Politics › Re: We Will Poison Our Water, Fayose Threatens Fulani Herdsmen by dridowu(op): 10:42am On May 04, 2016
raker300:
just once I said just once...support your fellow southerner and leave sentiments. The south has been under the scourge of the north. when a bold southerner decides to fight back, the same southerner fights the southerner.

Have any northerner done anything to stop the herdsmen rampage?
Support Poisoning of the water just because of the herdsmen? Count me out of it. Their is oil spillage in Niger Delta into their farms, water e.t.c, do you know how many people that are affected ? It affects farmers, fishermen e.t.c If Fayose dare do it, it will affect farmers that use that water as source for watering of his/her farms, likewise it will affect fishermen, meaning fishes will die. Indirectly this affect majority of Ekiti inhabitant and Nigeria at large. You may think , you are not base in Ekiti but remember that the farmer that is farm is affected might want to sell it to the public like that without you knowing. Remember no one want to lost.
Moreover, has Fayose even provide enough quality water to its citizen ? Meaning again, some inhabitant must be using that as drinking water. Can you know see why poisoning of the water is not the solution to herdsmen or better still educate me on poisoning of the water because of herdsmen is good.

Politics › We Will Poison Our Water, Fayose Threatens Fulani Herdsmen by dridowu(op): 9:56am On May 04, 2016
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, on Tuesday,
warned marauding herdsmen that have sent many
Nigerians to their untimely graves in parts of the
country to steer clear of his state or otherwise risk
a greater danger for their cattle.
He said failure on their part to heed the warning
would lead to the people of the state poisoning the
source of water by the herdsmen for the cattle.
Fayose stated this on Tuesday, while speaking on
the topic: “Journalism and Politics; two sides of a
coin,” at the World Press Freedom Day organised
by the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Oyo State
Council, held at the Dapo Aderogba hall, Iyaganku,
Ibadan.
Fayose said the time had come for Nigerians to
defend themselves in the face of unwarranted
attacks and killings by suspected herdsmen across
the country.
Citing the carnage carried out by them in Benue and
Enugu states, the governor said Boko Haram
appeared to have changed its identity to herdsmen,
unleashing terror on innocent citizens of the country,
He said he had instructed his people to poison
water with a particular brand of chemical used
against fungal attacks in the event of any herdsmen
attack in Ekiti.
“It seems Boko Haram has changed identity to
herdsmen now. You as journalists must speak out,
the killings are under reported. Is it about the mass
burial in Kaduna State, the Agatu saga or the recent
killing which happened on Monday? Ask questions,”
he said.
On his criticism of President Muhammed Buhari,
Fayose said he had nothing against the personality
of the president, but that the world democracy did
not live on old leaders again.
Fayose said it was wrong for the president to
believe he could use the panacea he adopted to
tackle national problems over 30 years ago as head
of state to solve current national challenges.
“President Buhari is too old to rule this country and
that is why there is problem in this country now. He
is like my grandfather. Nigeria should not produce
any president that is over 60 years.
“World democracy don’t parade octogenarians
again. Young people should rise up to challenge the
older generation. Maybe that is why there is a law
that a pilot should not fly an aircraft after 65 years
of age,” he said.
Fayose advised journalists in the country to hold
politicians accountable for their deeds and character
while in office, in order to save the country from
going down.
“You are the last hope of common man. When
journalists support looters, there is confusion of
vision. Journalists should shy away from it. Bad
politicians should be brought to justice. Don’t write
about issues you don’t know. Don’t rely on what a
politician told you of his supposed enemy and don’t
inherit his enemies. Journalists must help bring
corrupt politicians to justice.
“When politicians are going wrong, let them feel the
heat first from you. Most politicians are using
journalists in Nigeria for their dirty jobs and they
are supporting wicked politicians. Journalists in
Nigeria always shy away from the truth because
they are self-centred and greedy. As a journalist,
you need to discharge your duty without fear or
favour.
“Politicians have no address and this is why it is
possible for a politician to defect from PDP after 12
years to APC and is being celebrated as a saint.
Journalists should stop supporting and having soft
spots for political parties and politicians. Some of
you have sympathy for PDP or APC. Don’t join our
battle. You are the hope of the common man and
the only thing they can enjoy,” he said.
The governor said journalists were being used for
dirty jobs, advising them to remember that
Nigerians needed them more than politicians.
“Nigeria needs you more than politicians. When you
pervade the truth, Nigeria is in trouble. We are in
the wrong direction in this country and it is time to
keep all of us on course.
“Journalists need to put politicians on their toes.
Anybody that encroaches our constitution must be
brought to book; you must defend our constitution.
The career of most journalists that dabbled into
politics had been destroyed.
“This is an era of public governance and in the last
12 months, we have never had it so bad in this
country. No fuel, no electricity and I can
categorically tell you that we are in the wrong
direction as Nigerians. I am pleading with you, save
Nigeria,” he said.
On 2019 elections, the governor assured that
though PDP failed during the 2015 elections
because those at the helm of affairs of the party
were bereft of ideas, the party is being repositioned
to return to power in 2019.
According to him, “Yes, PDP failed in 2015, not
because people didn’t like PDP, but because they
didn’t like certain individuals. We are prepared to do
the cleansing. We are ready to make the drastic
change. And I tell you, we’re coming back.”
He said the party needed the services of younger
and vibrant members and not the elderly ones, who
ought to leave the stage when the ovation was
loudest.”

