Below is a recent interview granted by the father of the late Fatai Aborode, where he blamed herdsmen for his son's murder. Why is Makinde now telling a different story?

*CHIDI TOCHI MURDERED BY THE OPPRESSION OF PEOPLE'S CONGRESS (OPC)*- Ooduwa people's Congress.
13th February, 2021 will never be forgotten by the Chidi's family, not because it was a day to the lovers Day- valantine's celebration but because it was the day they lost a very dear brother *Chidi Tochi* .Chidi Tochi was murdered by members of *Ooduwa people's Congress (OPC)* I have called them *Oppression of people's Congress* a group composed of non compos mentis because that is what they stand for.

On that faithful day 13th February 2021 at about 7.15pm, Mr chidi Tochi was returning from a wedding party in company of his friends in a car when death struck from this monstrous group. Oodua people's Congress.
There was a traffic gridlock at Temple street Bariga and Mr Tochi like every other good spirited Nigerian alighted from the car to help control traffic when this OPC boys came requesting his ordersity to keep them waiting on the queue. He politely asked them to be patient that it will get to their turn after all everybody cannot go at the same time. The guy said don't you know we are OPC and he said and so. That was all alas! They descended on him with matchets, knives and charms stabbing him serially. Even when he attempted to run they ran after him . Apparently lossing lots of blood he died at the hospital when rushed by people around. A woman who witnessed the incident said he died even before they came to carry him. Asking why he didn't get help on time, people who sells around the scene of the incident who equally gave an account of the incident said none of his friends could wait sighting the charms carried by the OPC boys they all took to their heels. It was after calm returned to the area they came to his rescue. Findings from the incident revealed that aside from the deceased Chidi Tochi three other persons were victims of this blood barthing group OPC and are hospitalised at different hospital. This is the true story of what happened on that faithful day according to an eye witness account.

Corroborating the neferous activities the OPC *refworld* an online resource media gave this *background studies* about OPC.
Background
Although banned by the Nigerian government in 1999 (Revolutionary and Dissident Movements of the World 2004, 361), the O'odua People's Congress (OPC) continues to operate in southwestern Nigeria (ibid.; Xinhua 8 Mar. 2006). The OPC, a nationalist Yoruba advocacy organization, was banned following its alleged involvement in "bloody clashes" in Lagos and surrounding states that reportedly led to "hundreds" of deaths (AFP 19 Dec. 2006; BBC 20 Dec. 2006). In 1999, the OPC split into two factions (GlobalSecurity.org 27 Apr. 2005; MIPT n.d.). The "parent" organization is led by the OPC's founder, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, and a more "militant" faction is led by Gani Adams (also referred to as Ganiyu Adams) (ibid.).
It further gave this information about the OPC:
*Treatment of OPC members by the authorities*
In 2005, Fasehun and Gani Adams were arrested and charged with belonging to an illegal organization among other offences (BBC 20 Dec. 2006; AFP 19 Dec. 2006), including illegal possession of firearms (ibid.; Xinhua 8 Mar. 2006). Four other OPC members were also arrested on similar charges (ibid.; This Day 7 Mar. 2006).

In March 2006, in an affidavit filed before the Federal High Court in Abuja concerning the trial of the six OPC members, the *Nigerian government described the OPC as "murderous, tribal and secessionist" and alleged that the group had killed and "maimed" more than 10,000 persons over the previous seven years* (This Day 7 Mar. 2006; Reuters 8 Mar. 2006; Xinhua 8 Mar. 2006). Fasehun denied the allegations (Vanguard 16 Mar. 2006). The affidavit was filed following a motion by the OPC members to have their trial transferred to southwestern Nigeria, where the organization's alleged offences occurred (ibid.; see also This Day 7 Mar. 2006); however, the Nigerian government claimed that if the trial were to be moved, persons involved in the trial, including the judge and witnesses, could be killed by OPC members (This Day 7 Mar. 2006; Reuters 8 Mar. 2006; Vanguard 16 Mar. 2006).
The senseless killing of innocent Nigerians by this monstrous group has continued unabated. The recent being the killing of Mr. Tochi Chidi a 35 year old married man and many others which are not reported. In a similar incident in 2013, at Ademolu street Bariga a street in the same neighborhood where this happened. This same group murdered one Udeme an undergraduate of Lagos state polytechnic (LASPOTEC) running away with his arm. This one too many of the evil of this OPC group. In saner climes, governments that are really incharge don't negotiate with life threatening groups like the OPC. The Government of Nigeria has continued to watch the unabated killings of innocent Nigerians by this group and has refused to do anything about it. It really shows that our government is innaundated by this group otherwise how can a proscribed group by a government still be operating and left to continue in existence.

