SLIDEwaxie: Hey sis, get used to being an ordinary lady now and not some yeye first lady. U can quit whining for a start

Truckpusher: He is just too dumb to understand what awaits him.

PapaBrowne: You say the man is too elitist and couldn't connect with his people which by all calculations would see him loose.

But at the same time you say the election was rigged? What kind of discombobulated reasoning is that? Why does extra ordinary sentiment overtake the reasoning of many APC personas? It has to do with what I call the "failure complex". You know that kid who failed badly in school and says two things at the same time (1) They didn't teach us what they set in Exams AND (2)The teacher doesn't like me so he failed me. Discombulated reasoning!!

jeffizy: It is as expected.

The wife of Ekiti State Governor, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, has said that events unfolding after the June 21 governorship election in the state suggest that the election was manipulated from ‘‘source.’’

In due course, she said that the full story of how the election was allegedly manipulated against Governor Kayode Fayemi would be revealed.

She bared her mind while delivering a keynote address at the 50th anniversary public lecture and award ceremony of the state chapter of the International Federation of Women Lawyers.

The theme of her address was “Women yesterday, today and tomorrow – the Ekiti experience.”

On the occasion, Governor Fayemi; a legal practitioner, Mrs. Funmi Falana; and the immediate past state President of the National Council of Women’s Societies, Mrs. Nike Obatayo, were given awards for their exemplary contributions to women rights and empowerment.

According to the governor’s wife, many armchair analysts and commentators have opined that the electorate embraced patronage, popularly known as ‘stomach infrastructure’ as opposed to sustainable development during the last elections.

She said, “I would like to state that we have not heard the last about the election. Two weeks after the immediate confusion and hysteria of the June 21 election, a picture has begun to emerge.

“This will, hopefully, reframe the debates emanating from and about Ekiti and the choices they allegedly made on that day.

“In due course, the full and real story of how the Ekiti election of June 21 was manipulated from source will be revealed. There are many implications for Ekiti people having voted the way they supposedly did.”

She said that one of the implications, as it concerns women, was that all policies, laws and structures put in place over the past three years to protect them

The Department of State Services has apprehended six kidnappers of Chief Nitabai Inengite, an uncle to President Goodluck Jonathan.

Inengite was abducted at Otuoke community in the Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State in February, 2014.

The kidnappers, who were paraded at the DSS headquarters in Abuja on Thursday include a 400-level undergraduate of the University of Jos, Plateau State, Eldred Jonah,30; Raphael Inengesi, 32; Ibeabuchi Inya,29; Oreva Abridi 29; Tammy Agbai,29; and a native doctor, Felix Onuoh,48.

The Service also paraded another set of kidnappers that were involved in the abduction of two sisters, Ejura and Unekwu Opaluwa at Karmo, Abuja on June 8, 2014.

The suspects are Oyemire Asagba, 29, aka Paul/Sky; Sunday Attah,30, aka Shyne; the armourer, Zacheus Salami,30, aka ‘D’; Victor Bassey,32; the driver, Sani Mohammed,23;, and Aragba Ademo,33, aka IT/Topson.

Others are Ojo Gambo,22; Haruna Asama,38; Dikko Iko, 22; and Mohammed Adamu,20, aka Mikifi/Abu.

The DSS Deputy Director, Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar, explained that Jonah masterminded the abduction of the President’s uncle and provided the take-off grant of N40,000 for arms procurement and other logistics.

According to her, the suspect confessed that he carried out surveillance on Inengite and that the gang had two teams for the operation, comprising the land team made up of five persons, and the waterside (speedboat) team, made up of three persons.

Ogar stated that four pump action rifles were used for the operation, adding that Inengite was whisked away in an ash-coloured Honda SUV to Onuegbu waterside from where he was transferred into a waiting speedboat and taken to the creeks.

She said, “The victim was held captive at two different locations within Bayelsa State in the creek of Brass, very close to the ‘mouth’ of the Atlantic Ocean and Okigbene creeks.

“Following a security operation by this service, he was released after 17 days in captivity without payment of ransom. Investigation into the incident eventually led to the arrest of the six suspects in Bayelsa, Delta and Edo States.”

Ogar stated that Agbai, an unemployed graduate of Accounting from the University of Port Harcourt, was the owner of the car that was used for the abduction, adding that the suspect denied involvement in the kidnap operation, claiming that one of his friends, Jonah, requested the use of the car for a burial ceremony, which he obliged him.

