Nigerians , especially friends and associates of Temidayo Adeleke, the bride-to-be stabbed to death by her steward, at her Ikoyi, Lagos house on Tuesday, have taken to the social media to rain curses at her killer, 22-year-old Joel Ludguo, even as relations soaked her Prince Tayo Adesanya Street, Lake View estate, Ikoyi, residence in tears.

The 33-year- old late Dayo’s gruesome murder has triggered shock, anguish numbness and confusion as she was reported to be neck deep in the arrangements for her wedding next year.

Outrage has continued to trail the killing on the various social media platforms since the news broke midweek, with many commentators and friends cursing her killer and paying the deceased a flurry of tributes.

One of Dayo’s devastated friends, Gbemi evoked pathos on Instagram, where she shared a photo they both took together recently. In her comment, Gbemi said they had met few weeks ago to discuss her upcoming wedding.

“My heart is so broken and I can only trust that God needed an angel! This picture is how I will always remember you and is a tribute to our friendship, since we were three years old playing in Mulliner Towers up until a few weeks ago when I saw you at dinner and we were discussing your upcoming wedding! You lived life on your own terms and always had a way of making me laugh out loud! I still remember my birthday trip in Barbados when you insisted we swim with the turtles and then as soon as it came near you, you screamed that it molested you. That still makes me chuckle every time I remember that! I love you girl and i can’t believe you have left us way too soon! Rest in perfect peace!”

Another visibly shaken Nigerian, Amanda Chisom, was particularly incensed at Dayo’s tragic fate, noting that it could happen to anyone. She poured out her worries on her Facebook wall: “

“You do not owe anybody anything, do not try to consider what will happen if you sack them or stop using their services. The world is full of serious, committed people, use their help and let the Hot, greedy and incapable people go find another person. Why is this girl’s death paining me,? This could easily be me or any of my single friends who work too hard to do certain things themselves”.

An anonymous individual after reading the story on a blog was full of rage as he blasted and called on Nigerians to shun employing non-Nigerians, apparently reacting to reports that the killer- help hand was a Cameroonian refugee until Dayo picked him from the streets and gave him a means of livelihood.

He comments: “When will Nigerians stop employing all these foreigners as cooks and drivers? My aunt who lives at Lekki almost lost her life too, but her cook made away with her Jewellery and other valuables in the house. We think Nigerians are bad, but I tell you these Cameroonians, Ghanaians, Togolese, etc are worse than our brothers. They come to our country, take the jobs from our people. Thereafter, they loot from their employees and sometimes kill them as well. Then they run back to their country. NIGERIANS WAKE UP. R.I.P young lady”

The dancing video alleged to have been uploaded on Instagram by the suspect same day Dayo died has continued to trend online drawing the ire of commentators.

It was seen as a “victory dance” and has not only attracted multitude of viewership, but countless curses and vituperation on his instagram page.

Below are a few of them dnova710: “Idiot… You shall never know peace even in death. Omo ale jatijati ”
chi_natural : “This is the bastard that killed his boss”
officialhushfanpage : “You were taken from church and housed, clothed and given work. The way you repay that is to stab her in the chest, right? You will reap everything you have sown in a thousandfold. The heartache you have caused to many, that’s all you will know for the rest of your miserable life.”

Hrmolorisandra: “Killer. God will avenge her death, watch God. He’s a silent judge. Mad man jumping up and down like a possessed demon. Who would have thought that your other personality is being a murderer.”
In contrast to the roiling atmosphere on the web, however, the mood at Dayo’s home is somber, reflecting the misfortune that has hit her family.

For her family members and loved ones it will certainly be a sad Christmas as they grieve over the violent death of their daughter.

Sympathizers, friends and family members who throng the Ikoyi home are still trying to make sense of the tragedy.

Wearing long faces, many of them lacked words to express how they really felt
Saturday Sun saw mourners, men and women, leaving the residence of the Adelekes, talking in dejected and hushed tones.

A condolence register has been opened at the entrance of the living room, with late Dayo’s photograph and candles burning slowly by the side. Entries mostly eulogizes the deceased and bade her a peaceful farewell.

Even though members of the family refused to officially comment on the incident, a relation, who spoke to Saturday Sun in confidence, said the family has left whatever necessary steps to be taken about the case to the government.

