I pity d tattoo guy,from d confession video I watched, I reckon his innocent. May God see him through this sh*t.

Brother, you must have seen the wrong video.And may all three of them be jailed for at least 40 years. Can I get an amen?

Been in such shoes before too. Not completely a seduction story but the false allegation part and reaction from family and friends got me. Well, may it be well with Dr. allwell as he passes on and for those of us who were able to defeat the thoughts one way or the other; may we remain strong.

His spinal cord has probably been damaged by the beating. This has got nothing to do with charms.

hello I just sent you a message via email. please respond. we need to help this girl .

I think the guy is just being interrogated. From the interrogator's comments I sense they have nothing on him yet but perhaps a tip-off.
If they already had something on him then there won't be any need for that discussion.funny thing is he didn't even let the stanley guy speak. The interrogator is trying to glean the information under pretense that he already has it and from the look on that guy's face I hope he doesn't give in into admitting something he didn't do......Stanley I hope you're innocent.Yeah! Nigerians do drugs but not all. The stereotyping is already out there....as bright as the burning sun.

They said she dare not step into the U.S

Now she's in the U.S and her bag becomes an issue.

Some People just love talking.

But is this the real Badoo? The one that killed that Ghanian woman after raping her and also injured her daughter, Is he the one?

Happy Birthday Jamal. May you increase in all admirable ramifications by geometric progression.

FASHOLA’S WEBSITE SCAM

‘‘WHEN YOU WRESTLE WITH A PIG THE PIG GETS HAPPY AND YOU GET DIRTY’’
THOSE WERE THE WORDS OF THE FORMER GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE WHEN HE WAS ENMESHED IN A WEBSITE UPGRADE SCANDAL THAT COSTS 78 MILLION NAIRA.
NOTHING CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF NIGERIANS MORE THAN HEARING THAT A WELL RESPECTED MAN OF PURPOSE HAS HIS HANDS SOAKED IN OIL.
THE NEWS REVERBERATED IN THE NORTH AND HAD MEN IN THE SOUTH GATHERING IN CIRCLES FOR DELIBERATION ON A MATTER THAT APPEARS TO BE CAPABLE OF RUINING THE CHANCES OF A POTENTIAL MINISTERIAL CANDIDATE.
A CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANISATION: COALITION AGAINST CORRUPT LEADERS (CACOL) ASKED THE GOVERNOR THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1. THERE ARE STILL MANY DILAPIDATED SCHOOLS IN THE STATE; WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE 200 MILLION DOLLARS EDUCATION FUND YOU RECEIVED FROM THE WORLD BANK?
2 THE I.36KM LEKKI- IKOYI BRIDGE YOU BUILT IS BELIEVED TO COST SIX BILLION NAIRA, HOW COME YOU DECLARED TWENTY FIVE BILLION NAIRA AS ITS COST OF CONSTRUCTION?
3 CAN YOU TELL US HOW THE LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT HAVE COME TO ACCRUE A DEBT OF FIVE HUNDRED BILLION NAIRA UNDER YOUR WATCH?
IN RESPONSE TO ALL THIS, HERE’S WHAT THE EX-GOVERNOR HAD TO SAY:
“WELL FOR CACOL AND THEIR ILK, SEEKING MY PROSECUTION ON ALLEGATIONS THAT HAVE NO PROOF AND WRITING “PRE-EMPTIVE” LETTERS TO THE PRESIDENCY.
IN CASE THEY ARE UNAWARE, I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A JOB. I EXPECT THEM TO KNOW THAT ALLEGATIONS OF WRONG DOING ARE NOT RESOLVED WITHOUT EVIDENCE, NEITHER ARE THEY RESOLVED IN PRESS CONFERENCES.
I HAVE SERVED MY STATE, AND BY EXTENSION, MY COUNTRY FOR TWELVE AND HALF YEARS AND I DID SO WITH MY HEART.
I AM TAKING THE REST THAT I BELIEVE I HAVE EARNED.
FOR THOSE WHO STILL WISH TO REMAIN IN THE MUD, THEY SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR.
FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO THROW MUD AT ME, THEY SHOULD LOOK AT THEIR OWN HANDS.”
AS FOR ME, I HAVE MOVED ON. MY JOB IS DONE.

