Pro BONO, you meant?

THREE BENEFITS OF CIGARETTES

1. Smokers don't grow old!

2. Smokers can not be bitten by a dog!!

3. Smokers cannot be attacked by thieves while sleeping.

WHY NOT?
1. Smokers don't grow old because they will die young due to lung damage, as warned by the Ministry of Health.

2. Smokers won't be bitten by a dog simply because when their lungs are damaged they have to walk with a stick every time. And dogs fear people with a stick in their hands.

3.Thieves can't break into the house of a smoker at night because smokers are always awake coughing!

If you like these three benefits, keep smoking or stop smoking!

Hello everyone.
Am an active member on this forum, I've have my main account but I wish to remain anonymous, i just want to hide my identity and i will deactivate this account as soon as I get a solution. I'm so heartbroken right now

I thought my fiancée was different from every other guys, despite his gentle and innocent face I never knew he was a liar and a cheat

He's fond of connecting his laptop to his smart TV (65 inches). What displays on the laptop automatically displays on the smart TV screen. See what happened, he went downstairs to pickup something, So I wanted to see a movie on Netflix, while I was looking for a suitable movie to watch, a message popped up from Facebook and it stated "Whr are U? Check ur phone...6 missed calls "

At first, I wasn't triggered to open the msg but what drew my attention was the "cry emoji". When I opened the msg my heart melted, I was crying . Their secret affair has been going on since April last year. A married woman with 2 kids, I checked her profile I saw her kids and husband photos everywhere, she has visited my fiance at home several times, I saw lot of romantic messages.

I videoed their chat conversations as evidence, thank goodness his TV screen is wide enough for the blind to see. The moment he came inside he noticed my mood has changed, he was smart enough to know I opened his msg. He's started begging me, he said he can explain. Explain what?

Am on my way home now feeling devastated, heartbroken and sad . I plan to upload the video on Facebook and tag all the woman's friends until her husband sees it. I will also send the video to instablog, Linda ikeji.. Honestly I feel dejected and heartbroken. Help I don't know what to do .

Mynd44, seun, lalasticlala.

The only reason which will make me simpathise with you is if you as an unmarried fella has never fucck with him.

What difference does it make for a fornicator with you to go after another (married) woman?

You see, anything that will make anyone to underrate/ignore chastity before marriage opens such a fellow to all manner of sexual sins.
You are not even 100% sure you both will eventually marry and he has dealt blow with your puna, thereby putting one unlucky guy who would later finds you in jeopardy of frantically filling up already 'digged' and insatiable hole!

Today we mark the 70th anniversary of The Queen's accession to the throne. As we do so, we give thanks for Her Majesty’s dedication to us all - and her faithful witness to Jesus Christ.

Queen Elizabeth Celebrates Her Platinum Jubilee After 70 Years Throne

Making history!
Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee — 70 years to the day since she acceded to the British throne — on Sunday, February 6.

Everything to Know About Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee[b]
The royal, 95, makes history on Sunday when she becomes the first British monarch to ever mark a Platinum Jubilee[/b]. The milestone is meant to commemorate 70 years of service to the people of the United Kingdom, the realms and the Commonwealth. Elizabeth became queen on February 6, 1952, following the death of her father, King George VI.


“Tomorrow, 6th February, marks the 70th anniversary of my Accession in 1952. It is a day that, even after 70 years, I still remember as much for the death of my father, King George VI, as for the start of my reign,” the sovereign wrote via a statement on Saturday, February 5. “As we mark this anniversary, it gives me pleasure to renew to you the pledge I gave in 1947 that my life will always be devoted to your service.”

She continued: “As I look ahead with a sense of hope and optimism to the year of my Platinum Jubilee, I am reminded of how much we can be thankful for. These last seven decades have seen extraordinary progress socially, technologically and culturally that have benefitted us all; and I am confident that the future will offer similar opportunities to us and especially to the younger generations in the United Kingdom and throughout the Commonwealth.”


In her Accession Day message, she also paid tribute to her family and her late husband, Prince Philip, who died in April 2021 at age 99.

“I am fortunate to have had the steadfast and loving support of my family,” her statement continued. “I was blessed that in Prince Philip I had a partner willing to carry out the role of consort and unselfishly make the sacrifices that go with it. It is a role I saw my own mother perform during my father’s reign.”

