Why trying to tell a man where he came from. You can't know his history more than him. Why are you forcing him to be Igbo?

Emzedz:
Kyari was the most corrupt human being on earth. Shame on him n his likes in govt.

Can you State the specifics of his corrupt activities. I read through the statements from the Leader of the protesters but couldn't see any substance. Please help out

Cultural evolution starts from somewhere. This is a good development, we are not complaining

We have passed this level. We already know it's Igbo Coup.
Aside your introductory paragraph was wrong. Ladoke Akintola was already the Leader of Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) by the general election of 1965. Correct yourself.

malali:
What reforms ?
He has been there for 2 years telling me a metric showing that the lives of Nigerians are any better ?

You are naive. Where have you seen reforms that better life of people in the short run? Our pains today are the consequences of our poor decisions of yesterday. These reforms were due since 2007, by now we would have done better

malali:
They are doing the same thing to Nigeria today. Gaddafi stood in their way and they killed him.
Tinubu is accepting all the loans, anything they tell him to do he does it quick.

What if they are blackmailing him with the reports of his Chicago drug case ?
Because the way he is kowtowing to IMF and world bank accepting all their loans and policies, is at record high.

Are you saying the reforms of PBAT are not necessary?

Deffi:
Dr. Braithwait didn't contest in '79. He came up for votes in the 1983 Elections.

Uncle there is a different between a contestant and an aspirant.
Dr Braithwait was an aspirant in 1979 Election

MadamExcellency:
Is 220 volts running through domestic sockets that dangerous to electrocute a full conscious person not immersed in water?



She was killed by lightning storm run through the conductor and not the charger or whatever because the metal door or window will still transfer the ultra high voltage.

I have always been curious about this. I hope someone here can provide scientific explanation not all these fallacy

Politicstoday:
so him too contest niiii

O Yes

Politicstoday:
Meet your presidential aspirants of 1979.

Ipob Biafran comments spotted

As a Woman, I'm sure you either already have a Male child or you desire one. Accusations of a crime as serious as RAPE must be substantiated with hard evidence.
Women have weaponised rape issue.
Check my previous posts and you won't need that comment. I'm an unapologetic Yoruba Man.

rinzaugustine:
Failures are desperate to celebrate one road construction as tinubu achievement after two years….even at that how can you borrow over $800bn to show only one road construction as the only thing you were able to achieve?….you must be in love with perpetual failure and generational poverty to be able to support tinubu…smh

You are so naive.

How is he fairing today in Kwara? Ask him

•She’s a liar, says aunt

In late 2018, Felicia (surname withheld) made a life-changing journey from Abuja, where she had been living with her uncle, to Lagos to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays with one of her aunts.

During her stay, her aunt’s cousin, Mrs Ngozi (surname withheld), reportedly invited the Ebonyi State native to live with her in the Egbeda area of Lagos and promised to also enrol her in school.

On January 4, 2019, 15-year-old Felicia moved in with Ngozi, her husband Emeka, and their children.

Felicia accused the man of the house of giving her inappropriate attention, which escalated to inappropriate physical contact to an instance where he allegedly took her in his car to red-light districts to show her sex workers.

From that point on, Felicia alleged that Emeka repeatedly sexually violated her, with the abuse continuing from September 2021 until May 2022, when she finally fled the couple’s home.

She alleged that when she reported the abuse to Ngozi, the woman continued to support her husband and even forced her to make nude videos to send to Emeka.


In an interview with Saturday PUNCH, Ngozi denied all these allegations, which she described as lies made up by Felicia and some relatives to blackmail and tarnish their reputation.

Now 21 years old, Felicia lamented that her case has been stalled since 2022, when she first reported it to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and seeks justice.

Alleged grooming, sexual molestation

Recounting how the alleged abuse began, Felicia said in May 2021, Emeka instructed her to tell his wife and their senior domestic help that she would not be going to church with them that Sunday because she had stomach ache.

According to her, when everybody left for church, Emeka invited the 17-year-old to one of the rooms in the house and began to ask her a series of questions.

“He told me that he wanted me to feel free, and I said I was. But he insisted I wasn’t, and asked if I could bring my boyfriend to the house. I replied that I didn’t even have a boyfriend. He said he knew what girls did at my age, and then asked me to take off my clothes, but I refused.

“He started touching my breasts, and I started crying. He took me outside the room and said I was behaving like a child. He asked me what I would do for him in return because he’s been the one responsible for my school fees and those of my two brothers, and that I had the opportunity to bring my parents out of poverty. He said he could give me money or anything I wanted. I told him no, that I could not have sex for money.