THE DETHRONEMENT OF DAVID MARK

FOR EIGHT YEARS, HE WAS NIGERIA’S NO 3 CITIZEN BUT NOW HE HAS NO NUMBER. THESE DAYS HE OFTEN LOOKS LONELY IN THE UPPER CHAMBER AND PAINFULLY, HE MAY NOT EVEN BE A SENATOR AGAIN AS THE APPEAL COURT RECENTLY NULLIFIED HIS ELECTION. AS DAVID BONAVENTURE ALECHEN MARK SAT THROUGH THE PROCEEDINGS AFTER THE INAUGUARATION OF THE EIGTH SENATE ON JUNE 9, YOU PROBABLY WOULD HAVE NEEDED SPECIAL INSTINCTS TO TELL IF THIS WAS THE SAME MAN THAT LED THE SENATE FOR 8 YEARS OR IF IT WAS A VISITOR AT THE HALLOWED CHAMBER. AS DAVID MARK SAT, THERE WAS NO DESK IN HIS FRONT NOR A GAVEL IN HIS HAND, ALL HE HAD WAS A QUIET TONGUE THAT LAID WITHIN HIS TEETH LIKE A COOL CUCUMBER; NOT WILLING TO SAY A WORD. MANY HAVE TAGGED HIS SITUATION AS ‘‘THE FALL OF THE SON OF MARK’’ WHILE OTHERS HAVE JUST SAID IT WAS A POLITICAL GAMBLE GONE WRONG AND IF JEG HAD WON, MARK WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SENATE PRESIDENT FOR A THIRD TIME. ANYWAY, IN AS MUCH AS WE SYMPATHISE WITH HIM, WE HOPE THE FORMER SENATE PRESIDENT CAN TAKE SOLACE IN THE FACT THAT HE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE OUT THERE. EVANS ENWEREM WAS OUSTED IN 1999 AND BECAME AN ORDINARY MEMBER, CHUBA OKADIGBO ALSO BECAME A FLOOR MEMBER IN 2000, ADOLPHUS WABARA WHO RULED THE SENATE FROM 2003-2005 DESCENDED TO AN ORDINARY MEMBER AFTER BEING FORCED TO RESIGN HIS POSITION DUE TO A BRIBE-FOR-BUDGET SCANDAL.
SO, MR DAVID MARK, RELAX! THERE’S NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN, EXCEPT, OF COURSE, YOU LOSE YOUR SENATORIAL SEAT TO DANIEL OJEH IN THE UP-COMING RE-RUN

EMIR SANUSI’S MARRIAGE TO A TEENAGER

MARRIAGE IS SEEN FROM DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES IN NIGERIA DUE TO OUR DIFFERENT RELIGION, TRIBAL INCLINATION AND LEVEL OF EDUCATION. THEREFORE WHEN EMIR SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI, A FORMER GOVERNOR OF CENTRAL BANK AND A WELL RESPECTED FIFTY FOUR YEAR OLD NIGERIAN DECIDED TO TIE THE KNOT WITH AN EIGHTEEN YEAR OLD TEENAGER AS HIS FOURTH WIFE, DIFFERENT REACTIONS WERE RECEIVED FROM DIFFERENT QUARTERS.
SOME ALLEGED HE MARRIED HER JUST SO HE CAN SATISFY HIS AGING WITH HER YOUTH AND OTHERS LAMBASTED PEOPLE WITH SUCH THOUGHT PATTERN SAYING THEY HAVE A PERVERTED MIND SET.
THE EMIR MARRIED SA’ADATU BARKINDO-MUSDAFA, THE DAUGHTER OF THE LAMIDO OF ADAMAWA, MUHAMMADU BARKINDO-MUSDAFA AS A FOURTH WIFE AND IMMEDIATELY ENSURED SHE LEFT FOR THE UK TO GET A TERTIARY EDUCATION.
AFTER THE MARRIAGE, MANY TOOK TO TWITTER TO CREATE HASH TAGS SUCH AS CHILD NOT BRIDE AND OTHERS TOOK TO FACEBOOK TO SPIT VENOM OVER THE AGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS COUPLE.
WELL, THE COUPLE THEMSELVES HAVE TURNED DEAF EARS TO THIS SIDE TALKS AND HAVE CHOSEN TO REMAIN FOR BETTER FOR WORSE AND FOR RICHER FOR POORER.

