about three weeks ago in Abuja. She also thanked Bobrisky for praying with her over the phone.

Trending as fresh crisis erupted at the Anambra state House of Assembly on Tuesday as an attempt by aggrieved lawmakers to impeach the Speaker, Hon. Rita Maduagwu, appears all but thwarted by the Clerk of the parliament as he reportedly refused to swear in Hon. Ikemefune Uzoezie as new speaker.
Maduagwu who rallied about 10 lawmakers out of 30 members of the assembly to hold a brief session after the controversial impeachment, however, insisted that she remained the speaker.
She described her purported impeachment as “a bundle of illegality” and those behind it as “rascals.” According to her, “Nobody can impeach me because I have not committed any offence. They didn’t have any power known to any law to impeach me. They need two-thirds of our members to impeach the speaker or the governor. So, I’m still the speaker,” she declared in a defiant tone.
Orient Daily was at, and witnessed, the dramatic session during which the controversial impeachment plot was initiated following a motion moved by Uzoezie, a two-term member representing Aguata II constituency, and supported by Hon. Onyebuchi Offor of Ekwusigo constituency.
Shortly after the motion was raised, Hon. Benson Nwawulu swiftly nominated Uzoezie as new speaker and supported by Hon. Kingsley Iruba of Nnewi South I.
The 30-member 6th Assembly, it was learnt, was presided over by the deputy speaker, Hon. Harford Ikechukwu Oseke and had 23 members in attendance.
This resulted in a rowdy session as Hon. Uche Okafor of Ayamelum constituency, argued, without being formally recognised to address the session by the new speaker, that the impeachment was not properly conducted.
Okafor argued that Hon. Paschal Agbodike and Hon Godwin Okafor, who were reportedly included in the lists of those that impeached Maduagwu, were not present in the house.
The impeachment plot was, however, to suffer a major technical hitch when the Clerk of the House, Pius Udoh, refused to swear in Uzoezie who, in preemption, had already occupied the speaker’s seat. Udoh insisted that the impeachment process did not follow due process.
According to Udoh, the lawmakers ought to have presented the necessary document containing names and signatories of those that impeached the speaker and, as well, itemised her offence(s) and not just impeach her by mere, indeterminate voice votes.
As the heated argument continued, Uzoezie called on the majority leader, Hon. Victor Jideofor Okoye, to call a motion for adjournment, a call Okoye hastily heeded and got supported by Hon. Offor whereupon the house rose.
Addressing the press after the session, the Uzoezie accused Maduagwu of docility and finan­cial misappropriation, adding that he would be addressing the press in subsequent sittings starting from Thursday when the next plenary would hold.
Shortly after the impeachment drama, however, some members of the Anambra state executive, such as Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Solo Chukwulobelu, Commissioner for Information, C Don Adinuba, Senior Special Assis­tant to the governor on House of Assembly matters, Hon. Chidozie Ezeugwa and some others, as well as a combined team of security personnel, stormed the legislative complex in what observers view as show of solidarity with the embattled speaker.
Addressing a press conference afterwards, the embattled Speaker, Rita Maduagwu, insisted that she was not impeached. According to her, the house required 20 members (2/3 majority) to carry out impeachment but 15 members were already on her side out of 30 members of the house and she was never served with any impeachment notice.
She recalled that there was not served any impeachment notice noting that she was in the complex and preparing to come down for normal plenary having just finished an executive session with them.
Maduagwu also insisted that no house member was suspended, adding that no executive member intervened to forestall the impeachment as those members had no legal backing to carry out the act.
The eleven members further sat at 3.38 pm in a session presided by Speaker Maduagwu.
Addressing the media on why he refused to swear in Hon. Uzoezie as speaker when the impeachment faction demanded so, the Clerk of the House, Pius Udoh, said the impeachment was not properly conducted but rather null and void.
Udoh claimed that it was only the Speaker that can preside over the house and she was in the premises waiting to come down for the sitting when her deputy presided. He said it was only when the speaker so directed the deputy speaker that he could preside over plenary and not the other way around.
He added that Uzoezie and the lot made a blanket statement for impeachment and followed this up with a mere voice vote. “There are matters you can use a voice cote. The matters involving impeachment cannot be conducted using a voice vote. Section 93 (c) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is explicit on how the Speaker or deputy speaker can be removed,” he added.
He explained that he should have presented a roll call of those signing the impeachment, and other procedures.
He said there was no sitting or impeachment as it was null and void; and only an attempted im­peachment.
On which faction will sit on Thursday, the Clerk said it was only the Maduagwu faction that will sit on Thursday because there was no change in leadership of the house.
On his part, the senior special assistant to the Anambra state governor on Assembly matters, Hon. Chidozie Ezeugwa, in another interview, assured that both factions would soon resolve their differences insisting there was no change in leadership of the house.
Meanwhile, the publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Anambra state, Mr. Okelo Madukaife, has dismissed the dramatic impeachment plot at the state house of assembly as mere comic show. According to the APC spokesman, Anambra state has never had a state assembly. “They are just rubber stamp; they don’t carry out oversight function. What we have in Anambra state is a committee in governor Obia­no’s pocket.

