Report of Ultrasound scan done by the Op and his GF which showed she was carrying a twin pregnancy is a sufficient evidence and if the hospital where the abortion was procured is known, the police know how to get 'evidence' in such matters because that is one of their commonest means of getting money.

In Nigeria, formication between two consenting adults may be seen as immoral but not necessarily illegal, however abortion is a criminal offense.

baralatie:
mehn you are seriously vexing!

traeces:
This makes zero sense and to think its coming from Ambode breaks my heart.
How can anybody spend 12 billion naira in 1 year to power 31,500 street light when with readily available solar energy solutions, 40-60,000 naira will power a street light for over a decade bringing total to less than 2 billion.
So why

I laugh at those who truly thinks this lady in question actually lost her husband.
If only you no d extent people go to declare asylum so that dey can have papers.
This lady in question is

1. Not a northerner, that's why she smartly sworn to an affidavit to change her name to erase all doubt

2. Didn't lost anybody, cos d time she lost her husband and d time she travelled to d USA is just too close.

I can go on and on, but my point is that, this is just a normal format to get a USA papers

Alvin007:
I already did...just didn’t like the way she sounded like it was ‘completely’ written off..I hope she knows she has a fan?..

OPL 216: A block No One Wanted

As unbelievable as it may sound today, OPL 216 was an oil block that no one wanted. Not even the IOCs. Why?

The OPL 216 acreage is located in the deep offshore area in the Gulf of Guinea, in water depths of over 1,300 metres (1.3 kilometres). At the time of award, the block had no known proven reserve, and was considered uneconomically viable by IOCs. In addition, even if there were proven commercial reserves, because of its location and water depth, it would require significant capital and expensive but not proven deep-water technology to explore and develop. Deepwater offshore technology was still at its infancy then. There were no Floating Production Storage and offloading (FPSO) terminals available then. Thus several IOCs rejected the block when the Nigerian government offered it to them for almost nothing.

Enter Famfa Oil

Famfa Oil, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Alakija, applied for and was awarded OPL 216 in 1993. .....

Two things strike me about this story which disputes this allegation and lends credence to Mrs. Alakija’s entrepreneurial status, tenacity and focus as the main reason she got the block. First is the fact that Famfa Oil was incorporated in 1991, obviously when the first round of awards was issued and granted. This shouldn’t be strange as all Nigerian companies awarded OPL licenses to were also incorporated then. Her company Famfa, clearly wasn’t favoured in that first round, despite her supposed closeness to the then first lady.

Second is that Mrs. Alakija must have had a very clear vision of her future, and didn’t “stumble luckily” into big oil. Despite a price tag of US$1.5 million, she still persisted and went ahead to apply for an oil prospecting license for a second time, two years after her first attempt. Mrs. Alakija certainly did not set out to acquire OPL 216. She was only “unfortunate” to be awarded the block no one wanted.

Now was Mrs. Alakija and Famfa Oil undeservedly awarded the OPL by the IBB regime? The answer is clearly “No” as the award of the OPL to Mrs. Alakija and her company followed the rule of law, and the guidelines for discretionary awards. Mrs. Alakija must have met all requirements leading to the award, or eventually perfected them with time, as many in her shoes did then. In addition, the award of the OPL to Mrs. Alakija had no conflict of interest, as is the case with OPL 245 (Malabu Oil). https://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2018/02/27/folorunso-alakijas-oil-block-a-model-of-nigerian-elite-racketeering-by-odion-omonfoman/

Alvin007:
You ‘will’ reject it, or you rejected it?...since she said ‘everyone’ rejected it.

Alvin007:
Bro...even after all the survey...I’m sure you won’t still reject it..are you kidding me?

Alvin007:
Don’t mind ‘em...just like that elderly woman saying she took up responsibility for an oil block that everyone rejected..pls help me...who rejects an oil block?

