PoliticsAlleged N1.97bn Fraud: Why Court Struck Out Charge Against Orubebe by paddybrown(op): 7:37am On Apr 05, 2017
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri
ABUJA —An Abuja High Court sitting at Apo, yesterday,
struck out the six-count charge the Independent Corrupt
Practices Commission, ICPC, preferred against former
Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe,
over alleged N1.97 billion contract fraud.
Trial judge, Justice Olukayode Adeniyi, also discharged the
defendants, after the charge was withdrawn by the
prosecution.
The charge was withdrawn on a day the court earlier gave
the anti-graft agency leave to produce its witnesses to
establish that Orubebe, who served under ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan, diverted funds meant for the
compensation of owners of property on Eket Urban section
of the East-West Road in Eket, Akwa Ibom State.
Other defendants in the charge were an Assistant Director
at the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, Mr. Oludare Alaba,
and the Director of Contracts, Gitto Costruzioni Generali
Nig. Ltd., Mr. Ephraim Zari.
However, shortly after the defendants were arraigned, the
Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice,
Mr. Abubakar Malami, SAN, in a letter to Chairman of
ICPC, with Ref No. DPPA/MNDA/345/16, confirmed that
the N1,965,576,153.46, which Orubebe allegedly diverted,
“has not been expended, but awaiting further contract
decisions and directives from the Ministry of Niger Delta
Affairs.”
The AGF’s letter dated December 16, 2016 by the Director
of Public Prosecution of the Federation, Mr. Mohammed U.
E, said: “In view of the above, the basis for the prosecution
of the accused persons for misappropriation does not exist
and thus, further prosecution cannot be justified.
“I am directed to convey the directive of the AGF, involuntary
his powers under section 174(1) (c) of the constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended),
sections 105 and 109 of the Administration of Criminal
Justice Act 2015, that you drop the charge against the
suspects.”

PoliticsTrue Quality Of A Good Leader "Tinibu As A Case Study" by paddybrown(op): 3:36pm On Nov 21, 2015
RETWEET... In 1999, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected Governor of Lagos State. His then party, the Alliance for Democracy (AD) produced all the governors of the South West. By 2003, Tinubu was the onl y governor left in the AD. He was under pressure to decamp but he stayed. He built the party and it became stronger. For the eight years that he ruled Lagos, he hired several guys to work with him. I think he carefully picked them. Apart from using them to work in his government, he also groomed them for the future. Eight years down the line, see where those Tinubu guys are today - 1. Prof Yemi Osinbajo, SAN was Tinubu's Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice. He is today, Nigeria's Vice President. 2. Rauf Aregbesola was Tinubu's Commissioner for Works. Today he is serving his second tenure as Governor of Osun State. 3. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN was Tinubu's Chief of Staff and successor in office. He is today Nigeria's Minister of Power, Works and Housing. 4. Alhaji Lai Mohammed was Tinubu's first Chief of Staff. He is today, Nigeria's Minister of Information. 5. Babatunde Fowler was appointed by Tinubu as Chairman of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service. Today, he is the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service. At the National Assembly, there are countless "Tinubu boys" who have occupied and are still occupying seats till today. Since 1999, the Tinubu camp has produced almost 98% of the members of the National Assembly from Lagos State. Forget politics, this man is a political enigma. Rewind to 1999, I am sure most of us have forgotten the names of the People who were elected Governors then. Some of them have gone out of circulation. Some are gasping for breath politically. Indeed, most of them are no longer relevant today. Who still remembers Mbadinuju of Anambra State, Jolly Nyame of Taraba, Mohammed Lawal of Kwara, Segun Osoba of Ogun, Attahiru Bafarawa of Sokoto, Achike Udenwa of Imo, Victor Attah of Akwa Ibom, Orji Uzor Kalu of Abia? That one has lost two consecutive senatorial elections. But Tinubu has not only managed to remain extremely relevant, he has continued to control Lagos politics 100%. Not only that, he manages to carry his boys along and today they occupy critical positions in our national life. Take it or leave it, Tinubu is today, Nigeria's most powerful politician. It didn't just happen by chance. He worked very hard for it. Very very hard. The hallmark of a true leader is not just the ability to rule well but also the ability to nurture and groom his associates. Oga Tinubu, TUALE SIR!!! Written by Onyebuchi Ememanka chief

Romance10 Type Of Woman You Should Never Marry by paddybrown(op):
10 TYPE OF A WOMAN YOU SHOULD NEVER MARRY

While we can all agree that nobody is
perfect, there are actually a few things that
would adversely affect a relationship if a
man chooses to partner with a woman with
some not-so-great attributes.
Naij.com presents you with the 10 kinds of
woman a man should think twice about
making a wife.



