pls advice needed

This is a true life story it actually happens to me so i need your advice.


i met a girl in my church, she was actually my younger sister friend, we keep talking and we became best of friends.after awhile i fell in love with her.
After months of talking i open up to her, told her my feelings and how i want to spend the rest of my life with her, during how discussion the following happens on 7/7/2015

Me: are u engaged?
Her: no
Me: are u into any serious relationship?
Her: no
Me: are u into any relationship at all?
Her: no

Then i went on to tell her i love her and want her to be my wife and she responded by saying go and meet my pastor, so on sunday 12/7/2015 i went to the pastor that there is a lady am watching although i haven't seen her in my dream but am convinced she is the one he asked who and i told him, so he said i shud go and be praying dt i shud tell her to be praying also dt he too will pray along with us dt he will tell me if its d will of God.

So i called her to tell her dt have told the pastor and she said ok,but on Friday 17/7/2015 i met with her and i told what the pastor says, but to my surprise she said she just says YES to a brother yesterday Thursday that is 16/7/2015.

I shocked and embarrassed, i asked if she prayed abt the brother but she said no i guess its because the brother is a gifted chorister in another parish and is asked her why she told me she is not engaged she said she taught i was joking

Now am confused, should i go and tell her pastor not to pray about it again dt the girl in question is engaged or what. pls advice

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) says it has “effectively neutralised the illegal broadcasts from the seditious pirate radio station”, Radio Biafra.
In a statement issued on Friday by Emeka Mba, the NBC DG, the commission said it had also arrested suspected masterminds who are currently being interrogated in Abuja.
The station has been advocating secession of the south-east from Nigeria.
Mba said: “Working with security operatives, the Commission has also tracked down, neutralised and confiscated transmitter equipment from several locations in the region. Some suspects involved in the illicit broadcasts have also been arrested and taken to Abuja for questioning and prosecution.
“The Commission has also worked with other agencies to remove the transmissions of the illegal station from the satellite, and this has put paid to the divisive and disruptive transmissions. We are working on the Internet transmissions.
“The National Broadcasting Commission wishes to appreciate the concerns expressed by Nigerians over the seditious activities of the illegal ‘Biafra Radio’ transmitting hate messages that are unfortunately designed to create disunity among Nigerians and mislead young people in a deliberate act of subversion. Nigerians do not need another round of heartache and bloodshed.
“The Commission reiterates its calls to the public to disregard the hate messages coming from the misguided station, and urges Nigerians to unite in joining hands with the government to build a stronger and more prosperous nation.”
Recent claims by NBC that it had jammed the signals of the station proved to be untrue but this latest effort seemed to have been successful.
TheCable reported on Friday morning that suspects had been arrested and the broadcasts had been effectively blocked. But the promoters of the station have promised to open 50 more despite the crackdown.

not true

By SIMON EBEGBULEM


BENIN CITY – FORMER President, Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo Friday said the immediate
past President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan should
be blamed for his actions and in-actions
while in office and not those who helped him
into office.

He asserted that the idea of people like him
in 2010 was to ensure that a person from the
minority zone is given the opportunity to rule
the nation which led to the support he gave
to Jonathan, adding however that the former
President’s actions in office and his
subsequent defeat at the polls will hunt the
people of the South South for a long time.

The former President also urged President
Muhammadu Buhari to use education to
sustain the progress made so far in the war
against Boko Haram, just as he attributed the
scourge in the North East to poverty and lack
of education among the youths which he
attributed to the alleged refusal of governors
in the North East to pay their counterpart
funds when his administration established the
Universal Basic Education (UBE), which
according to him would have given children
in their area to opportunity to enjoy free and
compulsory education.

Chief Obasanjo stated this while delivering a
lecture entitled “Effective Education, a
Panacea for Societal Development and
Transformation”, at the 11th convocation
ceremony of the Benson Idahosa University
(BIU), Benin City.