[color=#000000][/color]The former Leicester City boss returns to the English top flight looking to rescue the London club from a relegation scrap
Slavisa Jokanovic has been sacked by Fulham with Claudio Ranieri appointed as the Premier League club's new manager.
With Fulham bottom of the Premier League following six consecutive defeats, the most recent of which was Sunday's 2-0 loss at Liverpool, Jokanovic's departure was confirmed on Wednesday.
And Ranieri, who won the Premier League at Leicester City in 2015-16, will replace the Serbian at Craven Cottage.
Fulham said Ranieri has signed a "multi-year" contract and he will be tasked with dragging them out of relegation trouble.
Jokanovic led Fulham back to the Premier League but results this term have been poor, a 4-2 home win over Burnley their sole success.
Chairman Shahid Khan expressed regret at the sacking of Jokanovic and thanked the former Watford boss for his efforts at the club.
"I wasn’t anticipating having to make this announcement related to Slavisa and wish the circumstances were such that I didn’t have to, but our path this season has led me to make what I know is the correct decision, at the right time, for our players, the club and our supporters," Khan said in a statement.
"Slavisa will always have my appreciation and respect for everything he did to return Fulham to top-flight football. I am hoping everyone in the Fulham family shares my heartfelt sentiments for Slavisa and joins me in wishing him success and good fortune, wherever his next stop may be."
Khan's son Tony will continue to oversee first-team player recruitment and contractual agreements in his role as vice-chairman and director of football operations, although Ranieri has been appointed manager while Jokanovic's title at the club was head coach.
"Making a change without having the right answer or succession plan was not an option, so having someone of Claudio's calibre ready to accept our challenge was comforting but, most of all, essential," Shahid Khan added.
"Claudio is risk-free and ready-made for the Premier League, and particularly so for what we need at this moment at Fulham. His recent body of work with Leicester City is literally legendary, and then you look at Claudio's experience with Chelsea and big clubs throughout Europe, and it’s pretty evident we are welcoming an extraordinary football man to Fulham football club."
Ranieri, whose former clubs include Monaco, Chelsea, Roma and Juventus, was most recently in charge of Nantes but left the post in May after a single season with the Ligue 1 side.[b]The former Leicester City boss returns to the English top flight looking to rescue the London club from a relegation scrap

Corper Dayo was someone who didn't say more than 100 words in a day. Corper Dayo was someone who never looked for trouble. Corper Dayo was someone who smiled in French Corper Dayo was someone who always seeked the face of God. We the Isaka, Port Harcourt corp members sadly bid farewell to our friend who was one of us but lost his life last week Saturday. Corper Dayo crossed the river to have a haircut in preparation for the next day (Sunday service) but unfortunately did no make it back to us after his haircut because he reached the island and accidentally slipped off the boat as he was trying to climb up the jetty leading to the community where we stay. We cried our eyes out in prayers begging God to rescue him while the searcher swept the river. Unfortunately according to the wish of God, he was only found two days after floating in the river. Corper Dayo was finally laid to rest on 2/09/2016. We say may his soul rest in perfect peace. AMEN I also use this medium to urge our fellow corpers who are posted in riverine area to be very careful and also put on your life jackets no matter how small the river may be.

