Nairaland GeneralHow Nigeria Police Forced Victim To Free ‘rapists’ by Rajman45(op): 9:49pm On Feb 13, 2015
Four boys raped her. Yet, there is no justice for her as the police allegedly forced her to free the rapists.
The Agbado-Oja community in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State is just a sleepwalking distance
away from the ever-bustling Ishaga area of Lagos. Despite its proximity to the “Centre of Excellence”, the
community typifies an eloquent statement in rustic retrogression — a place where poverty walks on all
fours, clothed in the tattered attire of naked, running children, rundown ancient buildings and filth-filled
streets.
But poverty is not the only thing that reigns unfettered here. The diabolic mixture of sexual abuse and
ignorance appears to be equally holding sway.
Hawawu (full name withheld), the 16 year-old daughter of a struggling bricklayer and an apprentice tailor,
recently became the latest victim of the rape virus currently running wild in the community. But in addition,
there was the shocking, seeming police complicity in the brutal crime.
As the story goes, on the evening of March 30, Hawawu received a call from her male friend, Adeleke, for a
meeting in his house. The previous day, Adeleke, a young man for whom Hawawu reportedly had a soft
spot, had arrived in the tailoring shop opposite her house where she resumed apprenticeship two years
ago, and a year after she dropped out of Primary Three at the nearby AC Community Primary School.
Adeleke, in the company of two other boys, reportedly invited her to an event holding in his house. After the
repeated call on Sunday evening, she left for his house. On getting there, Hawawu was said to be initially
reluctant entering. Shortly after, Adeleke and three of his friends dragged her into his room after which four
of them allegedly took turns raping her.
Later that night, they were said to have dragged the now half-conscious girl writhing in pains all the way
down the staircases in the storey building then dumped her in front of her ramshackle house on 4, Isanmi
Street in the Adubo-Agopani area of Agbado-Oja.
Hawawu’s father Yinusa Olarenwaju
Her father, Yinusa Olarenwaju, 43, was alerted by neighbours and he took her into the derelict, one room,
face-me-I-face-you apartment, a sort of a boys quarters arrangement left to him by his father. It is this
room with the brownish and wrinkled roofs falling off, and where he had shared with the victim and her
younger sister, Amina, 13, since their mother, Tawa, left him about a decade ago, that he took his dying
daughter into.
It was 11p.m. and, as usual, Mr. Olarenwaju was down and out and with no transport easily in site, he tried
‘managing’ the traumatized girl till the next day.
On Monday morning, a weeping Mr. Olarenwaju headed for the palace of the Baale (local chief), Sunday
Oyeogun, to report the matter.
“After Hawawu’s father reported, I immediately summoned the parents of the accused boys,” Mr. Oyeogun
told this reporter recently.
But rather than look out for the victim to extend to her the much needed medical care, they allegedly
‘gathered’ N200, 000 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira) and brought to the Baale to ‘kill’ the case. According
to him, he refused and directed that the girl be treated as a matter of urgency before any other discussion.
He also, he said, advised the victim’s father to report the case at the Divisional Police Headquarters in the
area.
Thereafter, a certain Alaba, a police officer attached to the Juvenile, Women and Children’s Unit, was
assigned the case as the Investigating Police Officer (IPO).
That was where the case took a dangerous turn.
“Alaba ensured that the girl was taken to the Sarabis Medical Centre in the Odo-Oba area of the community,
and also got the boys arrested. But shortly after, he called Mr. Olarenwaju and asked him to withdraw the
case,” said a source in the community familiar with the case. He requested not to be named for fear of
being harassed by the police.
When Mr. Olarenwaju protested the idea of what seemed a miscarriage of justice, Alaba slapped him and
handcuffed him, ‘rough-handling’ him at the police station. The poor man thereafter kept mute and offered
no more resistance.
Shortly after Hawawu was discharged from the hospital, one evening in the first week of April, Alaba
appeared at the front of Hawawu’s house, brandishing a paper. He commanded her out of the apartment,
thrust a paper in front of her and asked her to sign it. The implication, he explained, was that she had
withdrawn the case and would forever keep sealed lips over it.
Hawawu’s descrepit house– she was dumped in fron of her house after the rape
By Nigerian and international laws, anyone under the age of 18 is considered not qualified to sign
undertakings or agreements. Yet, whatever hesitance Hawawu hitherto nurtured must have simply
evaporated with Alaba’s intimidating presence and the reality of the brutality he had meted out to her father,
Mr. Olarenwaju just days before. It was possible that Hawawu, the primary three drop-out, with an eye for
fashion designing, had no idea what was on the paper. Nevertheless she capitulated and scribbled an
inelegant acceptance to Alaba’s white paper.
Alaba then marched triumphantly back to the police station and freed the ‘adventurous boys’
unconditionally. They were never tried and the victim and his impoverished father had been panel-beaten
into frightened silence.
Meanwhile, in a bid to hide the stigmatized girl from prying eyes and wagging tongues in the community,
and the fear of harassment from the boys’ families (who had allegedly threatened her bricklayer father),
Hawawu fled her home, father, sister and her dream of one day becoming a ‘Madam’, complete with her
own tailoring shop, obedient apprentists and who knows, a loving husband untainted by rape instincts.
Mrs. Sauban (she declined to provide her first name), Hawawu’s ‘Madam’ in whose shop she was learning
tailoring, described her as ‘a gentle girl’, and said she knew nothing more about the case. Not even the fact
that three of the boys had, a few days to the rape incident, came to her shop to invite the victim, or the fact
that she (Mrs. Suban) was the person who went to alert Hawawu’s mother, Tawa, the morning after the
rape incident.
At the Sarabis Medical Centre where Hawawu was treated, the doctor, Femi Amodu, would also not offer
insights into the nature of the victim’s injuries for “patient’s confidentiality and ethical reasons”. It thus
remained unclear if she received the right treatment.
Mr. Amodu’s hospital in itself raises a number of other questions. First, a source in the community claims
Mr. Amodu is a psychiatrist and not a general practitioner. A visit to the hospital shows persons exhibiting
signs of mental illness strolling around the vicinities of his white storey building, while a few patients waited
in the tiny reception. Another concern is the fact that the hospital is located directly behind ‘Bola Federal’, a
towering dumpsite that oozes acrid stench in the entire area.
A source in the community claims that it is common knowledge that the police always insists on referring
rape and other related cases in the community to Sarabis because the two — the hospital and the police–
allegedly shares the N20, 000 fee for ‘medical report’ on a 50/50 ratio.
Dr. Amodu would not confirm or deny anything, instead, directing the reporter to the police. A second
victim was also said to have been raped on the same night but details about that are very sketchy. The
doctor wouldn’t talk and Hawawu is in flight.
At the Divisional Headquarters, neither the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) nor the IPO, Alaba was available
for comments.
Attempts to trace the fleeing Hawawu has so far failed. At the equally rustic Orire community in the Ope-Ilu
area, also in Ifo Local Government, Tawa, Hawawu’s mother sat despondent. “She was here earlier but she
has gone to her father’s relatives’ place and it is very far away,’ she whispered wearily, holding her two
children, Latifa, 7, and Kafaya, 4, whom she has for her new husband, Kayode, a gangling electrician with
faraway looks.
Hawawu’s mother Tawa and children from her second marriage, Latifa, 7, and Ruka, 4
Tawa who hails from Idanre in Ondo State, just returned from her daily routine of hawking ‘ogi’ (local corn
food), looking disheveled, and like her two kids, clearly malnourished.
“What can I do? I will welcome whatever steps are taken to find justice for my daughter,” she said in a
small, frightened voice.
Madam Samatu, Tawa’s 74 year-old mother–inlaw, a woman of stately bearing amidst poverty, was
enraged that Tawa concealed the truth from her. “When Hawawu came here, what Iya Awawu (Hawawu’s
mother) only told me was that she had been involved in a fight and had fled home,” she told the reporter,
fuming.
“Rape is very rampant in this community now and the police and government must help us as it is getting
too much. This particular case was not handled well at all,” said Mr. Oyeogun, 35, who had a stint at the
Osun State University before his chieftaincy calling.
Joe Okei-Odumakin, president of the rights group, Women Arise, says justice must be brought to the door
steps of the suspects as well as the police officers involved in subverting justice.
“This incident goes to show that impunity is on the rise,” she said. “How can an underage girl be forced to
sign an undertaking? There is jungle justice everywhere. The people that perpetuated the heinous crime are
walking free while the victim is on the run! We must ensure that these boys are pulled out of their homes
and made to face the wrath of the law,” she said.
Mrs. Odumakin, who is currently a delegate at the ongoing National Conference, urged the Senate to pass
the anti-rape bill (already passed by the House of Representatives), which stipulates life imprisonment for
rape offenders.
“This is one rape too many. This is a wake-up call to all lovers of justice to ensure that we find justice for
this poor girl,” she added.

