PoliticsBREAKING: Senate Rejects 2019 Budget (see Why) by LegendVibes(op): 12:23pm On Apr 02, 2019
The 2019 Budget of the Ministry of Trade and Investment has been rejected by the Nigeria Senate.

Igbere TV gathered that the rejection followed alleged discovery of an illegal ‘Special Economic Zone’ Company, listed for appropriation when the Minister of Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah appeared for budget defence on Monday.

Findings by Igbere TV showed that the total budget was put at N15.63 billion.

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade and Investment, Senator Sabo Mohammed while referring to item two on page seven of the budget booklet presented by the ministry, said the company was not known to be one of the 17 agencies under the ministry.

According to Mohammed, a document obtained by the committee from the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) containing information on how the company was registered, shows that it was a private company.

He, therefore, directed the minister to forward detailed written explanation on how the company got into the appropriation list, its management staff list, staff strength as well as statement of account before consideration of 2019 budget proposal.

PoliticsEFCC Speaks On Plans To Arrest Okorocha, Others May 29 by LegendVibes(op): 11:27pm On Apr 01, 2019
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Sunday said there are no plans to arrest outgoing governors of Imo, Ogun and Zamfara states over alleged financial misconduct.

This was in response to a media report that the commission was planning to arrest and detain three governors immediately they lose their immunity on May 29.

Igbere TV recalls that a national daily had reported that the EFCC was raising a team to grill three outgoing governors at the end of their tenure.

The newspaper listed Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun) and Abulaziz Yari (Zamfara) as the state governors.

It claimed that ahead of May 29, 2019 handover date to newly elected governors of these states, the commission has set up teams to probe the governors who have been accused of perpetuating acts of corruption.

Reacting, however, the EFCC in a statement made available to Igbere TV by its Acting Spokesman, Tony Orilade, said the report is not true.

The commission said it does not go after anybody, including ex-governors on speculative grounds.

The EFCC, therefore, called on the media to be circumspect and verify their stories before going to press.

“It is instructive to note that the report did not give the composition and terms of reference of the purported teams set up by the EFCC.

“The report is a figment of the imagination of the reporter as everything about the setting of the teams ended with the first paragraph without details of such teams being set up.

“Again, the story is not true, as the EFCC does not go after anybody, including ex-governors on speculative grounds.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the commission only acts after the investigators have done a thorough job on any individual or firm involved in corruption related cases,” the statement read.

PoliticsBattle For NASS Leadership Splits APC; El-rufai, Tinubu Clash by LegendVibes(op): 6:56pm On Apr 01, 2019
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is said to have broken into different camps ahead of the inauguration of the incoming ninth assembly, in a bid to enthrone new leadership of both the upper and lower legislative chambers.

The move, Igbere TV learnt, is part of an underground plot to curtail the desperation of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, national leader of the party, to install his loyalists Femi Gbajabiamila and Ahmed Lawan as Reps Speaker and Senate President, respectively.

Sources privy to the move told Igbere TV that loyalists of Tinubu now have some other faction being led by the governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai to contend with in the build up to the inauguration of the 9th assembly.

Our source disclosed that the faction led by El-Rufai, are being sponsored by some state governors and a number of ministers who are opposed to the planned takeover of the national assembly by Tinubu in preparation for his perceived 2023 presidential contest.

It was gathered that, while the team opposed to Tinubu may not fight the choice of Ahmed Lawan as Senate President, they are already plotting to scuttle the chances of the South-West producing the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

The source also revealed that El-Rufai had already met with President Muhammadu Buhari over the weekend, warning him of inevitable consequence of allowing Tinubu to install his loyalists in the National Assembly.

The move by El-Rufai who has also been rumoured to be nurturing a secret agenda of becoming the party's flag bearer in 2023, our source said, is to ensure that Tinubu does not scuttle his plan of becoming president.

It was also learnt that there is a cold war in the camp of the National Chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, who is said to be working in sync with the Tinubu camp.

However, investigation revealed that Oshiomhole has a personal agenda to enthrone a South-South person into the position of Deputy Senate President, a move our source said is threatening to put him in conflict with Tinubu, who he said is secretly plotting to install his wife, Remi into the position.

The Oshiomhole-led APC, Igbere TV gathered, is moving to zone the position of DSP to the South-South on the pretext that the South-West had produced the Vice President.

However, our source said that the Oshiomhole camp is already divided over what he described as the autocratic nature of the party chairman.

While some members of the camp were said to be working towards frustrating his plan, others are pushing for a secret ballot system to elect the new national assembly leadership where no one would monitor whom they vote for.