*Refworld* further reported that the most widespread killings by the OPC took place in the context of clashes between Yoruba and other ethnic groups, which reached a peak during 2000; however, violence and human rights abuses continued in 2001 and 2002. There have also been numerous individual cases in which OPC members have killed or injured people, in the course of their vigilante work and in attempts to extort money. The OPC's activities have led them into direct confrontation with the police: there have been repeated, violent clashes between the two, with casualties on both sides. OPC members have attacked police stations on many occasions, and have killed and injured several policemen.
Part self-determination organization, part vigilante group, the OPC has defied easy classification. The usual description of the OPC as an ethnic militia, while accurate, is also misleading, in that not all the acts of violence committed by its members have been ethnically motivated. Many of the conflicts in which the OPC has got involved have been among Yoruba, and consequently victims of OPC violence have included Yoruba. The contrast between, on the one hand, the clearly articulated ideological discourse and sophisticated propaganda of some OPC leaders, and on the other hand, the mindless thuggery which characterizes many of its operations, has also posed a challenge in defining appropriate reactions to the organization. In a sense, the OPC combines aspects of two distinct types of organizations which have emerged in Nigeria: those which advocate for the specific interests of their particular ethnic, regional or religious group in a broadly political context and those which have taken on the task of fighting crime, without an explicit political agenda of their own. In addition, OPC members frequently carry out acts of intimidation and violence which appear to be motivated more by a desire to rob their victims of money or possessions, than by any ideological objective. All pointers to this group activities shows they have done more harm than good to the public.

In the foregoing, it is clear that whoever created this group meant more harm than good for Nigerians. The Nigerian government must nip the excesses of this group in the bud before its mindless descension to anarchy sets this nation ablaze. Just because some miscreants had guns knives and charms they now see themselves as Alfa and omega arrogating powers to themselves intimidating and killing at will. What a country?There was truly a country in the words of eminent writer, social critic late Emeritus professor Chinua Achebe.
Again there may be many other groups like this across the length and breadth of Nigeria operating like the OPC in the name of providing local security but in essence they are into many hideous activities like the OPC. The government as a matter of urgency should abruptly bring this groups to a miserable end before they become insurgent groups like the bokoharam which is what they are metamorphosising into. It is really unfortunate Mr Chidi Tochi died in the hands of this miscreants called OPC. Another opportunity to save the lives of Nigerians from many of this groups has presented itself, particularly the OPC whose activities has continued to attract public outcry.
According _Dietrich Bonhoeffer_ “ Silence in the face of evil is itself evil; God will not hold us guiltless, not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act”. *His Lordship Most Rev. George Jonathan Dodo, the Catholic Bishop of Zaria Diocese,* further corroborated this assertion when he said in the Daily strength devotional 10th anniversary special edition October –December, 2020 page iv *“ If we do not speak against evil, we will speak for evil when we remain silent in the face of it.Therefore, the world suffers today not because of the violence of bad people but because of the silence of good people”.*

The National Assembly both at state and federal level should beam their torch light on the activities of this group called the *Oodua people's Congress* particularly that many lives have been lost through their activities.
"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter"... Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness... *Martin Luther*
"It is pardonable when children are afraid of darkness but it's a disaster when adults are afraid of light." - *Anonymous*
A million lies can never be equal to one truth. Truth will always prevail but it's a matter of time. Chidi Tochi was murdered in cold blood. The Federal Government of Nigeria, Lagos state Government Human right groups, opinion and other interest groups, security agencies, should investigate the circumstances leading to the death of Mr. Chidi Tochi in the hands of OPC and serve justice. Ohaneze ndigbo should not be mute on this matter, they should arise and ensure that this young man killed in his prime gets Justice. Mr Chidi Tochi 35, a native of umuokwe Awommama in oru east lga Imo state is a father of three. Our father President Mohamadu Buhari should come to the aid of this young man's death and ensure he gets justice. PMB must truly protect our lives as Nigerians from this demonic, blood thirsty, blood barthing and monstrous groups like the Oodua people's Congress-OPC. He promised to secure our lives and another opportunity to do that is now. Justice must be served on this matter.
An evil to one is an evil to all. *It was someone else yesterday, it is Chidi Tochi today, it could be another tomorrow.*
*#JUSTICEFORCHIDITOCHINOW*
*#END OPC BRUTALITY NOW*
Adieu Mr Chidi Tochi.

