Saraki may not be a saint. But he is generous compared to others who also stole money and are using it for themselves only

He has the money to spend. Good for him

The pastor is right. The job may be lucrative but if you are a serious minded Christian and heaven conscious, the you need to obey your pastor, resign and put God to test. Working in such an environment will gradually and with time lure you away from God. Also how can you be preaching to the lost souls when you're actually engineering their means of destruction

We Had the 'Largest Economy in Africa' Because of Youths - Jonathan Celebrates Youths


Goodluck Jonathan says youths are the greatest assets of Nigeria, as young persons made it possible for the country to attain the position of the largest economy on the continent.




While celebrating young Nigerian youths on the occasion of the 'International Youth Day', former President Goodluck Jonathan says youths are the greatest assets of Nigeria, as young persons made it possible for the country to attain the position of the largest economy on the continent, adding that youths would continue to be his inspiration.

Jonathan who took to his official Twitter page and urged youths to continue to develop themselves through positive endeavours, wrote;

"On this #IYD2016 I salute the resilience and creativity of our youths. From Adichie to Jelani Aliyu, our youths continue to be our pride.

“When Nigeria’s economy became the largest economy on the African continent, it was and is because of our youths.

“When we perform exploits at the Olympics and other sporting events, it is because of the great Nigerian youths. Nigeria, and indeed the world, has no greater asset than our youth and you will continue to be my personal inspiration.

“My message to youths is to urge you to continue to develop yourself through positive endeavors. The future is yours. God bless our youths. GEJ”

Nigeria became the largest economy in 2014, but recently lost the spot to South Africa as a result of the instability of the economy

Sex before marriage is sin. From whatever angle you try to justify it, doesn't make it any less a sin. Even our culture forbids sex before marriage.

President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly walked out on ministers during a meeting at presidential villa, Signal is reporting. The report said the ministers led by youth and sports minister Solomon Dalung had sought the audience of President as the ministers for financial request of N20 million per annum to settle their accommodation problem but mid-way into the meeting, Mr Buhari President stood up and ‘excused himself’ leaving the ministers dejected and hopeless. READ ALSO: FACE OFF: Catholic church sues Fayose, find out why President Buhari rejected the request by the ministers “because his hands are tied by the Remuneration Act, even though he empathises with their situation. They were asking for N20 million per annum for their accommodation. But prior to last week’s meeting, several other options had been proposed, including buying an estate or the FCDA (Federal Capital Development Authority) building one, but these were considered expensive and dropped. The final option was the request for N20 million per annum, because some ministers are squatting in Abuja and the situation is impacting on their jobs,” Signal reported. Quoting a source who was present during the meeting, the report said “The ministers have been facing serious challenges with accommodation and they put their heads together to go and see the President hoping that they could persuade him to do something. Dalung was the spokesperson of the ministers; Communication Minister Adebayo Shittu was also at the meeting. Where the problem started was when Dalung started making reference to how ministers got a nice accommodation package under previous governments. He actually said that under Jonathan ministers were given N20 million each for accommodation. When he said that Buhari asked if he mean N20 million for all the ministers and Dalung replied that it was N20 million per person. It was at this point that Buhari stood up and said he was taking his leave and leaving Osinbajo to “sort it out” with them,” an unnamed source was quoted.

The tragic incident of Sunday, April 24, was one that the family of Ashinwo, did not see coming.

Had a prophet told Oluwatosin, her siblings and their widow mother, of the danger that lurked around the corner that day, it is unlikely they would have believed it.

In fact, months after they all knew 45-year-old David Ogundele, an engineer, who was deeply obsessed with 30-year-old Oluwatosin, they had no idea they had a killer on their hands.

But it is late to regret; Oluwatosin is dead after being stabbed multiple times by Ogundele along with her mother, who was trying to ward off the attack on her daughter in a flat she rented at Tanke area of Ilorin, Kwara State.

As of the time of filing this report, Oluwatosin’s mother was still in intensive care at a hospital in Ilorin where she had undergone a round of surgery to repair the extensive damage caused by the knife attack on her body.

In fact, one of Oluwatosin’s brothers, told our correspondent that their mother was stabbed more than his sister but she survived to tell the story.

For her sister, the story is grimmer. She had bled to death by the time help came.

Agony of love unreciprocated

The story that culminated in the tragedy that has befallen the Ashinwo family started late last year, Saturday PUNCH learnt.

