Politics › Taraba Killing: Police Pay Tribute To Slain Officers, Reveal Identities(photo) by nickxtra(op): 8:00pm On Aug 08, 2019

The Nigeria Police has paid tribute to three of its personnel killed by soldiers along Ibi-Jalingo Road in Taraba State.

It also released the identities and photographs of the affected officers, a day after the Force announced their death as a result of the unfortunate incident.

The slain officers were listed as Sergeant Usman Danzumi, Sergeant Dahiru Musa and Inspector Mark Ediale.

The Force Public Relations Department paid respect to the late officers in a tweet on Thursday entitled “Will Be Forever Remembered”.

The Nigeria Police has paid tribute to three of its personnel killed by soldiers along Ibi-Jalingo Road in Taraba State.

It also released the identities and photographs of the affected officers, a day after the Force announced their death as a result of the unfortunate incident.

The slain officers were listed as Sergeant Usman Danzumi, Sergeant Dahiru Musa and Inspector Mark Ediale.

The Force Public Relations Department paid respect to the late officers in a tweet on Thursday entitled “Will Be Forever Remembered”.

According to the police, the slain officers contributed greatly to the progress made in fighting crime in the country.

They were said to be part of the teams that rescued the Magajin Garin, the District Head of Daura, as well as those who arrested 22 members of the Boko Haram sect who abducted the Chibok schoolgirls in Borno State in 2014.

The slain policemen also helped in the arrest of suspected kidnap kingpin, Evans, as well as the arrest of Umar Abudulmalik, the “overall commander” of Boko Haram in the North-Central and several insurgents, among other operations.

In a statement earlier, the Force spokesman, Mr Frank Mba, said the officers were in Taraba to arrest a suspect identified as Alhaji Hamisu Wadume, who was before the incident indicted in a series of high-profile kidnap incidents in the state.

He also alleged that the soldiers set the suspect free after attacking the policemen.

Reacting to the incident, the Nigerian Army authorities, however, said the soldiers felt the policemen were kidnappers.

In their recent tweet, the police released the identities of the men who died in the line of duty, with the message: “Where Is Espirt De Corps” translated to mean a feeling of mutual loyalty and inter-agency harmony shared among security operatives.

Education › University Employs Prof Sacked For Criticising Nigerians’ Maltreatment In Ghana by nickxtra(op): 11:04pm On Aug 07, 2019

The Alex Ekwueme Federal University, Ndufu-Alike, Ebonyi State, on Wednesday offered employment to Augustine Nwagbara, a Nigerian professor who was sacked by a Ghanaian university.

Mr Nwagbara was in June sent away from the University of Education, Winneba, where he was on sabbatical, after a video of him addressing an informal meeting of Nigerians in Ghana went viral.

In the video, the professor was seen lambasting the authorities for maltreating Nigerians in Ghana and urged his colleagues to employ the Nigerian media to take up the fight.

But Ghanaian authorities and the university described the video as inciting and a threat to peace.

He was also arrested and interrogated by the Ghanaian Police Service over the viral video but was later released.

The Vice-Chancellor of AE-FUNAI, Chinedum Nwajiuba, on Wednesday, organised a grand home-coming reception for the professor where he offered him the opportunity to complete his sabbatical at the university.

Mr Nwajiuba alongside other senior staff of the university, at the reception held at the Vice-Chancellor’s Conference Room, assured Mr Nwagbara of his support.

He said he would do everything possible to make his stay in AE-FUNAI comfortable and remarkable.

“We need to get back our pride, we are great people and you are an enviable example,” added Mr Nwajuba.

He said the young university needs serious-minded people like Mr Nwagbara and urged him to leave the University of Lagos and stay permanently in AE-FUNAI.

“You must believe in something, stand on what you believe”, Mr Nwajiuba said.

The VC, who was very excited, said the university community was proud of Mr Nwagbara and was glad to welcome him in its midst.
The DVC (Administration), Philip Omoke, told the gathering that it was the kind of reception to give to a hero and an achiever.