The former President who was told to defend
himself on the allegation that he was part of
the alleged failure of President Jonathan in
office, since he backed him for the presidency
in 2011, asserted that “I have also said that
you can help anybody to get a job but you
cannot help him to do it. Let us get it clear,
there is nobody who has got into any
position who has not been helped by one
person or more than one person.

“To become Nigeria’s head of state, it was
first of all my performance in the war front,
now if General Gowon had not sent me to the
war front, you won’t know whether I can
perform or cannot perform. Now he sent me
to the war front, I thank him for it and
because I performed we shared the credit, if I
had failed, Gowon would not have shared the
credit, he would not have shared the
condemnation with me, I will be alone.

“Yes as I have said, I believe that opportunity
that afforded itself in 2010 for somebody
from the minority to become the president of
Nigeria, he should never lose the opportunity
but what he did with it is entirely to him and
don’t forget what he did or did not do with
it, will reflect for a long time on that part of
the country. And don’t take that lightly, what
he did or did not do with it, will reflect for a
long time on that part of the country. But
again those blaming me, was I the only
person that supported him?

“I was not the only 18 million voters who
voted for him. You that asked the question
who did you vote for, is it not Jonathan? He
queried (General laughter in the hall).
While expressing confidence that President
Buhari will crush the Boko Haram menace,
Chief Obasanjo hinted that it was the major
reason the President was traveling to the
United States next week, to seek the
assistance of President Barack Obama to
tackle the menace head on.

While attributing the problem to poverty,
unemployment and lack of education,
Obasanjo stressed the need to provide
compulsory education in the North East and
re-orientate the people of the area on the
need tackle the Boko Haram insurgency whole
heartedly.

His words: “Education is a moral enterprise
which we need to re-engage, the issue of
Boko Haram President Buhari should also
tackle it from the angle of morale education,
if we are able to tackle boko haram with
education in our schools, both in the social
media that they use, we will dilute their
messages and positively win their hearts and
others who have been swayed by the jihadists
messages.

“To succeed with counter messages, we need
to be more appealing, and truthful and as
intense as those of boko haram if not more.
The capacity of all teachers would be
strengthened to deliver such messages;
morning and afternoon assemblies of our
primary and secondary schools should have a
strong dose of such messages, our airwaves
and social media should also be saturated
with such positive messages even if we defeat
boko haram on the battle front, we need
education to sustain the victory.
“Let me give you an insight, in 2010 there
was a survey of education in Nigeria and
among the six geo political zones; in the
south west, it was 79 per cent that are
educated, in the south east, it is about 78 per
cent in the North East, where boko haram
dominates, it is 19 per cent and that is one of
the reasons people believe that boko haram
was a menace waiting to happen and it
doesn’t matter what we do, we have to
reverse that trend maybe the situation has
even gone worse in the last five years
because people have moved out of school
some schools have been destroyed and we
cannot fold our arms and say it is up to the
North East.

“it is up to all of us in Nigeria, we have to do
what should be done to bring parity in the
area of education across the length and
breadth of the country. The boko Haram
insurgency is serious problem which we pray
will be a thing of the past soon. There are
several factors into the insurgency, I am sure
that President Buhari will do the needful to
exterminate this scourge.

“That is one of the reasons President Buhari
is traveling to the US next week to secure the
support of the American Government to fight
terrorism in Nigeria. As we tackle it from the
military front and other angles, we should
also tackle it through the power of education
which is what you have asked me to talk
about today” he stated

too harsh

madness

Charles Okah, whose brother, Henry
Okar, led the leader of the Movement for
the Emancipation of the Niger Delta,
MEND, until he was jailed by South
African authorities, speaks to PREMIUM
TIMES about the aftermath of the October
1, 2010 Independence Day bombing, his
business deals with the United States and
the United Kingdom and more.


How were you arrested and where were
you taken to from the time of your
arrest to the time you were sent to Kuje
Prison?

