FamilyRe: Why Is It That Nigerians Abroad Hardly Marry Nigerian Ladies Over There? by ojsmscom(m): 4:41am On Aug 07, 2016
The answer is obvious. Many of them there have married their oyibo wives already... So if they also marry a second wife who also resides there... Their visa benefactor will dictate easily

I bet you can't get the answer to this in just one minute though you may later get it but not in one minute as required by the time allocated


A girl went to school and the teacher asked her, "how old are you?" She replied I don't know, bt I know that I'm half my mother's age.
The teacher asked, "how old is your mother?" She said I don't know but I know that my Dad is 5 yrs older than my mother.
Teacher, "how old is your dad then?" She said I don't know but I know that if we add our ages, the answer is 10% of a thousand....
Now how old is the girl, her mum and her dadhuh
PoliticsKayode Narrates His Experience In Prisons Custody by ojsmscom(op): 9:26am On Jul 17, 2016
My 67 days in EFCC custody, Kirikiri prison — Fani-Kayode

BY BAYO AKINLOYE July 17, 2016

Former Minister of Aviation and spokesman for the Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode, has described his experience in detention as traumatic and depressing.

Fani-Kayode, who was released on Friday night, told our correspondent on Saturday that though his freedom after 67 days in government’s custody would allow him to prepare his defence for allegations levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, it would be meaningless if other people in detention are not released.

“It was quite an ordeal. It was an ordeal. But I thank God that I am free and that I have been given an opportunity to defend myself in court when the case starts – I am looking forward to that. Outside of that, the truth is that as long as others who are also political prisoners and have been falsely accused are still in (security agencies’) custody our country, then I believe that my freedom is meaningless.

“So, until every single political prisoner or every single person falsely accused by the state, by the government and the EFCC has been released; has been given the opportunity to defend himself in court; and until that happens, I don’t think any of us is free. We still have people like Sambo Dasuki, Iyiola Omisore and many others in prison or EFCC’s custody,” he told SUNDAY PUNCH.

The ex-minister also said his release would allow him to prepare for any eventuality, noting that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government is intolerant of criticisms.

He said, “You have people in EFCC custody – husbands and wives locked up for no good reasons. It is very traumatic and depressing but now, is not the time to talk; right now I am preparing my defence. I am preparing for any eventuality because I know the government is capable of doing anything to anybody at anytime, who criticises them.

“I am also preparing and praying for what lies ahead. Whatever the case, the struggle will continue and then we shall prevail. Those that seek to impose an ethnic and religious bondage and servitude on people of this nation will not succeed. And, every Nigerian, regardless of his religious faith or where he comes from, will and shall be treated equally – and that’s what we are fighting for.”

Asked if he ate food prepared for him in prison, he said, “While in prison, I only ate food that was brought to me by my wife. The prison officials were very professional. People were treated like human beings and that is to be commended. But being in EFCC’s custody is a different kettle of fish. I am glad to be free at last. I pray that this country is delivered from the sort of evil where people are just accused and locked up indefinitely and maligned by the press.”

Fani-Kayode was accused by the EFCC of receiving N840m during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election and arraigned on June 28, 2016, before Justice Hassan on 17 counts of conspiracy, unlawful retention of proceeds of theft and money laundering.

He was, however, granted bail in the sum of N250m on July 4. As part of his bail, he was ordered to deposit his passport in the custody of the court pending the outcome of the case.

Politics"I Am Pro-Biafra" – Wole Soyinka by ojsmscom(op): 6:09am On Jul 15, 2016
Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has, again, explained his support for Biafran agitators.
Soyinka said the Igbo people have been so wronged that they have no choice than to consider opting out of Nigeria.

Prof. Soyinka spoke on Al Jazeera, yesterday where he shed light on his support for Biafra agitators.

“I am very much pro- Biafra because I recognise that the Igbo have been wronged desperately.
“They have been brutalised in a way that justifies their feeling that they were not part of the nation.
“Let me also say this, Biafrans are not entirely innocent in this affair. They were not, but the unleashing of such venom, such devastation on them as a people, was sufficient to justify their decision not to be part of the nation.
“I was pro-Biafran in the sense that I felt that they needed justice.”


Soyinka denied he was a troublemaker, especially in the Biafran crisis, but added, “I grew up in certain circumstances being very conscious politically, in this very Abeokuta; my mother was involved in the politics, my aunt, Mrs. Funmilayo Ransome Kuti was a leader…
“I grew up among political arguments on issues that concern humanity and I find that basically gravitated towards recognising the basic worth of human beings.
“Something I disagree when they call me a patriot because I don’t agitate on some certain entity called a nation; I agitate on humanity.”
He criticised the removal of History and teaching of the Biafran crisis in schools.
“Officials do not want to confront their own history, especially the history in the making of which they feel uncomfortable but, if you do not confront your past, you are going to mess up your future.”
On Boko Haram and the breakup of Nigeria, he said ironically, Boko Haram might be part of the reasons Nigeria may stay together.
Soyinka said a few years ago, he would have agreed that Nigeria would break, but, now that a section of the country is in trouble, there is some kind of pulling together. He added that the conscience of many Nigerian has been awakened such that they cannot abandon that section of the country.
He urged Nigerians to recognise the plurality of Nigeria, how it came together and begin to devise and adopt a method of governance which cannot only be of massive decentralisation. “That way, we can stay together. If we continue to have a centralist government, then, Nigeria is on the brink.”