Alvin007:
Congrats...next time go into ‘deep’ details..on how you made it. I’m happy for you.

for your information Akwa United plays there every home match day

NwaAmaikpe:
She remarried just after 3years?

This is a shame.
A proof that no woman is loyal.
A proof that their love is seamlessly transferrable.

A widow should remain celibate till she dies,
A widow should not even remarry.
She is lucky that her husband's ghost is the lenient type, if not this betrayal of love qualifies for him to strike her mad.

I pity men who don't cheat on their spouse, just keep shortchanging yourself.
Know that life is not fair and husbands have a greater tendency to die before their wives.

And the moment you die, she will start scouting for a new feeder.

Deadlytruth:
Even the bolded is not conclusive because where I currently reside in Lagos, there is this Asaba neighbour of mine who claims his father was an unrepentant AG and UPN member in the respective dispensations.
He himself praises Awolowo at every opportunity.
Perhaps he is just an exception to the generality.
However, from my own open minded research the Midwesterners I can say truly have anti-Awolowo misgivings with genuine reasons are the Urhobos and Ijaws native to Warri due to the former's role in the Warri traditional stool saga.

Whither The Anioma? (1) - By M.A. Agbamuche:

What inspired the idea of Anioma is a matter for speculation; however, what is beyond dispute is that at the time of the creation of the then Mid-West Region in 1963, what passed as the political leadership of what is now Delta North Senatorial District had embraced the idea of Anioma. That of course was hardly surprising given the cultural homogeneity and similarity of outlook, consequent upon common history. As a politician and historian, the late Chief D.C. Osadebay did not need convincing about the benefits of creating for his primary constituency a unifying idea/force.

Against that background, it must be remembered that the area in question is a small part of what was then the Western Region of Nigeria which in the circumstances of that time, was not a bad government for the Anioma. It did not, for instance, deny the Anioma the benefits of free Primary Education, it introduced in the old Western Region. Recruitment into its civil service was largely based on merit and consequently persons of Anioma origin with ability, were enabled to begin a career in the public service, that led for many to the very top at the Federal level. Anioma indigenes were beneficiaries of Western Region’s overseas scholarships.

Michael Ashikodi Agbamuche (August 16, 1920 – April 17, 1998) was a former Attorney General and Minister of Justice for the Federal Republic of Nigeria from September 1994 to 1997, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), was elected in 1979 to the Federal House of Representatives and the Nnaobodo of Akwukwu-Igbo.

MonPro:
Dey deceive yourself with your fake abooki statistics and census.

MonPro:
Your abooki census say otherwise but we know the truth. Add ethnicity and religion in the next census make we see.

MonPro:
Igbos actually have the highest population in nigeria. They are the most populated in the East and second most populated in other regions after the indigenes. They are also in EVERY COUNTRY OF THE WORLD.

So tell your dumbohari to conduct a proper census without counting cows and goats like 1st class brains like Odumegwu wanted to do before almajiri bigots like kwankwaso forced him to resign. You can't hide the truth forever, you can't cover the sun with your palm.

I don talk say I no go laugh today, but...!

LZAA:
well any true igbo person knows that zik never did such
and Awo was no saint either,he was rightly thrown in jail for treason in 64 and finally yes for a non yoruba ur awo defense is strange cuz outside yorubaland he was never loved by the midwest(who broke out from the western region) and the east were indifferent concerning him

ubunja:
its not a big deal. whatever you say. its not.

Atouke:
If you were not just an empty barrel that's making ussless noise you would have known that the Federal government policy bars state govt from exploiting minerals from Thier state and vest such power in the FG.

Gerrard59:
You come across as a cretinous fvcktard! I'd do better in defending Udom. Even a top academic in Uniuyo is disappointed in him. Yet, you come to praise the man.

Nonsense!

Akwa Ibom comes amongst the top three states with high gas reserves, but electricity is a problem in the state. And this disrupt businesses and further induces a downturn in the economy. Result? Unemployment! What's the fvcktard from Onna doing? Building stadium and ecumenical centres!
