PoliticsMixed Reactions Trail New PDP, APC Merger by vizboy(op): 10:06am On Nov 27, 2013
Nigerian lawmakers have made diverse
comments on the merger of the new Peoples
Democratic Party (nPDP) and the All
Progressives Alliance (APC), a development
expected to generated unexpected debates
related to its consequences in the plenaries of the upper and lower chambers.


The merger will be a source of worry for lawmakers,
as they will have to consider the legal implications if
they decide to move with the governors of the states
they represent. The law may not have implications on
the governor but on a lawmaker, the individual stands
a possibility of losing his seat.

After the declaration of the merger on Tuesday by the
chairman of the defunct nPDP, Mr. Kawu Baraje, some
lawmakers hailed the decision, describing it as “the
best decision the aggrieved group of governors
should take”.

Lawmakers, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
the party the governors broke away from, insisted
that the merger would not in any way affect the party.

Some other lawmakers said that the merger was long
expected while others did not see it coming. Other reactions stressed the fact that something had
been brewing beneath the surface and had finally
erupted with the merger.

Legal Consequence

Commenting on the legal consequence, a lawyer, Mr.
Bamidele Aturu, said that any lawmaker that is part of
the transition may lose his seat.

“Well, for governors there is really no legal
consequence because once you are elected as a
governor of a state it is assumed that you have a
state-wide mandate of the constituency, which is a
state to govern and he has been elected in his own
personal capacity as such.

“Although, the Supreme Court, in Governor Rotimi
Amaechi’s case made it clear that when you are
elected, you are being elected on the platform of a
party and it is the party that won the election.

“But the truth of the matter is that when it comes to
the consequences of leaving your old party to another
party that Supreme Court’s decision cannot hold
sway. There is no provision that says that if you move
over to another party you will lose you position,” Mr
Aturu stated.

He said that, legally speaking, the governors would
remain governors of their respective states and
would not be affected.

“But if you are a legislator and you move to another
party and you cannot show that your old party has
been racked with division, then, of cause, you will lose
your seat by virtue of the constitutional provision that
is relevant to this matter,” he explained.

Chima_Agbalajob: [size=15pt]What PDP must focus on now as it's utmost priority is to retain power.

PDP is the biggest and only truly national political party in Nigeria. That advantage must spur them now to go indoors and do some serious political re-engineering and re-alignment of political forces. Before PDP begin to map out which subregion must produce what position, they must secure 2 critical agreements.

1. Persuade President Jonathan to cede his right to run as President for re-election in 2015 to Vice President Namadi Sambo

2. Beg the South east to accept the Vice President position for 2 strategic reasons. which are only the PDP can guarantee an Igbo President and someone who is a Vice President for 8 years will have got enough political clout to do it,than just anyone who is picked from nowhere.

The rest of the political re-engineering to retain power can follow as soon as these two critical pieces have been secured.

Yeah goodluck to concede to sambo.

Yeah dream on.

PoliticsSHARIA Court:man With 3 Wives Sentenced To Death By Hanging For Impregnating Sis by vizboy(op): 9:42pm On Nov 25, 2013
Upper Sharia court in Bauchi has sentenced a 30-year-
old man, Umar Mohammed Kandahar to death by
stoning, for impregnating his younger sister. The court records, made available to journalists on
Wednesday in Bauchi , showed that Umar was
arraigned before Upper Sharia Court Unguwar Jaki, by
the Bauchi State Shari’ah Commission, where he
was accused of impregnating his younger sister from
the same father.

Counsel to the Shariah Commission, Barrister Dayyabu
Ayuba, told the court that the suspect is married with
three wives, but forcefully had sex with his younger
sister. According to Ayuba, the younger sister was brought
to his house by their father to help take her to school,
but instead, he forced her and had sexual intercourse
with her, when she was 16 years old. The act resulted
in pregnancy and she has already delivered a baby,
contrary to section 136(1) of the Bauchi State Penal code law 2001.

When asked by the presiding Shariah court judge, the
accused pleaded guilty, but disagreed that he forced
her to have sexual intercourse; instead he maintained
that she accepted to have a sex with him. The Shariah
Court Judge, Musa Barde sentenced him to death by
stoning. Meanwhile, the accused, has filed an appeal against
the judgment before the Bauchi State Sharia Court of
Appeal, arguing that he did not agree with the
judgment.