PoliticsAlleged N381bn Fraud:buhari Orders Probe Of Ihejirika,minimah,ex-minister,others by ojsmscom(op): 6:02am On Jul 15, 2016
The Presidential Committee on the Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement in the Armed Forces (2007-2015) has recommended investigation of two former Chiefs of Army Staff (COAS), Lt.-Gen Azubuike Ihejirika and Lt.-Gen. Kenneth Minimah; a former minister of state for Foreign Affairs II, Dr Nurudeen Mohammed and three former permanent secretaries in the Ministry of Defence – Mr. Bukar Goni Aji, Mr. Haruna Sanusi and Me. E.O, Oyemomi for corrupt practices.
They were indicted by the committee set up to investigate procurement of arms to fight insurgency in the North East.
The committee, in its report, said N381 billion was expended without any procurement to show for the expensiture.
Daily Sun exclusively reported last week that a second interim report was submitted to the president last Monday.
The third interim report was submitted yesterday.
In the Air Vice Marshall Jon Ode (retd) committee report, it was discovered that a contract worth N169,916,849.77 for the procurement of 53 Armoured Vehicles Spare Parts, which had 90 days completion time, is yet to be completed, five years after.
Besides, in its investigation, the committee said it discovered that the total amount spent for procurement and operations between 2007-2015 were N185,843,052,564.30 and $685,349,692.49.
The committee also said in its report that most of the procurement lacked due process.
On the heels of the committee’s recommendation, President Muhammadu Buhari has approved further investigation of those involved, after the committee found a number of irregularities in the contract awards.
Among those to be investigated are 18 serving and retired military personnel, 12 serving and retired public officials and 24 Chief Executive Officers of companies (CEOs) involved in the procurement.
All were either accounting officers or played key roles in the Nigerian Army procurement activities during the period under review.
Those listed, according to the committee, for further investigation include Ihejirika, and Minimah; Mohammed and three former permanent secretaries in the Ministry of Defence – Mr. Bukar Goni Aji, Mr. Haruna Sanusi and Me. E.O, Oyemomi.
Also, CEOs to be investigated include Col. Olu Bamgbose (retd) of Bamverde Ltd; Mr. Amity Sade of Doiyatec Comms Ltd and DYI Global Services and Mr. Edward Churchill of Westgate Global Trust Ltd.
The committee found that the army contracts awarded by the Ministry of Defence for the period under review were often awarded without “significant input from end-user (Nigerian Army) and to vendors who lacked the necessary technical competence.”
‘’As an example, three contracts, with a total value of N5,940,000,000.00 were awarded to DYI Global Services Ltd and Doiyatec Comms Nig. Ltd (owned by the same individuals) for the procurement of military hardware including 20 units of KM-38 Twin Hull Boats and 6 Units of 4X4 Ambulances fitted with radios.
The committee found that the two companies collected N5,103,500,000.00, representing 86% of the total value of the 3 contracts worth N5,940,000,000.00, but only performed to the tune of N2,992,183,705.31,’’ the report said.
With respect to contracts awarded directly by the Army, the committee found that many of the contracts were characterised by ‘’lack of due process, in breach of extant procurement regulations and tainted by corrupt practices.
‘’In this regard, a review of the procurement carried out by Chok Ventures Ltd and Integrated Equipment Services Ltd established that between March 2011 and December 2013, the two companies exclusively procured various types of Toyota and Mitsubishi vehicles worth over N3,000,000,000.0 for the army without any competitive bidding.
“Though the committee found no credible evidence of delivery of the vehicles, the vendors were fully paid based on job completion certificate authenticated by the then Chief of Logistics.
Also, analysis of the various bank accounts of the two companies showed transfers to individuals related to then Chief of Army Staff,’’ the report indicated.
Meanwhile, Daily Sun gathered yesterday night that Ihejirika and Minimah may have been placed under tight security watch.
A security source told Daily Sun last night that, “with the report finally out, the two ex-COAS may be picked up by security agencies any moment from now.
“From now on, there will be a restriction of their movement.
“What this means is that they will no longer enjoy freedom of movement as the relevant security agencies have been directed to lay surveillance on them, to ensure they don’t travel out of the country or go out of the country without authorisation.”
Another source further added that, “they would be made the face the law.”