PoliticsGovernor Uduaghan Orders Deportation Oftrainees For Talking To Saharareporters by Rajman45(op): 7:57am On Feb 13, 2015
A bout 80 participants in the foreign training component of
the Delta State Youth Empowerment Programme (YEP) are
now living under constant threats of deportation from their
current base in Barbados for disclosing their poor living
conditions and other details to SaharaReporters.

Naija Advocate
The trainees were airlifted from Nigeria in December 2014
by the Delta State Government with the promise that they
would attend various trainings in Agriculture, Tourism,
Hospitality and Culinary Arts at different location in Trinidad
and Tobago, and Barbados, both in the West Indies. But
following rife allegations of poor treatment and neglect the
trainees had spoken to SaharaReporters in the hope that
their government would act in their favour.
They had described the programme as the “highest scam so
far in Delta State” and also pointed accusing fingers at the
Governor, his Deputy Prof. Amos Utuama, Commissioner
for Higher Education, Prof. Hope Eghagha and one Ms.
Donna St. Hill, a Barbadian, for conniving to syphon State
resources under the guise of training and empowering the
youths of Delta State.
The action of the trainees and the weighty disclosures
reportedly angered the Governor of Delta State, Emmanuel
Uduaghan who was said to have ordered the immediate
commencement of deportation processes and termination of
the programme. The Governor’s order was personally
served on the trainees by the Deputy Governor who travelled
to Barbados to meet the youthful Deltans.
From their base in Barbados, one of the trainees who
requested anonymity for fear of reprisal told
SaharaReporters, “In the past weeks we have received
several notices informing us to prepare for our deportation…
we must continue to let Deltans, Nigerians and the whole
world to know that the so called government youth program
is nothing but the highest scam so far in Delta State. Can
you imagine the Deputy Governor, Utuama can take a flight
to Barbados just to issue us deportation threats? The
program is nothing but a scam.”
Meanwhile, SaharaReporters has obtained a letter to the
trainees from the Delta State Government. Titled ‘Delta State
Youth Empowerment Programme: Notice of Suspension’ and
signed by Ataine Paul on behalf of the Commissioner for
Higher Education, the letter reads:
“I have been directed to inform you, our trainees in
Barbados, that in view of the challenges which you currently
face on welfare, the admissions process, coupled with
certain acts of rudeness exhibited by some of you,
Government has decided to suspend the Barbados end of
the programme.
“Consequent upon this, it is the decision of Government to
bring you our TRAINEES BACK FOR NOW. This is to enable
us review the process all over again with a view to sending
those who qualify, back to Barbados after the exercise. It
will equally afford Government time to address all the
identified challenges.
“I am further directed to urge you all to be calm and
peaceful, for no good thing in life comes easily. All
inconveniences are highly regretted. Thanks and God bless
you all. Amen.”
Among other grievances, the trainees had complained of
being housed in a poor hotel accommodation in “a
hurricane prone location as against the earlier procured
place at Infinity Hotel we were supposed to stay,” food
poisoning, and lack of water to bath. They had written and
sent a ‘Save Our Soul’ to the Delta State Government but
got no response.
Delta State Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Hope
Eghagha said his ministry is in charge of the programme
but dismissed allegations that it was a scam. He, however,
admitted knowing that the trainees were having some
accommodation challenges in Barbados.