Royal Family's Most Heartwarming Quotes About Queen
Royal expert Stewart Pearce told Us Weekly that the queen is “exhilarated” to reach the landmark, but the occasion is also bittersweet for her.

“This is an unusual time for her because she is about to remember [and] commemorate 70 years of her father’s departure. And she had a very, very close connection, a very close relationship with her father,” the author noted, adding that Elizabeth planned to spend the day at Sandringham with her family. “It will be a time of great memory for her.”

Pearce told Us that the queen would be enjoying “quiet time on Sunday” as well as “celebrating in memory of her late father and Prince Philip.” (Her husband of 73 years died in April 2021 at the age of 99.)

The entire royal family was not expected to attend the festivities, but Prince William and Duchess Kate were supposed to celebrate with his grandmother in person since they live “very close by,” Pearce noted. Their children, Prince George, 8, Princess Charlotte, 6, and Prince Louis, 3, were set to join the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge too.

A Breakdown of the Royal Line of Succession
“[Elizabeth] loves being with the innocent ones,” Pearce told Us. “She loves being with the children. It reminds her of those powerful motors that work through her, you know, the whole idea of heritage, tradition and legacy.”

As she marks seven decades on the British throne, the queen is “very exhilarated by the extraordinary nature of the fact that this is the 70th year of her monarchy, of her reign,” the voice coach shared.

While Sunday is the official anniversary of Elizabeth’s accession, she has more plans in store for her Platinum Jubilee as the year goes on. The celebration will culminate in a four-day holiday weekend in June, allowing people throughout the U.K. to come together to mark the historic occasion. Events will include the Trooping the Color parade — which occurs annually in honor of the queen’s birthday — a live concert at Buckingham Palace and a service of Thanksgiving for her reign.

Why I Am Suing Air Peace; Conditions To Withdraw Case – Emeka Ugwuonye
February 3, 2022 Adesina Soyooye
Emeka Ugwuonye and Air Peace
By Adesina Soyooye

Nigerians are used to flight delays by Airlines. It is not out of tune for Airlines to, because of a number of reasons ranging from bad weather, operational reasons, logistic reasons, late arrival of operating aircraft, delay flights, atimes, unduly.

Often times, passengers are not informed of the delays. They are left to guess why. They are left to bear the burden of the delays. When it is weather-related, people don’t bother. But they want to be informed. They want to be told the truth. Some of the Airlines don’t think it matters because, usually, in Nigeria, passengers only murmur, and take no actions.

That may begin to change.



An aggrieved passenger, Emeka Ugwuonye, a Harvard – trained Lawyer, has risen in anger against Air Peace Airline.

Trouble between Air Peace, Nigeria’s biggest fleet, and Ugwuonye started on January 27, 2022.

Ugwuonye said he had purchased the Airlines’ ticket out of Abuja to Lagos on their 4.25pm flight. On getting to the Airport by 2.00pm, however, he was told that his flight has been rescheduled to 8.10pm. No reason was offered. But he was offered a Business Class seat for a flight which would leave two hours earlier if he would pay N40,000 extra.

He decided to wait till 8.10pm. But later, his flight was rescheduled, again, to 10.00pm, and like before no reason offered. He, then, decided to go back to Abuja, as he felt it would be too late for him to leave the Lagos Airport for his Ikoyi residence that late. But he met a brickwall. He was told his luggage had been taken to Lagos on an earlier flight.



Ugwuonye said he, then, had no choice but to wait. But again, the flight was rescheduled to 11pm. Just as before, no reason was offered. The flight eventually took off by 11.43pm, and arrived Lagos by 12.33am.

But Ugwuonye’s problem was just beginning. It took him over an hour to locate his luggage. And when he did, no car would take him to his house that late, for safety reasons. When he, eventually, found one, it was at the cost of fifteen thousand Naira. He, finally, arrived his house by 3.00am.

Ugwuonye is angry at what he describes as a shabby treatment and mental torture and negligence and discomfort. His anger boiled to high heavens when he noticed later that, indeed, the Airline sent a text to him, by 2 55am, and rescheduled his flight to 6.25pm. His worry: Why was he not put on the 6.25pm flight when indeed, he had arrived the airport by 2.00pm? His anger rose a notch higher when he learnt the Airline attributed the eight-hour delay to bad weather. The questions: If so, how did his luggage arrive on an earlier flight? Was his flight not the one he was asked to pay an extra 40,000 for a Business Class ticket?

