Politics / Wike Reveals How Army Planned Coup During 2019 Elections by igwesylv: 9:26am On May 07, 2019
The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has claimed that the Nigerian Army staged a coup against Rivers State, during the 2019 General Elections, describing their actions as the worst in the nation’s democratic history.

Wike stated this while addressing the Joint House of Representatives Committees on Army, Police, Human Rights and Justice at the Government House Port Harcourt on Monday.

According to the Governor, the Nigerian Army acted illegally because they were working to impose a pre-determined leadership on Rivers State.He said: “It is really unfortunate. All of us know that there was a coup in this state, organised by the Nigerian Army. In the.m. Read more: https://ugobestiky.com/wike-reveals-how-army-planned-coup-during-2019-elections/

Politics / Yakubu Gowon Slumps At Burial Of David Akpodiete Ejoor In Delta State by igwesylv: 3:06pm On May 03, 2019
Akpokona Omafuaire – Warri

Tension heightened as Gen. Yakubu Gowon, former Nigerian Head of State, slumped mid way during the oration at the grave side of late Maj Gen David Akpodiete Ejoor, in Ovwor-Olomu Community, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.

This is coming just as military personnel fruitlessly made efforts to bar visual coverage of the ugly incident. The former Head of State was promptly rushed by some top echelons of the military into the special tenth for emergency resuscitation, just as Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa and Chief James Onanefe Ibori, former Governor of the Delta State dashed into the tenth to ensure he recovers.

Military as well as the Delta State ambulances were immediately moved closed to the tent, in case the former Head of State’s health deteriorates further. After a moment of suspense, Chief James Onanefe Ibori and Governor Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa were seen coming from the special tenth, an indication that the former Army General has recovered.

EPISODE 2

“Mummy…” Shirley’s voice was distinct and clear.
I spun round, expecting to see my daughter smiling up at me. I saw nothing. There was no one in the house but me.



Was I hallucinating? I turned my attention back to the attractive knife. What exactly did I intend to do? I asked myself.
Tentatively, I picked up the knife

and examined it; strangely enough I enjoyed its feel on my skin.
“Mummy. I love you.” A sing-song voice.

I dropped the knife without thinking and it clattered to the tiled floor.
This time I was sure of what I heard. It was Shirley’s voice- my baby’s voice.
“Shirley.” I called out. “Are you there?”
I was alone.





“Don’t do this to me, please.” I pleaded with the empty house.
It was then I realised I was shaking. My feet could hold me no longer and I crumpled to the floor.
“Why baby, why?” I sobbed uncontrollably. “Why did you have to take her, God?”

A vision of my seven year old daughter flashed before my eyes…
Only recently had she celebrated her seventh birthday…she’d wanted a party but Mo and I had promised her one for her next birthday.



“Not this time, sweetie.” I told her.
“Aww…” Her face took on this puppy-look she used whenever she wanted to get something from either of us. “Pretty pretty please, Mummy.”

God! She was so adorable. I was almost tempted to give in to her.
“How about we ask your daddy what he has planned for your birthday when he gets back from work today?” I said instead, pulling her close to me.

Her face lit up with a smile. “Can I go to the carnival…at least?”
I remember thinking…how did I give birth to such a smart little girl?
I tweaked her nose. “You drive a hard bargain, young lady.”
“That’s why you love me, Mummy.” She had replied.
And indeed did I love her. So much.
She didn’t get the birthday party but Mo and I spent the day with her; we went sight-seeing, we got her gifts and hid it in different parts of the house for her to find.

As these images flashed through my mind, the tears came in torrents. Was she really gone? Was my pretty little angel, my pride and joy never going to kiss my cheeks again and tell me she loves me?

“Just a few more years with her, Lord. That’s all I wanted.” I said through my tears. “Why take her away from me now?”
A hit-and-run. They’d said.
The driver was never found. The cops’ attempt and finding the car had proved abortive. The car had been found abandoned in the park two weeks later. No traces or clues left.
An accident? Inconclusive. The police had said.



Why wouldn’t it be an accident? I often asked myself. Who would want to kill my daughter? Who would be that cruel?
The answers didn’t come.
The worst part of it all was that I had no one to blame. I had no one to be angry at. It wasn’t Mo’s fault or the doctors who couldn’t save her.

There was only one person I could question; one person who’d had ultimate control over her life; one .. CONTINUE READING EP 2: https://ugobestiky.com/betrayals-and-funerals-episode-2/

EPISODE 1

I found myself staring at the knife again. It shone to the extent that I could see my reflection in it; only it wasn’t my reflection I saw but hers.
Shirley.
The tears came again.
Everything reminded me of her.
Everywhere I looked, I saw her.

Her cute smile and her shiny little teeth…
Her eyes that twinkled like stars.
Her contagious personality

Every child I saw made me think of the one I had lost.
Sometimes, I got home expecting to see her in our bed; using my make-up as usual, or cradled in the hands of her father. Each time I had to remind myself that she was gone forever.





And the pain never lessened. I could hardly be around kids now. In fact, I had become a recluse; a shadow of my fvormer self.
My home was empty. She was gone. And so was he.

I needed Mo now more than ever, but I had pushed him away.
Mo; my husband…the only one who truly understood the pain I was going through. The only one I wanted to be with right now, but couldn’t.
I was bitter.



I needed comfort. Shirley had died exactly seven weeks ago; we had buried her a week later. I could barely recall what had gone on during the funeral because I had been high on amphetamines.