Nairaland GeneralRemember That Scary Drama Wili Wili by Rajman45(op): 8:39am On Feb 11, 2015
Today's fast-paced world where information about
most things, including the secrets behind the
makings of a film, is readily available on the internet has
taken away some vintage sensations. And one of these is
the pleasure of getting terrified while watching a horror
movie.
Now, even kids know the secrets behind most horror flicks,
just like they know that Santa Claus who visits their school
is probably one of their teachers. Most horror flicks are now
emphasising stunts, hoping that will provide more attention
because even video games are now as gory as a horror film
can be.
However, it's a different tale entirely about two decades
down the line. In the late ‘80s, a drama series aired on the
Nigerian Television Authority that was capable of provoking
a ‘brown trouser' time for both children and adults alike. It
stood at par with Hollywood flicks including ‘Evil Dead' and
‘The Devil Dog' in its ability to make viewers shiver with
fear. It was the Hot Cash series.
The series chronicled the diabolic tale of an unfortunate
young man popularly called Willy Willy whose brother (was it
uncle?), out of desperation, sacrificed him in a money-
making ritual. The money came and all was going rosy for
the wicked brother (uncle?) until the wrath of Willy Willy
decided to return and haunt the entire village, starting off
with taking revenge first on his murderer.
The storyline, believed to be a common practice within many
communities, made the series appear so real that it left a
long-lasting fearful feel. Typical of most moral-teaching
films, the series was plotted such that the ghost of Willy
Willy only attacked people who had exhibited greed or had
bad intentions.
Although there was a form of comical appeal in some
episodes, the seriousness of the series always meant the
moral got more attention with the comical feats rarely
taking away the terror. The after-effect of watching also
provided parents with a virtual babysitter; kids had better
behave lest they summon the powder-faced man in a white
garment - Willy Willy.
Now Imagine If Freddie Kreuger the Dreammaster met
Appearance from NTA Benin horror Show and jason
Voorhees Locked Horns with Willy Willy in a Nollywood vs
Hollywood Royal Horror Rumble ?
Nairaland General“what’s God Got To Do With It?” By Chukwudi Adepoju by Rajman45(op): 5:48pm On Feb 10, 2015
“What’s God got to do with it? Everything, my brother.
Everything!”
“What’s God got to do with it? Absolutely nothing, my guy.
This is business!”
When the Western press says that Nigeria has a Muslim
North, and a Christian South, we vehemently protest it,
letting them know that the lines are not that clean-drawn
between the North and the South; and that we indeed have
huge populations in the North that are definitely Christian
and lots of Muslims in the Southern part as well. I even
volunteer the info that my own Dad, who lived all his life in
the supposedly (only) “Christian South” was himself a
Muslim for most of his youth. What we do not contest
though, is that Nigerians love to be either one or the other. It
is the rule that we belong to either of the two faiths. God
lives in Nigeria, you know. It is a very rare Nigerian indeed
that does not have God in his conversations on a daily
basis.
Our cars carry the bumper stickers, and our homes have the
necessary paraphernalia. Our politicians talk about God at
every opportunity. We are not the sort of people that believe
our God should be kept at home. By my side, by my side...I
have a very big God o.. He’s always by my side... We know
the song, don’t we?
And yet the presence, and at the same time, the
unbelievable absence of God in the life of the Nigerian is one
of the most impossible dichotomies you could ever
encounter anywhere in the world. I explain.
You are introduced to the Nigerian God as soon as you are
born, no matter what faith your parents profess. You have
not been properly named until a Pastor or Imam officiates at
the Christening.
Let us say that your Nigerian parents profess Christianity,
especially of the more insistent pente-rascal type (like me
and my “it-is-not-my-portion” brethren), they start planning
what name(s) to give you long before you are born. Why
not? They believe that “Goodness-and-Mercy Adegbite” is
so much more effective than just an ordinary “Soji
Adegbite”.
On the day of the christening, your Dad’s Uncle comes
around. Yes, that one that is an Ag. Director at the Ministry
of Rigmaroles. He comes bearing gifts. He comes in yet
another brand new Toyota Avensis. The Lord has been
good. In the midst of all the celebrations, and the joy, your
dad takes him aside, and they finalise plans on how to make
sure that the project that the government is about to
advertise for in the newspapers eventually comes to your
Dad. Of course, the usual stunts will be pulled. Full-page
newspaper advertisements, tenders, bill of quantity, opening
of bids, all the works. Everything will be done correctly. Due
process must be followed, you know. Not only does your
great-uncle know that your upwardly mobile dad will try his
(least) best, even though his proposal is not the best, your
dad will make sure that all the stakeholders are adequately
taken care of. The guy is not a ju-man. He knows the right
thing to do.
This being one of many such arran-gee contracts, life will be
comfortable for you and your siblings. Are goodness and
