President Bola Tinubu has been named a finalist for the 2024 ‘corrupt person of the year’ in a list compiled by the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). Established in 2012 by the OCCRP, the ironic honour highlights individuals extensively involved in organised crime and corruption. The latest compilation was published on Tuesday. The OCCRP said Tinubu was nominated by readers, journalists, person of the year judges, and others in the project’s global network. In May 2023 , an OCCRP investigation found that Tinubu, president-elect at the time, was linked to 20 properties his associates bought in the United Kingdom (UK) when he was serving as governor of Lagos. According to the report, 17 of the properties were bought by Oladipo Eludoyin, Tinubu’s associate and a director of Aranda Overseas Corp., between 2004 and 2007. Some 24 hours before the report was published, a Bloomberg investigation exposed that Seyi, Tinubu’s son, is the main shareholder of Aranda Overseas Corp.—an offshore company he used in purchasing a $10.8 million property under probe by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The OCCRP said a year after the president forfeited $460,000 to the US government in 1993 as proceeds of narcotics trafficking, Abeeb Holdings Limited, an offshore company registered in Gibraltar with Tinubu as the beneficial owner, bought Flat 9 at 96-100 New Cavendish Street in London. The OCCRP said it later found that Eludoyin is also the beneficial owner of 17 UK properties through three offshore companies registered in the British Virgin Islands. The organization added that Babatunde Fashola, Tinubu’s former aide and successor, and Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the incumbent governor of Lagos, also had a hand in controlling Aranda Overseas Corp.’s internal affairs. Court documents from a Chicago case had claimed that in the early 1990s, Tinubu was linked to bank accounts allegedly used to launder money for a heroin ring in Chicago. However, the president has dismissed all allegations and has instead been vocal about the need for African leaders to collaborate and tackle the “continental” challenge. Besides Tinubu, Kenyan President William Ruto is also named a finalist. The OCCRP said an unprecedented number of people wrote in to nominate Ruto for “Person of the Year” in organised crime and corruption. The comments submitted with the nominations were full of frustration and despair, the OCCRP said. A special ‘Lifetime non-achievement award’ was given to Teodoro Mbasogo, Equatorial Guinea’s president and one of the longest-serving dictators in the world. “Instead of developing the country into a model for Africa, he has squandered its natural resources, living an obscenely lavish lifestyle while the rest of the population suffers in poverty,” the report said. Joko Widodo, former president of Indonesia; Sheikh Hasina, former prime minister of Bangladesh; and Gautam Adani, an Indian businessman, were also listed as finalists. SYRIA’S AL-ASSAD NAMED WINNER The OCCRP named ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as the 2024 corrupt person of the year. Al-Assad was said to have led his country’s production and distribution of Captagon, a highly addictive street drug, earning billions of dollars to operate prisons and maintain his brutal authoritarian rule. The OCCRP said the award is given to the person who has done “the most to wreak havoc around the world through organised crime and corruption”. The report said al-Assad created chaos for Syrians and the broader region. Past winners include Russian President Vladimir Putin; María Consuelo Porras, Guatemala’s attorney general; Jair Bolsonaro, former president of Brazil; and the Romanian parliament. https://www.thecable.ng/tinubu-named-finalist-in-occrps-2024-list-of-organised-crime-and-corruption/ |
https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/Screenshot_20241230_091741_Chrome_1735550206.jpg Chris Brown's December concert in South Africa has been trending and it has now emerged that a photo he took with a female fan has led to marital crisis. A 42-year-old man in Lusaka is said to have filed for divorce after his wife, 34, took a controversial photograph with American R&B superstar Chris Brown. The photo, taken during a “meet and greet” session after Brown’s recent concert at FNB Stadium in South Africa, angered the husband. According to court documents filed in Lusaka, the husband claims that the photograph, which shows Chris Brown planting a kiss on his wife’sxcheek, is disrespectful and has brought irreparable damage to their marriage. He described the image as “demeaning” and argued that his wife’s actions were inappropriate for a married woman. The wife attended Chris Brown’s highly publicized concert at the FNB Stadium last weekend, which included an exclusive VIP “meet and greet” package for fans. As part of the experience, fans could interact with the star, take photos, and share memorable moments. The now-viral photo shows Chris Brown kissing the woman on her cheek while she smiles at the camera. The image was later shared on social media platforms, where it gained significant