When the results of their vote start manifesting in the form of killings, kidnapping, banditry and hunger their brain will reset by force.....
stadium maybe full to capacity due to monetary inducement, religion and tribalism. Bad government doesn't select tribe religion or party but the truth still remain that only Good can overcome evil.

Vote wisely.

A WARNING FOR THE FOREIGN MINISTER AND PEOPLE OF SOUTH AFRICA

"I would appreciate them in helping us as well to address the belief our people have and the reality that there are many persons from Nigeria dealing in drugs in our country"- Dr. Grace Naledi Mandisa Pandor, South African Minister of International Relations.

Is this the sort of thing that ought to be said by the South African Government when we are still in mourning and when we have not even buried our compatriots that were cruelly slain, bludgeoned to death and cut to pieces in the streets of South Africa?

At a time when this irresponsible, insensitive, shameless, conflicted, self-hating, pitiful and mendacious creature that calls herself the Foreign Minister of South Africa should be apologising to the Nigerian people for the mindless savagery and barbarity of her blood-crazed compatriots, she is pointing accusing fingers at their victims and the objects of their collective hate and seeking to demonise them. What have we done to deserve this? First you kill us then you seek to justify it and criminalise us!

Does this she-devil of a Foreign Minister really believe that innocent Nigerian men, women and children should be butchered at will in the streets of South Africa by bloodthirsty and bestial mobs?

Worse still does she think it is right and proper that this is done with the full endorsement and support of both the South African Government and police? Is that the way forward? Is that the way to build bridges in Africa and enhance peace and stability on the continent?

Can such behaviour be justified or defended under any circumstances? What would she do or think if the Nigerian Government and people decided to reciprocate and mete the same treatment out to South Africans that reside in Nigeria and South African companies that are situated here?

In any case how many of those that were butchered over the years were drug dealers? If it is true that as many Nigerians deal in drugs as she has suggested, why can't the South African Government apprehend, arrest and prosecute them and send them to jail rather than demonise, misrepresent, target and kill innocent and defenceless Nigerians?

This is a clear case of racial stereotyping and a squalid and shameful attempt to justify hate, racism, xenophobia, self-hate, black on black violence and mass murder. Permit me to educate the South African Foreign Minister and to set the record straight.

There are thousands of Nigerian professionals, academics, lecturers, intellectuals, businessmen, teachers, scientists, engineers and doctors in your country working hard, doing a great job and contributing massively to your development and economy.

The fact that your people hate Nigerians and enjoy killing us has nothing to do with drugs, human-trafficking or drug-trafficking. It is because your people are hateful, ignorant, xenophobic, lazy, racist and envious of ours.

And the few irresponsible Nigerians that go to South Africa and indulge in terrible and unforgivable crimes like drug and human-trafficking and gang-related violence do so only because your people have a terrible weakness, an undue fascination and an insatiable appetite for hard drugs, alcohol, prostitues, men and women of easy virtue and the dark, ugly and wild side of life.

It is therefore not surprising that South Africa has, for the better part of the last 25 years, been described as the "world's capital for homicide" and the country with the "highest number of people that have been afflicted with HIV AIDS!"

Rather than work hard, like their Nigerians counterparts, South Africans prefer to go to sleazy and cheap nightclubs, to gamble on gaming machines and poker tables, to drink huge amounts of beer, to take massive amounts of hard drugs and to stay at home, watch television and sleep. They are not particularly good at anything except singing beautiful songs and killing their fellow Africans.

It is for this singular reason that their women love and respect Nigerian men and have nothing but contempt for their own. Generally-speaking Nigerian men are strong, productive, virile, focused, courageous, industrious, adventurous and hard-working with a touch of arrogance and they excel in all their ways. Sadly the average South African male does not possess these virtues or qualities.

It does not stop there. For the better part of the last 50 years Nigeria has been the major military and economic power in Africa and we have used our wealth, power and influence wisely and expeditiously to the advantage of many countries on the continent.

For example, had it not been for us the minority white Boers would still be ruling over the black South Africans and apartheid would still have been firmly in place.

We nationalised British Petroleum and Barclays Bank because of them in the late 1970's and thereby compelled the British to accept our demand of black majority rule in South Africa and Zimbabwe and to stop supporting apartheid and white minority governments.

We are far ahead of South Africa in terms of education and virtually every other sphere of human endeavour and we have opened up our country for them to come and invest in without any pre-conditions, obstacles or trade barriers.

