Accident happens everywhere

GenBuhari:
Buhari elected to be paid only 10% of the income ex-heads of state.

N2m per month instead of the 23m per month wasteful PDP where throwing at all former presidents

He also uses his salary and other income to sponsor needy families in his hometown to educate children.

His modest home is a testament that amassing wealth is not his objective.

His wife and children flashing expensive clothes and accessories is also part of the modesty right. Why will his wife be carrying a two bedroom apartment in the name of designer bag?

vanbonattel:
Nnamdi Kanu is a watermark case, we are watching as all rules gets broken.

We are keeping the records

Dasuki's case is also another watermark. It's been hell in this zoo called Nigeria where police stops and search even your wallet, arrest you for carrying a laptop, only God will save you if you have a naija porn video in your phone, international Mastercards in your possession automatically makes you a yahoo boy. Meanwhile some people used over 270million to clear grass. God will answer our prayers soon.

Great write up. I will continue wailing until Nigeria changes this change

frtryr:
You have been brainwashed by sponsored media

Stop reading news paper you will have your senses back

Lol, there seems to be a very big conspiracy in this country and the masses are mislead by same compromised media

I don't care who is involved, they should just investigate and get our money back. BTW $10m is not small money o, I believe there's elements of truth in this but the amount seems exaggerated.

Just five cows and you are already quoting rule of law, let me remind you that there's a law in ekiti state that forbids cow from roaming in the day. Your people just wanted to try if fayose can carry out his treat to treat any disobedient fulani as a terrorist. Fayose is not Buhari o, He is Oshokomole

Friend?

Popular Warri born comedian EBI TUBOTU AKA SHAKARA
narrates his ordeal with Nigerian Police. How he was wrongly accussed of
kidnapping and was beaten, humiliated and almost killed in the presence of his parents, wife and two daughters.
And now...he is demanding for justice.

EXCERPT:

A CRY FOR JUSTICE:

#JUSTICE4SHAKARA



My name is Ebi Tubotu...but I am popularly known as -SHAKARA-



I am a warri born standup comedian/Compere, and was under the tutelage of Nigerian Ace comedian, Ali Baba.



On Friday 19th, February 2016, at about 6:00am I was with my wife and two daughters (A year & some months old & 4months old baby) in my apartment at OSUBI in Okpe local government area, Warri, Delta state, when some group of policemen (4 in numbers), who claimed they were from Lagos, came to my compound...seriously banging the gate and shooting intermitently.



I came out to know what was going on when I saw my parents and younger brother Godbless Tubotu with them.



I was asked to identify myself which I did. And immediately, they bounced on me. I was mercilessly beaten with a gun butt and humiliated like a common criminal in the presence of my wife and my two daughters.



I was almost shut by INSPECTOR HUMPHREY who led the team if not for the quick intervention of my wife who jumped in between us while carrying our babies and told him (Humphrey) that he has to shoot her first.



Unknown to me... before they came to my house, they've already stormed the house which I lived with my parents before I got married. They arrested and threatened our former neighbours. And that was how my former neighbours led them to my parents house and forcefully gained entrance that early morning during their morning devotion.



They told my parents that they have been looking for me that I am a kidnapper and an armed robber. My 70year old dad told them that he didnt give birth to a criminal, that his son is a celebrity and the leader of the squard INSPECTOR HUMPHREY almost slapped my dad.



My parents and my younger brother was bundled and thrown into their van so as to show them where I live. Even when my dad pleaded with them to release my mom because she was not properly dressed, they refused. That was how they came to my residence.



At this point, they've seized all my phones and I was on handcuff. They started releasing bullets on air again sporadically like they just caught Tom Polo in my compound.



With the handcuff, singlet and boxer...I was thrown into their van and driven to Ugborikoko police station in Bendel estate Warri Delta State, Nigeria.



With blood gushing out of every part of my body, we arrived Ugborikoko police station. And that was when I actually noticed that they arrested my former neighbours.



And then...Inspector Humphrey who led the team from Area M, Idimu police station, Lagos, called me and asked me to call out my Airtel number, which I did: 08080300000.



I noticed his countenance changed the moment he compared my Airtel number with the one he has with him which was written on Airtel letter-head paper. It was so obvious that something was amiss.



