Nairaland / General / Why I Slept With My 11-year-old Daughter by oludashmi(f): 2:19am On Feb 11, 2015
A 45-year-old father, Abubakar Magaji, a resident of Liman Kagum in Bauchi local government, has confessed his reasons for having carnal knowledge of his 11-year-old daughter.

“I engaged in the ugly act because I had a misunderstanding with my wife and she left me. I am ashamed of my self because it was temptation that led me to do it.

“I divorced her mother and married another wife but unfortunately my wife also left me a month ago so I needed a woman to be with; so that was why I did it. I also have a problem with my sexual libido. It is so terrible that I desire any woman I see, but what stops me from approaching them is that people respect me as a married man. So I felt the only way I could relieve my sexual tension was to sleep with my daughter, since she is so young and had no knowledge about sex.

“It was after I defiled her and I was arrested by the police that I understood the gravity of my offence. I can’t imagine that I did this to my own daughter. I regret my actions and I pray that God will forgive me.” he said.

At his residence, a neighbour who couldn’t believe the allegation against Abubakar said, “I was shocked when I discovered that Mallam Abubakar who I had a lot of respect for will stoop that low and sleep with an 11-year-old child that happens to be his daughter.

“This is the highest level of abomination and Islam is against such an act. No matter the excuse, a man does not have the right to defile a girl outside the confines of marriage. This is unacceptable and he deserves to be punished by the law”.

Reacting to the development, the state Commissioner of Police, Lawal, Shehu expressed worry over the increasing rate of rape cases in the state and vowed that all rape suspects will be charged to court and prosecuted.

He said, “Since January, we have arrested over 10 suspected rapists, only this week we recorded over five cases. It is worrisome that among the suspects arrested is a 45-year-old man who raped his 11-year-old daughter and two aged men who are between 45 to 54 years who raped teenage girls of between two years and four years.

Politics / Jega Denies Going On Terminal Leave by oludashmi(f): 1:11am On Feb 11, 2015
Contrary to reports that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru, would be going on leave, he has denied that such is not happening.

Chief Press Secretary to Jega, Mr. Kayode Idowu, said his boss is not embarking on any terminal leave but busy preparing for the elections. He said the postponement of the election was enable the commission better prepare for the election.

In another interview, the minority leader of the House of Representatives, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, said Jega could not be asked to go on a terminal leave because he was not a civil servant.

He said, “I do not consider the Chairman of INEC as a civil servant subject to civil service rules the same way I, as a member of the House of Representatives, is not a civil servant. There is a difference between a civil servant and a public servant or officer. Jega falls under the latter.”

Politics / Obasanjo Supports Buhari, Warns Against Coup by oludashmi(f): 12:29am On Feb 11, 2015
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has finally declared his supports to the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Speaking at the at the launch of his controversial autobiography titled, ‘My Watch’, in Nairobi, Kenya, Obasanjo said Buhari, who ruled the country between December 1983 and August 1985 is better candidate who understands the system of Nigeria.

Obasanjo said he is confident that Buhari would tackle corruption, insecurity and restore themilitary morale which is needed in the fight against terrorism.

Reacting to the postponement of the elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for security reasons and a better distribution of Permanent Voter Cards, Obasanjo said he hoped the Federal Government was being truthful.

He urged Jonathan to put the interest of the nation ahead of his own ambition and warned that the manipulation of the electoral process could lead to a coup d’etat, adding that the May 29 handover date remained sacrosanct.

He said, “The circumstances he (Buhari) will be working under if he wins the elections are different from the one he worked under before, where he was both the executive and the legislature – he knows that. He is smart enough. He is educated enough. He’s experienced enough. Why shouldn’t I support him?

“It is a question of leadership – political and military. I think you need to ask Jonathan how he let the army go to this extent. Many things went wrong: recruitment went wrong; training went wrong; morale went down; motivation was not there; corruption was deeply ingrained; andwelfare was bad.

“I sincerely hope that the President is not going for broke and saying ‘look dammit, it’s either I have it or nobody has it’. I hope that we will not have a coup. I hope we can avoid it.”

