So why exactly did the chicken cross the road? A few of your celebrated personalities gives you the answer...
AKPOS: The chicken crossed the road because the road cannot cross the chicken.
MUHAMMADU BUHARI: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road or not. The chicken is either against us or for us. There is no middle ground here.
BILL GATES: I witnessed e-Chicken2003, which did not only cross roads, but laid eggs, filed your important documents, and balanced your checkbook and internet explorer which is an integral part of e-Chicken.
MARTIN LUTHER KING JR: I envision a world where all chickens will be free to cross roads without having their motives called into question.

AKPOS GRANDFATHER: In my days, we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.
A TYPICAL NIGERIAN: Why are you asking me why the chicken crossed the road? Abeg o, I don't want wahala! I am innocent.
GOODLUCK JONATHAN: The chicken is so happy with her brand new Made In Nigeria Innoson Motor and constant power supply that she crossed the road to vote for me again.
D-BANJ: To Scream I'm D-Banj. That what most Chickens call me
FEMI FALANA: Why won't the chicken cross the road? When there is no light in her house. No fuel in her car! No food in her stomach! No job to do! Armed robbers are after her eggs, the schools are closed, why won’t it cross to the other side?
PATRICK OBAHIAGBON: The question strikes to mind a perpendicularity of oblivious occurrences. The rationale for the crawling species of the henfolk for advancing across the broadway to the obvious greener side, portray a phantasmagoric allegory in my homosapious mind, that there is a reason. The metaphoric proposition may be that it is going to cast its vote for APC and......See more at: http://www.mcebisco.com/2015/11/why-did-chicken-cross-road.html

According to an eyewitness who sent in these photos:
“While on my way to work, people were gathered around a beauty shop. It was the case of a girl who should be in her late 20s lying in front of a shop. Seems she was r@ped judging from the way her p@nt was lose on her left lap. Some people say she might be mad due to the rubbish around her. The owner of the store aint out to say whether it is the waste from her shop.

The Sun reports that Chinyere fled her parents home over a year ago and got pregnant by her boyfriend named Nonso Namba. When she gave birth to her baby, she sold him to the midwife for N50,000 who in turn a sold him to a 51-year-old member of the syndicate, Mrs. Rose Ekewe.

Trouble started after Chinyere returned home to her parents who welcomed her. She told them of a baby she had but later died. After much interrogation, Chinyere confessed to her parents that she gave her son to a nurse at the hospital where she gave birth. The police was contacted and the midwife, her colleague Rose Ezekwe and Chinyere's boyfriend were arrested and have been in detention.

When interrogated, the midwife said she decided to help Chinyere after she claimed she was a destitute and needed a home to keep the child once he was born. Upon delivery,she took Chinyere and the new born child to the house of her friend, Mrs. Ekewe who was living alone in Satellite town. She claimed that it was her friend who gave N50,000 to the Chinyere to assist her since she was a - See more at: http://www.mcebisco.com/2015/11/see-lady-who-sold-day-old-baby-for.html

Balikisu Omolabake Temitope Lamina, a graduate who was observing the mandatory one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, has died in a traffic accident.

The young woman was said to have been returning to school after travelling to rejoice with her family on the safe return of her mother from the holy land for this year’s pilgrimage, where hundreds were killed in various disasters.

The Nation reports that her father, Lateef Lamina, a senior sales executive officer with New Telegraph newspaper, could not hold back tears while narrating his last moments with his late daughter whom he referred to as his ‘hope’.

He said: “My hope is dashed.”

“Balikisu, my brilliant, promising and talented daughter who had passion for broadcasting is gone. The mother travelled to Mecca and came back successfully. When she came back, we were all happy that she survived the misfortune that happened during the pilgrimage. She (my late daughter) decided to come home to see her.

Tragedy struck on Saturday in Orisha Community, Magodo, Isheri area of Lagos State, after a mudslide hit a three bed-roomed flat, killing all the four children in the house.

SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that the incident happened around 4.50am on Ottun Araromi Street, while the victims were sleeping in their rooms.

They were identified as Sylva, 23; Sayo, 15; Clinton, 13; and Endurance, 8.

Our correspondent learnt that there had been a downpour over the night till the early hours of Saturday.
Their father, Godwin Odia, who is attached to the Mobile Police Force, the combat arm of the Nigeria Police, was said to have woken up around 3am to take his bath and had stepped into the parlour when the mudslide hit the children’s room.