Counsel to Umar, Barrister Sadiq Abubakar on
Wednesday, filed a motion before Bauchi State High
court number seven, asking for the bail of the
accused, pending the determination of his appeal by
the Sharia Court of appeal. He told the court that the accused family suffered
because of his detention since 2011 and asked the
court to release him on bail, to ease the sufferings of
his family.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Aliyu Baba Usman, has
fixed Monday, November 25, 2013, for mentioning of
the appeal.

PoliticsJimoh Ibrahim Throws Energy Bank Of Ghana Into Crisis Over Loan Portfolio by vizboy(op): 10:26am On Nov 25, 2013
Energy bank of Ghana is in deep board crisis over how
to recover loan granted to Bar Jimoh Ibrahim, the
chairman of the Bank. The loans were taken by
companies within the Energy Group and most of the
loans were diverted. The bank secretary has
summoned several board meeting, which cannot hold, as most directors refused to attend. The directors are
jittery over the huge loan taken by Nigerian corporate
virus Jimoh Ibrahim popularly called the corporate
undertaker. The bubble is about to burst due to non-
repayment of various fraudulent loans granted to his
companies within the Energy group including Air Nigeria with forged bank resolution, which were
diverted into Jimoh Ibrahim personal account without
the knowledge of the company directors. One of the
items in the board meeting- agenda is the adoption of
Jimoh Ibrahim $5,598million loan consolidation
proposal into a newly floated company called ENERGY INVESTMENT (GHANA) LTD. The company is headed by
a former First Bank dismissed credit officer.

This company is also the investment arm of the bank
as the MD/CEO has no power to invest, a dollar or cedi
of the depositors fund. It should be noted that even
the MD/CEO of Energy Bank of Ghana, has been under
three months contract in the last four years, which is
renewable by Jimoh Ibrahim every three months. Bar Jimoh Ibrahim used the companies within the Energy
Group to obtain various loans from Energy Bank of
Ghana without the consent of the directors of the
companies. The board resolution is usually signed by
Jimoh in his capacity as the Chairman and any lawyer
nominated by him will sign as company secretary. The loan is then diverted into Jimoh Ibrahim personal
account and finally to ENERGY INVESTMENT (GHANA)
LTD for investment by Jimoh Ibrahim. During the Air
Nigeria era, several fraudulent loans were taken in
the name of Air Nigeria without the knowledge of the
directors but this came to my notice during repayment period. These loans once taken were diverted into Bar
Jimoh Ibrahim personal account. These loans were
used to finance several other investments, which has
now failed. The MD/CEO of Energy Bank of Ghana has
been mandated to source for international loan with
lower interest rate to restructure these loans but so far no luck. The objective is total restructuring of the
loan taken by Jimoh Ibrahim, which is in excess of $
5,598million

Since this year 2013, no board meeting has been held
by Energy Bank of Ghana. The Energy Bank Managing
Director, Samuel, a veteran of the banking industry
with over 27years experience is pleading for
retirement before the bubble will burst. Samuel, the
MD/CEO is finding it very tough to restructure the loans and has offered to resign which Jimoh Ibrahim
rejected with threat to assassinate him. This explained
why Bar Jimoh Ibrahim published his intention to
retire from Energy Group as the GMD in January next
year, just to avoid international prosecution. The
situation is so bad and every director is now being very careful as the bubble may burst any time from
now. Energy Bank will make history as the first
Nigerian Bank to fail in Ghana where depositors will
lose their money. Some depositors who are aware of
this development have started withdrawing their
deposit and money from the Bank. One of the branches in Ghana is seriously having a run down on it
activities. The bubble is already bursting.

THE LIFE AND JOB OF THE MD/CEO OF ENERGY
BANK OF GHANA IS ON THE FIRING LINE.

Where on earth, apart from Energy Group, is the
contract of employment of a Managing Director of a
bank fixed for three months and is subject to renewal
by the chairman. With this type of contract, the
Managing Director job is on the firing line every three
months. Just few months ago, Dafe the Chairman of National Mirror Editorial Board was alleged to have
committed suicide BUT we all know that Jimoh Ibrahim
murdered him. This explained the case of Femi Ige,
the Managing Director of Newswatch Communications
Ltd, who just took over from Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese,
Yakubu Mohammed and Soji Akinrinade group, whose contract was not renewed last two week. All effort
made by Femi Ige to explain, how innocent he was, on
an irrelevant issue boarding on Mrs Kayode house
maid turn secretary that Jimoh Ibrahim has been
sleeping with, turned to deaf ear. Femi Ige, who did
not know how Jimoh Ibrahim sex scandal involving a staff house maid leaked to the public, was fired. Even
Steve Ayorinde, the former MD/CEO of National Mirror
has been reduced to CEO without any power to
manage the National mirror. Today Jimoh Ibrahim has
taken over as the Editor-in-Chief of National Mirror and
a junior staff under steve before his elevation as CEO of the newspaper now issues query to steve.