CrimeUgandan Man Commits Suicide After Being Dumped By His Fiancee (Photos) by LegendVibes(op): 6:27pm On Mar 21, 2019
A former student of Makerere University Business School, Arthur Basalirwa, posted a screenshot from a WhatsApp chat, dedicated to a one ‘D” and it read;

“Hi D. You will always ask yourself if you had sent me a more meaningful text. These are your last words to me. Goodbye D.”


From the screenshots of the WhatsApp chat he shared, Basalirwa seemed to have undergone a rough breakup with his girlfriend. His friends say that he was planning his marriage, after visiting his fiance’s parents at a traditional Kukyala ceremony.


Hours before that, Basalirwa posted to his Whatsapp a status note saying; “I am sorry but it’s too late, I’m sorry, too much weighing on me I don’t wanna live to see another day.”


However, these cries for help went unnoticed, with only a simple ‘bambi’ as a comment from one of his friends, until hours later when others learnt about his sudden death.


It is however not yet clear how Basalirwa ended his life, but friends have taken to Facebook to pay tribute to him.


Fathil Ali Amutuhaire wrote, “R.I.P Arthur. It has taken me a while to believe he is gone. I wish I had read this sign. I ain’t relenting. This ain’t yielding. The grief, the shock… I’m not even sure if my words are making sense… I saw myself in the slithering darkness, the lull of sleep, the memes, how can you kill pain that is only felt? How can you fight something you can’t see?”


Basalirwa's friends have taken to Facebook to share photos from his burial while mourning his death.

PoliticsRegina Daniels Blasts Buhari As She's Made Coordinator In Atiku's Campaign Team by LegendVibes(op): 8:23pm On Jan 21, 2019
Teenage Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels has taken to her Instagram page to slam President Buhari while campaigning for his opponent Atiku Abubakar, Igbere Tv reports.

The teen actress, who was appointed to Atiku's campaign team as the Youth Campaign Coordinator For Nollywood, announced her appointment on her Instagram page while also calling out the incumbent president, report by Igbere Tv.

See what she wrote on her Instagram page below;
"I'm Regina Daniels. Proud to be 100% Atikulated with Atiku Abubakar who is in the race to become Nigeria's next President. I accept my appointment as Youth Campaign Coordinator For Nollywood with humility and youthful zeal. Atiku is a youth-friendly leader who has assured that every 4 out of 10 of his cabinet will be a youth. It can't sure get any better.

The incumbent called President "Bubu" is a myriad of lies, inuendos, deceit, incompetence, tyranny, inability, inadequacies, glaring misfit and the downright collapse of the basic structure of the Nigerian society.

The drift is brazen. The nation is at crossroads. The land bleeds from hunger and inertia. It's time to steer the ship away from caput. From Bama to Bori, Aba to Abuja, kaura Namode to Kaduna, the sky is gloomy.

Time for Nigerian Youths to join me and vote Atiku/Obi 2019 to protect our future."

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari narrowly escaped another embarrassing scenario after he almost fell while trying to take a seat at the just concluded All Progressives Congress rally in Kaduna, Igbere TV reports.

Recall that just two days ago, Igbere Tv shared a video where Buhari slipped during an APC rally held in Kogi State and just on Thursday, he goofed at another rally held in Delta state where he handed his party's flag to yet another phantom 'APC presidential candidate'.

The latest gaffe by Buhari has led many people to believe that all is not well with the President as 2019 election gets closer. Many Nigerians are worried about the true status of his health.

CrimeMan Who Posed As US Soldier & Scammed Woman Out Of $370,000 Arrested (pics) by LegendVibes(op): 5:50am On Jan 12, 2019
A Nigerian man living in Queensland, Australia has been arrested and charged after allegedly posing as a United States soldier online and forming a romantic relationship with a 34-year-old woman who sent him $370,000 all in the name of love, IgbereTv report.


Cosmos Emeh, 32, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday, where it was revealed he had also been accused of trying to get the victim to send him a further $170,000 before officers swooped and arrested him at his Durack home on Thursday.


Mr Emeh, who is in Australia on a student visa, allegedly received the money over the course of three months from the 34-year-old Brisbane woman, who later contacted police and sparked the investigation.


According to his defence lawyer, the accused has been in Australia for two years, has no criminal history, is studying a certificate of urban and environmental planning at Griffith University and already holds a bachelor degree.


He had rented a Durack home with his partner, a permanent citizen, since entering the country.


According to his defence lawyer, Mr Emeh claimed the SIM card he was found with, allegedly associated with the phone number used to ask the victim for money, had only been in his possession since Thursday after it was sent to him.


The court heard Mr Emeh denied knowing the victim prior to Thursday, having any contact with her on the internet, being the instigator of the relationship or knowing he was involved in a scam.


However, Mr Emeh conceded that he may look suspicious in the circumstances, his lawyer said.


Police will allege the woman became involved with Mr Emeh on a social media platform in October 2018 while he was claiming to be a US soldier in Syria.


