Madam Eunice Jonathan the mother of incumbent President Goodluck has moved into the family home in Otuoke, Bayelsa state as part of the ongoing plan to move out of the
presidential villa ahead of May 29.
President Jonathan.

It is reported that President Jonathan will be moving into an estate in his home town of Otuoke when he leaves office. His estate covers a large expanse of land contrasting sharply with its rustic surroundings in Otuoke, the small island community in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.

Over the past few weeks, work has been stepped up on the estate which overlooks a creek that links Otuoke to other coastal communities of Bayelsa.

Last week, his mother relocated to the newly refurbished estate as she did not return to Abuja with the president.

A source from the presidency said “It is not an abnormal thing for the president’s mother to have relocated to the village after the president lost his re-election bid. Do you expect her to remain at the State House till May 29 when the president will hand over?”

They are both expected to return to Otuoke together on May 29, by which time all renovation work on the seven acre estate is expected to have been completed.

However the estate is dominated by a central mansion while new structures including guest chalets, staff quarters and storage facilities have been erected around the main building which will be befitting for a former president.

Ever since President Jonathan lost the presidential election very little has been seen of his wife Dame Patience Jonathan until May 10 when she was spotted at the thanksgiving and farewell service
organised in his honour at the Cathedral Church of the Advent in Abuja.

Nigerian Journalist/Publisher, polemicist, businessman, philanthropist, actor and motivational speaker, Dele Momodu has been spotted having an unusual breakfast.

We call it an unusual breakfast because he was spotted having with his long time friend, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi. Tokunbo Afikuyomi was elected Senator for the Lagos Central constituency of Lagos State, Nigeria at the start of the Nigerian Fourth Republic, running on the Alliance for Democracy platform. He took office on 29 May 1999.

The two ‘big’ men decided to have a jolly breakfast of smoked salmon with other foods together recently and here are photos from the unusual breakfast below:

Not long ago, the popular publisher and media guru wrote an article published on Thisday newspaper, with the title: Time To Say Our Lord’s Prayer. An article which talks about how President Jonathan was allowing those around him drive him down the
wrong path.

Lol...I'm not surprised,, ur moniker says it all

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party seems to have extended to its Lagos State chapter as it’s chairman, Captain Tunji Shelle, was on Monday sacked by 34 members of the State Working Committee.

He was immediately replaced by Kamaldeen Olorunoje.

The committee accused Shelle of mismanaging election campaign funds and manipulating the party’s primaries last year which ultimately led to the defeat of the PDP at the polls.

Untold story about how professional Nigerian footballer who died about three years ago, Rasheed Yekini bade farewell to mother earth has surfaced.
Rasheed Yekini

The lawyer of the legendary African footballer, Jubril Olanrewaju Mohamed, in a new interview with Premium Times has revealed that the family of the deceased soccer star are fighting over the
properties of the dead footballer.

This is despite the fact that the late striker had willed all his estates to his two daughters (Yemisi and Mariam) who are ages 20 and 15 respectively.

Rasheed Yekini’s Lawyer, Jubril Olanrewaju Mohamed

The lawyer recounted how it has been a hassle keeping Yekini’s estate for the rightful owners — his two daughters. He also made it known that the tragic death of the football star involves foul play and that justice has by no means been served.

Below are excerpts from the interview:

Can you tell us a little about you?

Jubril Olanrewaju Mohamed is my name; I was the lawyer to Late Rasheed Yekini and counsel to his estate.

How has the task of keeping Yekini’s estate being for you?

It has been a challenging time in the sense that I had to ensure that the estate he left behind is not taken away from the beneficiaries he left behind, that is his two children. They are grown up children and to ensure that they are psychologically stable has been challenging.

There are talks that Yekini had more than two children. Has there been any claim from anywhere else?

