The panel investigating the allegations levelled against governor of Adamawa state, Murtala Nyako and deputy governor, Mr. Bala Ngilari, by the state house of assembly concluded its sitting on Saturday without the governor and his deputy. The seven-man panel constituted by the acting chief judge of the state, Justice Amnrose Mammadi, began its sitting on Friday and adjourned till Saturday, following the absence Nyako and Ngilari. On Friday, the panel listened to counsels of the assembly as they tendered exhibits such as video clips that the men under investigation were to defend. But at the resumed sitting on Saturday, neither the governor nor his deputy showed up. After waiting in vain for the representatives of the governor and his deputy, the panel watched a video clip tendered as ‘Exhibit Y’. It also cross examined the only witnessed presented by the House, Mr Wafarninyi Theman, chairman of the house committee chairman on public account. Counsel to the assembly, Mr. Hussaini Maidawa and Mr Leonard Nzadon, led evidence and concluded their respective presentations. The counsel urged the panel to take their applications against the governor and deputy governor as a proven case of the allegations of gross misconduct raised in view of the absence of any contrary argument. Responding, chairman of the panel, Malam Buba Kaigama, said the panel would take its time to objectively examine the presentations and other evidences provided by the assembly and present its position on a later date. Kaigama announced that although the respondents failed to appear, the panel had concluded its assignment having heard from the assembly, being one of the parties involved in the matter. http://m.premiumtimesng.com/news/164809-nyakos-impeachment-investigative-panel-concludes-hearing-as-governor-deputy-fail-to-appear.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nyakos-impeachment-investigative-panel-concludes-hearing%e2%80%8e-as-governor-deputy-fail-to-appear |
The federal government yesterday revealed that identity cards belonging to some top politicians as well as party materials were found in the Boko Haram terrorists’ base in Balmo Forest in the Darazo local government area of Bauchi State. It said that the items recovered during the last operations carried out by security forces to dislodge terrorists from their forest bases had linked some politicians and political parties to terrorism. The coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, disclosed this while briefing journalists on government’s efforts towards the rescue of the abducted Chibok girls. Omeri, who was silent on the details of the development, however vowed that the federal government will reveal the names of the politicians and parties involved, as the matter is still under investigation. Omeri further said, “Investigation is still ongoing to further unravel the identity of others that may have been involved and as soon as it is completed, we shall reveal the names of the culprits and the political parties.” He said, “Some politicians are currently being investigated following their link with terrorist activities in the forest.” He said that the government would not condone the involvement of politicians in security matters. Speaking on the release of the abducted Chibok girls, Omeri said efforts are being made to bring the girls back safely. He, however, said the details cannot be revealed for now owing to the delicate nature of the operations. www.sunnewsonline.net/news/top-politicians-id-cards-party-materials-found-in-boko-haram-camp |
Engr. Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola was born in the month of May, 1957. He had his primary and secondary education in Ondo State , and later attended The Polytechnic , Ibadan , where he studied Mechanical Engineering and graduated in 1980 . As a pupil in the primary school , Rauf was a centre -point around whom his mates hovered for guidance and direction . As a student, he was focused for remarkable performance which he made distinctively and seamlessly . In the Polytechnic , he positioned himself to conquer his environment by engaging in prolific studies. The career man Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Management ( FNIM) , Fellow of Nigerian Society of Engineers ( FNSE) , Fellow of the Nigerian Association of Technological Engineers ( FNATE) and Fellow of the Certified Marketing Communications Institute of Nigeria ( FCMCIN ) , Rauf Aregbesola has a wealth of experience garnered through wide exposure in the private sector , such as the Nigerian External Telecommunications, now renamed Nigerian Telecommunications Ltd . and Lagos Airport Hotel , before establishing his own Engineering Services Company , Aurora Nigeria Limited , in 1986. The company had handled numerous major projects for both government and private organisations in most States of the Federation. The politician Politically, Rauf has been no less a phenomenon . His involvement in politics dates back to his undergraduate days when he was Speaker of the Students ’ Parliament ( 1977 /78) , The Polytechnic, Ibadan , and the President of the Black Nationalist Movement ( 1978- 1980 ) . He was also an active supporter of other progressive students ’ movements nationwide, which earned him , for instance, the life membership of National Association of Technological Students . In June 1990 , he became an elected delegate to the SDP Inaugural Local Government Area Congress. In July of the same year, he was also a delegate to its first National Convention in Abuja . Rauf Aregbesola , as a pro - democracy and human rights activist , was a major participant in the demilitarisation and pro - democracy struggles of the 1990s . Prior to his appointment as the Lagos State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure ( 1999 -2007 ) , he was Director of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Campaign Organisation ( BATCO) , which engineered the electoral victory of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the Governor of Lagos State in 1999 . He performed similar feat using the platform of Independent Campaign Group ( ICG) to ensure the re- election of Asiwaju for a second term in office. The Commissioner Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola acquitted himself excellently as Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure in Lagos State between 1999 and 2007 with the strength of his commitment to selfless service . His diligence, sincerity and tirelessness in the administration of the vast Ministry of Works and Infrastructure , as well as supervision of the Public Works Corporation and State Electricity Board, has been acknowledged as being responsible for the outstanding success recorded by the Tinubu administration , especially in road rehabilitation / maintenance and street lighting ; and achievement that