Sharp guy, I no blame you jare

geezyk: There's this frnd of mine whom I'm also suspecting of being involved in rituals,he has this money on a daily basis and he spends excessively on drinks and liquor,everyone around him at that time drinks to stupor,but wat baffles me is that he'll never give u money to pay for the drinks or even give u money to eat even when u're about to die.. And moreover he still stays at his parents house.. In a week we spend in excess of 300k on drinks only..he has no car,no house and he rarely buys clothes,buh frm wat I noticed,I think he's using some ppls aura for his wealth,So as a bad sharp guy I just decided to keep away frm him b4 he eventually starts using mine.....

Hmmm really deep issue. It's unfortunate that this practice is inherent in our society. Innocent bloods have been shed just because some people want to be rich overnight. This ugly practice is shown in nollywood films to create awareness but its got its negative side too as people in other parts of the world have started viewing Nigerians as money rituals. Can you imagine I was having a discussion with a friend the other day and she raised the issue that most Nigerians make money rituals and I was highly embarrassed.

Lol

In a statement made to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Jos, on Wednesday, the Chairman, Dogs Sellers Association, Fwagul Dog Market chapter inJos, Mr. Oliver Gowon, speaking on behalf of dog sellers in Jos, have called on the Plateau State Government to build a permanent market to enable them to transact their business without hitches.

According to Mr Gowon, “What we have is a temporary market and this is neither good nor conducive for the growth of our business… We were formerly at the old Jos market before we were moved to this rented plot of land. We are appealing to the State Government to establish a dog [market] in the greater Jos master plan… We want a market that is fenced to minimise the rate at which dogs escape each time they break loose… We also want stalls we can lock, as well as pipe borne water, electricity and other amenities that would improve the sanitary condition of our trade.’’

The Dog Sellers Association believe that, not only is the establishment of a permanent market for them very necessary, they also believe that the dog market in the state is now so lucrative as to contribute significantly to the economy of the state! The chairman of the sellers’ association continues, “Government can generate a lot of revenue from the dog market because people do come from distant places on daily basis to buy both live dogs and the prepared meat.’’

Yes, you heard it right there, “prepared meat”, for those who might have been thinking the association caters to the sales of the live animal alone, perhaps as pet – which is what most people use the dog for. Well, we wish the Dog Sellers Association in Jos luck with their plea.

• Yar’Adua’s head considered as bust

From ISAAC ANUMIHE, Abuja

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will very likely release into the market on September 1, 2012, a N5,00 0 currency, under its on-going currency and payment reform scheme. The currency, according to a very reliable and close source in the apex bank, was considered because of the CBN’s cashless policy, which will be extended to other parts of Nigeria by next year.

The source also disclosed that the N5000 currency is like a guarded secret by the CBN, which it plans to release as a surprise to the market. The N5,000 single note will be the fifth note to be introduced into the economy in 13 years.

The first was N100 introduced in 1999, by the then Governor of CBN, Mr. Joseph Sanusi. Also, in 2000 and 2001, N200 and N500 denominations, respectively were introduced into the economy. The apex bank also in 2005 launched the N1000 denomination under the immediate past Governor of CBN, Professor Chukwuma Soludo.

It is speculated that the late President Umaru Yar’Adua’s head will be the bust on the note as mark of honour to him for his contributions to the polity and national economy.

Our source disclosed also that the CBN plans to make the currency a bit scarce unlike other currencies to ensure it does not disturb the volume of money in circulation or cause adverse effect of inflation.

However, on contact with the CBN on phone, a top officer denied any such plan. The official told Daily Sun that it was not true that the apex bank ever comtemplated a plan. “Forget that story. It is not true,” he said.

Two fresh explosions were reported in Kano on Thursday.
The explosions, according to an eyewitness, occurred within a few minutes apart near a mosque in the Gyadi Gyadi area of the Kano State capital.
The witness said the blasts occurred at Press Road and Court Road.
He said the first one was an explosion from an Improvised Explosive Device while the second appeared to have been a controlled detonation by the police anti-bomb squad.
He said soldiers diverted traffic away from the scenes of the explosions, to keep people away from harm.

A suspected sponsor of the dreaded sect Boko Haram has been caught while arming youths in Nasarawa Township in Chikun local government of Kaduna State. He was arrested this morning around 1:00am.