We are a group of young Niger Deltans who have support from other parts of Nigeria, namely Northern, Western and Eastern part ofthe Country.We have watched with keeninterest, the way and manner in which the president Muhammadu Buhari Led APC government runs the affairsof this country, and we not pleased with the way thingsare going. For instance, the so-called anti-corruption fight is directed towards perceived enemies of the government, and those thatare sympathetic to former President Goodluck Jonathan.We wonder why this persecution, despite the peaceful manner Jonathan hand over government to All Progressive Congress APC. When they did not even the win the 2015 election because he was after lives of Nigerians as he saw that the APC is blood tasty.So far the only two governorship elections that were conducted under this government were and still remain the most controversial elections in the history of this nation.The 2016 budget that was presented to the national assembly is full of fraud, yet nobody has owned up to the frauds spotted in the budget by Nigerians and the national assembly.The president has not deem it fit to expose and prosecute those that are behind these frauds and punish them accordingly, because, because he is neck dip in these frauds. What kind of anti-corrupt fight is this?This is the time Nigerians need to say the truth and stand by it. There must be arevolution to deliver this country from the hands of this wicked administration now. Imagine all the appointees to the president are all his relations eg DSS, Customs, INEC, and so on. We can no longer continue like this. There is a serious and biting hunger in the land. So many persons have lost their jobs under this Buhari led administration, while his wife and children are doing party everyday in Aso Rock Villa.We cannot continue like this. Most APC leaders and other big men are pretending as if all is well but all is not well with them.Infact, they are dying in silent. Nigerians must speak up against this Military in Democracy government. Things must be done in the right way.Therefore, we have chosen to start this revolution to free country from these vampires called APC government. We are herebygiving president Buhari two weeks ultimatum to do the following things urgently.1.Immediate implementation of the report of the 2014 National Conference. Otherwise, this country will break-up forcefully.2.President Buhari, the DS SSS and Timipre Sylva should apologize to the people of the Niger Delta region and family of Late Chief DSP Alamieyesegha for killing him with intimidation and harassment because of his party affiliation.3.The ownership of oil blocks must reflect 60% for the oil producing people and 40% for the non-oil producing people.4.The only Nigerian Maritime University sited in the most appropriate and befitting place Okerenkoko must startthe 2015/2016 academic session immediately.5.The minister of transportation, Mr Rotimi Amechi shouldapologize to the Ijaws and the entire Niger Delta people for his careless and reckless statement about the siting of the University.6.The Ogoniland and indeed ll oil polluted lands in the Niger Delta must be cleanedup and compensation be paid to all oil producing communities.7.Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the Leader of IPOB must be released unconditionally as the court said.8.The Niger Delta Amnesty programme must be well funded and let it continue to run effectively.9.All APC members that are indicted in any corruption related cases should be madeto face trial like the PDP members. Otherwise Buhari should shamefully forget about this nonsense anti-corruption fight.10.All oil multi-nationalsand foreign investorsshould observe this ultimatum, as their business interest in the country must be first target.11.A word is enough for the wise.In addition to tell the Nigeria government that wemean business at as 10:55pm on Saturday the Forcados terminal crude oilexport pipeline was blown up by Niger Delta Avengers.
PoliticsBakassi Regroup In Igboland To Checkmate The Fulani Herdsmen Excesses by ojsmscom(op): 8:24pm On May 04, 2016
The unrestrained invasion of communities
and massacre of innocent citizens by the
Fulani herdsmen across the country is now
causing provocation for bloody uprising
from the South East since the incident in
Enugu State, according to National Daily
Nigeria.
Prominent Igbo leaders, at their meeting at
the weekend, decided on urgent need for
the Igbo nation to organize the people for
self-defence against the invasion and
killing of Igbo indigenes by the Fulani
herdsmen.
The dreaded Bakassi Boys, a violent
vigilante group mobilized to terminate the
troubling armed robbery menace in the
south east some years ago, were revealed
to have started regrouping to strengthen
other vigilante groups to provide security
for local communities and towns in the
south east.
Former leaders of the group who are still
alive have been summoned to facilitate the
regrouping of the Bakassi Boys and also
handle the recruitment of new members.
A source from the long-disbanded vigilante
group revealed that their assignment is
mainly to contain the Fulani mafia and
ensure that they no longer cause
destruction in any part of Igbo land. He
added that they are fully empowered to
respond speedily to attack on any part of
Igbo land by the Fulani mafia, as he called
them.
“The action has become necessary because
it appears the Federal Government is not
ready to protect our people being attacked
by the Fulani mafia. This Fulani and farmers
clash has been happening in the north
central and we thought it is a northern
problem,” he said.
“Now, they have moved to the south to
trouble our peace loving people. They
kidnapped Chief Olu Falae in Yoruba land,
they are now invading Igbo land, yet the
Federal Government is not doing anything to
protect our people.”
Moreover, the Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of
Biafra (MASSOB) and the Independent
People of Biafra (IPOB) have already
issued a warning, urging the Federal
Government to intervene and stop the
Fulani herdsmen from further killings in the
south east.
Some leaders of the two liberation struggle
groups disclosed that both MASSOB and
IPOB may recourse to arms struggle to