They were said to have been buried alive by the mud before rescue officials from the state and the Federal Governments arrived at the scene to recover their bodies.

Fifty-year-old Odia said his children would not have died if the mudslide happened during the week when they would have gone to school.

He said, “By 3am, I wake up every day to prepare for work. That is the time I also wake them up. But since today is Saturday, I did not bother to do that. I still saw them sleeping as I prepared myself for
work.

“I was in the parlour when I heard a loud noise. My four children just died like that. God, what is my offence? What did I do wrong? Four children in one day?! I am supposed to - Click Here To See More>>>>http://www.mcebisco.com/2015/11/very-shock-news-policeman-loses-4.html

Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency have been accused of drowning a 32-year-old man who is a graduate of Law, Dapo Olasore, in the Agboyi, Alapere area of Lagos.

The incident happened on Sunday as operatives who came in vans without number plates, raided the area.

Olasore, aka Omopo, was about boarding a canoe to a neighbouring community to see a relative, when the officials stormed the community.
They were said to have shot sporadically into the air, sending frightened residents fleeing in different directions.


According to PUNCH, Olasore, who was by the riverside, was said to have been held by the trousers by the NDLEA men; and in a bid to free himself, fell into the water.

A boatman, who attempted to save him, was said to have been threatened with guns, leading to the death of the victim.

When PUNCH visited the community, it observed a crowd of residents and motorcyclists in the area, who had got wind of the news, at the riverside.

It was learnt that the victim, who graduated from a university in Ondo State, joined the National Union of Road Transport Workers in 2014, after he could not get a job.

His family was said to be resident in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

A witness and friend of the victim, Tosin Oshin, said the NDLEA officials arrived around 10.45am.

He said, “It happened around 10.45am. We suddenly saw two white vehicles in our community. They began shooting into the air and everybody started running helter-skelter.

“They went to the riverside, where Omopo (Olasore) was about boarding a canoe. As Omopo saw one of them, he wanted to run like other people, but the officers held him. In the struggle to free himself, he fell into the river.

“A boat operator, who was about to rescue him, was threatened with guns. Omopo raised his hand and asked for help, but they didn’t help him.”

Oshin said immediately the incident happened, the officials fled the community with two other men.

The boat operator, Dayo Seun, said before the victim finally drowned, he made an attempt to rescue him, but the officials prevented him.

He said, “I was on the other side of the river when I saw the man fall inside the river. I quickly paddled my canoe to the place he fell into to rescue him, but they pointed their guns at me, and asked me to go back.”

A resident, Omolara Adekunle, said the anti-narcotics officials were always harassing residents, adding that after making arrests, they usually collected about - See more at: http://www.mcebisco.com/2015/09/too-bad-graduate-dies-in-river-during.html

Akib Abiola is a frontline activist and a protege of Moshood Abiola, the winner of the annulled 1993 Presidential Election. He was one of the founding members of the defunct National Democratic Coalition, NADECO. In this interview, Mr. Akib spoke to Mc Ebisco about how Jonathan’s re-election campaign was torpedoed by those closest to him and how, at a point during the campaign, he trusted no one except his wife.

Mr Akib also described how the former president failed to take action even when it was clear that campaign funds were being stolen.

He also spoke about his relationship with Tinubu and how Mr. Tinubu betrayed members of NADECO and US-Nigeria relations.


PT: Buhari recently visited the United States to seek assistance of the US government in the fight against Boko Haram. The United States has previously placed an embargo on the sales of arms to Nigerian due to allegations of human rights abuses by our military. As a foremost activist based the US what do you think the Nigerian government needs to do to secure more assistance and to further strengthen bilateral relationship with the US?

Akib: There is a long history of great relationship between the U.S and Nigeria. The U.S. government has always been interested in the security and development of Nigeria. The mutual respect and bilateral interests can be traced back to the period following our independence. In fact, our first Prime Minister Alhaji Tafa Balewa was one of the first world leaders to be invited to the U.S and given the honour to address the joint session of the U.S. Congress which consists the Congress and the Senate. This was an honour bestowed on our country and our leaders because of our promises, potential and resources way before that honour was extended to Sadat of Egypt, Netanyahu of Israel or Blair of U.K.

