has done better?

"In the Eagles, you have Stephen Keshi, Dan Amokachi, Ike Shorunmu and Emmanuel Attah. The U-23 former crew was made up of Austin Eguavoen and Ben Iroha; the Flying Eagles have Aloy Agu while Eaglets have Manu Garba, Emmanuel Amuneke, Nduka Ugbade and Emeka Amadi.

"So, it is with the female national teams. In the Technical Committee, there is Christian Chukwu, Victor Ikpeba, Austin Okocha, Graba Lawal. They are just talking trash."

PoliticsRe: Electricity Situation In Your Area by dapachez: 7:50am On Jul 06, 2013
Where in ogbomoso do you get up to 20 hours of electricity in a day? Please go to apake all the way to Randa area through to Ora park and ask people that live there how the light situation is like or better still go to Bowen university teaching hospital there and ask the security at the gate the power situation and then give us here another feedback. I know the light situation in lautech area,under G and towards that illorin side is better but don't just come here and generalise. The voltage in all the previously mentioned area(apake,randa,ora,californa n around the local government secretariat) is always low and I keep wondering why cos there are no industries in ogbomoso so why the low voltage.
kaze4blues: With the various reforms that are been put in place by federal govt in the power sector and with the commissioning of several power projects and their addition into the national grid, I believe strongly that things have gotten much better in terms of electricity supply in the country.


Electricity supply in my area has improved greatly over the last one month.
It was initially @ 8 hours out of 24 hours but has now risen to average 20 hours out of 24 hours.

This is a significant improvement on the part of the FG.

Let's know the present electricity situation in your area.

TravelFlood At Ugbowo Lagos Road In Benin City Edo State by dapachez(op): 10:00am On Jul 03, 2013
It is quiet commendable the road construction been carried out in benin city and its environs but the big issue now is the drainage issue which could be a clog in the wheel of progress.

The drainage channels need to be worked on as once it rains for over an hour the flog that follows is overwhelming. It rained yesterday tuesday the 2nd of july and from uselu shell (uselu motor park area) to uwasota area was flooded up to saint patricks catholic church.

It was so bad that the flood spilled from the oshiomole part of the road tho the federal government part of the road. The drainage actually seperates both sides of the road.

Something needs to be done so that these roads won't get bad under a short period of time

So Mr crusader all lecturers are male? I beg to differ some male lecturers are randy as in on a hyper level but what has this your whole comment got to do with the issue of the strike? In all fairness to the students this is one strike too many and ASUU should try and be more accomodating and the government needs to honour any agreement if genuine
Acidosis: ...and after all these demands, they won't stop harrasing their female students... begging them for s£ x, frustrating their lives just because the dangling rod between their legs won't let them rest...

Lol, I heard they've upgraded. Our Nigerian lecturers do not beg ladies again o... They now enforce their intimate demands..
The girl get a lodge, she pays the cash for the hotel room and then call the Mr I-will-die-without-s£ .x-Nigerian ASUU lecturer to come over... cheesy

What a f00lish union of old shameless men..

Rather than cut off the stick between their legs so they can impact the knowledge our generation needs.. They go about pursuing girls around campus, slashing their scores so they can put their useless rod to use...

You guys should watch out for my up coming thread!
Its going to be raw! Bloody! I've declared war against these lecturers s£. xturers!

It will be an open platform for Nigerian students to publish the full names and details of Lecturers demanding s. ex from female students.

I was in one of these campuses few days ago.. and I heard about 3 different issues on the same subject matter.. Mind you, these are the same Men demanding endless demands from GEJ..

They want the money.. They want the s. £x.. But I'm going to show them Hell..

We are not all f00ls
PoliticsSHOCKING: Something Worse Than Boko Haram Is Coming- Prophet Olabayo by dapachez(op): 4:41pm On Jun 30, 2013
Primate Theophilus Olabayo, 67, founder of Evangelical Church of Yahweh with headquarters in Mende, Maryland, Lagos, had remained one of Nigeria’s respected prophets whose prophesies had shaken the high and mighty in the country.

