Ok this story is a little bit wrong as I happen to be living in that area. They
normally argue and fight yes.
When this fight broke, she was the aggressor as she takes drugs and was high at that moment, she broke X1 bottle on his head which got him angry so he stabbed her with the kitchen knife. He was the one who took he to the clinic, admitted her and got his own injury treated, she was stable but they refused to treat her until he made a deposit which he went to do before being infrmed she gave up the ghost after which he ran away but was later caught

atiku4President:
That's insubordination if either you or your would- be wife is a member of the Church. Even if none of you are, you think the house of God is a place to do a thing like that without the consent of the man overseeing the affairs of the Church. What kind of a generation are we and how do human beings reason these days? How do you see it that you are engaging a sister in a Church where the pastor is not aware of the relationship? You think a Church is a social gathering? Tomorrow if anything happens to the relationship/marriage (but God forbid) social media will say you even got engaged before the Pastor. My friend, humble yourself and appreciate the pastor saved the image of the Church.

can you see your life? When has that become a sin? Even God said go forth and multiply and he is doing so the right way
By engaging her. In the house of the Lord there is fullness of joy

The Nigerian Association of Liquefied Petroleum Gas Marketers (NALPGAM), says the current hike in price of cooking gas might persist if activities of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Terminal Owners and Off Takers is not checked.

The Executive Secretary of NALPGAM, Mr Bassey Essien told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Friday that the development had led to increase in the price of cooking gas from N2, 600 to about N4, 500 in retail outlets.

Essien said that the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) vessel on Nov. 13, supplied products to two terminals in Lagos to reduce the scarcity within the South West zone.



He said that this was in line with the Federal Government’s approval for the allocation of about 350,000MT of Gas per annum for local consumption through the NLNG.

Essien said the product was distributed through the terminals/off takers to gas marketers who eventually distribute to end user

“We noticed recently that gas delivered to terminals/off takers sold at N3.2 million per 20 MT a week ago suddenly jumped to between N4 million and N4. 3 million per 20MT at the terminals.

“This singular action has taken cooking gas beyond the reach of ordinary Nigerians who are forced to pay a higher price for product that the price structure from NLNG has not significantly changed.

“We therefore, dissociate our association (NALPGAM) from such exploitative acts of the terminals who are taking the industry and stakeholders for granted,’’ he said.



Essien said the upsurge in the price of cooking gas was detrimental to the efforts of the Federal Government at deepening cooking gas utilisation in the country.

He said that with this development, many Nigerians would go back to using kerosene and firewood which had attendant health effects.

“A filling station which was selling 300 litres of kerosene a week has seen its sales increased to about 6,000 litres because people who cannot afford gas due to the increment are going back to kerosene.

“This has so many negative effects on the economy, especially as food sellers would have to increase the prices of their food or reduce the quantity not to run at a loss,” he said.

Essien commended the NLNG for its efforts in supplying gas to Nigerians.

He added that the company would improve on its performance to deliver gas to other coastal terminals outside Lagos to reduce the inherent pressure on the terminals in the South West

It is obvious that the north would have a low rate due to their rejection of western medicine and the prefer to die in silence

The battle to win the governorship seat in Kogi state scheduled for tomorrow has reached a frightening climax. Less than 24 hours to the showdown, both the political gladiators and the electorate are expectedly apprehensive over who the outcome of the election may favour.

Although there are 25 candidates in different political parties who have been cleared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to contest for the exalted seat, the contest is a titanic battle between the incumbent governor, Yahaya Bello of the All progressives Congress, APC and Mr Musa Wada of the peoples Democratic party, PDP.

Kogi State is made up of 21 local government areas of 239 wards with over three million population and has 1,646,350 voters with 2,548 polling units.

The three senatorial districts in the state comprises the East made up of Igala/ Bassa with nine LGAs, the Central senatorial district made up of Ebira with five LGAs and the West senatorial district made of Okun- Yoruba/ Igbira Koto with seven LGAs.



Interestingly, at the various campaign rallies of both gladiators across the state, the slogans, songs and body language being used point to the fact that the Saturday election may be coated with ethnic sentiments between the Ebira where Governor Bello hails from and that of the Igala where Wada comes from.

Political watchers believe that the ethnic politics may have led to the recent order by some groups who allegedly told the PDP candidate and his campaign trail not to venture entering into Ebira land for any kind of rally.

Historically, Kogi State is being regarded as volatile when it comes to election matters but this Saturday’s exercise, pundits argue, may be worse especially when some people see the contest as a superiority fight between the Ebira who have been so marginalised in the past and the Igala who have been holding to power since the creation of the state.