Yes, there had been friends, family and well-wishers. All of them spitting their jargon about God giving and taking…none of them understood what real pain was. Shirley had been just seven years, an active and beautiful child, why would God take her away from me…from us?

Within the first few days of losing Shirley, I sat and stared in space. I ignored my husband, friends and everything around me. I could sit and stare for hours at a stretch, our home became a refuse dump and I hardly ate, bathed or even spoke.

She had been my only child, the next best thing in my life. She gave me joy. I had given up my career for her and had never regretted it one day.

What was life going to be like without her, brightening our home with giggling and laughter?
Mo had moved out a week ago at my request. I still don’t know why I did that but I had. I can recall vividly how our conversation went:



“Why are you doing this, Kemi?” He had asked. It was one of those days I woke up after dreaming of Shirley. It was past noon; I hadn’t had breakfast or had my bath.
“You want to die with her?” he continued.

I looked at him warily; “That’s not such a bad idea.”
“Then what happens to the rest of us that love you?”
“You weren’t there when we needed you. Why are you here now?” I spat at him with venom.
I watched him bow his head and I immediately regretted what I had said. He had been working and couldn’t make it in time to say good-bye to her.
“I’m sorry.” I said softly.

He looked up at me. There were tears in his eyes.
“You want to hurt me, don’t you?” He asked. “You think I don’t miss her?”
“I’m sorry.” I whispered again. I wanted to go to him but I couldn’t. I hadn’t saved myself yet, how..... CONTINUE READING EP 1: https://ugobestiky.com/betrayals-and-funerals/

Romance / Virgin Instinct by igwesylv: 4:55pm On May 01, 2019
VIRGIN INSTINCT
She came out from somewhere. I asked her to come. She did. We greeted warmly. And then I asked her to follow me. She did without any show of refusal as if she expected my asking. I led the way as if I expected her to pay heed. Wasn’t it normal that I asked? Wasn’t it also normal that she followed me? The norm of normalcy was our guide.

We strolled into the room. Its interior darkness was our light. It lit up our way to the bed.I led her there. She lied in it on her back. I hovered over her. My heart pounded. It wanted to pull down the walls of my chest. My features were instigated to be shaky.

Her countenance was an expression between approval and no approval. But the rippled folds on her forehead and her slightly parted lips, informed the beautiful frown on her face.

Our lips touched, but it was out of the routine of encounters like that than of passion, let alone a genuine feeling of being together.

Tentativeness lurked around us like a shadow.I untied her wrapper, pulled down her black panties. She let out a hiss of unease. Myself, already hard, left the panties and went no further. I puffed air out of me. I looked at her. She looked at me. We looked through ourselves as though we were dead trees.

The door creaked open. Mom and dad entered and strolled up into the inner room. I hurried my cloths on asking her to do the same, pulled her stunned self to the back of the door and asked her to stay there.

Then I went to meet them, mum and dad. I tried to divert their attention to something in the parlor. Mom answered my greetings and went on into the inner room.I forced myself to wake up.***My heart still pounded. I felt haunted. I tried to pray. The prayer metamorphosed into listlessness. I remained still in bed, under the folds of my blanket, on my back and just stared at nothing in the room’s darkness.

The sonority of the muezzin, the frequent crow of cocks from far and near, tore into the silence and crowded the life of the dawning morning as if competing for the audiences of sleepers.I felt a bulge on my right side. My hand reached for the area. The object was the book I was reading. I had fallen asleep and rolled over on it.

The back page was folded into two under my weight. I straightened it. The picture of the author stared at me indifferently from his smoking pipe.I put the book down, layed it on the affected cover, and took up my phone. The screen responded with robotic awareness to the touch of my index finger.

I opened my mail box. A rejection email stared at me point blank. I stared back straight faced. Was that why I had jitters? I put down the phone on the book. Its brightness became a glint of dimness that disappeared into the room’s darkness.I sighted involuntarily, turned my head in the direction of the reading table. The writing pad was still there.

The morning was becoming brighter. Its light shot in through the glint in the window.I tried to pray again. My thoughts were whisked away back to the feeling before I had awoke.

The feelings danced on my mind’s arena like a coquettish damsel inviting me to her fickle world. I reached out only to meet with elusiveness. The dancer was a bunch of random moving dotes. Dotes that wanted to express the many faces of a feeling that felt unjustly repressed.***At a certain age, some things become the fixation of your mind.

Sex is one. If you have never had sex, the feeling is an incessant obliging that nags.It feels as though sex is the only thing I want to have now. It feels as though I should just go out there in to the prostitutes’ house’, carry a bunch of them and just have sex with them; it feels as though I......CONTINUE READING: https://ugobestiky.com/virgin-instinct/

Asari Dokubo reveals when, how he will kill Nnamdi Kanu

Asari Dokubo, a former Niger Delta militant leader, has vowed to kill the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

Dokubo said that the struggle for the actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra has been compromised by the IPOB leader.In a video he shared on Facebook on Wednesday morning, he wondered why Kanu is running instead of facing the Nigerian Government squarely.

He also blasted Kanu for alleged killing Prophet Anthony Nwoko, insisting he has not killed anyone before, even as a Muslim.

He said, “Our fellow Biafrans, in this period of darkness, a few people have decided to thrash our struggle in the blood of our own people. So that they will become....................
