Bayelsa and Delta are oil producing state yet they are competing with Osun over unpaid salaries.
If after receiving additional 13% oyel money and they are still owning workers then Osun derserve kudos for managing the little funds available.
Seeing this type of news is really annoying , how i wish our Obama look alike with Obanikoro thinking can say something just the same way he was busy tweeting about Osun then.

Crime / Video : Wife Caught On Video While Arranging A Hitman To Kill Her Husband by dridowu: 5:53pm On May 08, 2016
A CHILLING video of a young wife trying to hire a hit man to murder her husband because it was ‘easier than divorcing’ him.

Julia Charlene Merfeld, 20, of Michigan in the US, has pleaded guilty to soliciting the murder of her 27-year-old husband.

An undercover police officer posing as a hit man secretly filmed two videos of Merfeld as they negotiated her the killing while sitting in a car.

At one point Merfeld explains that in her opinion, murder would be “easier than divorcing” – she wouldn’t have to worry about her family’s judgment or “breaking his heart” if he was killed.

Police allege Merfeld wanted her husband’s $400,000 life insurance policy and promised to pay $50,000 for the hit.

Sports / VIDEO: Cameroonian Football Player Patrick Ekang Dies After Collapsing On Pitch by dridowu: 9:47am On May 07, 2016
An international footballer has collapsed and died while playing for a Romanian top league club in a match broadcast live on TV.

Several players and club staff members were seen in tears after Patrick Ekeng dropped to the ground while playing for Dinamo Bucharest.

Local media said the 26-year-old from Cameroon suffered a heart attack.

Spokesman for the Floreasca Emergency Hospital, Cristian Pandrea, said doctors had tried for an hour to resuscitate the midfielder but failed.

Mr Pandrea said the cause of death was not known.

The match between Dinamo and Viitorul Constanta was 3-3 at the time midfielder Ekeng fell to the ground 69 minutes into the game.

Ekeng had played twice for his national team Cameroon, both times at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, and also had spells with Spanish club Cordoba CF, Swiss club Lausanne, and French club Le Mans.

The footballer had a wife and daughter.

Politics / US 'seeks To Sell' Attack Aircraft To Nigeria by dridowu: 10:45am On May 06, 2016
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. administration is seeking to approve a sale of as many as 12 A-29 Super Tucano light attack aircraft to Nigeria to aid its battle against the extremist group Boko Haram, U.S. officials say, in a vote of confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari's drive to reform the country's corruption-tainted military.

Washington also is dedicating more intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets to the campaign against the Islamist militants in the region and plans to provide additional training to Nigerian infantry forces, the officials told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the administration's plans.

The possible sale -- which the officials said was favored within the U.S. administration but is subject to review by Congress -- underscores the deepening U.S. involvement in helping governments in north and west Africa fight extremist groups.

U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Michael Franken, a deputy commander of the Pentagon's Africa Command, told a Washington forum last week that there now are 6,200 U.S. troops - most of them Special Operations Forces - operating from 26 locations on the continent.

The widening U.S. military cooperation is a political victory for Buhari, who took office last year pledging to crack down on the rampant corruption that has undermined the armed forces in Africa's most populous country.

"The Buhari administration I think has really reenergized the bilateral relationship in a fundamental way," one U.S. official said.

The previous Nigerian government of Goodluck Jonathan had scorned the United States for blocking arms sales partly because of human rights concerns. It also criticized Washington for failing to speed the sharing of intelligence.

The souring relations hit a low at the end of 2014 when U.S. military training of Nigerian forces was abruptly halted.

That is changing under Buhari, whose crackdown on corruption has led to a raft of charges against top national security officials in the previous government. [nL8N15242S]

"Buhari made clear from the get-go that his number one priority was reforming the military to defeat Boko Haram ... And he sees us as part of that solution," a second U.S. official said.

Still, serious human rights abuses committed by security forces, which include police, increased in 2015, according to the U.S. State Department's annual human rights report.

Many of the funds alleged to have been misused and siphoned off by corrupt Nigerian officials under Jonathan's government were earmarked for the fight against Boko Haram, which has killed thousands in northeast Nigeria and neighboring countries in the last seven years. Last year, the group pledged loyalty to Islamic State.

"No wonder they weren't doing well with respect to Boko Haram. (They) didn’t have the ammunition," the first official said.