Then I saw one of the officers that raided my compound, Mr. Bode, walked to him (Inspector Humphrey) and whispered something into his ear, but he (Humphrey) shouted down at Bode, telling him that the information given to them by Airtel Nig. Ltd can not be wrong. He insisted that he will deal with me and take me to Lagos, that I am the kidnapper they are looking for.



He did keep to his word eventually but thank God for God, because if not for God, due to their reckless driving, the police van we were in was almost crushed by a Dangote trailer.



At Ore where they decided to stop and eat...still on handcuff, singlet and boxers, they brought me out of the van. While the other travelers where still wondering what must I have done to warrant I been beaten in that manner, the very useless and untrained inspector Humphrey told them that I am a kidnaper. I could recall an elderly woman asking the Inspector if he actually know who he is calling a kidnapper. That question proved the fact that most of d travelers knew me as a comedian.



Finally we got to Lagos and I was thrown into the cell after all the insult and name calling by the police officers on ground that very day at the Area M Idimu police station.



They later brought me out to take my statement. Still confuse and really don't know what to write, I introduced myself and what I do for a living, and the officer who was taking my statement interrupted and asked me to write that I am the kidnapper they have been looking for and that I used my Airtel number to call the woman's husband demanding for ransom. This angered me and led to both of us exchanging words. At this point, a lady Inspector (Bose) came in and cautioned the officer.



She took me to the head, Idimu Police Command and it took him less than 20minutes to know that I was innocent.



During the interrogation he asked me where I was on January 1st which was the day of the incident of the kidnapping. And I told him I was in Eko Hotel & Suites, that I am one of the comedians billed to perform in Ali Baba's show tagged -JANUARY 1ST-



I prompted him to call Ali Baba if he is in doubt, but he declined and said he believed me. He ordered for my release and left the station immediately.



But Inspector Humphrey insisted and threw me into the cell again and started threatening me that I will confess after he finished dealing with me.



He claimed that the husband of the kidnapped woman has my bank details and details of how much he has paid into my bank account.



It took the intervention of a lawyer, consulted by my family members to secure my bail. though he couldnt make it that night because of the serious traffic. He had to send a friend of his that is close to the police station.



And despite the fact that the police claims that bail is free, they collected a huge amount from us before the bail and also made us to sign the -BAIL IS FREE FORM-



After my bail, the friend of the lawyer that bailed me said he had other business to take care of and left.



So it was I alone in the middle of the night and in the middle of nowhere, stranded and still on singlet and boxer.



I was wandering like a madman around Anthony area of Lagos. I was fortunate to meet a shop owner that was already packing because it was almost mid-night. He was the one that helped with his phone and I was able to call my brother who left Warri to Lagos immediately they took me away because I had his number off-hand.



Luckily, the bus he boarded arrived Ojota not too long and he took a taxi and meet me up at Anthony bus stop where I was already freezing out wit cold.



I tried calling my boss Ali Baba whose number I also had off-hand because its a very easy one. But I was made to understand that he is out of the country.



My brother and I had to locate an hotel around that vicinity (SYLVERLINK HOTEL) where we passed the night and went back to Warri the following day.



It was a sad and painful experience and this is why I am demanding justice.



NOW...

MY SPECULATION ABOUT THE TWIST:



It was clear that the police mistakenly sent my number to Airtel Nig. Ltd instead of the kidnapper's number given to them. And as a result, Airtel traced my number instead of the kidnapper's number and led the police to my location. That was how the police traced my former residence in Warri.



This is the same reason the other officer, Bode was trying to whisper into Inspector Humphrey's ear, calling his attention on the error in both numbers (mine and the kidnapper's number).



It is absurd that the people who suppose to protect us is now our nightmare.



I wrote a letter of my saga to the Inspector General Of Police through my lawyer, and for 5months, there was no reply.



I have sent petition to the Public Petition Committee,

Federal House Of Representatives and it was heard on Wednesday, July 20th, 2016. The committee on Public Petition took the case first hearing on the floor in Abuja and adjourned it till October 12th 2016.



All I ask is...



#justice4shakara.



I hereby plead The Public Petition Committee to use their good office to ask The Nigeria police to render an apology first for Atleast 6 National Dailies via

The Vanguard

The Nation

The Punch
This Day
The Tribune
And The Daily Trust in which it must admit it's faults because as I speak with you my career as a standup comedian is serious at stake.



