BREAKING NEWS: BOMB EXPLOSION IN BOSTON - BOKO HARAM CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY

By Charles Mgbolu
Shortly after the uproar caused
by Lilian Akiyesi who stormed
the Overcomers Church World
Outreach in Aguda, Surulere,
Lagos on Saturday, April 13 to
stop a wedding service about
to make her husband Solomon
Akiyesi and Ms Uloma Agwu
man and wife, Overcomers
church released a statement
signed by Chika Moses a
media representative of the
church partly condemning
Lilian’s actions.
The statement reads…
“What was meant to be a day
of celebration – the wedding
ceremony of one of our
members Uloma Agwu to Mr.
Solomon Akiyesi at the
Overcomers Church World
Outreach in Aguda – was
sullied by an ugly incident.
Immediately following the
praise and worship session and
before the officiating
commenced, a woman who
claims to be the lawful wife of
the groom disrupted the
ceremony. She was
accompanied by people who
sought only to wreck havoc in
the church. They were unruly
and violent.
“We regret the ugly series of
events that followed this brash
display. At the Overcomers
Church, we do our due
diligence to ensure a couple set
to wed is right in the eyes of
the law and in the eyes of God.
To the best of our knowledge,
Mr. Akiyesi, was unmarried.
“The Overcomers Church
World Outreach regrets that
the woman who disrupted the
wedding chose such a time to
do so. There is no ideal
situation here, but it would
have been right that she bring
the case before church officials
in a manner befitting a house
of worship. This was not the
case.
“The groom, Mr. Akiyesi, has
apologized to the Church, his
bride-to-be, Ms. Agwu, and
family and friends that
gathered for the wedding.
“This happened because I tried
to cut corners,” he said. He
admits he did not properly
dissolve his previous marriage
to his first wife and says he is
determined to do what is
necessary to rectify the awful
situation. We apologize for the
ugly scene this caused at our
Church and apologize to those
who witnessed it. It is not
exemplary behavior and not
who we are as a Church.
“The General Overseer of the
Overcomers Church World
Outreach, Bishop N.E. Moses,
addressed the congregation
after order was restored.
“Bishop Moses prayed for the
couple, Mr. Akiyesi and Ms.
Agwu, but he did not legally
wed them – no documents
were signed so as not to
disobey the law. Mr. Solomon
Akiyesi and Ms Uloma Agwu
will not be legally joined
together until the matter is
properly settled by lawful
authorities.
“Our Bishop has urged us to
take a lesson from this and be
careful of the decisions we
make in life, so the
consequences don’t hurt us in
the future. It is a lesson we
take well.
“We stand by Ms. Agwu. She
has been a dedicated member
of the church and we will
continue to support her and
Mr. Akiyesi. It is our hope and
prayer that in all of this, God is
glorified and His house of
worship above reproach.
After reactions poured online,
with a huge chunk
condemning the church’s
stand on the matter.
Overcomers Church has issued
fresh statements.
“This is a follow up to our
statement from Saturday, April
13, following the disrupted
wedding of Mr. Solomon
Akiyesi to Ms. Uloma Agwu.
“In light of the media mayhem
that has erupted with tabloids
spinning their own version of
events, we find it necessary to
make a final statement on the
matter and hope that listening
ears and hearts will
