Please help me tell him that 40years after his forceful demise, Nigeria is not better yet. Poverty, suffering, impunity, economic crime against the citizens and the state, electoral malpractice, massive corruption,looting, oligarchy and tyranny are stiil holding sway. The youths are seeking assylum everywhere and the rich are sending their children to other nations. The poor are dying. Terror is being unleashed everywhere. Industries are failing and infrastructure are decaying.The naira is on a free fall. There are so many schools and graduates but Joblessness and fruustration have overwhelmed us.

Well he can write any thing he wishes. We challenge him to declare his assets and also as an insider tell us the details of all the payments received by all federal officials. Obasanjo is a very shameless old thief

Get to call for a family meeting and let your parents talk to her. Every individual has got a life to live

TYRANNY TYRANNY TYRANNY! We will soon break loose and the fire may end up even consuming the tyrant.

There is every indication that Nigerians are going to revolt against this government. Anyone who is close to buhari and his government should give them a tip off. Time to work and not to trade blames

Harrasment every where Just to hunt people

This is rubbish!! Is there no human in Kogi state. This Tinubu is such heartless power drunk idiot

This is very considerate. They have costed the party and the traditional things you need to present. If you were to marry from some other places like the south west, the party which no one will cost for you will take far more than this.

The ban on the importation of two stroke engines and the likes has been in force since 2013. They were banned by Jonathan so to encourage local production

He has right to abuse women as he has abused the banking industry

Nonsense opinion molding. What was Thiefnibu when CCT called him? Lets see how the fascist executive plays out

You are a materialistic distracted person QED

Intensify your search for another Job. You are becoming a burden to his finance

If it is not tribe, what has he done to better the lives of Nigerians before now? The more he says this the more the sentiment behind his appointment resounds

He told us that subsidy is a fraud. He has started defrauding us ooo

How much did he withdraw for himself and Buhari

we were told all this during the campaign and the promise to us was that they are coming to fix it. We will not tolerate shifting of blames. these guys should reduce spending on public offices and that alone can pay off debt and get developmental projects running. NO EXCUSE

Lets be realistic here. I studied Engineering in one of the Universities that made the list but what is being done there is mostly rehearsal of theories, proof of those theories and mathematical calculations. The earlier the Engineering school integrate the classroom work to how to improve the Nigerian technological environment the better we will get. Presently we are just busy importing technology.

The man has actually paid his dues and played gloriously. HAIL THE EAGLES MAGNET!

In a poverty-stricken country like ours, it is all about money. Love is just a word used to embelish it.

Bad
as it is, it is a hard lesson to men especially politicians who go
after other peoples wives. many of whom do such with impunity.

The issue seems 2 have bn swept under d carpet. Nawaoo! No words from police, govt or a follow up by journalist.