Responding to the accolades, an excited Mr Nwagbara said he was proud to be in AE-FUNAI and a Nigerian.
He took time to relay his ordeal in Ghana after making the video about the education system in Ghana and the place of Nigeria academia there and in the West Africa sub-region and the video went viral

He asked to be given opportunity while in the university to tell Nigerians what they can gain by promoting their education system and stated that this can best happen through public lectures.

He promised to show gratitude to the university by organising a public lecture this year that would be made a media event.

Politics › APC Set To Establish Institute For Progressive Studies by nickxtra(op): 10:53pm On Aug 07, 2019

The national chairman of Nigeria’s ruling party, APC, Adams Oshiomhole, has stated that his party is establishing an institute for progressive studies in Nigeria.

Mr Oshiomhole stated this on Wednesday when he led members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party to a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House, Abuja.

While briefing journalists at the Villa, he said the meeting was mainly to congratulate the president on his recent victory at the polls.

Mr Buhari was declared the winner of the February 23 presidential election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He scored 15,191,847 to defeat his closest rival, Atiku Abubakar, of the leading opposition, PDP who polled 11,262,978 votes.

Mr Oshiomhole while explaining the rationale behind the establishment of the institute said it is mainly to educate its members to know more about the ideals of the party.

Family › I made a mistake by allowing my wife to join politics, man cries in Court by nickxtra(op): 10:19pm On Aug 07, 2019*

A petrol marketer and father of five, Wasiu Badmus, on Wednesday expressed regrets that he allowed his wife, Suliyat, to go into politics because she had now allegedly become a prostitute.

Mr Badmus lamented the development while responding to his wife’s accusation of threat to life before the President, Mapo Customary Court, Ibadan, Ademola Odunade, saying that since he permitted his wife to join a political party, she became wayward.

Mr Badmus said he warned Suliyat when she indicated interest in joining a political party in Ibadan that men usually had romantic affairs with female politicians, but that he allowed her because he trusted her then.

“As soon as Suliyat began to attend rallies and political meetings, I started hearing negative stories of how she was laying about with men.

“Precisely, on February 28, I saw a top male politician in the community returning her at 11.30 p.m., and I was sad.

“Since that time, the earliest time she came home was midnight and she stopped taking instructions from me.

Not too long after, vigilantes alerted me around 2.00 a.m. that that same top politician just dropped her as usual, and I saw them together.

“I then reported her to an elderly politician in the neighbourhood, who promised to intervene, but her attitude even worsened.

“Moreover, I overheard Suliyat in a mobile phone conversation, booking an appointment with a man about their meeting point and time,” he said.

According to the man, he checked the wife’s phone when she was not around to get the top politician’s number, and called him.

“Later, Suliyat attacked me that I was threatening her before she reported me at the police station,” Mr Badmus said.

He noted that the police investigated the matter and were surprised to know that she had been unfaithful to him.

Crime › From the Archive: The Life & Times Of Colombian Drug Lord, Pablo Escobar(photos) by nickxtra(op): 12:52pm On Aug 06, 2019

Pablo Escobar is one man whose name can never be omitted in the history books of crime. Pablo Escobar, a Colombian drug lord, was a son of a farmer before he became the most successful criminal on earth. During his days, he was responsible for about 80% of all cocaine purchased around the entire world, he made the substance reach places no one else could. He was the leader of Medellin Cartel and his drug empire was bigger than his country's government. With a net worth of $30 billion, Escobar was the wealthiest man on earth during his time. On today's History Files, we sum up the life of Pablo Escobar with 10 facts about him.