understand the decisions we
have made as a church.
“Let’s start by addressing some
of the rumours that have been
perpetuated on several gossip
blogs and tabloids.
“Mr. Akiyesi is not a member
of the Overcomers Church
World Outreach. We heard no
word of an existing marriage to
Mrs. Lilian Akiyesi.
“Many have pointed out that
perhaps the Overcomers
Church failed to do its due
diligence in investigating Mr.
Akiyesi thoroughly. We
concede the point and will
ensure that our Marriage
Committee is equipped with a
travel fund that will allow
travel to visit with family
members of engaged couples
and ensure both the
prospective brides and grooms
are in fact who they say they
are.
“Ms. Uloma Agwu is a staunch
member of the Overcomers
Church. We regret that she
was deceived by Mr. Akiyesi
who lied, not only to her, but
her family and Church as well.
There is however no
dishonesty on her part. She
was unaware that a Mrs.
Akiyesi already existed.
“Furthermore, Ms. Agwu is not
pregnant, as published by
tabloids. That is a vicious lie
that we hope to clear up.
“No semblance of a wedding
between her and Mr. Akiyesi
took place at the Overcomers
Church on Saturday. No vows
were said, no rings exchanged
and no marriage certificate
handed out and the Church
has NO INTENTION of
endorsing such a union.
“We respect the sanctity of
Marriage at the Overcomers
Church and will continue to
uphold what is right and
virtuous about the institution
of marriage.
“We do not endorse divorce
and work instead to counsel
troubled marriages and build
stronger unions. Those who
know us, know that.
“Which brings us to the final
misconception. The
Overcomers Church does not
fault Mrs. Lilian Akiyesi’s right
to put a stop to a marriage that
is not permissible in the eyes
of the law and of God. As a
matter of fact, we thank her for
doing so and saving our sister,
Ms. Agwu, from what would
have been a disastrous union.
“What we DO NOT endorse
and will not stand for as a
church is a group of people
bringing a fight into the House
of God. We will protect and
defend our house of worship.
“We learned that Mrs Akiyesi
had arranged for police
personnel days before the
wedding and was already
present at the Church hours
before the wedding ceremony
started. The right thing here
would have been to alert
church officials and present
her case in a manner befitting
a house of worship.
“The wedding would not have
taken place, and Mr. Akiyesi
and his wife would have been
sent along to sort out their
lives together; which is what
we have done now.
“We strongly disapprove of the
way Mrs. Akiyesi and her
family and friends handled the
matter. It brought shame to
this house of worship. We also
strongly abhor the actions Mr.
Akiyesi, as well. His deception
brought shame and disgrace,
not only to the house of God,
but also to his wife and Ms.
Uloma Agwu.
“Let us state in no uncertain
terms, the relationship
between Ms. Agwu and Mr.
Akiyesi was dissolved
yesterday afternoon after all
the facts were brought to light.
“We stand by our decision to
pray for Mr. Akiyesi and Ms.
Agwu following the ugly
incident. No matter the
wrongdoing, we commit all
things into the hands of God,
the ultimate judge. We will
continue to support Ms. Agwu
and pray for peace for all
parties involved. We pray that
God reaches into every heart
and brings healing, so we can
all move in our spiritual walk.