solidly laid the foundation for the actualisation of Lagos as the model of development and good governance as being sustained by Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola today . Indeed, it is a known fact that he is one of the brains behind the infrastructural re - engineering that has now resulted in the transformation of social amenities in Lagos State . Some of the novel achievements and innovations due to Aregbesola ’ s visionary qualities and enterprise include the redefinition and application of new aesthetic standards to ministry blocks and offices as corporate workplaces ; vision and mission definition , annual staff retreats and modern manpower capacity building trainings; introduction of facility management practices ; pioneering achievements in PR ( ministry journal ) and IT ( website ) operation; Pioneering Private/ Public Sector Partnership Ventures ; Award- winning best practices projects ; etc. The believer and advocate of the rule of law Aregbesola ’ s belief in the sanctity of the rule of law is exemplary. Engr. Rauf Aregbesola , on the platform of the then Action Congress ( AC ) contested for the Governorship of Osun State in the April 2007 elections , and won . To be so declared, however , took close to four years of what must go down as one of the most titanic mandate recovery legal battles of all time , and a moment for the manifestation of the omnipotence of the Almighty God and his steadfastness in support of those who rely on him. Having gone through the tribunal of first instance, an appeal and a retrial tribunal , the second appeal court, delivering judgment on October 26, 2010, declared Aregbesola governor and ordered he be sworn in the next day. Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola , since assuming office as Governor of the State of Osun on October 27 , 2010 , has redefined the meaning of governance in the public sector , not just with symbolic posturing , but real and sustainable interventions that will presently enhance the quality of life of everyone that lives or works in the State of Osun . Rebranding of the state as the ipinle Omoluabi ( State of the Virtuous ) started from himself, adopting the title Ogbeni , simply Mister, in deference to the singular Excellency of the Almighty God. In just over a year , the chronicle of his achievements is astounding, and may be summarised as a chain of “O -Models”, the most astonishing been the engagement of 20 , 000 youth in the Osun Youth Empowerment Scheme within his first 100 days in office; an accomplishment without precedence that has become the model for others to follow . The strategist /visionary Rauf is a born strategist . Throughout his life , whether as a pupil, student or career man ; political appointee or Governor, Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola has applied the art and science of strategy to ensure success in all endeavours in which he is engaged. He strategised and was outstanding as a student. He strategised and was efficient and effective as a career man . He strategised and was accomplished as a grassroots politician . He strategised and was excellent as a commissioner in Lagos State . He strategised to reclaim his mandate when he was rigged out in the race to offer selfless service to the good people of Osun . He strategised to lay a sound foundation for a regenerated Osun State knowing that sustainable development does not happen with ‘ quick fix ’ methods , tools , and techniques. He is strategising to position Osun and the good people of the state appropriately in the geo- economic milieu of Nigeria . He is a fervent believer in the dictum that strategists do not fail and so will not fail the people of Osun . Committed to a better, egalitarian society , Aregbesola , though fully anxious to build a society with massive physical infrastructures that promote better living , believes in first pursuit of those human values that can pave the way for the emergence of that total man , who is socially responsible . Hence his dogged pursuit of programmes extra - curricular schemes, such as the Calisthenics , Omoluabi Boys and Girls Club, and other schemes aimed at re -orientating the youths to channel their energies towards a society where the promotion of the common , collective goods will dominate the crazy pursuit of the good of the self . He stirs the hornet’ s nests often ; but , these are in his determined attempts to break the norms to achieve extra - ordinary results . To date , he has ignited debates on federalism , restructuring of education towards functionality , equity, justice and fairness in all spheres of life . Even in the face of mounting criticisms, he holds tenaciously to his ideas , convinced that oppositions to them are products of long years of military rule, ignorance of what is even good for humanity and the acute manipulative capacities of those whose interest it is to keep the ordinary people perpetually subjugated . The family man An exemplary family man , Rauf Aregbesola is a loving husband and caring father . Married to Alhaja Sherifat Aregbesola , he has nurtured his family with equal devotion and commitment. For these reasons, he is a thinker , ardent performer, a visionary leader , a transformational leader, an agent of strategic change, a man for the people ; Ogbeni Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola , Governor of the State of Osun . |

Inspite of the counsel below, Mr. Ogbeni is still calling workers "Olori buruku" in an open air campaign in Ikirun; brocast live on TV & Radio 24/6/14. This is unfortunate!!!. It is high time ALL workers are sensitise thru their various unions that they are not "Olori buruku". ANY WORKER or his acquitances that vote for Ogbeni has accepted that name calling. There are no doubts that you've got good achievement in terms of infrastructural development but U need to be more diplomatic (or democratic) and I believed that lack of enough of this made Dr Fayemi to lose his re-election bid. Listen to people's voice! You are running a democratic government but not military. The roads, etc you constructed wont go to polling stations. The people will! That was what chased Akande out of Abere despite that he was the best governor that Oyo and Osun ever had after Bola Ige. The same fate has befallen Dr Fayemi. Treat workers with respect and as nicely as possible and achievable. Workers have exponential votes. 20,000 workers are sufficient to vote you out because each worker has, at least, 6 dependants (children, parents, g.parents, etc). This is equivalent to losing 120,000 votes from workers alone. That exactly was what ruined Fayemi ... ....BE WARNED! [9:46am,6/25/2014] Aregbesola as a DESPOTIC RULER A despotic ruler is the one who governs with an iron fist, cares little about the welfare of the people and imposes his will upon them. 1.