SARAKI’S FALSE ASSET PROBE

BUKOLA SARAKI, A TWO TIME GOVERNOR OF KWARA STATE, NEVER HAD ANY DARK CLOUD OVER HIS CREDIBILITY UNTIL HE HIJACKED THE SEAT OF THE SENATE PRESIDENT FROM HIS PARTY CAUCUS. SARAKI WHO IS BEING ARRAIGNED ON A THIRTEEN COUNT CHARGE OF FALSE ASSET DECLARATION, LIKE MANY, WONDER WHAT THE CCT HAS BEEN THINKING OF SINCE 2007 WHEN HE MADE THE ASSET DECLARATION AND WHY THEY WAITED SO LONG BEFORE PUTTING HIM ON THE HOT SEAT.
HOWEVER, SARAKI HAS CONTINUED TO ENJOY THE SUPPORT OF THE SENATORS WHO ALONGSIDE HIMSELF HATCHED THE PLOT TO USURP APC’S PLANS FOR THE SENATE PRESIDENT’S SEAT. THE SENATORS EVEN GO AS FAR AS FOLLOWING HIM TO THE COURT ROOM EACH TIME HE’S ABOUT TO BE DOCKED.
WHETHER SARAKI’S OX WILL BE GORED OR HIS INNOCENCE PROVEN, THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE IS THE IMPACT SARAKI’S LONG TRIAL WILL HAVE ON THE CORRUPTION FIGHT BURAHI’S ADMINISTRATION TRUMPETS AND SADLY, THE LONGER THE TRIAL THE LESS TIME HE WILL HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON MATTERS THAT MATTER TO NIGERIANS.
IN THE LONG RUN, NO ONE WILL EVER FORGET SARAKI’S DEFTNESS AND CRAFTINESS NEITHER WILL ANYONE FORGET THE LOOK ON HIS FACE WHEN HE WAS DOCKED.

THE EMERGENCE OF NNAMDI KANU

THE NIGERIAN RADIO SPACE WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE WHEN A MAN SUDDENLY TOOK TO THE AIR-WAVES IN A MANNER THAT CAN BE LIKENED TO THAT OF A HUTU-EXTREMIST RADIO STATION THAT WAS SET UP IN RWANDA WAY BACK IN JUNE 1993, WHEN TUTSI’S WERE REFERRED AS COCKROACHES DESERVING TO BE CRUSHED.
THE NAME OF THIS MAN IS NWANNEKAENYI "NNAMDI" KENNY OKWU KANU , BORN IN 1970. A POLITICAL ACTIVIST AND ACCLAIMED LEADER OF A SEPARATIST ORGANIZATION CALLED INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA, AND DIRECTOR OF A LONDON-BASED RADIO STATION BUT HAS SOME HOW FOUND A WAY TO BROADCAST IN NIGERIA AS WELL.
KANU WAS BORN IN ISIAMA AFARA, ABIA STATE, NIGERIA. HIS FATHER IS HRM EZE ISRAEL OKWU KANU (JP) AND HIS MOTHER IS UGOEZE NNENNE KANU. HE ATTENDED LIBRARY AVENUE PRIMARY SCHOOL (NOW PART OF GOVERNMENT HOUSE, UMUAHIA) AND WENT TO GOVERNMENT COLLEGE FOR HIS SECONDARY EDUCATION. HE LATER GAINED ADMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA, NSUKKA, WHERE HE COULD NOT FINISH DUE TO INCESSANT STRIKES BEFORE HE LEFT FOR LONDON TO COMPLETE HIS TERTIARY EDUCATION.
THE GOAL OF RADIO BIAFRA IS SIMPLE; IT WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO ALLOW THE SECESSION OF THE EASTERN PART OF NIGERIA.
ON 5TH OF SEPTEMBER 2015, MAZI NNAMDI KANU WAS A GUEST SPEAKER AT THE WORLD IGBO CONGRESS WHICH WAS HELD IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA WHERE HE DEMANDED FOR GUNS AND BULLETS (AS THE VIDEO DEPICTED).
ON OCTOBER 18, 2015, KANU WAS ARRESTED IN LAGOS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICES IN HIS HOTEL ROOM (GOLDEN TULIP ESSENTIAL HOTEL IN IKEJA: GFX)
WHEN THE PRESS MEDIA BROKE THE NEWS OF HIS ARREST AND DETENTION BY THE SSS IN ABUJA, IT GENERATED MASS PROTESTS ACROSS PARTS OF DELTA STATE, ENUGU STATE, RIVERS STATE, CROSS RIVER STATE, ABIA STATE, IMO STATE, AKWA IBOM STATE ANDANAMBRA STATE.