It should be recalled that, it was the Afrixim Loan of $
40million granted to Air Nigeria that Bar Jimoh Ibrahim
diverted into the acquisition of Energy Bank of Ghana.
The loan was obtained in Sept 2011, transferred into
UBA account in London in faviour of Energy Bank of
Ghana and the bank was commissioned in Feb 2012. In addition to the $5000million loan, another loan of $
598million dollars was taken for the failed
International operations of Air Nigeria. Many Nigerians
can recall before the closure of Air Nigeria, how
passengers were asked to contribute 50 pounds at
London Gatwick Airport, which resulted to scuff between the staff of Air Nigeria and the passengers.

The business strategy of Jimoh Ibrahim is to use Air
Nigeria or companies within the Energy Group to raise
loan and the loan will be diverted into his personal
account. The entire business empire of Jimoh Ibrahim
exist on loans, fraud and fraudulent diversion, of
which, many of these loans will still be outstanding as at the time Jimoh would have retired from Energy
Group. There is no business being generated by his
business conglomerate, no business development
strategy and no marketing strategy to move the
business empire forward. Nicon Insurance Plc is under
liquidation, Nigerian Re-Insurance Corporation is out of operational existence due to non- compliance with the
statutory requirement, the Sao Tome University and
Energy Bank of Sao Tome are closed economy
investment. It is only a matter of time before the
bubble will burst as Jimoh Ibrahim is currently facing
various tax evasion charges by FIRS. A critical review of his entire business group by technocrats will
confirm the above assertion.

Energy Bank is in serious crisis with over $5,598Million
loan taken by the Chairman, Bar Jimoh Ibrahim; the
bank is in grave danger. Energy Bank of Ghana is
technically dead and its operations will soon be
suspended like Air Nigeria for one year, by Jimoh. The
central Bank of Ghana is not aware of the rot in Energy Bank of Ghanan. Nigerians travelling to Ghana and
transferring money through this bank should be
careful. The fraudulent activities of Jimoh Ibrahim
within this bank cannot be numbered. When, I told
Nigerians that Air Nigeria was a flying coffin, many
believed and those who were lured away by Jimoh Ibrahim CNN advert having been calling me for
assistance. Today, another round of CNN advert is
being advertised on Energy Group every week.
Nigerians should watch out for another drama as
Energy Bank of Ghana is about to fall. These CNN
advert, were done in the days of Air Nigeria and suddenly the Airline was closed. In the aviation
industry, Aircraft are supposed to be insured in line
with the aviation rules, that no chairman of an airline
should be a Shareholder in the insurancing company.
In the case of Air Nigeria, all passengers were insured
by Nicon Insurance Plc and re-insured by Nigeria Re- insurance Corporation; these dead companies are
owned by Jimoh Ibrahim. It means that in the event of
air accident, the beneficiaries of the passengers will
not be compensated and even any surviving
passenger will not be covered by the airline
insurance.

Any bank that accepts Jimoh Ibrahim transaction must
be ready to sack the Managing Director of the bank or
have the entire board dissolved or the bank must
collapse. Afribank now mainstreet bank and Former
Oceanic Bank are very good example. In most banks,
Jimoh Ibrahim comes with such a heavy loan request, that on default, the board will be in crisis and Jimoh
will ask the Directors to provide total solution to the
loan problems. At this point, the Directors are all in
crisis managing the difficult loan portfolio with daily
threat from Jimoh. Most of the securities pledged are
structured to expire within the life of the loan, without the critical issue being made known to the bank
Directors. A careful study in all the banks where Jimoh
Ibrahim has transacted business will reveal this
secret.

Most times, the documents pledged are retrieved from
the bank using ladies in legal department without the
knowledge of the Directors. To achieve this objective,
Jimoh will suddenly send cash gift of N5M to the lady
during her birthday, child naming ceremony, holiday
period and sometimes first class ticket just to draw the lady in question near. Various gifts will normally
follow the first N5M and eventually the lady is broken
and the deal to withdraw such documents struck.
Most senior staff ladies in Energy Group are from the
legal department of banks like Union Bank, Oceanic
Bank, Afribank, now mainstreet Bank or personal assistance to the bank CEO. Sex and new executive job
are offered to the lady, who will pull out the
document, while various spiritualists will be working
on the lady every day. Sometimes guarantee pledged
will expire before the end of the transaction. This is
deliberate as Jimoh Ibrahim is just a fraudster from birth.

