Residents and buyers of the Ekiti State-owned Irewolede Estate in Ado Ekiti have sought protection from the police against unlawful eviction from their homes by Governor Ayodele Fayose.
In a petition to the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, National Human Rights Commission and State Director of the Department of State Services, the Chairman of the Irewolede Estate Landlords’ Association, Ayodele Orebe, and Secretary, Fidelis Adikwu, accused the governor of harassment and forceful eviction.
They alleged that the governor refused to accept a mortgage agreement with Ekiti State Housing Corporation in the payment for their houses, while all efforts to have audience with him were futile.
They said they were shocked on Thursday when armed policemen and thugs were led by some aides of the governor to seal off the houses and in the process, a four-day-old baby and her mother were locked inside their house and the thugs went away with the keys.
“We see this as a brazen impunity, unnecessary victimisation and violation of our fundamental human rights and we urge you to use your good offices to prevent your men from being used for illegal and inhuman actions, as the residents have not breached their repayment agreement,” the petitioners added.
In a August 6 petition to the Police Commissioner, Etop James, the residents, through their lawyer, R. O. Balogun, also appealed to the police authorities not to allow their men be used for illegal activities against law-abiding citizens.
They warned the governor against “avoidable violent clash between residents and law enforcement agents” over his handling of a civil matter that did not follow legal procedure.
The letter read in part, “Our clients applied to the Housing Corporation for purchase of their houses and accepted the offer and paid the initial deposit in line with the letters of offer and took possession, and, accordingly, all of them have been occupying their respective houses, having paid the initial deposit in line with the agreement.
“By the tenure of the sale agreement, our clients are requested to pay the total cost of their houses within the period of five years from the day offer letters were written to them by the corporation.”
Balogun, who stated that the agreement also included an extension for another five years to make it convenient to pay up the mortgage sum, regretted that the first five years had not been exhausted when the governor moved against his clients.
“It is worrisome that the governor can be threatening fire and brimstone when the tenure of the mortgage has not expired.
“During the last meeting His Excellency had with our clients, he restated his threat point blank that he will eject our clients and allocate their houses to interested buyers contrary to the mortgage agreement,” he explained.
Balogun urged the CP to protect his clients and prevent avoidable breakdown of law and order.

Thank God He is alive

I dated a lady for eight years despite the fact that I met her as a prostitute. She is loving, caring, respectful and hardworking. We agreed getting married in future but after I was deported from Europe and also lost my job. she called off the relationship, went back to the hotel and was dating a younger lover. For two years, I was traumatised and almost committed suicide. Now, she has been calling me and making efforts for a return but I am afraid of what she did before and just want her as a friend. I have already forgiven her but I told her no more romance. What do you think?

Why stress yourself over her? A dog will always go back to its vomit. I am sure the younger guy too lost his means of livelihood and she needs a greener pasture. Don’t make the mistake of dating her again because she will do worse things that could lead to you having stroke. Watch it and steer clear of her.
He’s 20 years older but I love him
A man of 45 years, who is also married, is in love with me. His marriage is without children and he wants to marry me. I am 25 years old but I am afraid of the heat from my friends and family. On the other hand, I feel that he will abandon me after having a baby for him because he loves his wife. What do I do because we are both in love?
P.P