When pressed further about the behavior of the alleged killer, he said that: ‘’Talking about Joel is not our business. It is the police and the government’s job to punish his offence, not ours. We don’t want to put sensation into it. When we are ready to let the press report the story and the stand of the family, we will write a press release and make it official.

“It is a big tragedy that has befallen us and we are trying to take our loss like humans. She was killed. It is different from when someone dies a natural death. We can’t even let her mother hear about it.’’

The source expressed disappointment at the different versions of the story that has been trending on the internet, saying they were mostly false and distorted. He urged the media to refrain from false publication or face the family’s wrath.

“We don’t like what some media outlets are writing, they are publishing false report. They didn’t get many things right, what happened before her death and the circumstances surrounding her death,’’ he complained.
On a paper pasted on the door was an appeal to visitors to keep their voices low and refrain from discussing the incident with Dayo’s mother.

Like Adeleke, like Yavine, Timehin, Okafor, others
However, Adeleke would not be the first or only employer to be murdered by callous and bloodthirsty employees or aides.

The police stations and courtrooms are replete with cases of aggrieved workers acting alone or in concert to put their masters, mistress or their close relations to death

For instance, a 50-year-old businesswoman’s decomposing body was found in her apartment last week at the Victoria Garden City, VGC, in August. She was allegedly murdered by her gate man, following an argument over the latter’s salary.

It was gathered that the deceased, Mabel Okafor, who lived alone in her palatial duplex at House J68B, Close 9, VGC, Ajah, had no domestic worker except the gate man.

The gate man, with an undisclosed identity, reportedly resumed work about two months before the incident brought by the deceased’s former gate man.

One of her neihbours said: “Nobody knew that the woman was dead until last Friday. We learned that she was stabbed last Wednesday, but it was not until her church members visited on Friday that they found her decomposing body.

“The gate of the building was only bolted, but not locked when the church members came. “One of them said they became apprehensive after several calls to her mobile telephone indicated that her line was switched off, prompting them to pay her a visit, only to be welcomed with a stench from her room. “Her body was found on the floor of the sitting room downstairs, with a knife protruding out of her stomach.

“After her death, some gate men from the suspected culprit’s ethnic group said he had boasted that he would leave an indelible mark on her madam, following argument over increase in his salary. “They said he claimed he was being paid N20,000 but demanded an increase of N10,000, which the woman refused. The fleeing gate man was quoted by some gate men here to have argued that he usually washed his madam’s car and also swept the compound.”

Another resident, who simply gave his name as Goke, said: “Police have not been able to get the gate man since the incident occurred, neither have they been able to reach the one that brought him. In fact, the gate man went away with her phone. We have been warned several times to employ private guards from registered security companies, but some landlords here do not heed the advice.”

Also, on May 6, 2015, a 65-year-old beer parlour operator, Agnes Elue residing at No 293B Agbani road in Enugu was killed by the house help over issues of fund diversion.

The suspect, Joseph Ijeh had lived with the deceased for over 20 year. It was gathered that the suspect had over the years built confidence on his ability to run the beer parlour until recently when the proprietress noticed that he (Joseph) had not been rendering proper account.
On the ill fated day, Agnes beckoned on Joseph to render account of sales made during the period in review. This, however, allegedly infuriated Joseph and he went for the kill. According to the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr. Ebere Amaraizu, DSP, “Unknown to Agnes, rather than furnish her with the account, Joseph armed with pestle, hit Agnes at the back of the head and she died immediately. The suspect hid the corpse in one of the rooms for days before operatives got wind of the crime. They swung into action and arrested the suspect.

Also in 2014, the police in Lagos arrested an 18- year- old boy, Hounvenou Yavine, a Beninoise, for slitting the throat of his boss’ mother, Mrs. Mariam Abiola.
Yavine was brought into Lagos in April 2014 by his elder sister on the request of late Mrs. Abiola’s daughter. He was then taken to the Ikeja home of the late 78- year -old woman to serve as her house help as well as an assistant at her alcohol distribution shop. A month after his arrival, her home was demolished by the state government, prompting her to temporarily relocate to her daughter’s home at the Ijaiye Low Cost Housing Estate, where his primary assignment was to take care of her and also clean her daughter’s house. On July 1 of that year, Yavine, who was alone at home with the old woman, slit her throat and left her to die. No one knew why he killed the woman, but when asked, the young boy said someone asked him to kill her.

