'SO THIS IS HOW YOU PIGHT KWURAPTION FA!'. ONE CHANCE NA HIM WE DON ENTER. How Former UBEC, TETFUND Bosses Stole N850 Million Meant For School Desks, Chairs Posted by adislovewhite on November 24, 2012 in Aproko, News Immediate past Executive Secretaries of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) and Education Tax Fund (ETF), now Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund), Dr. Ahmed Modibbo Mohammed and Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, pocketed N850 million meant to buy chairs and desks for school children, Pointblanknews. com can authoritatively reveal. Their successors in office have reportedly launched investigations into the whereabouts of the money which a Federal High Court in June 2011 ordered to be paid into an interest yielding account. Their efforts have so far drawn blank. Upon their “redeployments” on September 3, 2007, Modibbo and Yakubu cashed N850 million approved by their predecessors to mobilise a plastics chair manufacturer, Intermarkets Nigeria Limited. The company was to produce 70,000 units of chairs and tables for school children. having earlier manufactured for UBEC under Phase 1 of the project. Interestingly, over five years after another N850 million was drawn for Phase 2 of the manufacturing contract, Intermarkets is still waiting to be mobilised. A whole year after the release of the N850 million, Modibbo placed advertorials in some newspapers “Invitation for Pre-Qualification of Firms to Tender for the Production and Suppy of Plastic Desks and Chairs for Junior Secondary Schools.” In the Friday, August 22, 2008, editions of THISDAY and Daily Trust newspapers, Modibbo advertised: UBEC “has received financial support from the Education Tax Fund (ETF) and intends to apply the proceeds for the procurement of high-grade, impact resistant co polymer resin desks and chairs for the basic education sub-sector at the states and FCT level in Nigeria.” In the Wednesday, November 5, 2008 editions of the same newspapers, Modibbo announced that he had pre-qualified some companies. 17 of these belonged to his wife, Aishatu. Curiously, Modibbo inserted the footnote “These firms have been pre-qualified subject to confirmation of ownership of factory for the production of plastic furniture.” Observed a UBEC official: “In one breath, Modibbo announced he had pre-qualified some companies. After pre-qualification comes bidding process. Yet he was talking of ‘subject to confirmation of ownership of factory.’ What then was the basis for the pre-qualification?” Some of the companies Modibbo pre-qualified, which belonged to his wife, are Binani Nig. Ltd., Ojunwa Enterprises, Binwa Nig. Ltd., Al-Malal Nig. Ltd. Golden Crescent Nig. Ltd., Al-Hazen Enterprises and Infinity Telecoms Ltd., among others. At the time four of the ‘companies,’ including Binwa and Ojunwa had not been registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). Unfortunately for the former UBEC boss, Intermarkets rushed to a Federal High Court and obtained an order restraining him from re-awarding what the firm considered its contract to his wife’s companies. On the heels of the restraining order, Pointblanknews gathered, Modibbo and Yakubu resolved to share the N850 million. Armed with information that Modibbo and Yakubu had shared the money, Intermarkets, in February 2011, approached the court to order UBEC and TETFund pay the contentious N850 million into its account. Yakoob had earlier entangled himself by deposing to an affidavit that the N850 million was not only safe, but in his custody. Interestingly, when the matter came up in court, the same Yakubu, who had in an affidavit dated 21 January, 2011, claimed the money was in his custody, put up every possible legal road block to prevent the court granting the contractor’s prayer. Unknown to the former TETFund boss, his opposition to the contractor’s prayer for the money to be paid into the court’s account, only helped to confirm that he and his UBEC colleague had shared the money. On July 29, 2011 Justice Abdu Kafarati granted Intermarkets’ prayers and ordered Yakub’s TETFund and Modibbo’s UBEC to deposit the said N850 million in an interest-yielding account of his court. Initially, Yakubu pretended to be satisfied with the order. He asked his lawyers Uwais and Uwais to write the Chief Registrar of the court to prepare to receive the money. In the letter dated February 23, 2012, with reference number WUC/32/FHC/ OD/12, his lawyers penned: “We write in respect of the Order of Court Coram Justice Abdu Kafarati on the 29th day of July, 2011, ordering the 1st and 2nd defendants to deposit with the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court, to be placed in an interest yielding account, the sum of N850 million. “We hereby request that the said account be opened and that you furnish us with the account details including, 1. Name of Bank; 2. Account Number, and 3. Sort Code, to enable the Defendants transfer the said amount accordingly.” In the letter signed by Obinna D. Obinna D. Ogbuagu, TETFUnd added, “We look forward to receiving the required information before the next adjourned date, which is the 19th day of March, 2012.” Curiously, shortly after writing the court, Yakubu instructed TETFund’s lawyers to file an appeal at the Federal Court of Appeal. The notice of appeal was dated 9th September, 2011. However Ruling that UBEC and TETFund had nothing to lose if they complied with the preservative order by depositing the N850 million with the Federal High Court, Justice Hussain Mukthar of the Federal Court of Appeal last October dismissed TETFund’s appeal. As things stand, Yakoob and Modibbo on September 3, 2012 exhausted their terms and may not be re-appointed. UBEC’s acting Executive Secretary, Prof. Onocha Pointblanknews.com gathered, has been appealing to Modibbo to quietly return the N850 million “so that we can move forward.” However, some UBEC and TETFund