mercy not already following you from birth?
All around you as you grow up, nobody believes too much in
hard work, or the dignity of labour, or any such “arrant
nonsense”. God has done it is the phrase you grow up with.
God has done it, when your Dad’s Uncle, from his public
service salary buys a couple of houses in Dubai. (Yea,
right!).
God has done it when your other cousin gets the money to
“sort” (or in layman terms –bribe) his lecturers who now
unleash him into the society with a Second Class Upper
degree, an unemployable graduate from one of our run-
down ivory towers. But God has done it o, your uncle
(again!) was able to get him that job at XYZ bank. He’s now
building his “cabal”, that elusive funds-deposit target given
to our bankers in the notorious industry that begs the likes
of Jimoh Ibrahim to take a 35billion Naira loan he did not
ask for, but asks small scale entrepreneurs to go and bring
their great grandfather’s mother’s birth certificate before
they can get a much needed expansion loan. And for
thousands of female marketing staff, money for hand, back
for somewhere else has been the order of the day for some
years now. And when promotion comes, by hook and by
crook, (mostly by crook), it is still God has done it that we
say.
What is amazing about this Nigerian God that keeps doing it
is that it seems he does not lead these Nigerians to do other
things like lead lives of integrity and just simple honesty. Or
teach them to not lie on oath, or steal public funds.
It appears that He does not really need us to do anything,
except to pray when we should work, and pay when we
should not.
And don’t we pay our way out of everything?
I have had my driver’s license arranged before, as you have,
as well. True, I did a driving test in 1993 when I got the very
first one, but subsequently, all I needed to do was send my
passport photograph with a few thousands of naira through
Uduak, my mechanic. And in a few days, I get a new one. In
spite of what the law says in Nigeria. The system
encourages you to shine your eye!
Pastor Sam (Adeyemi, of Daystar Christian Center), one of
the few that keeps preaching national rebirth through
honourable living, told a rather sad story a few years ago. A
young Nigerian boy came out of his exam hall, and he
started screaming to his mum that had come to pick him up
after the O’levels, “Mummy, Mummy, that man has
swindled us o! He sold us the wrong leaked exams!” or
words to that effect. He was not aware that buying the exam
papers from anyone was crime enough. He was only
appalled that they had been sold the wrong one.
Unfortunately, that line of thinking is pervasive today. The
younger generation has been told (through our behaviours
and) recently by our president that “Most of these cases
they call corruption are just people stealing!” as if they were
not one and the same. As if each was not an offense that is
worth being thrown in prison for. Oh, he actually said that
on his campaign trail.
We mostly do not see a link between our lack of integrity on
a national scale, and the gradual destruction of our society.
It is convenient that the Nigerian God makes an appearance
when we think about the things we need but He somehow
retreats to Israel or to Mecca when there are things He
needs, like truth, and integrity, and looking after the
vulnerable, and ensuring justice. If you ask Him, He would
rather that we lived right than shout right.
What we also miss is that the real God has made some laws
universal, such that even if we shout “God forbid!”, but we
steal our country blind, someone will die on the roads we
don’t maintain. Some mother will die during childbirth
because we are religious only in our speech, and hardly in
our character, leaving our hospitals as mere “consulting
clinics”.
We are definitely going to reap what we sow, in trailer loads.
It is not a curse o, but the good book says “Righteousness
exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people”. It is
not a curse o, but when we have bribe-able immigration
men, and a leaking treasury, should terrorists attempt to
come through our borders, nothing will stop them in their
tracks. “The Gods are not to blame!” is what Ola Rotimi
said, many years ago. It seems it is us that is doing us.
And this dishonesty is not peculiar to any section of the
country. I have been sold fake items to in Onitsha, and been
extorted from by Lagos’ LASTMA. I have faced extremely
dishonest policemen in Abuja, and my driver’s license was
“bought” in Port Harcourt.
Incidentally, the God they don’t call in Japan ensures that
their trains run on time, while ours take 22 hours between
Lagos and Ilorin, a journey of less than 300km.
The man in the mirror has to CHANGE o, my brother, my
sister. The man in the mirror needs to know that we cannot
continue this way. That he cannot call God’s name when it
is time to ask for votes but forget altogether when it’s time
to declare his assets. The man in the mirror needs know
that there is a strong link between hunger in the land, and
poverty in character of everyone who manages our funds.
Truth be told, the thief came from our midst. They are us.
We are them. We are Goodluck. We are Tinubu. We are
OBJ. We are IBB.
The Ganis, the Olikoyes, and the Tai Solarins are few and
very far between.
The man in the mirror needs to tell himself the home truth,
that when he’s asked what God’s got to do with it, he should
say (in words and in deed), “Everything!”.