Yasvine was arraigned before a Lagos Magistrate court where a one count charge of murder was read to him.
In Ogun, a State High Court sentenced a 21-year old house help to death by hanging for killing his former boss, a retired Chief Magistrate in March last year.

The court, sitting in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State, found David Ndah, 21, guilty of killing Funmilayo Timehin, 65, at her Laderin Estate Residence in Abeokuta.

David, an Igede indigene from Benue State, was a former house help of late

Madam Timehin, but was sacked for alleged stealing of mobile phones and jewellery.

Again in 2012, a manager and a housemaid were arrested by the Lagos State Police Command, Ikeja for allegedly killing their boss,.

The victim whose name was given as Alhaja Sikirat Eko of Omole Phase 1, Lagos State was until her untimely death the owner of a restaurant and bar located in her compound, where she lived alone with the maid.
The suspects, according to the police authorities reportedly murdered Eko at her home located on 5, Babatunde Ladega Street and threw her corpse into a well .

After the gruesome murder, the manager and the maid continued managing the bar, claiming that their boss had travelled.

The suspects met their waterloo when relatives of the late Eko came on a visit and demanded for the deceased’s whereabouts, and having failed to give a reasonable answer, the relatives reported to the case to Area G Command, in Ogba.

The manager was reportedly using the deceased’s phone and assumed her identity. Sometimes, he would send text messages with her phone, telling people that all was well.”

How do you see the refusal of the Senate to confirm the appointment of EFCC’s boss as well as the allegation that the SGF’s company was involved in a transaction that did not go through the due process?
Well, you see these are developments that have just started and I am not in a position to make comments on that. But these are accusations and once accusations are made, then it is the responsibility of the authorities to now direct the agencies that would deal with those things, to look into them so that the truth is established. In our case, a lot of my colleagues were being tried on the pages of the newspaper, they said that so much money were being traced to me as a person. That was being very unfair. You do not go the press simply because you called me to ask me about some of these issues. Yes, I might have signed a piece of paper and the bank had received money, but don’t go and tell the public that you had traced so much money to me. You have already convicted me before a trial. For example, I have an international image to protect. When you Google my name today, it is there and I have a lot people across the world. I was the Ambassador of Nigeria to the United Nations for four and half years, I was Nigeria’s ambassador to China for four and half years and I was a Foreign Affairs Minister and therefore I have a lot of friends and well wishers and they would Google this thing. For them, when they see it –Aminu Wali has stolen N950 million – that really is a big dent on me. You have already convicted me without a trial. And most of these people that have been taken in and locked up, they are not people that are going to run away. Why don’t you call them, discuss with them and establish a case against them and then take them to court. I think we deserve to be treated as innocent people until proven guilty. This is a reputation I built over the past 50 years and overnight somebody who is far too junior comes up overnight to say that I am a thief, without having any concrete evidence against me., to say that I was aware that these monies were stolen- which I know that they were not stolen anyway. Because for me there was a public fund raising and most the stalwarts and business people, oil moguls and what have you, raised N21 billion, so if they send N950miion to Kano , who am I to question the source of the money.
You said that you do not want to be an irresponsible opposition member, but as a Nigerian, how would you assess the Buhari administration so far?
My assessment is something that is not personal. As a politician, I listen to every person and opinion; listen to what the people say- some are for government and some are anti- government. But at the end of the day, form a view from what the majority of these commentators are saying about the performance of the government. Personally I am not happy with the 20 percent inflation rate in this country because that reasonably cuts down the effectiveness of people’s earning when they go the market, which makes life absolutely difficult for the common person in this country. So obviously, they need to look into these issues, they need to put up an economic team, and this is something that had been mentioned by a number people. They should look at our own administration, areas that they believe that we have done well, they should find out what we have done right and areas that that we have failed, they should take it and correct it.