officials insist that what Modibbo and Yakubu should be made to refund N1.6 billion which they say is the interest that should have accrued to N850 million over five years. The commission’s Legal Adviser Ms. Fati Abubakar is reportedly uncomfortable with the legal fees incurred by Modibbo. She has reportedly complained to Onocha on the impropriety of shouldering the legal responsibilities of Modibbo, who no longer is a staff of UBEC. Part of the legal fees, which run into tens of millions of Naira, accumulated over time from the services of such law firms as Gaul Gate and Anachebe and Anachebe. Modibbo’s tenure which lapsed in September was strewn with controversies and court cases. The latest suit against Modibbo was filed on September 14, 2012, by a suspended deputy director, Molkat Mutfwang. A senior architect, Mutfwang has approached a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja seeking the court to, among other things, determine Modibbo’s eligibility to be re-appointed UBEC boss. Mutfwang asked the court to determine if Modibbo’s admissions in court to giving his wife UBEC contracts running into billions of Naira did not breach the Procurement Act, Code of Conduct and Penal Code, and that if such didn’t amount criminal breach of trust. He asked the court to determine “whether in the light of his not being an educationist, the first defendant (Modibbo) should be reappointed as the ES of UBEC having regard to the provisions of section 10 (1) of the UBEC Act, 2004. “Whether having regard to the brazen abuse of office and acts of oppression perpetrated by the 1st defendant during his first tenure as ES, UBEC; the said defendant should be reappointed for a 2nd tenure in the same capacity” The architect also asked the court to determine “Whether having regard to the 1st defendants admissions on record in a court of law that he awarded contracts to his wife (through various companies-registered and unregistered) without disclosing his relationship with her thereby compromising his position as a public officer in violation of the Public Service Regulations.” Based on the aforementioned, Muftwang sought “an order of injunction restraining the 2nd defendant, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from extending or renewing the tenure of the 1st defendant as ES, UBEC” He also sought an injunction “restraining the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th defendants from recommending, effecting or giving effect to any step geared towards renewing the tenure of the 1st defendant as ES, UBEC” Listed as the 2nd defendant was President Goodluck Jonathan; Secretary to the Government of the Federation was listed as the 3rd; Attorney General of the Federation was the 4th; Minister of Education, the 5th; while UBEC pulled up the rear as the 6th defendants. Muftwang also prayed the court for a declaration “that the 1st defendant (Modibbo) by his actions is not a fit and proper person to be re-appointed as ES, UBEC,” and an “order of mandatory injunction against the AGF to prosecute the 1st defendant for offences against the Code of Conduct Bureau Act, Procurement Act and Penal Code including corruption, criminal breach of Trust and Perjury.” Muftwang’s originating summons were supported by a 33-point affidavit. UBEC sources told Pointblanknews.com that they believed Mutfwang’s suit was triggered by Modibbo’s arrogance during his handover to Prof. Onocha. During the brief ceremony, sources told Pointblanknews.com , Modibbo had boasted to senior officials that his absence would be short-lived, as the recommendation for his re- appointment would be approved by President Goodluck Jonathan “any minute.” Sources close to the former UBEC boss offered that Modibbo’s confidence in his re-appointment was buoyed by the N75 million he claimed to have disbursed to top officials of the Ministry of Education for the purpose. According to UBEC Act (2004), an Executive Secretary can only be appointed by the President on the recommendation of the Minister of Education. However, UBEC falls under the purview of the Minister of State for Education, Chief Onyeso Wike. Onocha, who was described as a lily-livered professor, was so traumatized by Modibbo that he still lives in the shadow of his former boss. So strong was Modibbo’s grip on UBEC that he reportedly walked away with his office key. “It was only last Sunday (November 19) that oga (Modibbo) came to move his personal belongings,” said an official. During Modibbo’s tenure, Onocha served as deputy Executive Secretary. Shortly before the former Executive Secretary exhausted his tenure, he appointed the law firm of Anachebe and Anachebe to defend him in a breach of contract suit instituted by a plastic furniture manufacturer Intermarkets Nigeria Limited and their American parent company Intermarkets USA LLC. On May 9, 2012, Anachebe, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) threw decorum to the dogs and engaged a much junior female lawyer Ms. Regina Okotie-Eboh in a verbal brawl in the premises of the Federal High Court, Abuja. The SAN and Ms. Okotie-Eboh, to the bewilderment of a crowded court, hurled unprintable names at each other. Anachebe was to later disclose in a petition that when he called up Ms. Okotie-Eboh’s boss, Rickey Tarfa, also a SAN, to protest her “unruly behaviour,” Tarfa snapped that he (Anachebe) got what he deserved. The frosty relationship between Anachebe and Tarfa, who is counsel to Intermarkets, has showed little signs of thawing. Both senior lawyers have dragged themselves before the disciplinary committee of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA). It is the same Anachebe that the UBEC Legal Adviser has advised should be stopped from further putting up legal fees’ claims from UBEC. “How do we justify payments for the legal fees for Modibbo, who is now more or less a passer-by?” the UBEC legal adviser reportedly tasked the acting Executive Secretary.