– Omo n’Oba Erediauwa Akpolokpolo I is said to have been battling illness since last year – His death was announced by Chief Sam Igbe, the Iyase of Benin Kingdom The Oba of Benin, Omo n’Oba Erediauwa Akpolokpolo I, has been reported dead. His death was announced few minutes ago by the Iyase of Benin Kingdom, Chief Sam Igbe. The Great Oba of Benin Sources report that the late monarch has been battling an unknown illness since last year. The Benin Traditional Council formally announced the translation of the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba n’Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Erediauwa, to his ancestors on Friday, April 29. His translation was announced by the Prime Minister and Iyase of Benin Kingdom, Chief Sam Igbe, in the presence of other traditional Chiefs and Enigie (Dukes), with the traditional braking of native chalk at the entrance of the palace. While announcing the translation, the Iyase said: “Osorhue Bunrun. Oba Erediauwa of Benin Kingdom, the Prince if Peace, Ebo, Ayemwirhe, emini mini mini, has returned with his ancestors. May he find perfect peace with God.” A Naij correspondent in Benin reports that following the breaking of the native chalk at the main entrance of the palace, all the chiefs broke down in tears and wailed for the translated Monarch. In accordance with the Benin traditional mourning rites for a translated Monarch, every male in the kingdom is expected to shave his head throughout the mourning period that may last for up to three months, while all markets in the kingdom are to remain closed for about seven days. The Benin Crown Prince and Edaiken of Benin, Eheneden Erediauwa, who arrived at the palace at about 1:10 pm from his temporary resistance in Uselu, was formally informed of the translation of his father, before it was publicly announced. Reacting to the announcement of the translation of the Monarch, the Obadolagbonyi of Benin Kingdom, Chief Omon-Osagie Utetenegiabi, said: “Yes, it is traditional. It is customary that when a sitting Oba becomes an ancestor, translates to a greater glory. The Oba of Benin does not die because he is an institution; he mainly translates to a high glory as an ancestor. “The news is first broken to his eldest son and the immediate family which was done earlier today. And the Iyase of Benin, as the highest ranking Chief now breaks the news to the people of Benin Kingdom and the world. Iyase is the traditional Prime Minister and the bridge between the people and the royalty and that is what he has done today. “From today until the expiration of ‘Emwinekhua’ all Benin Chiefs, all chiefs that have been entitled by the Oba to wear the round bead round their necks, which is two, will now wear one. It is customary because when you see a Chief wears one bead, it shows that we are in a state of mourning. After today, we are awaiting further instructions on what to do. “Oba Eredia uwa is the Oba of Peace, the Oba who brought prosperity to his people, the Oba who understands his people. He makes sure that no one was offended, the Oba who could sit in judgment and give judgment against his own son for a commoner. It is rare. Oba Erediauwa is the best that has happened to Benin Kingdom in the last 1,600 years.” In reaction to the announcement of the Oba’s death, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state has eulogised the departed Benin Monarch, Oba Erediauwa. The Governor expressed his profound reverence for the departed Monarch in a press statement he issued and personally signed. He described the late Monarch as “an accomplished Nigerian, a seasoned bureaucrat, quintessential unifier, unique personage”. Oshiomhole said : “Our hearts are heavy, laden with pains and grief, at the announcement of the passing on to glory of Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo, Oba Erediauwa of Benin, our highly revered Oba, a distinguished Edo numero uno, an accomplished Nigerian, a seasoned bureaucrat, quintessential unifier, unique personage and exemplary Omo N’Oba, whose reign brought distinction, immense class, finesse and integrity to traditional institution in Edo state and the country at large. “His carriage comes with an élan that was peculiar with the reverence of royalty. His uncommon courage was symbolic of the can- do spirit of the Edo mind. His unity of purpose was not in doubt even as he used his revered position to promote constructive engagement amongst all shades of opinion and culture in Edo state. As a thorough-bred bureaucrat, rising to the pinnacle of his career as a Federal Permanent Secretary, he understood the dynamics and intricacies of governance. He was the alternative voice to the many voiceless in our society, calling government attention to issues of development and transparent governance, without minding whose ox is gored. He was brave, fearless, punchy and instructive in his verbal and written messages. “To us at the Edo state Government, he was our strongest supporter; both in his uncommon faith in our ability and his readiness to offer uncommon advice to sharpen public discourse in our shared commitment to transform Edo state. It gladdens our heart, therefore, that our revered Oba was alive to witness the positive transformation of Edo state under his reign, and for standing with us through thick and thin in the course of making the Edo economy a treasure to behold. Being part of that eloquent history of transformation before his reunion with his ancestors gives us further reassurance that he will occupy a special pride of place in the hereafter. “We are enveloped with a deep sense of nostalgia that our great Oba, a great- grandfather, grandfather, father, uncle and iconoclastic royal father of exemplary carriage and conduct, who sustained the dignity of the average Edo mind, has joined his ancestors. We are, however, encouraged by the fact that another great son of the Great Benin Kingdom, His Royal Highness, Edaiken N’Uselu, Crown Prince Eheneden Erediauwa, who is already showing manifest quintessential attributes of his great father, will step into his father’s big shoes. “Edo people will miss our iconoclastic royal father of the great Benin Kingdom. Nigerians and Nigeria will miss this great exemplar of a Royal Father, an Oba of distinction and integrity. Adieu until we meet to part no more. “Oba gha to kpere, ise,” the governor concluded. Oba Erediauwa was born in 1923, when in 1979 he ascended the throne of his fathers, he became the 38th Oba of Benin, traditional ruler of the Edo people in Benin City, in Nigeria. He was formerly addressed as the Prince Solomon Akenzua, and took on the title Omo n’Oba n’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Erediauwa I after taking over from his father Oba Akenzua II, in a ceremony held in Benin city, on March 23, 1979.