Chinua Achebe: Ogidi man
first, Ogidi man last

April 13, 2013

Achebe: Exit of a literary giant
By Nnamdi Ken Amobi
The departure of High Chief
Chinua Achebe (Ugo belu n’oji
– The Eagle on the Iroko) is
painful to many Nigerians and
peoples all over the world. For
the Ogidi nation, it is
particularly agonizing. Our
loss is immeasurable. As we
weep, the cry has been: can we
ever replace this man? The
“Eagle on the Iroko” has
fluttered its fatigued wide
wings and flown away; and
disappeared. The man that put
Ogidi on the world map of
literature and culture has
joined his ancestors.
Ogidi is an Igbo nation with a
rich well-documented history
dating back approximately one
half of a millennium. The town
is well known in and around
Anambra State. It is town of
approximately 200,000 proud
and productive people;
currently mostly Christians
but with rich and valuable
vestiges of traditional religion.
It is the headquarters of the
Idemili North Local
Government area; with
neighboring towns of Nkpor,
Oze, Obosi, Umuoji,
Ogbunike, Umunachi,
Umudioka and Abatete.
Mention Ogidi, and what
comes to mind to most people
in the state is the famous
yearly Nwafor Festival.
But google Ogidi and the name
Chinua Achebe pops up with
it. It is Chinua Achebe that is
now most associated with
Ogidi, and for that Ogidi
Inwele indigenes owe
incalculable gratitude to their
illustrious son, now departed.
Late Prof Chinua Achebe
Chinua Achebe has gone to
commune with Ezechuamagha
the progenitor of the Ogidi
nation. Oral history tells us
that Ezechuamagha is the
father of Inwele; and Inwele is
the father of Ogidi. This
historical teaching was
embraced and given resonance
by Chinua Achebe, the
historian and Chinua Achebe
the anthropologist.
In Ogidi culture, and indeed
Igbo culture, the belief is that
famous people are demigods;
demigods are deified mortal
and do not die, they merely
return to their ancestors.
In 1985 when Igwe Amobi III
of Ogidi joined his ancestors,
one tribute that stood out
prominently was that written
by Chinua Achebe. Chinua
Achebe, in the characteristic
style of the master wordsmith
himself, penned a glowing
tribute to Igwe Amobi III at
Igwe’s funeral in 1985. The
“Eagle on the Iroko” prayed
and dedicated the soul of the
departed Ogidi ruler to
Ezechumagha.
Now another colossus has
departed, it is our turn to do
the same for Professor Chinua
Achebe. We send our fervent
supplications to our great
progenitor to receive Chief
Chinua Achebe listen to him,
guide and protect him.
Achebe will dutifully and
willingly carry our message to
Ezechuamagha to intervene in
the currently troubled affairs
of Ogidi. Presently in Ogidi,
the “arrow of God” may have
been miss-directed; the
ebullient and proud Ogidi man
is “no longer at ease”; the
center is not holding securely,
even though “things have not
fallen apart” completely. Ogidi
has not had an Igwe since the
departure of Igwe Amobi IV in
1998. All manners of intrigue
and acrimony have bedeviled
the emergence of the next
Igwe. Persons both qualified
and unqualified have laid claim
to the ancient throne that have
been in existence since 1904.
We need Ezechuamagha to
intervene.
Professor Chinua Achebe was
born in Ogidi in 1930. His
early life experiences were
shaped and sharpened from
exposure and interactions with
the rich and admired Ogidi
culture. His magnum opus,
“Things Fall Apart” is
undoubtedly influenced by
Ogidi culture. If you like the
African culture as narrated in
“Things Fall Apart;” you will
also like Ogidi culture.
Professor Achebe was indeed a
proud Ogidi man. His
Christianity did not becloud
his acceptance of Ogidi
culture. He was a onetime
National President General of
Ogidi Union and served the
community creditably with a
high sense of pride. He fully
accepted the Ogidi culture:
became initiated into all
traditional adolescent groups;
became a member of the Ogidi
Age-grade of Government;
took the Ogidi ozo title, got
inducted into the Ogidi Ndi-
Ichie society and wears the
symbolic red cap with pride.
To cap it all, he was appointed
a member of Ichie Ume, an
Ogidi High Chief; one honor he
accepted with grace and
gratitude.
The courage, candor and
character you see in Chief
Achebe, is symptomatic of the
resolve of the many Ogidi
people. It is the same dogged
resolve exhibited by the
fictional Okonkwo in “Things
Fall Apart.” Christianity came
to Onitsha in 1857; even
though Ogidi is less than ten
kilometers from Onitsha, it
took more than twenty years
for Christian Evangelists to
fully penetrate and reach
converts in Ogidi. The reason?
Ogidi man was opinionated,
dogged, and proud of his
heritage and beliefs. Doesn’t
that remind you of Okonkwo
in “Things Fall Apart?”
Doesn’t that remind you of
Chinua Achebe, the man?
The last published work of
Professor Chinua Achebe
“There was a Country, a
personal history of the Biafra.”
has generated a lot comments
both in agreement and in
disagreement. The truth is the
man wrote his personal
opinion whether you agree or
not.
But what is certain is that this
book was written with pride
not prejudice; pride about
being an Igbo man and pain
about the recollections of what
his Igbo people suffered during
the Biafran War; and not
prejudice against any
particular persons or ethnic
group. The tone and tenor of
that work is vintage Achebe;
he was never a timid writer, he
calls it as he sees it.
“The Eagle on the Iroko” was
an Ogidi man first; before we
all knew him as the world’s
master story teller, the
renowned master wordsmith
that reshaped the English
language to accommodate Igbo
voices and Ogidi concepts.
Achebe is Ogidi man last; it is
in Ogidi that his remains will
be committed to mother earth.