A Togolese lady came with a three-year old girl eight days after his death claiming that Yekini was the father of the child. The mother (Yekini’s mum) accepted and other members of the family. Yekini actually confessed to the relationship and one and
half years after the relationship was over she came back saying she was pregnant. It even caused misunderstanding between him and his mum because he refused to accept the child but his
mother accepted saying the more the merrier. We asked her to do a DNA after she came back but up till now we haven’t ascertain the authenticity of the child’s paternity.

So back to Yekini’s estate, we hear all is not well as regards that

The family called a number of times asking that the properties be sold and shared among themselves. I however told them their suggestion was unlawful, even Islamically because he had children and a mother. He (Yekini) gave his mother some property and it would be wrong of me to take it away from
her. Also the rest of his property, he gave no instructions on how to do deal with it. His mansion in Ibadan is still being maintained and we have looked for an estate manager to help us look for
anyone who is interested in the property to lease it because the money you would get from there would be substantial. At the moment the respective mothers are the ones taking care of their children with a little input from me. Yekini has the BQ, the five flats of three bedroom at Ijagbo, then the mansion.

Right now however, they (the children) get nothing from the estate as we are still waiting on the lease of the mansion since the mother takes all the proceeds from the other properties. The family members feel they are entitled to whatever comes from the leasing but I have said no, that these two children are basically and primary beneficiary of that estate. They can meet their mother for part of what she is getting from Ijagbo’s property which is massive but as for this one, no way.

My jurisdiction is limited to this one mansion because I do not want to stop what Yekini did not stop in his life time. The property would naturally revert back to Yekini’s estate after her demise and according to our traditions, no elderly person wants
to be left behind while their child or grandchild dies, so the rent that accrues after her demise becomes that of Yekini’s children.

You have fingered foul play in the death of Yekini, do you still maintain such stance?

I maintain that stance because of the circumstances surrounding his death. He did not die naturally and I asked some questions on the circumstances leading to his death and they have not been able to provide me with answers. According to the report of his late younger sister who died shortly after he died and
was the mastermind of his abduction, she said that morning of May 4, she said they gave him tea because he was tied down because they felt he would escape if they did not tie him down. She said Yekini begged to be released to see me and that he
was being smoldered where he was. It was after he took a cup of tea which he requested for, he became restless and started gasping for breath. That was when they took him to a nearby hospital Al-Amin Hospital in Apete, in Ibadan.

According to the doctor who attended to him, Yekini was virtually dead when he was brought in because the pulse was actually very feeble before he could do anything the man was gone. So I wanted to see those guys who took him away and ask them what
his treatment plan was because you can’t die in such
circumstances and it would not raise suspicion. By the laws in Lagos state, there would have been an inquest into his death; the coroner should have been brought in to verify the cause of his death. That was what I was asking for. The family members
might have had genuine reasons for doing what they did and I was not out to persecute them. I just wanted to know the cause of Yekini’s death. Just like what happened to Michael Jackson, there was an inquest. If it were a nobody now, we could just
overlook such things but a whole Rasheed Yekini was taken to the native doctor forcefully and he died there and we did not know the cause of his death.

Do you think you could have done more to avert Yekini’s death?

Yes, I wish I did more to keep him safe. I thought the police order was good enough but may be stationing a policeman would have been better. I was disappointed that the police failed to make any arrest and ended up calling it a family affair and
saying no one had come to declare their grievances.
I asked them if there was a corpse lying in the street would they leave it there because no one came to report? They however were waiting for me to write a petition and I did not do that because I expected the police to bring up the coroner law and find out the cause of death of a man who was kidnapped from his house and later found dead despite an order restraining some people.

Finally how are Yekini’s children faring?

Yemisi is close to 20 and the other is 15. The 20- year-old is studying at the University of Leicester where she is studying performing arts. The second one is in Osogbo. She will be writing her final year exams soon.

Rasheed Yekini was born October 23, 1963 in Kaduna. He died May 4, 2012 in Ibadan.