Politics / See How Obanikoro, Fayose, Chris Uba, Momoh Rigged Ekiti Election by oludashmi(f): 4:52am On Feb 06, 2015
SaharaReporters has received unimpeachable documents and audio recordings providing substantial evidence that major Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders planned and successfully rigged the gubernatorial elections in Ekiti State, and plotted a similar scenario in Osun in 2014.

The audio recordings and affidavit were provided by Sagir Koli, a Captain in the 32nd Artillery Brigade stationed in Ekiti State, who has since fled the country for fear of retaliation. Capt. Koli recorded the conversation on 20th June 2014 when he was asked to accompany his Commanding Officer, Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, to the meeting. The venue was held at Spotless Hotel in Ado-Ekiti.

The audio recordings depict the meeting as being attended by the eventual “winner” of the election, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti; Senator Iyiola Omisore; a man identified as Honorable Abdulkareem; the Minister for Police Affairs Caleb Olubolade; and Senator Musiliu Obanikoro who was at the time the Minister of State for Defence. Mr. Chris Uba came to Ekiti with huge stash cash and soldiers from the East to carry out the assignment.

The 37-minute recording details the conversation between these men as they bribed Brigadier General Momoh with a promotion for his assistance in carrying out election fraud in Ekiti. In it, Obanikoro is clearly heard informing the group of men, “[I] am not here for a tea party, am on special assignment by the President.”

SaharaReporters further received credible intelligence that President Goodluck Jonathan had instructed the Chief of Defense Staff, Alex Badeh, to use the army in arresting and intimidating opposition politicians before and during the election. The audio recording provides exact details of the plot, with the collaborators almost degenerating into physical combat.

Celebrities / Bobbi Kristina: It’s A Matter Of When The Family Wants To Let Go by oludashmi(f): 5:48am On Feb 05, 2015
Things aren’t looking good for Bobbi Kristina Brown.

“It’s now a matter of when the family wants to let go and accept that she’s pretty much not going to make it,” a source closely connected to the situation told FOX411, adding that doctors have expressed that there is little they can do. “They’ve left it up to the family as to how long they want to keep her alive.”

Earlier this week, reports emerged that the situation involving the daughter of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was particularly weak and her brain function was “alarming low” after being placed in a medically-induced coma.

However, we’re told that Bobby Brown is remaining hopeful and rallying others to stay uplifted – refusing to acknowledge the worst-case scenario.

Christopher Brown of Brown & Rosen LLC, legal counsel for Bobby Brown, told FOX411 late Tuesday that they are currently investigating the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina, adding that contrary to media reports, the young performer has never been married to Nick Gordon.

“We continue to request privacy in this matter. Please allow for our family to deal with this matter and give Bobbi Kristina the love and support she needs at this time,” Bobby Brown added in a statement.

Nairaland / General / Two Brothers, Three Others Shot Dead As Politician Shared Gifts by oludashmi(f): 2:27am On Feb 05, 2015
Two brothers named Abeeb and Idris and three others, met their untimely death as they were shot dead by some thugs while scrabbling for gifts shared by a Senatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the Ajegunle area of Lagos.

It was gathered that when the politician began to share gifts during his campaign, two factions of hoodlums felt sidelined and began shooting sporadically at each other in the midst of the crowd.

Abeeb, the elder of brothers from same parent, was shot twice in the belly and died instantly, while Idris, his younger brother, was initially rushed to a private hospital in the area before he died.

A police source confirmed the incidence saying “Two dead bodies from the rally were brought to the station by evening. Later, a well known politician showed up to arrange how they would be buried. This morning, we have gone to the Cemetery Market, Ajegunle, to pick up another corpse.”

A shop owner, who gave her name as Ojedokun, said the thugs looted her goods and shot continually, during which stray bullets injured several passersby.

She said, “Trouble started when the aspirant began to share out gifts to supporters. He gave out mobile phones, pressing irons, among other things. As people scrambled for those gifts, trouble began.

“The thugs brought out guns and began to shoot to scare away people. They began to smash bottles on the ground and attack one another. Even the policemen, who accompanied the rally, fled for their lives. Stray bullets hit people. We later heard that about six people were shot dead.”

Another resident said, “The two brothers, who were shot dead, are being buried as I speak to you. There is no one in their house as they have gone away. The corpse that we saw at the Cemetery Market was a man hacked to death, but the police have taken him away.”