I was very excited to see the level of respect accorded President Buhari during his visit by President Obama and his officials. President Buhari was welcome warmly everywhere by the Americans and its government officials. We have not seen such treatment of our President since Obasanjo left office. For whatever reason, President Jonathan never nourished the good relationship that President Obasanjo built with the American government and the American people. Some of the development in Atlanta Georgia and the successes of some of our fellow Nigerians in Atlanta and other cities can be attributed to the great relationship that Obasanjo built with the U.S. government and the Americans. The respect and the goodwill that they have for our leader and our country was passed to most Nigerian professionals in various American cities. U.S. has always been a great partner with Nigeria in fighting terrorism and civil wars in West Africa. Nigerian Army and its Generals have always been one of the finest in the U.N. peace keeping force. I was really shocked when I heard about the abuses levied against our Army and the Generals. Personally, I think some of the accusations were exaggerated and can be attributed to lack of good relationship between Jonathan and Obama.

As the world leader on war against terror, there is absolutely no reason for U.S. not to support Nigeria in our war against Boko Haram. President Buhari said all the right things while visiting the U.S except the speech where he blamed the Leahy’s Act for our failure in the war against Boko Haram. However, with the New Service Chiefs and the restructuring of the Security agencies and the mutual respect between the two countries, I believe the U.S. will soon remove its arms embargo on - See more at: http://www.mcebisco.com/2015/09/interview-how-members-of-jonathans.html

A user in Nigeria’s biggest forum, Nairaland, with the moniker – Osile2012 have compiled ten businesses he thinks will be negatively affected by the incoming government of President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.

1. Real Estate: Corruption influenced the high rise in the value of property in Nigeria. An area is mapped out and once politicians pick interest in the area, the value of property rises rapidly for no reason. Land that is worth 1.5m, the moment a politician comes and buys for 10m and starts building a mansion, every other land owner in the area starts selling from 10m upwards.The same goes to buildings. A politician sees a house he or she likes, the seller increases the price by 10 and the politician buys. Then every other property around the area is on the rise.As the new administration takes over,politicians will reduce their spending.They will now be more interested in managing their loot wisely and no more buying properties anyhow for themselves and their girl friends, because they wont have access to funds to steal. This will affect the sales of property, as there will be more properties for sale and less buyers. Even the politicians who are the target of estate investors will have to sell theirs to maintain their life style. Remember they have drivers, cooks, security and kids who are studying abroad. People who have raw cash, will buy properties for less than the actual value. A house that is selling for 20m can be bought for 10m. Because the true value of the land in those areas will surface. When you call unimaginable prices for properties, even the politicians will ignore you.
2. Contractors: The budget of the ministry of works has been slashed by more than 50%. This means that fewer roads and houses will be built. Maintenance will even be reduced as the budget would hardly pay salaries . So contractors will have to find an alternative source of funding .
3. Interior decor and furniture: As politicians invest less in property and govt invest less in housing, there will be less houses to furnish. Those importing expensive furniture that they sell to govt at inflated prices will reduce the stock they order, before they end up using it themselves...Read below:http://mcebisco..com/2015/05/10-businesses-that-buhari-government.html

Norwegian Defence Chief, Haakon Bruun-Hansen, an admiral, has apologised to the country’s lawmakers for the sale of a fleet of a naval battleships and combat boats to a former Niger Delta militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo.

He was the leader of one of the militias in the Niger Delta that led a devastating campaign of violence against the Nigerian state for years until he was awarded a multi-billion pipeline protection contract by the out-going Goodluck Jonathan administration as part of an amnesty deal with militants.

After surrendering "some" of his arms, Tompolo used the cover of the Nigerian Presidency to buy at least six decommissioned battleships....Read more:http://mcebisco..com/2015/05/we-regret-selling-warships-to-ex-niger.html

The Nigerian military have arrested the man who specialises in supplying food and fuel to the Boko Haram insurgents who have killed many and rendered millions homeless in North East Nigeria.

The culprit, the military said, was arrested on Sunday morning in Daban Shata, in the suburbs of Baga, Borno State’s third largest community.
The arrest and interrogation of this man may lead to answers to questions that have been asked on how the insurgents were able to fuel their convoy of vehicles and motorcycles with which they carried out their attacks with impunity.
The Defence Headquarters spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, in a statement said the supplier, wanted by the military, was eventually nabbed in the early hours of Sunday. He said the man is currently undergoing interrogation as the military continues its offensive against the heartless insurgents....Click here to the Man>>>http://mcebisco..com/2015/05/the-man-who-gives-boko-haram-food-fuel.html