WILLFUL DESTRUCTION OF MY HOUSE @
PLOT 11 EMEHELUAKU LAYOUT, TRANS
EKULU ENUGU BY MR NKEM OWOH
(OSUOFIA) AND HIS AGENTS
I know that you have a listening ear
and would hear the cry of an
oppressed and helpless widow. I
know that your intervention will
enable me get justice from those who
think they are stronger than me. I
...believe that my cry to you for help
will not return without getting the
proper assistance
I woke up in the morning of Monday
October 1, 2012 only to hear that a
house I am building to provide shelter
for my little children at Plot 11
Emeheluaku Layout, Trans Ekulu,
Enugu, has been destroyed by Mr
Nkem Owoh (also known as Osuofia)
and his agents.
Like thieves, they came at night to rob
me of the only possession I am saving
to be home for my children in the
future. When neighbours called me to
give me this information, I thought it
was not true but on getting to the
site, my heart broke as I saw my
labours and toils and savings and
sacrifices of several years completely
destroyed by a man who have for
sometime been persuading me to
part with the said plot of land.
My encounter with Mr Nkem Owoh
began shortly after my husband, Mr
Ben Ayogu died in December, 2004,
just months after we purchased this
plot of Land. Being a teacher, I had
saved with my husband to buy this
particular plot of land and we were
already making plans to build on it
when the cold hands of death stole
him from me, leaving me to look after
our very little children, the oldest of
whom was just five (five) years old
then.
After mourning my husband, I
discovered that there were some
missing documents from our
apartment, the most important of
which was the documents for this plot
of land. I raised the alarm then and
when nobody came forth with
information on its whereabouts, I
quickly ran to the Nigeria Police
Station at Abakpa Junction here in
Enugu to make a report. I also went to
the Ministry of Lands, where, armed
with the police extract, I was able to
obtain the Certified True Copy (CTC) of
the property.
But not long after, Mr Nkem Owoh
appeared, claiming ownership of the
land. I tried to inform him that I had
neither sold the land nor authorized
its sale to anybody but he insisted the
plot belonged to him. The matter
continued to drag between us until it
got to a point when he began to ask
that we settle. Having not sold the
land and having no intention to sell
the land, I told him there was nothing
to settle. He persuaded me with all
manner of offers, including that of
paying extra money to motivate me
to relinquish the land but I said no.
Sir, this plot of land is perhaps the
only major valuable I was able to
invest in with my husband and we did
it then because we wanted a proper
home for our children. Even now, as I
struggle to bring them up, this land
remains the only valuable property
that we have.
So when Mr Nkem Owoh felt he was
not succeeding in persuading me to
part with this land, he began to use
threats and on several occasions said
he was going to forceful take
possession of the land and vowed that
since I claimed God will fight for me,
that I had better bring down my
Creator when the chips are down.
Each time he comes to meet me, he
usually came with a retinue of
dangerous looking thugs but I was
never to be cowed into giving him the
only property I am leaving for my
children.
Because my salary was barely enough
to pay our rent, pay for the school fees
of the children and provide for their
upkeep, I felt it was proper to
construct a house no matter how
small on the land so that we can move
in and thus begin to save what we
were using to pay house rents.
Thus I began construction four years
ago (in 2008). I was slowly building
this potential home of ours because
my income was not large enough for
speedy construction. I had to even
take a loan to enable us finish and
park in this year.
Sir, this building had been practically
completed. I had roofed the house
and was about hanging the doors and
windows, having also installed the
frames when Nkem Owoh and his
agents struck, bringing the entire
structure, my four years of labour, to
ordinary rubble.
I have nowhere else to go except to
your esteemed office. I am a poor
widow. I have no other source of help
except from God and from public
spirited people like you.
When I saw the damage done to this
property of mine, I ran to the Trans
Ekulu Police Station where I was
rebuffed by an officer who, even
without investigating the matter,
concluded that Nkem Owoh is not a
trouble maker and could never have
done such evil. This officer refused my
entreaties and sent me away, saying
Police do not treat land matters. But
sir, this is not just a land matter. It is a
criminal destruction of property.
I left heart-broken. He WILLFULLY
destroyed all I labored for. He did it
because he is rich and perhaps
popular enough to act his way out of
justice.
I cry to you knowing what you have
done in the past to help helpless
people like me. I cry to you because
someone is trying to forcefully take
my property from me. I cry to you
because I trust in your willingness,
disposition and capacity to give
justice to the oppressed.
My confidence is high, knowing that
you shall help us find justice. I
therefore kindly pray that you use
your good office to cause that this
criminal destruction of my house be
handed over to another police station
or team, especially since the Trans
Ekulu Police have shown very clear
prejudice at this very onset.
My life and those of my children are
also in danger. Nkem Owoh, a man
society should look up to for good
examples had severally threatened to
deal with me for my refusal to let him
take my land. He had stated he would
deal with me. And seeing the crowd
of horrible looking thugs he keeps
company with, I feel really
threatened. A man capable of
destroying such a property has the
capacity to destroy just about
anything standing in the way of him
having his way.
Attached are the Certified True Copy
(CTC) of the property given to me by
the State Ministry of Lands; the police
extract of my report and the picture of
the building.
Thank you very much for your
anticipated speedy intervention in
this matter.
Very Truly Yours
Gloria U. Ayogu (Mrs.)

Let Atiku and co explain their role in Boko Haram first before