Politics / I’m Silent On National Issues Until After Elections – Obasanjo by oludashmi(f): 1:05am On Feb 05, 2015
A former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has said he will henceforth maintain silence on the state of the nation until after the forthcoming general elections.

He said this on Wednesday while addressing traditional rulers from Egbaland who were attending a seminar organised by a non-governmental organisation, The Village Network Empowerment Initiative. The seminar held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta.

The former president, who had in recent times criticised President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, said it was unfortunate that some people could misconstrue his good intention for the country.

Hence, he said he had chosen to keep mum until after the elections.

Obasanjo, who also flayed the situation in which teachers in some states were being owed salaries for upward of six months, said Nigerians had an opportunity from February 14 to play their own part in enthroning leaders of their choice.

He said, “Where we are now, I have spoken. I have used body language and whoever still does not understand all I have been saying, it would take such a person a long time to understand.

“It is something that is very clear for us all to see. Some people came to visit me from Benue State three days ago and told me teachers in that state had not been paid for six months.

“There are states where teachers have not been paid for four months, three months and two months. That is not good at all. It’s only God that can help us to overcome all these problems.

“All I know is that God has done His own part and it’s now left for us as human beings to do our own bit. Do we, as Nigerians, say that God has not been magnanimous enough to us?

“Is it human or natural resources that we do not have? We are blessed with a lot of fertile land. Shakespeare says the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves that we are underlings.

“God has done his own part and it’s now left for us as human beings to play our own part. That our own part starts from the 14th and it’s now left to you and me. I won’t say more than that. I’ve said I won’t say anything anymore until after the elections.

“You’ll hear from me after the elections. But I’ve said it verbally and through body language and how you understand it all is now left to you. But whatever you still don’t understand about all of these, I will put it in prayers that God should enable you to clearly understand it all better.

“But I won’t say more than this until after the election.”

Delivering a lecture to the traditional rulers on “Waste to Wealth, Health, Biogas productions as an alternative source of energy for sustainable rural development,” the Director of the Zoo Park of the Federal University of Agriculture, Prof. Moses Oyatogun, enumerated the uses of different waste for energy production.

He advised them to take advantage of all manner of waste in their environment.

The initiator of the Village Network Empowerment Initiative Network, Oba Olufemi Ogunleye, said he organised the seminar to enable the traditional rulers to acquire knowledge and exposure towards the development of their communities.

Politics / Jonathan, Council Of States To Discuss Poll Shift On Thursday by oludashmi(f): 12:20am On Feb 04, 2015
In the meeting which shall hold on Thursday, the Council of States convened by President Goodluck Jonathan shall discuss among other things, the possibility of poll shift.

Though, INEC had announced its stance against postponing the election, some leaders feel the poll should be postponed to enable INEC distribute more voter cards to the public.

The council consists of the President, the Vice-President, all former Presidents or ex-Heads of State, all former Chief Justices of Nigeria, the President of the Senate, all state governors and the Attorney-General of the Federation.

A Presidential official in Abuja disclosed to Punch that, “The truth of the matter is that if urgent step is not taken, Prof. Jega may end up ridiculing this country. Available information shows that the commission is not set for this election contrary to Jega’s claim.

“We learnt he actually summoned a meeting recently with a view to postponing the election but he is scared of the opposition who have been kicking against such. This Thursday (tomorrow) meeting will definitely review INEC’s preparations and take a stand.”

Another Presidency source said Jonathan might use the opportunity provided by the meeting to garner support for the postponement of the polls.

“The Presidency is not resting on its oars concerning the plan to shift the elections. It is already in talks with some members of the council.

“If the plan fails, we would opt for another plan, which is to return to the drawing board; plan a new strategy on how to deal with our opponents.” the source added.

Nairaland / General / Friendly Ways To Say No To Being A Bridesmaid by oludashmi(f): 9:57pm On Feb 03, 2015
You love your friend and adore her fiancé. In short, you’ve waited for her D-day to come but now that the day is fixed, you develop a cold feet. Why? It’s because she requested that you be on her list of bridesmaid.