Resources, has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to
start preparing his hand-over note because his days in
office as president of Nigeria are numbered.
The reason, according to David-West, is because
Jonathan’s party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will
suffer a humiliating defeat in the hands of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming general
elections.
“Jonathan should quickly look for shoes and go back to
Otuoke. I have shoes in Ibadan and Abuja, I can give him
some if he is in need of shoes.
“Everywhere you go, you see signs that the end of this
government, led by Jonathan, is very near. Honestly, I do
not have anything against him, but a party and a man that
can better manage Nigeria has appeared on the scene, and
we have no choice but to save our country from an
impending doom.”
The elder statesman and Professor of Virology said
Nigerians cannot continue to tolerate a government that is
evidently confused and incapable of providing leadership.
He warned that the drift in almost every sphere of our
national life will continue if Jonathan is not shown the way
out because, according to him, the president lacks the
capacity to lead.

PoliticsWole Soyinka: No One Should Vote For Jonathan-he Has Shown A Total Failure by Rajman45(op): 4:47pm On Feb 05, 2015
N obel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, declared on Thursday
that no one should vote for the continuation of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s government, saying that there has
been a total failure in leadership.
He said he has sixty reasons not to vote for the Jonathan
regime. I will not vote and I will not encourage anyone to vote for
the continuation of this government, simply because your
colleagues numbering over two hundred were kidnapped, ”
Soyinka told students at the 2015 edition of Vision of the
Child (VOTC), a yearly programme inaugurated in 2012.
He said the Chibok girls kidnapped on 14 April of last year
were sent on a mission to acquire an education, but ended
up being kidnapped.
“And the government of this nation failed to show
leadership. So anyone who says after that event that I will
vote or cast my vote or encourage anyone to vote for this
regime must be living in Sambisa forest,” Soyinka said,
referring to a forest in Borno State where the Chibok girls
are believed to be held by Boko Haram.
“There has been a failure of leadership. Our children whom
you represent today have been betrayed,” Soyinka said,
adding that no appropriate action was taken to retrieve
them.
Soyinka said it took the Jonathan government ten days to
even accept that the Chibok girls were even missing.
“After that dereliction of duty, after that failure of leadership,
after that betrayal for our future, for anyone to think or to
put words in my mouth suggesting that I will vote or
encourage anyone to vote for this regime is a travesty of
intelligence, ” Soyinka said.
Soyinka laughed off those who had claimed on the social
media that he was dead, telling journalists at the event that
they should not misquote him. If they do, he added, he will
rise from the dead to correct them.
The 2015 edition of Vision of the Child has for theme “The
Road to Sambisa”.
This year, a total of 250 student participants from 60
primary and secondary schools within Lagos attended the
interview. The age bracket for the participants was 9 to 12
years.
Their entries were assessed by a panel of eminent judges
comprising teachers, artists, child carers and social
workers.
The finalists will be invited on the 7 March to the National
Conversation Foundation Park. Lekki, and provided with
brush, paint and easel, and will be required to illustrate their
literary presentation in the complementary medium painting.
This year, 60 finalists were drawn from 35 schools within
Lagos State, said Foluke George, Festival Secretary and
Programme Manager for the Vision of the Child.

NOW THAT AIT & NTA GOES FULL CIRCLE...Where is the NBC?

RE: THE SOULLESS, WICKED & SHAMELESS TISSUE OF LIES CALLED 'The Real Buhari' DOCUMENTARY.

Documentary: The Lies Of NTA/AIT & GEJ {culled from Barcanista on Nairaland}

As AIT/NTA & GEJ Lies to Nigerians...NOTE THAT!!!

1. Fela NEVER mentioned Buhari in the #2.8B Oil money scandal. He mentioned OBJ. AIT/NTA edited that part off.

2. Buhari did not expel Ghanians from Nigeria. Shagari of the NPN did. AIT made a FALSE assertion.

3. Gloria Okon did not disappear under Buhari it was under IBB and Dele Giwa was murdered for it.

4. GEJ and his campaigners out of frustration went an all time low by bringing Buhari’s daughters into politics. Can one use Dame’s inability to bear a child as a campaign issue?

5. Fela’s mother The GREAT Funmilayo Kuti died after OBJ's Kalakuta invasion in 1978, Buhari came into power in 1984.

6. All the Politicians that were sentenced to prison by the 1984 Military Tribunal were found to have either enriched themselves with public funds, enriched others without due process, and or diverted public funds. Non were convicted by fiat.

7. GEJ and AIT/NTA went after Buhari ’s late wife and daughter. How low and desperate can Jonathan get?

8. AIT/NTA & GEJ alleged that Buhari has been losing since 1999. This is a fat LIE. Buhari's first shot was in 2003. In 1999 Chief Olu Falae of ANPP/AD contested against OBJ.

9. AIT/NTA & GEJ criticized Buhari for Heading PTF Board. Whereas, PTF is till date the most successful parastatal ever in Nigeria. Through PTF, the Amazon Dora Akunyili was known.

CHANGE BECKONS.

Surely the lying PDP propaganda as distasteful and obscene as it is cannot stop the vehicle of CHANGE.

*To AIT, High Chief Dokpesi must not be oblivious of the Law of Karma, standing against the masses who bailed you out when AIT was under, is evil.

Countrymen, indeed the documentary on Buhari will not make him less popular.

PoliticsWe Will Make Surethat Maku Will FAIL For The Rest Ofhis Life - PDP by Rajman45(op): 7:39am On Jan 28, 2015
The Director-General of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, Ahmadu Ali, called the ex Information Minister, Labaran Maku, who dumped the party, “a dangerous boy”.



Labara Maku

Ali also vowed to make sure that Maku, who defected to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), would be failing for the rest of his life, Premium Times reports.

Speaking in Lafia, Nasarawa State, January 27, the official explained how Maku’s move badly influenced  the PDP and lamented that he benefited from the Federal Government only to further dump the ruling party.

“We have a young man who from nowhere was a Deputy Governor of this state for four years, from nowhere he was made a Minister at the federal level for six years, decided to leave the party for another party and keep telling lies that by being in that party, he is helping us.

“He is only going there to reduce our votes. He is a dangerous boy.