“He said all he wanted was my body, and he would give me anything that I wanted. He added that with or without money, he would still have his way. Then he started pressing my breasts again, and I started crying. He called me out of the room again and threatened that he must not hear about what transpired from anyone, otherwise, he would kill me,” Felicia said tearfully.

She accused the man of grooming her, alleging that he told her not having sex at her age would have negative effects on her mental health and overall well-being.

Felicia also accused Emeka of exposing her to pornographic material before the first reported incident of sexual abuse, which was said to have occurred in September 2021.

According to her, after she was deflowered by Emeka, she endured repeated sexual assaults by him, occurring both morning and evening.

“Mr Emeka brought up the idea of one of his children sleeping in his room so that every morning when I go there to wake up their boy in their room at about 5am to dress him up for school, he would have sex with me, and it kept happening.

“He also brought up the idea of me following him to the market. Each time we went to the market, he would branch to a hotel and forcefully have sex with me, and before he did this, he always gave me pills,” the 21-year-old alleged.

‘Why I escaped’

Felicia said the first time she confided in Ngozi about the alleged abuse in December 2021, her aunt expressed surprise and asked her why she kept the assaults to herself.

Expressing her fear due to threats from Emeka, Felicia said her aunt told her that the only way her husband could admit to the abuse was if she caught him red-handed in the act.

“She told me to go to him and ask for sex on a particular Sunday and that if he agreed, I should call her on the phone before going to the room. I did exactly as instructed. It was when he had finished having sex with me that she showed up.


“When she came into the room, she started laughing, and I was asked to leave the room. She later came to the room where I was crying and said everything was fine and that I should continue doing what I was doing. That was when I realised she knew about it all along. After that, whenever he (Emeka) called me to come into his room, I would tell her (Ngozi), and she would tell me to go and meet him.

“On another day, she pleaded with me to sleep with her husband, and I refused with tears. She asked me if I can’t help her in her marriage, that if having sex is what I would help her do in the marriage, I should do it,” she alleged.

During her stay with the couple, Felicia claimed that they went to great lengths to prevent her from revealing the truth to her parents, who lived in distant Benue State.

“I didn’t have access to my parents,” Felicia said, her voice tinged with sadness. “The last time I saw them was in 2016. Whenever I spoke to them, Ngozi and her husband were always present. So, every time my parents asked how I was doing, I would have no choice but to tell them I was fine, even though everything was falling apart.”

“Each time I was having my period, he (Emeka) would have sex with me through the anus. Or he would ask me to suck his manhood until he releases in my mouth. The day I swallowed his sperm, I started having serious stomach pains, and I told Ngozi, but she told me to always smile and that if anyone should, for any reason, ask me what was wrong with me, she would deal with me,” she recounted.

Felicia also accused Ngozi of giving her waist beads, urging her to use them to make nude videos for her husband.

According to her, when the alleged abuse became unbearable, Felicia said she started to save up whatever money she could find around the house. Eventually, when she told Emeka that she was pregnant and wanted to have an abortion, he gave her N27,000.

“When I was able to find my way back to Benue State, my mum took me to the hospital for treatment,” she disclosed, her voice trembling slightly. “The results showed that there had been forceful penetration, and that’s all I can remember from that time. Afterwards, my aunt called me, and when she heard about what had happened, she invited me to Abuja.”

Responding to the allegations made against her husband, Ngozi told Saturday PUNCH that she brought Felicia into her home with the intention of helping and giving her a better life.

“We took care of her, enrolled her in a private school, bought her textbooks, and even arranged for a home teacher. I treated her like my own daughter. I wanted her to be closer to Christ as well, so we had her baptised and confirmed in the Anglican Church. But to our surprise, we discovered that this girl was a liar and a pretender. She knows how to play the role assigned to her very well,” Ngozi claimed.

“At first, I started getting several complaints from her school teachers and even the principal. She accused her principal of sexually abusing her. The owner of the school had to call me and advised me to watch her carefully. One day, I got a call from her school that she was caught in one of their laboratories talking to someone on a video call.

“I was alarmed because everybody knows school regulations about phones; how did she take her phone to school? The funny part is that she deleted everything on that phone. The teachers found some nude photos on that phone, and one of the teachers called me to watch out for her,” Ngozi said.

She claimed to have taken the phone from Felicia when they arrived home, and later said she found out that the teenager allegedly sexually abused her one-year-old son.

“When I found out, I called the people who brought her here to report. Later, I discovered that she also steals, which was brought to my attention by one of the senior domestic helpers I had. In December 2021, her aunt visited us, and after hearing about what she had done, she flogged her in my presence.”

