Buhari should just go and sit down.. He is not fit to rule this country period

another Jonathan in the making? He had patience and so did we but now we have ai sha! (exclamation of helplessness) Lol.

this photo is loaded with many revelations.
I can see in the eyes if the innocent child a longing for care and succor from a fake politician who couldn't even at least carry her close to his chest and pat her like a person who really cared for and loved her would.
I see hypocrisy in display as the sun beamed heavy on the face of our respected SPEAKER

Adieu to the future of Osun State.

A state once filled with the "living spring" (prosperity) is becoming "the State of Hypocrites poised as Omoluabis" who suck the masses dry to water many hazardous gardens.

Many people are speculating that the beef won’t go away soon and truth is it might not. Here are three reasons why:
1) The Streets Always Win
Born and bred in Bariga, Olamide is of the streets, that’s why he could fling the mic and his cap on stage. When you are of the streets, your first instinct is to express your displeasure to create the maximum effect. That is why streets fights are always bloody. The first tactic is call off your opponents bluff by making a greater bluff.
2) Don Jazzy Took it Personally
Olamide didn’t mention anyone, he only said ‘Iya Laya Anybody’, the voters choose Reekado Banks and Olamide simply attempted to remind everyone about Lil Kesh’s great music. Don Jazzy went on stage and he directly insulted Olamide, that’s where we draw the line. Mavin Boss, YBNL Boss, Olamide and Don Jazzy both bear the name boss, they both have cub artists to protect and they both do their own protecting in different ways. Don Jazzy shouldn’t have taken it personal.
3) Publicity Stunt
At the end of the day, we will hear Olamide and Don Jazzy feature in Reekado Banks ‘I Will Always Protect You’ Hit Single, that’s the way our entertainment industry works. Almost everything is a publicity stunt. Our entertainers understand the food of Nigerians and they are ever willing to feed us, a thousand blog posts, twitter searches, google searches will birth from this. Next year, people will stay glued to 2016 Headies to ensure they don’t miss another debacle.