He fails to pay gratuities and pensions of retirees saying they are closer to their graves. 24. He pulls down Fakunle Comprehensive High School even when we kicked against it. 25. He refuses to conduct LG elections throughout his tenure and says we are ignorant. 26. He tars a kilometer of road for N1 billion and asks us to praise him. 27. He appoints over 200 aides from Lagos and says Osun people are ignoramus. 28. He litters our roads and streets with bill- boards and posters, saying we must worship them. 29. He creates religion dichotomy and tells us to commit murder if we so desire. 30. He makes our traditional rulers nonentities and makes them kiss their stools. 31.He refuses to pay the lecturer salary and put the student on over 5months indefinite strike and still expect the student to give him second term in office.

Akpos was arrested in Lagos by a group of Lastma officials for driving on the BRT Lane. His car was fined N5,000. Upon all the begging and pleadings, the LASTMA officials refused to release the car. Akpos asked; Okay, may i know where you are towing my car to?. One of the LASTMA officials replied; we are taking it to Alausa. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….. Akpos laughed. All the LASTMA officials were surprised and paid attention to him, wanting to know why he was laughing. Immediately, Akpos brought out his phone and started speaking; “Abu Qaqa Ina Kwana!” (Good morning in Hausa). ‘No sir!’ “Not less than 30minutes before it will explode!. The car has been arrested…..” “Only 20 out of those new bombs are inside the car.” “They are taking the car to the targeted destination, “Alausa”. I’m coming back to Sokoto alive now. “Thank You Sir”. Greet other faithfuls for me. He said and rounded off his imaginary call. He looked around, no LASTMA officials was in sight. He entered his car and sped off, saying; shege, dan burouba shege. Hit Like if u understand |
You might also like •Ex-Oyo gov. doubts PDP will survive crisis •’My problem with Ajimobi, Alao-Akala’ By Bashir Adefaka Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja is a big name who made a fortune in business. Despite his status, the high chief of Ibadan, however, lives an incredibly simple lifestyle such that an unsuspecting onlooker would place him among peasant farmers. To further justify our curiosity, the former governor of Oyo State was described, during Sunday Vanguard’s visit to his Bodija GRA, Ibadan home on Tuesday, 10 December, 2013, by one of his loyalists as an enigma in politics. Ladoja made his money through many ways: an engineer, a farmer whose food crops are sold not only to the people of Oyo State but also beyond, a shipping company owner and generally a business mogul. His lifestyle falls below his worth. A sampler: A friend who visited him had an experience to share on how Ladoja’s simplicity confused him while trying to locate his house on arrival. The man, another money bag, came from Port Harcourt where he lived. Personal Assistant on Domestic Affairs to the former governor told the rest of the story: “The man’s home in Port Harcourt is like the Presidential Villa. He had phoned Ogathat he was coming to meet him in Ibadan. The address was given to him and, as he landed at the Ibadan airport, he drove straight to Ondo Street where Ogalives. He found it difficult to locate the house. “We had to come outside and stood on the road in front of the house for the visiting friend to know that the place he had passed several times was former Governor Ladoja’s residence. He told us that the modest nature of the house confused him and that he had expected something uncommon,” narrated Alhaji Mutiu. Whereas a sitting governor would amass cars and property, Ladoja, it was gathered, right from his days in office as governor, decided to live a life of simplicity. ‘I feel comfortable living a simple life’ Even when the former governor dresses, most of the time he is clad in Ankara Ladoja, who admitted that people called him Baba Alankara due to his choice of Ankara dresses, told Sunday Vanguard the story of how his tour of Benin Republic, with Chief Olusegun Obasanjo when both leaders were governor and President respectively, influenced the coming of Ankara dress into his style. He said, “I have been wearing Ankara particularly when I was governor of Oyo State and Obasanjo was President of Nigeria. We both travelled to Benin Republic. Obasanjo was wearing Ankara and I remember the President of that country at that time, Kereku, telling his people, ‘Look at the President of the greatest nation in this region. He is wearing Ankara. You people have been wasting your money buying imported fabric. His country is rich and he himself is rich yet he chooses to live simple by wearing what is produced in his country.” That was when I saw the sense in what he said and I decided to stick to my wearing of Ankara manufactured in Nigeria. “But all along, dressing so gorgeously does not really make you a big or important person. I feel more comfortable dressing the simple way I do.” Asked how he was coping living a simple lifestyle despite his billions, Ladoja said, jovially, “What does that mean? Do you think I have a billion naira in my account (laughs)? You see, there are certain things to which you don’t really have to attach too much importance. You can’t sleep in more than one room. If I want to eat, I don’t eat more than my stomach can take. I do not see myself in the light of what you are talking about. If you have money, what matters is how much you spend the money to improve the lives of others. What is important as far as I am concerned is to use my money to create opportunities for other people to grow. That is the way I look at life rather than flaunting your