Ambassador Aminu Wali, Nigeria’s Immediate past Foreign Affairs Minister, was a senior cabinet member in the Jonathan’s administration. In what could be described as his first major conversation with the media since they lost power, Alhaji Wali who was Nigeria’s Ambassador to the United Nations for four and half years and a former Ambassador to China for the same period, reflects on why the PDP lost in the 2015 polls.
He also spoke on how the politics of ethnicity and religion undermined the 2015 polls, the near global conspiracy against their administration’s efforts to procure arms to execute the war on Boko Haram, the N950 million charge against his person by the EFCC and Nigeria’s present economic mess, among other issues. He spoke to Desmond Mgboh in his Kano home.
Excerpts:
How has it been for you and your supporters in the Northwest since your party, the PDP, lost out, in 2015?
It is a known fact that the PDP suffered serious defeat in the last general elections in this country, particularly in my zone and we know exactly the causes of that defeat. We had seen it coming over a period of time and of course, from the way it happened, it surpassed our estimation. It was really devastating. But that is politics. Not only in Kano but nationally, there has been a change of baton. And this is to be expected. For me as somebody who has been in this business for close to 40 years, it is a normal thing. In a properly organized democratic setup, where there is a free and fair election, the party in power does not last for 16 years. The electorate would always want to look the other side to find out whether they would get a better deal from the opposition. And this is what is happening in Europe, in America, all over the world. Therefore, that it happened to us in Nigeria is nothing different. It is our match through democracy, it is our match to establish democratic rules in our nation and I believe that we should be gallant losers and then form a robust opposition, a responsible opposition to now highlight areas of the failure of the administration so that they can correct- because after all, we all belong to Nigeria and whether you are in power or out of power, what is important is to see that Nigerians get a better deal from whoever happens to be in power. You need to pinpoint those areas that the administration is going wrong so that they can correct them, for Nigerians to get a better deal. Not because you are out of power, you want the party and the government in power to fall. No! That is bad politics as far as I am concerned.
So for me, it is a lesson that all politicians, perhaps those within the PDP and the other parties must learn; we must learn to accept defeat and then now get up and move forward and try to regain the lost grounds.
Why do you think the PDP failed in the 2015 elections? What were the dynamics that led to the fall of your party?
Well, it has been there for a long time. Like I said earlier in my comment, in any free democracy, you don’t expect a party to continue ruling for ever or for two, three, four, five terms! The party has been in power for 16 years and along the line, there were lots of mistakes that were made and the opposition took advantage of some of the lapses that we had and linked up with the voters – they were able to convince the voters that the PDP has failed. But the major issues, as far as this part of the country was concerned was the belief by the electorate that we failed to contain the security situation in the North-east. That, we as a party, and as a government, did nothing to contain the situation, because that was the propaganda that was going on in the media through the opposition. Rather than being responsible opposition, advice us on what we should do more to contain the situation. Like what is happening today, I will be very disposed to offer my advice on how best to contain the situation.
We accept that they have tried (in respect of the fight against Boko Haram) since they came to power but that is not to say that the previous administration had not done anything to contain the Boko Haram menace. They used it to blackmail the PDP. And this is one of the main issues that the electorate bought and they went against the PDP. And of course as we go, a lot of things are being unraveled and I think that by the time all the trials in the courts are concluded, a lot of the truth would come out.
As a Foreign Minister of Nigeria, constitutionally, I happened to be a member of the National Security Council, so I knew what we had done and I know what actions the government too, both internally and externally to see how we can contain Boko Haram. I was a member of the National Security Council and I led a lot of delegations and teams of this country and other countries, the Joint Security team of the countries in the region and these security outfits were still in place even after we had left office. So to say that we have not done anything to contain the Bok Haram insurgency was a fallacy. We had done the best we could under those circumstances.
One of the things the Jonathan administration suffered was the fact that the International Community was not giving them military support. What exactly happened giving your background as a Foreign Affairs Minister?
Well, you see I had led delegations to discuss this issue of Boko Haram with a number of countries to give us help and support. The President had mandated me to discuss with a number of these countries, which I did but the demands of the equipment we need were not forthcoming- for whatever reason we were not very sure. But I think that there was some kind of conspiracy against Nigeria as a country and I think that it is happening even till today, that same conspiracy is still ongoing because even the current administration has not been able to get the kind of military equipment they needed against Boko Haram. They are still having problems in obtaining the weapons we also wanted. So, we had to make do with what we can get from Russia and some of these European countries and even South Africa-theirs which later became a scandalous issue. But of course, we know what triggered our going to South Africa to look for equipment there for, at least, a substitute for what we could not get elsewhere.
The Goodluck Jonathan government went to every extent to acquire the military wares that was required to successfully deal with the problem of Boko Haram. I am telling you because I happened to be a member of the National Security Council and at the same time, Nigeria’s Foreign Minister. We kept talking, speaking to various governments in all parts of the world on this issue. I had been to the USA, to Washington, to the State Department. I had been to New York and I met with various leaders from several of the world. I had spoken for one and half hours with the President of Turkey and we discussed all these issues and a lot of the governments that we discussed with particularly knowing that this was a diplomatic issue, somehow some promised to give us support, but they never did anything. The issue of Boko Haram was very unfortunate and was not something that should have been politicized.
All of us should have put our hands on deck regardless of whichever political parties we were. Take us on the economic and social issues in the country; take us on the international security issues in terms of security in various States and communities, but when it comes to matter of Boko Haram , it was not something that we can have different voices. We were supposed to be united for the sake of our own country. That is why up till today you have not heard any member of the past administration saying anything to undermine the efforts of the current administration in fighting Boko-Haram.
From the little we know regarding the management of the funding of the war against Boko Haram, the present administration claimed that there were lot of corruption in the management of the funds. What is your response to these kinds of revelations?
I may not be fully conversant with what happened as far as the management of the security funds was concerned, but I know that every time that we had reports in Council, we were briefed of the efforts that were being made to purchase arms. But you must note that when you talk of the details of the purchase of arms, this is not something that has ever been made public, not even in Council. In the Federal Executive Council, this was not discussed. Even in the National Security Council, we were just given a general brief, “this was what we are trying do and this is what we are trying to do” and of course this is something between the Ministry of Defence and the office of the National Security Adviser. But as far as I know, former President Jonathan made some remarks sometimes ago, about three or four weeks ago, that – they were talking about $2.1 billion- he said that that could not have been possible, adding that there was need for proper explanation.