The true test of love is when a couple starts living under same room as man and wife. All your claims of loving him and vice versa may become an issue of sorrow if he dumps you, takes his baby and runs back to his wife. Moreover, if you are not comfortable with the idea of marrying a man who is 20 years older than you are, then, drop the idea. Marriage, especially if you are the other woman, is not as rosy as it seems in courtship. If you sense that he loves his wife to the extent of abandoning you after having a baby for him, let go of him.
My wife and I keep malice for months
I am 42 and been married for 10 years now with three kids. My problem is that my wife does not respect me but prefers her family to mine. Any misunderstanding results into fights and we can live together for a month or more without talking to each other. I have never known peace for the past 10 years and her parents talked to her without a change from her. I want to divorce her before I lose respect in my family and on the street which we live. I don’t drink, womanise and I have been sleeping alone for over one month.
M.O,
Ibadan
Really, I don’t advise divorce for a couple with kids because the side effect of a broken home stays longer in the lives of kids. If her parents have spoken to her and intervened in this matter without any change, have you approached your pastor or any cleric? This is because such interventions in a dying marriage are of great help. Aside that, why not make attempts at addressing the situation by talking to her instead of keeping malice with her. If you love your kids, then go ahead and make peace with her, maybe she could be touched by your positive attitude. Talk to her and see if you can both give the marriage another chance. Living together is not an easy task but with endurance and tolerance, which can be laced with love, the going becomes easy.
He’s not ready to drop his bad habits
I am a female soldier and I also date a soldier. He drinks, smokes and likes to sell his property. When I told him to stop, he didn’t and I decided to call off the affair. As a result, he stabbed himself but he didn’t die. This score was later settled by his mother. He has proposed to marry me and wants to see my parents by September. Though he beats women, he has never beaten me and many girls run after him. What do I do because I am really confused?
P.Y
Lagos
I just have this feeling that your marriage to this guy may not work out well. This is because he seems not ready to drop off those habits. Immediately he becomes your husband, he could start beating you like other women he has dated. If after marriage you threaten to leave him, I sense he may stab you and also injure himself too. I think you should patiently wait for a better guy to ask for your hand in marriage. Or you are too desperate to get married? I have seen many married women who keep asking this question: ‘Why did I marry him?’ Many wished they had your opportunity of knowing the real man before saying, ‘I do’. Luckily, this guy has shown you his true self, and you also know what you want.
I desire to be a second wife
I am 30 years old but single. I have been dating a married man, who has a child, for a year and a half. He has been catering for my needs and even my family. He showers me with love, gifts and I truly love him. Now, I am under pressure to get married. Already, no bachelor is asking me out. I have had several broken relationships in the past but this man once took me to his village to meet his mother. Though, no formal introduction, he promised to see my family members very soon. Do I call off the affair for intending suitors to come? I don’t want to lose him. Some of my friends said I could be mocked for being a second wife but do I go ahead and marry him? Or will a bachelor come one day?
I.J.E,
Abuja
I have always believed that polygamy is not fanciful, no matter the money involved. Even if he can afford to keep two homes, you should know that marriage entails more than money. What are his reasons for wanting another wife? What kind of mother does he have? What transpires in his home to make him opt for another wife? You need to know all these because you could also face whatever his first wife is facing. If you are ready to be a second wife, you should know that more women, who will also go to see his mother, are coming. Maybe some suitors are coming but you are so committed to this affair and what it offers you that you don’t even know when the right suitor comes. Dating a married man and trying to get a young bachelor to marry is a Herculean task. Think very well because not all that glitters is gold.

Goodbye Patience Jonathan , welcome Aisha Buhari

Nigerians making statements everywhere. Aren't you just proud to be a Nigerian?

Op let me add mine. nigerian school children celebrating national independence- october-1-1960.

The hero of our time.

Over £400bn worth of Nigerian money is being stashed away in Europe, Asia and America, says a group, Africa Secretariat.

Currently, President Muhammadu Buhari is seeking the assistance of the United States and European countries to recover looted Nigerian funds kept in foreign banks.

Coordinator of the United Kingdom-based group, Mr. Ben Oguntala, told SUNDAY PUNCH on Friday that his group had suggested ways of recovering the looted funds to President Buhari.

He said, “The image President Buhari is projecting is his promise to fight corruption. He cannot do this alone and it is for this reason that we have sent the President our proposal for addressing corruption.

“There is over £400bn worth of Nigerian money being fraudulently held in Europe, Asia and America. When we met with the President on his visit to London (earlier this year), he asked us to find out how Nigerians in the Diaspora can contribute to the development of Nigeria and we see fighting corruption as a cornerstone of that change that Nigeria is leading across Africa.

“The perpetrators thought they got away from the Nigerian law but now, finally, the law can be extended to bring them to account.”

According to Oguntala, an anti-corruption agency which will be established in Britain has been suggested to Buhari.

“The Nigerian Corruption Amnesty Commission proposal has been suggested and submitted to the President. It will be headed by one of the most talented lawyers in criminal law in the world. The commission will be answerable directly to the President and will be held in the UK, using the UK and European Union laws to target perpetrators who thought they were out of the Nigerian legal jurisdiction,” he said.

The proposed commission, Oguntala noted, would invoke the powers of UK’s Bribery and Corruption Act of 2010 and its EU and US equivalent, in collaboration with the Serious Fraud Office and the Metropolitan Police and international fraud agencies that already have names of those that defrauded Nigeria on their radar.

The NCAC will also allow Nigerians in the Diaspora and their country to give evidence to the commission.

Oguntala added, “Using social media and the Internet, witnesses will be able to give evidence from any location across the world, providing evidence of corruption they know. The commission will also give a window for perpetrators to confess and return their loots or face the book being thrown at them.

“As part of the confession they give, the commission will demand details of how they carried out the corruption and the information will be used to plug the loophole in the commensurate sources in Nigeria to ensure we prevent such graft from happening again.”

highlighted an event that turned his life around. In an industry where an artiste’s success is not usually sustained, the African Queen sensation said artistes should never assume they have arrived. “I think it’s the I don arrive syndrome that affects artistes who fall along the way. That thing is a major factor. Most times if you check it, it is that syndrome of I have arrived and we have to keep doing it this way, forgetting that you have to keep working on yourself.” When asked what he doesn’t like about being a star, he had this to say: “ I don’t like the fact that when you enter the public space, you have lost your privacy”. Recalling the event that
changed his life, he said it will be the first time he met a man called Edi Lawani. “I think one of those events will be the first time I met a man like Edi Lawani.We were nobodies then. He just welcomed us like : Guys, how far na, na dis kind thing una dey do? And from there he started recommending us to different people.” Edi Lawani is a popular events manager and showbiz promoter.