He is accusing the Airline of just selling tickets, and distributing passengers as they deem fit. He says the Airline flies passengers at their own time, not at the passengers time for a scheduled flight. He said he was scandalised to find out it was not a one-off situation on Air Peace. He said many of the Airline’s passengers had at one time or the other, suffered same fate, or even worse.



So, Ugwuonye said he and others are set to institute a class action against Air Peace. A register has been opened for aggrieved passengers, and their Lawyers have gone to work.

But, in a letter to the Management of the Airline, he listed the conditions under which the legal action could be discontinued.

Hereunder is Ugwuonye’s letter to the Management of Air Peace Airlines where he narrated his ordeal, and listed the conditions under which he could back-down.

It was dated 31st January, 2022, addressed to the the Managing Director, and delivered through DHL



COMPLAINT AND DEMAND

“Please permit me to address you concerning the mistreatment I suffered in the hands of Air Peace management and staff on Thursday, 27th January, 2022.

“On the said date, I was to travel from Abuja to Lagos. I was to fly back to Lagos via your 4:25pm flight. I got to the airport by 2pm. At the Air Peace check-in counter, I was told by Air Peace staff that my flight had been rescheduled for 8:10pm the same day. The staff who attended to me did not give me any reason for the change of schedule. Instead, she offered me a business class seat on an Air Peace flight leaving within two hours, if I were willing to pay N40,000 to upgrade my ticket. I felt disappointed, but I had no choice than to wait.

“I checked in my one-piece luggage and was issued a boarding pass showing a departure time of 8:10pm.



I had to wait at the departure lounge for the 8:10pm flight. The rescheduling of my flight caused me to cancel a meeting I was to have with my staff in Lagos by 7pm that evening. At 8:10pm, Air Peace did not call for boarding. I became anxious and wondered what that meant.

“By 9pm, there was an announcement that my flight had been moved again, now to 10:00pm. At this point, I tried to return to the city of Abuja, as I felt it would be too late for me to be in the streets of Lagos by midnight in order to travel from Murtala Mohammed Airport to my residence in Ikoyi.

“However, Air Peace staff could not retrieve my luggage because they had flown it to Lagos on some flight that departed Abuja to Lagos between 2pm and 8pm. So, I was forced to stay back at the Abuja airport, as I could not go back into the city without my luggage.

“By 10:00pm, there was yet another announcement indicating that the departure time for my flight had been moved again, this time to 11pm. Finally, my flight took off by 11:43pm and we arrived Lagos by 12:33am. I spent over an hour at the Murtala Mohammed Airport looking for my luggage which arrived Lagos in an earlier flight.



“I finally made it out of the arrival lounge and into an area where I could find a driver that would take me to Ikoyi. That took quite some time, as the few driver still at the airport all refused to go to Ikoyi out of concern for their safety. I finally found a driver who charged me N15,000 and I made it home by 3:00am.

“In the end, I felt deeply hurt and humiliated by your staff in the manner they handle my trip. It was only later that I began to hear that the reason for delaying my flight for 8 hours was due to weather.

“I did not believe this to be the case because my luggage was flown to Lagos during the same time period that weather was said to have prevented all flights from Abuja to Lagos. I was compelled by my ordeal to post on my Facebook Forum, (Movement for Peaceful Change) the experience I had with your Airline. I was shocked by the reactions of the public to my post.

“Upon investigation as to why I was not aware that my 4:25pm flight had been rescheduled, I discovered that indeed a message was sent to me by Air Peace. The message was sent by 2:17am on 27th of January stating that the 4:25pm flight on 27th January was being rescheduled to 6:25pm (different from 8:10pm I was told when I got to the airport). It is very dubious that Air Peace knew by 2:17am that there would be a weather problem by 4:25pm. Indeed, the 2:17am message stated:

“Dear esteemed passenger, due to operational reasons, we regret to announce the time change in your flight programme. Flight 7135, Abuja to Lagos for today, 27th January, 2022 will now depart at 6:25pm. We truly regret the impact of this sudden time change on your travel plans. Please bear with us…”

“That shows dishonesty in the subsequent excuses of weather conditions. Essentially, Air Peace had its capricious and selfish reasons for changing the flight time, and it lied about it.