Even if there is any money missing out of the $2.1 billion dollars that they are talking about, let us know how much was missing and how much had gone to actually purchasing the arms. We know for sure that as of today, the Nigeria armed forces are still using the military equipment that the former administration managed to purchase and they are still in use. Tell us the cost of the military equipment you have taken procession of, and then let us now know the cost of the ones missing. That is the whole point. Secondly, from experience, and from practice, the office of the National Security Adviser- even in budget, funds budgeted to that Office, have never been accounted for. In practice, when you say that these funds are for security, it is between the President and National Security Adviser. So in this case, since some of these funds went through the funds of the Office of the National Security Adviser, some have already been budgeted to the National Security Adviser; you really have to separate the two before you know exactly what you are talking about. This is something which is subjudice and I will not want anybody to delve into that issue. It is already in court.
Given the kind of massive defeat recorded by the PDP in the North-West Zone, we have heard accusation flying round that the leaders of the PDP in the zone, for which you were one, had not put in their best. How do you respond to this allegation?
We have to be honest with ourselves. The politics of 2015 was polarized so much so that it became impossible to appeal to the electorate in the North-west to vote for the manifesto of the political party or on the basis of the performance of the government of the day. It went very ethnic and very religious. And I think the outcome of that politics, from the background of what is happening today, (the hardship faced by all irrespective of tribe, region and religion) would put to rest that type of politicking. I think that today, I am not lamenting the loss of North-west in that election, I am actually relieved that what is happening today would put the politics of ethnicism and religion to rest. Because what I said before the election was that the current President who happened to come from the North West was what Awolowo was to the South-west. And if we go back to history , when we see the devotion and love the people had for Awolowo in his own region and among his people, it was exactly the same that d happened in the North-west. But I believe having gone through this; I think the next time around, the voters and the majority of our people now know that politics is not a matter of religion and ethnicity. It is like a person who has two wives. Now, when you get the second wife, you will be able to know which is better of the two. Now we have now gone through what we have gone through- I am not lamenting though, I think I am relieved that we have gone through this. Luckily we have gone through it peacefully. Because whenever and wherever, there ethnic or religious consideration in any political situation, the thing is always explosive!
I remember that by the time, I went to vote in my own voting station here, people around were looking at me as somebody who is an unbeliever! Why should I support Goodluck Jonathan? Just like an unbeliever, I have blasphemed. It got to that level that some of us were not feeling safe in our homes and in our own communities anymore simply because the propaganda had gone so much into their heads that anybody that did not support the person that did not come from their ethnic group or from the same religion or creed, then you are really out of it. This is what happened in the North-west. You were here. What I am telling you is nothing strange to you. You don’t even have to ask me. You know yourself what happened, why we lost. And like I said I am glad for General Buhari that he won, I am glad for the people of North-West that they have done what they did and this hopefully would open the eyes of everybody that politics is not a matter of religion or ethnicity.
When you talk like this, you seem to imply that the people are passing through a system of government that is not as good as the immediate past administration. Give us some more explanations- are these people getting the sort of deal they had dreamt of when they were calling an individual the messiah?
Unfortunately for the party in government, when they were campaigning all over the country, they went and made so many promises that they would make this country an utopia- everybody would get jobs, everybody would get money and even if you were unemployed, you would be paid so much per month and what have you. There would be power everywhere in three months! They made all sorts of promises. I don’t know whether it is the President that said it or some members of his party. And by the way, President Buhari ran three times before he won and all these years he had been repeating the same promises to the people. And they believed him, and unfortunately, the party has not been able to live up to these promises and that is why we are having problems in explaining to people what the problems were. So, we are waiting to see and hoping that things improve for the sake of fellow Nigerians. I will not wish any government doom; I will always wish them well – again, for the sake of Nigerians. I will hope that they do well so that Nigerians get a better deal and a better life for themselves and for the coming generations.
Let us go to something that had affected you recently- The anticorruption crusade of the hour. What is your assessment of it all, especially in terms of the fact that some are being questioned while others are being shielded?
You see a lot of people have said it before me that this thing is selective – because I happened to be a victim. I served this country to the best of my ability for the better part of my life, from minor public offices to major public offices. I have been through it all. And I have always been proud to say that my performances in public life had been exemplary. But all of a sudden to wake up one morning to be accused of corruption where there is none. As far as I am concerned, I was never responsible for those funds. I was just somebody who received funds on behalf of my party in my State. How can anybody look at me and say that I have laundered money? How? These were funds that legitimately came from the National Campaign Organization for the purposes of the election two days before the election. How could I have laundered it? I received this money through a bank on behalf of my State which I delivered and which was used for an election which we lost. If, there were any act of corruption, then, go up to the chain, find out where it happened. But don’t go and leave the donkey and keep the load. If we were talking of anti- corruption in Nigeria, it has to be a holistic approach, not piecemeal, not for the minors. For example, I think the anti -corruption agencies are wasting their time on people like me. Because in my own community, in all the positions I have held, the people that I have worked with, they know I have always been incorruptible. They know this fact themselves. And even people within the current administration, they know that I am incorruptible. Even before I got into politics, I have been able to make myself comfortable as a business man. I have never looked for anything in politics except to go and serve. So when you are talking about corruption, go to those institutions that are the cesspool of corruption. Talking about the institutions, make sure that you clean those institutions of corrupt practices, institutions like the NNPC, major economic ministries and government agencies. It takes two to tangle. No one person would ever commit the act of an act of corruption without having a helping hand from elsewhere. That elsewhere is always coming through a government agency. At the same time, look at other areas- the legislature, the judiciary and others. Once you clean that, you have now set a foundation for fighting corruption which would survive the current administration.
A lot of people have argued that we want the anti -graft fight to also target APC State governors and government that had supported the APC Presidential bid in 2015. What is your take on this?
He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. The administration is fighting but within its fold, there are those that are believed to be corrupt and therefore, they lack the moral authority to fight corruption or go to any other person. Look into yourself. And just like they told us, “change begins with you.” The fight against corruption begins with you inside your administration before you now move out to others. So if there were allegations that within the government and that within the ruling party there were those people that were being accused of one thing or the other, these accusations should not be ignored. That is why a lot of people are saying that the fight against corruption is being selective. So that really gives less legitimacy to the efforts at fighting corruption.