Reacting, ASP Egbedele, the assistant Police Public Relations Office, PPRO, Osun state Police command, explained that the matter was a minor traffic issue, adding that it has been settled.

She testified that she met her husband 14 years ago and bore him three children, adding that their major quarrel was based on the fact that she didn’t know what he’s doing for a living.
“We fought most times before I left home because I don’t know what he does for a living. He goes to his village three times a week and I don’t know the reason for this since his parents are dead and when he comes back, he would say he does not have any money. I would go to my sister to borrow money for him for his next trip. Yet, he will come back and curse me and my family and he doesn’t come home until midnight. My husband does nothing for a living. Please dissolve the marriage so that I can start my life all over again,” she said.

I pray to God to be with them all.Congratulations to u.May u starts experience favour market from today and for we corpers in embryo, May we a successful programme ahead

BENEFITS OF LOCUST BEANS...
Do you know that locust beans is a food species whose importance is recognized both regionally and internationally? In some societies on the African continent it is not an ordinary food item but a therapeutic food and a source of income. Locust bean, commonly referred to as iru by Yorubas, ‘ogiri’, ‘dawa dawa’ by Igbos, is a local seasoning or condiment used in soups and stews. A very popular soup ingredient, globally, it is referred to as African locust bean with the botanical name as Parkia biglobosa. It is not easy to look at, and the smell is unpleasant – at best. These aside, Locust Bean is the single, most significant ingredient guaranteed to take your soups, stews or mixed vegetables from just okay to great. It can be found in a wide range of environments in Africa and is primarily grown for its pods that contain both a sweet pulp and valuable seeds. The most valuable parts of the locust bean are high in lipid (29%), protein (35%), carbohydrate (16%), and is a good source of fat and calcium for rural dwellers. Locust bean product should be converted into powdery form and packaged into various sizes in plastics for easy distribution. Local research has shown that locust bean helps to promote good sight and drives away hypertension and diseases conditions like stroke and diabetes. It also contains tannins, astringent substances found in many plants. Foods rich in tannins are often recommended for treatment of diarrhoea. The portion of carob that is made into locust bean gum contains soluble fibre in the galactomannan family. Like other forms of soluble fibre, it has shown potential benefit for enhancing weight loss and controlling blood sugar levels. The African locust bean tree has also been found to possess wonders. For instance, the pulverised bark of the tree is employed in wound healing and serves as one of the ingredients used in treating leprosy. The decoction of the bark is also used as bath for fever and as a hot mouth wash to steam and relieve toothache in Cote d’Ivoire. In another result published in Science Journal based in Dakar, Senegal, researchers tried out locust beans on rats to find out whether it actually has any impact on controlling blood pressure and the result obtained showed that adequate doses of locust beans helped to decrease arterial blood pressure. The findings showed that the diastolic blood pressure measurement enjoyed more reduction than even the systolic blood pressure. It also revealed the many wonders of African locust bean tree. The pulverised bark of African locust bean tree, for instance, is employed in wound healing and serves as one of the ingredients that are used in treating leprosy. Locust beans is added to everything – not only because it tastes good and can serve as a tastier alternative to other spices cubes, but also due to its health benefits among which are vision improvement, digestion aid and much more.