“We must make sure that now that he has shown his colour, he will continue failing for the rest of his life unless he retraces his steps back to the elders like us and we will forgive him.”

Ali also urged the people in attendance to support the PDP’s presidential candidate, Goodluck Jonathan, so as other party’s representatives.

READ ALSO: Maku Betrayed Me, Jonathan And PDP – David Mark 

Jonathan also spoke about Maku and dismissed information that he supported Maku’s defection.

“We are told and everybody spoke about that the former Minister of Information that is in another party and saying that it is the President who asked him to go to another party. Definitely I cannot play anti-party.

“PDP is my party and all those who want to help us should come to PDP and work for PDP so that PDP will be in control of Nasarawa State so that government of PDP in Nasarawa State and the Federal Government that will be in the hands of PDP and work together to move Nasarawa State forward.”

The Senate President, David Mark, confirmed Jonathan’s claims and advised the former minister to apologize to the PDP and return.

“And we want to emphasise it; (the) President is body and soul PDP.

READ ALSO: Why Maku Who Defected From PDP Still Agitates For Jonathan

“He can’t, therefore, put somebody in another political party to be campaigning on behalf of another political party.

“How can you be in APGA and be campaigning for the PDP presidential candidate? Return to PDP with apology because before we even take him he has to apologise to all the good people in PDP.’’

It should be recalled that after the defection, the newly-made APGA member many times expressed his full support to GEJ saying that the PDP candidate had positively transformed Nigeria and deserved a second term.

Nigerian troops in Maiduguri today opened fire on the convoy of Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State as the governor approached a military garrison near the airport to visit wounded soldiers.Nigerian troops on patrol near Maiduguri today

Security sources told SaharaReporters that the governor’s protocol unit was to blame for the problem, as they had failed to notify the military authorities about Mr. Shettima’s intention to visit the military facility.

An aide to the governor told SaharaReporters that Mr. Shettima, who was unharmed in the encounter, returned to his office unruffled.

Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, has been under a curfew since yesterday after the city came under a fierce but unsuccessful attack from Islamist Boko Haram fighters. 

Meanwhile, a security source told SaharaReporters that military intelligence had been aware of an impending attack by the Islamist insurgents. He said the military was aware, as far back as last week, that suspected Boko Haram fighters had been massing around New Matse and Jeere areas of Maiduguri in preparation for attacks on Maiduguri and Monguno, a town 85 miles from the Borno State capital. The source wondered why the military did not act preemptively to disperse the fighters before they launched simultaneous attacks against Maiduguri and Monguno. While Nigerian troops were able to repel the insurgents’ operation in Maiduguri, Boko Haram fighters seized the Monguno barracks. 

Many soldiers lost their lives and many more were wounded in yesterday’s operations, but the troops killed more than 100 Islamist insurgents who tried to capture the state capital.