Wedding events require a lot of energy, mental work and of course finance. And your shiver may be due to the fact you are not familiar with her other friends, you are having a hectic moment and plans, you are not financially ready for such at the moment or ….

Whatever your reason may be, do not say ‘yes’ unless you are very sure. So, to say ‘no’ without denting the friendly knot, check out these tips below…

1.Don’t give an immediate yes. When she ask you, tell her you will think about it and get back in few days. Make you you get back to her within a week. Do not delay your response till day is around the corner. A further delayed answer is presumed as a ‘yes’ and a ‘no’ days to the wedding can be very disappointing.

2. Don’t dribble in your answer. You don’t have to sound as if you are lieing or hiding something from her. Be straight. Tell her you feel honoured to grace such a list but your work schedule may not permit much time devotion required of a bridesmaid. Tell her you can’t afford the expenses for now.

3. Show your support in other ways. Tell her you will prefer to skip the title but maintain your expectations. This means you would be involved in other chosen ways by her.

Sports / Read Wenger’s Transcript After Arsenal’s 5-0 Win Against Aston Villa by oludashmi(f): 6:51am On Feb 02, 2015
Arsène Wenger faced the media after Arsenal’s 5-0 win against Aston Villa at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. You can read a transcript of the press conference below:

on the win…
We scored goals and didn’t concede. Our offensive game was good even though I believe we had some weaker periods in the game when Aston Villa were in possession. We always looked dangerous when we got [in between] their lines and defensively we were sound as well. Overall it’s a positive day for us. I feel a bit for Villa because they gave a lot and fought very hard. Maybe it will be difficult for them but they were caught in the last 20 minutes because they were tired. The second goal was a blow for them but overall they did fight.

on hitting form at the right time…
I would say yes, you are right. That shows as well that we have maybe found a better consistency. That will be very important until the end [of the season]. Let’s show that we can win more and it shows you as well that when the confidence level is higher and when everybody’s back defensively, it makes a difference. Defensive stability is vital – when you don’t have that, you suffer.

on whether Alexis was close to playing at all…
He was not very close today. I’m pleased that many players scored goals and I’m also pleased that we scored goals that were not only sheer power. We were placing the ball and that shows that you do not always need to hit the ball like mad to score a goal. Mesut Ozil showed that, Hector Bellerin showed that. These kinds of goals are more down to technique than power.

on Mesut Ozil’s performance…
It’s always, ‘where does he play? On the left, in the middle?’. I think he still lacks a little bit of competitive edge on sharpness but the quality of his game is exceptional and he’s getting back now. He worked very, very hard physically and he’s now ready to play again.

Politics / Jonathan Admits He Has Done Nothing In Bayelsa, Rivers by oludashmi(f): 1:56am On Jan 29, 2015
President Jonathan has admitted criticisms by the Rivers state Governor, Amaechi, that he has done nothing for the Bayelsa, Rivers state and the South South region of the country.

Jonathan at the presidential rally of the Peoples Democratic Party at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Igwuruta-Ali, Ikwerre Local Government of Rivers State, said Amaechi was right in his statement but pledged to give his best to Bayelsa and Rivers state if elected in the coming elections.

He said the fact that he has not allocated more development to his people, is an indication that he is transparent and meant well for the country.

“What I want to tell you and the rest of the country is that the director-general of the APC presidential campaign organisation, when he was in Yenagoa and when he was in Port Harcourt, mentioned clearly that the President had done nothing for the two states.

“Don’t worry. It is good news because people are saying that I concentrated development in the South-South. Bayelsa State was part of Rivers State. Then, if I don’t concentrate development in this state, that means there has not been development in Rivers and Bayelsa states.

“The DG (Amaechi) is telling Nigerians that I have not done this. That means that I am a transparent person. I did not allocate positions to my people. The DG would have been the very first person to expose me to the rest of the world; not just Nigeria. He would have taken me to America, to South Africa, to France, to UK, but that shows clearly that we mean well for this country.

“In our development, every part of Nigeria must be carried along. You will agree with me that when we looked at the university education, and we insisted that look, the Federal Government must make sure that all Nigerian youths must have opportunity for university education.