KANU WAS FINALLY ARRAIGNED ON NOVEMBER 23, 2015 IN AN ABUJA MAGISTRATE COURT FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR CHARGES OF "CRIMINAL CONSPIRACY, INTIMIDATION AND MEMBERSHIP OF AN ILLEGAL ORGANISATION BY NIGERIA'S DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICES . ON HIS DAY OF ARRAIGNMENT ABOUT 15000, PEOPLE PROTESTED IN ONITSHA; 20,000 IN ABA AND SOME VISITED THE COURT ROOM IN ABUJA WEARING BRANDED T-SHIRTS AND CARRYING DIFFERENT INSCRIPTIONS SUCH AS: “BIAFRA NOW OR NEVER”, “BUHARI RELEASE KANU FOR US”, “ON BIAFRA WE STAND” ETC.
ON 16 DECEMBER 2015, KANU WAS UNCONDITIONALLY DISCHARGED. THE GOVERNMENT WITHDREW THE CASE SO AS TO TRY HIM AT A HIGHER COURT, WHERE TERRORISM CHARGES MAY BE HANDLED BUT CONTROVERSIALLY; KANU WAS RE-ARRESTED BY THE DSS.
AS ALL NIGERIANS AWAIT WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT AND HOW FAR THIS SECESSIONISTS ARE WILLING TO GO, THE EMERGENCE OF NNAMDI KANU WILL DEFINITELY LEAVE ITS FOOT PRINTS IN THE SANDS OF TIME.

OLU FALAE’S KIDNAP

WHEN A FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AND ELDER STATES MAN GETS KIDNAPPED FROM HIS FARM IN ONDO STATE, IT IS ONLY NORMAL THAT THE ENTIRE COUNTRY EXPERIENCES A BIT OF A PANIC.
OLU FALAE, AS HE IS POPULARLY KNOWN, APART FROM CONTESTING THE 1999 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WITH EX-PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO IS THE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF THE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND WAS ALSO A ONE TIME SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERATION; EVENTHOUGH HE LOST THE ELECTION ,HE’S STILL SEEN BY MANY NIGERIANS AS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE.
THE THREE SUSPECTS ARRAIGNED FOR KIDNAPPING OLU FALAE: ABUBAKAR AUTA, BELLO JANNU AND IDRIS LAWAL CONFESSED THAT THEY RECEIVED N100, 000 EACH AS REWARDS FOR THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE OPERATION OUT OF THE 5 MILLION COLLECTED AS RANSOM. A POLICE SOURCE HOWEVER DISCLOSED THAT A TOTAL SUM OF N832, 900 WAS RECOVERED FROM AUTA, WHEN HE WAS ARRESTED IN NIGER STATE BUT THE SUSPECT CLAIMS THE MONEY LEFT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY BY THEIR LEADER WHO WAS IDENTIFIED AS BABA URO, AND IS STILL AT LARGE.
BEFORE THE KIDNAPPERS RELEASED THE 77 YEAR OLD, MEMBERS OF THE ODUA PEOPLE’S CONGRESS HAD ALREADY STARTED THREATENING TO ATTACK FULANI’S WHO WERE RUMOURED TO BE BEHIND THE KIDNAP.
HOWEVER, TENSIONS WERE DOUSED AFTER THE RANSOM WAS PAID AND FALAE’S RELEASE WAS SECURED AVERTING ANY FORM OF TRIBAL CRISIS THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED.