There were reported gunshots by his supporters when an army officer on a tip off from the 1st Division of Nigerian Army Kaduna stormed his family to initiate a search, following which rocket launchers, IEDs materials, soldiers uniforms, army belts, cartridges, pump actions guns and some AK47 assault rifles were found and taken away by the Nigerian military team that carried out the action.

The arrested gunrunner is Comrade Nuhu Mohammed who is former chairman of petroleum drivers association in Kaduna. He is currently being held in an undisclosed military base in Kaduna.

It was also gathered youths in the area this morning when the combined team of soldiers, SSS and police went to the area around 9am for additional search resisted their arrival in to the community.

The youths started stoning the security and some wanted to shoot but were restrained by a senior military officer in charge of operations.


FG seeks transfer of Boko Haram linkman To Abuja


The Federal Government has requested for the immediate transfer of Alhaji Nuhu Mohammed Babawo (popularly known as “Intelligent”) to Abuja. The suspect, who was alleged to have a link a with Boko Haram, was arrested for possession of arms and ammunition by  soldiers in the early hours of Sunday in Kaduna.

LEADERSHIP had exclusively reported that the suspect was apprehended over alleged possession of arms and ammunition including military and police uniforms at his residence.

As at the time of filling this report, LEADERSHIP gathered that the suspect was yet to make any  comment regarding his alleged involvement with the Boko Haram sect.

Mohammed, a former chairman of the Petroleum Tankers Drivers in the state, was arrested by soldiers at his residence in Trikania, a suburb of Kaduna metropolis on a tip off.

LEADERSHIP authoritatively gathered that authorities in Abuja  are interested in the matter and have requested that the suspect should be transferred  to the nation’s  capital after the preliminary investigation of the case.

A security source told LEADERHIP that the suspect had a link with the Boko Haram sect and that “ a security agency   is still investigating to unravel more information.”

New Grammar of Patrick Obiagbon - Cabalocrazy , lol

As year 2012 is fast approaching, Nigerians have been told to prepare for hard times as hunger, anger, anarchy and

starvation will reign supreme, just as a military strike has been predicted in the coming year.

This was part of the predictions made by prophets and an astrologer , including Founder of the Evangelical Church of Yaahweh, Primate T.O. Olabayo; Founder and Spiritual Head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Babatunde Elijah Ayodele and Alhaji Ali Abdul–rashed, who spoke with Saturday Tribune on what 2012 holds in stock for Nigeria and Nigerians.

According to them, Nigerians should brace up for hard times next year arising from harsh economic situation that will lead to loss of jobs, insecurity due to incessant armed robbery attacks and Boko Haram insurgence, among others, with Primate Olabayo predicting that a messiah that will take the country to the promised land would emerge after the first quarter of the year.

“President Goodluck Jonathan is not the messiah that the nation needs at the moment. Even before Jonathan became president, I had predicted that his time will witness a lot of terrorism and bombings. That time, I advised that a Northerner should be allowed to rule first; that Jonathan is still young. He is a forerunner, not the messiah,” Olabayo said in his prediction for 2012.

He declared that there will be anarchy in the country which would lead to a military strike even though he said there will be no coup de’ tat.

Olabayo, who predicted that hunger, anger, anarchy and starvation would would be witnessed in the country, added that there would be revolution which would pitch the poor against the rich.

“Nigeria has not seen anything. Next year is going to be tough. We may witness a revolution similar to what happened in Egypt. The poor will face the rich. There will be no war, but what is going to happen will be more than war. There will be hunger and anger and this will lead to problem,” he added.

He said further: “What will happen in the country will be very pathetic. Nigerians should prepare for sacrifice in order that they do not become the sacrificial lamb. It is a year that the untouchables will be consumed. The problem of Boko Haram and Terrorism will be on the increase. It is a year that the military will strike although there will be no coup. There will be anarchy and young officers will take over reign of power and put things right.”

However, Olabayo said “the year 2012 will be a year of divine flourishing for the righteous. But for the wicked, it is a year people will take their blood.”

“Those that enslave us, God will deal with them. Although cases of corruption will be on the rise in the country and the poor will continue to suffer in the new year, their prayer will be heard and a messiah will emerge,” Olabayo stressed.

He urged all Nigerians to be closer to God, saying the year 2012 is not an ordinary year that should be taken for granted.

But the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye, on Friday brought a good tiding to the people of Oyo State when he came on a visit on the occasion of the 2011 December’s Let’s-Go-A-Fishing yearly programme tagged: “The Coming of Joy” at RCCG, Covenant Sanctuary, Oluyole Estate, Ibadan, the state capital.