In an interview with newsmen, Jonah, who admitted to providing the money and undertaking surveillance for the abduction, claimed that the motivation for the operation was not ransom.

Onuoha, the native doctor, explained that he provided charms and herbal fortification for the kidnap gang because he was afraid they may harm him and his family if he did not cooperate with them.

He said, “Abridi came with three men and said they want juju for business success which I did for them. They later said that was not what they wanted, that they wanted to kidnap someone and wanted charm for protection.

“The moment they said that, their faces changed and I was afraid that if I don’t cooperate with them, they may harm me and my family because I was with my family at the time, so I agreed to help them and I asked them to pay me 10 per cent of the ransom.”

Ogar also explained that the leader of the kidnappers of two girls in Abuja, Asagba confessed to the crime, adding that the operation was carried out by him and four other gang members.

She said, “Paul had been arrested previously at a military checkpoint at Uke, Keffi LGA, Nasarawa State, while in possession of two Ak-47 rifles, magazines and 87 rounds of live ammunition.

“He was arraigned in court, convicted and sentenced to one and a half years in prison which he served at Keffi Prison in March 2013.

“Upon his release, he returned to his criminal activities and confessed that he kidnapped the two sisters at Life Camp, Abuja and that they collected N10m before releasing the victims, but they lied to the co-opted members that they received only N6m.”

The DSS stated that the gang co-opted Iko, the security guard at the victims’ residence who provided information on the movement of the Opaluwa family.

The service said that Iko had confided in a kinsman, Ezekiel, that his employer, the father of the kidnapped girls, kept money at home and it was Ezekiel who promised to introduce him to friends that could steal the money.

UrbanMystique: there are far too much slums In America. In Queens, Baltimore, Detroit, etc but they don't snap the picture and upload on the in the Internet like we love to do here.
America has more gettos than any country in Africa #fact

cococandy: In other words,it is better to praise the slums of Nigeria so that outsiders will have a pseudo nice image of our country than to speak up about it so that the govt can do something right?
Even with all the wealth we live like paupers here and you're more concerned about keeping up appearances than rooting to fix the problem

Joke.
Deluded.

Keep up the image laundering ok? Let those who are actually concerned say something.

Anyway I agree that this one is a nice thread but it doesn't change the truth.
Bye

cococandy: I've seen that picture plenty times.
It means that ghettos must be so hard to find if that's all the disparagers can find to discredit america with.

Meanwhile it looks almost like the cities of nigeria.

Heaven on earth? You bet.
I pray I get the chance to leave this country soooon. Sooner than soon sef.

You didn't see that coming about your heaven on earth, right?

cococandy: is this the only ghetto in America?
All the people I see trying to discredit America use this same picture.
Says a lot huh?

He said, “Go and read the statement I made to the police.”

When asked whether he was under the influence of drugs when he committed the crime, Tolani who confessed that he had been into drugs, said, “I tried those drugs myself. I might have heard it from my friends, but I tried it myself.

“But I know there is no way Nigerians can help me. I am going to face my judgement. I am meant to pay for what I have done. It is not as if I am ready, it is something that is inevitable, something that is going to happen, I am just waiting for it.”

The 21-year-old Redeemer’s University undergraduate, Tolani, who killed his father, Charles Ajayi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, last Thursday, has said his late father provoked him into killing him.

PUNCH Metro had reported that Tolani murdered his father at Canaanland Street in the Redemption Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ogun State.

The 300-level student of Department of History and International Relations, spoke with our correspondent on Tuesday at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta , where he was being detained for the crime.

Tolani, who the vice chancellor of RUN said was facing a disciplinary committee in the school before he committed the crime, was initially reluctant to open up to PUNCH Metro.

He said, “Go and read the statement I made to the police.”

But he later changed his mind after a measure of persistence, saying he regretted his action.

Expatiating on how the father provoked him, he said there was an argument between him and his father.

He said, “My father went to the kitchen and got a stick (wooden spoon) which he used on me repeatedly and I tried to defend myself. Then, he bit me on the shoulder and I got angry.

“I initially used a normal small kitchen knife. Later, I used cutlass to attack him. I regret the action.”

He further explained that the incident happened around 1am, adding that during the scuffle, his father bit him many times.

He said during the incident, only he and the late father were at home, while his mother was in Abuja.

When asked whether his parents lived together as husband and wife, Tolani said “ We lived in Abuja; I schooled in the camp (Redemption Camp). My father came for a programme. My school was on break, so, I went to meet him. We were meant to go back to Abuja together, then the incident happened and here I am.”