The accused officials include Nigeria's former chief of defense staff, who last month pleaded not guilty to using money allocated for Nigeria's air force to buy a mansion and a commercial plot of land and build a shopping mall. [nL5N16F2PF]

ARMED AIRCRAFT

Congress has not yet been formally notified of the possible U.S. approval of the sale of Embraer's A29 Super Tucano turboprop aircraft to Nigeria.

The Tucanos can be used for training, surveillance or attack. They can be armed with two wing-mounted machine guns and can carry up to 1,550 Kg (3,417 pounds) of weapons. (See Factbox: [nL2N17W1SQ])

One production line for the Super Tucano is in Florida, where it is built with U.S. firm Sierra Nevada Corp. The aircraft that would be sold to Nigeria come with a "very basic armed configuration," one of the U.S. officials said.

The sale could offer Nigeria a more maneuverable aircraft that can stay aloft for extended periods to target Boko Haram formations. Officials did not disclose the cost of the planes to be sold to Nigeria.

However, a contract for 20 similar aircraft sold to Afghanistan was valued at about $428 million at the time it was announced in 2013.

J. Peter Pham, director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council think tank, said any sale of Super Tucano aircraft would demonstrate improving ties, but cautioned that their ability to counter Boko Haram could be limited.

"When you're fighting a group that's no longer holding towns and villages, that's no longer massing forces in a conventional way, the aircraft – attack aircraft – have a much more limited role in that kind of fight," Pham said.

African armies routed the militant group from much of its self-proclaimed caliphate in northeastern Nigeria last year.

Its fighters have since regrouped and intensified their attacks in the Lake Chad Basin, threatening regional security, despite the creation of a 9,000-strong African multinational force to counter it.

The U.S. military expects to train a second Nigerian infantry battalion once the current group completes its training later this year, the first official said.

The officials did not specify what type of additional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets would be provided to bolster the regional fight against Boko Haram.

They acknowledge that they have a tough task combating the group, which is sending women and children strapped with explosives to blow up civilian targets such as marketplaces.

"Boko Haram has morphed back in to what it had earlier been, not a holder of large amounts of territory, but rather a generator of asymmetric attacks," the second official said.

Crime / Six Nigerian Students Held For Drug Trafficking by dridowu: 10:30am On May 06, 2016
SERDANG, May 6 (Bernama) -- Police have arrested six Nigerian private college students for alleged drug trafficking in Serdang, and seized almost 3kg of ganja slabs.

Serdang Police chief ACP Megat Mohd Aminuddin Megat Alias said on Friday the students, in their 20s, were picked up in two raids in Taman Serdang Perdana, Seri Kembangan here under the 'Ops Tapis' operation.

A female and four male students were arrested in the first raid on a house in Section 5, Taman Serdang Perdana, yesterday, he said, adding that they were from private colleges in the Ampang area.

"The police seized a ganja slab weighing 860 grams valued at about RM3,000 and 14 slabs of a substance believed to be drugs wrapped in foils and weighing 102 grams valued at RM3,800," he told a news conference.

Megat Mohd Aminuddin said the drugs were believed to have been supplied from Taman Connaught, Cheras.

He also said that the male students tested positive for ganja.

He said another male student was arrested as he was parking his Perodua MyVi car in Taman Serdang Perdana yesterday.

He was a student of a college in Jalan Tun Razak, he added.

The suspect attempted to flee but was caught by the police who also seized the car keys, he said.

"A check of the car revealed two slabs of ganja wrapped in plastic sheet weighing about 2kg valued at RM7,600," he said.

Megat Mohd Aminuddin said all the suspects were being held under remand for seven days from today pending investigation under Section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952.

Crime / Nigerian, 27, Stabbed To Death Over Stolen Tooth Brush by dridowu: 6:24pm On May 04, 2016
A brawl between two Nigerians living at the Beach Drive Road at Nungua in Accra over a stolen tooth brush has led to the death of one.

Marvelous Okere, 26, and a trader living together in the same room with other occupants “engaged the deceased” – Sunday Orga – in an open fight over his stolen tooth brush on Saturday.

Speaking to Starr News, the Greater Accra Regional Police spokesperson Afia Tenge, said in the “course of the confrontation” Okere took a bottle, broke it and “stabbed the left rib of the deceased.”

“He bled profusely and when he was rushed to the LEKMA Hospital he passed on,” Tenge stated.

Upon interrogation, the suspect said he stabbed his colleague because he “slapped” him.

Okere is currently in police custody “for investigations to also continue.”

The remains of Orga, 27, has been deposited at the Police Hospital morgue “awaiting autopsy.”