“My best assessment of what happened was that Air Peace has a practice of booking passengers for flights without any commitment to the passengers’ preferred departure or arrival time. It gathers all those travelling on a particular day and a given city, and then begin to assign them to different flight schedules in a manner to ensure that each flight was as full as possible, regardless of the passengers’ preferred schedule.

“Air Peace passengers fly not when they want to fly, but when Air Peace wants them to fly. This is a very primitive and underhanded practice in airline booking. All those excuses about weather or operational reasons seem to be mere pretext to cover up this bizarre practice.

“Whereas I had thought that what happened to me was an exceptional event, on the contrary, I was inundated with cries and complaints from other travelers who had similar or worse experience from Air Peace. The sheer number of these unhappy travelers and the agonizing tales they had to tell left a very profound impression on me. I became quite disturbed the more I realized the implications of what happened to me. I perceived a culture of impunity, not just within Air Peace, but equally, in the manner other airlines treated travelers. I was left with no choice than to seek redress in a court of law unless Air Peace would agree to the following demands:

“(1) That Air Peace tender a public apology to its customers who have been similarly hurt and mistreated. Such apology should come from the top management of Air Peace. It should admit wrongdoing and show genuine remorse, and promise to improve. Air Peace has to understand that the people are not stupid. They did not buy the general weather excuse. It was too convenient for Air Peace to invoke that excuse whenever it liked, believing that the travelers wouldn’t know any better.

“(2) That Air Peace agree to observe the following standards when dealing with customer complaints:

(a) Where a flight is delayed beyond 3 hours, Air Peace shall:

“(i) offer the traveler the option of rebooking his flight to another day at no further fees or costs, or

(ii) rebook him in a flight with any other airline that is departing to his destination.

“Example: If an Air Peace flight originally scheduled for 2pm cannot take off by 5pm, Air Peace should place the affected passenger in, say, Dana flight to the person’s destination, without any additional fee from the passenger, or

“(iii) offer the affected traveler a full refund of what he paid for the ticket.

NOTE: It is not fair that when an airline has an excuse to delay flights, it will be only the passenger that suffers it. The airline should bear the cost of such weather-induced delay. As it is now, Air Peace loses nothing if a delay keeps people at the airport for 10 hours. Air Peace still makes the profit it would have made if there was no such delay. So, Air Peace has no incentive to avoid delays because the affected passenger has absolutely no option than to wait or forfeit his ticket fee. But by refunding passengers their money, Air Peace will have an incentive to avoid delays. The passenger should not be the only person to lose each time there is a weather problem. The airline should bear that loss or at least share in it.

“(3) Where Air Peace notices that there will be a delay need to reschedule a flight, it must notify the passenger honestly and reasonably.

“(4) If, as a result of more than 3-hours delay, a passenger arrives at his destination airport after 10pm, Air Peace shall provide a vehicle to convey the person to his final destination or shall pay for a bed and breakfast for that person in a hotel near to the airport. Leaving a traveler stranded at the airport or risking his life trying to get home by midnight in such circumstance is wrong and unacceptable.

“(5) Air Peace shall commit to providing further training for its staff that deal directly with customers to reduce the humiliation that passengers have reported to have endured in the hands of Air Peace staff.

“(6) Air Peace shall commit to establishing its own claims department with capacity to effectively treat passenger complaints. At present, Air Peace complaint unit either does not exist or it is poorly staff and equipped. Hence, complaints are not attended to in an effective or responsive manner.

“(7) If a passenger arrives at his destination other than his city of residence, while his luggage was left behind or mistakenly sent to a different destination, Air Peace shall offer a reasonable amount of money to enable the passenger to purchase toiletries and clothes to wear until his luggage arrives within a reasonable time, not longer than 48 hours.

“( If a passenger’s luggage is lost by Air Peace, it shall make an offer to pay compensation for the lost luggage within two weeks.

“(9) If a passenger mistakenly pays twice for the same ticket, Air Peace shall refund the excess payment within 24 hours.