The club-record signing has been the subject of criticism is recent weeks and is now aiming to appear more positive on the pitch to avoid misconceptions among fans Mesut Ozil is working on improving his body language as he fears Arsenal fans question his commitment. The German has been the subject of speculation over his future in recent weeks, with the Gunners likely to extend their Premier League title drought to 11 years as rivals Tottenham and champions-elect Leicester look set to trump them in the table. Despite registering 18 assists - the former Real Madrid man remains on course to break Thierry Henry's Premier League record of 20 in a single season - Ozil has faced criticism over his work rate and the club's record signing has taken notice. - "My goal is to make sure my body language is right," Ozil told BT Sport . "When I make a mistake, I get annoyed and you can tell from my body language. But these days I try to make sure that I don't do that anymore because in football you can make mistakes and play a bad pass. "It is more for the fans, the people who watch the game, [rather than team-mates], because they might think that I’m not fighting anymore."

While presidency explains that Nigeria improves its image with Buhari’s trips, Nigerians are not happy over their president – President Buhari has so far visited 22 countries, but only a few states inside the country President Buhari departs Nigeria for state visit. Many Nigerians will question why President Muhammadu Buhari has traveled to China as he just came back from the United States of America few days ago. During Buhari’s last trip Ayo Fayose, the governor of the Ekiti state, has even claimed that the president is visiting conferences he doesn’t understand. However, the presidency justified the trips, saying they were necessary to bring the country back on the track of development and growth.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has assured the members of the National Youth Service Corps who will be involved in the conduct of the Ife- Central state constituency by-election on Saturday of adequate security. The Resident Electoral Commissioner for the election, Nasiru Ayilara, gave this assurance while briefing journalists on the preparedness of the electoral body for the poll.
He said movement would be restricted from 8am to 4pm only in the areas where the election would be held. The seat became vacant following the death of Mr. Oladejo Makinde, who died on December 27, 2015. Makinde, who was also known as Igwe, was the minority leader of the Osun State House of Assembly and won an election into the House on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party. Ayilara, who was deployed from Niger State to oversee the by-election holding in just one local government area of Ile-Ife, said the commission had held a meeting with security agencies, adding that he had been assured by security agencies that no form of violence would be allowed during the election. He said, “We have met with all the security agencies in the state and they have assured the commission of the safety of electoral officials, voters and electoral materials. “Corps members and other electoral officials will be protected. We don’t want any of our youths to die and we also don’t want anybody, who will be involved in the conduct of the election, to die.” The REC reiterated that the election would hold in just one local government council even as he said the commission ought not to redeploy him for the election but that it did so because of the historical and political importance of the poll. Ayilara said that card reader machines would be used for accreditation, adding that accreditation and voting would be done simultaneously. The REC, who said materials had been inspected, explained that the materials would be moved to the Ife- Central state constituency on Friday. The representative of the PDP, Mr. Sunday Ademola, while speaking with journalists, expressed satisfaction with the arrangements put in place by the commission. But the representative of the All Progressives Congress, Mr. Rasaki Adeosun, expressed reservations with the delay in the movement of the election materials. He said although his party believed that INEC would be fair to all parties but maintained that the materials ought to have been moved immediately after the inspection. Adeosun said, “It is unconventional that we inspect materials today, leave them at the state secretariat of INEC and then wait till tomorrow for the materials to be moved to the field. “We have not done this before; the normal practice is to examine the materials and get them loaded into local government vehicles for movement. When something like this happens, one will be suspicious but we still want to believe that INEC will conduct a credible election.”