1) In 1980's Escobar offered to pay off his country's total debt of 15 million dollars only if he would be given immunity. Colombian government, however, rejected the offer even though they needed it.
2) Escobar was responsible for the death of over 4,000 people which included a minister of justuce, more than 200 judges and more than 1,000 policemen.
3) He was also a philanthropist. He built stadiums, schools, hospitals and churches for the poor. Average Colombians loved him because of his charitable works and they nicknamed him 'Robin Hood.'
4) Escobar spent around $2,500 (N900,000) every month on rubber bands to hold all his money. �
5) He encountered difficulties transporting loads of cash he made each day. To solve this problem, he bought Learjet to hold up to 100 million dollars. Because he couldn't store his cash in the bank, he lost 2.1 billion dollars each year due to rats eating it and water damage.
6) While his family was on the run, his daughter became hypothermatic, to keep his daughter warm, Escobar burned 2 million dollars.�
7) Escobar smuggled about 15 tons of cocaine per day by stashing the cocaine into old plane tires. Sometimes, he soaked cloths with liquid cocaine and extracted it later.
cool

He paid around 500,000 dollars to pilots per day to transport his cocaine. At a point, he started smuggling with a remote-controlled submarine.
9) In 1991, Escobar offered to turn himself in to the authorities only if he would be allowed to build his own prison. The Colombian officials agreed and Escobar built a luxurious prison which he named 'The Cathedral'. The prison had a soccer field, a nightclub, a casino, a waterfall, computers and telephones.�
10) While serving jail term at 'his prison,' Escobar killed two of his fellow inmates and the prison officials decided to move him to another prison. He broke out of jail before he could be transfered in 1991. The Colombian government in collaboration with the U.S. officials launched a manhunt. In December 1993, his hide out was discovered and Colombian forces stormed the building few days after he celebrated his 44th birthday. He was fatally shot while trying to escape through the roof. Many poor people he helped when he was alive mourned his death. About 25,000 people were present for his burial.

Abdul Samad Rabiu is a foremost industrialist, billionaire businessman, philanthropist and the Founder/Executive Chairman of BUA Group – a company which he founded in 1988 and has become one of Nigeria’s largest privately owned foods, mining and infrastructure conglomerate with diversified investments spanning across key business sectors of the Nigerian economy.

He later ventured into steel, billets and iron ore importation and supplying multiple rolling mills in Nigeria.Few years down the line, BUA acquired Nigerian Oil Mills Limited in 2001 which was at the time, the largest edible oil processing company in Nigeria. He was later to set up 2 flour milling plants in Lagos and Kano in 2005. By 2008, BUA, under Abdul Samad’s astute leadership, commissioned the second largest sugar refinery in sub-saharan Africa.

He also started the construction of a new 3 million metric tonnes Cement plant in Sokoto state and has completed a new sugar Refinery in Port Harcourt making BUA the only company in Nigeria with a sugar Refinery outside Lagos.A former Chairman of Tropical Continental Bank from 1993 to 2000 and current Chairman of the publicly listed Cement Company of Northern Nigeria, Abdul Samad’s ever-expanding conglomerate boasts of several subsidiaries. Today, the BUA Group has been nurtured from a relatively small company in 1988 to a world-class conglomerate.

These are in addition to heavy portfolio investments in key sectors of the Nigerian economy.In addition to his economic contributions, Abdul Samad Rabiu, through the BUA Foundation, has also contributed immensely to various philanthropic and social development activities in various areas such as education, sports, and healthcare; with the ongoing development of a N7.5 billion 200-bed specialist hospital in Kano State.

Where is the wife of our amiable former Edo state, Governor Adams Oshiomole, who is currently the National Chairman of the APC, the Federal ruling party in Nigeria?

For over two years, not much has been heard between the couple, unlike in the past when the couple would always appear in public functions.

Rumours have it that they have parted ways for reasons bordering on highhandedness from the man, while others have it that she only wants to be operating behind the scenes.

Where is Lara, Oshiomole's wife?

Romance › Nollywood: Pictures Of Cossy Orjiakor's Sex Scene With Dog Surfaces (photos) by nickxtra(op): 11:19am On Aug 03, 2019

The producer of the movie “Itohan” in which Nollywood actress, Cossy Ojiakor was alleged to have had sex with a dog in one of the scenes has been found by Potpourri.