Today Nigeria is by far the biggest market for their expertise, products, goods and services and if that market were to ever be closed to them or if their companies were nationalised it would affect their economy enormously.

The truth is that they benefit far more from and make far more money from us today than we benefit and make money from them.

In a trade war they have far more to lose than we do because not that many Nigerian companies have invested heavily in and operate in South Africa whilst many South African companies have invested heavily in and operate in Nigeria.

As a matter of fact some of those companies make more money from the Nigerian market and their Nigerian operations than they do in the whole of the rest of Africa put together.

That is what we have offered and given them and yet they have offered and given us next to nothing in return. All we get from them are insults, violence and heartache!

Historically and in every other way they are very much our juniors. Our people were educated at Oxford, Cambridge and the very best universities in the world since 1860. South African blacks never went to a real university until the 1990's after aparthied fell.

We have liberated and brought peace, justice and stability to many African countries and been a blessing to the African continent for many decades despite our present challenges.

Whether it be Angola, Mozambique, Congo, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Ethiopia, Eritea, Ghana, Namibia, Sierra Leonne, Liberia, Sao Tome and Principe, Sudan, Chad, Niger and so many others, we were there in full force with our money, our resources, our arms, our logistical support, our oil, our economic concessions, our aid and in some cases our troops.

We shed blood and our blood was shed for other African countries over the years yet all we get in return are insults.

If you say Nigerians are drug pushers and human traffickers then I will say that South Africans are losers, racists, drop-outs, failures and genocidal maniacs.

Worse still had the white Boers not built up South Africa it would still be a barren land and the black population would still be nothing but slaves that live in filthy and squalid little townships.

Despite all the razzmatazz and great public relations about being a happy and prosperous "rainbow nation" where everyone is so happy and is treated so well, the truth is that South Africa remains a country with a black body and a white head.

I say this because even though political control and leadership has been ceded to the blacks, 80% of the multi-national corporations, big business, industry, the private sector and the economy and 90% of the choicest land, the biggest farms and the best farmlands still remain in the hands of the white Boer minority.

Given this, is it any wonder that black South Africans are literally going mad and are deeply frustrated and filled with hatred and bitterness?

They have nothing and, unlike in the days of Oliver Tambo, Nelson Mandela and Thabo Mbeki (all great and inspiring men of strength, courage, wisdom, conviction and profound wisdom) other than a handful of new political leaders who are essentially corrupt, weak, fearful, divided, conflicted and uninspiring token niggers and Uncle Toms (with the possible exception of a bright, courageous and rising young star by the name of Julius Malema), their prospects of ever amounting to anything over the next 100 years is very dim.

The real power still resides in the hands of the minority white Boers and the prospects for a prosperous and bright future lies heavily in their favour at the expense of the majority blacks.

If only the South Africans knew and remembered their history and considered ours they would be praying for Nigeria and thanking us every day rather than insulting and killing us.

Without our support and the pressure we brought to bear, the great Nelson Mandela may never have been freed and the ANC and its armed wing (Umkhonto Wi SIzwe) would not have received the massive and robust funding and support that it did throughout the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's.

Together with the Cubans and the Libyans, Nigeria did more for the liberation of South Africa and South African majority rule than any other nation in the world.

What the South Africans are doing to Nigerians today makes me regret the fact that we did so much for them in the past.

They have repaid our good with evil and consequently evil will never leave their doorstep. They have shed our blood for no just cause and the heavens will respond and avenge us. They have made us weep and shed tears for our compatriots and for this they shall pay a heavy price!

The South African Foreign Minister and those that share her racist and deplorable disposition and xenophobic views should consider these facts and the implications of her words and actions before she ventures to open her fat, ugly and very undiplomatic mouth to speak untruths and garbage about Nigeria and Nigerians again.

Failing to do so may provoke a series of cataclysmic events and unpredictable and harsh reprisals which would result in the final demystification and total humiliation of the "rainbow nation" and the painful and everlasting disgrace of its people.

Make no mistake about it, even a Nigeria in her weakened state and with all her challenges is still big and strong enough to bring South Africa to its knees.

And if the killing and mass murder of our people does not stop that is precisely what we shall do. A word is enough for the wise.

Permit me to conclude this contribution with the following.

Many years ago in the early to mid-1970's, when apartheid was alive and well in South Africa and when I was a young student at Harrow, which undoubtedly remains the best private school in England, I broke the jaw of a blond, blue-eyed English-speaking white South African fellow student who said some very nasty things about black South Africans during a history class.