Celebrities › I Won’t Marry Any Of Mybabymamas, Says Flavour by dridowu(op): 6:19pm On Apr 30, 2016
Celebrated highlife musician, Flavour N’abania, has probably broken the hearts of his two babymamas, Sandra Okagbue and Anna Banner, who may be hoping to settle down with the singer someday, following his interview with HipTV where he stated he would not be getting married to any of his Babymamas, adding that for someone like him, marriage would be a huge distraction and that most artistes at their prime in their trade are bound to crash once they get married.

“Marriage is not a thing that you just go into. This music business is a serious business. My own opinion, I think if you are in the peak of your career, you don’t need any distraction.

So for now, I think marriage could be a distraction for me because it is a whole big institution that when you go in, you have to be fully prepared to know what you are getting into,” he said.

“And right now, looking at everything, its not so easy for me now….and most of my colleagues, whenever they get married, everything starts crashing down. I keep asking people, have you ever seen a successful musician having a good home and a good career? Its not going to be easy. If you know one, just tell me” he added.

Crime › Two Nigerians Arrested For Drug Trafficking In Mumbai, India by dridowu(op): 12:51pm On Apr 30, 2016
Mumbai: The city crime branch, in a major covert operation late on Thursday night, raided the area near the railway tracks below the Wadi Bunder flyover and arrested two Nigerians with 40gm cocaine.
The police said the cocaine seized from Infunanya Minke, 37, and Ique Emaniyal, 24, was worth Rs 5 lakh. They also seized small electronic weighing machines, Rs 45,000 and seven mobiles from the two, which they hope will help them track down other gang members and those buying drugs from them.
Five policemen suffered minor injuries after around 20 Nigerians peddling drugs pelted them with stones. The drama near the tracks between Masjid Bunder and Pydhonie went on till 5am on Friday. "We and even police commissioner Dattatray Padsalgikar had been receiving information that the drug peddlers had become a menace in the vicinity. We decided to come down heavily on the peddlers." said Atul Kulkarni, joint commissioner of police (crime).
He said the crime branch formed a team of around 60 policemen from various units and carried out the surprise raid.
The police did not take the help of special units of the anti-narcotics cell (ANC) and government railway police (GRP), under whose jurisdiction the raid was carried out on Thursday night.
"When our team surrounded the gang, an accused jumped from the 30-foot high bridge and ran along the tracks. The others started pelting stones but the police party fired three rounds in the air to scare them off," said Dhananjay Kulkarni, deputy commissioner of police. Police inspector Santosh Bagwe and three constables suffered minor injuries. The police team comprised of Bagwe, Ajay Sawant, Dhiraj Koli and Sachin Kadam.
The police said some of the Nigerians ran along the tracks up to Byculla, from where they disappeared under the cover of darkness.
The gang would sit in an abandoned BPT building near the tracks and then climb up to sell their contraband on the Pydhonie flyover. Most clients would come on bikes. The police said that the GRP and local police had tried to carry out raids but did not get "strong approval" from seniors.
The accused have allegedly been carrying out the business for around six years. Kulkarni said they would coordinate with the railways, increase patrolling and conduct surprise raids.