In this interview, the cleric says there would be a spiritual revolution that will rock the nation to its foundation and at the end of it, a new nation will emerge.
Excerpts:
What really happened that you went off  the radar for several years?
I have been talking. A prophet doesn’t just say things. It’s when God asks me to speak that I speak. Many atimes, I warn our leaders but they don’t have listening ears. I was the only one who said President Umaru Yar’Adua had a terminal disease and when the condition got worse, the wife called some of us to Abuja to ask of the chances of her husband. I said the husband would die and Jonathan would become president.
I warned President Goodluck Jonathan that people would make the country ungovernable for him, but people said I was a prophet of doom. Is it not happening now? Let me quickly say this here that worse than Boko Haram is about to happen.
It’s no secret that you had some health challenges which may have been responsible for your absence for some time. What is the nature of your ailment?
I did not lay off. Elijah was sick and he was still doing God’s work. I had an attack. A spiritual attack but I am still hale and hearty. Spirit cannot die. The spirit of God cannot die in you. The body may be weak, it doesn’t matter. But the spirit cannot die. God will continue to speak through you.
Is it true that you had stroke, Sir?
It’s not a big deal that someone has stroke but I am okay. While on a trip to Kaduna, God had revealed to me that I would have stroke and would be away for some time. So I looked for someone who knew about stroke; one of my pastors.
How did it happen and what was your first reaction?
I was going for a revival in Kaduna and God told me to go with somebody who knows about stroke. The man had to follow me to Kaduna. When I got to Kaduna, they told me one of my townsmen was sick and when I got to his place, God said I should not do anything though he was suffering. I got a room for him, paid his bills and left after praying for him. As I was returning to the church in Kaduna, I had the attack.
And did you have any medical treatment?
Definitely!
Why do you think it’s a spiritual attack?
I know because God told me about it. I know it could be exhaustion because I pray and fast a lot.
There was this rumour among the people that one of the reasons your church went down was because you were caught in adultery with somebody else’s wife. Is it true sir?
God will forgive you. Where? That is why Nigeria cannot move forward. How do you expect me; I preach the Word of God, I preach against adultery, then I’ll be caught in such an act! Impossible! Anybody can lie against you.
At your age sir, are you thinking of passing over the baton to someone else soon?
I am a prophet and it is not hereditary. God can choose anybody. When it’s time for me, God will tell me to lay hands on the person. God has not told me yet, I’m still a young man. There are so many people that are coming up, not only one person. Among them, God will raise up leaders. We have young pastors coming up in the church who have the gift of the Word of God, the Bible. Not only vision, people believe that it’s when you just speak in tongues alone or see vision. No! There are different types of gifts.
There are churches as soon as the founders pass away you don’t hear much from those churches…
It can’t happen here because it’s God that called me. When it is time, God will raise up another leader among us.