A 20-year-old man, Joseph Nanchang, was on Friday sentenced to three years imprisonment by an Evbouriaria Magistrates’ Court in Benin for stealing N300,000. The Prosecutor, Sgt. Olatoye Oluwaseun, told the court that the convict with others now at large committed the crime on February 23 at 18, off Muritala Mohammed Way, Benin. Oluwaseun said the convict stole the sum of N300, 000 belonging to one Mrs Victoria Owie. The convict, of no fixed address, was charged on two counts of conspiracy and stealing. The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 516 and 390 (9) of the Criminal Code, Cap. 48, Vol. II, Laws of the defunct Bendel State of Nigeria, 1976 as applicable in Edo. Nanchang, however, pleaded not guilty to the first count of conspiracy, but accepted his guilt on the second count of theft. The Magistrate, Mrs C.E. Oghuma, sentenced the convict three years imprisonment without an option of fine.

Students of the University of Lagos (UNILAG) have been asked to vacate the institution’s Akoka, Yaba campus with immediate effect. NAIJ.com’s checks in the institution revealed that some students had protested the incessant power outage in the school and poor power supply and had moved to meet with the management on Thursday, April 7, with a view to finding a lasting solution to the crisis. The police vans sighted inside UNILAG on Friday, April 8. But rather than proffer a solution to the issues raised by the students, the management of the institution, rising from an emergency meeting on Thursday, ordered the students out of the institution while other activities in the school continues. In a circular passed on Thursday, the students were asked to leave the school on or before 10.00 am on Friday, April 8 until municipal services improve. See the circular below: The circular that informed the students of the immediate shut down of its Akoka, Yaba campus. In a tweet by one of the students of the institution, about ten patrol vehicles of the Nigeria Police Force were sighted at the institution to enforce the management’s order. Over 10 patrol vehicles of @NGPoliceForce can be sighted in #UNILAG . This is not war! @ULSUunified @UnilagLife pic.twitter.com/GzhlNUlS5J

A fresh twist crept into the reconciliation between Governor Ayodele Fayose and a former Secretary of the Ekiti Peoples Democratic Party, Tope Aluko, on Tuesday, when the latter denied reconciling with Fayose. This came barely 48 hours after Fayose and Aluko jointly addressed journalists at the VIP section of the Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, on Sunday. Last year, Aluko alleged that Fayose, with support from former President Goodluck Jonathan, rigged the governorship election held on June 21, 2014. Speaking with journalists on Tuesday in Lagos, Aluko, however, alleged that he was under duress when he addressed journalists in company with Fayose. He added that the event was stage-managed by Fayose and some PDP chieftains to look like a reconciliation. He said, “I received a call from two senior members of the party. One of them is a serving senator and the other is a former governor. I was told to come to the Eko Hotel to meet with them and I went in company with my wife. “We were halfway into the discussion, which they tagged as a ‘Peace parley’. It should be noted that no reference was made to the 2014 (Ekiti) governorship election and the aftermath, including my revelation to the public about the way the election was rigged in favour of Ayo Fayose. “I was shocked to see Governor Fayose walk into the meeting at this point. I won’t want to bore you with the drama and the face-off that ensued between me and Governor Fayose at the meeting. “It is worthy of note that it was at this point that my wife barged into the meeting to inform me that she noticed the presence of pressmen downstairs, saying, ‘there is a problem’, but Fayose interrupted her and said, ‘Madam, there is no problem’. Aluko said he stood by all the allegations he had earlier made about former President Goodluck Jonathan assisting Fayose to rig the 2014 Ekiti governorship election with the provision of security operatives and funds. He also said he played along after sensing that his life might be in danger, but he refused to disclose the source of danger. Aluko declined to mention the names of the PDP chieftains, whom he said invited him to the hotel. He added, “My wife insisted and said she overheard them saying that they were called back through an SMS from Governor Fayose, saying ‘come back because T. K. Aluko is around’. “At that point, I became enraged and decided to leave the place but I noticed Governor Fayose rushing after me downstairs in a Gestapo manner. My wife was already fidgeting and was almost crying, and suddenly, I could not find her around me. “Immediately, I realised that I needed to obey to Governor Fayose’s instruction of facing the press because of the safety of my family. “One fact remains clear, at no time did I, Temitope Aluko, refute anything I had earlier said before Nigerians and the whole world about the manipulations that characterised the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State. “You will also notice the several counter allegations by Fayose and his media team that none of them has refuted all I have said, rather, the attack has been on the messenger and not the message.” Apologising to Nigerians for being naïve, Aluko said, “I will like to apologise to all Nigerians that, perhaps, accepting the invitation was a tactical error. “However, I wouldn’t have accepted to attend the meeting in the first place if I had known that Ayo Fayose would be in attendance. I only chose to attend in order to honour the party leaders’ invitation. “Finally, I need to emphasise that all that transpired at the Eko Hotel on that fateful day was an organised propaganda to stain my image and malign my integrity.” But a statement from the Special Assistant to the Ekiti State Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said the state government would not dignify Aluko with a response. Olayinka also described Aluko as ‘a perjurer and an unstable character, who speaks from both sides of his mouth’. He said, “As far as we are concerned, the All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, which would be willing to accommodate even Judas Iscariot or the notorious armed robber, Lawrence Anini, (if he were to be alive), could keep Temitope Aluko in its fold – that is their business. “We don’t want a Judas in the PDP and anywhere near the government and that has been made clear.”