“(10) In the event that an altercation between a passenger and staff of Air Peace is video-recorded by the passenger or a third party, Air Peace shall treat such video recording as valid evidence that belongs to the owner or maker of the video recording, and not try to destroy such evidence.

“All the above ten demands can be met in the initial stage by a public statement and declaration of principles and objectives by Air Peace management, and then followed up with concrete measures within a reasonable time.

“We believe that Air Peace is the leader of the commercial aviation industry in Nigeria. It is in a strong position to implement these standards, and they will be followed by other airlines in Nigeria. Once there is a commitment to these reforms and improvements in standards of passenger treatment, We shall not proceed with litigation.

“However, if Air Peace rejects these demands, we shall be left with no option than to pursue a class action lawsuit against Air Peace. And for that purpose, we have commenced the process of preparing a register of victims of Air Peace.

“Thank you for your consideration of my letter.

Yours truly,

Nigerian Catholic priest, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu, has stated that almost all miracles people see on television or in crusades are staged, IGBERETV reports.

The priest stated this in a Facebook post on Thursday, February 3, 2022 while speaking on some of the signs to identify real miracles.

He stated that the first sign that a minister is fake is when he is being advertised ahead of a church program as a healer.

He noted that anyone who truly has the gift of healing does not make a noise about it and won’t be comfortable when it is used.

He went on to state that almost all the so-called miracles people see on TV or in crusades are staged.

Google: 'Osinbajo is the reason why we are investing in Nigeria'

Google credits Vice President Yemi Osinbajo with the love it is showing Nigeria.

Google has described Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as an excellent partner; and one whose support has enabled the organisation record some remarkable success in Nigeria.


The tech giant made the statement when Doron Avni, Google’s Government Affairs and Public Policy Director, led a delegation from Google Global Services in the United States to the State House in Abuja on Thursday, February 13.

Avni said the firm has trained three million Nigerians since its pledge to train 10 million people in Africa.

“Obviously, we have an excellent partner here (Prof. Osinbajo) who has been doing God’s work. It is thanks to leading partners like him [/b]that we are able to be helpful in communities in which we operate.

“[b]We had made a pledge to train 10 million people in Africa by 2022. I am happy to report to you that so far we have trained more than 5 million people. Most important is the fact that out of those 5 million, 3 million are Nigerians.


“With the collaboration that we have with the Ministry of Education, we have now integrated some of Google’s curriculum on online safety into the school’s curriculum. So, we will be reaching 56 million students in Nigeria this year," he said.

He then added that the company’s target of training up to 10 million people in Africa by 2022 was realisable.

Girl child education
In his remarks, Osinbajo said the federal government will support any partnership that addresses literacy and educational challenges, including the problem of out-of-school children and girl child education in Nigeria.

According to him, “it might help if we begin to look at something more in the area of literacy type skills because really, we are looking at how to expand the whole scope of education, especially education for girls.

“So, the question really is how we can use technology to make it easier for girls, in particular, to go to school, because if we somehow bring education to their doorsteps, it might take care of some of the problems around taking them out of their home environment.

“For us, our education mandate is so crucial,” he added.

I thought Atiku is a smart politician but he's not. He just lost chunk voters because of this single act. One fight a man must always avoid if u want to move up in life is fighting a woman. By this write up, every sane man won't vote for him in any guise. Igbos will now hate anything Atiku, women will take side and every lovers of women will take side with her as well. Wrong move I must confess.

C'est la vie

malheureusement, c'est vrai

Jennifer, one of the wives of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, explains why she is divorcing her husband and the controversies that have characterized the process in a statement.

WHY I DIVORCED ATIKU
by Jennifer Atiku

Jennifer Abubakar, the wife of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has issued an exclusive statement to on the divorce saga with her husband, Atiku Abubakar. Lengthy but worth the read.

The full statement:

For some time now, especially in the last few weeks, there has been a whole lot of rumours and in circulation about the state of my marriage to his Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri Adamawa, GCON. The stories got more vicious as they continued to circulate. I deem it necessary to defend myself against the calculated propaganda to malign my character and position me in a bad light and damage my name. Without resorting to nonsensical talk, I would address the two key issues at hand:

(1) That I asked for a divorce because His Excellency got married again.

(2) That I sold his Excellency’s house in Dubai.