Pentecostal Pastors: "Osinbajo Is
Adeboye's Loyal Son", PDP
Strategists Tell President
Jonathan *Oyedepo in trouble with Obasanjo
over support of incumbent President
*How RCCG leader advised Jonathan,
not to run for a second term. BY EMPOWERED NEWSWIRE, LAGOS
JAN 21, 2015 15 4
0 After last week Thursday's Abuja
meeting with President Goodluck
Jonathan with some Pentecostal
pastors including Bishops David
Oyedepo of Winners Chapel and Felix
Omobude, the PFN president, PDP political strategists are unconvinced
how much the pastors can truly
deliver on their promises to help the
President. Pastor Adeboye Pastor EA Adeboye It would be recalled that at the secret
meeting in Abuja, President Jonathan
confessed, "Osinbajo is my problem."
According to those at the meeting,
the President added, "everything was
okay until APC picked Osinbajo." It is believed that this conclusion was
reached by the President after
extensive discussions with his
political advisers and strategists on
the APC's choice of the law professor
- pastor of the RCCG as General Muhamadu Buhari's running mate. A source at the meeting said while
offers of oil blocks are being made to
some of the top pastors at the
meeting, PDP strategists are warning
the president that General
Muhamadu Buhari's running mate, Pastor Yemi Osinbajo is not just a
senior pastor trained by the General
Overseer of the RCCG, Pastor E.A.
Adeboye, but a beloved spiritual son
of the highly respected religious
leader. The concern of the PDP strategists is
that their promises to support
Jonathan's second term ambition may
not after all hold much water. Said another source, "Adeboye values
loyalty and Osinbajo is widely known
to be very loyal to the General
Overseer of the RCCG." President Jonathan's political
strategists are believed to be looking
for means to break that bond, but the
General Overseer has simply refused
to allow himself to be so politically
encumbered. A source said, for instance, that
Adeboye did not attend the meeting
last Thursday as he has said he would
be apolitical since there are
members of the church in both APC
and PDP. But PDP strategists say coming from the same Pastor who
publicly blessed Jonathan before the
2011 election, that was a sign things
have changed. Perhaps not sure of the kind of
reception, Jonathan himself had last
month stayed away from the
December 2014 Holy Ghost
Congress, the same event in 2010
where "Daddy G.O" , as he is fondly called by RCCG members, had
publicly blessed him. Only a minister
from his government, Dr. Tammy
Wenike Danagogo, Sports Minister
was in attendance and being an
RCCG member, the minister was not introduced as representing Jonathan
at the event. One of the very close pastors to the
RCCG leader said Jonathan's absence
from that event " was a mistake on
the president's part." Some PDP members also point to the
public appearance of Pastor Adeboye
with General Buhari at the New Year
thanksgiving service of Lagos State
as proof that Adeboye will not
abandon his spiritual children whenever they need him. The PDP
strategists are also reminding
President Jonathan that Adeboye
okayed it that Osinbajo should accept
the offer of a running mate from
General Buhari even before it was eventually decided and announced by
General Buhari. An RCCG inside source said "Pastor
Adeboye is known to have helped
some of his pastors and spiritual sons
even when they err and fall into
troubles, why then do you think, he
will not do everything to help his loyal pastor who is being promoted in
answer to his prayers." The source said in training many of
his pastors several years back,
Pastor Adeboye had always given
them his word that he would
personally be there for them in their
hour of need, a promise he has endured to fulfill even under very
challenging circumstances.
There is therefore an acute confusion
among PDP Campaign leaders, and
the president's advisers on the
effectiveness of the secret meeting
held last week with the pastors,
especially after SAHARAREPORTERS broke the story, and exposing the
division among the pastors who
attended. Now, President Jonathan is being
advised to do more, possibly to reach
out directly to the General Overseer
for a more public outing with him as
the elections draw near. For instance,
they cited the impact of Pastor Adeboye's presence a the President's
adopted daughter's wedding
ceremony earlier this January 2015 in
Abuja. It is believed that after his
public appearance with General
Buhari earlier in January at the annual thanksgiving service,
Adeboye's visit to the wedding in the
president's family restored some
hope of his "neutrality." However inside sources at the RCCG
say Pastor Adeboye is not very
particularly enamoured of President
Jonathan because as the source
disclosed "the president has not been
as obedient to Pastor Adeboye as one would expect." For instance, the source said
Adeboye had asked Jonathan, not to
run for a second term, and instead
choose to support someone else, but
Jonathan said ok, but still went ahead
to run. This happened even before Osinbajo's name was mentioned as a
serious potential running mate. Others say Adeboye's close
relationship with Obasanjo, is another
reason he could not possibly support
the president the way he did in 2011. On the other hand, there are those
on the APC side who think that Pastor
Adeboye should do more, now that a
very senior pastor he personally
loves and counsels is on the
presidential ticket, a first in the history of RCCG, the fastest growing
church in Africa. APC members also discount Pastor
Adeboye's attendance at the recent
Jonathan 's daughter's wedding in
Abuja, saying even former President
Olusegun Obasanjo was there. Meanwhile, Bishop David Oyedepo
may have run into trouble with
former President Olusegun Obasanjo
over his role in the secret meeting
with other PFN pastors in Abuja last
week. A source revealed after the news of
the meeting became public
knowledge that it was Obasanjo who
had saved Oyedepo's neck when he
ran foul of the law in Ogun State and
the APC Governor Ibikunle Amosun's government was perfecting his arrest
and prosecution. Bishop Oyedepo's aides had assaulted
some state government staff who
were on visitation to one of the
schools owned by the Bishop for
assessment. It was alleged that it was
Oyedepo who ordered the assault on the officials, provoking the
government to threaten legal and
criminal charges against him. In the circumstances, Oyedepo
reportedly ran to Obasanjo, who then
asked him to come over right away
to his residence, where the former
president also invited Governor
Amosun to amicably resolve the matter. A source said Obasanjo may have
been disappointed that despite
Oyedepo's personal knowledge of his
disavowal of Jonathan, the Bishop
was still working hard to support his
second term ambition.