I was arrested at my residence in Apapa
GRA, Lagos on Saturday, October 1, 2010
at about 1pm. There was no arrest
warrant produced. It was a crude kidnap-
type operation. The team leader told me
that I was being arrested on suspicion of
being the elusive spokesman of the
Movement for the Emancipation of the
Niger Delta, MEND, who goes by the
pseudonym Jomo Gbomo. My eldest son
who was back from school in the United
States at the time was also arrested. We
were bound, blindfolded, and taken to the
DSS Lagos office where we spent the
night. The next morning, we were flown
to their Abuja headquarters in a military
plane. Two days later on Tuesday, Oct 19,
2010, the DSS spokeswoman, Ms Marilyn
Ogar, was announcing on national
television that “their investigations had
revealed that Charles Tonbra Okah is
Jomo Gbomo”. But barely two weeks after
that announcement, while still in their
custody, the same Jomo Gbomo released a
statement, and has continued up till this
day. I was transferred to Kuje Prison
custody by an order of the court on
December 24, 2010, where I have
remained since then.

Before your arrest, what was your
relationship with GEJ?

I was not close to him. I met him on a
few occasions when he was deputy
governor under my cousin, Chief
Diepreye Alamiesiyegha. Again, when he
was governor, he spoke to my brother
through my phone in his office, because
Henry did not want to call him directly. I
also met him in Pretoria, South Africa as
Vice President, when the then President
Yar’Adua sent him, in the company of
Chief Timipre Sylva, and Senator David
Brigidi to establish communications with
Henry towards addressing the problems
inside the creeks. I was in South Africa
on business at the time.

We understand the Goodluck Jonathan
administration was constantly in
contact with you here in Kuje Prison?

That is true. There were several
surreptitious and nocturnal visits that
spanned the over four years I have been
held here in Kuje Prison. The visits were
made by Gordon Obuah, former Chief
Security Officer to Dr. Goodluck Jonathan,
in company with the Special Adviser on
Niger Delta Amnesty Programme,
Kingsley Kuku. Their mission was to
ensure that I cooperated with the
government in implicating Nasir El-Rufai
and others in the October 1, 2010
bombing. Mr. Obuah and Kuku said I
would be set free if I implicated the
perceived enemies of the former
president.

When and how did they visit you in the
prison?

The visits were done after the 6pm final
lock-up of inmates. Before any visit, the
Presidency and the DSS would inform the
Controller General of Prisons who in turn
would inform the Controller FCT
Command, the Officer-in-Charge, Kuje
prison and the Chief Warder to ensure
they wait and receive the high profile
visitors. The prison officials are usually
told to wait outside the office of the
Officer in Charge when the meeting is on.
After these visits, some moneys were
given to the prison officials for my
welfare and that of two others arrested
over the 50th Independence Day
Anniversary bombing. The last meetings
came in late 2014, where I was shown a
draft of an endorsement for Goodluck
Jonathan by Mr. Kuku which he said had
been sent by email to MEND. He
promised that we would be released as
soon as GEJ is voted for a second term,
and wanted me to find ways to reach out
to MEND to release that draft as its
endorsement for Goodluck. The former
CSO on his part assured me he would
ensure the container which was ordered
by my company on behalf of the United
States Embassy and seized by the DSS at
the Tin Can Island Port on the allegation it
contained plastic explosives, would be
released to my wife. They also promised
to off-set school fees owed by my
children.

But MEND did not endorse Jonathan
after all?

MEND refused to support Jonathan and I
was told to forget any financial aid and to
brace myself for another four year stay in
prison when Goodluck wins, as if it was
my fault the group endorsed Buhari.

Did you say you had a contract from the
American Embassy?

Yes I did. The 40 foot container, which
was not tendered in court as exhibit even
though the reason given by the DSS for
its seizure was that its contents included
plastic explosives, was imported by
my company for the American Embassy
on Walter Carrington Crescent, Victoria
Island, Lagos. The contents were plastic
floating docks and installation accessories
which originated from the EZ Dock
Company in Monnet, Missouri, USA after
we received a Local Purchase Order from
the embassy which was approved in
Washington.