EducationA Selfless Aspiration by Pigin1(op): 5:56pm On Sep 28, 2015
“So, when you grow up, what
would you like to be?” Nneka
asked her pupils. Her face was
beaming with a resplendent
smile. Her passion for life, her
love for teaching and care for her
students were infectious. Each
time she smiled, her pupils
smiled in response, almost in
sync; as though they were under
the spell of her adorable smile.
From one end of the classroom
to another, smiles were beaming
all over with pure juvenile
innocence and a zest for life.
Hands sprouted in the air like
seeds germinating simultaneously.
“Aunty I…Aunty I…Aunty I,” they
bellowed in an attempt to beat
one another to Nneka’s question.
one another to Nneka’s question.
“Okay, you first Patience ,” Nneka
finally said pointing at one of her
star students. Patience was
slightly taller than her peers. She
was well liked in class, and very
intelligent. “When I grow up, I
want to be a doctor,” she
answered with a ravishing smile.
Her entire thirty two teeth
flashed brilliantly as she stood at
her desk. Her well patterned
braid glistened along with her
smile. “So, why do you want to
be a doctor?” Nneka asked her.
“Because I want to wear long
white robes and study about
diseases. I want to cure people.”
“That is beautiful Patience. It is
wonderful that you want to cure
the sick. What about you Chima ?”
Chima was a shy boy, albeit very
intelligent. He said very little in
class, but on the playground, he
was a bulldozer. His mother was
a teacher, so he seemed to study
more than his peers at home,
and as a result, he was among
the top three students in his
class. He wore spectacles due to
an eye ailment he was born with.
“I want to be a Chemical
Engineer,” Chima said with a
subdued smile. “Do you mind
telling us why, Chima?” “Yes
aunty. I want to be a Chemical
Engineer because I want to work
for the biggest oil company in the
country. Besides, my father is a
Chemical Engineer, so I want to
be like him when I grow up.”
“Wonderful!” Nneka exclaimed in
her characteristic ebullient
manner. “What of you
Ikemefuna ?” “I want to be a
lawyer,” he answered without
hesitation. Ikemefuna was
cantankerous, always picking a
fight with a classmate. One
evening, a neighbor had told him
that he behaved like a lawyer, so
he bought into the idea hook,
line and sinker. From that day
on, he told everyone who cared
to listen that he was going to be
a lawyer. “Why?” “I want to be a
lawyer because lawyers are
respected. I want to throw all the
bad people in prison and fight for
innocent people,” he answered
with unrestrained energy. “That is
wonderful. Society needs more of
your kind, Ikem. What about you
Onyenachi ?” Onyenachi said she
would like to be a nurse so she
could care for sick people.
Lotanna , wanted to be a pilot, so
he could fly all over the world.
Ijeoma said she would like to be
a nurse too. Sandra said her
dream was to become a medical
doctor, so she could find the cure
for malaria. John wanted to be a
Civil Engineer, so he could build
mansions. The list continued.
Nneka made sure she had
something pleasant to say about
each of her pupils’ aspirations.
Her smile appeared to grow
stronger and bolder with each
passing minute.
As Nneka went from the front of
the class to the back, Ikechukwu
sat quietly at the back. He was his
usual quiet self. He said very
little in class, and always seemed
to be in a deep thought. He was
not among the very top students
in his class, but he was not far
from that top list though. He was
resolute, very sure of himself and
calm. He was no afraid to say his
mind even when the entire class
was up against him. It seemed
like he always had a divergent
opinion from the rest of the
world and today was not any
different. His classmates were
eager to find out what his
aspirations were. “What of you?
What do you want to be when
you grow up?” Chinwe asked
Ikechukwu before Nneka reached
their desk. Her voice was a quite
whisper, which only Ikechukwu
heard. Chinwe was Ikechukwu’s
neighbor in class. They had been
sitting together from the
beginning of the academic year.
Nneka moved her pupils around
every now and again to get them
to know one another better. For
some reason, she had yet to
separate Chinwe and Ikechukwu.
“I don’t know yet,” Ikechukwu
replied. “What of you?” He
whispered additionally. Chinwe
looked at him as though he
(Ikechukwu) had fallen out of the
moon. “What do you mean you
don’t know?” She whispered with
a bemused look on her face. “I
don’t know,” Ikechukwu insisted.
“You are always different right?
Everyone knows what they want
to be except you. You just like to
be different. Well, I want to be a
doctor,” Chinwe shot back at him
managing to keep her voice to a
whisper.
When it was Chinwe’s turn, she
reeled out her answer with
boisterous zeal. “I want to be a
doctor because I want to cure
people with malaria, typhoid
fever and all kinds of diseases,”
she said as her loud voice echoed
through the classroom. “That is
very wonderful Chinwe. You keep
working hard and you will get
there.” “Thanks!” She replied with
a wide smile that left her eyes
sunken in the happy contours that
arrived on her face along with
that big smile. “Ikechukwu what
would you like to be when you
grow up?” Nneka asked. Everyone
looked back, eager to find out
what Ikechuwku’s aspirations
were. He said nothing for a
moment, as though he was
mulling over the question. “Do
you want to share with us
Ikechukwu?” Nneka pressed him
gently, still maintaining a smile
on her face. Then, Ikechukwu
responded. “I don’t know what I
want to be when I grow up aunty.
You see, there are other things
that confuse me…things that
worry me and I have yet to find
an answer to them. Maybe when
I do, then I can think of what I
want to be when I am an adult.”
Everyone in class looked
perplexed, including Nneka. She
managed to hide hers though,
letting a smile embellish her face.
“Would you like to share those
things with us Ikechukwu,” she
persuaded him as gently as she
could.
“Aunty,” he said after another
wait. “Yes, go ahead.” “This
morning, I am sure most of my
classmates had breakfast before
coming to school. Some of them
even had their parents drop them
off in their cars. Some have lunch
boxes packed for the afternoon.
Clearly, they are wearing a
different set of uniforms today
