Politics / Senator Abaribe Ask That Buhari Be Summoned Concerning Fuel Scarcity by Halleydavid: 6:04pm On Nov 24, 2015
Seriously, Democracy is kinda bad for Africa, Nigerians Especially, Gow can a sitting senator ask that the president be summoned, That statement lacks respect for the office of the president.
So today plenary, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, a PDP senator representing Abia South asked that the House summon President Buhari who also doubles as the Minister of Petroleum resources to come and explain why there's fuel scarcity in the country.

According to him, since Buhari is the Minister in charge of Nigeria's Petroleum resources, he should be made to answer all questions bothering on that sector.

Politics / APC Kogi State Govenorship Aspirant Wed's Secretly To A Divorcee by Halleydavid: 5:12pm On Nov 09, 2015
Worried by his single status, the All Progressives Congress Kogi State Governorship Candidate, Prince Abubakar Audu, has finally dumped his new wife for Hajia Halima Alfa, at a marriage held in the early hours of Sunday 8-11-2015, in Ankpa.

It would be recalled that the two time governor’s bid to marry from Alh Salisu Mariga’s family of Ayingba, some few weeks ago met a brick wall.

But disturbed by the several questions his kinsmen have continuously asked him about his marital status, Prince Audu, has finally settled for Hajia Halima Alfa. She was a two time Commissioner when he was governor of the state.

Hajia Alfa, until her joining the APC, was a member of the PDP and a Member of SURE P, a position she used to her advantage to make enough money.
She few weeks ago, divorced her former husband of over two decades.

The marriage with Prince Audu was done secretly amongst family members, a source in the Audu’s campaign organisation disclosed is an added advantage for the guber hopeful as Hajia Alfa’s financial muscle, he added would aid the ambition of the Ogbonicha Prince.

Prince Audu has had over five failed marriages. He recently married an eighteen year old half cast of Benue origin. But worried by her under age status and the negative public perception, her status was generating and the negative tendencies it was causing politically, Prince Audu was forced to go for Hajia Alfa.

Prince Abubakar Audu hopeful is known to have contested the governorship of the state in 1991, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 and now with a new wife.

Politics / Suswam Loses Bid To Stop Probe by Halleydavid: 4:55pm On Nov 09, 2015
A former governor of Benue, Mr Gabriel Suswam, on Monday lost his bid to stop the probe instituted against him by Gov. Samuel Ortom at the state’s High Court. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ortom constituted an investigative panel to determine the actual state of indebtedness of the state and to verify government’s assets.

Suswam had dragged Ortom and the commission to court, seeking leave of the court to disband and set aside the Administrative Commission of Inquiry instituted against him. He averred that the commission was incapable of exercising judicial powers and lacked constitutional powers to investigate or adjudicate upon the issues submitted to it for inquiry.

NAN reports that the commission was expected to make findings of those responsible for lease or allocation of real property belonging to the Benue Government public. Suswam in his application alleged that the commission was set up to witch-hunt and smear his name and destroy his legacy.

He had claimed that his administration was transparent and rendered periodic account of its stewardship to the state throughout his eight years in office. The former governor argued that the resources of the state were judiciously used and that the impact could be seen all over the state.

He, therefore, prayed the court to grant his application by quashing the commission.

It will be recalled that the state’s Chief Judge, Justice Iorhemen Hwande, had on Oct. 12, ordered a stay of proceedings on the commission, following Suswam’s suit.

But giving his ruling on the suit on Monday, Justice Adam Onum, vacated the order on the commission and ordered resumed sitting of the commission with immediate effect. Onum declared that the commission could issue letters of summon on individuals.

He, however, agreed with the applicant that

So, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce today decided to talk about how he started small and revealed on twitter that his father borrowed him N20, 000 in 1980 to start his business, " Silverbird Group" which would celebrating 35th anniversary this year November 21. According to him, his success story shows that one needs not steal to make it in Nigeria, He got more than he bargained for as people slammed him greatly for lying and analyzing the equivalent of that money 35 years ago.