I regret being a divorcee –

Showtime People
BENJAMIN NJOKU
Two things are bound to
attract you to Monalisa Chinda
whenever you are privileged to
engage her in a conversation.
They are her frankness and
humility. These attributes
played out last week as
Showtime Celebrity took her
on a trip into her past, her
present and perhaps, her
future. For the first time, Lisa
bares her mind on a number of
issues bothering on her love
life, crashed marriage and
accomplishments. Chiefly, she
confirms that she has found
love again, not ruling out
however, the possibility of
giving marriage a second
chance. Enjoy!!!
Find love again
Do you still believe in
love ?
I believe in
love. Love is
the reason for
our existence.
It’s really not
enough if you
want to get
something
done, you
have to do
away with
that emotion
and be real.
Are you
religious?
I’m from a religious
background. I ‘m an Anglican
and all the moral teachings I
learnt while I was growing up
are still there till date. While I
was seven, I was a member of
my church choir . I attended
an Anglican school,
Archdeacon Memorial
Grammar School, it’s a
convent school. I’m quite
religious.
How did you feel when
your father was
murdered?
Every day that passes by, I
think of that man. God bless
his soul. He was the reason,
I’m doing what I am doing at
the moment. My late dad was a
philanthropist. He would give
out the last money in his
pocket to those who do not
have. I took after my Dad,
whereas my mum was a career
woman.
My dad ensured that his
children were well taken care
of, in all ramifications. He was
a good cook and he spent
greater part of his life in
Germany. As far as I’m
concerned, my dad was a
German. He was always in the
forefront of ensuring that his
children were well catered for.
But my mum was a career
woman before she retired.
We learnt that you are
planning to go into
marriage again. Is it true?
I would love to remarry. In
fact, I’m designed to be under
a man. I’m not going to lie that
I like this ‘single mother
nomenclature. But whereby
there is no one at the moment,
one is bound to get used to the
situation. It’s not a ‘do- or -die
affair’ because I have been
there before, anything I’m
going to do now,it has to be
done right.
I’m not in the school of
thought, where the first one
happened and perhaps, the
second one. No, any bold step
I have to take in settling down
again, it has to be right. I’m
not ready to make another
mistake. But I will definitely
remarry. I believe in the
principles of marriage.
Whether you like it or not,
marriage is a better option.
How soon are you
planning to settle down?
I honestly don’t know about
that, and I can’t tell for now.
Have you found love
again?
It’s neither here nor there. I’m
a lover and I love to love.
It was rumoured recently
that you have found love
again?
Is there anything wrong with
that? I just replied you that I
love to love. What else do you
want to know.
Your fans would want to
know if there is any man
in your life at the
moment?
Yes, there is a man in my life.
…Lanre Nzeribe right?
No comment. This is my
private life.
People are alleging that
you are pregnant for him?
You can see that I’m not
pregnant. Naturally, I’m not
pregnant for anybody.
What do you regret most
about your past?
One thing I regret most is the
fact that I am divorced. Where
I come from, I’m the first
daughter. I’m from a royal
family, it has never been on
record in my family that the
first daughter will walk out of
her matrimonial home. But it
was a matter of life and death,
otherwise, I would have
stayed back and make my
marriage work. I tried to make
it work, but it takes two people
to tango.
That’s the only thing I regret,
having to raise my child
without the father. It’s a bit
painful. But I have to live with
it. It’s better that way than to
expose my little daughter to all
sorts of domestic violence. It
will definitely disorient her and
affect her upbringing. She will
be dis-functional. God knows
the best. May be, I should
have been more careful.
Monalisa Chinda
With such shocking
experience, what would
you say life has taught
you?
I’ m a bit stronger and wiser
now than before. I have known
how not to get involved in
anything emotional again. If
you are emotional even in a
relationship, you don’t get to
think. One shouldn’t allow
her emotion to overrule her
sense of reasoning.
I have understood what it
means to be patient to
persevere and also, to be
careful with people around me.
If somebody around you is
your very good friend, you end
up finding that the person is
actually an enemy in disguise.
I have learnt all of that because
I have been alone. While my
marriage was intact, I was not
keeping friends. After I’m
through with my work, I
usually retire to my house. But
since I’m alone, and having to
mix up with a lot of people, I
have realised that I have to be
very careful and free-minded
and at the same time, be
myself.
In the midst of all these
challenges, what would
you say has kept you
going?
I’m a very strong woman, and
open-minded. I know who I
am. I’m a Godly person, but
I’m not a perfectionist. If I do
something wrong, I will always
find a way to show remorse
and repent of whatever sin I
might have committed. That
has kept me going. I’m highly
determined and focused. I do
not go by what people say
about me.
If your ex- comes back to
you today, will you accept
him again?
God forbid. He’s a closed
chapter in my life.
Does it mean your little
daughter is not missing
her father?
She doesn’t know her father .
She was barely a year when