Who is currently in custody of the
container?

I have no idea. Since they claimed I
imported plastic explosives for the
American Embassy, I would expect the
container to be at the Tin Can Island Port
in Lagos under heavy security or in the
premises of the DSS in Abuja, to be
presented at short notice to the court. My
concern is the damage that has been done
to the improperly stored contents of the
legitimate import.

Did the American Government reach out
to former President Goodluck Jonathan
to sort out the issue of the container?

I have no idea what transpired between
the Goodluck Jonathan government and
the American Government. I was
informed by my wife when she visited me
at the DSS headquarters where I was
being held that in an attempt to distance
themselves, the American Embassy sent
her a letter revoking the contract for the
floating docks which had already been
brought into the country. That was the
least of my worry. My main concern was
that the Embassy would refuse my son re-
entry into the United States where he was
concluding his studies at the University of
Kansas. But as God would have it, the
Embassy did not give him any trouble.
The problem came from the DSS
operatives attached to the Murtala
Mohammed International Airport who
refused him to leave on two occasions
until Festus Keyamo intervened.

Did the Jonathan Government pay fees
for your kids?

We got assistance from time to time from
a few friends in the government, but this
was not in any official capacity.

Apart from El-Rufai, who were the
other person’s the administration
wanted you to implicate in the Oct 1,
2010 bombing?

I wouldn’t know if the DSS interrogators
were acting on instructions from GEJ but
I know that they had a list of names but
only presented the names of Gen. Ibrahim
Babangida, Chief Raymond Dokpesi,
Mallam Nasir El Rufai, Chief Timipre
Sylva, and Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan.
Somehow they were aware that I had
visited Gen. Babangida early 2010, at his
residence in Abuja, and wanted to use
that visit as the platform to work out a
false statement which would suggest that
the general’s house was the rendezvous
for an assassination plot to eliminate
former President Jonathan on Oct 1, 2010.

Were some of the people you were
asked to implicate aware of the plot?

I don’t know since I have not had contact
with the outside world. The only person
who got to know at that time was Mallam
Nasir El Rufai. I had managed to smuggle
a letter from the prison to warn him and
others. He later published that letter in
his book, “The Accidental Public Servant.”
I couldn’t implicate innocent people in a
crime I was implicated simply because my
accusers promised me freedom.
Could it be that the bombing was
organised to nail you and others?
I would not know but from what I read in
the papers, the bombing was claimed by
the Movement for the Emancipation of
the Niger Delta (MEND) who never make
false claims of responsibility. I read that
the bombing was a symbolic attack meant
to counter the impression that the group
no longer existed as was being
propagated by Goodluck Jonathan and
some ex-militants. The DSS and Jonathan
strategists may have wanted to take
advantage of that MEND attack minus the
claim. After the bomb blast occurred,
Elder Godsday Orubebe, and Mr. Tony
Uranta contacted my brother (Henry
Okah) in South Africa to use his influence
to ask MEND to retract their statement
which claimed responsibility so that,
according to Uranta in a text message to
Henry on October 1, 2010, the bombing
could be blamed on ‘Northern elements’.
The request was refused by Henry.

But the former President had during a
PDP rally in Lagos accused your
brother, Henry, of being hired by some
persons to assassinate him. Were you
also accused?

Yes they did after I refused to ‘cooperate’
with them. They said that the money I
withdrew for the purchase of dollars for
my son’s school fees came from the
‘sponsors’ of the bomb blast and insisted
that the money was used to buy cars used
in the bombing. It was after filing charges
that they eventually traced the source of
the money to a payment made into my
Zenith Bank account by the British High
Commission in Abuja through its defence
attache. This payment which was made
around September 2010; was for a
contract awarded my company to install a
floating dock for the Nigerian Navy at its
Lagos Satellite Town Base. I wonder why
they have not yet arrested the British
High Commissioner and his US
counterpart for alleged involvement the
phantom