Not happy with people's response, he simply told anyone with evidence of him stealing to present it. Well Mr Bruce, we might not have "paper" evidence but we sure do have "remembrance' evidence against you. Maybe you have forgotten your days as DG of NTA. See some reactions after the cut...

The DSS has successfully restricted former NSA Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retd), movement and held hin under house arrest at his John Kadia Street, Asokoro, Abuja residence. We also learnt that the DSS has increased the number of Security operatives monitoring the residence of the Former NSA. All vehicular traffic going in and out of the street is searched thoroughly by the Security Operatives.
“The operatives have not entered the main house where the former NSA lives. They are still at the gate as we speak. They are also at the two ends of the street”.
“Every vehicle that enters or leaves the street is thoroughly searched. Even the boot is searched to ensure that he does not escape hiding in a car boot”.
“His lawyers are likely to ask for an extension of the two weeks given him by the Federal High Court to go abroad for his medicals. This is because a week is almost gone now due to his house arrest”.
“On Wednesday, he had got his boarding pass – Lufthansa. He was simply advised not to travel on that day because he got hints that security operatives were waiting for him at the airport”.
“Then on Thursday morning, as early as possible, they were in his house and have remained there since”.

Politics / Sambo Dasuki: Buhari Is Abusing Power Like He Did Before by Halleydavid: 2:48pm On Nov 06, 2015
Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has came down on President Buhari for his alleged abuse of power. He made this known in an interview by Premium Times, Dasuki said president collaborated with his party to torment Nigerians. Speaking on his fresh ordeal with the SSS, He noted that the way the security outfit was handling the matter was exactly how things were poorly handled in the past which then led to the Boko Haram insurgency.

According to him, the SSS of taking laws into their hands instead of following the legal way of doing things stressing that it is for such reason that makes cases in Nigeria remain stagnant. the embattled former NSA accused the security agency of violating the law and harassing him when the case against him was already before a court disclosing that they were determined to re-arrest him without any court warrant or fresh charges.

He revealed how the SSS invited a former governor of Adamawa state, Boni Haruna, who stood as his surety in court, and intimidated him. Dasuki said:
“They brought Boni Haruna to my house yesterday asking him to invite me to go with them just to clarify something. I told them that since this matter is in court, I am not under obligation to deal with them and advised them to go to court if they have any issue related to the case.
“We were also in power and if we had abused it the way they are doing now, they would never have been here… it is unfortunate.
“The way the SSS is handling the matter was exactly how things were poorly handled in the past that then threw up the Boko Haram insurgency.
“Instead of following the legal way of doing things, some people decided to take the laws into their hands and see where we are today.”

Romance / 5 Signs Of A Potential Abusive Relationship by Halleydavid: 5:42pm On Nov 05, 2015
No one ever plans or longs to enter into abusive relationships. and its not only women who get abused in relationships, Men most times also get abused in relationships, and its effects is often lingering in the minds of the victims and most times have psychological effects on the victims. In fact, many people especially women who've escaped abusive relationships swear to themselves that they will never get into another one, but unfortunately most of them tend only to find themselves becoming victims of abuse once again.

Sadly, it takes an average of five to seven acts of violence before a woman leaves her abuser that's if she has the courage. because most people endure abusive relationships not because they want to, but because they do not have the courage and strength to leave and forge ahead in life So, why not plan to avoid entering into an abusive relationship in the first place? It's easier to avoid an abusive relationship if you're able to detect the early signs. A path to a safer, healthier and happier life often starts with a bit of knowledge. If your partner displays the following behaviors, it's possible you're in an abusive relationship.