Yahaya Bello, an Ebira was controversially elected as governor in January 2016 following the sudden death of Prince Abubakar Audu, an Igala and the then APC governorship candidate who had majority of the votes cast.

Thus, the Ebira who occupy the five LGAs of the Central senatorial district believe that this is their time and whether Governor Bello meets up in governance with the people’s expectations or not, he must be fully supported for re-election. For them, this golden opportunity must not slip from the Ebira people who are a minority tribe in the state.

On the other hand, the Igala who are the majority tribe in the state always believe that winning an election is by number hence, the tribe should always determine the outcome of elections in the state. And this is probably the reason many believe that the Igala are determined to reclaim power they lost to a minority tribe.

However, politics is not mathematics and various permutations are in the air ahead of tomorrow’s exercise. The question is -what are the factors that will determine the outcome of the election.

Gov. Yahaya Bello ( APC)

Strengths:

The most important factor that will work for Governor Bello in the election is the power of incumbency. As a member of the ruling party both at the state and federal levels, the governor has a lot of goodwill among his counterparts in other states and in the presidency.

Bello is also regarded as a political son of President Muhammadu Buhari, hence, he is loved by the cabal who could do anything to ensure that the governor is re-elected.

Aside from this, pundits believe the governor is sure of getting a bloc vote from his central axis which has about 24 percent of the total votes in the state coupled with a sizeable number of supporters from the Okun- Yoruba axis of the West. Notable among them are billionaire business mogul, Jide Omokore and past PDP juggernauts who recently defected to the APC.

Also, investigations revealed that there are strong ties between the Ebira and the Okun that may work in favour of Gov Bello in the election.

Both came from old Kwara and both have been crying of marginalisation in the hands of the Igala. A secret pact is said to have been made by some prominent people in the area and Governor Bello that power will be rotated to the zone if the people could support his re-election bid.

Tinubu/Faleke factor is also seen by many to have a considerable plus for the re-election of Governor Bello. Although, there were kicks from different quarters, the recent handing over of Audu’ political family by James Faleke to Bello is seen as a boost to his re-election bid.

.The most important factor that may work favourably for Bello is the issue of funding. A lot of people, it is gathered, aligning with Bello today are said to be propelled by what they would gain and the governor is said to have stored up billions of naira for distribution during the election.

Aside from this, the governor is said to have all the security agencies in the state including the police at his beck and call and could therefore use them to his advantage during the election coupled with the allegation from the opposition that a large number of thugs are being recruited.

Weakness:

The major weakness of Governor Bello’s re-election bid is the general perception of non performance in office.

In the last three and half years, his administration is said to have received over N400 billion aside from bailout funds, Paris refund and loans collected and no single viable project has been completed or commissioned to justify the amount collected.

The issue of non-payment of salaries and pension which has led to deaths of scores of civil servants in the state with many now nursing untreated ailments is seen as a serious setback to his re election bid.

Although, most of the salary arrears have been paid, many still believe that if re-elected, he may not bother to pay salaries again.

Musa Wada ( PDP)

Strengths:

The masses and the entire work force of the state are the major strengths of the PDP candidate as pundits believe that if there is free and fair election, Wada will emerge in the poll.

It is believed that the PDP candidate has a large following as people willingly come out enmasse during his campaigns without any form of inducement.

Another advantage of the PDP candidate is the voting strength of the Eastern flank of the state which has about 51 percent of the total votes.

Pundits believe that if Wada can have at least 80 percent of the total votes cast, and at least 50 percent of the votes in the Western flank, then he is sure to emerge winner.

Some people also believe that since the coming of Gov Bello’s administration, there has been pronounced hunger and starvation like never before, and businesses of middlemen and petty traders in the state have been negatively affected and therefore everything must be done to kick out the government. This is to Wada’s advantage.

Weakness:

The major weakness of the PDP candidate is lack of adequate funding which has hampered so many things like erection of bill boards, branding of cars, mobilization of members and even logistics for campaigns.

Also, the continued face off between him and his father in-law, former governor Ibrahim Idris who is regarded as the pillar of PDP in the state is a great minus to him.

It is also learnt that some big wigs in the party and some aspirants who contested along with him in the primary election are still nursing one grievance or the other against him and may not work for him at the election proper.

One other thing that may slightly work against him in the poll, pundits say, is the issue of inexperience in governance and the fact that Wada is still regarded as a green horn in the politics of the state and that if elected, he may be worse than the current governor.

However, with all issues considered, political watchers believe that if there is free and fair election, the margin of whoever will win between Bello and Wada may not be too wide.
