musictori: The aide of the former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Reno Omokri has come clean saying that he is fighting for Nigeria, not to get anything in return, adding that he is already fulfilled in life.
See what he wrote...
"I fight for Nigeria, not because I want anything. I am FULFILLED in life. Yet, some Nigerians say come back home and talk. So @MBuhari can arrest me and there will be no one left to talk? Sadly, all too often, the problem with Nigeria is Nigerians"
Wow, this is touching. Anybody who is not moved by this is a sadist who has nothing going for him.
mysportdab: Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the team bus to take a photo with a sick child, MySportDab reports.
Ronaldo is currently on international duty with Portugal and also scored an Hat-trick recently against Switzerland to reach the Nations League final.
Ahead of the final, the Portuguese players took part in a low-key training session at the Estadio do Bessa in Porto.
After the session, Ronaldo and his team-mates went to head back to their hotel when the forward spotted a young fan holding abanner.
Eleven-year-old Eduardo Moreira, who suffers from leukaemia, was holding a poster that read:"Cristiano, give me a hug."
Ronaldo then stopped the team bus and with the help of security guards allowed the fan to come aboard the bus.
Ronaldo also happily posed for pictures with the youngster, who has been battling illness for almost 10 years.The clip of the incident has since gone viral on social media.
Abeg Ihedioha should settle down and face governance and forget about political wars.
Undateka: Hon Oscar who is the councillor representing Umudioka Owerri in Orlu LGA is dead. He died this morning. After a peaceful protest demonstration at the imo state house of assembly which was later hijacked by SARS who beat up and brutalized so many councilors sent by the governor of imo state emeka ihedioha. The whole state is mourning this faithful and honorable fighter and condemned the action of emeka ihedioha.
As una talk, person no live there for one year, how una want the place to dey before? IMO people no go judge Okorocha becos of deputy gov lodge but wetin e do for the state.
ngoziclara: The Deputy Governor of Imo State, Gerald Irona led a team of government officials on Friday, 7th of June to inspect the ‘Deputy Governor’s Lodge’ at Commissioners Quarters, Owerri.
[i]Expressiveinfo [/i]has gathered the distasteful photos of the interior and exterior sections of the lodge released by the government media team after the facility tour.
Recall that we shared the embarrassing photos that were released after Governor Ihedioha inspected the Imo Government House his predecessor, Rochas Okorocha left behind. Rumours have been going round since then that those photos were released because of a supposed plan by the governor to set aside 5 billion Naira to renovate the governor’s lodge.
Regarding the ‘Deputy Governor’s Lodge’, you have to recall that the former deputy governor, Eze Madumere has been at a loggerhead with former governor Rochas Okorocha shortly before the APC primary elections which held in October, 2018 due to Okorocha’s preferred choice of a successor. Worthy of note is that former deputy governor Madumere stopped living at the official lodge since the conflict with his former boss started last year and the lodge had been unoccupied ever since.
You can't say nobody cares about those things. Politics affects virtually every aspect of our lives and those who occupy vintage positions have more say on how we are governed.
Splashme: Lol, As if true SE people even care about those positions. If not for the greedy political actors fighting selfish battles, who in the SE care about those things?
I am not a fan of the gay community. But this is barbaric. Since their law allows such, it's not for anybody to bestow upon him/herself the power to judge these people especially when we have our ish going on in our different lives. We need more love, less judgement and condemnation in the world today.
realDONmikel: Introducing Emmanuel Ifeajuna, He is most popular for being the The first Black African Commonwealth gold medalist. He was the pride not just of Nigeria but of a whole continent.
Ifeajuna, a military officer, had co-led a military coup in January 1966 in which, according to an official but disputed police report, he shot and killed Nigeria’s first prime minister. The Olympic Book was designed in honour of Emmanuel Ifeajuna, 1st African to win a Commonwealth Gold,he was executed in Enugu,1967. The next time Ifeajuna appeared before a crowd of thousands he was bare-chested and tied to a stake, facing execution before a seething mob
The coup failed but Ifeajuna escaped to safety in Ghana, dressed as a woman and was driven to freedom by a famous poet. Twenty months later, he was back, fighting for the persecuted Igbo people of eastern Nigeria in a brutal civil war that broke out as a consequence of the coup.
Ifeajuna and three fellow officers were accused by their own leader, General Emeka Ojukwu, of plotting against him and the breakaway Republic of Biafra. They denied charges of treason: they were trying to save lives and their country, they said, by negotiating an early ceasefire with the federal government and reuniting Nigeria. They failed, they died and, in the next two and a half years, so did more than a million Igbo SOURCE: http://www.lagoslately.com/meet-the-man-who-triggered-the-bullet-that-killed-tafawa-balewa/
With all due respect to him, his attitude is nauseating. How do you go from a party that supervised numerous cases of breach of public trust to an anti corruption specialist. Why didn't he help the government he served under to check corruption.
joseph6071: Here is what Reno Omokri thinks about the way Buhari fights corruption using Danjuma Goje as a case study.
To even imagine that the state is governed by a PhD holder is disheartening. Abia needs a pragmatic leader with vision and passion.

He was raised in Diobu, a densely populated neighbourhood in Port Harcourt, and had his early education at St Theresa's Primary School from 1970 to 1976. He earned his West African Senior School Certificate in 1982 after attending Government Secondary School Okolobiri.

Early political career
Amaechi first office in politics was as Secretary of the now defunct National Republican Convention in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State. Between 1992 and 1994, he was Special Assistant to the Deputy Governor of Rivers State, Sir (Dr.) Peter Odili, and also a member of the Board of West Africa Glass Industry as well as Risonpalm Nigeria Limited. Dr. Peter Odili believed in him as a young man with potential in politics, and adopted him as a political son, guiding and nurturing him in politics, and consequently facilitating his election into the Rivers State House of Assembly in 1999.
This relationship between him and Odili translated into a harmonious relationship between the Executive and Legislative arms of government in Rivers State, until when Rotimi Amaechi launched a campaign against the State Government, and verbally attacked the image of the State Governor, in an effort to succeed Peter Odili as governor in 2007.
He was the Rivers State's Secretary of the Democratic Party of Nigeria (DPN) caretaker committee after in 1996 during the transition programme of General Sanni Abacha junta.[6]

In 2003 when the National Assembly moved to hijack the legislative functions of the State house of Assembly as enshrined in the constitution, he and his colleagues took the matter to Nigeria's supreme court and the court gave a judgment that the control and supervision of local government is the prerogative of the State House of Assembly.
Governorship
He contested and won the People's Democratic Party primary for Rivers State Governor in 2007. His name was substituted by the party, an action which he challenged in court. The case eventually got to the Supreme Court.