Physical Violent exhibition : Now these has to be the way he acts phsically towards you or anyone when he is angry or pushed over. Some men pound on doors, throw things, destroy propertise, slam doors or cause physically injuries to themselves. these to me are very dangerous signs of a violent man. most people will see it as the normal male show off, but its not!. some even go as far as slapping their partners or beating them up. If you have a partner who exhibits all these characteristics, just know you have to run out of the relationship as fast as possible or seek help for your partner

Psychological Abuse : this is referred to as the emotional abuse or mental abuse, it is a form of abuse characterized by a person subjecting or exposing another to behavior or words that may result in psychological trauma, including anxiety, chronic depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder like Name calling, Yelling, Insulting the person, Threatening the person or threatening to take away something that is important to them, Imitating or mocking the person, Swearing at them, Ignoring, Isolating the person, Excluding them from meaningful events or activities. Psychological Abuse is the worst kind of abuse to face in a relationship because it affects the mindset and also your inner thoughts and feelings as well as exert control over your life. You may feel uncertain of the world around you and unsafe in your own home. it has the greatest ability to trigger one to destroy ones self


Constant Jealousy And Controlling Habit; Constant jealousy by ones spouse makes one very edgy and unnecessarily self conscious. it prevents one from letting loose and being free with other people. merging jealousy and control habits in a relationship cause alot of harm than good and brings about abuse in relationships.If your partner is excessively possessive, calls constantly, or visits unexpectedly, yo need to start thinking fast and find a solution to it, most people will term it as a romantic gesture, but excess of it is bad and in time will cause tension in a relationship. No one is comfortable with constant intense interrogation about who you talked to and where you were, checks mileage on the car, keeps all the money or asks for receipts, and insists you ask for permission to go anywhere or do anything.

Blame Game Attitude. A partner who never accepts their wrongs and always has one to blame for everything is very dangerous to be around, someone else always gets to be blamed for their mistakes never them. The boss, family, Friends and even you, it's always someone else's fault if anything goes wrong. and also blame everyone for being responsible for their feelings also especially when angry.

Insensitive And Selfishness: A partner who never cares how one feels at all times is very bad to be with, someone who is always out for himself or herself and never minding how the next person feels is a danger sign. even during sex, some partners use force never caring how the partner feels.


There are a lot more signs of a violent partner but these few listed above are the core ones I feel one should always be on the look out for, either you end the relationship or make your partner seek for help. you can add yours too if you feel I left out an important point

Celebrities / Adele Accused Of Copying The Lyrics Of Her Smash Hit 'hello' by Halleydavid: 1:06pm On Nov 03, 2015
Adele is storming the charts and smashing records with her brand new hit Hello. But the power ballad has left a pocket of music fans less than impressed, as she has been accused of copying a song by US singer Tom Waits. According to fans of his, the 27-year-old British star has ripped off lyrics from his 1970s hit Martha, with words similar although clearly not exactly the same. His song has the same theme as hers: a former flame calling a past lover, and in the track he sings:

'Hello, hello there, is this Martha? This is old Tom Frost / And I am calling long distance, don't worry 'bout the cost / 'Cause it's been forty years or more, now Martha please recall / Meet me out for coffee, where we'll talk about it all.'

Adele's Hello begins in a similar way, as she croons:

'Hello, it's me / I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet / To go over, everything / They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing.'

While the words to each song aren't quite the same, there is said to be a markedly similar theme. To me, they are both totally different. What do you think.

Politics / An Open Letter To President Buhari By Ali Baba by Halleydavid: 11:26am On Nov 03, 2015
Nigerian’s veteran comic and entrepreneur, Ali Baba wrote an open letter to the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, in it he reminded him of his promises to tackle corruption. Ali Baba insists that Buhari has changed and is not fighting corruption like he said he would.

Read full letter…
“Mr President… I am a Nigerian comedian. I have done it for over 25 years. However, I am also a writer, a poet, father, a photographer, real estate investor, oil and gas player, motivational speaker, brand catalyst, social media junkie, ideas generator and lover of printed materials. I also have been a social, economic, political and general observer of trends.
My opinion may not be backed up by a professional calling like that of the people who parade themselves around you. I do not want political appointment, I have said no to offers before. You may want to ask my father, OBJ. I say it as it is and if you ask him he will also tell you what the consequences of not listening will be. Many now regret not listening.
Fight corruption like you are doing now and punish all who have enriched themselves by defrauding this country. Confiscate all their properties. Withdraw their national honours, if they got any. Blacklist companies, banks and financial institutions that were used as conduit for robbing the state of her funds.
Jail the people who dipped their hands in our pensions fund, charge them for the deaths of people who died on the queue waiting for accreditation while someone was lounging on their hard earned sweat. Prosecute whoever failed to carry out the ruling of all the justices who sat at the Supreme Court that directed that Justice Salami be reinstated but nothing was done. Strengthen the security agencies. Jail policemen who abuse their powers.
Lock up military men who cross their boundaries. In short as you have started tackling corruption follow it to the end and our country will get back to reckoning in the comity of nations. By the way, your line used during elections is not working again. You lost the phone?” Alibana wrote

