Question.

It was previously stated that Dr Ali Isa Pantami is on the US terror watchlist. So why would anybody be petitioning that he should be put on the US terror watchlist when he is already on the US terror watchlist??

Nigerians Petition US Government, Want Isa Pantami On Terrorist Watchlist

by Saharareporters, New York
Apr 16, 2021

Some Nigerians under a group, Concerned Nigerians, have written to the United States Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, asking that the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, be placed on the terrorists’ watchlist due to his extremist religious views.

The group stated on Friday that the US Secretary of State should order an investigation into the allegations and place him on the terrorist watchlist permanently.

The convener of the group, Deji Adeyanju, who signed the petition, stated that those in power who “express extremist views remain a threat to world peace as they support mass murder of both Christians and Muslims globally.”

The petition, obtained by SaharaReporters, and dated April 11, and written through the Ambassador, US Embassy in Nigeria, is titled, “Terrorist Watchlist – Isa Pantami.”

It partly reads, “We write to intimate you of remarks attributed to Sheikh Isa Pantami, Nigeria’s Communications Minister in several media blogs in the country wherein he was quoted as saying he was always happy whenever unbelievers are killed by terrorist groups. “It is also further alleged that he had in the past openly supported and endorsed global terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and the Talibans.

“Pantami is said to have praised Osama Bin Laden describing him as a hero and a better Muslim than himself. He has not renounced these views in the face of new revelations by the media. His views are extremist views and a threat to a multi religious nation like Nigeria.

“He is a senior member of President Buhari’s regime and we are of the view that a supporter of Mullah Omar and Osama Bin Laden should not hold a sensitive position and be in charge of the database of Nigerians. We are confident that Mr. Pantami will not resign or be sacked despite the public outcry because President Buhari is drawn to men like him.

“We implore you to investigate these allegations and if true, place him on your terrorist watchlist permanently. Those who express extremist views remain a threat to world peace as they support mass murder of both Christians and Muslims globally. This remains unacceptable.

“Our reply to those who say these men may have had a change of heart is that terrorists don’t repent, they are only looking for an opportunity to get close to power so they can strike harder.”

Politics › Re: Bianca Ojukwu Marks Her 20th Traditional Marriage Anniversary (Photos) by naptu2: 10:50am On Apr 16, 2021

Ishilove:
I actually thought they were married earlier than that. This is 2001 we are talking about here

A journalist named Moji Danisa broke the story of the relationship between Ojukwu and Bianca. That's where she got the nickname "Queen of Gossip". They initially denied the rumours. In fact, many years later Ojukwu was invited to chair an occasion by the magazine that she worked for, but he refused to do so unless she apologised to him.

It became a huge scandal. Bianca was the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria at the time and she had to step down from the role. Regina Askia, who was the second runner up, took over from her.

The gossip magazines, Prime People and Vintage People made a lot of money from stories about the issue. They said that Chief Onoh was angry and that he couldn't imagine his daughter marrying his friend. One of the stories said that Chief Onoh bought a new car for Bianca (I think it was a Peugeot) and she rejected it and instead accepted a better car (I think it was a Mercedes) that Ojukwu gave her.

Chief Onoh was not at the wedding in Abuja, but a lot of celebrities attended.

He later came round and accepted the marriage and that's when they did the traditional marriage.

That's what I'm telling you. They initially got married in 1994 in Abuja, but her father was not in support of it, so they didn't do the traditional marriage until he accepted.

Politics › Re: Ezekwesili Petitions IGP, Asks Him To Prosecute Omojuwa For ‘Identity Fraud’ by naptu2: 10:37am On Apr 16, 2021

As I said.

naptu2:
Some people claim that Oby Ezekwesili will not sue Omojuwa because he has something on her. They might not be totally correct. You see the issues in this saga are more of criminal offences than civil disputes. Rather than sue him, she can send a petition to the EFCC, the police, etc that Omojuwa forged her signature and documents. All those personal issues will be irrelevant in such a case.