During a heated debate about racial segregation and the South African Mixed Race Act which made it a criminal offence for blacks and whites to get married or have sexual relations, he got up and said, before the entire class, that

"allowing those dirty black dogs to touch our beautiful and pure white women is sacrilage. It is against the laws of God! It is like getting a monkey to mate with a human being!"

Finally he said "no sane white woman would ever want to have sex with a black African monkey and any of them that do should be sent to jail".

I reacted swiftly and without any hesitation. Without any warning or even words of anger, I left my desk, walked up to him and broke his jaw with one clean blow from my right fist. He never knew what hit him!

I remember hearing and enjoying the way his jaw popped open and cracked. It was a strange noise and as he hit the floor his legs started to shake uncontrollably after which he lost consciousness.

For one horrendous moment I thought I had killed him but thankfully eventually his eyes opened, he sat up and he was rushed to the hospital on a stretcher.

He hailed from one of the biggest and richest white families in South Africa who were (and still are) in the diamond mining business. I almost got expelled from Harrow for my "wild and unruly" behaviour until I gave my reasons for hitting him to the school authorities.

They were shocked and equally appauled by what he had said, which they rightly regarded as a grave and reckless provocation, and they decided to let me off the hook.

I was reprimanded and warned and I remember that the Headmaster wrote a formal letter about the incident to my father who was livid with me for jeopordising my entire academic career simply because of a racial slight and slur.

Papa said "you didn't have to hit him and almost kill the poor boy: you could have just attempted to educate him in a civilised manner and at the worst insult him back!"

Yet I had no regrets or remorse about my course of action or the choice that I made and to my eternal credit I never apologised for my action to the South African, the school authorities, my father or anyone else.

The truth is that I was proud of what I did and I believed that defending the honor of my black South African colleagues was far more important than staying at Harrow. I was prepared to risk it all by physically assaulting the white boy and I did it with relish.

My gamble paid off and the South African boy, as sober as ever, never insulted or spoke ill of blacks again in my prescence.

As a matter of fact we ended up becoming friends in the following years and I will never forget what he told me just before we left Harrow in 1977. I remember the words because I wrote them down at the time and have meditated on them for years.

He said "you don't understand the Bantus" (meaning black South Africans).

He went on to say "the day they get power in South Africa is the day that South Africa will begin to die. Since the 17th century we Boers built up everything there and they contributed nothing. We fought the Zulus and later the British and we built and developed that land with our flesh, sweat and blood. Giving a country like South Africa to them is like giving a monkey a loaded gun. They will use it to kill everyone around them and eventually they will kill themselves. They are not like you Nigerians: they have no history or class. They are unenlightened, ungrateful, primitive, uncouth and very backward and one day the rest of Africa will know them for what they are!"

Judging from the words of the South African Foreign Minister and the xenophobic and racist diposition of the South African President, Government and people, it appears that that day has finally come.

I don't pray to die in this country

So our health system has deteriorated to the extent of using stone as a working tool during treatment?

Na hospital be this sef?

Am Even surprised to see that. It is a road side morgue.

flemsy15:
this is not democracy, we won't agree, D AAC guy should use all his money and if possible borrow from Amaechi and head to d tribunal. this is pure daylight robbery

He should come and borrow from you.

ruffhandu:
Nice to hear. I'm sure Aba road will be a thoroughfare now. PH residents don suffer small.

But wait o, this Awara guy take style chop some popularity. His deputy might be luckier as he don join Wike for table, imagine how him luck just shine.

Wike has escaped a grand plan by amaechi and NA-
1. keep causing wahala, then use oga at the top to declare state of emergency, replace with a retire military officer. OR
2.keep dragging the matter till may 29, then knock wike out and replace him with an interim admin

Either 1 or 2, then apply ganduje's style and neatly take wike out.

But wike is more "crookish" and political than amaechi.

I'm imagining how wike was able to get Inec staff not to fall for amaechi, upon all military, tout, sars, cash intimidations employed by amaechi.

I'm also imagining how much amaechi splashed this period. Chai! I pity Nigerians, they are suffering and battling poverty while the politicians are using their money and them to do everything to remain in power and keep oppressing them. Tufiakwa!

good one wike

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Monday said the federal government feeds public school pupils with 594 cattle, 138,000 chickens, 6.8million eggs and 83 metric tons of fish on a weekly basis.