[size=8pt][/size]The total number of known executions worldwide rose
by more than half last year to 1,634, the highest figure
recorded since 1989, Amnesty International said
Wednesday as Pakistan sent three more men to the
gallows.
The surge was largely fuelled by Iran, Pakistan and
Saudi Arabia, the London-based human rights
organisation said in its annual report on death
sentences and executions worldwide.
The 1,634 figure does not include China, which is
thought to have killed thousands of its own citizens.
Death penalty data is “treated as a state secret” by
Beijing, Amnesty said, as it is by Vietnam and Belarus.
Recorded executions were up by 54 percent on 2014’s
figure of 1,061.
Just three countries — Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia —
were responsible for 89 percent of the total of 1,634.
“The rise in executions last year is profoundly
disturbing,” said Amnesty secretary general Salil Shetty.
“Not for the last 25 years have so many people been put
to death by states around the world.
“Iran, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have all put people to
death at unprecedented levels, often after grossly unfair
trials. This slaughter must end.”
Pakistan lifted a six-year moratorium on the death
penalty following a school massacre by Taliban
insurgents in December 2014.
Initially it brought back hanging just for terrorist killings
but later extended it to all capital crimes.
It hanged three convicted murderers including a pair of
brothers on Wednesday, a senior prisons official told
AFP.
“Over the past year, Pakistan has vaulted to the number
three spot for recorded state executions in the world — a
shameful position no one should aspire to,” Champa
Patel, director of Amnesty’s South Asia office, told AFP,
adding the majority were not convicted of terror
offences.
Pakistan executed 326 people in 2015 while Saudi Arabia
put 158 people to death.
– Majority of countries abolitionist -Iran’s execution of
at least 977 people is at odds with its opening up to the
West after striking a deal with world powers last year on
its nuclear ambitions, Amnesty said.
“Western countries are starting to build commercial ties
and trade missions,” said James Lynch, Amnesty’s
Middle East and North Africa deputy director.
“However, human rights has been absolutely left in the
margins,” he told AFP. “That risks undermining all these
efforts.”
For the first time ever, the majority of the world’s
countries have abolished the death penalty for all
crimes.
Fiji, Madagascar, Republic of Congo and Suriname fully
abolished the death penalty in 2015, taking the total
number of countries to do so to 102.
In China, Amnesty said there were signs that the number
of executions had decreased in recent years but it could
not verify this.
In August nine crimes were removed from the list of
offences punishable by death, bringing the total down to
43.
“Executing several thousand people a year is really very
serious and China knows it would be the black sheep of
the international community if it was to release the
numbers,” Nicholas Bequelin, Amnesty’s East Asia
regional director, told AFP.
People were executed in 25 countries in 2015 by
beheading, hanging, lethal injection or shooting.
Amnesty said its reports indicated that four people in
Iran and at least five in Pakistan were executed for
crimes committed when they were aged under 18.
Worldwide, people were sentenced to death or executed
for murder, drug-related offences, corruption, armed
robbery, adultery, aggravated rape, rape, apostasy,
kidnapping and insulting the prophet of Islam.
A total of 28 people were executed in the United States.
Forms of treason, including “acts against national
security”, “collaboration” with a foreign entity,
“espionage”, “questioning the leader’s policies”,
participation in “insurrectional movement” were among
those offences worldwide punished with death
sentences.
Amnesty recorded a drop in the number of death
sentences imposed in 2015 compared to 2014, but said
this was partly due to difficulties in corroborating data.
At least 1,998 people were sentenced to death in 61
countries.
At least 20,292 people worldwide were under sentence of
death at the end of 2015.[b]The total number of known executions worldwide rose