With the judiciary already handling allegations
by the present Federal Government that a huge
portion of the funds for fighting insurgency was
diverted by its predecessor, the subject is
hardly ripe for comments by columnists who
appreciate the rule of law. In the meantime
however, there are a number of instructive
statements in the public domain which we
cannot ignore. A good example of such
statements is the one credited to Dr. Peter
Odili, a former governor of Rivers State.
According to media reports, the former
governor admitted receiving N100million (not
from any insurgency fund) but from the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the
contact and mobilization in the South-South
for the 2015 elections. He also reportedly
affirmed that he has never had any dealings
with the embattled Sambo Dasuki the former
National Security Adviser (NSA). Odili was
reacting to the allegation that 6 persons
namely Bode George ( South-West); Amb.
Yerima Abdullahi (North-East); Peter Odili
(South-South); Attahiru Bafarawa (North-
East); Jim Nwobodo (South -East); North-
Central (Ahmadu Ali) received from the office of
the NSA, N600million. Nwobodo and George
have since similarly denied the charge.
Until the judiciary pronounces on the subject,
no one can say the denials are right or wrong;
and this article as earlier hinted is not about
who is guilty, rather we are interested in the
other dimension of huge sums for
electioneering in Nigeria. If only one political
party spent N600million just for mobilisation, it
becomes obvious that as Nigerians, we need
to stand up against the politicisation of our
nation. The point becomes more glaring when
we add the other huge figures being peddled
about in connection with publicity expenses for
the same election.
Tunde Salman, the Director of
Communications, Elections Observation Centre
for the Centre for Policy Advocacy and
Leadership Development (CPALD) in a recent
study attempted to track Political Advertorials
for the 2015 Presidential Electioneering Campaigns in Nigeria for the Print Media only.
He reportedly found that the sum of N3, 835,
898, 475 was spent on only that component of
election campaigns output. When
disaggregated, the APC Presidential candidate
and his support groups according to the study
spent N724, 540, 609 while the PDP
Presidential candidate and his support groups
spent N3, 111, 357, 876 respectively meaning
that PDP may have spent 4 times more than
APC. The study also revealed that third party
spending, particularly for the PDP candidate,
contributed significantly to this expenditure
subhead.
Considering the capital intensive nature of
broadcasting, items such as jingles,
documentaries and hate speeches which
characterized the 2015 elections may have
consumed unimaginable sums from which
many persons seem to have benefitted. Even
before the legally approved time for election,
many support groups had spent huge sums.
For example, although former President
Goodluck Jonathan, for as long as two years
to another election, supposedly pleaded
severally not to be distracted from
governance, a Pro-Jonathan group,
Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria (TAN),
went round the 6 geopolitical zones galvanising
the people to persuade an ‘unwilling’ Jonathan
to contest for a second term.
Nation-wide, TAN collected millions of ghost
signatures in support of Jonathan. How much
did TAN spend and from where did its leaders
collect their own mobilisation funds? We need
answers because except we trace the sources
of money being spent by such third parties, we
cannot put a halt to the trend whereby
candidates at Nigerian elections design
strategies of evading campaign finance rules
and regulations.
Meanwhile, there are regulations fixing what
can be spent during elections. In fact, the
amended Electoral Act, 2010, makes elaborate
provisions on financial guidelines for politicians
and political parties. Section 91 of the Act for
instance directs that the maximum election
expenses to be incurred by a candidate in a
presidential election should not exceed N1
billion. Similar ceilings are set for governorship
elections at N200 million, while elections to the
Senate and the House of Representatives are
not to exceed N40 million and N20 million
respectively. There is even the interesting rule
that no one is allowed to make a donation
above N1million, but this and all other
regulations are constantly breached making it
obvious that the nation, under money-bag
leaders is unwilling to implement the law
thereby tacitly empowering people with ill-
gotten wealth to win elections
Those who have often asked why elections in
Nigeria are ‘a do or die’ matter may have
heard many times that it is because our
political system is a winner takes all type.
What people forget to add is that as a result,
we do not hold elections, we merely purchase
consciences. Those being purchased are not
the unemployed as is often alleged; money
bags many of whom retrieved such bags from
the public treasury can buy and do buy any
type of wealthy opinion leader. All those who
imagine that an incumbent can hardly be
defeated in a Nigerian election are merely
alluding to the opportunity he has to use
public funds to buy everyone just as he can
use his office to favour supporters and harass
opponents. For the journalist, it may be simple
brown envelope but what traditional rulers get
would be hard to imagine but different from
place to place. In the sophisticated southwest,
it could be dollars and plenty of it. In my
State-Edo, noisy chiefs get Prado jeeps and
become campaign managers in chieftaincy
attires.
Again, incumbents are so power drunk that
they can do and undo. If you speak the truth in
office which is not exactly in favour of an
incumbent, you may be as distinguished as
General Martin Luther Agwai, you will get the
boot. Indeed, even if you are a former
Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces
planning to contest a Presidential election,
someone in the Army, your former
constituency, will be made to issue spurious
statements about your certificates. How
Professor Attahiru Jega immediate past
chairman of our electoral body managed to get
out of it is one reason why this writer supports
encomiums being poured on the man now. It is
however hoped that the Dasuki probe will
better position the nation to appreciate what
our leaders do in office.

THE Balogun of Ibadanland, High Chief
Sulaimon Adegboyega Alao Omiyale, who was
next to the throne of Olubadan of Ibadan is
dead. The reigning Olubadan, Oba Samuel
Odulana, celebrated his centenary birthday
recently.
Chief Omiyale who reportedly died on Saturday
evening at the University College Hospital,
UCH, Ibadan, died at the age of 91.
Eventhough he was ripe in age, the families
and other sympathisers wept profusely during
his burial rites yesterday.
The remains of the chief were interred at Ope
Agbe Palace, Omiyale house, Oja’ba, Ibadan.
In his sermon at the burial ceremony, the Chief
Imam of Ibadanland, Sheikh Abdul-Ganiyu
Abubakri Agbotomokekere, said only Allah
could determine when and how anybody would
die.
The family representative, Baale Olomi village,
Ibadan, Chief Samuel Layode Oyewale, said the
deceased who became Mogaji of the
compound in 1967 lived a fulfilled life noting
that his death was a great loss to the family.
Among the dignitaries that called on the family
of the deceased were the former governor of
Oyo State, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, High
Chief Lekan Balogun and many others.

This is good. Now they can feel among.