Professor Osinbajo disclosed this while delivering a lecture titled ‘Nigeria Rising: The Path to Prosperity’ at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) 50th convocation.
He said that at a cost of $0.19 per child per day, the FG is able to provide a balanced meal for every one of the 9,300,892 pupils in 49,837 public primary schools in 26 states across Nigeria.

The programme, according to him, employs 95,422 cooks and over 100,000 small holder farmers linked to the programme supplying locally sourced ingredients.
“As you can imagine, the quantity of starch and vegetables required for this programme on a weekly basis is equally impressive. Dietary energy and nutrients with established links to cognition-carbohydrates, protein, fat, iron and iodine as well as minerals with public health importance – are targeted by the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSF).

“The programme aims to provide 50% of the recommended nutrient intake targets for protein and prioritized micro-nutrients including iron, iodine, zinc, vitamin A, folate and vitamin C and 30% of energy because of the high burden of under-nutrition and micro-nutrient deficiencies in Nigeria.

“There is also a de-worming programme attached to the school feeding programme,” he explained.

He further noted that by the end of the year, the number of new states joining the school feeding programme will increase as the NHGSFP is set to become the largest school feeding programme in Africa.

The FG, according to Osinbajo, took the decision to embark on a School Feeding Programme as an important part of its human capital development agenda, by tackling the broader issues of eradication of poverty, food and nutrition security as well as increasing school enrolment.

He therefore stressed that prosperity will be attained if Nigeria is able to address the issues of extreme poverty, productivity, corruption, the rule of law and the deficiencies in the quality of human resources caused by poor education and healthcare.

Veteran Nigerian singer, Charly Boy, in a new twist to the bribery scandal trailing the Our Mumu Don Do Movement, has said he never collected money from Festus Keyamo.

In a new video the Area Fada posted on his social media page, he admitted having received money from Keyamo to observe Deji Adeyanju’s countenance and find out if he was after the cash or the goal of the group.

If you recollect, Festus Keyamo, in a statement he released days ago, denied paying Charly Boy, to release a diss track for both the APC and PDP:

“I’ve been having some good laugh. Whoever thinks that I would pay a penny for a song by @Areafada1 that disses both the APC and PDP must have his/her head examined. If the quarreling parties want to hurt their egos by bandying phantom figures, they should leave me out of it”.

While confirming the statement made by Keyamo, Charly Boy said he received nothing from the Director of Media in the Buhari Campaign Organization.

Watch him deny receiving money from Keyamo and also addressing other issues as regarding the controversy trailing the movement.

The Senator representing Zamfara Central District in the National Assembly, Kabiru Marafa, has advised the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, to stand by the truth as regards the party’s 2018 October’s botched primaries in the state.

Marafa, who is Chairman of Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream), gave the advice in a letter addressed to Oshiomhole during the weekend in reaction to his reported endorsement of the Zamfara APC faction led by Governor Abdulaziz Yari when he featured on Channels TV’s Hard Copy last Friday.

He urged the party chairman to maintain his position as a leader by standing by the truth, and not allow pressure from some interested individuals to change him.

Marafa wrote, “It’s quite unfortunate and disheartening to watch the hitherto respected comrade rubbishing his hard earned name before the whole world.

“Oshiomhole performed creditably well during the party primaries as he led the party aright to the admiration of all, including those in the opposition parties.

“He aligned himself with the masses, against some state governors who assumed the position of the Almighty in their respective states. Why do you want to change, my Comrade?

”What Oshiomhole said (on Hard Copy) was nothing but a wicked lie that can neither stand moral nor legal scrutiny.

“Records and documentary evidences are abound everywhere that APC did not conduct primaries in Zamfara state, due to the attitude of the state governor who threatened publicly to send Oshiomhole to the graveyard if he dares him.

“Oshiomhole at the peak of the controversy affirmed the fact that no primaries was conducted and his famous video of ‘primaries are to be conducted not by state governments nor by state party chairmen but by the panels sent by the partys NWC, is still very much available on the internet.
“Equally available is INEC’s letter to him (Oshiomhole) that they receive reports from their local office in Gusau that APC didn’t conduct valid primaries as at 12 am on Sunday, October 7, 2018. It was based on this fact that INEC said it wasn’t expecting candidates from (APC) and you Chief Oshiomhole responded by accepting the fact that APC didn’t conduct primaries but you did consensus! A simple google search will amplify these facts.”