wealth recklessly to prove your status. I don’t think it is good enough.” Ladoja’s home is a place where many people visit without being looked down upon. Bird are not left out as the residence is home to many parrots, ostrich, among others. As the interview started, some of the birds shrieked so loud the noise interrupted the session. What did the owner (Ladoja) say? He said: “They don’t know why you are here. That is why they are shrieking.” Then the interview resumed. “So, the fact that you are a billionaire is not a reason for you to be extravagant or to begin to acquire what you don’t need. God has given the money to all of us that have it to better the lives of those who do not have.” Lunch Journalists are always at home with Ladoja. No wonder, despite all he suffered in the hands of his immediate successor, Otunba Adebayo Alao- Akala, and incumbent Governor Abiola Ajimobi, he remains in the good books of the media. He is jovial, accommodating and simple. Just before the last visit, he had put this reporter by his side in his own car, introduced him to the top aides in his entourage and drove with him through the streets of Ibadan ending up treating him, among other people, to lunch in his residence. Tuesday December 10, 2013 was another day of simplicity display by the former governor, who never hid his soft spot for Vanguard. “Vanguard is my own paper and Uncle Sam is a good friend. Say me well to him any time you see him,” he said. The assignment by Sunday Vanguard was to do a 24-Hour Report on him. But the former governor, through his top aide, Lanre Ogundipe, wanted to accommodate other journalists who had requested for an interview. The Sunday Vanguard’s reporter was still far away, on his way to Ibadan from Lagos, when a call from Ladoja’s residence to his phone came. “Bashir, where are you? Are you nearby? Okay, all is set; we will wait for you,” the voice said. The top aide of the former governor stood at the gate to receive me and led me, through the line of people sitting in the compound, into the presence of Oga. The Ibadan based farmer stretched his hand for a handshake and the interview commenced. ‘I doubt if PDP will survive crisis’ On politics, Ladoja started by giving an update of membership registration exercise of his party, Accord. He also spoke on the PDP would not survive its crisis, the travails of Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, why the INEC’s Attahiru Jega must not fail Nigerians come 2015 and why the reconciliation between him and his erstwhile deputy, Adebayo Alao-Akala failed. His words, “The Accord membership registration exercise was a success. Actually the way it went, people that were registered appeared to have done so because of the interest they have in our party because we have up to 10,000 members per ward. So, it was a successful exercise and there has been tremendous progress.” On the PDP crisis, he said, “When we founded the PDP, our intention was to make it a popular party, but, along the line, in 1999, the party was hijacked by some undemocratic forces. But somehow we had been managing everything. The President at that time wanted to be the leader of the party whereas our intention was to have a party that will be controlled by the people, not the party controlling the people. That is what Tukur is trying to do, to restore the normal hierarchy in the party and so the governors, who felt they should control the party but were not allowed to continue to control the party, started to make trouble with the chairman. That is the cause of the entire crisis you see going on in the party and I do not see the PDP being able to survive the crisis. Founding objectives “The PDP has totally lost focus. It has abandoned its founding objectives and the party is now peopled with politicians who are opposed to the principles of democracy. Tukur came in to correct these ills but I think he is seeing more than he expected. How far can he alone go amidst those people who are in the party only for their self aggrandizement at the expense of the Nigerian people? It is difficult. May be God will be kind to us one day such that we can have democrats in the majority in the party because whatever they do largely affects the country.” Despite the controversy which dogged his leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, particularly due to the hitches recorded in the electoral umpire’s handling of the Anambra State governorship election, Ladoja said Professor Attahiru Jega was still not only credible but also that he means well for Nigeria. The former governor likened his impeachment in 2006 to the current travails of Amaechi, stressing that governance must have stopped in the state since the beginning of the crisis as the Rivers governor would be battling to save his political career. He said the recent partnership between him and his successor, Alao-Akala, was not working because the latter was not willing to leave the PDP to join Accord. “Alao-Akala approached me to ask if we could work together. We did not even talk about what happened in the past. Yesterday is gone. We can only learn lessons from it to plan for tomorrow. All I want is to work for the benefit of Oyo State. We set up a committee but personal interests changed many things. Bayo (Alao-Akala) is not ready to get out of PDP due to the privileges the party enjoys. Our party, Accord, does not have any privilege to offer. As far as I am concerned, our doors are open,”Ladoja said. “PDP has factions and we cannot concentrate on only one of the factions while others are moving and the Alao-Akala group is not showing enough commitment. We know what we want. Our doors are open at all times to whoever wants to work with us or join us.” ‘Ajimobi is a fake