1. The Bitter Woman: You know that woman
that always seems to be angry at the
menfolk all the time? Perhaps she has had
her heart broken one too many times, but
this woman is always bashing on men and
talking about how they are no-good or
useless. A man might not want to settle
down with someone so bitter as it is
guaranteed that when the opportunity arises,
she would hurl hurtful insults and intense,
hateful words his way due to all her
unresolved anger.



2. The Selfish Woman: If you want a happy
home and a partner that wants your
happiness as well as hers, then you should
steer clear of the selfish woman. A woman
who is determined to make sure she always
comes first would not be able to build a
cheerful and loving home with you.



3. The Materialistic Woman: A woman
obsessed with material things would certainly
not make the best wife. If all she cares about
are material possession over family, faith and
spiritual fulfillment, then she will not make
the best partner.



4. The Flirty Woman : Are you attracted to
that woman that always seems to flirt with
one person or another? She flirts like a
butterfly from one man to another and makes
all men feel like she is interested in them.
Well, beware, because a habit like that might
be hard to break after marriage and you
would not want to start hearing that your
wife has had flirty conversations with all the
men in the neighbourhood.



5. The Party Freak : She is invited to every
party and attends them all. She is always
dressed in the most flashy clothes and is the
ultimate party girl. She lives for the next big
gathering and cannot say no to an invitation.
Such woman might not be the type to settle
down in a marriage.




6. The Spoilt-Brat : A woman who grew up
having everything handed to her and has
never had the experience of actually working
for something is unlikely to make the best
wife. No matter how much you might be
willing to provide her with the kind of lifestyle
she grew up with, remember, marriage comes
with kids and kids require sacrifice. If she
has never had to work or make sacrifices for
anything in her life, it is unlikely that she
would start now.




7. The Attention Seeker: While some women
naturally like attention, when it becomes an
obsession, then it is not a good idea. A good
husband makes sure he has time for his wife,
but this cannot happen 100percent of the
time so a good wife should understand that.




8. The Gossip : Does she always seem to
never mind her own business? Is she always
focused on what someone else is doing or
how someone else is living their life? Then
you do not need this kind of woman as a
wife. A man needs someone that would build
a home with him and this requires some
focus on her own plans and her own life. If
she is too busy minding someone else’s
business, then you are fighting a losing
battle.




9. The Commitment-Phobe : A woman who
finds it difficult to commit to anything
(school, jobs, family, friendship, etc) would
also not be able to commit to a marriage. If
she seems to lose interest in everything
quickly and is always looking for the next
thing to jump into, then you would have a
hard time keeping her focused in her
marriage.




10. The Disrespectful Woman: If she seems
to always be disrespectful and rude (even if it
is to people she considers beneath her
standards) then you need to think twice
about marrying her. Respect for a fellow
human being is a very important attribute in
who we choose to spend the rest of our lives
with so it is definitely not something that
should be taken lightly.

PoliticsKeep Praying For Buhari – Jonathan by paddybrown(op): 8:52pm On Jul 05, 2015
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has urged Nigerians
to continue supporting and praying for his successor,
President Muhammadu Buhari, as terrorist activities
intensify.
Jonathan said this on his official Facebook page on
Sunday while reacting to the Church bombing in Yobe
which left over six people dead.
The former President, who has been silent for several
weeks, said the Sunday attack was a sad reminder that the
war against terror is a task for all Nigerians and not only
the armed forces.
He said, “The death of any Nigerian at the hands of
terrorists is a sad reminder that the war on terror is a task
for all Nigerians not just the armed forces. I urge all
Nigerians to continue to pray for peace in Nigeria and to
support the administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari as the government does its best to bring an end to
these acts of terror and secure all Nigerians. May God
bless Nigeria.”
The death of any Nigerian at the hands of terrorists is
a sad reminder that the war on terror is a task for all…