I will exalt You You are my God My hiding place My safe refuge My treasure, Lord you are My Friend and King Anointed One, Most Holy Because You're with me I will not fear. - Hillsong

We are investigating the disappearance of
# Chelmsford woman Carlie Johnson and need to
trace this man pictured with her on CCTV in
# London .
Carlie has been missing since Friday, October 16,
when she failed to return home after a day in the
city. She was due to catch a train back to
Chelmsford from Liverpool Street station but
instead is believed to have stayed in the capital.
We are releasing a CCTV image of the 28-year-
old woman in the company of a man outside the
XOYO club in Cowper Street, near Old Street
station in the city.
Officers want to trace this man as he may be
able to help piece together the missing person’s
movements after this image was captured at
4.12am on Saturday, October 17.
Carlie is described as white, 5ft 8ins tall, with
very long straight brown hair. She was wearing a
long black coat, jacket, sleeveless cream blouse,
short black skirt with gold buttons down the side,
tights and black high heels. She may also have
had flat shoes with her.
The man in the CCTV or anyone who knows who
he is should contact police at Chelmsford on 101.
Equally anyone who has any information about
where Carlie may be should also get in touch.

My point is there are societal vices in every country, we should stop making it look like it's only in Nigeria.

LAGOS—The Vice Chancellor, University of Lagos,
UNILAG, Professor Rahmon Bello has said that
adequate compensation must be made by Eko
Electricity Distribution Plc, EKEDP to the family of
late Miss Oluchi Anekwe.
Bello who spoke during a press briefing at the
institution’s conference centre said: ‘’The Federal
Government panel findings has established that
the faulty cable which caused Oluchi’s death
belong to EKEDP and they must pay
compensation to the family of the deceased.
‘’EKEDP has put in place an Assurance Policy by
an Insurance company whereby a compensation
will be paid to family of a deceased in case of
lost of life. The Insurance company has been
contacted to come and assess the damage and
give their recommendations for compensation. As
soon as this is done, we will know the amount.’’
Contrary to reports that late Oluchi was not
professionally handled when she arrived at the
Medical Centre, Bello disclosed that the
University panel has established that both the
nurse and doctor on duty confirmed she had no
pulse on arrival and she was brought in dead to
the Medical Centre.
He said: ‘’In accordance with standard practice,
while her body was deposited at the mortuary, an
autopsy was conducted and the pathologist came
to the conclusion that her death occurred within
seconds to few minutes of contact with the 11KV
electric cable.’’
He, however said that to forestall future
occurrence, on August 26, 2015, in a later, the
institution had requested EKEDP to ensure that
all overhead cables within the campus are buried
in line with safety standard.
You will recalled that on Tuesday, September 8,
2015 at about 7pm an 11 KV overhead
transmission cable belonging to the EKEDP,
which supplies power to Onike and other
neighbouring communities around UNILAG fell
and electrocuted Oluchi Anekwe, a 300-Level
Accounting student.
Meanwhile, on the findings of Mr Baruwa Afeez
Akinfolarin who allegedly raped a female seeking
admission, the Vice Chancellor said: ‘’Baruwa is
not a staff of the Department of Accounting.
According to him, Baruwa had never taught any
course in the Department of Accounting or in any
other department in the Faculty of Business
Administration.’’
He explained; ‘’the relationship that Mr. Baruwa
Afeez Akinfolarin had with the UNILAG is that he
was a former student of the university where he
did his undergraduate degree course at the
Distance Learning Institute, DLI and also his
Postgraduate degree course M.Sc. Marketing in
the Faculty of Business Administration. ‘’He was
later engaged by the DLI as a project supervisor
and invigilator for its residential programme in
the 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 Academic

Korede Bello, the rave of the
moment in the music
industry, has said that his
new song entitled “Somebody
Great”, was a prophecy to
inspire people to greatness.
Mr. Bello told the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Lagos on Friday that he wrote
the song to make people
visualise success in their
minds and then work hard to
achieve it.
The new song currently
enjoys massive airplay on
radio just like the first single,
entitled “Godwin”.
“[It’s] about the people, how
we were born into this world
and we don’t know how the
journey will go and how one
love will take us from nobody
to somebody.
“How I one day hoped that
my voice would unite people
and stop bombing and
fighting and tribulations.
“That my voice would
command authority; it’s not
just me, it’s about alleviating
people from oppression and
mental poverty.
“You can be somebody great
from nobody to somebody,
you can be anything you
want to be: have love for
God, love for people, one
love.
“But also one of the reasons
why I wrote that song is for
people to see themselves as
great.
“Because before you can be
somebody great, you need to
first see it in your mind and
you need to prophesy it to
yourself, you need to say it to
yourself.
“And I guess, those are some
of the privileges of being a
musician because you can put
things out there in a melodic
form that can change people’s lives
forever.
“The song is more like prophesy for
everybody that listens to it to be able to
command authority; command respect
and most of all, have mental wealth,”
said the musician.
Mr. Korede also told NAN that the song
was about his personal struggles, and
how he triumphed to become a star from
nothing.
NAN reports that Korede Bello has a
contractual agreement with Don Jazzy’s
Marvin Records alongside Tiwa Savage,
Reekado Banks, D’ija and Dr Sid.