Mr Lucky Ewah, the producer spoke to Potpourri on phone and explained what actually happened in the film shot some years ago.

A video purportedly surfaced on YouTube showing Cossy Ojiakor in a sex scene with a dog after a defunct magazine, Enquirer owned by Tunde Moshood had made a mince meal of the scene in one of the publications of the magazine, alleging in plain words that actress, Cossy Ojiakor actually had sex with a dog with robust pictures to back it up. From 2002 till date, the producer of the movie “Itohan” has been incommunicado and nowhere to be seen until Potpourri tracked him down and had him speak on the role of Cossy Ojiakor in the movie.

The movie “Itohan” was shot in 2002 and uploaded on YouTube in 2009 after the magazine, Enquirer owned by Tunde Moshood made a publication about Cossy Ojiakor having sex with a dog just about the time the movie was being shot. It was 17 years ago and all the drama associated with the saga appeared to have been rested for good until Cossy opened the old wounds again in an Instagram post on her page two weeks ago.

It all started with a picture post by Uche Ogbodo on Instagram, showing Halima Abubakar and three other actresses. Cossy had reacted to the picture, calling Halima a snake that betrayed her. She then went ahead to paint the picture of how Halima Abubakar leaked the pictures from the movie “Itohan” to Tunde Moshood, publisher of the then Enquirer, whom she also described as Halima’s boyfriend. “

We were roommates at the time and she had access to my things. I got a picture from the location camera guy on some of the scenes from the film. Halima stole the pictures and gave his boyfriend who twisted the story to sell his magazine,” she said in a private chat with Potpourri.

Politics › President Buhari Directs Gov. Obaseki To Issue New Proclamation Of State Assembl by nickxtra(op): 7:23am On Jul 29, 2019

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly directed Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State to issue a fresh proclamation for inauguration of the state House of Assembly.

This came as Edo State chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, weekend, rubbished claims that Governor Obaseki was at loggerheads with his predecessor and National Chairman of the party, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, over control of the state and leadership tussle in Edo State House of Assembly. Edo State APC chairman, Mr Anselm Ojezua, who made the disclosure during an interactive session with newsmen in Lagos, blamed the crisis on the deceptive nature of players in the state’s political space.

Meanwhile, sources disclosed to Vanguard, weekend, Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, who is a member of the committee set up by President Buhari to resolve Edo State crisis, declared the stand of the president at the first re-conciliatory meeting of the group in Abuja, last week. The committee, headed by Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, has el-Rufai and business magnate, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, as members.

Both the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, and Governor Obaseki are members of the committee. The initial meeting of the committee, presided over by Fayemi, was held at Ekiti House, Abuja. A source said el-Rufai informed the meeting as they commenced that he had information from President Buhari. He hinted: “The Kaduna State governor told the meeting that President Buhari wants Obaseki to issue a fresh proclamation for re-inauguration of the House of Assembly, and that anybody interested in the speaker’s position should contest it. Obaseki’s position “Governor Obaseki interjected, saying he thought they were looking for peace, but having seen the handwriting on the wall, even before the meeting, he said he would want to appeal to Oshiomhole for a situation where the self-worth of both sides would be accommodated in the final resolution.’’

Vanguard learned that the governor argued that if the present speaker, Mr Frank Okiye, would be sacrificed, then Oshiomhole should also shift grounds on his preferred candidate, Mr Victor Edoror, for a neutral person, Mr Emmanuel Okoduwa. It was learned that el-Rufai demanded to know what Obaseki meant by accommodating the interests of both sides, saying if the governor wants anybody in the new dispensation as speaker, he should ask him to lobby his colleagues and he (Obaseki) should also lobby the lawmakers for him. The Kaduna governor, according to the source, made reference to the recent inauguration of the National Assembly, where the president and the party settled for the incumbent Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan, while Senator Mohammed Ndume insisted on his rights to contest, with everybody lobbying the senators-elect.