FIFA on Thursday released the latest world football rankings, with very little change owing to the lack of interna- tional football in recent months with Nigeria’s Super Eagles dropping one spot from her ranking in November to end the year in the 50th position but still occupy the 8th spot on the African continent.
Senegal ended the year as the highest ranked African national team, edging Cup of Nations title-holders the Ivory Coast for top spot in the December listings.
Tunisia, Egypt, Algeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Ghana and Morocco complete the top 10 compiled by world governing body FIFA.
All the countries except Nigeria will be among the 16 challengers for the Cup of Nations title when Gabon stages the 2017 tournament between January 14 and February 5.
Another four qualified teams – Mali, Cameroon, giantkillers Guinea-Bissau and Uganda – are among the top 20 ranked teams.
Gabon-bound Togo and Zimbabwe and the host nation fall outside the elite, but should not be underestimated when the biennial African Cup kicks off in Libreville.
A Senegal side packed with Europe-based professionals, including Sadio Mane of Liverpool and Keita Balde of Lazio, complet- ed their Cup of Nations qualifiers with a perfect six-win record.
But after a routine win over Cape Verde at the start of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, they fell 2-1 to South Africa, who scored from a penalty that should not have been awarded.
Rwanda was the biggest mover of the month, moving up nine places to 92nd.
Looking back over the year, Guinea-Bissau were the team with the greatest difference compared to their December 2015 ranking, moving up a total of 78 places to 68th in the global rankings.
MONTHLY AFRICAN RANKINGS RELEASED BY FIFA
1. Senegal (33)
2. Ivory Coast (34)
3. Tunisia (35)
4. Egypt (36)
5. Algeria (38)
6. Democratic Republic of Congo (48)