“My husband didn’t like it because we don’t treat our kids like that, but there was little I could do, and I blame myself partly because I gave her too much comfort.

“She was well taken care of, and there are photos of her while she was in our house. How could someone being abused look like this? I didn’t treat her differently from my children. I took her to school myself and picked her up. We didn’t go out without her,” she added.

Ngozi blamed what she described as an internal family dispute for the accusations Felicia made against her and her husband, alleging that the families where she had previously lived had been abusive.

“That girl has lived in several states. She was maltreated, and we heard she was trafficked by different men when she was in Abuja. Before she came to our house, she was treated badly. She told me that her aunt used to give her only a sachet of noodles and had once poured hot water on her,” Ngozi said.

“They were teaching her to say all these bad things about me and my husband. Come to think of it, what kind of woman would allow her husband to sleep with another girl, let alone a girl of her age? She claims I recorded her nude videos. But wasn’t it she and her aunt who posted those videos on social media?”She then showed our correspondent a TikTok video dated June 14, 2022, on her phone, which depicted Felicia wearing revealing clothes and a waist bead, dancing seductively.

Ngozi alleged that this was one of the videos found on Felicia’s phone after she left their home, adding that the girl was also involved in lesbianism.

“Her classmates said it, and that’s the truth; that girl is a lesbian. She hated her parents and even her aunt here in Lagos. Everything she said about us is a lie. I refused to release her phone, and we warned her that lesbianism carries a 14-year sentence, which was why she fled our house,” Ngozi added.

“She stole my jewellery, my children’s clothes, and money before escaping,” Ngozi alleged. “It was only after she left that we discovered on her phone that she was doing giveaways on social media; they even called her ‘cash madam.’ She also had a boyfriend in Benin City, Edo State, because we initially thought that’s where she ran off to and even spoke with him.”

Ngozi showed our correspondent a photo on her phone, revealing Felicia with a young man, likely in his early 20s.

“We kept searching for her, put her photo on blogs, and reported the matter to the police. We also tried calling her mother, but her phone wasn’t connecting. It was only later that her mother called me to say that Felicia was back at their place and said some unpleasant things to me,” she added.


Efforts to reach Emeka for comment were unsuccessful, as his phone was switched off and messages sent via SMS and WhatsApp had not been replied to at the time of filing this report.

NAPTIP vows justice

Saturday PUNCH gathered that after Felicia fled the couple’s house, she reported the alleged abuse to the NAPTIP Headquarters in Abuja, where her statement was taken. She further explained that her case was referred to the NAPTIP Lagos office because the incidents occurred within the state. Despite being invited twice to give a follow-up statement, Felicia lamented that there had been no progress or updates on her case to date.

It was also revealed that in June 2022, the couple were arrested by NAPTIP in connection with the allegations.

However, they were later released on bail, leaving the case hanging in limbo.

After the case went cold, Felicia and her family turned to a popular human rights radio programme known as Brekete Family, hoping to bring attention to the matter.

Ngozi, said after the case was broadcast on the show, her family was subjected to intense online trolling, threats and curses from angry members of the public.

“My phone numbers were posted online, and one of my husband’s stores had to be shut down after a mob showed up to destroy it. This is the reward for helping someone in need. We were even invited, along with Felicia, to the Police Force Headquarters in June 2022 to provide our statements,” Ngozi explained.

Felicia, on the other hand, accused one of Emeka’s in-laws of allegedly harassing and threatening her aunt, attempting to coerce the family into burying the case altogether.

Meanwhile, a source at NAPTIP’s Lagos office confided in our correspondent that as of March 2025, Felicia’s case file could not be found, but assured that it would be reopened for further investigation.

A letter addressed to NAPTIP, dated April 2, 2025, and signed by Felicia’s legal counsel, Martin Agba, a copy of which was forwarded to our correspondent, partly read, “Given the serious nature of the matter and the significant time that has passed, I kindly seek information regarding the current status of the investigation and any actions taken so far.

“I would appreciate any details regarding: the progress made in the investigation since it was reopened in March 2025, any legal proceedings or pending actions concerning the suspect, possible next steps and estimated timelines for further development.”

Commenting on the case, NAPTIP Press Officer, Mr Vincent Adekoye, assured that the agency was committed to ensuring justice and a fair hearing in the matter.

He emphasised that NAPTIP would continue to work diligently to resolve the case and ensure accountability for any wrongdoing.