our marriage crashed. I think
she will ask some day.
Share your experience
with us as a Glo
ambassador?
It has been rewarding for me.
Activities always come up here
and there, going around,
talking about the brand. Glo
has made a long lasting mark
in the country.
How do you describe
yourself?
I’m just the girl-next-door. I
don’t have many ears around
me, I try to be humble. I want
people to be able to reach out
to me. I’m not a difficult
person. I’m an easy-going lady.
You recently premiered
your latest movie,
Weekend Getway, What’s
the movie all about?
First of all, the
premiere was
successful. I
thank God for
that. A lot of
people turned out
to show their
support. The
movie was
produced by
myself ,Ini Edo
and Emem Isong.
It was directed by
Desmond Elliot.
It paraded A-list
actresses, both
young and old
ones in the industry. We had
to create a platform where up
and coming actors star
alongside seasoned actors
which made the film more
unique. The movie is already
selling out in the cinemas.
Between last Friday when it
was premiered and yesterday
( last week), we have made
substantial amount of money
from the box office alone. I
also acted in the movie.
What are your recent
movies?
Kiss &Tell which was produced
in 2010 but premiered in 2011.
My second movie, Cat Walk
was shot in 2010, but
premiered in February, 2012.
My third movie, Weekend
Getway, premiered forth-night
ago.
Why did you go into
production of movies?
Producing has always been at
the back of my mind as an
actress. In fact, I should speak
the minds of a lot of people
who are in the art. They want
to diversify and break new
grounds and to also show the
various things they can do.
Naturally, we all want to try
our hands in other things as
long as it’s within the genre
of entertainment. That’s the
reason I wanted to do
something different. Right
now, I’m even going into live
theatre which is already dying
in this country. Thespians like
myself and a few other people
are trying to revive the dying
live theatre culture in the
country.
Was it why you staged a
dance-drama, “Dance for
Life’ last December?
Yes, because the first outing
was actually sponsored by
myself. That’s why I want to
see how I can get corporate
bodies to partner with me for
the the second edition of the
dance project which I want it
to come up on May29.
Do you dance?
As a Thespian, we all do the
three arms of theatre including
Dance , Music and Acting.
These are the three arms of
theatre, so you must be able to
do the three and then,
specialize in one.
Last December outing,
was it the first time you
actually involved in
dance ?
Yes, it was the first time I
would dance in public. I’ve
never done that before in my
life . I only danced while I was
in the university. As an artiste,
we were involved in all sorts of
performances way back in
school.
How did you feel that
fateful day?
I had mixed-feelings because
of the massive turn-out of
celebrities. Again, it was
because of the fact that a lot of
people enjoyed themselves and
they didn’t want to go home
again. So, I was in between
rolling myself on the floor with
tears of joy and also, praying
that this kind of dance project
should continue. It was a
divine feeling.
Did the project actualise
your dream of reviving
live theatre in Nigeria?
Yes, I’ve always wanted to do
exactly that. I’ve always
wanted to find an opportunity
to revive the dying live theater
in the country. People look at
dance as a non-productive act,
but I don’t think so because
dance is even more vigorous
than acting. You have to love
the art, love theatre and
singing before you can be able
to have a grasp of the
message. The performer on
stage is trying to understand
the message being put across
through dance.
Since you delved into
movie production what
has been your challenges?
It’s been a good experience,
and also, knowing that I’m
getting older, I need to step
aside for the emerging
actresses to excel. But even at
that, it’s really difficult for
them. I think some of the fresh
actresses are joining
Nollywood for different
reasons and probably not for
the love of the industry. They
just have this silly idea that if I
hit the screen, people would
see me and like my face as
well. It’s not done like that.
If you call for an audition
today, and about four
thousand people show up, you
will be shocked to find out that
not up to five of them have
what it takes to be an actress.
The five people would have
rigorous screening before they
are able to deliver their lines.
That also is a very big
challenge. That’s why we keep
recycling a lot of known faces
even when we are getting older
and tired. We still try to look
slim and young, competing
favourably with the younger
ones.
Do you intend to go solo in
your next movie?
Yes, I will like to go solo in my
next movie just to see what it’s
like not wanting to do the
movie with anybody else. But I
will still engage seasoned
directors to direct my movie.
But I want to be the solo
financier and solo producer o f
my next movie. That will
happen before the end of this
year.
We learnt you are
planning to launch a
perfume line?
Yes, I’ve already started and
I’m planning to do a launch of
the perfume in future. The
product is called Monalisa
Mcold Beauty Products. That’s
the brand name I’m using for
now. I have a factory outside
Lagos where the fragrances are
produced. They took samples
of my skin to test if the
products are good for human
consumption. We are
producing body cream, age
defining hand creams, body
mix for men and women and
soap.