In what looks like a prophecy for a state that is grappling with insecurity, filth, hooliganism, unemployment, incessant traffic gridlock and poverty, among other debilitating debacles, Pastor Adeboye declared that henceforth news coming from the pacesetter state will be nothing but glad tidings that will put smiles on the faces of the people of the state and the governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi.

The Let’s-Go-a-fishing programme, which entails going out to harvest souls for Jesus Christ, is a divinely inspired way the RCCG family worldwide celebrates both Easter and Christmas festivities beyond the razzmatazz that accompany the periods.

Good Tidings

“I bring this news to you today, that your joy has come at last, because the One, Who is visiting you today, Whose servant I am, is the One Who brings joy to people and whenever He wishes to bring joy to somebody, He usually comes suddenly,” Adeboye declared, taking his Bible reference from I Kings17:8-16.

Adeboye, who mounted the pulpit to give his message amid expectant and excited mammoth crowd at exactly 10:49 a.m, said that the fact that he was starting this December’s Let’s-Go-a-Fishing programme with the first visit to Ibadan was a sign that people of the state were special to God.

Amid his sermon that lasted for barely 10 minutes, the man of God, who clocks 70 next March, simply declared thus: “The Almighty God will bless Oyo State. He will bless our governor. He will bless his government. He will bless his household. From now on, anytime we hear from Oyo State, it will be good news.”

Earlier before his arrival, the General Overseer of Gethsemane Prayer Ministries International, Reverend Moses Aransiola and the Presiding Bishop of Victory International Church, Bishop Taiwo Adelakun, had led the congregation through the word and prayer, declaring that “The Coming of Joy,” which is the theme of the programme, is prophetic.

Dignitaries that graced the occasion included wife of the Oyo State governor, Mrs Florence Ajimobi; wife of the deputy governor of Oyo State, Mrs Adeyemo; wife of the Oyo State Chief of Staff, Mrs Modupeolu Akande; wife of the Secretary to the state government, Alhaja Olajide, and Special Adviser to Oyo State governor, Mrs Adesola Ajebo, among others.

The Founder and Spiritual Head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Ayodele, who also predicted hard times, assured that those who decide to wait upon the Lord, their strength will be renewed to overcome the difficulties of the new year.

Boko Haram and New Offensive

The seer, who disclosed these to Saturday Tribune in Lagos said that God has revealed to him that the Boko Haram will evolve new strategy to penetrate the security network around the president in order to embarrass him.

The primate said there will also be religious uprising in bigger dimension in some parts of the Northern states that will threaten the unity of this country.

The cleric continued: “The Boko Haram sect will give Jonathan more headache. It will get more funding and backing within and outside the country. The Boko Haram will try to embarrass Jonathan more in Abuja by attacking certain places, causing heavy casualities. For this reason, Jonathan needs to be watchful and the National Security Adviser (NSA) should sit tight as well.

“The President should make sure that the presidential jets are certified fit before travelling in them especially in March, June and October 2012.

Jonathan

“The Boko Haram sect will not last long. Through prayers, God will expose their hideouts, unveiled their financiers and informants within and outside the government.

“ The president needs prayer to forestall death of someone close to him and occurrence of strange things in the villa like death.

“Political leaders in the South East will want Jonathan to endorse their kinsman for 2015 presidency, but Jonathan will disagree. This will cause enmity between him and the Igbo leaders. Vice President Namadi Sambo will cross path with Jonathan over his ambition to succeed Jonathan in 2015. I can tell you that Sambo should forget it because he cannot get it.

“Some of those working for Jonathan will go all the ways to sabotage his efforts at providing good governance so that people can think that the president is not competent. The president needs to be watchful of these sycophants. The president should not attempt to recontest in 2015 as doing so will cause disintegration of this country.”

Ondo

In the area of politics, the Primate said, ”Ondo State governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko should not leave his party (Labour Party) for another party. If he should decamp, he will lose the election. His opponents will give him a good fight, but he will triumph.

Edo

“In Edo State, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will attempt to unseat Governor Adams Oshiohmole, but it will not be possible. Oshiohmole needs to sit tight. In Bayelsa State, If Governor Timpre Sylva prays very well and work harder, he will overcome his present problem and return to the Government House.

Ogun

“Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State will be misled by the elders he trusted making him to have problem with the people. He needs to be careful.