SHIITE VS COAS

‘‘POWER CORRUPTS AND ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY’’.
THE SHIITES DEEM THEMSELVES POWERFUL AND SO DOES THE ARMY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
THEREFORE ON THE 12TH DAY OF DEC 2015 WHEN AN ARMY ENTOURAGE THAT CONSIDERS ITS AUTHORITY UNQUESTIONABLE, LED BY THE CHIEF OF ARMY STAFF, LT GENERAL TUKUR BURATAI AND ON ITS WAY TO THE 73RD PASSING OUT PARADE OF NEW RECRUITS CAME UPON THE SHIITES WHICH AT THAT TIME WERE HAVING A PROCESSION ON SAMARU ROAD ; IT WAS SIMPLY A SITUATION FILLED WITH MOMENTS ONE CAN COMFORTABLY SAY WAS PENCILED DOWN BY THE DEVIL.
THE SHIITES REFUSED TO LET THE ARMY THROUGH ON THE BASIS OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEF; THAT NO ONE SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THAT ROAD AT THAT MOMENT EXCEPT THEM, THE ARMY IN TURN TOOK THAT REACTION AS NOTHING SHORT OF A DESECRATION OF THEIR OWN ORACLE(UNIFORM)
THE ARMY EVENTUALLY FORCED THEIR WAY THROUGH BUT THE MEDIA HAS NOT KEPT QUIET SINCE THAT DAY.
IT IS BELIEVED THAT QUITE A LARGE NUMBER OF SHIITES WERE KILLED AND SURREPTITIOUSLY BURIED BUT THE ARMY HAS REFUTED THIS CLAIM.

DEATH OF OONI AND THE “ABOBAKU’’ MYTH

IT FIRST STARTED WITH A RUMOUR AND THE DENIALS OF THE RUMOUR AND THEN CAME A CONCLUSION: THE ONI DOES NOT DIE, HE SLEEPS.
THE ONI LEFT THIS WORLD FOR ANOTHER ON THE 29TH OF JULY 2015.
THE INSCRUTABLE 50TH ONI OF IFE, HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, OBA OKUNADE SIJUADE, HAS REMAINED AN ENIGMA EVEN IN DEATH. THE COMMOTION STARTED WITH THE REFUTATION OF HIS DEMISE AS THE OBLIGATIONS AND NECESSARY PROCESSES TAKEN BEFORE SUCH DECLARATION IS MADE WERE YET TO BE FULFILLED.AS IF THE RUMOURS AROUND HIS TRANSITION WERE NOT ENOUGH THEN CAME THE ‘‘ABOBAKU CONTROVERSY’’. THE FABLE OF HOW THE ANONYMOUS ABOBAKU, WHOSE DUTY IT IS TO BE BURIED ALONGSIDE THE KING, FLED FROM HIS RESPONSIBILITY SPREAD LIKE AN INFERNO DURING HARMATTAN. WHILE SOME HYPOTHESIZE THAT THE FICTITIOUS ABOBAKU FLED TO LONDON, OTHERS SAID HE WAS HIDING IN COTONOU. AFTER A WHILE, THE GOSSIPS TOOK A DIFFERENT DIMENSION, MANY PICTURES WENT VIRAL WITH THE POSTERS CLAIMING IT TO BE THE IMAGE OF THE ABOBAKU AND SAYING HE WAS CAUGHT IN CAMEROON, SOME SAID HE WAS CAUGHT IN GHANA, SOME EVEN POSTED PICTURES OF NAKED ETHIOPIAN MEN WHO WERE AT A TRADITIONAL ETHIOPIAN COMPETITION, CLAIMING OBA OKUNADE SIJUADE WAS SO POWERFUL AND THE NEED TO INTERN HIM ALONGSIDE MORE THAN ONE ABOBAKU WAS SACROSANCT.
HOWEVER, THE TRUTH IS OBA OKUNADE SIJUADE WAS BURIED ALONE, THE “ABOBAKU” TRADITION EXISTED IN ANCIENT YORUBA TIMES. EVIDENCE ABOUND THAT IT WAS PRACTISED IN ILE-IFE AND OYO BUT OBA ADESOJI ADEREMI THE FIRST EDUCATED ONI, WHO ASCENDED THE THRONE IN 1930, PUT AN END TO IT DURING HIS REIGN.

