Where did they say masked? What is your gain in supporting the killer herdsmens please ? Why must you hide their crimes

The driver of the deceased, Tayo Ogundare while narrating the incident said some masked men came out from the bush to attack their vehicle.

He added that they shot their vehicle on the expressway just after the Ore toll gate. He said his boss died at the hospital due to gun shot injuries.

“We had a stop over to by soft drinks at Ore. We were attacked Ore toll gate by some masked men who emerged from the bush.

“At this point, madam asked me to reverse which I did.

“They started shooting at us and other vehicles.

“In the process my boss was hit by bullets. Some of us in the vehicle escaped. We later rushed her to the hospital where she gave up the ghost” he stated.

COZA is beginning to sound cozy

Balarabe Musa, a former governor of old Kaduna, said former presidents may have shunned the Democracy Day celebrations because of fear - Musa recalled how President Buhari vowed to name and shame all those behind massive corruption in the country - The elder statesman added that the former presidents could have shunned the event because they are not comfortable with Buhari's style Balarabe Musa, an elder statesman in Nigeria, has identified fear as one of the reasons former presidents of the country may have shunned the June 12, democracy day celebrations held recently. Musa, a former governor of old Kaduna state, said in an interview with Vanguard that the former presidents may have been frightened by the way President Muhammadu Buhari went about the celebrations and what he said two days to the event. The politician, who, however, said he was not excited with the speech the president presented during the ceremony, added that the former presidents could be afraid that they might be indicted if Buhari decides to investigate the circumstances that led to the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election and other issues surrounding it. “Well, it could be for two reasons. First, President Buhari may have threatened them though he does not have the capacity to carry it out. “For instance, if he takes the recognition of June 12, further by investigating it, they could be afraid because they may be involved in the annulment. It was a military affair and most of them held sensitive positions then that could implicate them. “Secondly, two days before June 12, celebration, President Buhari made a very vital statement. He said his government would name and shame all those behind the disabling level of corruption, stealing and waste of resources,” he said. The former governor argued that former presidents were responsible for the disabling level of corruption the country is in. He added: “Military brought the disabling level of corruption since they took over and it has affected governance so they are afraid of Buhari. He could deal with them for being behind this disabling level of corruption.” He added that a third reason could be that the former presidents are not happy with the administration of President Buhari and, as a result, do not want to identify with him. Legit.ng earlier reported that foremost playwright and Nobel Prize winner, Prof Wole Soyinka, stated that he would not participate in the June 12 democracy day celebrations as he condemned the conduct of the 2019 elections in an essay made available to newsmen.

Fun fact:

Who canceled the plan to make Nigeria a member of the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) as a Military Head of State?

Yes, Buhari did. He did on the ground that Nigeria was a secular country.

IBB came and proceeded to register us as a member of the OIC.

The Media became blind.

CAN became blind.

Every President since IBB continued in that direction. The last time our President attended the meeting of the OIC was when GEJ attended the one that held in Egypt.

The Media outlets were still blind.

CAN's President was Ayo Oritsejafor and he was one of the closest people to GEJ, and yet CAN remained blind. They did not see an Islamization agenda.

But today they want to tell you that Buhari's attendance is unconstitutional.

Your job is to ask them to tell you at what point it became unconstitutional.

Your job as a citizen is to ask them why they've been blind to this Islamization agenda for nearly 30 years.

Your job is to ask them why they have conveniently forgotten that this Buhari is the same person who tried to prevent Nigeria from joining the OIC.

Horror in the kidnappers’ den
It took me a long time of reflections to put this piece together. First, let me thank my husband for the emotional support, the counselling and for his belief in the creator of heaven and earth which we call God or Allah.
The journey began in Auchi. We had travelled to Akure on a Monday, stayed with my husband’s relations in the outskirt of this ancient town. In the evening of Monday, we visited the palace for dinner, my husband being a close friend to son of the King.
On Tuesday, we left for Ibadan, via the Akure-Ilesa road. Our plan was that after attending the wedding in Auchi, we would travel with (my husband) to Lagos, stay for few weeks before returning abroad where I had lived with my husband and children for more than a decade. We were in the car of a close family friend, an accountant who gave his time and energy for our comfort.