hmmm

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has been accused by the State Security Service (SSS) of working with an aide to Senate President Bukola Saraki to destabilise the Federal Capital Territory during the festive season with a view to casting federal authorities in bad light.
The said aide to the Senate President, Ikenga Ugochinyere, is to help Mr. Wike mobilise hoodlums to execute the violent plan, SSS alleged in a statement signed by an official, Tony Opuiyo, and distributed by PR Nigeria.
“The Department of State Services (DSS) wishes to inform the general public that it has uncovered a sinister plot by the Rivers State Governor Nyesom WIKE to disrupt machinery of governance in strategic Federal Government agencies by provoking a violent breach of peace in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, today, 22nd December, 2016 and beyond especially at this yuletide season.
“To achieve this, the Governor had secured the services of one Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, a Personal Aide to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki (Sen), to mobilise some hoodlums to execute their plan,” the statement read.
The SSS raised the alarm amid counter-accusations of culpability in the violence and irregularities that characterized Rivers State federal and state legislative elections held on December 10.

d place is always boring

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME OF MAKING FTC and FP , and this happening on the same day......ope ooooo.
Dedicate this to my peepz all around..

For me , Ilorin is boring...let us report situation of things at our locations ......

The sleepy community of Ekwulumilli in Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State, following the delay in releasing the autopsy report, by the state police command barely six months after the mysterious death of six children of the same parents in the area.

The absence of the police autopsy report, according to the elders of the community, might equally lead to the exhumation of the six dead bodies for more investigations to be carried out.

Facts had emerged recently that homicide detectives from the State Criminal Investigations Department, SCID, Awka, collected the samples of the tissues of the deceased persons before their burial.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, ASP Nkiruka Nwode, told newsmen on phone that she was not in a position to give detailed information regarding the situation, but some elders of the community, who spoke on the matter, confirmed that they were yet to see the police autopsy result and, therefore, might request for the exhumation of the bodies.

Pastor David Adeoye is the founder of Royalty Christian Centre. He is married to Sunmbo Adeoye who gave birth to 2face Idibia’s first two children before breaking up with the popular musician in 2009.
Narrating how their relationship started, Pastor Adeoye stated:
“When we lost my late first wife whom everybody called mama, there was noise but it was sympathisers’ noise; but when I started dating Sunmbo, the noise changed to something else. It was horrible. Because I had a strong conviction in me that she was my wife, I did not care. People would call me almost every time to ask if I had seen what had been written about her in one magazine or newspaper. People feared that dating her and eventually getting married to her would destroy the church because worshippers had started to leave the church.
“While I was battling this in my heart, I stumbled on a video of Joyce Meyer and that was how I got to know that she was a single mother who was in an abusive marriage before she met and married David Meyer, who had never been married before he met her. As soon as I watched that video, an inner voice told me that the way Joyce Meyer commended her husband is the same way the world would commend me by the time I am done with Sunmbo. We have been married for three years and I don’t regret getting married to her. Most of the people who kicked against me marrying her have come back to apologise.
“Many people do not know that I have known Sunmbo as far back as 1998. She is a music minister and I had a brother who had a gospel rap group. She was the only girl among them. When she finished singing one fateful day, even my late wife commended her singing prowess. I never thought that we would one day get married. In fact, she was close to my late wife such that when she fell from faith during her dark days, my late wife played a major role in her restoration.
“Unknown to most people, her past experiences became my greatest attraction. You can hardly find a man of God who married a single mother; most men of God married a virgin. Every time, the body of Christ in Nigeria preaches 2 Corithians 5:17 but do not believe it. I saw people run away from me because they felt I had embarked on a risky journey when I started dating Sunmbo.