Jimoh Ibrahim is the grand master of corporate
fraud in Nigeria, having been blacklisted by
Central Bank of Nigeria.

PoliticsKwara Gov’s Wife Denies Link Lagos Traffic Accident by vizboy(op): 1:40pm On Nov 21, 2013
The Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Mrs Omolewa
Ahmed, has denied a report by an online blog(not
informng.com), linking her convoy with a traffic
accident in Lagos last week in which two people
allegedly died.

Speaking through Dr. Femi Akorede, spokesperson to
the State Governor, Mrs Ahmed disclaimed any
involvement with the reported accident and
challenged the publishers to produce the Police report
linking her or her convoy with the incident.

“I have been reliably briefed by several people in
the convoy including the wife of the Governor and the
facts indicate that Mrs Ahmed’s convoy narrowly
escaped from the accident rather than causing it. On
the said day, Mrs Ahmed was returning from visiting
someone in hospital when her convoy narrowly escaped being hit by a tipper-truck, having left the
scene of the accident seconds earlier by choice of
providence. On noticing the out-of-control tipper truck
racing towards them, the remaining drivers quickly
left the junction and joined the convoy. The reported
accident, tragic as it is, therefore had nothing to do with Mrs Ahmed or her convoy. However, any loss of
life is tragic and sad no matter the cause.

“Furthermore, Mrs Ahmed was unaware of what
happened until she got to Ilorin and was told about the
near-mishap. As a kind-hearted person, she will have
offered assistance if she had been aware of the
incident at the time. We also only got an inkling of the
alleged casualty from the accident following a newspaper report the following day which however
did not mention her or her convoy”, said Akorede

“It is also untrue that the tipper truck in question
reportedly ran into by-standers in a bid to avoid a
collision with Mrs Ahmed’s convoy. Neither is it true
that the convoy was driving on the wrong side of the
road. All drivers in the convoy have a standing order
to avoid over-speeding and to always comply with traffic rules.

Police in the US state of Virginia say they believe
the son of a state senator stabbed his father
before shooting himself to death. Senator Creigh Deeds, a former candidate for
governor, is in “fair” condition from stab
wounds to his head and torso, said police.

The other person found in the property was Mr
Deeds’s son, Gus, 24, who died at the scene
from a gunshot wound. Police said they were not looking for any
suspects.

Virginia state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller
said investigators were still trying to figure out
motive and the sequence of events but said the
two men had been involved in an “altercation”. Ms Geller said that “based on the evidence we
have right now we are looking into this as an
attempted murder and suicide”.

Police said that despite his injuries Mr Deeds was
able to walk from his home in rural Bath County,
western Virginia, to a nearby road. A cousin who
was driving by saw him and picked him up,
making a call to emergency services. Mr Deeds, 55, was flown to the University of
Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville.

Ms Geller said that he had “been able to talk with
investigators and our troopers” about the
incident. The Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper reported that Gus Deeds underwent a mental- health evaluation at a hospital on Monday, but
was released due to a lack of psychiatric beds in
the area.

The state senator, a Democrat elected in 2001,
represents Bath County. He ran unsuccessfully in 2009 against current
Republican Governor Bob McDonnell. Four years
earlier he lost to Mr McDonnell in a tight race for
state attorney general. Shortly after the gubernatorial campaign, Mr
Deeds and his wife, Pam, were divorced.

He remarried last year but police said there was
no-one else in the house at the time of the
incident. ‘Exceptional public servant’ Governor McDonnell said in a statement: “Our
thoughts and prayers are with the Deeds
family.” He added: “Creigh Deeds is an exceptional and
committed public servant who has always done
what he believes is best for Virginia and who
gives his all to public service.”

Local politician David Toscano told the Washington Times that Tuesday’s incident was “a terrible tragedy”. “Senator Deeds was very close to his son Gus,
and has taken herculean efforts to help him over
the years,” said Mr Toscano.

Gus Deeds has enrolled at the College of William
and Mary in Virginia where he studied music, but
he had withdrawn last month, according to school
spokesman Brian Whitson. The college said he had a strong academic record
but did not say why he left.

He had earlier taken time off university to
campaign with his father during his bid for
governor. “He needs me and I need him,” Senator Deeds
told a reporter in the autumn of 2009, about
campaigning with Gus.