Politics / Thinking Of Tomorrow?, What About Now! by Halleydavid: 2:44pm On Oct 19, 2015
So this morning the first thing that came to my head after the alarm did its inevitable work of annoying me back to consciousness and the real world was the fact that today was the 19th day in October and we have less than 100 days to the end of 2015.

wheww!!, Just like that!!!!

I still remember vividly where i was on the first of January and even all the things i did through out that first week, all the "owambe" and weddings and places i went to,lol. Wow, how time flies!. but the question here is did you and i fly with it?, did we make the time count?

Well, coincidentally and conspicuously, the year is not over yet. there are still alot of potentials. some will say two months and some weeks isn't enough time to start, but i will say it is a enough time to start that which you have held off so long, its just enough to take that step to positivity, Its just enough to touch that life you have been thinking of for long, it just enough for you to take one or more chances, it just enough for you to make that life changing decision.

The year isn't over yet, so don't just dream of a great 2016 ahead, strive to finish up strong this year. let today be the beginning of the best of the rest of your life. strive to make a strategic move will align you to it today.

For every time we think of YESTERDAY and worry about the FUTURE, a lovely,beautiful and great opportunity filled time called PRESENT is PAST.

Politics / Breaking:Uk Asks Switzerland To Arrest Kola Aluko For Alison-madueke Proceedings by Halleydavid: 4:55pm On Oct 07, 2015
It has confirmed from the Attorney General’s Office in Switzerland that the United Kingdom has requested Mutual Legal Assistance from Swiss authorities for the detention of Kola Aluko.

Mr. Aluko is the alleged money launderer for the former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, and ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.

SaharaReporters broke the news earlier today that Kola Aluko has holed himself up in his regal estate in southern Switzerland after learning of Alison-Madueke’s arrest in the United Kingdom. Alison-Madueke and four others are confirmed to have been arrested by agents attached to the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the UK for bribery and other financial crimes.

Nathalie Guth of the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland said,
“I can give you the additional information, that the OAG has received a request for mutual assistance from England.” Mrs. Guth bolded ‘from England’ to emphasize that it was the UK, not Nigeria, requesting Mr. Aluko’s detention.
This communication from the Swiss Attorney General’s Office contradicts reports earlier from Reuters news that it was Nigeria which had requested the assistance from Switzerland.

Politics / UK Reguests For The Extradition Of Alamieyeseigha by Halleydavid: 5:52pm On Oct 05, 2015
Ghen,ghen, Ghen,ghen!, this is clearly a case of no rest for the thief, As fresh reports reveal that the British Government is keen and determined to resurrect Alamieyeseigha's case as they have requested for his EXTRADITION to London!

It will be recalled that former Bayelsa State Governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha was granted a state pardon by former President Goodluck Jonathan

But for the British Government, the former governor has an outstanding case in the UK on money laundering which is there for him to answer.

And the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Corruption, Professor Itse Sagay, was quoted as saying that the President Buhari-led government is prepared to assent to the request of the British Government. He said that the United Kingdom has every legal right to demand for the extradition of the former Bayelsa State Governor.
“The UK is in principle correct to be making such a request based on the fact that the crime was committed on the British soil. However, when there is delay in trial as a result of time, there may be consideration on legal grounds so that the trial is not seen as oppressive,”
Former Governor Alamieyeseigha, who was facing money laundering charges, jumped bail and returned to Nigeria and has since then refused to answer summons for trial to continue. He even contested for a senatorial position in the last concluded election.