Ekiti

“Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State will be disappointed by the people he trusted. They will sabotage his efforts at providing good governance to the people. If he will listen and watch carefully, he will not fall into their traps.

Oyo

“Some actions of Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State will set him against party leaders in his state. He should be careful, and should devote more of his time to providing good governance to the people because that will help him triumph over some booby traps.

Sokoto

“There will be problems with the Sokoto governorship election but the governor will triumph eventually.”

PDP

“Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) needs to put its house in order if it wants to retain the presidency in 2015. Some legislators and governors are not likely to complete their terms. The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and Senate President, David Mark should beware of plans by some political associates to bring them down through scandals.

EFCC

“Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) will run into problems and their plans will be frustrated. Its chairman needs prayers to survive. There would be shake up of the service and security chiefs, new ones will take over. Let’s pray against loss of a Navy warship, inferno in any of the dockyards and dealth of prominent Air Force officer.

A Death Caution

“A former president will fall sick, lets pray that he doesn’t die. A former governor in the South West needs prayer not to pass on in 2012.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Edwin Clark should be cautious of their leadership style if they want to remain relevant in 2015.

“Cultism in tertiary institutions will take a worrisome dimension in the new year and will chatter peace in many of the institutions. A front line business mogul resident in Lagos will pass on. Some local government chairmen in Lagos State will face a lot of crises which will work against the ruling party in the state in the 2015.

The Abia State governor should pray to God to overcome evils hovering round him. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) should pray so that it doesn’t lose any of his members. Steven Keshi will take certain steps that will cause ripples in the NFF. He needs to be watchful. Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Chief Ernest Shonekan, Alhaji Rasaq Okoya, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero and JP Clark should pray for good health and protection in the year.

Economy

“Removal of fuel subsidy will set Jonathan’s administration against the people. If he should remove it, he will still reverse it because it will be counter-productive due to wrong method used. The Labour will disappoint Nigerians.

“I have not seen anything fantastic about the economy in 2012. The budget will not bring any change. Hard time awaits Nigerians as prices of food stuff and building materials will skyrocket, leading to rise in criminal activities like armed robbery, kidnapping for money and ritual purposes. There will be many dead bodies and mad people along the streets due to hunger. Lets pray against natural disaster and famine in 2012.

Petrol will be discovered in some states, including South West and the North Central. The brand of Nigeria oil will change which will have consequence on Nigeria’s economy. The CBN Governor will face crisis.

“The African Petroleum (AP) will have some problems and will attempt to change name. It will win a big contract which will land it in trouble and court case. Chevron oil will operate at loss in March and April Capital Oil should pray against shortage and lost and as well, the Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporatio(NNPC) will face some crises which will distabilise the organisation.

Communication

MTN: will have trouble in their major stations causing them to shut down and this will cause general problems. The management of Airtel will be thrown into confusion. Etisalat will face court cases and they should pray so that they don’t lose in any of their promotion.

Foreign

The President of Republic of Congo, Joseph Kabila, also needs to pray for good heatlh for I foresee his health failing him and also losing someone very important to him. Former South African President, Nelson Mandela, should pray for good health and protection in the new year.”

Speaking with Saturday Tribune, Alhaji Abdul-rasheed, a Kaduna-based astrologer, who stated that Nigeria could avert myriads of problem in 2012, called on President Jonathan to pray harder for good health and that of his wife.

He also urged him to be cautioned and extra careful in handling international matters as well as pray to avert losing one of his family members.

Alhaji Abdul-rasheed predicted that there will be a great misunderstanding between the Nigerian Customs and some members of community.

Ex-President

According to him, prayers should be said in order to avoid the death of a top officer of the Nigerian Armed Forces as well as sickness of an ex-president which could eventually lead to his death.

He also called for prayers to avoid death of a great former Eagles’ player, two old famous musicians, two actors and one actress. He, however, predicted that two former ministers may fall sick and die as a result.

Alhaji Abdul –rashed equally predicted on what is going to happen state by state.

Ondo

“The governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, should pray to succeed and his efforts not be in vein. He should pray against students and women protests as well as armed robberies threat. There will be less profit in cocoa farming in Idanre this year.

“The state should also pray against misunderstanding between the traditional rulers while girls should be careful of abortion in Idanre. The governor should pray against sickness that would affect his leg.