“We did not divide North or South; we made sure that all the states that had no federal university got a federal university. I am not going to comment on development in Rivers State and Bayelsa states. I can reassure you that just work with us; vote for us on February 14, for me and Sambo and on February 28, for Wike and Ipalibo. Since we have been challenged that we have not done anything, we will do something.” Jonathan stated.

Nairaland / General / Photo: 15-year-old Oluebube Refuses To Report Her Assault To Police by oludashmi(f): 1:48am On Jan 21, 2015
15-year-old girl, Oluebube Amadi, has refused to report her guardian who assaulted her severely, Mrs. Ebere Ugochukwu, to the police despite being advised by sympathizers on the street.

A resident of the environment, Rukayat, saw Amadi, a primary 6 pupil who lives in Ejigbo, Lagos, writhing in pain with brutal marks on her body and advised her to report the case to the police but she refused and preferred to keep it secret.

When the case finally got the knowledge of the police, Amadi said Ugochukwu flogged her and added pepper to the injuries on January 11 because she sent one of her daughters on errand.

At the police station, Ugochukwu justified her actions by saying the girl masturbates and steals and the treatment given to her was right.

“She touches her private parts with her fingers and she has started doing same to my daughters. I was really annoyed. When I asked her where she learnt it, she said she used to do it in the village. The beating I gave her was the highest since she has been living with me. I tied her hands and legs. Besides, she is used to stealing. She steals my money and items from school.

“I brought her from Enugu in 2012 to look after my children because I used to lock them up whenever I was going out. My mother got her for me from her parents, who live beside our house.” Ugochukwu said.

When asked to confirm what Ugochukwu said, Amadi said, “She usually flogs me. I steal and do bombom (masturbate), but I did not steal that day. She beat me for sending her daughter to bring me soap to wash plates.”


When asked in the presence of Ugochukwu, if Ugochukwu sprinkled pepper on the injuries on her back, she said, “She will beat me if I tell you.”

Ugochukwu’s husband Emeka, a vehicle inspection officer, said, “The items she stole from school are still with her. I told her to return them. I will take her back to her parents.”

A neighbour to the woman, who craved anonymity, said beating has become “a hobby” for the girl.

“That is how she beats her. Everybody has complained, including the landlady to no avail. We even told her to take her back to the village if she can’t cope with her. Now, nobody bothers to intervene whenever the girl is being flogged again.”

“He took me to his house around Railway Line where he raped me. I was there from 3pm till around 7pm. I started bleeding from his house and when I got home the blood did not stop. But I kept it secret until Saturday when people saw it.”

The victim’s mother, Taibat narrated how she found out.

Politics / I’m Fit, I Was Not Flown Abroad – Buhari by oludashmi(f): 1:25am On Jan 19, 2015
The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari, has denied claims that he is terminally ill and has been flown abroad for treatment.



The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari, has denied claims that he is terminally ill and has been flown abroad for treatment.

He said the reports of his ailment is baseless and untrue and are shows of desperation from the PDP members.

“There were reports that I was to jet out for medical check-up yesterday (Saturday) but here I am. I was in Nassarawa and Benue states yesterday (Saturday) and on Monday, I will be in two states.

“On Tuesday, I will be in two more states. I sincerely don’t know how they got the impression that I was sick. I had a cold but it did not stop me from going through my schedule.

“How old are you, 50 years?” He asked a reporter. “I can tell you that if we go to the field, you will not stay as long as I would.”

When asked about the PTF investigation, he said, “That one has been cleared. There was no fraud in the PTF. Gen. Obasanjo recently answered that question; he confirmed that there was an investigation and the report was brought to him and there was nothing on the ground as far as my management and chairmanship of the PTF were concerned. The person who did the investigation as President cleared me.”

He was also asked about his educational background and allegations surrounding it.

He said, “I have contested three times under the same rules set by INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) where there is a basic educational qualification you must have.

“I was allowed to contest all these elections because my certificate was in order and there were individuals that wrote to the United States War College and the college answered them and they were published in the newspapers.

“So, I really don’t understand this desperation or misinformation that is being passed around. They will do nobody any good because our minds are being taken away from the serious issues of corruption and incompetence by the PDP.”