That I asked for a divorce because His Excellency got married again
• On June. 26, 2021, I asked His Excellency to grant me a divorce in light of the breakdown of our marriage. And, during that period, I told his Excellency that I remain at his Excellency’s service to continue to assist him in his activities even If I am no longer married to him. Suffice it to say that several friends of his Excellency tried to mediate in this matter. I thank them most graciously and remain grateful for their efforts, Peter Okocha, Senator Ben Obi, Tunde Ayeni, Captain Yahaya and Senator Ben Bruce.


• The core reason for the divorce was disagreement over my continued stay in the United Kingdom, to look after my children and several other long-standing issues. I needed to play the role of a mother at this time to the children who have gone through the absence of both father and mother growing up; especially, with the passage of my elder sister who used to look after them. Furthermore, in light of COVID times, choosing to stay with the children was nonnegotiable. And, in line with Northern culture, the new wife takes up the baton so I can also focus on giving the kids more care.

• Despite not informing us officially according to northern/Islamic culture, I knew about his Excellency’s new wife from the time Excellency was dating her and when his Excellency eventually married her. I have graciously invited our new wife to my son’s wedding in Dubai in 2018 without any ill feelings and congratulated his Excellency when our new wife put to bed.

• I was already aware that His Excellency had gotten married to our new wife but that did not deter me from supporting His Excellency and indeed, we went through a most rigorous electioneering campaign and garnered massive support for his election in 2019.

• That His Excellency married a new wife was never the cause of our problem as many have said. His Excellency is a Moslem and I have never questioned him about his wives or intended.

I hope this brings this issue to rest as I did not leave the house because of his new marriage.

• The Matrimonial home in Asokoro which we reside was gifted to me by him even before we moved into that home from a previous residence. Indeed, His Excellency caused his Private Secretary to process the DEED of assignment documents for the house, which he did and handed. me the documents. I then commenced processing the title to the property.

• During the initial mediation discussion, Excellency denied that he gifted the house even after I showed him
the document with the signatures of his aide, his Excellency asked me to give him the deed of gift. “When I asked him, where will me and the kids stay when we come to Nigeria?”, he told me that since I am the one that asked for a divorce, I should find a place to stay and subsequently, I moved out.

• His Excellency further gave orders to have my nephews living with me in the house ejected within an hour of his order and gave orders that I and my family members are not allowed to enter the house. Hence, during my last visit to Nigeria in December, 2021, I stayed at a hotel. I have long released these assets to him and hereby reiterate that thee titles are at his disposal to pick up whenever he deems fit.

Dubai Home
• There has been a lot of speculation on the Dubai home. For a while now, I had purposely stayed away the Dubai until I took custody of that property September 2021 after his Excellency reneged on his word to give the current value of the said property in exchange. When I came to Nigeria, in early September, 2021. I asked to have a private conversation with His Excellency. During that conversation, I informed his Excellency that once I get back to the United Kingdom, I will go to Dubai and take over the house. He subsequently departed for his medical trip to Germany refusing to address any of the issues I privately wanted to conclude with him outside of third parties.

• I subsequently travelled to Dubai, and took custody of the said property. Once I did that, on 18 September 2021, His Excellency sent me a text and I quote: “I hear you have moved to Dubai to takeover the house. I am still in Germany for my medicals. Make sure all my properties including (redacted) are intact so I can collect all my properties. I wish you well’.

• I responded to him: “ Excellency, I am left with no other option as we need to get on with our lives amicably. I hope your medicals are coming up good. I wish you well too’.

• On 19th September, 2021 in response to his text that I am not being amicable and I quote ”Good morning, with due respect, Excellency, I told you on Saturday before you left for Germany, that I was going back to UK, take [our son] back for his test, then come to Dubai. I reiterated that day the need for an amicable resolution. I maintain that stance and remain at your service Your Excellency’.

• Further on Tuesday, 21 September, 2021, I asked His Excellency in another text whether he wanted me to pack up his clothes and give to Rahim (his driver) since the driver on his instructions was moving his cars. I also asked Excellency in that text whether he wanted me to have Rahim pack up his office. Then his Excellency sent me a text back and asked: ‘So its true you have sold the villa?’

• Subsequently, His Excellency sent the driver to take possession of all the cars.

The truth subsists with regard to the Dubai house. I will make no further comments on it because it is the subject of litigation filed by his Excellency against me.