than they did yesterday. I did not
have breakfast this morning. I am
not sure of lunch either. I am
hoping there will be dinner – you
see, dinner is almost certain in
my family, but breakfast and
lunch are hard to come by. My
parents save the little we have
for just supper. At least we have
something in our stomach before
we go to bed. I have been
wearing the same set of uniforms
from last year. I have almost
grown out of them, but since my
parents cannot afford another
one, I have to keep wearing the
same set. My mother has patched
them up the best she could. I
have never had scandals, so I
walk to school on bare feet. My
parents work so hard, yet we are
so poor…And I love them so
much. I always tell my father that
when I grow up, I want to help
him. I don’t know how, but I just
want to help my father and
mother; to help my brothers and
sisters. When my little sister cries
for lack of food at home, it
leaves me in tears. I carry her in
my arms and I tell her that
someday, I want to look after
her. I want to wipe her tears
away. I want to buy Christmas
clothes for my siblings and
parents. In the past four years,
no one has gotten Christmas
clothes in my house. On
Christmas day when our neighbors
file out in bright new clothes, we
hang our heads in shame as we
shuffle to church in the same old,
ragged clothes.”
He paused for a moment as if he
wanted to make certain that he
was driving home his point.
“Aunty, it is hard to think about
anything else than ending the
pains that torture your family
when you find yourself in my
shoes. I just want to help my
parents, brothers and sisters –
that is my dream for now. I go to
bed every night thinking of that. I
wake up praying to grow up and
help. That is all I want to do now.
I don’t know how I am going to
do it, or what I am going to
become, but whatever that comes
to be, I sure hope it allows me to
wipe the tears I know run down
the cheeks of my parents when
they lay down at night thinking of
what their children will eat
tomorrow!” Nneka did not know
whether to let the tears flow or
whether to hide them. Torn, she
walked closer to Ikechukwu and
took him in her arms. “I am so
sorry to hear what your family
has been going through
Ikechukwu!” She said emotionally.
“Take my lunch!” Chinwe offered,
holding her bread and egg out to
Ikechukwu. “You can have it all, I
don’t care. I will bring you some
more tomorrow,” she said
emphatically. Tears rolled down
her face, as with her classmates.
Even those who did not like
Ikechukwu before now felt a deep
pang of pity for him. “You can
have mine too,” Patience offered.
She held out her lunch box with
one hand while she wiped tears
off her face with the other.
Sandra was sobbing violently. She
was one of the smallest pupils in
Nneka’s class. She hopped off her
seat and walked over to
Ikechukwu who was still wrapped
up in Nneka’s arms. “Please can I
hug you too Ikechukwu?” She
asked. “I don’t want to be a
doctor anymore. When I grow up,
I want to be just like you
Ikechukwu. I just want to help
people starting with my family.”
She placed one of her short,
slender arms on Ikechukwu’s back
and the other Nneka’s legs. She
tried so hard to get a better hold
of Ikechukwu who was crying too.
“I just want to be like you!”
Sandra said more emphatically.
After a prolonged hug, Nneka
hesitantly let go of Ikechukwu,
but Sandra would not let go. She
put both arms around him as if
her hands could wipe his searing
pains away. Nneka wiped her
face, sniffed for a moment and
looked around the class, almost
dazed. “Thanks for sharing your
situation with us Ikechukwu. I will
bring you lunch every day and
something you can take home for
dinner, okay?” She said, still
somewhat Perplexed. She wanted
to wipe all his tears away, but she
didn’t quite know how, or if she
could solve all of his family’s
problems. “We’ll bring something
for Ikechukwu everyday too!”
Patience suggested. “Yes!” The
rest of the class offered. “I hope
that will help, Ikechukwu?” Nneka
asked hoping that somehow, she
and her pupils were being of
help. “Stop crying my boy,” she
encouraged him trying to gain
hold of him again, but little,
feisty Sandra wouldn’t let go. She
held tightly onto Ikechukwu. “It is
okay Sandra,” Nneka coaxed her.
Half-heartedly, Sandra loosened
the grip on her left arm, but not
her right arm. She wanted to
maintain some hold on
Ikechukwu. Now that he had
some room to breathe, Ikechukwu
managed to wipe his tears, take a
deep breath and say, “Chinwe can
I have the lunch? I am really
hungry.” “Yes, have it all,” Chinwe
offered generously. “Go ahead
and eat Ikechukwu,” Nneka
encouraged her. “Can I have yours
too Patience, so I can run over to
the next building and offer it to
my younger brother who is in
elementary four. He could use
some food too.”
“Yes!” Patience said exuberantly
delighted to be of some help.
“Eat first Ikechukwu. When you
finish, then I can go to the other
building with you to offer the
other box to your brother,” Nneka
suggested. “Please aunty; can I go
offer that to my brother first? He
is younger. I think he needs it
more than I do,” Ikechukwu
pleaded. Another streak of tears
spontaneously dropped from
Nneka’s eyes. She tried to wipe
them, but more tears surged to
the fore with relentless force.
She walked over to her purse,
took a handkerchief and wiped
her face. “It is okay, sit down and
eat Ikechukwu. Patience please
hand me that box. I will go over
to elementary four and offer this
to your brother,” Nneka offered.
“Thanks aunty. His name is
Kenechukwu. He is in elementary
four B,” Ikechukwu said. “Okay, I
will make sure he gets it.” Only
then did Ikechukwu sit down to
eat the bread and fried egg that
Chinwe had offered him. Sandra
ran over to her school bag and
dug out a box of Caprisun, which
she offered to Ikechukwu. “Aunty
please can you give this to my
brother too?” Ikechukwu
requested instead, as Nneka was
leaving. She turned back, took
the juice from him and headed
out. I pray I can be just like him,
she thought to herself as she left
the class still fighting back tears.
After handing the windfall to
Ikechukwu’s brother, she went to
the bathroom, lotcked herself in
and cried emotionally. Lord,
please make me like that little
boy. He has thought me the best
lesson of my life, she thought to
herself.