PoliticsDescription Of Nigeria Politics....a Must Read by paddybrown(op): 12:17pm On Feb 07, 2015
jOkE oF tHe DaY... A little boy goes to his dad and asks,
"Daddy what is politics?" Dad says, "Well son, let me try to
explain it this way: I'm the
breadwinner of the family, so let's call
me capitalism. Your Mom, she's the
administrator of the money, so we'll call
her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs,
so we'll call you the
people. The house help, we'll consider
her the Working Class. And your baby
brother, we'll call him the Future. Now,
think about that and see if that makes
sense," So the little boy goes off to bed
thinking about what dad had said. Later that night, he hears
his baby
brother crying, so he gets up to check
on him. He finds that the baby has
severely soiled his diaper. So the little
boy goes to his parents' room and
finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he
goes to the
house help's room. Finding the door
locked, he peeks in the keyhole and
sees his father in bed with the house
help. He gives up and goes back to
bed. The next morning, the little boy says to
his father, "Dad, I think I understand
the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good son, tell me in
your own words what you think
politics is all about." The little boy replies, "Well, while
Capitalism is messing with the Working
Class, the Government is sound asleep,
the People are being ignored and the
Future is in deep poo."

PoliticsJonathan’s Re-election: Ex-militants Vow To Cut Off Fuel Supply To North If… by paddybrown(op): 10:45am On Jan 26, 2015
ORON—Repentant militant leaders in the Niger Delta have
threatened to cut off the supply of petroleum products to
Northern Nigeria, should the North oppose the re-election
of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.
The ex-militants, at their meeting in Oron, Akwa Ibom
State, also threatened to ensure that the North did not
benefit from crude oil proceeds generated from the Niger
Delta region.
The ex-militants converged in Oron under the aegis of the
Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative,
where they assessed the handling of Niger Delta
Development Commission, NDDC, projects by contractors.
President of the group, Mr. Reuben Wilson, said that their
interest was to ensure that Jonathan returned to office in
2015, while anybody opposed to the idea would be
considered an enemy of the region.
He said: “We met in Oron to review developments in the
country, particularly the interest of the Niger Delta people.
You will agree that the Niger Delta is the main stay of the
nation’s economy. You will also agree with me that the
Niger Delta people are sustaining the economy at great
inconveniences and pains to its people and the
environment. This has been the only time that the region
has had the privilege of producing a president for the
country.
“It is unthinkable that the North will be plotting against our
son, intimidating him with bomb blasts here and there and
causing the untimely death of scores of innocent
Nigerians, all because they want to take back power.
“We have always seen the need for us to live together as
one indivisible country and that is what Mr. President
believes in.”

PoliticsArmed Groups Are Back To Creeks In Niger Delta — Asuni by paddybrown(op): 10:27am On Jan 26, 2015
Dr Judy Asuni is the executive Director Academic
Associate Peaceworks. She has been at the forefront of
reforming armed youths otherwise called militants in the
Niger Delta for close to a decade.
In this interview, Dr Asuni speaks on efforts by her body to
ensure a violent free election. She also expresses worries
that some of the armed groups in the region have started
returning to the creeks. Excerpt:
Judith Asuni
Judith Asuni
What are your fears about the coming elections
My fears are that we may see even more violence than we
saw in previous elections. The stakes are very high now. I
have just been to Abuja, the tensions in the north, people
in the north feeling it is time to get their Representatives
back. People In the South South are feeling that Goodluck
Jonathan should continue as President. I am afraid that
the stakes are higher than before. We are working on a
project with funding from Foundation for Partnership
Initiatives in the Niger Delta, PIND, on non violent elections
for 2015. We have worked for more than a decade now
with members of the armed groups in the Niger Delta.
They killed some of the young men in political violence in
the past. So we are trying to get the message home that
you may be hired to harass, intimidate and steal ballot
boxes by opponents but ultimately you can lose your lives
in the process.
We are doing a series of videos about people who have
been killed in political violence. Talking to their wives, their
children, sometimes their mothers. It is very sad, because
the long time impact is huge, children growing up without
any father. We interviewed a family where the child was in
the womb when the father was killed. So this child has
never known the father.
In Rivers state we have had situations where APC
secretariats have been reportedly bombed on two
occasions, the PDP governorship candidate was also
allegedly attacked during his campaign . Do you see
people coming out to vote during the elections with
violence already in the air?
I hope that they will turn up for the elections. We are
working on eighteen local governments areas likely prone
to violence, one of them is Okirika where APC secretariat
has been attacked. The other local governments are also
prone to violence . One thing we are trying to do is get
people to take control of the elections themselves, take
control of the governance process.
