Mother of Stephanie Otobo, the alleged girlfriend of Apostle Johnson Suleman of the Omega Fire Ministries, has said she has not seen her daughter in the last three years, noting that her daughter ”is not normal.”

This is coming after Ms. Otobo, a Canadian-based Nigerian singer accused the fiery preacher of impregnating and abandoning her after he promised to marry her.

Following her initial allegation against the preacher, the singer had continued to release more intimidating details about her alleged romance with Suleman.

But her mother, popularly called Mama Tope has opened a fresh controversy on the much publicized saga.

In a chat with newsmen in Sapele, Delta State on Thursday, Mama Tope said she has not met the cleric before, neither has she been to the Omega Fire Ministries.

Describing as untrue claims that she accompanied her daughter to the headquarters of Omega Fire Ministries in Auchi, Edo State for a purported introduction ceremony, she warned that, “those manipulating her daughter against the man of God would be exposed.

She expressed willingness to, “see the revered cleric to apologize if given access to him.”

She further lamented that, “all efforts to get Stephanie to lead a normal life had not yielded the desired result.”

Mama Tope appealed to Apostle Suleman to, “forgive my daughter and bury the hatchet” even as she blamed the devil for seeking to destroy her daughter.

•Agitators have reached point of no return — MASSOB

By Henry Umoru and Ugochukwu Alaribe

Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has traced the humanitarian crisis in the North-East to the nation’s failure to learn lessons from the civil war to build her internal capacity and mechanisms for managing such situations.

He also affirmed the National Assembly’s commitment to bringing succour to parts of the country facing humanitarian challenges.

Ekweremadu spoke when he received a delegation from the Princess Modupe Ozolua-led Empower 54, which paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.

He observed that as a country that had gone through armed conflict and humanitarian crises, Nigeria ought to have learnt from such experiences and strengthened her capacity to build peace and manage humanitarian challenges.


He said: “As a young boy in the 1960s, I experienced firsthand the humanitarian crisis in the eastern part of Nigeria occasioned by the Biafran war. Then, we had to depend on international donors and humanitarian organisations.

“Unfortunately, from the developments so far in the North East, it is clear that, like virtually every other thing in our history, we did not learn from that experience. We remain heavily dependent on humanitarian organisations and donors.

“If we had learnt from the experience of the civil war, Nigeria would have needed little or no external support. We would have built our internal capacity and mechanisms to manage the North East situation”.

Ekweremadu, however, commended the Empower 54 for its humanitarian outreach, particularly its efforts to have some of its supplies manufactured in Nigeria.

In a related development, the leader of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Comrade Uchenna Madu, yesterday, said no amount of pressure would make his group and other pro-Biafra groups quit their struggle for the actualisation of an independent state of Biafra.

Madu, in an interview with journalists in Aba, said the agitation for Biafra had come a long way such that the groups behind it would not relent until their dream was actualised.

Asked whether the group would relent in its agitation now that it appeared that the Federal Government had started addressing infrastructural issues in the South-East, the MASSOB leader said, “We can’t stop, we have passed that point. Some people think that the agitation for the Sovereign State of Biafra was because of marginalisation or infrastructural decay in the South-East. No. We have passed that stage.

“We want Biafra, not because our roads are bad, not because Igbo man has not become the President of the country. We want Biafra not because of negligence of our area, but we want Biafra because we are Biafrans; we are created Biafrans and we have to exhibit it in all sense of responsibility. We want to restore the ancient kingdom of Biafra as it was before the 1914 amalgamation of Northern and Southern Protectorate.”

But you still don't tell me whether there is a high-speed rail or Monorail in your country...
Or cows and pigs.

cnboy90:
Oh, so in your country, there is no high-speed rail and monorail. So you don't know what monorail and high speed rail.
So in your country, the streets are full of cows or pigs.
Oh, sorry, junk...

cnboy90:
Oh, I just want to laugh at you.
Do you know what a monorail is? Do you have high speed rail in your country?
This is China's BYD monorail train... Again, you know what is the monorail?

Do u know who d Afonjas are?

I understand your point but just because something is given to you does not mean that need to accept it. Especially when it clearly does not work in your favor.

There are more peasants than emirs. The people of the north have shown a peculiar willingness to kill southerners and infidels for the pettiest of reasons (such as comments made about beauty contests or cartoons drawn in Denmark) then why do they refuse to force their useless leaders to feel their wrath? Why can't they use that same violence to bring about real change to their society?

cnboy90:
I'm not talking about Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, or Shenzhen. I only speak of a western city of China - Chongqing.
Do you know what a monorail is? Do you know that China has the world's largest high-speed rail network?

The leaders are a result of the culture, therefore all who keep the culture alive are culpable. Not just the leaders but the everyday people.

Everyone from the parents who send their children to mallams to be abused and forced to beg to the parents who sell their daughters into sexual slavery known as Islamic child marriage. If they did not have so many children to fend for the people might have more energy and inclination to hold their wicked leaders to account. Unfortunately whenever the issue of child marriage or family planning are raised it is the common people who kick against it.

And lest I remind you it was the common people who sheltered and fed Boko Haram members just as it is the common people who are stealing food from IDP camps.