This idea of accusing people of heinous crimes such as RAPE without any shred of proof other than words of mouth is horrible. At 17, with access to phone, she could have had recorded voice or pictures as evidence. The story of a woman watching her husband have sex with a house help and happy is hard to believe.
The family has been hounded, derided and shamed from just words of mouth without any concrete evidence.
For all males and those who have Male children, this is a dangerous trend and we must all condemn it.

For real, this boy was bundled to Kirikiri just because he had no one speaking for him. If you like no hustle. The world especially Apc Nigeria is unforgiven to broke men.

I'm sure you don't even know how he got to the prison

Racoon:
So much injustice for always supporting a good and just cause. The criminal structure in this nation needs to be dismantled for people to be liberated.

Yeah I agree. But how is this related to issue of opposition. This was orchestrated by envious criminal gangs in his creed. He is very lucky that it's only frame up, in some instances, it could have led to fatality.
When fortune smiles at you, it's best to relocate. Crime of passion.

Something is seriously wrong with this guy.

But he's saying the fact

I foresee another 30 months civil but this time it would the North Vs South and after that we break up

Which North, which South?

All I have to say is thank you Trump

Wetin concern Trump here. This judgement was delivered in UK not USA

If true. The government owes it to the citizens to demand that whatever platform the money was transferred to return the money to the government and have it dispersed back to victims.

Which government? The government you guys want to stone when they demanded that crypto currency/fx trading be regulated

madridguy:
Here is the list of Nigeria's prison demographics by tribe for the year 1958-1959:

- Hausa: 4,967 inmates
- Benin: 2,304 inmates
- Yoruba: 8,870 inmates
- Igbo: 18,445 inmates

As early as 1958, the Igbo were the largest ethnic group represented in Nigerian prisons, a trend that continues to this day.

No be today

Fujiyama:
^^^
No.

He isn't some bold, visionary reformer.

He is a hardcore prebendalist (if such a word exists) - and you can see the results around you.

I shared a different perspective with you. My only major disagreement with Tinubu is the size of government. PBAT and the Governors should reduce cost of government and pass more of the benefits of the reforms to the people.
Of course government would have collapsed without those reforms. I have argued for these changes since Yaradua as President (he sent Nigeria backward during his short tenor).

Scumberger:
Your dad didn't achieve anything and your on the same part, if obi had advised his zombies to patronize made in Nigeria you will be here celebrating calling him ur president but now it's not making sense to you

Obi is the Chief Importer. I wonder why he hasn't began local production of those products brand that he's still importing todate

festacman:
Going beyond the misleading headline and actually reading this article, it becomes obvious that this piece of poor PR is about how current FG's policies are "a total reshaping of how Nigerians CONSUME, SURVIVE, and ADAPT." It is unfortunate because that's recipe for hardship and not prosperity.

On the contrary, government polies should be deliberate effort to reshape how Nigerians PRODUCE, INNOVATE, CONSUME and PROSPER. Sadly, two years after inauguration, there is still no economic road map on the table. No programes and incentive package to encourage local production. Ministers of Trade and Investment, Agriculture, Blue Economy etc. seem to be sleeping.

God help Nigeria. We have a long way to go with this government.

You didn't tell us how better a government should do it. Only criticism.
I'm not a fan of PBAT, but I like his reforms which I have for years suggested.
A leader must be able to take tough decisions, he did.

Mrexcell:
Credit him for what is uzodima not also receiving the same federal monthly allocations?

You should ask Uzodima what he's doing with the funds

I think you guys should for once credit President Bola Tinubu for the reforms.
That's the source of Money for Otti

Yourbaslayer:
This is one very unintelligent post, i don't even know why he's even responding to your useless comments

Typical of Igbos, arrogant and Chest beating. I'm not surprised, reasons why you people are completely without friends and allies in the current Nigeria. You insults everyone who do not share your views, especially those who knows more than you.

pazienza:
Lol! Yes Lagos wasn't ahead as of 1905.
Infact Lagos Colony ( SW) couldn't afford the dredging of the port in Lagos as of 1905, and other capital projects..
But immediately it was joined to Southern protectorate( SS and SE) in 1906, money was provided to dredge Lagos port over Calabar port that was originally planned for,and alot of capital intensive projects that Lagos colony had no funds for, miraculously commenced.
And we all know where the money came from. That's when the robbing of Peter( SE and SS ) to pay Paul started, even before the second amalgamation took place in 1914.

For saying this, You are obviously not as literate as you portrayed yourself.

gidgiddy:
Blame the current generation who have chosen to remain short sighted over a Nigeria that can never work

And you covering up your vision less forefathers. While Awolowo already thought ahead, your forefathers buried in the national domination agenda could not see beyond their nose.
For us the current generation, you are not going to dictate to us when, if we want