SARAKI’S HIJACK

RIGHT FROM THE DAY SARAKI WAS ELECTED SENATE PRESIDENT HE WAS MARKED OUT AS ENEMY NUMBER ONE BY THE LEADERS OF THE PARTY WHOSE FLAG HE FLIES. SARAKI DREW THE IRE OF THE LEADERS BECAUSE HE STAGED A CIVILIAN COUP BY BEING SMART ENOUGH TO HIJACK THE SEAT DAVID MARK WILL SO LOVE TO HAVE. A DECISION THE LIKES OF AHMED LAWAN MAY NEVER BE HAPPY WITH. SINCE SARAKI HIJACKED THE SENATE SEAT HE’S STORY HAS BEEN MORE LIKE THAT OF A CHILD WHO SAYS HIS MOTHER WILL NOT SLEEP, OF COURSE THAT CHILD WILL ALSO BE COMPELLED TO KEEP VIGIL AS LONG AS THE MOTHER PLEASES BUT IN AS MUCH AS SARAKI IS YET TO GET SOME SLEEP, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT HIS ENEMIES CAN ONLY RELY ON THE CODE OF CONDUCT BUREAU AND IT’S SUDDEN REALISATION THAT SARAKI DECLARED FALSE ASSETS IN 2003.

THE DEATH OF ALAMS

IT IS BELIEVED THAT IT IS AS WE LAY OUR BED THAT WE LIE ON IT.
THIS WAS THE FAITH OF A FORMER GOVENOR WHO DIED AFTER REQUESTS BY THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO HAVE HIM EXTRADITED TO. BEFORE HIS DEATH, ALAMIEYESEIGHA (GFX ALAMMIEYESEIGHA) WAS WANTED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM ON ACCOUNTS OF MONEY LAUNDERING. BACK IN 2005 THE FORMER GOVERNOR WAS CAUGHT WITH 1 MILLION POUNDS (GFX: POUNDS STASH) CASH BY THE METROPOLITAN POLICE(GFX MET POLICE) BUT WAS ALLEGED TO HAVE BEAT SECURITY PROTOCOLS BY DISGUISING AS A WOMAN. THE MET POLICE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT “ALAMS”, AS HE IS FONDLY CALLED, ALSO HAD I.8 MILLION POUNDS STASHED IN A BRITISH BANK ACCOUNT AND OWNED A REAL ESTATE PROPERTY IN LONDON WORTH TEN MILLION POUNDS. AFTER FLEEING LONDON TO NIGERIA, HE WAS IMPEACHED ON THE 9TH OF DEC 2005 ON GROUNDS OF CORRUPTION AND JAILED FOR CORRUPT PRACTICES BUT ON MARCH 12, 2013, THE FORMER GOVERNOR WAS GIVEN A PRESIDENTIAL PARDON BY PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN. UNFORTUNATELY, SHORTLY AFTER THE WIND OF CHANGE BLEW AND SIGNS OF EXTRADITION CONTINUED TO DANCE LIKE A DETERMINED MASQUERADE, ALAMIEYESEIGHA WAS REPORTED TO HAVE DIED OF CARDIAC ARREST AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PORT HARCOURT TEACHING HOSPITAL, AGED 63.