I have seen married women cheating and nothing happens, same as married men. Absolutely nothing, they still live the same way with their husbands/wifes, nobody is monitoring anybody.

Only single men keep ranting on the internet about how they would chase out their wives immediately, in reality most married men forgive their wives.
Look around you, have all cheating wives been chased out of their matrimonial home.

P.S don't quote me again, I don't have the time for useless arguments

JUST IN: Private School Teachers salary to be paid by FG – Association

The President of the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools in Nigeria, Yomi Otubela has revealed to the general public on Monday, 13th July 2020 that the Federal government has agreed upon dialogue to pay the salaries of Private School Teachers that are being owed by their school management and are in big distress since the lockdown started in March amidst the Covid19 pandemic.

As some school management insists they cannot pay salaries since they have also not made money by way of school fees since there is nothing being done so far in school, their employees have been on the receiving end of all the bankruptcy being faced as a result of the shut down of schools.

Otubela made this statement known while speaking on TVC News on the early hours of Monday, July 13, 2020. Otubela said the Association forwarded a proposal to the Economic Sustainability Committee headed by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, for the government to assist them by going out of their way and obligations to pay the salaries of some private school teachers in the country, and they are glad to announce that approval has been granted to the proposal by the Federal Executive Council for the implementation.

”We have written to the Federal government to understand that these teachers are teaching Nigerian children and that they need to keep them and their families together during the lockdown.

So the Federal government has listened to our request. We requested that the teachers salaries in private schools should be taken over by the government during the months of the lockdown. We also requested for a single digit loan for private schools to cushion the effect of the COVID19.

We requested for support for schools that have existing loans, that they (FG) should liase on our behalf with the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN and CBN will liase with commercial banks and other financial institutions to ensure that they give them soft landing in terms of moratorium to repay and deduction in the interest loan.

The Federal government has approved that they will take over the payment of teachers salaries.

The proposal was sent to the Economic Sustainability Committee headed by the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and it was approved by the Federal Executive Council.

We are already talking to them to know the modalities for the disbursement”.

He however pointed out that it is only private schools registered under its Association that will benefit from the Federal government’s bailout.

the proprietors will hijack the money. FG should not pay because this greedy proprietors will come up with fake list of staff to swindle the FG and the money will not get to the teachers.
It's all means to enrich themselves

The Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of every company shoulder the responsibility of taking the organisations to their desired heights. They take the glory when they achieve success and also take the blame when things are not working as expected. What these CEOs earn yearly is, therefore, commensurate with their hard work.

PAY ATTENTION:

1. Ferdinand Moolman, MTN Nigeria
Ferdinand Moolman is the chief executive officer of MTN Nigeria Communications Plc, and he earned N586 million in 2019.

2. Austin Avuru, Seplat
Augustine Avuru is the co-founder and CEO of Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc. In 2019, Avuru earned N440 million.

3. Segun Agbaje, GTBank
Segun Agbaje is the CEO of Guaranty Trust Bank, and he earned N400 million in 2019. This shows an increase of N16 million from his N384 million remuneration in 2018.

4. Yaw Nsarkoh, formerly with Unilever Nigeria Plc Yaw Nsarkoh, who resigned from his position as managing director of Unilever Nigeria Plc in December 2019, earned N303 million in the year under review. He was succeeded by Carl Raymond Cruz in January 2020.

that list is not complete there is one man in Nigeria that earns more than all of them put together. His name is emmaella me.

Ezennwa:
hmm!

The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.

Soldiers, when committed to a task, can't compromise. It's unrelenting devotion to the standards of duty and courage, absolute loyalty to others, not letting the task go until it's been done.

Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war

And warriors are celebrated in the graves while cowards enjoy all their efforts. Hope that make your fucking day.

if 2% of 2.1 came for that job then it's a blue collar job. When you pay peanuts you hire monkeys. I am still reading and will share my regrets.

i have read through all the comments in this thread and have learnt from the experiences shared.
I am in the same ship with many. My regret is that
I gave in all the best in me but it failed me. No party, no babe, no relationship, didn't learn any skill, not even a member of any club just reading and hurstle to assist my parents in training myself. I traveled every week to Lagos to hurstle but men it wasn't easy combining that with academic. I wished i distributed all that energy evenly. Worst of was studying a course i never new anything about. I thought i could switch as i was told but that didn't happen. I am not fulfilled until i become a medical doctor. That's all I wanted to be whether for wealth or prestige and whether it won't make me rich, i just loved medicine. Moving forward is the ultimate in life. Balancing every work is ideal. For those in school and those intending to ; learn from our regrets and don't find yourselves in our ⛵ or ship.
Gracias.