What do you foresee for Nigeria?
We are sitting at the keg of gunpowder. We are looking at total darkness in the nation. We need to pray very well because these political people are not doing the right things. Nothing is working; the worst corruption is in Nigeria. There has never been corruption as worse as this.
The name of Nigeria is now corruption and some of the journalists are not helping matters. People are being bribed. But there’s going to be a revolution. The poor will overtake the rich. You’ve not seen anything. You’ve not seen Boko Haram. Worse Boko Haram is about to happen and we have to pray against religious war that may last seven years.
Let Jonathan drop his ambition for 2015. Let him work and allow his work speak for itself. Most of his political alleys especially from his Niger Delta are deceiving him and are talking carelessly. They will be consumed one after another. They are already beating war drums if he fails to return in 2015; let them keep quiet. They are not helping matters. Very soon they’ll start bombing.
The chairman of PDP is going to face another problem because there’s going to be crisis and if care is not taken, he is going to be removed. They are going to scatter them and cause confusion between him and the president. Most of these governors that are being sacked are going to join hands together to form another party. A new party will emerge which will be more powerful than PDP. Not APC! Gov. Rotimi Amaechi’s current challenges will create more problems in this country.
What’s the way out of all of these? How can we prevent this doom from coming to pass in Nigeria?
The problem with Nigeria is leadership. We are so corrupt and wicked. We manipulate things and we don’t allow God to work. They don’t believe in God. They go about looking for protection; some of them think they are untouchable. They don’t believe there’s God. One day they are going to give account. God is going to intervene in the affairs of Nigeria very soon and a brand new nation will emerge from the ashes of a revolution.
The president is being caged by some few people. When you are saying the truth, they arrest you. Some of his close people are enemies and he doesn’t know. If he’s not careful, they are going to run him down.
There are things to be done spiritually. I don’t need to discuss all these with the Press because our leaders don’t have listening ears. We need to come together and work for this nation because we have children. We don’t want our children to suffer. Because if there’s war in Nigeria today, Ghana cannot accommodate the number of refugees. They are holding notional meetings. If they want to do something, somebody will talk today; they will give him millions of naira to keep quiet.
They are not saying anything, they are only exchanging money and that is what is destroying this country. Our refineries are not working; the roads are bad, armed robbers have taken over; there’s no work, now they want to sack people. The man is making more mistakes everyday. Every step he takes, he’s making wrong decisions. Many of his advisers are selfish and wicked people. They are just accumulating wealth. And they are old. They don’t give up. They are acquiring properties.
Some say Nigeria might not survive beyond 2015. Do you agree?
I went to America of recent and I prophesied and it happened. Let me tell you, it’s not America that will dictate for us. God is saying that we should avoid war; religious war.
Sir, is there anything the Church or anybody can do to avert a violent revolution?
As I am prophesying now, some church leaders and prayer contractors will take it to them to get money, to get oil blocks and buy aeroplanes for themselves. That will not solve the problem.
Despite the health cha-llenges, you still talk like this. When are you ever going to get tired?
I can’t be tired. They have tried me. I was the only one condemning Sani Abacha. One day they sent one brig-adier to me, I was in my house. As he came, I said something is in your stomach, he said yes, Sir. They said you should come and arrest me, he said yes Sir. I said but you have a daughter, he said yes sir. That day, my phone just stopped working I know it was their handiwork. When he came, God revealed to me and I told him you are going to land into problem, your oga will die.
Before Abacha died, one Austin came to me. He said he has a friend of Abubakar, I said he’s going to be next president and Abacha would die, and it happened. There’s nobody that God cannot catch. If 100 pastors and mallams are praying for them, they can’t survive. God is about to move if they don’t change and repent because they have put us under bondage for long. These pastors, let them change. They will say we are Pentecostals, that doesn’t mean you cannot speak truth. There was a time it was only me and Idahosa that were speaking during Babangida’s era. Most of these pastors that were condemning prophec-ies, are now prophesing. Where did they see it? Jealousy and envy are the things killing them.
What is your own assessment of late Pa Obadare?
He’s a man of God. He’s one of the chosen men of God, a soul winner, has the fear of God. That’s one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. He was a blind man and was quoting the Bible. A good preacher of God. He’s one of the best in the Body of Christ that we miss.

He was in one of the best hospitals in the world( in Saudi ) but the doctors gave up on him hence he was brought back to die at home. The former CMD of military Hosp.

NASSARAWA KILLINGS: Relief money hijacked from policemen’s widows
on June 30, 2013 at 12:19 am in Metro
By Abel Daniel
…Women seek herbalists’ help to find ‘missing cops’
“My husband is not dead. Therefore I won’t accept any money in lieu of him”. “Our husbands are not dead; they are only held hostage by alleged cultists. They can be rescued by herbalists”. These statements summarise the responses of some of the widows of the over 100 security officers killed in Nassarawa State by people suspected to be members of a cult. Life has not been the same for the widows and orphans since the demise of their bread winners.
To Mrs. Elisabeth Onoja, wife of Inspector Sunday Onoja, the reported death of her husband is still like a dream one month after. “I don’t believe he is dead because we have not been able to find his corpse”, she said.

“We were told that some of the affected security officials are still being held hostage by those people (cultists) at Lakyo. Since I have not seen my husband’s body, I believe he is one of those held hostage. We are begging government to do everything they can to release our husbands.”

When Sunday Vanguard visited her residence in Lafia, the state capital, the widow was in her bedroom praying and pleading with God to bring the missing husband back home safely. The woman, with six children to cater for, asked President Goodluck Jonathan and the state government to help the widows and children of the slain officers.



“I have six children; the first son just got admission at Nassarawa State University. The last boy is ten years old. All of them are in school. My worry is, who takes care of these children for me? I want government to at least take over the sponsorship of the education of the children of the officers who were on official assignment when they were attacked”.