attention and sparked mixed reactions. In his divorce petition, the husband stated that his wife’s actions amounted to a breach of trust and marital vows. He reportedly confronted her upon her return from South Africa, but she allegedly dismissed his concerns, arguing that the photo was harmless and part of the event package. “My wife acted in a manner unbecoming of a married woman. This picture has embarrassed me publicly and caused emotional distress,” the husband told the court. The wife, however, has defended her actions, arguing that the kiss was not romantic and should not be taken out of context. She maintained that it was a lighthearted moment during a fan interaction and that she never intended to disrespect her husband. She also accused her husband of overreacting and using the incident as an excuse for underlying issues in their marriage. The case has sparked widespread debate on social media, with opinions divided. Some have sided with the husband, arguing that the photo crossed boundaries for a married woman. Others have said the meet-and-greet photo was harmless and should not lead to divorce. https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2024/12/zambian-man-files-for-divorce-from-wife-over-photo-of-chris-brown-kissing-her-cheek.html |
Alleged missing N180 million: It’s a prank. VeryDarkMan is renovating a school in Jos - Singer Dammy Krane says Singer, Dammy Krane has stated that social critic, Very Dark Man, is joking with claims that N180 million was diverted from the NGO account he created in October this year. VDM shocked Nigerians on Friday, December 27 when he released a video claiming hackers had breached his NGO website and moved N180m leaving only N20 million. The news shocked many Nigerians who took to social media to slam him. However, in a post shared on his Instagram page this evening, Dammy Krane claimed that VDM is renovating a school in Jos, and was only joking with the story of stolen funds. Also, a Human Rights activist, Omotayo Williams, claimed the man VDM showed in his video as an officer accompanying him to Jos is a well- known member of the Kogi State Taxi Taskforce.

He mentioned he and one of the police officers were on their way to Jos. He added that his NGO account now has only N20m. “I would be honest with you guys. For the past few days, I have not been myself. Somebody hacked into the NGO website and I don't know how they did it. N180 million is missing. Thankfully, we’ve tracked the person, and we are on our way to Jos. They have arrested one. The account has been put on PND (Post No Debit). The account now has N20 million.'' he said Otse further explained that he had to shut down the NGO’s app for maintenance to prevent further breaches and promised to provide updates on the situation. Recall that on October 14, 2024, he launched the Martins Vincent Otse Initiative and in 24 hours, he received a donation of N33 million from well- meaning Nigerians.

A 40-year-old man, Joshua Nwafor, has allegedly k!lled his wife, Charity Nwafor, over a tuber of yam in Ebonyi State. The incident occurred on December 16, 2024, in Nsokkara, Ezza South Local Government Area of the state, where the couple lived. While Joshua hails from the community, Charity was a native of Awkuzu, Onicha Local Government Area of the state. The couple had been married for 17 years and had children. An eyewitness told Daily Sun that Joshua brought out a yam to be cooked for the entire family, but Charity told him she didn’t want to eat cooked yam, preferring a roasted one, which caused a disagreement between them. “The man brought out yam to be cooked for the entire family to eat, and the wife told him that she was not going to eat the cooked one, that she preferred roasted one, and went ahead to roast the yam," the source said. “As a result, the man got angry and dragged her into the room, locked the door, and beat her till she gave up the ghost. “I am one of the advocates for walking out of a marriage instead of dying in such a marriage. Life has no duplicate. No matter how old that marriage is, when it becomes life-threatening, please find your way. Leave very fast and never mind what people would say,” the eyewitness added. The spokesperson of the State Police Command, DSP Joshua Ukandu, condemned the tragic incident. “This is sad. Let me confirm if it’s being handled by the command, but rest assured that the command will conduct a thorough investigation and charge whoever is found wanting," he stated. https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/n3_1734937430.jpg https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/n2_1734937832.jpg https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/n4_1734937845.jpg https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/n5_1734938027.jpg https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2024/12/man-beats-his-wife-to-d3ath-over-yam-in-ebonyi-2.html |