"Over the course of the following months, the victim was groomed into believing the stories provided by the criminal and formed an online romantic relationship," a police spokesman said, before the man faced court.


"The victim sent over $200,000 to the 'US soldier' via a series of transfers through a money transfer service."


Prior to his court appearance, police issued a public warning after uncovering a "disturbing element" within the alleged scam. They claimed the accused - acting as an agent for the soldier he was allegedly impersonating - travelled to the victim's home to collect another $105,000.


In court, prosecutors alleged Mr Emeh had received a total of $370,000 from the victim.


Detective Superintendent Terry Lawrence of the state crime command’s financial and cyber crime group said the alleged scam was common worldwide.


“The US Army Criminal Investigation Command receives hundreds of complaints a month from people who find themselves involved in an online relationship with someone purporting to be a US soldier," he said.


"Usually the offender's interaction with the victim is all online so this further step of travelling to the victim’s home is certainly something we need the public to hear and be warned of today."


Detective Inspector Vince Byrnes, of the same squad, said these were the first allegations he knew of that a scammer had met with their victim in person to collect money.


"In this case, the disturbing development is a person attending the address ... the nature of this scam makes it different," he said.


"They claimed to be an agent acting on behalf and by prearrangement between the alleged US soldier and the victim."


Inspector Byrnes alleged once the romantic relationship was established, the accused spoke about importing property into Australia.


"It may have been held up in relation to a customs or a revenue issue associated with that and that person didn’t have access to funds," he told reporters.


"The scammer (would ask) 'could you please help me by providing some funds to me to release my property?'
"In this case, there was a backstory with the US military officer that involved the loss of close family members so ... perhaps sympathy and empathy and this is what these scammers do."


Superintendent Lawrence urged those using social media platforms to develop friendships or relationships online to stay alert.


"I know emotions may make that harder but arm yourself with the knowledge that these scams are occurring to everyday members of the community like you," he said.


“Take the time to evaluate the relationship, talk to friends and other loved ones about your new relationship online. We are thankful the victim in this instance took this step."


Mr Emeh appeared in Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday, where he was remanded in custody awaiting a committal callover in the on February 11.


"I find he is an unacceptable risk of committing further offences and also an unacceptable risk of failing to appear," the magistrate said.


"A false passport has been used, a photocopy of a passport that didn’t exist, was used as part of the ID in relation to it.


"It’s a substantial amount [of money], he has ties to the community, I’m not satisfied that he wouldn’t use other means and could continue, despite any provision put in his bail, to offend."


Investigations are continuing.

The Peoples Democratic Party says it has become a clean and spotless party since 'all its corrupt members have defected to the ruling APC', IgbereTv news reports.


The party said this when it participated at a political stakeholders’ forum organised by the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria in Ikeja, Lagos on Thursday January 10th.


Kunle Okunola who is a member of the House of Representatives candidate and represented PDP at the dialogue, said the party has no corrupt member at the moment.


“We are the only party that went through democratic selection when we were doing the structural replacement of our hierarchy, including the presidential candidate of our party. A party that does not practice internal democracy cannot help Nigeria out of the problem it has found itself.

We have provided the leadership. And the corruption that they put on our neck, we have shed all the corrupt party leaders to the APC and I can say it. So, the PDP is free of corruption; APC is the mother of corruption for the past 3 years,” Okunola said.

CrimePolice Declare NURTW Worker Wanted For Attempting To Disrupt APC Rally by LegendVibes(op): 3:45am On Jan 09, 2019
The Lagos State Police Command has declared a chieftain of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Mustapha Adekunle aka Seigo, wanted over the violence that erupted at the APC governorship rally in Lagos state on Tuesday January 8th, IgbereTv news report.


A statement by the state police spokesman Chike Oti, says Mustapha Seigo, came to the rally with a group of people and were identified at the entrance as supporters of the party.


“However, at the tail end of the event, Seigo and his group for a reason yet to be determined, violently engaged other supporters of the party. In the ensuing melee, one MC Oluomo, another NURTW chieftain, was stabbed and was rushed to EKO Hospital where he is currently recuperating while two other victims of the attack were taken to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) for treatment. The crisis was quickly contained by policemen at the venue.” Oti stated


It will be recalled that a few hours before the rally started, the Commissioner of Police Imohimi Edgal held a meeting with the leaders of the NURTW and the Road Transport Employers Association (RTEAN) and other affiliate groups where all the parties agreed to eschew violence before, during and after the electioneering.
“It was therefore surprising that a prominent member of NURTW would attempt to violently disrupt a peaceful political rally. In view of the development, the Command wishes to encourage members of the public with useful information on the whereabouts of Mustapha Adekunle popularly known as Seigo to report such at the nearest police station,” he said

IgbereTv learnt that two persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.