We were five in the car, myself, my husband, our daughter, a lady who is my husband’s niece who had joined us in Akure with the hope of travelling with us to Lagos.
The driver accountant maintained a normal speed. He drove professionally. That gave me a lot of comfort and I felt I could find time to sleep a bit. My daughter was next to me, just 9. She was coming to Nigeria with me for the second time.
Shortly after the Ijare junction, the driver felt the wagon’s tires ruptured and decided to pack the car with the hope of changing the tires.

It was like a film. In a jiffy, motley crowd of armed men in military uniform came out of the bush. They fired at the boot of the car. Ahead of us, five of them came out of the bush, another two came from the rear. My daughter screamed: “Mummy, daddy, what’s going on”. There was no time to say a word. They marched us through into the bush, firing into the sky. They hit me on my chest, hit my daughter on her head, blood oozed. At this time, it was better to kill me. I shouted at one of the armed men. His response was hell. He went straight for my private part, tore my dress with his gun. The others ripped my dresses. I was left with my undies. My husband and my daughter started crying. Two of them dug their teeth into my breasts.
While attending a secondary school in Adamawa, I had lived with some Fulani, so I understand a few Fulani words. I started pleading, at least for my daughter. To my shock, at gun point, they removed the dress of my little girl, one of them carried her on his head as my baby struggled, shouting “Daddy, mummy, what’s going on. Help me.”

I could not help myself. We were marched for 9 hours. I was half naked. My daughter was totally naked. A felt her tears was like a stream of blood on her cheek. Our phones had been seized. We ended up in an ungoverned region in the thick of the forest. We met a well organized group.
There were some kidnapped victims, I saw two women, two ladies and three men. There were some people with their legs chained to trees. They were as if half dead. We were separated. I was separated from my husband. My daughter was taken away. I only heard her scream intermittently. I did not know what they were doing to her.
These men, now about two dozen had a full kitchen, they had a huge camp and a traditional medical team. But the camps appear isolated from each other. We heard noises afar indicating it might be nuclear settlements of camps. Right in my presence, I saw them pack the remains of a woman. They took her and buried her few meters away from us. She had tribal marks.
I cannot describe the agony of 6 days in captivity in this little piece. I cannot talk about how they asked my husband to choose between myself being raped or that his daughter be raped. My husband broke down in uncontrollable tears. One of them hit him saying “Yoruba bastard, you dey cry. Idiot.”
They now gave him the option that he should be raped by one homosexual among them. My husband is a devout Muslim. He told them homosexual and rape of any kind was against Islam. They hit him with the butt of AK 47: “What do you know about Islam?”
You can imagine, you are being asked to choose between being raped by a homosexual, your daughter, just nine years old, or your wife being raped? They gave the forth option, if you fail to choose, they would rape my daughter, rape my husband and rape me.
I made myself the sacrificial lamb. My husband begged, saying they should name their price. One of them asked him to bend down. Three beastly criminals sat on his back, jumping until he was too weak to stand. I was not allowed to put on any additional cloth on my body for 24 hours. The rain fell once. I became the relic and a sexual museum for the armed men who in turn addressed me and asked questions about my financial standing. New Fulani men joined the camp. They organized military training for the new Fulani men that came, teaching them how to shoot and walk through circles of glowing fire.
We were not released until after 6 days. We had to walk the same zik-zag journey back to the main road, our eyes blindfolded. During the negotiation to pay, they said the money was not for them alone that they had to settle “those who send us”. For me, I see a thriving, organized crime supported by powerful political interests.
Now, I do not think we were released to freedom after paying a whopping 8 million naira. I do not think we can ever be free, we can never be free, from the anguish, the psychological trauma, the nightmares we suffered, the occasional fits of our daughter, her waking up midnight behaving strangely, her asking the same question over and over: “Mummy, mummy, why?. Why.?” I do not have any answer.
In my life, I have never passed through a torture chamber like this. I do not think any society should let this happen. I do not know the fate of those we met, and about 7 other people brought during the 6 days we were in captivity. What I saw was a nation that has collapsed but pretends she lives, a people on life support. Crime is not restricted to Fulani people alone. We have Yoruba criminals. But I don’t Yoruba criminals are not as beastly. These elements are savages. I can’t imagine Yoruba thieves going to Sokoto or Maiduguri to kidnap Fulani people and keep them in their own bushes. It gives me mental torture that this is happening and some fools are even trying to justify or look for excuses.
Well, as a devout Muslim, myself and my family have taken solace in Allah, not the Nigerian police, not the Army, not the governments. We have taken our faith the way it came. I thank God that we have successfully returned to where we live, thousands of miles from Nigeria. We thank God that we have made a vow: Never shall me, any of my children or husband in our lifetime visit Nigeria. Our remains any time we die, will also not be buried in Nigeria. It was a suggestion by my daughter which we all adopted.
I pity the country. I pity her people who continuously walk like the living dead. I pity those who parade themselves as leaders, because they know nothing about what is going on and the abyss the country sunk already.