Fashola, in particular, was clearly fed up with being under Tinubu’s political shadow. In the struggle for who would be the APC governorship candidate in Lagos State, Tinubu did not allow Fashola to choose his successor, in the ignoble tradition of Nigerian governors. While Fashola favoured Dapo Sasore, the former Attorney General of Lagos State, Tinubu railroaded in Akinwunmi Ambode as the APC candidate. While again, in the ignoble tradition of Nigerian politics, governors promptly transform themselves into Senators when their term as governor ends, this option was closed off to Fashola because Tinubu had already installed his wife as the Senator from Fashola’s constitutency. The only option left for Fashola politically was presidential ministerial appointment and, even there, Tinubu had put up a road block against him. Tinubu prefers to nominate political nonentities for higher office in the South-West, so that he would be the only Iroko tree in the forests of the region. Therefore his candidates for ministerial appointment from Lagos were his little nationally- known former commissioners, Wale Edun and Yemi Cadosso, who could pose no threats whatsoever to his ascribed South-West political supremacy. Alarm bells:But when Fashola and Fayemi accompanied Buhari to the G7 meeting in Germany in June 2015, alarm bells started ringing in Tinubu’s Bourdillon Road mansion in Lagos. This was clearly a signial that these former governors were intent on by-passing the official godfather of the South-West by applying to be members of Buhari’s kitchen cabinet on their own recognisance. The Tinubu brigade would have none of this. Therefore, a campaign of calumny was launched to cut Fashola in particular to dimunitive size. Suddenly, the “memo” was sent out implying the former governor had developed political leprosy. When two books were launched simultaneously celebrating his achievements as governor, none of his APC colleagues from Lagos dared to attend for fear of entering the bad books of the dreaded Jagaban. In order to nail the coffin on Fashola’s ministerial aspirations, it was leaked to the press that a whopping 78 million naira of public money was spent on the construction of his personal website. 139 million naira was also alleged to have been spent on two boreholes constructed in Government House, Lagos during his tenure. The intention here was to ensure that Fashola becomes ineligible for ministerial consideration on grounds that he would not pass Buhari’s anti- corruption integrity test. However, Buhari was apparently unimpressed by these political shenanigans. When his list of ministerial nominees were unfurled, Fashola and Fayemi featured prominently among Buhari’s “first eleven.” None of Tinubu’s nominees made the list. Other nominees from the South-West were precisely the kind of people Tinubu did not want in Buhari’s team; people who would not be indebted to Tinubu but to Buhari. While Buhari completely ignored Tinubu’s candidates, he included that of another South- West bigwig. Obasanjo’s favourite-son, Prince Olagusoye Oyinlola, former governor of Osun State, was included in Buhari’s list. Thereby, the president asserted the saliency of Obasanjo’s South-West influence in Aso Rock over that of the Jagaban. He even pointedly appointed Obasanjo as his special envoy to Guinea-Bissau. This is certainly not what Tinubu bargained for when he decided to pitch his tent with Buhari and the APC. If he were to be furthermore overlooked in the appointment of BOT chairman of the APC, the marginalisation of the Jagaban in the post- election APC would be complete. Comeuppance: Some of us saw this coming. In the heady early days of the APC coalition, we warned that Tinubu would be used and dumped. But we were labelled as PDP lapdogs and charlatans. That is why I say today: let no one cry for Bola Tinubu. Anyone who hears Tinubu’s recent vicious attack on Saraki would realise these are the tokens of a frustrated man. Tinubu could not attack the President, therefore he poured all his venom on the Senate President. He accused him of indiscipline and disloyalty; the very things he celebrated in the PDP rebels who joined forces with him against their party in 2011. Face saving device The recent declaration that Buhari appointed Babachir Lawal as Secretary to the Government of the Federation at the instance of Tinubu is a face-saving device. The Tinubu camp forgot to tell us this until now. At the time of new SGF’s appointment, all the uproar was about the Northern lopsidedness in Buhari’s choices. Observing the sidelining of Tinubu by Buhari, Senator Femi Okunroumu said: “I am having a good laugh. This is what I expected. In any case, Tinubu is stretching his luck too far as he wants to dictate who will rule Nigeria. Tinubu’s wings need to be clipped. With the ministerial list, Tinubu has been dumped. He should not just be dumped, he should be disgraced.” On his part, Afenifere chieftain, Chief Ayo Adebanjo, said: “APC is not a party; it is a gang of people whose sole aim was to remove Dr. Goodluck Jonathan as president. In a real party, you share the spoils of office before elections not after elections. This is what is happening in APC. We warned our people, but they failed to listen.” In the new politics of today’s APC, it is better to be the enemy of Bola Tinubu than to be his friend. The enemies of Tinubu become Senate presidents; they become Speakers of the House of Representatives; they become ministers of the Federal government. But the friends of Tinubu are sent to Siberia. The Jagaban of Borgu himself has been slain politically upon his high places. How are the mighty fallen!