A mysterious unexplained illness tagged the "dancing disease" has reportedly left patients shaking uncontrollably and is spreading across Uganda in a case that has left doctors baffled. https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/Screenshot_20241220_070032_Chrome_1734674601.jpg The disease which locals are referring to as Dinga Dinga, translating to "shaking like dancing", has already affected around 300 people, mostly women and girls, according to health officials. The puzzling illness, confirmed in the Bundibugyo district in Uganda, causes fever and excessive body shaking which makes walking difficult to those that are suffering with Dinga Dinga. Doctor Kiyita Christopher, the district health officer, informed local media that no instances had been recorded in nearby areas outside of the Bundibugyo region and that samples had been submitted to the health ministry for analysis. The doctor also reassured that there has been no fatalities reported as a result of the disease, and that the illness is usually treatable with antibiotics.y Many patients have tried herbal remedies in an attempt to counter their symptoms, but this has been strongly discouraged by the health professional. "There is no scientific evidence that herbal medicine can treat this disease," he said. "We are using specific treatments, and patients usually recover within a week. "I urge locals to seek treatment from health facilities within the district," he added. Christopher told Ugandan newspaper, Monitor, that the mysterious illness was first reported in early 2023 and remains under investigation by health laboratories. One patient, Patience Katusiime, recalled her experience with the illness, noting that her body kept shaking uncontrollably, despite feeling paralysed. "I felt weak and got paralysed, with my bodyt shaking uncontrollably whenever I tried to walk," she said. “It was very disturbing. I was taken to Bundibugyo Hospital for treatment, and thank God, I am now fine.” Watch the video below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEN5ipiZiFo |

https://global.ariseplay.com/amg/www.thisdaylive.com/uploads/Imo-Ugochinyere.jpg Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the member representing Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo State and spokesman of the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), has been expelled from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect. In a statement issued on Friday, December 6, Imo PDP Publicity Secretary, Lancelot Obiak, confirmed the expulsion, citing gross indiscipline, insubordination, and anti-party activities as the reasons. “The expulsion was conveyed in a letter by the Ideato LGA chapter of the party dated December 5, 2024, and signed by the LGA Chairman, Hon. ThankGod Okeke, and the Secretary, Onyebuchi Umeh, which they addressed to the State Chairman,” the statement read. It further noted that the expulsion followed a report by the party’s disciplinary committee dated November 27, 2024. The committee investigated misconduct charges against Ugochinyere in accordance with Section 57 (1-4) of the PDP constitution 2017 as amended. “The lawmaker had been suspended at his Umuopia/Umukegwu ward on October 14, 2024, after failing to honour the invitation to appear before the ward Executive Committee on October 5, 2024, to answer to allegations of disciplinary offences, and ignoring reminders and further invitation sent to him on October 7, 2024,” the statement added. The party emphasized that the Ideato North LGA Executive Committee unanimously adopted the disciplinary committee’s report during a meeting on December 5, 2024. “In light of this, Hon. Imo Ugochinyere Ikeagwonu is hereby expelled from the party (PDP) with immediate effect, and he ceases to be a member of the Peoples Democratic Party in Umuopia/Umukegwu ward of Ideato North LGA,” the letter stated. The PDP outlined several violations by Ugochinyere, including “deliberate failure to attend meetings and participate in party activities, unauthorized publicity of internal disputes, and the formation of parallel executive structures at the ward, LGA, and national levels, all of which breach the party’s constitution.” Additionally, he was accused of making “derogatory and provocative public statements against the party and some of its national leaders, an action that brought the party to public ridicule.” https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2024/12/pdp-expels-house-of-reps-member-ugochinyere-over-gross-indiscipline-2.html |

Mixed reactions trail fixed bride price of N5000 and four basins of cooked butter beans for Eggon women in Nasarawa state Mixed reactions have continued to trail the harmonised bride price of the people of Eggon ethnic group in Nasarawa State. The Aren Eggon, HRH Justice Ahmed Ubangari Alaku (Rtd) pegged N5,000 as the bride price with four basins of traditional butter beans known as Ebyekpyen as the maximum requirements to be met by the groom in order to marry an Eggon lady. Aren Eggon, who is the paramount ruler of the Eggon people worldwide, made the pronouncement on May 25, 2024, at his palace in Nassarawa Eggon Local Government Area. The royal father explained that the action was in response to the outcry from many quarters, complaining about the exorbitant requirements often placed on young men intending to marry Eggon ladies. “We thank Almighty God for what has happened today