I pity Yoruba people, oh, I pity you. I pity my people. For me the issue is not about President Buhari. Democracy can produce anything, even the worst in the society.

What I worry about is the conspiracy of silence by the people themselves, the ignorance, the treachery and the illusion that one day, things will get better through another election.


Since I was born in Nigeria, each year had led from bad to worse and on and on. I do not have a solution to what is going on, but I think very soon, hell will let loose upon the earth as long as there is no law and order and anarchy and the rule of brutes is the order of the day.
Once again, there cannot be anything more comforting than my husband who saw what I went through but has been able to encourage me and even encouraged me to write this little piece after months of agony and sociological imbalance. Good night Nigerians.

IBRAHIM ABDUL, Esq. P.hD. ANALYSED:

ZAMFARA: A NOVEL CONSTITUTIONAL PRECEDENCE
From the Supreme Court judgement today and my analysis of the Zamfara State declared Guber results vis-a-vis the declaration of the Apex Court ''that the runner-up candidate be sworn in if he fulfills the constitutional requirement of getting one quarter of the total votes cast in at least two-third of the local government areas of the state''. The PDP may not benefit from the judgement as being speculated. Here is my analysis.

The PDP did not win any of the 14 Local Government Areas in the last Gubernatorial polls in Zamfara state, APC won all. However, PDP had one-quarter (25%) of the total votes cast in only 6 (Anka, Bukkuyum, Maradum, Buggundu, Kaura Namoda and Maru LGs) while it did not make the 25% requirement in the remaining 8 (Bakura, Gunmi, Zurmi, Birnin Mogaji, Gusau, Shinkafi and Tsafe). Mathematically, two-third of 14 (LGs) is 9. Thus, Zamfara may not have a substantive Governor come May 29, 2019. Even if the Chief Judge assumes the Acting Governor's role, there may still not be any elected members of the House of Assembly to be inaugurated. So the CJ will be a Sole Administrator.

Do you know why in music people talk about Wizkid or Davido, Alakija or Adenuga in business, Wole Soyinka for Litrature and in Politics people talk about Tinubu or Obasanjo ? its simply because Yoruba doesnt focus our energy on inconsequential 5% ters .. we just do our thing and look up to God for approval

Precisely apt

THE NEW FOOTBALL RULES HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY UEFA TOO !
The new rules are as follow –

Attacking players can no longer infiltrate defensive walls of three or more players at free-kicks. Instead, the attacking side must be at least one metre away from the wall or concede an indirect free-kick.
.........
Goal kicks and free-kicks inside your own box no longer have to leave the penalty area to be “in play” – although the other side are not allowed inside the area until the ball has been made live.
...........
Drop balls can now be given straight to the goalkeeper if play was stopped inside the box. Outside the box, the ball will be dropped for the team that last touched it and all other players from both teams must be four metres away.
.............
If an attacking player uses his hand/arm to either score or create a goal-scoring chance, even if accidentally, it will be a handball offence and the goal wiped out.
........ .
Any incident of the ball striking the arm ABOVE shoulder height will be handball, unless the player kicks/heads it against themselves.
............
Handball will be deemed if any player has made themselves “unnaturally bigger” – e.g by throwing their arms out.
..........
At a penalty, the goalkeeper now needs to have only one foot on the line when the kick is taken. Keepers are not allowed to touch the post, bar or net before the kick is taken.
...........
A substituted player MUST leave the pitch at the nearest point, rather than only on half-way as before. This should cut down time-wasting.
............
Coaches and managers will now be handed red and yellow cards at all levels for misconduct. This happened in the EFL this season but not the Premier League.
...............
The side winning the toss will have choice of kick-off OR ends.
.............
In a change to Uefa regulations, up to 12 players will be allowed on the bench for European finals.
........

JUST one of the new rules comes into effect for June 1.

Both sides will be able to name up to 12 players on the bench in Madrid – although both sides are expected to stick with seven players.

The rest rules will all come into operation for the 2019/2020 season.