For Mrs. Mary John from Ado local government area of Benue State, the wife of the late Sgt. Sunday John, the death of her husband has left a vacuum no one can fill. “When my husband left home that day, we thought, like any other day, that he was going to return only for him to come back as a corpse. I am worried daily about how to take care of our seven children”, she said.

“The IGP and the state governor have tried to alleviate our immediate challenges; but I want to beg them to please take over the sponsorship of the education of our children for the sake of my husband who served the nation with his blood. He died in active service. The only consolation they can give me and my children to help me sponsor them”

“The police, the wife of Governor Almakura and some other people gave us some food items. They gave me two bags of rice, one and a half bags of Semovita, one and a half gallons of groundnut oil and cartons of noodles. I thank them, may God reward them. But one bag of rice cannot take us to the end of the month”.

“I want government to help us with job. I can do cleaner job if I get one as I am not doing anything right now. I also want the IG to do everything possible to ensure our late husbands’ benefits are not delayed. This will help us”.
Sunday Vanguard also gathered that one of the wives of the slain police officers refused to claim the money given to the widows to take care of their immediate needs because she did not believe her husband was dead.

Mrs. Carol Ebosele, the secretary of Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA), Nassarawa State chapter, said, “The leadership of POWA has made several attempts to encourage the woman (names withheld) to collect the relief token as that will not stop the husband from returning but she refused and would not allow anybody sympathize with her.

“The shock of the news of the death of the women’s husbands left some of them in hospital. While many of them don’t know how to continue with their lives, some have almost spent the cash given to them by the IG and the state governor, and now seeking the help of herbalists to rescue their husbands after being told by the herbalists that their husbands are held hostage by the alleged cult group”.

Mrs.Priye Gotto, Nassarawa POWA coordinator, also revealed that some of the widows’ husbands’ relations have hijacked the money given to them to take care of their immediate needs. “Some of them complained to us that while they were busy with their husbands’ burial arrangements, their husbands’ brothers collected the money and refused to give them a penny”, Gotto said.

“We are doing our best in to ensure that the widows are properly taken care of, especially those with many children. We encourage them to open bank accounts in their names so that the money can be paid directly to the accounts.

“The POWA leadership in the state has pledged to push the request of these widows to the national office of the association, and the nation’s first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, so that the poor widows are not neglected. As married women, we are all potential widows. It could happen to anybody”

Taraba Community Fund
 
Introduction
Taraba State has a population of about two (2) million people, and was created in 1991 from the old Gongola State; it is located in the Northeast zone of Nigeria. The State lies largely within the tropical zones and has a vegetation of low forests in the southern part and grasslands in the northern part. It is divided into sixteen (16) Local Government Areas (LGAs) with Jalingo as its capital. The major occupation of the people of Taraba State is agriculture (farming); other small scale trades include pottery, cloth-weaving, dyeing, mat-making, carving, embroidery, and blacksmithing. The social-economic challenges facing the State include: a poor educational system, dearth of functional health facilities, high illiteracy, youth unemployment and waning interest in agricultural activities.

The Taraba Community fund is designed as a strategic grant making framework and direct financing mechanism for small and medium scale community initiatives, designed specifically for Taraba State by the TY Danjuma Foundation. Over time, it is expected that the fund will develop a self financing scheme to support short to medium term social initiatives.

The first edition of the call for the Taraba Community Fund was launched in 2011. The fund also provides technical assistance for both programmatic and institutional sustainability to enhance community engagement and targeted social initiatives.

What the Taraba Community Fund does

And the essence of this story is? Is it not possible for a girl's clothes even undies to be at her boyfriend's place and vice versa? For the calabash ish dunno what it signifies(ir were her body parts found inside)? Meanwhile dude is not guilty until investigations is rounded up. Trust me he is the number one suspect but frankly what if. She said she was going to see her bobo and went somewhere else? Its possible boys and girls do thsi to each other. Even when she got missing and the boyfriend went to the police he would have still been arrested as the prime suspect. God sees everything and thank God everyone will taste death. RIP to her and may God comfort her family in this trying period