In 2015, Tinubu received payback for these shenanigans again to the detriment of his native South-West. The same Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto he schemed into the position of Speaker in 2011, repaid Tinubu by frustrating his efforts to install his Lagos acolyte, Femi Gbajabiamila, as Speaker in 2015. Taking a leaf straight out of Tinubu’s 2011 playbook, Tambuwal conspired with opposition PDP members to install another Northern PDP turncoat, Yakubu Dogara, as Speaker. Tinubu’s comeuppance here is particularly savage because it was actually Gbajabiamila who reportedly convinced Tinubu that Tambuwal would readily act as traitor to his PDP party in 2011. It is therefore veritable poetic justice that the same Tambuwal became an equally ready tool of the PDP in the frustration of Gbajabiamila’s ambitions and the interests of Tinubu and the APC in 2015. Moreover, Tinubu was repaid for his 2011 manipulations with interest. The same treachery employed to Tinubu’s political disadvantage in the House was also duplicated in the Senate. Bukola Saraki, another PDP turncoat, refused to abide by the dictates of APC Central, firmly controlled by Tinubu’s ACN. He snatched the position of Senate President without official APC approval, but with the support of the opposition PDP. So doing, he sidelined both Tinubu’s first- choice of George Akume, as well as his second- choice of Ahmed Lawan. Crumbled cookie Just as Tinubu was licking his wounds at the denial of his “rightful inheritance” in the National Assembly after the APC victory at the polls, the news came that his political cookie had equally crumbled at Aso Rock. It had been popularly alleged that Tinubu’s portion in Buhari’s presidency would not be limited to the appointment of his political godson as vice- president, but would also include the allocation of no less than nine choice ministerial nominees to the discretion of the Jagaban of Borgu. But by the time Buhari unfurled his ministerial list two weeks ago, the alleged dedicated slots had shrunk to zero. Many of us had warned in the heady days of the formation of the APC that those insistent that power must return to the North would be determined to checkmate Tinubu if and when the election was won. We warned Tinubu that even as he cannot conceivably be accepted nationally to rule Nigeria as president, even so can he not rule Nigeria by proxy. We warned him that the North would never allow Buhari to be his Man Friday in Aso Rock. However, Tinubu was too far gone to listen. It would now appear that he even failed to take out insurance policies against such probable eventualities. But once elected, Buhari started a romance with Babatunde Fashola and Kayode Fayemi designed clearly to sideline the Jagaban. While these former governors were previously members of Tinubu’s inner-circle, they had since run out of patience with the heavy handedness of their boss. Therefore, during the election campaign, both of them campaigned for Buhari above and beyond the call of party duty.

MANY monuments have been built in honour of
the man Bola Tinubu. He is acclaimed as the
political genius of our times who not only
engineered the taming of the PDP juggernaut, he
caged it and confined it to the backwaters of
Otuoke. Since the APC defeat of the PDP in the
presidential election, Tinubu the tactician has
been feted, celebrated and praised to high
heavens. But all these encomiums have proved
to be highly exaggerated.
The truth of the matter is that Tinubu, the
veritable Jagaban of Borgu, is a master of
political illusion. He is remarkable for the
distinction of characteristically pulling defeat out
of the jaws of putative victory. He mid-wifed the
birth of the APC, only to be shut out of its vice-
presidential sweepstakes. He engineered APC”s
victory at the centre, only to see his arch-
enemies take over the posts of Speaker and
Senate President in the National Assembly. He
piggy-backed Buhari to the presidency, only to be
shut out of a say in the president’s cabinet
nominees.
Tinubu is called the National Leader of the APC
when there is no such post in the party’s
Constitution. When a critical meeting of APC
bigwigs was called to address the party’s
imbroglio in the National Assembly, the “National
Leader” could not attend because, in actual fact,
he is not even a member of the National
Executive Committee (NEC) of the party.
Sowing and reaping
In 2011, Tinubu was hailed for cutting his nose to
spite his face. The PDP nominated his
kinswoman, Mulikat Akande, as Speaker of the
National Assembly. However, Tinubu conspired
with recalcitrant PDP party-members to frustrate
the plans of their party for his South-west
homestead. Instead, he engineered the election
of Sokoto’s Aminu Tambuwal, an APC wolf in
PDP sheep’s clothing, as Speaker.