Our dear son, Prince Audu has refused to change his ways even at old age. Who will help us change this 68 years old Prince.

Muslim ummah had to wait impatiently for Audu to arrive before we commence prayer to Almighty Allah! Eid prayer was scheduled to hold by 9am in the morning, but our dear Audu did not show up at the prayer ground, against the tradition of Islam, until after 1pm. Prayers commenced after he arrived but many faithfuls had left in annoyance. Anytime we mix with other Kogians in Lokoja, we notice that Kogi people have one thing in common against Audu. Almost all Kogians will tell you that our Prince is proud, pompous and arrogant. Our Prince is always giving us concerns with his unchanging character. People complained about these traits while he was in government and people are still complaining about this about Audu. Is it impossible for Audu to change? Must you show your swag before the Almighty?

Rooting for neither of them, both are equally terrible candidates. Kogi guys have to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Yahaya Bello in APC and Echocho in PDP would have been better candidates.
Anyways, the odds seem to favour the corrupt old pervert Audu
Kai!! Bros your head they there, Yahaya Bello would have been a formidable candidate!! Though i am from kogi east but i don't like any of the candidates representing Apc and pdp!!! Prefer wada to pa Audu, You can't have Tinubu as your God father in Lagos and loss any elections likewise having Ibro and loss any elections in kogi state!!! Ibrahim idris the Godfather!!!

