Convicted baron loses VGC mansion, jeep as NDLEA arrests grandma for drugs in Lagos

. Recovers South Africa-bound 1.5m opioid pills, intercepts 2.2kg cocaine in Owerri, 3 bandits drug suppliers in Zamfara

A multi-million-naira mansion located at K-5A/2 Road 14, Victoria Garden City (VGC) estate, Lekki area of Lagos used as clandestine laboratory for the production of methamphetamine by a convicted drug baron, Okenwa Chris Nzewi, has been forfeited to the Federal Government following his successful prosecution and conviction in court by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

Okenwa was arrested along with his associate, Sunny Okeh Ukah on 30th July 2022 and subsequently arraigned on four counts in charge number FHC/L/527C/2022 at the Federal High Court, Lagos. They both pleaded guilty on 17th July, 2023, while they were convicted and sentenced to four and three years imprisonment each with an option of fine of four million (N4,000,000) naira and three million (N3,000,000) naira respectively in addition to community service for four and three weeks each. His vehicle marked EKY 496 DJ was equally forfeited to the Federal Government.

To further deny him of enjoying the proceeds of his criminal activity, the NDLEA filed a civil forfeiture charge against the building used as clandestine laboratory at the Federal High Court Lagos which initially granted an interim forfeiture order that elapsed on 6th December before the final forfeiture on 7th December 2023.

NairalandForumo:
Yoi see that's the problem with you guys sometimes, you guys just generalize, so because Nnamdi Kanu told IPOB to burn properties in Lagos, you are attributing it to all Igbos...

That is like saying in 1999 when OPC where killing people in Lagos, the Igbos now claimed that Yorubas are the ones killing other tribes in Lagos....

And even with what MNK said, was there any actual evidence the IPOB actually acted upon his instructions?

Expulsion of Nigerian Immigrant Community from Ghana in 1969.

This paper examines the remote and immediate factors that propelled the expulsion of Nigerian migrants from Ghana in November 1969. While the paper observes that jealousy and xenophobia played important roles in instigating the expulsion order, it notes that the key consideration that informed the Ghanaian action was the economic depression experienced in the country notable in the high rate of youth unemployment within the country. The study further notes that the action brought positive and negative impacts on the Nigerian nation but spelled doom for the cocoa and retail business sectors of the Ghanaian economy in the immediate post-expulsion period. The paper concludes that though Ghana had an inalienable right to expel aliens from her territory, the haste involved in the order and the in-human disposition of Ghanaian law enforcement agents to the deportees left much to be desired.

Residents of Fegge, Onitsha South Local Government area have poured encomiums on the Governor of Anambra state, Professor Chukwuma Soludo CFR, for what they tagged 'Solution Giant Strides in Onitsha'.

They gave the commendations when the Governor attended a town hall meeting with Fegge Landlords Association and residents held last Friday at Fegge.

The Chairman of the Onitsha South chapter of All Progressive Grand Alliance, (APGA), Chief Uche C. Umennakenyi, said that the governor has made them proud by constructing the Port Harcourt road and other roads in Fegge and urged him not to relent in making the state a better place to live in.

He vowed that those who dump refuse into the drainages and block the road would not go unpunished adding that the governor's achievements would speak for him come 2025 gubernatorial election.

The Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo has vowed to offer #10 million to the first street in Onitsha to complete their repainting from February 1 to March 10 this year.

The Governor made this vow through the Commissioner for environment, Mr Felix Odimegwu during an interactive session with Onitsha landlords at Onitsha South Local Government Area Secretariat on February 5.

According to him, the runners up will receive #5 million while the third position will smile home with #3 million.

"We are here for the follow up of the last visit here where our governor sent his deputy to come and interact with the Fegge landlords on degeneration and facelift of Onitsha.

"We want to do this thing in three folds; repainting, where the governor brought out a challenge 'Ka Anambra Chakee' which prompted him to set a cash gift to any street that comes together, discuss and embark on this initiative, paint from street end to street end.

"It is the wish of the governor to embark on this initiative. He said that he would be here on Friday for you to see him and hear also that he is the one that sent us here. This is an agenda that is not hard to do and also it is for our health benefit.

"Another one is cleaning of drainages. Onitsha was last rated as the dirtiest place in West Africa but this government since it came, is deliberate to change Onitsha from the present narrative and place it on the right direction it should be.

"Since solid roads constructions are going on, it will be an eyesore that the environment, buildings within these roads are dilapidated, we all know that paints help in protecting houses, so we are here to appreciate the governor.

"Fegge is well planned, when we painted all our houses, plant trees, it will make your properties valuable, appreciate naturally and also conducive for foreign investors and businesses."