Oluwatosin, who was a customer care executive with telecommunication company, MTN, had just been transferred from Kano to Kwara State when she met Ogundele.

Our correspondent was told that while Ogundele had a massive crush on the young woman, she had other things on her mind.

“My sister did not love him back and she did not hide it. He did everything to win her love but she just did not like him back,” one of Oluwatosin’s brothers told our correspondent.

Soon, Ogundele was said to have reached out to the young woman’s siblings with the hope of winning their approval and convincing their sister.

Oluwatosin’s brother said, “At a time when I was in Ilorin at the end of last year, I visited my sister one evening when the man came around. I saw him a second time, two weeks after that in December. I did not ask my sister about him because I knew she was old enough to handle her affairs. But it was clear my sister did not like him.

“My sister used to tell me that he works at Omu Aran. She said the man would always pester her that he wanted to marry her.

“There had been pressure from my mother and other family members for her to get married but she always liked to handle her issues herself. She was the one who sponsored my university education. She was very hardworking. Even apart from her MTN work, she was still selling shoes and bags on the side.

“It happened that the man (Ogundele) got the numbers of my brother and I somehow.”

Soon, Ogundele started to send messages to Oluwatosin’s brothers.

The screen capture of one of such messages shown our correspondent, reads, “Your sister is giving me a serious headache. I don’t know what to do. I love her so much but…Join me in prayers that God should soften her heart.”

In another text message he sent to one of the brothers, Ogundele wrote, “I am at the health centre now. It is your sister’s behaviour that landed me there o. Always thinking (sic) I covet your prayers for survival. If I die, I die for love. You can’t understand.”

At this point, the brothers reached the conclusion that the man was terribly obsessed with their sister, who insisted that she was never going to get into a relationship with or marry him.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that it became clear that Oluwatosin’s mind was made up when Ogundele undertook the most unexpected and shocking step of organising a big birthday party for the young woman when she clocked 30 in February.

Apart from organising the birthday, he bought a Toyota Matrix as a birthday gift.

As the birthday ceremony started, Ogundele reportedly put a call across to Oluwatosin to come. She never showed up.

“If my sister had accepted the gift, it would have been the same as accepting his proposal. He felt so bad about it,” the deceased’s brother said.

This was said to have infuriated Ogundele, whom they said felt ashamed in the eyes of the guests he had invited to the party.

Oluwatosin’s brothers said her resolve was more affirmed because she had learnt that Ogundele was married already.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that after Ogundele established contacts with Oluwatosin’s siblings, he went ahead to get in touch with their mother too.

“He kept disturbing my brother. My brother initially felt pity for him for the disappointment when he told him he bought a car for my sister but she still disappointed him. When he got my mother’s number, I explained to my mother that he was not the kind of person my sister could marry. My mother decided to tell him that there was nothing she could do about that because she could not force a man on her own daughter to marry.”

On Saturday, their 53-year-old mother travelled to Ilorin to visit Oluwatosin.

That was when she learnt that there had been an incident recently which Oluwatosin did not tell them.

“I called my mother that day and she told me that she was happy that she visited my sister. She said the man (Ogundele) threatened my sister. My mother said my sister told her that the man held a knife to her neck and collected her ATM card and withdrew money from her account.

“My sister told mom that the man threatened that if he did not marry her, he would waste her. We could not finish that conversation that day.”

Then between 8am and 9am on Sunday, the Ashinwo’s worst nightmare came true. Ogundele made good his threat.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that Ogundele showed up and an argument ensued, during which Oluwatosin insisted the man must leave her house.

But rather than leave, in anger, he ran into the kitchen and grabbed a knife.

By the time, he was done, the two women, Oluwatosin, and her mother, who tried to stop the fight, had both been stabbed multiple times.

It was learnt that Ogundele locked his victims in the room, thinking that they were both dead.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that the house was deserted at the time as other tenants were not around.

But unknown to him, Oluwatosin’s mother survived and she alerted a trader who had a shop in front of the compound.

The severely injured woman, who had managed to narrate a little of what happened, said she watched as her bleeding daughter breathed her last, as Ogundele locked them inside and fled.

She was later rushed to the hospital where doctors performed an emergency surgery to save her life.

Photographs of the scene of the attack, which were shown our correspondent, showed patches of thickened blood which had turned the white tiles red. The photographs gave an insight into the brutal attack that took Oluwatosin’s life.



Conversation with killer on the run

In a shocking conversation our correspondent struck with the alleged killer (Ogundele) on WhatsApp, he simply rationalised his act by saying “I was bewitched.”