NOLLYWOOD actor, Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, who was detained recently by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) when he was suspected to be concealing banned narcotic substance in his stomach, has vowed to sue the anti-drug agency for violation of his rights to dignity.

The popular actor, who narrated how he was allegedly leg-chained by NDLEA officials, also vowed to challenge the various medical tests conducted on him during the period for being done without his consent.

Addressing journalists in Lagos yesterday on his ordeals in the hands of NDLEA officials before his release on the orders of Justice Yetunde Idowu of the Lagos High Court on November 4, Baba Suwe said he was treated as a common criminal while in detention.

The actor said he was not only leg-chained, but forced to rummage his excrete with a glove by the doctors in search of any banned narcotic substances.

“I believed that I was set up because immediately I approached the counter, a lady directed me to proceed to the NDLEA office. There was no check, before I was so directed. Afterwards, I was leg-chained in their office as a common criminal. My system was flushed several times, and at a time, I was forced to rummage my faeces in search of banned substances,” he added.

Baba Suwe, who denied having been caught with drugs in his life, said he was taken to various hospitals where drugs were administered on him both in the anus and mouth, leading to his excreting for over 25 times without any banned drugs found in them.

Two gunmen suspected to be armed robbers yesterday killed Super Eagles Assistant Coach, Daniel Amokachi’s younger brother, Tehimbi Emmanuel Ayuwa at his phone call center in front of Amokachi father’s residence at Zuba Road, close to Police College in Kaduna.

The 23-year-old man was shot by two men who stormed his kiosk on a motorbike and demanded he surrendered the proceeds of his sales from his GSM recharge cards and call transactions business for the day.
Emmanuel was shot in his right thigh in front of the house’s main gate while he was trying to flee from the hoodlums with his money.

When Daily Sun visited Amokachi’s aged father, Mr. Ikwulechin Amokachi, he said he heard sounds suspected to be gunshots and then later heard the voice of his wife shouting and crying for help outside the gate of the main house.

“My grand daughter helped me out of the house where I met him in the pool of his own blood wailing in pains. I immediately called the police who arrived and assisted him into one of my neighbor’s car to Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital where he eventually died.

“Before now, I had warned him to be vigilant, but now, they have killed him. He is a very gentle and resourceful person who just recently graduated from two years carpentry apprenticeship.“He had always told me that he would want to be a man of his own and would want to struggle to make it despite his brother’s background and look at how he was murdered in cold blood because of small money.

“I do not know what this country is turning into, if an innocent struggling young man who sells ordinary recharge card would be waylaid and killed for meager amount of money,” the older Amokachi lamented.

Commenting on the incident, a retired Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) Lawal Bawa whose house is a stone throw from Amokachi’s house where the incident occurred, lamented that the state of insecurity and the killing of the victim were not unexpected. “It’s all as a result of injustice in the country. These killings are no longer new, it has been happening almost on a daily basis in Nigeria now. However, this is a bit unusual for someone to be shot dead over proceeds from recharge card sales.

“I am pleading with the government to do something more pragmatic, let them try as much as possible to engage these youths by means of creating employment opportunities, so that all these unemployed youths get something doing.

“In addition, I assure you that, the very moment most of these youths are gainfully engaged, the increasing wave of insecurity, be it MEND, Boko Haram or Yan kalare in Gombe or armed robbery would be reduced to the bearest minimum,” Bawa opined.

When contacted on phone, the Police Public Relation Office (PPRO) of the Kaduna State Police Command, DSP Aminu Lawal, said the police would do everything possible to apprehend the hoodlums, adding that investigations were on to get to the root of the incident.

Ace comedian, Babatunde Omidina, (aka Baba Suwe), has described himself as a victim of a conspiracy by faceless individuals who were envious of his exploits in his chosen profession.

Baba Suwe gave the verdict on Sunday during a press conference addressed by his lawyers led by Mr Bamidele Aturu. Reflecting on the event at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja shortly before his arrest on October 12, 2011 by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), the renowned comedian said that he was only told to enter an office to meet with the NDLEA men.

“As soon as I arrived at the airport, a woman sitting at the counter just asked me to go inside one room where the NDLEA officials were. As soon as I entered the room, they arrested me. Nobody told me my offence even when I demanded”, he said.

Explaining the dehumanizing treatment Baba Suwe was subjected to, Aturu who told the gathering that the comedian was now a free man as the anti-narcotic agency had returned all the items seized from him including wristwatch, jewelries and three mobile phones, said they were going back to the court to seek redress.