Marafa also reminded Oshiomhole that Governor Yari sat in company of his state factional chairman of the APC and announced the results of his primaries live on Television and the video is still very much available on the net.

“It’s not only shocking but unbelievable that our comrade chairman, likable by all will change his narrations at the tail end of the match and this is a minus to the Comrade that i have known to be a respecter of rules and facts.”

Guarantee Trust Bank says it is taking all necessary legal steps to ensure that no illegal or fraudulent execution is carried out by Innoson motors, with whom it has a long-drawn-out court case.

On Friday, Innoson Nigeria Limited had announced that it obtained a writ of Fifa from the Federal High Court in Awka, Anambra State, against GTB to effect the judgment given by the Federal High Court in Ibadan and upheld by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Cornel Osigwe, the Head of Corporate Communication of Innoson, made the announcement, saying

“The Chairman of Innoson Group, Chief Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, OFR has through a Writ of FiFa taken over Guaranty Trust Bank PLC for and on behalf of Innoson Nigeria Ltd as a result of the bank’s indebtedness to Innoson Nigeria Ltd. In a landmark decision on February 27th 2019, the Supreme Court of Nigeria dismissed GTB’s appeal — SC. 694/2014 — against the judgment of Court of Appeal, Ibadan Division.”

“We have taken over GTBank in Awka and Nnewi,” Osigwe subsequently announced, adding that “other branches are coming soon”.

However, the bank has moved to assure its customers of the safety of their funds, clarifying that the said judgement is applicable to the account of the Nigerian Customs Service Board domiciled with the bank, rather than the bank as an entity.

“The attention of Guaranty Trust Bank PLC (“the Bank”) has been drawn to statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported enforcement of a judgement of the Federal High court, Ibadan, Oyo state, at one of its branches in Anambra state,” it said in a statement on Friday night.

“The Bank as a law-abiding corporate citizen is taking all necessary legal steps to address this situation and ensure that no illegal or fraudulent execution is carried out.
“It is important to state that the Judgment allegedly in issue is in respect of a Garnishee Proceedings against the account of the Nigerian Customs Service Board domiciled with the Bank and not against the Bank as an entity.

“The Bank remains committed to providing best-in- class customer experience to all its valued customers.”

The Adara Community in Kajuru Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State says it requires about N50 million to rebuild 545 houses destroyed by gunmen following a series of attacks.

The Chairman of the community, Mumini Madugu, disclosed this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna on Sunday.

He said the attacks left thousands of the Adara people homeless.

Mr Madugu said the community came under attacks few days after a statement from the Government House Kaduna on February 15, alleging that a number of Fulani people including women and children have been killed by the locals.

He said series of attacks launched between February 10 and March 11, left 148 people dead and 545 houses destroyed
“The attackers in their hundreds first invaded Unguwan Barde, killed 35 people and destroyed 90 houses and proceeded to Karamai village on Feb. 2, killed 42 people and destroyed 196 houses.

“On March 11, Dogon Noma community was also attacked, 71 people were killed, and 259 houses destroyed, making a total of 148 people killed and 545 houses destroyed.

“In all the attacks, 65 people were seriously injured and currently in hospitals receiving treatment, while about N28 million worth of grains and other foodstuff were also burnt.

“These attacks have displaced thousands of our people including 2,000 children who are currently taking shelter in eight camps across three LGAs of the state – Chikun, Kajuru and Kachia,” he said.

The chairman called on government at all levels and well-meaning Nigerians to come to their aid and help them rebuild their houses so they can return home.
He thanked government agencies, Non-Governmental Organisations, community organisations and civil society organisations for supporting them with relief materials.

One of the elders, Usman Stingo that the area has a history of peaceful coexistence with settlers including the Hausa and Fulani people.

Mr Stingo, a retired teacher particularly described the relationship between the Adara people and the Fulani as a symbiotic one dating far back to the days of their forefathers.

He, however, said that the relationship began to deteriorate in 2017 over a relationship between a Hausa boy and an Adara girl which led to a communal clash resulting in loss of lives and property.

“Also, on October 18, 2018, another misunderstanding occurred at Kasuwan Magani and escalated into serious crises that claimed more than 100 lives.

“A day after that, the Chief of Adara was kidnapped and murdered. And since then, Kajuru LGA and the Adara people have always been on the news but for the wrong reasons,” he said.

The elder blamed the series of attacks in the community on the government’s inability to perform its duty of protecting lives and property.