I need to also put on record that if I wanted to take His Excellency assets, I would not have returned to him his property documents in Abuja and Jos and document, allowed the driver to collect his cars, gave up the house in Asokoro and Yola.

The last time I was in Nigeria I called to have the Asokoro and Yola documents delivered to him. It was never picked up and I still state that Excellency is free to send someone to have the documents picked up anytime he deems fit.

Threats/Intimidation
• Since this incident, I fear for my safety and that of my kids. His Excellency’s security operatives especially Ibro and others have making threats and calling my relatives, friends and staff and searching for my assets to seize and monitoring my phone calls and those of friends and relatiives. For that reason, I have exited my law firm and sold all my assets and moved abroad until peace reigns.

• I have done nothing wrong except to ask for a divorce and it pains me that I have to use this medium to address thorny issues but fear that at this point, I would have to put my side of the story on record. It is obvious that a campaign of calumny to total discredit and put me in bad light has begun.

Despite all that has happened, I reiterate that I asked for a quiet divorce which had if it had been granted, we would not be where we are today. Divorce is never an easy process for both parties. I reiterate that I hope we can settle our issues privately and I would remain at His Excellency’s service should he need my help, anytime.

You have right to market your candidate, but you need caution.

Respect your elders.

If you want to discard rotational presidency, then SE must have their turn. After which it will be thrown open.

Quota system, Federal character can also been thrown open, so the best candidates in an examination can get the advertised position.

You guys especially the NGpatriot will never see that these policies prevent the best candidates.

We should stop being pretty and clannish.

If you want the best candidates then go the whole way...stop shifting the goal posts, when its the turn of the others.

You had your slot about 7 years ago when your son Ebele Azikiwe from the greater East (or you think we can forget all those things lol).
In fact, the next people should be middle belt and not even South.

The man...

"Osinbajo Most Fearless Champion Of Federalism In Nigeria, With Sagacity Of A True Leader" — Sen. Adeyeye

Going by his impeccable record and antecedent as Lagos State Attorney General and now as Vice President of the country, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is unarguably the most fearless champion of federalism in Nigeria, according to Prof. (Sen.) Sola Adeyeye.

Sen. Adeyeye who represents Osun Central at the National Assembly stated this in a chat with the press recently and reported by Daily Independent.

Adeyeye who is himself an outspoken advocate of restructuring and a man of conscience, explained that Prof. Osinbajo has over the years, through actions and comments, demonstrated his commitment to the ideals of true federalism.

Justifying his stand about the VP, the Senator said “if you are talking of the success of Tinubu, you will remember that six times, Tinubu took the federal government to court, six times he won.

“The brain behind that victory was Yemi Osinbajo. Osinbajo has been the most fearless champion of federalism in this country.”

“Every time that Buhari had to travel and Osinbajo steps in, things have run very smoothly. He has the temperament, intellect, sagacity, capacity and dexterity required of a true leader,” he added.

Continuing, Sen. Adeyeye said “he did not become Vice President by accident. Actually, I was in Asokoro on the night that Osinbajo’s name was submitted as running mate to President Buhari who was our candidate then.”

“It was the nomination of Tinubu, let’s be honest about that. What did Tinubu see that made him nominate Osinbajo?



“He must have seen a trait that is unique, singular and presidential because when you are Vice President, you are just one breadth away from the presidency,” he explained.

Speaking further about the contributions of Prof. Osinbajo to the advancement of Lagos State during the administration of Tinubu as Governor, he said “if you look at the record of both of them, the truth is, they are most impressive characters. Tinubu is a most impressive politician.

“Within eight years as governor, Tinubu made a geometric increase in the generation of Lagos State. In doing so, he assembled a cadre of talents that those who admired him have continued to tout everywhere.


“Among those talents, probably the very best of them include Babatunde Fashola and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. If any of those three men become the president of Nigeria, we will be a lucky country.”

The senator however prayed that the APC would make the right choice for the candidate of the party, and noted that “in trying to canvass for one person, we will not try to degrade the other person. It is very wrong to do that and I will not be a party to that.”

They are pressing our mumu button again.

Prof Deborah Ajakaiye is a distinguished Nigerian geophysicist whose work in geophysics has played an important role in mining in Nigeria. She is also the first female professor of Physics in Africa.