dreamer’ The former governor took on Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi, who recently described him as a dreamer. Ladoja admitted dreaming but that while he was a real and positive dreamer in a way that transformed Oyo State infrastructure, education, health and agriculture during his tenure of office, Ajimobi is a fake dreamer, whose purported dream for the people of the state never came to fruition. His words: “Ajimobi, my cousin, called me a dreamer. I know I am a dreamer but where my dreams had come to pass while in office, he has remained a dreamer whose dream for Oyo State people never came to reality. “I dreamed about agricultural revolution and I did it by distributing tractors to farmers which boosted food production for the people. I dreamed about dualisation of Mokola/Sango road which I did. I dreamed about dualisation of Iwo Road, which I did. I dreamed about having an Oyo State school where one class would have 30 children and it came to pass because I did. Today America is talking about 15 children per class but I started something close during my administration so much so that we ranked second to Katsina State by SUBEB rating. The Mokola bridge that he couldn’t do well, I dreamed of it. It was my dream but which I did not have the time on my side to do before I left office. Instead of him to come and ask what that dream entails and how to go about it, he is calling me a dreamer.” Inside Ladoja’s home Many theories have been propounded about why many people hanged around the late Lamidi Adedibu’s Molete residence during his days. Most important of those theories revolved around the amala that he offered, which meant that people could die for the late father of amala politics. But in the case of Ladoja, those who spoke to Sunday Vanguard said they not only loved him but that they also had undiluted loyalty to him. One of them said, “Many big men have clothes and their clothes are very elegant. For Ladoja, his own clothes are the people. Now, it is clear to all doubting Thomases that Ladoja’s popularity transcends Government House. “It is over six years now that he left office. See the number of people still hanging around him.” |
The remains of Prophet Ajanaku the former pastor of popular Nigeria gospel singer (Tope Alabi) and founder of Christ Revival Victory Chapel International Lagos who on August 22nd 2013, will be finally buried on July 17th 2014. Before now, her wife Joy Ajanaku and some elders of the church had refused to bury him because they were convinced he will rise again. However, after eleven solid months, they have accepted that once a man is really dead, he's really dead. And just as it is destined that men die only once, and after that comes Judgement. Joy Ajanaku explained why she chose to bury her husband on the said date. Read below what she told City People; How do you intend to move this ministry forward? It won’t be by my power or might but by the grace of God of Elijah Ajanaku, I will surely move forward. My husband is in me and both of us are in God. He made me to be close to God. Though I was a Christian by birth but I was not born-again, I didn’t know whom Jesus Christ is until I came across him. He showed and took me to God. He made me love serving God and do the Will of God. I believe he is not dead like I said. I will continue to say that. Continue below... No matter who you are if you call him a late Prophet, I will correct you immediately. No matter your position on earth, I will correct you immediately. What you call man of God is not the body but spirit. God said those that will worship me must do that in the spirit. God has nothing to do with the body. If spirit can walk without the body and the body can not do anything, my husband is alive. Don’t you think his shoes are too big for you? I believe that since I am in my husband and he is in me and both of us are in God, everything is possible. Even after his body slept, lots of miracles have taken place. I used to say he is not around bodily. If he is dead, no miracles would have been taking place and many calamities would have befell us. The legacy that he left behind, God in his mercy will let me sustain it. If he is dead, his ministry would have been shut down. What will you miss about him? A lot. In terms of spiritual aspect, I believe I still enjoy his grace. I will miss him a lot. Is it the way he calls me… Nobody can use his tone, I find solace in the fact that he is a man of God. I am not mourning. There is no mourning in the Kingdom of God. That is why we are not crying. How supportive are your husband’s family? I don’t have any grudges against them. It took you 11 months to bury him, why is it so? Well, Ajanaku himself picked this day July 17. It is part of what I discovered in me. Its is part of his misery that made me say that he has what other men of God don’t have. 7 is a perfect number. Everything about his life had something in common with 7. I know it is not a coincidence. It is divine ordination from God Almighty. Like his date of birth, his house address where we were was number 17. All the tenants in the house were 17. The land where we have the house was given to him. That was the only land that we have on the street and why is it 17. The church address is 17 too. That is how God has been handling his life. |

