Crime"I Spent What I Got On Prostitutes" - Pickpocket (photos) by verifielive(op): 4:36pm On May 15, 2016
Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command over the weekend arrested two suspected pickpockets operating in Maryland and Mile 12 areas of the metropolis.
The suspects, Taoreed Ashimiyu, 24, and Kayode Jolaade, 34, were allegedly caught in the act by policemen after they had successfully removed three phones from commuters in different BRT buses.
Upon their arrival at the RRS headquarters, the duo reportedly confessed to the crime, saying that they were experts in robbing commuters in Mile 12 and Maryland.
One of the suspects, Taoreed, who hails from Yemetu, Alawada in Oyo state, said that he spent the proceeds from stealing on prostitutes.

“I have not spent a dime from my proceeds in stealing on anything tangible. I womanise a lot and I spent my monies on both young and old ladies. I smoked indian-hemp and drink all sort of hard drinks,” he said.
Taoreed revealed that before his arrest, he had removed two mobile phones from commuters during a rush at the Maryland bus-stop, adding that his third attempt led to his arrest.
“My accomplice caused my arrest today. Before he joined me at Maryland, I had stolen two phones successfully.

” But when he came around, we had to be moving in pair. People who had known him in the area were monitoring us ,unknown to us,” Taoreed stated in his confessional statement.

Politics"Governors Spend N35Million In A Trip" - Orji-Uzor Kalu by verifielive(op): 4:04am On May 14, 2016
Former governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu has accused Nigerian governors of squandering their state funds on frivolities and personal luxury. Speaking to the State House Correspondents at the presidential villa in Abuja after a meeting with Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, Orji spoke against the recent demands from state governors to the FG for more funds, adding that the states had enough money to enable them carry out their statutory duties optimally.

Kalu hinted that state governors had a habit of earmarking N35 million for travel allowance and dipping their hands into the state security vote for personal use.

In his words;

[b]“I think most of these governors are doing very well and some of them also are living in the euphoria of the office.You can see most of them who are very active, I don’t need to count them for you. The issue of crying for fund, honestly, in my opinion, these governors have enough fund to work for their people because if you check, the money drawn as security vote is excessive. They should stop that.

Unless they stop drawing on security vote they will not have enough fund to work with and most of them are living in absolute luxury, which is not their money that they worked out for. So it is impossible to continue living in this manner. Most of the governors are even living in Abuja now, they don’t even live in their states, honestly. If you look at the books very well, in each trip they make, they will take travel allowance of N35 million, which is un-heard of.

What are you going to do with that. So, how are we going to progress. Not all the governors. I have gone through Rivers, I see that Rivers is hitting the ground. I have gone through Adamawa and I see Adamawa is hitting the ground. I have gone through few more states, they are hitting the ground, they are working. I don’t speak with sentiments. I don’t speak for anybody. You can see those who are working and those who are not working. Let them sit down and do the job they are elected for.”[/b]

EducationQueen's College Sexual Molestation Scandal : Accused Teacher Exonerated by verifielive(op): 3:39am On May 14, 2016
The scandal that rocked Queen's college about a month ago has finally come to an end as an investigation panel setup by the Ministry of Education could not find any evidence against the accused teacher.

The teacher, Olaseni Oshifala was accused of sneaking into the girl's hostel at night to handle and have intercourse with girls in their sleep.He was also accused of flirting with some of his female students. The Minister of State for Education, Prof. Anthony Onwukah had setup a panel to investigate the matter on March 22nd.

Briefing Newsmen in Abuja on Friday, Onwukah said;

“The Investigation Committee did not establish any credible evidence against the accused teacher, considering the fact that Mrs Chinenye Okoye remained unidentified, faceless and inaccessible despite the Committee’s best efforts and assurances to protect her identity and that of her daughter.

Consequently, the Investigation Committee finds it difficult to recommend disciplinary action against the accused teacher as the complainant failed to come forward to prove this weighty accusation.