“Hardly will anyone convince us that local Fulani in Kajuru are responsible for these attacks because the accent of the attackers was completely different from that of the Fulani people who live with us.

“We do not believe that the Fulani that we lived with for ages can suddenly have a change of attitude and turned brutal.

“We are of the view that the attackers might have been hired mercenaries, but who hired them is a question we do not have answers to,” he said.

On how to restore the lost relationship, the elder stressed on the need for the Adara and Fulani elders to close ranks whenever something of this nature comes up and fish out the culprits.

“But leaving one group to go searching for who attacked only gives room for suspicions and mistrust which if not properly managed could escalate into a serious crisis with unimaginable consequences.
“The state government must also ensure justice and fairness to all and be a government for all by particularly improving security in the state and bringing the assailants to book,” he said.

Nigeria’s politics has witnessed a wave of troubling political assassinations since return to democratic rule in 1999.

Assassination has since become an instrument of settling political scores in Nigeria.

Although some of the killings were discountenanced as ordinary murders, the timing of killings leaves no doubt that they were politically motivated.

Actions by the government and police to stem the ugly tide and find the killers were insufficient and ineffective.

Although this list is not exhaustive, here are top 9 of the glut of political assassinations in the country's history:

1. Chief Bola Ige

Nigeria’s Justice Minister and Attorney General Bola Ige was shot dead in his home in Ibadan, in the southwestern state of Oyo, on December 23, 2001 becoming the highest level politician to have been killed in Nigeria while in office.

Fingers were pointed at the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for complicity in his murder and Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka referred to the PDP as a “nest of killers”.

The murder case which accompanied his murder was muddled up as one political thug called Fryo who had confessed to being part of the murder and implicated the then Deputy Governor of Bola Ige’s home State, Osun, was later left off the hook when the government withdrew the case from court for “want of evidence”.
His murder was widely linked to a political crisis between the Governor and Deputy Governor of Osun State, where Ige hailed from.

Ige was the political mentor of the Governor, Bisi Akande who was at loggerhead with his deputy, Iyiola Omisore. Four days before Bola Ige's death, a member of the Osun State House of Assembly, Odunayo Olagbaju who was a supporter of the deputy Governor, had been stabbed to death in Ile-Ife.

Some believed Ige’s killing was in retaliation of Olagbaju’s while others were of the opinion that Ige was a victim of PDP’s political chicanery in a desperate bid to control the South West being held by The Alliance for Democracy (AD) party of which Ige was the undisputed leader in the West.

In the 2003 election, PDP won all but one of the South West states largely due to the vacuum of leadership in the AD due to the assassination of Bola Ige.

2. Marshall Harry

On March 5, 2003, Harry Marshall, the national vice chairman for the South-South Zone of the now defunct All Nigeria’s People’s Party was killed in December 2001.

Marshall Harry was an important politician both nationally and within Rivers State, where he was known as a political "kingmaker."

He had supported the Rivers Governor Peter Odili in the 1999 election but later disagreed with Odili's policies and began a move to stop the reelection of Odili in 2003.

He moved to the ANPP after his suspension by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2001 for "anti-party" activities. He then began to campaign against President Obasanjo.
On the night of March 5 2003, some armed men in plain clothes came to Harry Marshall’s residence in Abuja, the federal capital and made their way to his bedroom.

He began to shout for help, but no help came even though his residence was located within walking distance of the headquarters of the Abuja police command. Although the motive for his killing was later said to have nothing to do with politics according to the Police, those familiar with the political scene in Rivers State believed that his death was related to the bad feeling between him and the Rivers State government.

3. Ogbonnaya Uche

An ANPP senatorial candidate in the Southeastern state of Imo and former commissioner in the Imo state government, Ogbonnaya Uche, was shot in his home in Owerri on February 8, 2003, and died two days later.
Uche told journalists before his death in the hospital, that he believed the attack was political, and explained that two days before the shooting, he had been trailed to the party secretariat by a group of armed men, who had asked his driver where he was.

4. Abigail And Barnabas Igwe

In the Southeastern state of Anambra, Barnabas Igwe, chairman of the state branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, and his wife Abigail Amaka Igwe were ambushed in their car and brutally murdered in Onitsha, in September 2002.

Barnabas Igwe had been an open critic of then Anambra state Governor Chinwoke Mbadinuju, and had called for the governor's resignation due to his failure to pay government workers for several months.
Mbadinuju was the only one of twenty-one PDP governors who could not get a re-nomination of his party in the 2003 election due to his alleged involvement in the murder. He was charged to court for the murder but was never convicted.