Oshiomole just broadcasted to the good people of Edo state this evening and frankly I was diappointed at the way he used the word ruthless through out the speech. Why do the last thing first and vice versa. You banned bikes in 3 local govt areas and used style to extend into ovia north east and partd of aduwawa. He even went ahead to say people should not bother to buy keke and that he was dialoguing with registerd bike men in benin to provide more jobs for them,provide more comrade buses and expect commercial bus owners to provide more buses,where will they get money from. Why not put the palliatives on a test run first before the ban? I was angered at how the task force demolished those shops n containers at main gate of uniben beyond repair its not like they are on the road sef,where does he expect those peeps to go? Oshiomole is now becoming a tyrant

Where did you get your statistics of the average age of an okada man in benin from? Agreed most of these YOUNG okada riders aint benin indigenes (those that ply their trade in benin specufically) but when you get to the remote n rural areas you will see young vibrant indigenes hustling from okada business.Most streets are run by middle aged okada riders .if you doubt me from ugbowo starting from federal government girls college junction,adolor college junction,uwasota,nova road junction,technical road junction,uselu market area,etinosa motel junction,uselu park area,taextile mill,okhoro and medical all the way to wire road,ring road,mission road n new benin area you will hardly see old men as bike riders
thelastPope: You are a liar. Where do you know in Benin? If you know Benin, then you will know the average Benin boy will not want to ride Okada. Benin people are very proud people. So many of the okada riders are elderly people above 50 years. You that has never gone past ore, claiming you know Benin

PoliticsAutopsy Reveals DPO Shot UNIBEN Student 3 Times From Behind by dapachez(op): 9:57pm On Jun 10, 2013
Few days ago, the police authorities exhumed the remains of the late University of Benin, UNIBEN, student, Momodu Ibrahim, allegedly killed by a police female Division Police Officer, DPO, Carol Afegbai.

The Executive Director, Foundation for Good Governance and Social Change, Austin Osakue, has now claimed that the autopsy result showed that late Ibrahim was shot three times from behind by the police. Osakwu disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV breakfast show on Monday, which was monitored by Aproko247.

The activist claimed that the three bullets shot by the DPO “went into the late Ibrahim through the back, tore the heart and exited through the chest.” He said the claim by the DPO that late Ibrahim was shot in self defence was a blatant lie.

Osakwe called for the prosecution of Afegbai and not the redeployment done to her by the police authorities.

However, the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police, Frank Mba, denied that the police authorities were trying to cover up for the DPO through her redeployment. Mba said this when he called into the same programme. The police spokesman said the matter would be thoroughly investigated and the culprits brought to book.

As an alumni of uniben am pissed at your insensitive remark,is there any tertiary institution devoid of thieves no matter the scale? So everybody you see inside uniben or rather some of them are thieves? You lost your iphone(that's if you even have one) and you are now insinuating in relation to this thread that the killed student is a thief as alleged.That female DPO has a bad track record from when she was in esegie police station to ikpoba hill(wahala junction area) till she was moved to ogida policer station where she committed her latest havoc. She wears Jeans n brandish her pistol with reckless abadon. She accost you aand you don't comply she won't hesitate to shoot. That said she has busted some notorious robbers in benin but does that give her the right to kill innocent people,why not shot him in the hand or leg?
playcharles: i was in uniben weeks ago, those guys b crooks and robbers.....imagine my iphone 4 and wallet they collected from me, was left stranded, the fact is some UNIBEN student are thieves...

List the sectors with sources or pictures,development of market ko market ni? Am waiting for your reply. People love him that they dress like him smh for you. What is the typical hausa dressing isn't it kaftan or agbada? So what's the big deal.
homesteady: My people say 'You will never know the taste of poison, until you taste it'
I'm currently in Ugbowo, benin city edo state!!, near UNIBEN!! So in this case, I've tasted the poison!! So I know how it tastes!!
I said you people should stop over-praising him!! Is it so hard to understand!! the praises he is getting is making him so lazy!! I'll still continue to use kano state governor as an example!! Just in his 2years in office, he has transformed kano in almost every sector!! He is so popular and loved in kano state that people now dress like him!! White kaftan and red cap!! He has empowered a lot of people!! He has transformed sabon garri market!! The government house is now a sight to behold!! And many more things!! I'm always in kano, so I know all this things!! So if oshiomole is described as a performing governor, what will I call kano state governor?? Super performing governor?? I should have use lagos state in comparing, but I've never been to lagos.