Eleven days after Nigeria
got her political
independence on October 1,
1960, the Sardauna of
Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello
said, as was carried by the
Parrot newspaper on
October 12, 1960:
"The new nation called
Nigeria should be an estate
of our great grandfather
Othman Dan Fodio. We
must ruthlessly prevent a
change of power. We use the
minorities in the north as
willing tools and the south
as a conquered territory and
never allow them to rule
over us and never allow
them to have control over
their future."

solomon111: Very good move by the FG.
The FG are doing their best to promote Nigeria's image,some idiotts are trying to destroy it.
Nigeria is not the only country with poor people.

Stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ogun to investigate alleged
rape of two minors by
pastor
April 13, 2013 | 11:10 am
Federal government should as a matter of urgency deal or give amnesty to this Animals in human forms, this ugly occurencies is a big challenge to parents raising their female children in the South-west Nigeria.......... Child rap.e or molestation is evil and should condemned in totality

Ogun State Government,
yesterday, said that it
had begun an investigation of
the alleged rape of two minors
by the proprietor of the Light
of Hope Orphanage Home in
Akute, Ifo Local Government
area of Ogun State simply
identified as pastor Atude.
This was disclosed by the
State commissioner for
Women Affairs and Social
Development, Mrs. Elizabeth
Sonubi.
According to Sonubi, the
government will not fold its
arms and watch some
elements under whatever
guise bastardise its
programmes on care for
children in the State.
”Shortly after the allegation
was brought to the knowledge
of the Ministry, we
immediately swung into action
by directing the Child
Protection Network
Committee, which has
responsibility to handle such
matters to commence full
investigations.
”No stone would be left
unturned to get to the root of
the matter and if he is found
guilty, the proprietor would be
sanctioned accordingly.
“The Ministry has commenced
full scale investigations into
the matter and if found guilty,
we will take immediate and
necessary actions against the
proprietor.
”We also plan to visit the
orphanage to interview
children in the Home and if
need be, relocate them. We
shall get to the root of the
matter.”
There were guidelines given by
the Ministry which prospective
proprietors of Children Home
are expected to follow to
ensure that the children were
properly taken care of and
protected at all times.
”I enjoined the public to feel
free and report any case of
misdemeanor to the Ministry,
and I assured you that the
Senator Ibikunle Amosun-led
adminis-tration remained
committed to the welfare of all
and sundry in the State.”

Eleven days after Nigeria
got her political
independence on October 1,
1960, the Sardauna of
Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello
said, as was carried by the
Parrot newspaper on
October 12, 1960:
"The new nation called
Nigeria should be an estate
of our great grandfather
Othman Dan Fodio. We
must ruthlessly prevent a
change of power. We use the
minorities in the north as
willing tools and the south
as a conquered territory and
never allow them to rule
over us and never allow
them to have control over
their future."
Sanusi what again do you want? Northerns are their own enemy, they should stop blaming the government headed by southerner

"He said the attack by the
insurgents had killed more
Muslims than Christians and
had disrupted the livelihood of
millions of others.
Aliyu listed some high profile
casualties of the insurgents as
the Shehu of Borno, the Emir of
Fika, the Emir of Kano and
hundreds of Muslim clerics,
adding that the CAN president's
comments were misplaced."