People Who have never in their life stepped a feet in Ganaja, or even Aiyetorro-Gbedde or even Zenith Bank Junction Okene will be analysing Kogi polls Online...

Audu and Wada are both from KogiEast (Igalas) The highest populated area in the state...Audu will beat Wada in Igala area ( 2) Okene zone are ready to vote for APC at any cost, I don't know y tho maybe the love for Buhari... I can't say how Kogi West will vote for Now...

But Wada is gone already... (No federal might to help him out) salaries till now still pending!! Does he wanna pay 2days to the Governorship election?

Stop Analysing from Afar brodas

Both Wada and Audu are thieves.... lol But Kogites will prefer an Audu...

Well let the best candidate emerge victorious
Tah!!! Go and sit down kogi central will never vote for those two clowns from kogi east!!! They will rather vote for the one and only "Yahaya Bello" even if he defects to kowa!!! Yahaya plans defection to SDP to actualise
governorship ambition


A former governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress may have perfected plans to defect to another party in order to contest the November governorship election in Kogi State. In a short message to his supporters, Yahaya Bello pledged to be on the ballot in the election. He said his determination to give leadership to the state can no longer be delayed.

“I, Alh Yahaya Bello shall be on the ballot in the forthcoming Governorship election of Kogi State, Insha Allah. The coast is clear and the time is NOW! Details soon. Many thanks to all”, the message stated.

A close confidant of the millionaire politician told Vanguard that arrangements for the defection had long been perfected but that the transport czar was
only bidding time to listen to the party leadership before unfolding his next line of action. He said the party took all aspirants for granted on the choice of a running mate for Audu. Another reliable source told our reporter that Yahaya Bello may eventually run on the Social
Democratic Party platform.
He said some key leaders of both the PDP and APC are working together on the project to make power
rotation a reality.

Reckless Driver A Manchester City fan liked to amuse himself by scaring every United supporter he saw strutting down the street in an obnoxious Man U jersey. He would swerve his van as if to hit them, then swerve back just missing them. One day while driving along, he saw a priest. He thought he would do a good deed, so he pulled over and asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?" "I'm going to give Mass at St. Francis church, about two miles down the road," replied the priest. "Climb in, Father. I'll give you a lift!" The priest climbed into the passenger seat, and they continued down the road. Suddenly, the driver saw a Man U supporter walking down the road, and he instinctively swerved as if to hit him. But, as usual, he swerved back onto the road just in time. Even though he was certain that he had missed the guy, he still heard a loud THUD. not knowing where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors but still didn't see anything. He then remembered the priest, and he turned to the priest and said, "sorry Father, I almost hit that Manchester United supporter." "That's OK," replied the priest "I got him with the door."

Career Day It's career day in primary school where each student talks about what their dad does. Little Johnny is last, and finally the teacher calls on him to talk about his dad. Johnny comes to the front of the class. 'My daddy is a dancer at a gay bar. He takes off his clothes for other men, and if they pay him enough money, he goes into the alley and performs sexual acts on them.' The teacher is shocked, and she calls for an early recess for the rest of the class. She sits down with Johnny and asks him if this is really true about his dad. Johnny says; 'No, but I was too embarrassed to say he played for Manchester United.'