What you call man of God is not the body but spirit. God said those that will worship me must do that in the spirit. God has nothing to do with the body. If spirit can walk without the body and the body can not do anything, my husband is alive. Don’t you think his shoes are too big for you? I believe that since I am in my husband and he is in me and both of us are in God, everything is possible. Even after his body slept, lots of miracles have taken place. I used to say he is not around bodily. If he is dead, no miracles would have been taking place and many calamities would have befell us. The legacy that he left behind, God in his mercy will let me sustain it. If he is dead, his ministry would have been shut down. What will you miss about him? A lot. In terms of spiritual aspect, I believe I still enjoy his grace. I will miss him a lot. Is it the way he calls me… Nobody can use his tone, I find solace in the fact that he is a man of God. I am not mourning. There is no mourning in the Kingdom of God. That is why we are not crying. How supportive are your husband’s family? I don’t have any grudges against them. It took you 11 months to bury him, why is it so? Well, Ajanaku himself picked this day July 17. It is part of what I discovered in me. Its is part of his misery that made me say that he has what other men of God don’t have. 7 is a perfect number. Everything about his life had something in common with 7. I know it is not a coincidence. It is divine ordination from God Almighty. Like his date of birth, his house address where we were was number 17. All the tenants in the house were 17. The land where we have the house was given to him. That was the only land that we have on the street and why is it 17. The church address is 17 too. That is how God has been handling his life. http://viewgist..com/2014/07/after-11months-of-keeping-his-body-in.html?m=1 |

Where are the closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras that purportedly gulped $470 million in the Federal Capital Territory? Questions about their existence and effectiveness within Abuja are being asked, as bombing of the capital city at will by Boko Haram insurgents has not abated. Security experts and residents have at different times tagged the project dead on arrival and expressed doubts that the cameras ever worked. In several reports done by LEADERSHIP, the federal government had been called to question over the functionality of the cameras. A Federal High Court in Abuja had recently granted an ex-parte application, seeking an order of mandamus to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe the controversial contract awarded to Chinese company, ZTE Corporation by the federal government. It was also reported recently that the presidency following the failure of the CCTVs to contribute in the fight against insurgency had turned down a request by the Ministry of Police Affairs to pay additional N3billion to the contractor handling the project. LEADERSHIP findings following the blast that rocked the EMAB Plaza in Wuse II on Wednesday afternoon, which left at least 24 people dead, show that if truly the CCTVs existed around the busy shopping complex, the suspected bombers would have been identified by now. A senior police officer who spoke under condition of anonymity told LEADERSHIP weekend that only a few of the CCTV cameras are currently working. The reason for the breakdown of the cameras, according to him, includes lack of maintenance as well as power failure. “The truth is that some of them are not working. Definitely, not all of them can work. Some were faulty from day one. Others may suffer power failure. Moreover, not all parts of Abuja, even within the metropolis, are covered,” the source said. The officer also pointed out that the terrorists always try to avoid areas where there are visible CCTVs. “Terrorists are very intelligent crooks. When they want to select their target, they select places where the eyes of the camera will not come. That’s where you hear things like CCTV cameras serving as deterrent. If they want to strike in Abuja I’m sure they will select their target away from the CCTVs,” the officer said. Also, the coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, while giving an update on the abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls and the fight against insurgency, collaborated LEADERSHIP findings when he revealed that the FCT lacked adequate CCTV to monitor activities in the metropolis and called on private organisations and public-spirited individuals to install the CCTV in their premises. “The minister of FCT has said they are working. He said they are working on improving them. CCTV is not everywhere in the city; that is why we are calling on citizens to install CCTV and that is one way they can contribute to the fight against terrorism,” Omeri said. T he coordinator, who is also the director-general of the National Orientation Agency, NOA, said the situation in the country demanded that everyone cooperate with the security agencies to rid the country of insurgents. He said though the CCTV cameras within the city are working, they are not in some parts of the city. Experts express doubts over the functionality of Abuja CCTV Meanwhile, security experts have expressed doubts over the operations of the several CCTV cameras installed in Abuja. Some of them who spoke to LEADERSHIP Weekend yesterday doubted the functionality of the CCTV in the capital city. A former director of State Security Service (SSS), Mr Mike Ejiofor, was of the view that most of those installed in Abuja are not functioning. “From what we have seen, I doubt if the installed cameras are really working. We had up to three bombings now and we have not been told of any outcome from investigations from the cameras. When incidents like this happens, the cameras are supposed to pick up people who are involved in the crime but, so far, I don’t know whether we have that facility or the existing ones are really functioning,” he said. Also, a former commissioner of police in the FCT, Mr Lawrence Alobi, while responding to LEADERSHIP Weekend, said the importance of CCTV camera cannot be overemphasised