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU CALLS FOR SUSPENSION OF SANCTIONS ON GUINEA, MALI, NIGER, AND BURKINA FASO

President Bola Tinubu has called for the suspension of economic sanctions imposed on Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea by ECOWAS.

Speaking at the Extra-ordinary Summit of ECOWAS in Abuja on Saturday, President Tinubu, who is the Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of the organization, stated that: “Everything we did was in hopes of persuading our brothers that there existed a better path, a path that would lead to genuine improvement of their people’s welfare through democratic good governance. And this was a path each of our nations had solemnly agreed with one another pursuant to formal regional treaty and protocol.

“However, the sanctions that we contemplated might help lead our brothers to the negotiating table have become a harsh stumbling block. In my mind and heart, that which is hurtful yet ineffective serves no good purpose and should be abandoned.

"ECOWAS was established for the unassailable objective of improving the lives of the people of this region through fraternal cooperation among all member states. This edifice was cemented on the strong foundation and apt conviction that, united as one, we can be the true masters of our destiny."

The President further explained that ECOWAS took the steps it did based on the regional ideals of security, social stability; democratic governance, political freedom, broad-based prosperity, and sustainable economic development through fair opportunity for each and every one in West Africa.

He said neither hatred nor hidden motive influenced the steps taken and that there was never any intention to douse or undermine the legitimate political aspirations of any member state or to advance the interests of any outside party.

In calling for the suspension of sanctions, President Tinubu stressed that: "We must take note of the approach of the holy month of Ramadan and of Lent. Whether you pray in the mosque or in the church, this represents a time for compassion, hope, and harmony. It is a time that we must not only seek God but also a closer relationship with brother and neighbour.

"In the Spirit of the holy month and of the Lenten period, and with hearts bestirred by goodwill towards all our people, let us extend a hand as brothers and friends to those in Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Guinea.

"What I suggest in real and practical terms is that we, my colleagues and fellow heads of state in ECOWAS, indefinitely suspend economic sanctions against Niger, Mali, Guinea and Burkina Faso and against the leadership of the military authorities in those nations."

This is one of the most ignorant and uninfomed posts on Nairaland.

The reason why suya is mostly prepared in the evenings is that the meat has to be marinated in spices for hours before being slowly grilled over charcoal heat.

As to getting suya only in the evening, it's a big fat lie. If you go to University of Suya at Allen or the streets opposite Dodan Barracks at Obalende, you'll get suya in the afternoons.

Oildichotomy:
I think suya is actually prepared in the day but barbecued and eaten at night.

You need to see those Abokis preparing the kebab thingy during the day. Besides, I have tasted it in the day and trust me it taste better on a hot day!

So guys, I came up with this easy Nigerian breakfast stew, it is one of my favorites and might just be what you need for today’s breakfast.
Egg stew is the best and simplest sauce for boiled yam or rice, it is prepared with eggs, diced tomatoes, peppers and onion and very easy to fix for breakfast.

This stew is very easy to prepare and gives room for addition of other spices like herbs and vegetables or even fish/minced meat. Instead of using fresh tomatoes, you can as well use canned tomatoes, it taste good with it.
However, egg stew can be served at lunch and dinner as well. Here is simple egg stew recipe for you, watch the video above and see how to make egg stew the easiest way.
This egg stew also complements fried plantain, yam chips and potatoes; you might as well love to pair yours with plain boiled rice.

Ingredients for egg stew
• 3 large eggs, whisked
• 4 large tomatoes, diced
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 stock cube
• 2 scotch bonnets, chopped or dry pepper
• ½ cup of cooking oil
• A pinch of salt

Angelanest:
A Facebook user has shared horrible pictures of how Suya meat are being prepared in an dirty and unhygienic environment. According to him, one needs to think twice before eating the spicy skewered cow meat.

The dirty environment and poor or zero hygiene conditions in which Suya is made and handled in many places in Nigeria, has called for a great concern.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, has warned Nigerians against the consumption of some popular delicacies like Suya is dangerous to the health.

According to the Minister, other forms of meat including Kilishi (spicy dried cow meat) and Ngwo-Ngwo, (assorted meat pepper soup) also lead to the death of many Nigerians as they cause hypertension leading cardiovascular disease in Nigeria and can result in stroke if untreated.

Many Nigerians, however, do not agree with Prof. Adewole as they see the consumption of such delicacies as a must and most times, they come quite cheap.