DIEZANI ALLISON MADUEKE SCANDAL

DIEZANI ALLISON MADUEKE HAS HELD THREE SIGNIFICANT POSITIONS IN THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT CABINET. SHE WAS APPOINTED TRANSPORT MINISTER IN JULY 2007. ON 23 DECEMBER 2008, SHE WAS NAMED AS MINISTER OF MINES AND STEEL DEVELOPMENT. AFTER VICE-PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN BECAME ACTING PRESIDENT IN FEBRUARY 2010, HE DISSOLVED THE CABINET ON 17 MARCH 2010, AND SWORE IN A NEW CABINET ON 6 APRIL 2010 WITH ALISON-MADUEKE AS MINISTER FOR PETROLEUM RESOURCES.
AS MINISTER OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES, ALISON-MADUEKE PLEDGED TO TRANSFORM NIGERIA'S OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY SO THAT ALL NIGERIANS WILL BENEFIT BUT HER LAST DAYS IN OFFICE WERE MARRED WITH ALLEGATIONS OF ALL SORTS RANGING FROM CORRUPTION TO GRACING ANOTHER MAN’S BED.
ON OCTOBER 2, 2015, REUTERS REPORTED THAT ALISON-MADUEKE HAD BEEN ARRESTED BY THE NATIONAL CRIME AGENCY ALONG WITH FIVE OTHER PEOPLE ON SUSPICION OF BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION OFFENCES. HER FAMILY CONFIRMED SHE HAD BEEN ARRESTED IN LONDON.
ALSO, HER HOME IN ASOKORO, ABUJA WAS RAIDED AND SEALED BY ANTI-CORRUPTION AGENTS OF THE NIGERIAN ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION, SOON AFTER HER ALLEGED ARREST IN LONDON.
THERE ARE ALSO ALLEGATIONS OF FINANCIAL IMPROPRIETY LEVELLED AGAINST HER, ESPECIALLY THE ALLEGED DISAPPEARANCE OF $20BILLION, BUT ALISON MADUEKE HAS DESCRIBED THIS AS A LIE INTENDED TO CAST ASPERSIONS ON HER PERSON.
SHE RESPONDED BY SAYING, “HOW CAN $20BILLION DISAPPEAR JUST LIKE THAT? WHERE DID IT DISAPPEAR TO? IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SUCH AN AMOUNT WOULD NOT BE TRACEABLE?
WELL, WHETHER THE 20 BILLION IS MISSING OR NOT, ALLISON’S ARREST IN THE UK QUALIFIES HER TO BE ON OUR 2015 CONTROVERSIAL MOMENTS.

THE DASUKI SCANDAL

THE DASUKI SCANDAL CAME LIKE A WHIRL WIND, WE WERE FIGHTING BOKO HARAM (GFX ARMED MILITANT) OR SO WE THOUGHT. WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE CHIBOK GIRLS (GFX CHIBOK GIRLS) OR SO WE THOUGHT. WE KNEW WE HAD ENOUGH FUNDS TO BEEF UP OUR ARMY BUT STILL IT SEEMED LIKE WE WERE LOOSING. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT THE MONEY RECOVERED FROM THE ABACHA LOOT(GFX ABACHA) TO HELP FIGHT INSURGENTS WOULD BE RE-LOOTED BY THOSE IN WHOSE HANDS WE ENTRUSTED THE SECURITY OF OVER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY MILLION PEOPLE?(GFX : MAP OF NIGERIA) WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT ANYONE COULD SPEND 2.1 BILLION DOLLARS(GFX: STASH OF DOLLARS) ON MEDIA CAMPAIGNS, PRAYERS, AND INDUCEMENTS JUST SO AN ELECTION CAN BE WON BY THE SAME SET OF PEOPLE WHO CLAIM THAT WINNING AN ELECTION IS NOT A DO OR DIE AFFAIR? FOR THOSE WHO ARE YET TO REALISE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LOOTED FUNDS; A BILLION DOLLARS IS THE SAME AS A MILLION DOLLARS IN A THOUSAND PLACES.(GFX OF PLENTY STASHES OF DOLLARS)