The Committee could not establish any cover up of sexual molestation by the management of Queens College.The Federal Ministry of Education notes and accepts all the recommendations of the Committee and will take actions as appropriate,’’

PoliticsMike Awoyinfa Writes Touching Birthday Message To Late Dimgba Igwe by verifielive(op):
ke Awoyinfa and the late Dimgba Igwe were both Editors at the Sun newspapers. Dimgba died an accident late last year while jogging. He would have turned 60 on Monday 16th May,2016.

Below is Mike’s touching birthday message;

AS I write, the imaginary church bell of my broken heart tolls. It tolls 60 times. It tolls for you my friend and my de­parted brother who would have been 60 next Monday, on May 16, 2016.

The bell tolls and it tolls for our bond of friendship and brotherhood that defy the dif­ferences of tongue, tribe and religion that divide and disunite us as a nation. Our friendship and brotherhood go back to the Bible—your favourite book—to the story of David and Jonathan whose father Saul turned out an enemy who wanted David killed, yet their friendship was unalloyed. They were insepara­ble. Theirs was a friendship that “sticks closer than a brother.” (Book of Proverbs)

I cannot forget one morning when we were together at the burial of your mother-in-law and you said to me: “Mike you are my real brother.” I was so touched. In the Scriptures, Je­sus was similarly preaching to a crowd when He was told that his mother and brothers were looking for Him. And He re­plied: “Who is my mother and who are my brothers? Pointing to His disciples, He said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’”

I was your brother and you were my Bible teacher and spiri­tual mentor from whom I learnt a lot. I can never forget the pro­phetic speech you made on my 60th birthday, saying that if you go to sleep and did not wake up, you will be rest assured that “Mike will be there for me and my family.”

When I was 60, you rolled out the drums for me. You pulled every string to make it a grand occasion. For a start, I didn’t want any loud celebration. But you overruled, asking me: “Do you know what it means to be 60? And do you know your worth in this Nigeria?”

You gathered the whole world to celebrate with me at Sheraton where encomiums were poured on my poor head. Next there was a “Mike Awoyinfa Collo­quium on Tabloid Journalism” organised by City People’s pub­lisher Seye Kehinde where my contributions to Nigerian jour­nalism were acknowledged and discussed by journalism experts. And the thing is that whenever and wherever my name was mentioned, so was your name. Nothing I achieved in journal­ism was achieved individually. We achieved it together in our rare professional and business partnership that became a refer­ence point and a benchmark.

When it comes to organising an event, you were the chief organizer and a master plan­ner. Thanks to you, the 60th birthday celebration turned out memorable. I was hoping and looking forward to the time you would turn 60, when I would pay you back with a bigger celebration of your life packed with so much achievements— how you seamlessly combined life as a journalist and as a true man of God. Now, May 16 is here. And you are nowhere to be found. Like Jonathan said to David in 1 Samuel 20:18, “To­morrow is the new moon, you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.”

No one can fill your vacant seat. No one can fill your big shoes. You may be small in stat­ure, but you were a giant who bestrode the world like a colos­sus. You were the wise one, the one who knew everything in all fields. And you were a great teacher who poured ev­erything out for others to drink deep from your Pierian spring. Everybody learnt from you—in­cluding me. Be it in the news­room or the church. You were such a hard act to follow. Your happiest moment was when you were on the pulpit, dishing out erudite sermons straight from the throne of grace. As a writer and as a speaker, you delivered the goods in equal measure. It’s so sad that such a prodigious tal­ent should end so quickly in the graveyard.

Life indeed is a mystery. Death is even a greater mystery. Why do good people die so early? And why do bad people continue to live on and enjoy life, wallowing in the vain glory of our looted, empty treasury? The British Prime Minister has just said Nigeria is “fantastically corrupt.” I wish he had used a bigger, ignominious word to de­scribe our country mired in the morass of corruption and stolen wealth—even though his coun­try is also culprit in receiving stolen wealth. Wish you were still around to comment on the affairs of our beloved nation.