It is a puzzle though why this feat has gone unnoticed or perhaps no longer celebrated. Except you stumble on her name on the internet or have a personal encounter with her, you may never have heard of her.

Prof Deborah Ajakaiye’s achievement as the first female professor in Physics is indeed exceptional. In our world today we come across women doing great things in the science and tech world. However, back in the day, such was not common.

She shattered the glass ceiling by actually venturing into the world of science. Coupled with the core conservative nature of the land of her birth, Deborah subtly achieved a great height that still stuns the world to date.



Birth and Family Background
Prof. Deborah Ajakaiye was born in 1940, in Plateau State capital, Jos, in the Northern region of Nigeria. She was the fifth of sixth children. Her parents where firm believers in gender equality and the power of education. She recalls back then how gender played zero roles in the domestic chores among her siblings. She was the 5th of 6 children.

In her later years, she would identify this trait as a motivating factor that gave her the psychological freedom to live out her potentials without any form of societal restrictions.

In an interview with NTA, she encouraged modern day parents not to be gender conscious in choosing toys for their children. She is of the opinion that behaviors like this sends a message to the children’s psyche at that early stage.

At a tender age, Deborah had exhibited brilliance in mathematics. With the noble intention of contributing to society, she opted for geophysics.



Education/Career
Prof. Deborah Ajakaiye obtained her undergraduate degree in Physics from the University of Ibadan in 1962. She furthered her education and received a master’s degree at the University of Birmingham in England, and by 1970 received her Ph.D. in geophysics from Ahmadu Bello University in Nigeria.

Originally interested in mathematics, Ajakaiye says she chose to pursue geophysics because she believed it could help her country.

With such brilliance, it was no surprise she ended up in the academic field. She was retained at Ahmadu Bello University and later also taught at the University of Jos where she served as the dean of natural sciences.

Ajakaiye became the first female professor of physics in Africa in 1980.



Retirement/Philanthropy
By 1991 she retired from academic duties and gave focus to her charity Organizations, Christian Care for Widows, Widowers, the Aged and Orphans, (CCWA). Through this non-religious and non-political platform, Prof. Deborah caters to the all-round welfare- physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually- of the target group.

CCWA marked its 25th anniversary on October 12-14, 2017 in Abuja, Nigeria with the theme, Think Positively. It has more than 30, 000 registered members from the target groups. CCWA is present in 25 states of the country with 509 centers covering all the 6 geopolitical zones.

So far, the organization has awarded scholarships to 663 orphans; trained 1600 widows in various skills; granted 822 micro loans to registered widows; and conducted medicals on 884 widows across the zones as well as organized health talks to over 2500 widows in HIV/Aids- Awareness campaign amongst several others.

Prof Deborah Ajakaiye’s Achievements
The Nigerian geophysicist played an important role in mining in Nigeria. She made notable contributions to the socio-economic development of Nigeria through hydrocarbon discoveries.



Courtesy of her work in geovisualization, Ajakaiye proffered ways to locate both mineral deposits and groundwater in Nigeria.

For that, she was honored and awarded by The Nigerian Mining and Geosciences Society. Ajakaiye was also the first black African to be named a fellow of the Geological Society of London.

Amongst other awards, Prof. Ajakaiye was among the 50 Nigerian women who were honored with a special award by the First Lady, Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan, on September 29, 2010, at the 50th independence Award for Women of Distinction.

She has written many books and made presentations at several lectures. Prof. Deborah Ajakaiye co-authored the book, Course Manual & Atlas of Structural Styles on Reflection Profiles from the Niger Delta, with A. W. Bally.



The book has become an international reference material on seismic studies and research on the oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria and similar deltas worldwide.

Ajakaiye served as a member of the Advisory Council of AAPG from 2001 to 2004, and was elected for AAPG’s Africa Region President (2005 – 2007). She was the first and only African to win the AAPG award in 2011.

It is of worthy interest to know that Deborah Ajakaiye is currently leading NNPC’s quest to increase the nation’s crude oil reserves through the geophysical exploration of the inland sedimentary basins including the Chad Basin, Gongola/Yola Basin, Benue trough, Anambra Basin, Bida Basin, Sokoto Basin, and the Dahomey Basin.