See Linda Ikeji's reply as posted on her blog : So my darling little 'friend' Wizkid came on my IG page this morning to blast me for writing yesterday that he was given quit notice at the Lekki home he claimed he bought some years ago, which he actually rented. He threatened to beat me up...called me an ugly old bitch...(I'm ugly? lol) says I don't have a man (crying over that..) and called my mum a loser...(what a child) . Anyway, all that don't matter, people have said worse to me...what I wanted to address is the part where he said I slept with his director and he left me in a hotel...that one I will definitely want to address because some people actually believe it. That my dear friends, is a lie! Please continue... First and foremost, I've never met Wizkid one on one. I've only seen him once in real life on stage at a show a few years ago. I've never met anybody who is his director. Guess he put that line in his comments to defame me. You that mad that people now know the house is not yours? Lol. Trust me, if I knew someone was Wizkid's director, I'd rather kill myself than sleep with him or any other entertainer for that matter (except maybe he's my husband..hehe) because I know how some of these entertainers are...they kiss and tell a lot. You can't afford to be messing around in their circle. So, no, I have NEVER slept with Wizkid's director. I live a celibate life..most of the time. (Though, that has to end soon...I'm getting old and missing out on that part of life...lol) I've always been an advocate of women respecting their bodies and owning their own. And I feel sex should only happen when you're in committed relationship (that is if you can't wait till marriage) and I recommend celibacy for a long as you're not committed to someone. There's absolutely no dignity in sleeping around and messing around with different men. It's ugly and God don't like ugly. So no, I'm not that woman, and will never be that woman. Nice try, Wizkid! Having said that, I'm sure, you wonder why Wizkid is so mad at me? To be honest, I don't know either. All I know is that his beef with me started a long time ago but he decided to start bashing me online after I refused a meeting with him. A few months ago, he asked his PR people to contact me, that he wanted to talk to me. For some reason, he thought I didn't like him and I was hurting his image online. He wanted to see how I could write more positive things about him but I turned down the meeting. Not that I have anything against him, I sincerely don't! I think he's an amazing talent and one of the few music stars in Nigeria with a midas touch. So this wasn't personal. I just didn't want to meet him. If he lobbies me then it means I won't be able to write anything about him anymore...and my job is to write...about everything, including entertainers. I am cordial with some of them...many of them I have never met. I try to stay away from gatherings where they are because the more friends you make in the entertainment industry, the less you can write. And that will inadvertently affect your work. The few ones that I call acquaintances, it's hard to write about them because you feel you're cool with them and even when you write, they call you to complain. So, the fewer 'friends' I have in the entertainment industry, the better my job will be. So Wizkid can bash me all he wants...but I will continue to do my job. Maybe he thinks the more he bashes me, then I will stop writing about him? Won't work. But meanwhile, if he tells a lie about me, I will address it. LIB plans to be around for a long time...some of these people will come and go! . Thanks everyone and Wizkid fans for reading my response. Oh and by the way, did I mention that his Porsche car is also on hire purchase? Oh shit, I just mentioned that! Lol. And no, darling, you're not 25! We know your real age! Continue to have an amazing career while I watch and continue to celebrate you. Kisses

I tire oooo