Asked if Oluwatosin provoked him, he said, “It is well. What can I do now? I was bewitched. How would I attack a lady I claim to love?”

At what point did he think he was bewitched?

“When you did something you never wanted to do that’s how you’ll know. Tell me what to do please,” he said.

Asked what caused the argument in which he stabbed Oluwatosin and her mother, he answered “Please, tell me what to do.”

Our correspondent told him that if he refused to explain what happened, people would read the report and view him simply as a cold-blooded killer, he answered, “At least I will appear in one of the most read newspapers in Nigeria.”

Asked why he did not simply hand himself over to the police, rather than run, he said, “I am in Ilorin, airport area. I am not running.”

He was asked why he stabbed Oluwatosin’s mother too, he denied it and simply said, “Never”. When told that the woman survived, he said, “Thank God for her life.”

When he was told that the more he stayed in hiding, the more he would look guilty, he replied, “Now you are talking. Is she really dead? Okay. I will hand myself over to the police tomorrow in Ilorin, trust me. She is dead, let me die too.”

Our correspondent later sent him one of his pictures earlier taken from his Whatsapp profile to let him know that his identity was known.

“That’s not my present picture though. I keep an afro now. Long hair. Where are you now?” Ogundele said.

He later signed off the conversation and said, “Talk to you later.”

Hunt for killer

The case was initially reported at the F Division of the Kwara State Police Command, which is located few metres away from where Oluwatosin lived.

The spokesperson for the Kwara State Police Command, Mr. Ajayi Okasanmi, confirmed that the police are on the trail of the suspect.

Investigators have visited a private university where Ogundele is said to work, but his colleagues said they had not seen nor heard from him since the day before the incident.

The police have called for any information that may help to track down the suspect as he continues to stay in hiding.

As of the time of filing this report, he had yet to hand himself over to the police as he promised our correspondent.

The Federal Road Safety Corps has reminded all motorists and other road users to be cautious on the roads as the rainy season has set in.

This is to ensure sanity on the highways during the season even as the Corps also harps on the need for strict compliance with traffic rules and regulations among road users especially during this period.

According to the FRSC’s Public Education Officer, Corps Commander Imoh Etuk, the corps was concerned over the attitude of many drivers.

However, here are a few tips to drive safely during this period according to wikiHow;

1. Keep both hands on the steering wheel at all times!

Keep all distractions, such as cell phones or even the radio, off and away from you. While focus to your front do Take a Look in Back View Mirror as well Right Hand side & Left Hand side so that you get an 360 degree over view what is happening around any mud slide or falling tree, electric pole, hanging electrical wires , or in coming hazard etc

2. Turn on your headlights.

This will make it easier for you to see what is in front of you; thus, preventing any accidents.

3. Keep a minimum of a good five car length from the car in front of you.

You never know what other drivers are going to do or what could happen to you! If that feels too close or too far a rule of thumb is 1 second of following distance per 10 mph (16 km/h). That holds true especially in bad weather.

4. Drive at or below the speed limit.

To the extent that you are comfortable with, and can see far enough in front of you to appropriately make driving decisions.

5. Be aware that the maximum speed at which you can drive is DIRECTLY related to your tires.

Be sure to know the condition of your tyres. Radial tires have better traction than the old bias ply polyester tires, but even they lose their ability to grip wet pavement and channel water out as the tread wears out.

6. Be aware of hydroplaning.

This is where your vehicle travels on top of the water and has NO or very little contact with the ground. Your traction is reduced significantly. To safely get out of a hydroplaning situation let off the gas and steer straight or slightly in the direction you must go. Do not make sudden motions and remain calm.

7. Avoid flooded roads.

Never drive through standing or flowing water in a road way unless you have no choice or you are able to follow someone else to judge the depth of the water. Flooding the engine of your car can cause the engine to stall, and deep water can actually float your car and take it off the roadway.

8. Turn on the defroster if the windshield begins to fog.

In hot, muggy weather, air conditioned air (which cannot contain as much moisture) will usually clear the inside of the windshield faster than non air conditioned.

9. Be aware that brakes can be affected by water.

Wet drum type brakes are especially prone to decreased stopping power after driving through deep water.

10. Watch for splashing from potholes and pools of water that accumulate at clogged storm drain pipes and low areas of the pavement.

Highways also develop “ruts” where the heaviest traffic tracks, and you may be able to position your vehicle while remaining in your lane to avoid these.