HOW TO MAKE SUYA

Ingredents- Beef, salt and suya mix spice

Procedure
1.Thinly slice the beef. Combine with salt and suya spice and arrange on bamboo skewers.
2. Grill or bake until beef is cooked through.
3.Serve with fresh tomatoes and onions or even cucumber

Notes for Making Beef Suya:

1. cuts with reasonable amount of fat (this is necessary so the meat doesn’t dry out)
2. Combine prepared meat for suya with a little salt and maggi prior to use
3. The thinner your slice your meat, the less time it needs to cook
4.If using a non-fatty cut of meat, bast (rub) the suya with some oil during the cooking process
When you have prepared your meat,allow it for about 30mins either in the fridge so that the ingredients will enter inside the meat well.
5.As you grill,be monitoring it and turning to get it evenly cooked.

When you are done serve with a glass of wine or your choice.....

Your proof is that they didn't do another moon mission

NASA did and exploration of Pluto when they started the New Horizons probe in July 2015,
So because they were no further trips to the planet Pluto, NASA didn't explore Pluto and it was all a lie. Loooooool

Moon landing, doesn't mean it was a man landings, NASA was landed more than 5 rover's on the moon after the Apollo man landing

There was a report yesterday that the NTA asked General Gowon to speak in Hausa. I'll quote it.




This is not true. What actually happened?

General Gowon visited President Tinubu and after meeting with the president, he spoke to journalists and said something interesting.

He said that a report had circulated that Ecowas asked him to give a press conference about the situation in the subregion but he refused. He said that the report was not true. He said that there was some miscommunication, but that he was going to do the press conference that evening. Here is a video of Gowon's visit to Tinubu and his statement after the visit.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jJiQHJhbpU?si=OEUys95iRA97Hiyx

The reason that General Gowon was asked to do the press conference is because he was one of the founding fathers of Ecowas.

General Gowon had the press conference at the Ecowas Headquarters and seated beside him was the president of the Ecowas Commission, Omar Touray.

The General read a letter that he wrote to heads of state in the subregion and he asked those that wanted to leave Ecowas to come back. He talked about their reasons for founding Ecowas, etc.

He then gave the letter to the president of the commission and asked him to give it to all the heads of state.

After giving the letter to Omar Touray, the MC asked General Gowon to translate it to Hausa. Hausa is the most widely spoken langauge in Niger Republic, one of the countries that wants to leave Ecowas. It is also spoken in Benin, Togo, Ghana and other countries in the region.

However, General Gowon said that he wasn't told that he would have to translate the letter to Hausa and that for 8 or 9 years he has only spoken English and that he can't remember how to speak it. Here is the full video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnzX6bsMRgQ?si=_z3iYuYuZyGyFjxy

It was the Ecowas MC that asked General Gowon to speak in Hausa, not the NTA.


Ecowas knows that Gowon used to speak Hausa, but they didn't know that he has stopped. Here is General Gowon giving an interview to BBC Hausa and he spoke in Hausa here:

Demigod22:
Gowon is Tarok, we have different minority tribes in the core North. The majority tribes is Fulani and Hausa. However, all the minority tribes speak and understand Hausa. The Hausa language is well spoken in the North more than any languages, even more than English.

We have tribes that speak more Hausa than their own language.

On Wednesday, February 21st, 2024, something surprising happened on TV. The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) was showing a live program with Yakubu Gowon, a former leader. At 5:30 pm, during the show, things got tense.

NTA asked Gowon to speak Hausa, a language he didn't want to use. Gowon is good at speaking English, which he preferred. But NTA kept insisting, even though Gowon said no. Then, without warning, NTA suddenly stopped the program. People watching were confused and upset. They went on social media to talk about it.

People are now talking about why this happened and if it was right. They want NTA to explain.

🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin donned a pilot dress and took the pilot seat of a Tu-160M hi-tech supersonic strategic bomber fighter jet on Thursday to personally check the quality of its modernization.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in Russia's southwestern city of Kazan that the head of state arrived on the runway of the Kazan Aviation Plant dressed as a pilot and took the pilot's seat.

"The flight will last some 40 minutes. The route of the flight is a state secret," Peskov said.

https://cloudfront-us-east-2.images.arcpublishing.com/reuters/3DGB7E6QFRJMHENVD6OCHSSBYU.jpg

Tu-160m is a supersonic, variable-sweep wing heavy strategic bomber, called in Russia "White Swan," in NATO -- "Blackjack," it is designed to hit targets in remote areas with nuclear and conventional weapons.

Tu-160m strategic bomber is the largest supersonic aircraft in the history of military aviation and the heaviest combat aircraft in the world.

Putin has already flown several military planes, including fighter jets. Moreover, he has already flown the previous model of the Tu-160 bomber in August 2005.