NairaMaster1:
Thank you.

I was invited as a consultant on a recruitment procedure, I was disappointed at most of our graduates.

2,1 (2%) 2,2 (17%) third class (50%) pass (30%)

So terrible.

The interview session was boring. No ideas about what they are looking for, I jokingly asked one about BB naija and that was it.

if 2% of 2.1 came for that job then it's a blue collar job. When you pay peanuts you hire monkeys. I am still reading and will share my regrets.

Has there ever been equity in this country? Make we hear word abeg

my friend don't wake me to descension on expletive. I am making a legitimate complaint and you are running your mouth here. I don't want to abuse you just de your lane. I know you are either batch A or you n have not benefited at all. I Pray when you come on board that's if you make the list in the first place your batch will spend 6 months and you will be disengaged since there has never been equity in this country.

Dansuqi:
That is what am saying.let only batch A be disengaged for now

now we are on the same page. I don't think any batch A will complain because they got more than they deserve. The batch B should remain and go when they clock 43months and given their own devices like the batch A. That's is equity and fairness. Real justice

Dansuqi:
You don't know how to talk.I wonder if you will ever change.
The contract was for 2 years.they have even exceeded 3 years Mr.the fg has been gracious in paying them beyond the agreed two years.technically,the contract is over.I thought I liked due process

oga you are one sided what about the batch B who didn't get as much as A

abdul824:
it's was stated in their contracts that it was to be 2 years. why all the cries. let's be fair for once

we are all Nigerians and they should be fair to all. How can some people collect 40months and others 23months. in fairness govt should explain that to the batch B's. I recommend that the extra 16months should be paid in bulk to batch B. Did they start at the same time? so why disengaged them together. If the contract is for 2years, why keep batch A for 40months? They should explain the rationale behind that. Government is being unfair to batch B. Aside the money batch A got devices which the batch B didn't get. Batch B is cheated all sides

CodeTemplar:
They have spent 40 months instead of the 24 month planned. FG too is cash strapped. It isn't a easy choice.

did batch B spend 40months? Please be specific here

i feel machines are more credible than most human services
i know humans make the machines
but i believe the humans filters of most of the flaws and potential errors
compared to the vigorous months and years of pilot training
an auto-pilot engine would have done a much better job in this particular situation

Machines vs Man
Machines are better. Man takes almost a 100% precision to design machines but do not command the same precision at work.
Machines designed for a particular job does it better the man who designed it.

ok but you missed something in your teaching it is not all log1 base b that is equal to 0. You ought to state that b is not equal to 0. Just take note

Who is stupid among 3 of us here? The guy who has a phone and can afford data? Or the guy who advices him to sell his phone to feed and take care of his financial obligations or The fool is advising him to continue begging online?

i have replied you earlier you are the most stupid. How long will he spend the money and do you think he can sell the phone well besides do you know the type of phone he uses. May be it's not worth a good deal. You guys should be careful. It is not easy to beg. I hate it because it's very dehumanising. Next time just move on if you can't help it's better.

tutudesz:
Guy sell your phone simple, you be using phone, buying data and you claim to be hungry

so when he sells the phone, he will feed on the money for years abi. Some of you just type here without having a second look at your writings. You have certainly not offered any solution here. When he can organise virtual classes to make som doe for himself you are asking him to sell his phone.If you can't help just scroll up or down as some others have done rather than this trash you posted here.

Juell:
I think about private school teachers everyday they're the worst hit in this whole situation. One lesson we all have learned from this whole period is that everyone needs more than one source of income.

what about those who lost their jobs in other private firm. What happens to them?

This is what many of them especially security agencies-Army, DSS, in particular dont ever remember.Karma will always come visiting.

All are waste of time and desipation of energy though it's good to fight injustice but they will never pay even if the supreme court orders it. You see many garnishee against security agencies are never paid and nothing will happen. It could only be paid if one top oga will be given a cut from it. That way they will comply e.g from the 10m we take 3or 4m if you agree the deal is sealed. Shekinah.

You have 13 Ak 47 yet you allowed our Cowardly police to arrest you why can't you learn from Fulani Herdsmen?

POLICE THAT RARELY RESPOND TO ROBBERY DISTRESS CALLS WILL GO AND CATCH PEOPLE WITH ARMS. OYA MAKE UNA COME CATCH NIGER DELTA MILITANTS. TRY ANOTHER LIE