in combating crimes. The ex-police boss questioned the sincerity of those who handled the installation of CCTV in Abuja. “The CCTV in Abuja, how functional are they? Who awarded the contracts? Are they functioning? Where are they located? How effective are they? What has been achieved from them and when were they installed? Are they CCTVs being maintained? These are the questions we should be asking,” he said. He also urged the federal government to come up with a policy of making all offices, businesses both public and private install CCTV cameras to check crimes in the country. He reminded all that the terrorists who bombed Boston in the United Stated were apprehended through a CCTV installed in a private restaurant. “If it can be replicated in Nigeria, it will go a long way in helping us to checkmate insurgency in Nigeria,” Alobi said. http://leadership.ng/news/376272/470m-waste-cameras-just-metres-latest-abuja-bomb-blast-scene-provided-clues |
The Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola/ Senator Iyiola Omisore at war as Senator Omisore begins door to door campaign. As the 9 August governorship election in Osun State draws near, the leading governorship candidates, incumbent Governor, Rauf Aregbesola of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and Iyiola Omisore of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, are locked in a war of words over who has the better credentials to run the state. While Aregbesola lambasted Omisore at a campaign rally in Ikirun in Ifelodun Local Government Area of the State, warning him not to over-step his boundary, Omisore fired back at the governor, describing him as a half- educated person. Aregbesola also boasted that Omisore was not a threat to him in any way, adding that ‘as Aregbesola, I have come to rebuild the state for another four years.’ The governor said at the rally that he had not completed his mission in the state and told Omisore to behave well before, during and after the election. He threatened that Omisore would face the full wrath of the law if he threatened the peace of the state. Aregbesola also said he needed another four years to consolidate APC’s hold on Osun State and send PDP packing from the state at the end of his second term in 2018. Responding to Aregbesola, Omisore’s aide, Diran Odeyemi, dismissed the governor’s threat as empty and of no effect, adding that Aregbesola could not equate himself with Omisore in any way and that the governor was half- educated for him to have made those remarks. Following the victory of PDP’s governorship candidate in the Ekiti State election last Saturday, Omisore, the Osun PDP governorship candidate, has been upbeat about his chances of defeating Aregbesola in August. Other PDP stalwarts have equally boasted about reclaiming Osun and other Southwest States, including Lagos, from APC in August and during the 2015 general elections. Source: Reportnigeria |
Everybody was surprised when Michael Essien handed the captain's armband to John Obi Mikel on Sunday. Even Jose Mourinho admitted after the game that by right Ashley Cole should have received it when the Ghanaian was substituted. But Mikel and Cole were both signed by Mourinho in July 2006 and it's clear that the former, rather than the latter, will play the more crucial part in a Chelsea title bid. During the past seven-and-a-half years, since signing as a 19-year-old, Mikel has matured immensely. He's 26 at the moment - 27 in April - and approaching the peak of his career. Everybody was even more surprised, on Sunday, when Mikel scored; his header was only his fourth Chelsea goal, arriving in his 300th game. Mikel is the fourth non-British player to reach that total for Chelsea, behind undisputed club legends Petr Cech (459 appearances), Didier Drogba (341) and Gianfranco Zola (312). He has been consistently selected since he joined, by no less than eight managers. Mourinho, Hiddink, Ancelotti and the rest can't all be wrong. And yet Mikel still divides opinion among Chelsea supporters. Many chide him if he ever misplaces a pass and wonders what he adds to the team. Perhaps this is a hangover from his early, ill- disciplined days, where he would lunge in rashly for tackles and pick up red cards. The transfer itself was controversial; he had signed for Manchester United from Lyn Oslo, but Chelsea had agreed a deal with his agent. A press conference where Mikel sported a Red Devils' shirt only clouded the matter and after lengthy legal wrangles, Chelsea eventually emerged with their prize - at a cost of £4million to Lyn and £12m to United. Subsequently, Lyn director Morgan Andersen was convicted of fraud and Chelsea issued a High Court Claim against him and the club, to try and recoup the money. The matter was settled out of court, confidentially, but it likely means that Chelsea paid less than £16m for the defensive midfielder - a pittance given his service over the years. It did not appear that way at first though; despite Mourinho putting his faith in Mikel, playing him 42 times in his debut season in England, the player's attitude was not quite right. He was late to training a handful of times and on the pitch some of his decision making left plenty to be desired. Mikel was booked nine times and sent off twice in 2006-07, and had two reds the following season with eight bookings (39 games). He hasn't been red carded since, and now averages seven yellow cards a season. As his discipline improves, his awareness of the game and his surroundings increases as well. Or perhaps it's the other way around. Mikel is composed - he can receive the ball under pressure from several opposition players, drawing them in, before sliding it along to a team-mate in a better position. This draws criticism