Give Us The Names Of Leaders Who Collected N750m Bribe– PDP Dares EFCC The Director of Media and Publicity of
the Peoples Democratic Party
Presidential Campaign Organisation,
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has vowed
to defend the corruption allegation
against him. Also, the national leadership of the
PDP has urged the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission to be
diligent in the party’s investigation of
the allegation that some members of
its National Working Committee collected a whopping N750m bribe
from Mr. Ndudi Elumelu. Elumelu, a PDP governorship aspirant
in Delta State, had alleged that the
money was collected from him with a
promise that he would be given the
party’s governorship ticket in the
state. But speaking on the matter, the
National Publicity Secretary of the
party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, said the EFCC
must be able to unravel those who
collected the money. He said, “If any member of this party
participated in the issue, let the law
takes its course. Let the EFCC charge
those involved to court. We will not
tolerate anyone who is corrupt.
Monies were paid into an account at least with what I have read in some
newspapers. “That is a concrete evidence. Let the
EFCC use that to trace how the
money was disbursed. The law
enforcement should act on this.” Also, Fani-Kayode, while reacting to
allegation made by a Lagos lawyer,
Mr. Festus Keyamo, that the former
minister was not qualified to be in the
President Jonathan Goodluck’s
campaign team because of the fraud case, said he was ready to prove his
innocence in the graft suit. Kayode is currently being prosecuted
by the EFCC for alleged corruption
while in office. Keyamo, who is the prosecutor in the
matter, said with Fani-Kayode’s
appointment, President Jonathan had
shown that he was not interested in
fighting corruption. He, therefore, asked Nigerians to
reject Jonathan during the February
14 presidential election. But in his reaction in Abuja on
Monday, Fani-Kayode in a statement
signed by his Special Assistant on
Media, Mr. Sufuyan Ojeifo, said he
was waiting for the next adjourned
date of his trial to clear himself. Ojeifo said, “They initially claimed
that he (Fani-Kayode) stole N19.5bn
of the Aviation Intervention Fund but
this was thrown out by the courts for
want of evidence. “After that, in 2008, Keyamo filed a
bogus 47-count money laundering on
behalf of the Farida Waziri-led EFCC
in which he claimed that Chief Fani-
Kayode had laundered N200m. “In 2014, he reduced it to a 40-count
charge and reduced the amount that
was allegedly laundered from N200m
to N99m. Earlier this year, 38 of
those 40 counts, which collectively
represented N97m, were thrown out by the court for want of evidence. “The remaining two counts, which
represent N1m each, will be
defended on February 23rd and 24th.
Chief Fani-Kayode looks forward to
that date because he is innocent and
he has every confidence in God and the Nigerian judiciary.” He said that what people like
Keyamo failed to appreciate was that
the days of prosecuting people on the
pages of newspapers without any
hard evidence and trying to
intimidate innocent people with the EFCC were long over. On the one month suspension
slammed on the former National
Chairman of the party, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur by the party, Metuh
said that he was now free to
participate in the PDP’s activities. source Short URL: http:// www.osundefender.org/?p=207206
PoliticsOsinbajo Is My Problem”-president Jonathan Cries Out by Rajman45(op): 4:57pm On Jan 19, 2015
Osinbajo, a prominent cleric with the
Redeemed Christian Church of God,
law professor and Senior Advocate of
Nigeria, SAN emerged APC's
presidential running mate last month
giving President Jonathan and the ruling party, PDP, what is being
described as sleepless nights, by
sources. Specifically last Thursday, the
President held a meeting in Abuja,
with a number of Pentecostal pastors
led by Bishop David Oyedepo of
Winners Chapel, with the main
agenda being how to fashion out ways to solve the "Osinbajo"
problem. Sources at the meeting confirmed
that President Jonathan confessed in
a rather rattled and humbling
manner that "Osinbajo is my
problem." According to those at the meeting,
the President added that "everything
was okay until APC picked Osinbajo." This is coming against the
background of wild speculations that
APC is an Islamist party and that
General Buhari is a religious
fundamentalist-which has become
one of the main planks of the PDP presidential campaign. While PDP
chieftains and supporters have
continued to characterize APC as an
Islamist party, APC leaders have
consistently dismissed such as
unfounded, baseless and a scare tactic by the PDP. Many observers say the nomination
of a prominent Pentecostal pastor
from the fastest growing church in
Africa by the APC may have
effectively doused such speculations
and the attempt to label the party as one with an islamization agenda. There has been a rather conscious
attempt to make next month's
presidential polls a religious one
especially in the Southern part of the
country where there is a much larger
Christian population, observers say. At the meeting organized by the
Executive Secretary of the National
Christian Pilgrims Commission
(NCPC) John Kennedy Okpara,
President Jonathan poured out his
mind that running against a leading Pastor of the RCCG, who is also
known to be very close to the much
reverred General Overseer of the
church, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, is an
uphill task. Sources at the meeting, said Jonathan
was ruffled and much distracted as
he confessed to the challenge to him,
of the APC naming such a person as
Osinbajo as General Buhari's running
mate. In response, the Pastors led by Bishop
Oyedepo assured the President at the
meeting that they would, "starting
from today," use every device
possible including social media, the
pulpit and influence peddling, to campaign in support of President
Jonathan and against the Buhari-
Osinbajo ticket. Before the meeting with the
President, sources said the pastors
held a meeting on the same day to
strategize and agree on how and
what they would present to the
president. At that pre-meeting, some
Pentecostal pastors suggested that
they use the opportunity of the
meeting afforded by the President to
express their genuine fears on
growing insecurity in the North with Boko Haram killing and attacking
Christians and other innocent
Nigerians. But Bishop David Oyedepo, the most
influential pastor at the meeting
interrupted the idea, insisting that the
meeting was to encourage and
strengthen President Jonathan ahead
of the elections and not to discuss compelling national issues of concern
to majority of Nigerians. While some of the pastors were
shocked and disappointed that Bishop
Oyedepo would not allow them to
raise important issues bothering most
Nigerians, they decided to keep silent
not to be seen as spoilsports. And later after meeting the
president, the pastors gathered
together again on the same day to
device strategies they will use to
campaign against Buhari/Osinbajo,
with the main scheme being to label the ticket as an Islamist one. Some of the pastors also suggested
that they can influence Christians
that the position of Vice President is
not an effective one, and that having
a Christian hold it makes no
difference, although the Nigerian constitution and the order of
precedence makes the office the
next in rank to the president. Indeed as if carrying out the resolve,
members of the Winners Chapel said
Bishop Oyedepo has already started
using the pulpit to achieve the goals
set out at last Thursday meeting in
Abuja. Some of the members said yesterday
Sunday January 18, Bishop Oyedepo
raised a prayer point that an Islamist
would not become the President of
Nigeria in the polls coming next
month to the chagrin of many of the church attendants on Sunday.

PoliticsGovernor Fayose Places Death-wish Advert On Buhari by Rajman45(op): 12:28pm On Jan 19, 2015
Nigerians woke up this morning to a provocative advert placed in major
print newspapers across Nigeria by
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti
state practically wishing death on
General Muhammad Buhari (rtd), the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Governor Ayodele Fayose's advert
placed in national newspapers today The advert which were placed on the
front pages of Punch, the Guardian
and several other national
newspapers, titled “Nigerians Be
Warned” started with a quote from
the book of Deuteronomy in the bible talking about life and death. Fayose then listed three former
Nigerian head of states from the
Northwestern part of Nigeria, who
have died tragically and the placed
Buhari at the end with a question
mark placed over his photograph. The advert followed several
desperate efforts by operatives of
President Jonathan to hang a
prostrate cancer diagnosis on Buhari
over the last few days. The group
went as far as concocting a laboratory report claiming Buhari had
been diagnosed with prostate cancer
at the Ahmadu Bello University
Teaching Hospital. The hospital later
denied the existence of the
laboratory report and its writer.