After which they have to pay for damages which includes my former neighbours.



I am Shakara and the heat is on, this police madness must stop... and it's now!!!

This man might be right because the scarcity of dollars is responsible for the price hike of all commodities. Who is actually getting the dollars the CBN has been disbursing and for what, every one is crying dollar is high but some are getting it cheap just like people going for pilgrimage. So who is getting it and for what purpose?

If this government has a hand in all this multiple vehicle stickers and levis we are made to pay almost every month, then Nigeria is doomed. Just this year alone my company that is trying to survive the hard economic policy has paid several levis and bought stickers from thug. Today here in warri we were held by some government thugs again demanding for another 25k for one more sticker. Please is this sticker from Federal government or Delta state government?

Few days ago i posted about a missing young man, here is the link https://www.nairaland.com/3245634/missing-man-benin . Today i want to thank everyone who contributed in one way or the other towards this. God bless you all. He was found around Nsukwa in Delta state well and healthy. The young man decided to go work for God without informing any family member because he was certain if he did ,his wishes may not have been granted. Thanks very much all the same

LIE CLOCK!!!...(Laffmatazz)
Stella Obasanjo died and went to heaven ... As she stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly gates, She saw a huge wall of clocks behind her...
She asked, "What are all those clocks For?" St Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks... Everyone on earth has a Lie-Clock.
Every time you lie, the hands on your clock will move." "Oh," said Stella, "whose clock is that?"
"That's Bishop Ajayi Crowther's. The hands have never moved, indicating that he never told a lie."
"Incredible," said Stella. "And whose is that one?"
St Peter responded, "That's Nnamdi Azikwe's clock. The hands have moved twice, telling us that Zik told only two lies in his entire life."
"Where's my husband, Obasanjo's clock?" asked
Stella. "Obasanjo's clock is in the Angel's office. He's using it as a ceiling fan, its rotating with high speed:
What of Lai Mohammed's?: His own clock is being upgraded to be used as a Helicopter rotor blades for its incredible speed!!!

They can go and share the money as usual then come up with half done project and still blame president for their inefficiency.

Buhari is fighting anyone that criticize him, is that how we hope to achieve anything meaningful...God why am i still in Nigeria?

I just can't believe this whole drama is not a nollywood movie

As much as I know these people are among the richest politicians in Nigeria, I am very sure someone is not telling us the whole truth, where is Saraki, Tinubu, Igbinedeon, Atiku and other top polithiefians?

How will this help me get fuel @ N86?

zenith4biz:
Lalasticlacla seun, see something.

A friend of mine called me while I'm Ina busy area, I refused to pick with the seconds that if I get home I will call her back.
Alas! That was the last opportunity and no second chance to speak with her again.

Always pick your call even if the person calling you is beside you.

People think this whole story is makeup but there is a big lesson to learn from it.

Pennsylvania:
Lol. Op I guess you're natural with kids hence her being comfortable around you. See the way she's all smiles. I guess you're the father she never had.

Yeah you are on point, I like kids so much.

pretydiva:
This is one of d disadvantages of single parenting. Feel 4 d little girl. Op accept ur fate 4 now,wit time she will realise u ain't her real dad

My fate keh, so if you as my crush visit me and discovers the situation, will you believe my explanation that I'm innocent?

MizTyna:
Exactly what I was gonna say. Op,I believe you can make your point without showing the picture of an innocent child. Something also tells me the mother might not appreciate that. I'm a mum and if someone puts up a picture of my daughter on a platform such as this,there'll be hell to pay,how much more with a thread like this. Pls remove.

Thanks I never tot in that direction.

Why is APC so desperate

No matter what APC does, Nigerians especially rivers people will not be deceived. Not after this negative change we are experiencing. God will judge them for the innocent lives they are wasting.

APC cannot and will not rule in any southern state. I said this before the governor's victory at supreme Court.

Delphi:
@op; It's neither your fault nor hers. The girl needs a 'father figure' in her life. This is one of the demerits of single-parenthood to the life of a child. Stopping her abruptly may affect her pschologically. You would have initially stopped it a long time earnestly. You need to get married, bear your own child/children so that she will vividly and clearly connote whose daddy you actually are. For now, continue to be buying biscuits.

Lols but I think stopping it now is better so that she won't grow up thinking I'm her real dad.