that he can only pass sideways or backwards, but if Chelsea are trying to keep possession those balls are crucial. He is a player that Chelsea's defence can trust to come deep and sit in amongst them if needed, someone who never hides and will always make himself available for a pass. You notice when Mikel does make a mistake or misplace a pass, because it's so rare for him to do so. Mikel is the best screen in front of the defence that Chelsea have - and is one of the best in the world at this role. Ramires makes plenty of tackles but when he's left as the most defensive player in the Blues' midfield, they can look exposed. Following in the master's - Makelele - footsteps was always going to be difficult but some Chelsea supporters may not appreciate what Mikel offers until it is gone. As you will know, in his youth, Mikel used to be an attacking midfielder. Mourinho saw the potential for him to play as an anchorman and deployed him there from the start. It does lead people to wonder why he hasn't contributed more goals and assists, but given his role in the side it's safety first for Mikel. However, given his aerial prowess, he should have scored more goals from set piece situations, like the one against Derby County, rising to nod home Willian's free kick. Andersen had stated, during the transfer debacle: 'Alex Ferguson said to me that Mikel would be the new Roy Keane and he was offered a contract that was even better than the one they gave Cristiano Ronaldo when he came to the club.' Perhaps a weakness is his speed; Mikel is not the quickest, and, infrequently, still throws himself into tackles which he might not be able to win. Mikel is also a big game player. His finest performance to date for the club came in the Champions League final, against Bayern Munich, the greatest night in Chelsea's history. He was arguably man of the match on that day, although Didier Drogba's brilliant equaliser and cup-winning penalty kick overshadowed him on that day. That's often the story for Mikel. A quiet, under- appreciated but crucial part of a trophy-winning side. John Obi Mikel's Chelsea goal collection 1. Chelsea v Macclesfield (Jan 6 2007, FA Cup) A quite superb volley from the edge of the box, rifled into the top corner. 2.

The final shortlist for the African footballer of the year has been drawn with one of the trio set to be named on January 9 in Lagos Nigeria’s John Obi Mikel will go head to head against Cote D’Ivoire pair Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba for the Caf African Footballer of the Year award to be announced at a gala in Lagos on January 9. The trio emerged finalists for the award after Caf pruned the list of 10 players on Monday. Those dropped include Nigerian trio of Vincent Enyeama, Emmanuel Emenike and Ahmed Musa, Egyptian veteran Mohamed Aboutreika, Burkinabe midfielder Jonathan Pitroipa, Ghana’s Asamoah Gyan and Gabon’s Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. First time nominee Mikel will attempt to unseat reigning player of the year Toure and former winner Drogba. Both Ivoirians have won the award twice, with Yaya hoping to make it three wins on a spin. In a year where national team football accolades will be key to the award, Mikel should expect to get a favourable look in by the coaches of the 53 national associations that make up the voting pool. The Chelsea midfielder led Nigeria to Africa Cup of Nations title in February 2013, helping the Super Eagles defeat the Ivoirians in a testy quarter final encounter along the way. Having won the Goal Nigeria Player of the Year Award for the second time in 2013 among many other accolades, Mikel certainly looks good enough for the African title this term. With key performances that showed him as the fulcrum of the Nigerian side that broke a 19-year barren run, Mikel has placed himself at a vantage point. After all, he is the only one among the trio that has ever won an Afcon title. While the Ivoirians have succeeded at their club sides, they have never been able to bring their talent to bear on the continent. Such is the disappointment that has trailed the so-called Golden Generation of Ivory Coast who have been unable to back up their immense talent with a title at senior national team level. At every point when they had been expected to make their number count, Drogba, Yaya & co. have failed, picking up two Afcon silver medals in 2006 and 2012 and finishing fourth in 2008. Yaya Toure | Can he make it a third straight award? Despite arguments that an award of this kind is supposed to be individual in nature, that is, it should only be about the tantalising goals and headlines that a footballer makes, it will be a disservice to the game if players who win championships as part of a whole group are overlooked. At the Nations Cup, Mikel shone far above the Ivoirian duo as he was named man of the match three times and made the official team of the tournament. He scored a goal at the Confederations Cup and also helped his country qualify for the 2014 World Cup, the first time in more than a decade that a reigning Afcon winner will play at the Mundial. His performances in the past year received lots of praise from many quarters including one major endorsement from Zambia legend Kalusha Bwalya who said on SuperSport: “He’s good enough for the African footballer of the Year award.” Taking nothing away from Yaya’s performances as the Elephants qualified for the World Cup and his impressive displays for Manchester City, Mikel certainly made the biggest impact in African football last year with the Super Eagles. Seven years after winning his last Young Player of the Year award, the Chelsea midfielder surely deserves to win the 2013 Caf African Player of the Year award. goal.com |