I miss you my friend. Every minute, every second, I miss you. Your family miss you most. Just this week, the pa­pers were looking for a story to mark your 60th birthday. Some journalists wanted to interview your wife, but she declined, say­ing she was not strong enough to reflect on life without you. I had to plead that they respect her feelings.

They say time heals. But time simply has refused to heal the wound, the pain, the agony of your sudden exit. Try as we want to relegate it to the back­ground and move on with life, the tragic event of September 6, 2014 looms large every time, haunting us all, like a horror movie that scares an innocent child. It was the day that will forever live in infamy. We only take solace in the belief that as a good servant of God, you have gone to God to be rewarded with a place of honour where all good people go.

Ours was a friendship made in heaven and consummated on earth. We met for the first time in the ’80s under the editorship of the legendary Dele Giwa, the pioneer editor of Sunday Con­cord who mentored us all. Giwa was one editor we could die for to get a good story. You and I became friends because we dis­covered we have a lot in com­mon: the passion for books and good writing skills honed under literary guru Dele Giwa himself. As the Bible says, “Iron sharp­eneth iron, so man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17) We collaborat­ed in many assignments which drew us closer and strengthened our friendship. In a moment of frustration, we decided to write a book. And that gave birth to the classic Art of Features Writ­ing which is a compulsory text in journalism schools. From there, more books evolved from our partnership: 50 Nigeria’s Corporate Strategists, Nigerian Marketing Memoirs, Segun Os­oba, The Newspaper Years, 50 World Editors and a wide rep­ertoire of books and biographies soon to be published.

Currently, we are writing a book on Nigeria’s boardroom gurus sharing their thoughts and experiences on “Board­room Leadership and Corporate Governance”—a book whose idea came after your death. For me, whether you are here or not does not matter. You are my co-author forever. From now till eternity, all the books I write will still carry your name because from the grave you still contribute your own quota. In the spirit world where you are, I can hear you cheering, inspir­ing and interceding for me. And God has been so faithful and merciful, helping me and giving me the strength and wisdom to carry on without you my friend. Even death, with all its ironclad power, cannot break our friend­ship.

So on Monday, May 16, as we quietly celebrate your 60th birthday, the host of heaven will also celebrate with you in triumph for a life of service on earth to God and humanity. May there be rejoicing in heav­en for your sake. May there be a big birthday cake for you in heaven with your favourite bib­lical hero Apostle Paul supervis­ing the cutting. May the host of heaven surround you as you cut your 60th birthday cake. And may God bless and abide with the family you left behind in Je­sus name.

Let me end this piece with the bell metaphor which I started with. Of course you know the idea of a bell tolling was first written by John Donne and made even more famous by Er­nest Hemingway in his novel For Whom the Bell Tolls, just like Chinua Achebe got his No Longer at Ease title from T.S. Eliot’s Journey of the Magi.

This is from John Donne, to you and to me: “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is less, as well as if a promon­tory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death dimin­ishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bells tolls; it tolls for thee.”

Happy posthumous 60th birthday to my friend and men­tor Pastor Dimgba Igwe!

PoliticsCBN Denies Naira Devaluation by verifielive(op): 2:40am On May 14, 2016
Nigeria’s Apex bank, The Central Bank of Nigeria has denied reports that the Naira was secretly devalued to N290 to a dollar. The CBN also denied reports of plans to devalue the Naira in the future.

The bank’s Acting Director, Corporate Communications, Isaac Okoroafor, stated that the naira was never devalued further, saying the speculations are unfounded.

He said; “Naira has not been devalued. The naira devaluation rumour is untrue,”. Nigeria’s current economic crisis might not go away very soon due to fluctuating oil prices, devaluation uncertainties and shortages of forex. Although the CBN as has stiffened its defense of its exchange-rate policy, Devaluation might be a last resort if things don’t go as expected in the future.