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. General Muhammadu Buhari has denied media reports that he was terminally ill and was preparing to go abroad for medical attention. Buhari spoke to reporters at the Rivers State Governors’ Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja, on Sunday. Some Nigerian newspapers and on-line publications (The Punch not inclusive), in their Sunday editions; reported that the former military ruler was terminally ill and has been flown out of the country for medical attention.

He said the reports were orchestrated by desperate individuals seeking to use it to gain undue political advantage. The APC candidate also used the occasion to debunk allegations that his tenure at the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund was riddled with corruption.

According to him, his tenure at the PTF was thoroughly investigated and the report presented to the then President Olusegun Obasanjo who recently confirmed it.

Buhari said,“(a national daily) reported that I was to jet out for medical checkup yesterday but here I am. I was at Nasarawa and Benue states yesterday; tomorrow I am going to be in two states. “The day after tomorrow, in two more states. I am doing two states per day. How they got the impression that I was sick I do not know. Although I got cold and that did not stop me from going through my schedule.”

Commenting on medical documents purportedly confirming his alleged poor state of health, Buhari said, “I don’t know of this desperation. “The issue we are telling Nigerians is that of corruption in this country for the last16 years the PDP has literally destroyed this country. “This is the issue and what has my health got to do with that one, have I been sick on daily basis? And (that) document has been put on paper, on tweeter that I am sick and the ABU (Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital) said they are forged documents. This desperation is beyond my understanding.”

Business / Nigerian Banks Deactivate ATM Cards In US, Ch by oludashmi(f): 12:56am On Jan 19, 2015
A number of Nigerian banks have taken necessary steps to deactivate ATM cards of customers from being active for usage in the United States of America, China and a few other countries.

This action was unconnected to the increased amount the banks were refunding customers who had lost money in payment cards related frauds.

It was gathered that some banks still use the magnetic stripe, instead of the chip and PIN for payment in the US and China.

Another reason for this decision was because some fraudsters use cloned Nigerian ATM cards to make transactions in the USA and China.

It is advised that customers who experience this, should speak with their banks when traveling abroad so that their so that their ATM cards would be activated to work overseas.

Politics / FG Reduces Petrol Price To N87 Per Litre by oludashmi(f): 12:09am On Jan 19, 2015
The Federal Government of Nigeria has reduced the price of petrol to N87 per litre. It claimed the reduction is in accordance with the sudden drop in the prices of crude oil in the international market.

The Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, made this announcement while briefing State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

She ordered the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency and the Directorate of Petroleum Resources to ensure an immediate effect in the change across the nation.

She said, “As you may be aware, there has been a lot of volatility in the price of petroleum products, particularly crude oil, over the last few months. Invariably, this has meant that the price of the product in Nigeria has also been greatly impacted.

“It is as a result of this, under the approval and directive of Mr. President and in line with Section 6 Clause 1 of the Petroleum Act, that it is my responsibility as the minister of Petroleum to announce that there will be a reduction in the pump price of petrol (Premium Motor Spirit) by N10.

“Therefore, the reduction will be from N97 per litre to N87 per litre effective as from midnight, Sunday January 18, 2015.

“In line with this, I have directed the Petroleum Product Pricing Regulatory Agency and the Directorate of Petroleum Resources to ensure that there is strict adherence to this new pricing regime as soon as it takes effect from midnight Sunday, January 18, 2015.

“I do hope the entire country will benefit immensely from this reduction in the pump price of petrol.”

Nairaland / General / Lekan Obesere: The Rape Allegation Against My Dad Is Untrue by oludashmi(f): 10:00am On Jan 17, 2015
Lekan Akande, son of the fuji icon, Abass Akande Obesere, spoke with Punch during an interview about his musical and personal plans.

The Dublin based young man who claims to be doing great in the musical industry of Dublin, unfolds his plans to relocate to Nigeria where he would unveil his record label.

Lekan said his parents welcome his decision to join the music sector, though, he would be doing something completely different from his father’s genre.

Can you tell us a bit about your educational background?
I am presently studying online marketing in Griffith College, Dublin and I am in my second year. My father really values education and he insists that we all go to school. My father wants me to acquire basic education even if I want to venture into entertainment and he is pleased with my academic level.