THE DEATH OF AUDU ABUBAKAR

THE DEATH OF KOGI STATE GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE, AUDU ABUBAKAR, NEARLY BROUGHT HIS FAMILY TO ITS KNEES (SILENT FILM), AND AS IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH, IT ALL BUT TORE THE APC INTO SHREDS AND THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION INTO A KINDERGARTEN HANDBOOK. FOR THE APC, THE TASK OF PRESENTING A NEW CANDIDATE PROVED TO BE BIGGER THAN THEIR UNITY AS MANY FELT THEIR HEADS WERE WORTHY OF THE CAP ONLY ONE OF THEM CAN WEAR, AND FOR THE NIGERIAN CONSTITUTION; THE DEATH OF THIS EX-GOVERNOR TURNED GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE WAS UNPRECEDENTED AND CONFUSING TO THE POINT WHERE EVEN THE SENATE HAS NOT THOUGHT OF PASSING A BILL TO TACKLE THE LOOP HOLE THIS DEATH BROUGHT JUST IN CASE IT RECURS…..OR MAYBE THEY HAVE BUT STILL DON’T CONSIDER IT RELEVANT ENOUGH FOR A MOTION TO BE MOVED SO THAT THE COUNTRY CAN BE SAVED FROM SUCH CHALLENGE IN FUTURE.

THE EMERGENCE OF BUHARI/OSINBAJO

THE CHANGE MANTRA CAME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT AND TOOK US ALL LIKE RAPTURE WOULD. BEFORE THE ELECTION MANY WONDERED HOW THE INCUMBENT WILL BE DEFEATED WITHOUT THROWING THE COUNTRY INTO A CIVIL WAR. SOME WROTE OPEN LETTERS AND SOME WERE SYCOPHANTS (GFX OBASANJO). SOME SWITCHED POLITICAL PARTIES AND SOME VISITED MEN OF GOD WITH HOPES OF GETTING THE SUPERNATURAL HELP THEY BELIEVE IS REQUIRED TO WIN AN ELECTION. SOME STEPPED ON TOES AND WERE NEVER FORGIVEN. SOME ELECTORAL CANDIDATES WERE ARM TWISTED AND SOME REFUSED TO COWER. SOME CITIZENS TOOK THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN WHILE SOME STAYED BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED ALL WILL BE WELL. SOME MEN OF GOD MADE PREDICTIONS AND SOME FELT IT WAS BETTER TO KEEP THEIR MOUTHS SHUT.AS RESULTS WERE COLLATED ,TEMPERS FLARED, WE EXPERIENCED THE “ORUBEBEIC RANTS” OF A CERTAIN FORMER MINISTER OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC(VIDEO OF ORUBEBE) AND HOW HE WAS SERVED A DOSAGE OF “JEGAMAICIN TABS” BY A CERTAIN INEC CHAIRMAN(VIDEO OF JEG’S RESPONSE).IN THE END, WE ALL EXPERIENCED A GESTURE WE COULD NEVER HAVE PREDICTED EVEN IF WE WERE RENOWNED SOOTHSAYER: THE INCUMBENT THREW IN THE TOWEL BEFORE RESULTS WERE EVEN ANNOUNCED AND LEFT THE OFFICE WITH HUGE ADMIRATION FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.(VIDEO OR AUDIO OF THE PHONE CALL).THE CHANGE MANTRA ENDED UP SWEEPING TWENTY-ONE STATES OUT OF 36 WITH A TOTAL NUMBER OF 15,424,921 VOTES AND LEFT THE INCUMBENT WITH FIFTEEN STATES AND THE FCT AFTER IT SECURED A TOTAL OF 12,853,162 VOTES.(GFX: TABLE)

I bet she's not the only one out there...well, at least we can be sure she'll get some jail time, unlike some countries where cases like this ends with bribing the police.