5. Ayo Daramola

A PDP governorship aspirant in the Southwest state of Ekiti was killed on August 14, 2006 in what the police said could be a political assassination.

Ayo Daramola of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP), was stabbed and shot in his hometown of Ijan-Ekiti.

His assailants scaled the fence of his home, attacked his guards and burrowed a hole to his bedroom where they killed him, according to the police. Daramola was killed hours after he staged a campaign rally in the state capital Ado Ekiti the previous day.

A PDP senator, Bode Olowoporoku and former Deputy Governor in Ekiti State, Biodun Aluko, accused the state government of being the mastermind of the murder. That was the end of that matter as nobody was convicted.

6. Funsho Williams

Three weeks before Daramola’s killing, on July 27, 2006, a leading governorship aspirant in Lagos State, Funso Williams of the ruling PDP was strangled in his home, a few hours after he returned from a political meeting.
Williams was a leading member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP), which was locked in a bitter internal struggle over the Party’s ticket for the Lagos coveted governorship seat.

Although about a dozen top politicians were detained by the police in relation to his assassination, they were later released leading many to believe that like many past political killings, this would end up as another undetected murder.

7. General Sani Abacha

Nigeria’s Military ruler, Sani Abacha died at the presidential villa in Abuja in June 8, 1998. Officially, Abacha’s death was natural. But many believe the brutish ruler who conducted a massive loot on the country’s coffers was poisoned. Poisoned or natural death, I guess we will never know.

8. Obi Wali

The seed of murder was sowed in the Niger Delta region of Nigerian when Ikwere, River State born politician of progressive inclination, Dr. Obi Wali, was brutally murdered in his Port Harcourt residence. Although the police questioned his wife back then in the early 90s, the case died just like that.
9. Aminosari Dikibo

The obnoxious wind of death has never stopped blowing in the South as another big politician. Chief Aminasoari Dikibo, was also killed on February 6, 2004. The killers of the PDP National Vice Chairman (South South) were never apprehended, though the police allegedly adopted a face-saving tactics of parading some armed robbers as the suspects. Fifteen years down the line, there has been no conviction.

Political assassination continues till date as seen during the March 9, 2019 governorship and state house elections during which Temitope Olatoye, a serving federal lawmaker representing Lagelu/Akinyele Federal Constituency in Oyo State was shot dead. The reason for his murder remains a mystery till today just has there hasnt been an headway in nailing the perpetrators. What we know is that, the murder has political undertone.

Share your thoughts on the unending menace of political assasination that has continued to plague Nigerian politics.

Nigeria’s politics has witnessed a wave of troubling political assassinations since return to democratic rule in 1999.

Assassination has since become an instrument of settling political scores in Nigeria.

Although some of the killings were discountenanced as ordinary murders, the timing of killings leaves no doubt that they were politically motivated.

Actions by the government and police to stem the ugly tide and find the killers were insufficient and ineffective.

Although this list is not exhaustive, here are top 9 of the glut of political assassinations in the country's history:

1. Chief Bola Ige

Nigeria’s Justice Minister and Attorney General Bola Ige was shot dead in his home in Ibadan, in the southwestern state of Oyo, on December 23, 2001 becoming the highest level politician to have been killed in Nigeria while in office.

Fingers were pointed at the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for complicity in his murder and Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka referred to the PDP as a “nest of killers”. The murder case which accompanied his murder was muddled up as one political thug called Fryo who had confessed to being part of the murder and implicated the then Deputy Governor of Bola Ige’s home State, Osun, was later left off the hook when the government withdrew the case from court for “want of evidence”.
His murder was widely linked to a political crisis between the Governor and Deputy Governor of Osun State, where Ige hailed from.

Ige was the political mentor of the Governor, Bisi Akande who was at loggerhead with his deputy, Iyiola Omisore. Four days before Bola Ige's death, a member of the Osun State House of Assembly, Odunayo Olagbaju who was a supporter of the deputy Governor, had been stabbed to death in Ile-Ife.

Some believed Ige’s killing was in retaliation of Olagbaju’s while others were of the opinion that Ige was a victim of PDP’s political chicanery in a desperate bid to control the South West being held by The Alliance for Democracy (AD) party of which Ige was the undisputed leader in the West.

In the 2003 election, PDP won all but one of the South West states largely due to the vacuum of leadership in the AD due to the assassination of Bola Ige.