How did you feel when you heard your father raped a lady?
I did not believe the story. My whole family did not believe it and we were solidly behind my father. It did not affect our family. I know my father well and I know that he does not womanise. And then again, he has been vindicated by the police. Even before that, we knew that he was innocent. I understand the entertainment industry and know that such things are bound to happen because there would be detractors trying to tarnish his image. The industry is filled with blackmailers that are out to ruin people’s reputation. My relationship with my father has not changed. I envy the feat he has attained in his career and I hope to surpass him.

Politics / Vote Out Jonathan, He Is Self-Centred – Timipre Sylva by oludashmi(f): 5:20am On Jan 14, 2015
From FEMI FOLARANMI, Yenagoa

Former Bayelsa State governor, Chief Timipre Sylva, has opened up on why he is backing General Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Sylva, who was speaking in an interactive session with Bayelsans monitored on a radio station, Royal FM based in Yenagoa, said he was working for Buhari in 2015 because Jonathan had failed the Niger Delta people.

While noting that he had disowned Jonathan as his brother, he pointed out that the Jonathan Presidency had dashed the hopes of the Niger Delta people.

He said the decision to support General Buhari was based on convictions and the need for change in the polity.

Sylva stated that he was ready to work for his newly found political friends in the APC than to work for President Jonathan who plotted his downfall from office.

His words: “What has Bayelsa gained from the Presidency? Where is the federal project in the state that is significant? I don’t see any. Not even electricity is available in Otuoke. And you have the Presidency. If I have somebody else that is not my brother but a friend with my interest at heart, it is better. Sometimes, a good friend is better than a bad brother. If a good friend can come and give us electricity and good jobs, I will go for that good friend rather than go for that bad brother. Look at Bayelsa. Look at Niger Delta.

“Look at the East-West Road under a brother. Why hasn’t the road been fixed under a brother? Why is the Brass LNG not working under a brother because we know where the project was under Obasanjo? Why is it that all they promised us under Amnesty has not been fulfilled? You remember they promised us a new city. Where are those small cities under our brother? Is there any serious institution established here to empower our youths to give them skills? Where is the institution built in Bayelsa. Nothing has been done. What has been done is that their cronies have bought some private jets. Is that what Bayelsa is about? Is that what Niger Delta Presidency is about? We all fought for this power but certain people have hijacked it.”

He broke his silence on what caused the political feud between him and President Jonathan leading to his being barred from contesting the PDP governorship primaries.

According to him his refusal to complete the controversial Tower Hotel in the state led Jonathan to move against him.

Sylva, who declared that the project was a waste, alleged that his refusal to do President Jonathan’s bidding on the project cost him his job as governor.

He said he could not understand why billions of naira would be spent on the hotel project which would not benefit Bayelsans.

Nairaland / General / Jonathan, Buhari Will Lose 2015 Election – Enugu Pastor by oludashmi(f): 3:21am On Jan 14, 2015
Prophet Anthony Nwoko, an Enugu based cleric, has shocked everyone with his latest prophecy that neither President Jonathan nor Maj. General Buhari, would win the coming 2015 elections.

The 64 years old prophet who has neither married nor given birth said his prophesies should not be taken with a pinch of salt as he had prophesied in the past and they all came to pass.

It would be recalled that he had in 1993 prophesied the end of the military regime of former head of state, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida(rtd), in 1998, he also prophesied that late military ruler, Gen. Sani Abacha, would leave governance of Nigeria in a mysterious way.

When asked what would be our fate since the two leading presidential candidates would not be president after February elections, he said he sees the glory come out of the South East.

“I had told IBB in 1993 to leave office and it happened and in 1998, I prophesied that Abacha would leave office mysteriously, and you saw what happened.

“In 2010, I told Nigerians that they should not expect much or any miracle from Jonathan. Now, in this coming election, Jonathan will only serve as John the Baptist and Buhari has not got any heavenly crown to rule and he will not rule this country because he hasn’t got that crown.

“Don’t take my prophesies for granted because I had also told Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar not to make Obasanjo president and I had also warned Gen. Obasanjo not to make late former President Yar’Adua president and my advice was not heeded and you saw what happened.

“I can see the glory of Nigeria in the South East and I don’t agree with Wole Soyinka that Jonathan is Nebuchadnezzar ; Jonathan is a forerunner to the glory of God.”