Tolani, who said he had offended his mother by his action, added that he had sent some people to beg her on his behalf for forgiveness.

He said, “I know my mother is still grieving and I want to give her time. But I have sent some people to talk to her that I am sorry, and that she should forgive me. I have talked to my sister.”

When asked whether he was under the influence of drugs when he committed the crime, Tolani who confessed that he had been into drugs, said, “I tried those drugs myself. I might have heard it from my friends, but I tried it myself.

RoyalRoy: What a great coincidence!!

This post was originally started around May and the Op comes back only 4 months after to complete it!
And only one person made a comment while it was lying fallow


What am thinking?

Nothing

inforesource: My dear, you don't need to be surprised seeing Pastors or Imams children misbehaving. A lot of them are super-heros to outsiders and total failure at home: pretending everything is well. That is pure religion.

inforesource: The investigation should go beyond his father's. This guy has done many bad things before now. I can't figure out how he did that if he had not been practising it before now.

And for all the parents who are looking for best for their children, they should know that monitoring and watching of their children's strange behaviour should be made a priority.

Lastly, don't think because your child attends covenant or redeemers' University that will automatically make him or her a good child. Charity begins at home. If you fail to bring up a child in the fear of the LORD, then be ready to have devils as children.

RIP Sir. May God give the family the fortitude to bear the lose. Take heart Ma!

strangest: @op Pathetic, some other OPs would have put the names in bold to score a cheap point...

gratiaeo: Day by day we are seeing the evil at the heart of APC. The funny thing is that this party of evil shouts the loudest about injustice while in actual fact the party is the epitome of injustice and evil.

The Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force, Adeniji-Adele Street, Lagos, on Monday paraded a chief of the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, Itunnu Odeyemi, and eight others, saying they were notorious for snatching exotic cars in the country.

The police said Odeyemi was also an APC Local Government Area executive in Efon-Alaaye, Ekiti State.

Other members of the nine-man gang are Omoniyi Ajewole, Oluseye Jacob, Oluwadamiliare Rasaki, Ajisafe Olawale, Ogunniyi Sunday, Tolani Babatunde, Abubakar Umar, and Ayodeji Olumudi.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, said the suspects were arrested after a victim, who was robbed of two vehicles and other valuables on June 27, 2013 in Ile-Ife, Osun State, reported to the police. He added that the case was later transferred to the FSARS.



It was gathered that the arrest of Ajewole, a 28-year-old man from Ilesha, Osun State, had led to the arrest of other members of the gang which included Odeyemi, who Ajewole also claimed was his political godfather.

While speaking with journalists, Odeyemi denied being a member of the gang. He said he provided Ajewole with a locally-made gun, which the police have recovered, to protect him during the period of the recently concluded governorship election in Ekiti State.

He said, “Omoniyi (Ajewole) is my political thug. I brought him to my place and gave him a gun to secure me. I have never participated in any robbery operation, but he used to escort me with the gun. Having an escort was part of the gains of being a political leader. All APC leaders were working for the government during the election.

“Every political party, including ours has factions. That was why I gave him the gun, so that he could always protect me wherever I went. I also told him to be with me, particularly as the Ekiti election was approaching then. I had seen the gun on the ground during the 2007 elections violence in the state and had kept it.”

Ajewole, who was first caught by the police, confessed during interrogation that he had been working as a political thug for the APC chieftain.

He said, “He had given me the gun to use in protecting him during campaign violence. But I had not yet used the gun before I was arrested in September 2013. I am not a robber. I prefer to be called a political thug. I was the only one the honourable (Odeyemi) gave the gun, and he also paid me salary.”

Our correspondent learnt that after the arrest of the gang, the FSARS were able to recover 17 stolen cars in different parts of the country, most of which were Toyota and Honda brands. Three assorted guns were also recovered from them.

Mba said the suspects would soon be arraigned in court.

He said, “This is a case that started on June 27, 2013 when a Nigerian was robbed of two vehicles and other valuables and he reported the incident to the police. This arrest is one of the achievements of the FSARS. It led to the arrest of nine suspects who were clearly linked with not just the armed robbery reported, but a series of such in the country.

“An interesting aspect of the arrest is that Ajewole confessed to the police that he was not an armed robber, but also a political thug working for Odeyemi Itunnu from Efon Alaaye, Ekiti State. We want to warn politicians to steer clear of actions that are capable of posing a threat to the security of the country.”