When questioned about this Collina responds "The illness which made my hair fall out is not a problem for me. But there are many children who have this same illness and perhaps their parents will tell them to look at me to see that to suffer from alopecia is not important. What that man said would not create a problem for me, but maybe for children who might be hurt. I was very angry. You should not disrespect people that way"

Sports › Liverpool Trying Jacob Njoku And Ejike by dridowu(op): 5:31pm On Apr 25, 2016
Highly-rated Nigerian starlets Jacob Njoku and Chidera Ejike have joined Liverpool on a trial basis, according to the duo's representative. Manchester City had previously kept a close eye on 18-year-old attacking midfielder Ejike's progress at the Gee-Lec academy, but are yet to make a move for the highly-rated youngster.

Liverpool instead have jumped the queue, inviting the player over for a two-week trial, along with 18-year-old Njoku, who was previously on the books of Portuguese giants Porto.

"Njoku and Ejike are in Liverpool already. We arrived in England around 2pm on Saturday (23 April), they are starting training tomorrow," the pair's representative Babawo Mohammed told AllNigeriaSoccer.com.

Major clubs across Europe have looked to young Nigerian options in recent months following the country's success at the Under-17 World Cup in November 2015.

Arsenal have also agreed deals for both Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Chukwueze, with Arsene Wenger confirming in January the club were hopeful of resolving work permit and medical issues to sign up the pair.


Sixteen-year-old midfielder Chukwueze was given a British entry visa allowing him to complete his move in February, while 17-year-old Nwakali, who won the Golden Ball award at November's tournament in Chile, revealed he had signed a five-year-contract with the Gunners.

Liverpool meanwhile have already begun making preparations for next season with Schalke defender Joel Matip poised to join the club in July when his current deal with the Bundesliga club expires.

Udinese midfielder Piotr Zielinski also confirmed he had already held talks with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp over a move to Anfield this summer. The versatile midfielder was tentatively linked with a move to the Premier League in January and confirmed in April he had been in direct contact with the Reds' boss.

FC Cologne and Germany full-back Jonas Hector has also admitted he would find it very difficult to turn down a move to Liverpool if Klopp was to reach out to him.

Politics › EFCC Clears Danladi Umar Of N10m Bribe Allegation by dridowu(op): 7:52pm On Apr 20, 2016
The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) says its chairman, Danladi Umar, has been cleared of a N10m-bribe allegation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Ibrahim Alhassan, spokesman of the tribunal, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.

He said that the EFCC sent a letter to the tribunal on Wednesday clearing the CCT chairman of the allegation.

“The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has today conveyed a letter to the chairman Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Hon Danladi Yakubu Umar, exonerating him on the alleged N10 million bribe by one AbdulRashid Owolabi, in his petition to the commission,” Alhassan said.

“The letter was addressed to the secretary to government of the federation, captioned ‘RE: Investigation Report RE: N10million Bribery Allegation against the Chairman Code of Conduct Tribunal, Abuja.’ ‘With reference NO: EFCC/P/NHRU/688/V.30/99, dated 20th April, 2016.’

“The letter which was signed by Emmanuel Adegboyega Aremo, secretary to the commission reads: ‘Kindly recall our correspondence of 5th March, 2015, (reference EFCC/EC/SGF/03/56) with the above subject, please.”

‘‘We would like to reiterate the commission’s position in regard to this matter as earlier communicated to you and stated that the allegations levelled against Justice Umar were mere suspicions and consequently insufficient to successfully prosecute the offence.”

According Alhassan, “today’s clearance letter was second to the previous one sent on the March 5,2015 during the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan through the office of the then secretary to the government of the federation Chief Pius Anyim.”