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, a chieftain
of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA),
Campbell Umeh-Nzekwe has said that it is time
for the South-East to produce the next
president.
Umeh-Nzekwe who is the deputy national
organising secretary of APGA said that 2019 is
the best time for Ndigbo to work in unison to
produce the next number one citizen.
He added that his party has a better chance of
winning the presidential election as votes from
the North will be divided following the zoning of
presidency to the north by the All Progressives
Congress and Peoples Democratic Party.
The APGA chieftain said that his party will key
into this likely division in the north to
consolidate on its position in the South-East.
He frowned at the situation where people from
his zone gave other geopolitical zones bloc
votes at the detriment of their own people,
saying that he is very confident that his
kinsmen in the PDP will do the right thing by
backing an igbo candidate from APGA in 2019.
Umeh-Nzekwe: “The PDP has zoned its
presidency to the North while the national
chairman slot has been zoned to the South-
West. APGA has thus zoned the presidency to
the South-East. Hence, the PDP will be buried in
the South-East in 2019.
“Those Igbo who used the PDP to destabilise
the Igbo race will naturally rejoin their brothers
and sisters in APGA to work towards the
Nigerian presidency.

ABUJA — STRONG indications have emerged
that tomorrow’s plenary session, where the
Senate would unveil the ministerial list sent by
President Muhammadu Buhari, may be stormy
as senators are saying the President must, in
line with the constitution, submit himself
before the Upper Chamber for screening if he
appointed himself Minister of Petroleum.
They are also set to reject an incomplete list,
saying the constitution provides for a nominee
from each state of the federation and that any
list that did not cover the 36 states would
suffer serious opposition on the floor of the
Senate.
The senators have also vowed that they would
not be cowed by the trial of Senate President,
Dr. Bukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct
Tribunal, CCT, just as they promised to adopt
stringent measures in line with the provisions
of the Constitution during the screening of
ministerial nominees.
They added that the tradition of take-a-bow
for senators coming for screening as ministers
would be jettisoned, adding that they were
prepared to send names of nominees to the
sender of such a list.
Senate President, Dr. Saraki, is currently facing
trial at CCT, following a 13-count charge
levelled against him by the Code of Conduct
Bureau, CCB, bordering on alleged corruption
and false declaration of assets in 2003 and
summoned him to appear before it, which he
did.

ollowing weekend’s hoodlums attacks on Gospel Tungba crooner, Yinka Ayefele, in in Akure, the Ondo State capital, he has been hospitalised owing to the impact of the injuries sustained in the attack. The popular musician was on Monday afternoon rushed to an undisclosed hospital in Ado Ekiti, where he had gone to honour the invitation of the Ekiti State government to perform at the World Teachers Day organised by the state government. A release signed by his Publicist, Mr. David Ajiboye disclosed that the versatile artiste was hit with a plank on his chest during the attack on him on Saturday in Akure. According to the release, “Yinka Ayefele (MON) was attacked by hoodlums on the outskirt of Akure on Saturday 3rd October, 2015 during the burial party of Madam Ebunoluwa Lydia Odumakinde where he was contracted to perform with his band members. “The hoodlums, after collecting N200, 000 from the artiste as “settlement” later demanded for a sum of N500,000 which did not go down well with Ayefele and in the process of the argument, he was hit on the chest by a plank which was thrown at him” The release added that Ayefele’s Ford Explorer 2015 model was vandalized and his recently acquired N150 million musical equipment was not spared. “The hoodlums vandalised the newly acquired musical equipment and the truck while his new Ford Explorer 2015 model SUV was also vandalised, as well. The band boys escaped unhurt contrary to reports in the media that they were beating,” said Ajiboye.

Good thought but it really gets boring when there are endless posts about the life of job seekers and there's nothing to show at the end.

It is quite disheartening, politicians have successfully broken down every pillar of democracy and yet they continue to woo the masses in a wealth of deceit. I'm guessing this Judge has been booked for persecution for speaking against the vermin and religious hypocrite poised as the saviour of the Osun masses which to him as evident are only touts, and political thugs. It's a shame really.