about these two events; the issue of bride price in Eggon land and the little crises that have affected our growing children. These two issues have been pending for a long time and I am particularly happy that what has been bothering our local communities has come, particularly the issue of bride price in Eggon land. And I am sure you have seen the reaction from the crowd," he said. "It is an issue that has been affecting the youth, both the female and male alike. You see them littering around because they cannot pay the dowries. So exorbitant. During our days, if I should tell you how much I paid my father-in-law, you will be shocked “And we don’t want these children to remain at home. Let them marry in good time so they can bring children in good time. It is not good to wait till when you are 50 (years old) before you get married and he starts producing children. By the time these children are growing, he is also getting older. The training will not be there. I think that is the essence of what we have done. Train these children in good time so they can become good citizens. “I told them I have done my own. What is left is for the parents of the children. If they go by this, the happier the lots of all of us. If they refuse it, the children will remain at home with them, which is the problem we are trying to avoid. I am now using this opportunity to call on to them to abide by this conventional agreement which has been reached this morning so that it becomes something for the good of Eggon land," the traditional ruler added. The presentation of the butter bean is very significant as it validates the marriage between the two couples. The bride's family accepts or rejects the butter beans from the groom's family as a sign of their approval or disapproval of the marriage. The butter bean is specially prepared with Beni seed and lots of palm oil that can be seen on the surface. In a Facebook post on Friday, December 6, some people expressed their approval of the fixed bride price while others insisted that the requirements are still too high.

https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/1_1733252524.png Debbie Nelson, the mother of rapper Eminem, has d!ed at the age of 69. A rep for Eminem confirmed that Nelson d!ed in the evening on Monday, Dec. 2, in St. Joseph, Missouri, from complications related to lung cancer. News of her illness was first reported by multiple outlets in September. Nelson was 16 when she married Eminem's father, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. Two years later, she welcomed the "Lose Yourself" rapper in 1972. Eminem, 52, and his mother Debbie Nelson had a rocky relationship throughout his life. He apparently called her out in his 2002 song "Cleanin' Out My Closet," which led to Nelson suing her son for $11 million for defamation. While the judge ruled in her favor, Nelson was only granted $25,000 of the $11 million dollars she asked for. Ultimately, she was only entitled to about $1,600 after lawyer fees. Nelson considered reconciling with Eminem in a 2008 interview with The Village Voice. "There’s hope for everybody," she said at the time. "It’s a matter of just basically swallowing your pride. It’s like a cashed check. It’s over, it’s done. You need to move on.” In 2013 when the rapper released "Headlights," fans speculated that it was his apologizing to Nelson. "And I’m mad I didn’t get the chance to thank you for being my mom and my dad," he sings in one part of the song. "So Mom, please accept this as a tribute I wrote on this jet." As for Debbie Nelson, she celebrated her son from afar in recent years. When he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, she congratulated him online. "Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the Hall of Fame," she said in a since-deleted video. "I love you very much. I knew you'd get there. It's been a long ride," added Nelson at the time. "I'm very, very proud of you." Eminem's estranged father died in 2019 at 67. Along with Eminem, Debbie Nelson is survived by son Nathan Mathers. https://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2024/12/eminems-mother-debbie-nelson-des-at-69-after-cancer-battle-2.html |
The General Council of the World Trade Organisation has reappointed Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala for a second term as its Director- General. Her new four-year tenure is set to begin on September 1, 2025. In a statement issued on Friday by the organisation, Okonjo-Iweala expressed gratitude to the WTO’s 166 member nations for their continued trust and support. “I am deeply honoured by the trust and support of the WTO General Council and its 166 Members. It is a privilege to continue serving as Director-General for a second four-year term,” she said. Reflecting on her first term, the former Nigerian finance minister underscored the WTO’s crucial role in addressing global challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts, and geopolitical tensions. She remarked, “In recent years, the WTO has played a vital role in helping Members navigate pressing global challenges, including the pandemic, conflict, and heightened geopolitical tensions.