2. Marshall Harry

On March 5, 2003, Harry Marshall, the national vice chairman for the South-South Zone of the now defunct All Nigeria’s People’s Party was killed in December 2001.

Marshall Harry was an important politician both nationally and within Rivers State, where he was known as a political "kingmaker."

He had supported the Rivers Governor Peter Odili in the 1999 election but later disagreed with Odili's policies and began a move to stop the reelection of Odili in 2003.

He moved to the ANPP after his suspension by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in 2001 for "anti-party" activities. He then began to campaign against President Obasanjo.
On the night of March 5 2003, some armed men in plain clothes came to Harry Marshall’s residence in Abuja, the federal capital and made their way to his bedroom.

Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, says some cities in Nigeria can now boast of constant power supply.
He said this on the Sunrise Daily programme of Channels Television on Wednesday.
“Sitting down here I can tell you some states that have almost 24 hours – Kebbi, Yobe. Some have five, some have 10 and there are still outages,” he said.
He said the constant power supply in some states is due to the increase in the transmission capacity.
The transmission capacity has grown, he said, adding that the figure was about 8,100 watts as at December 2018.
“The generation capacity is also increasing,” he said.
“It is a value chain where the distribution is not matching up the available power and from time to time, there are slacks,” Mr Fashola said.
He said the Ministry of Power has moved forward but needs to implement the short term goals it set.
“The short term goals are incremental power and stable supply in some places,” he said.
“The government has decided that as 40 per cent holder of everything in the distribution of power, we have our programme to invest N72 billion which will involve installing transformers and all of that,” he said.
“We created a metre access provider regulation. What it does is to create a new plan of investment programme. We manufacture, produce, supply and install metres and fill the gap the distribution companies cannot raise capital to fill. They cannot do so alone, they must do so under a procurement policy with the distribution company,” he said.
The minister said the federal government will solve the problems of poor power supply in the country and will also keep informing citizens on the watts being consumed in the country.
“We are applying many solutions at the same time. So when we were talking about how much megawatts is being used, we have created a new page which will bring solution,” he said.
Mr Fashola recently sparked outrage by saying the federal government should not be blamed for poor electricity supply across the country.
The minister said business people operating in the sector should be blamed for the poor state of electricity supply to Nigerians.
He argued that since the sector has been privatised, it was not the Nigerian government’s fault if citizens fail to enjoy stable electricity supply
The minister also denied that he once said a serious government would fix power sector challenges within six months. He challenged anyone to produce any video where he made such a comment

Lawyer writes Baru, condemns NNPC’s recruitment criteria
Published
March 27, 2019
An Abuja-based lawyer, Mr. Pelumi Olajengbesi, has written a letter to the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, condemning what he described as “discriminatory recruitment process.”

Olajengbesi, in the letter dated March 26, vowed to approach the court to ensure protection of the fundamental rights of Nigerians who are qualified to apply but are barred from participating because of age criteria.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the criteria for Graduate Trainee, among others, require applicants to have graduated from an accredited university/polytechnic/monotechnic not earlier than 2014.
The criteria also requires that applicants must not be more than 28 years of age as at December 31, 2018.
Olajengbesi, however, pointed out that the criteria and process violated Section 3(e)(iv) of the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure), 2009 which protects the public interest of Nigerians.
“Following the advertisement for the 2019 NNPC recruitment for Graduate Trainee, Experienced Hires, Senior Officers and Supervisory Cadre on your official website, dated March 13, 2019 of which the criteria for application include that an applicant must not be above the ages of 28, 34 and 37 respectively.
“I wish to express outright disapproval on the above set criteria used by the Corporation in the ongoing recruitment, being discriminatory, segregatory and exclusive to the disadvantage of qualified Nigerians who may wish to participate in the process. “My disapproval of this age discriminatory recruitment process is anchored on the provision of Section 42 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), which stops any person, organisation or body from discriminating against any citizen of Nigeria,” Olajengbesi said in the letter.
According to him, the action of NNPC also violates Section 17(3) of the Nigerian Constitution which provides for the opportunity of securing adequate means of livelihood and abhors all unequal processes in the labour process. “The NNPC as a federal entity must be at the vanguard of safeguarding and justifying this provision through its dealings with the public.
“It is rather disheartening that an esteemed Corporation such as the NNPC has set itself on the path of total disregard of constitutional provisions, while being an agent of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
