Decomposed body of kidnapped Otukpo catholic priest, Rev Fr John Adenyi, found

THE body of the abducted catholic priest Rev Fr John Adenyi, Vicar General of Otukpo Catholic Diocese, has been found dead by police in a bush few kilometres away from main road.
The Vicar General was abducted on April 24 by unknown persons along Otukpa - Enugu road while returning to Otukpo his base after a church service in Otukpa area of Ogbadibo local government.
Sources said that the decomposed body of the priest was found at Odoba in Otukpa area of Ogbadibo local government of the state, saying, “What was seen was cassock and sander on the skeleton which suggest that it was the remains of the kidnapped priest.”
Police spokesman, ASP Moses Yamu, told newsmen that police, on receiving information about the decomposed body found in the bush near the area the priest was abducted, condoned the place, adding that until the forensic anthropology is conducted before they can give useful information.
However, the state governor confirmed the discovery of the decomposed body of the catholic priest yesterday during the town-hall meeting he held with Igede people at the College of Education, Oju, auditorium as part of his ongoing stakeholders meeting.
He stated that the Rev. Father's skeleton was discovered on Tuesday in Otukpa, three kilometers away from the road and added that he has directed the police and medical personnel to collect the skeleton for post-mortem.
Paying respect to the soul of the departed priest, the governor asked the people to observe a minute silence for the repose of the soul of Adenyi, he however vowed that the abductors and killers of Father Adenyi must be brought to book.
It will be recalled that family members of the catholic priest had paid the N2million ransom agreed by the suspected kidnappers three days after he was kidnapped only for the suspects to switch of all contacts.
After fruitless efforts at rescuing the priest, the state governor had few weeks ago announced N5m reward for information about the discovery of the priest.
Reacting to the report, secretary general of Opiatoha Idoma, Mr Adoka Adaji said, “it is unfortunate that there is no security in Idomaland, otherwise, the kidnappers of late Rev Fr Adenyi would have been exposed, the Idoma people are no longer their brothers' keeper.”

Hmmmm! Interesting.

The Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, has threatened to name those who financed his governorship election in 2014 if they fail to stand up to the harassment of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, in response to EFCC’s allegation that he benefited from the illegal largesse from the office of the National Security Adviser under Sambo Dasuki, Mr. Fayose, on Wednesday, gave indications as to the sources of finances for his election.

According to him, Zenith Bank Plc largely funded his election, along with friends and associates who donated to his campaign.

The EFCC, in justifying its restriction on the account of the governor, said it had traced funds from the office of the NSA to the accounts of Mr. Fayose and, Musiliu Obanikoro, who is a former Minister of State for Defence.

The commission said the funds, amounting to about N4.7billion, was moved from accounts operated by two of Mr. Obanikoro’s sons where it was transferred to Mr. Fayose’s Zenith Bank account.

But the governor denied the allegation, saying he had no link with monies from the NSA’s office for which Mr. Dasuki and other leaders in the last PDP government are currently facing trial.

“I wish to state further that if it becomes evidently clear that those who willingly provided money for my election can no longer stand by what they did, may be because of threat from the EFCC, I will not hesitate to name names,” he said.

The governor also hinted that the bank only last week collected the identity card of Abiodun Agbele, the holder of the account through which it funded his campaign, in desperation to perfect the account apparently after submitting to the harassment of the EFCC.

“I must say it categorically that I don’t have any link financially with Obanikoro and I know as a fact that he (Obanikoro) has not; and cannot mention my name, as beneficiary of whatever money any company in which he has interest could have gotten from the ONSA if truly Obanikoro collected money from the ONSA as being claimed by the EFCC,” the governor declared.

“Therefore, bringing Obanikoro and his son’s narrative or that the Zenith Bank is telling different stories, having been blackmailed and coerced into submission by the EFCC is a joke that will not fly.”
Mr. Fayose also alleged that the bank opened the account for the purpose of the election, and requested him to present a trusted ally with which it would relate with.

“In actual fact, the account was opened by Zenith Bank hurriedly at that time and Abiodun Agbele’s identity card which ought to have been collected before the account was opened was only collected last week in the bank’s desperation to perfect the account obviously after submitting to the intimidation and harassment of the EFCC,” he said.

The governor described the EFCC’s case against him as “persecution” and a violation of his immunity, urging the anti-graft agency to also beam its searchlights on the funding of the campaigns of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Governor Fayose said:
"The allegation by the EFCC that the funds, amounting to about N4.7billion, was moved from accounts operated by two of Mr. Obanikoro’s sons where it was transferred to Mr. Fayose’s Zenith Bank Account in Ado-Ekiti is baseless. My 2014 election was funded by Zenith Bank Plc, fund raisers, donations from friends and associates, as well as sales of campaign souvenirs.

"I have no financial transaction whatsoever with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) under Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) and former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro either by cash, cheque or electronic transfer.”

Fayose challenged the anti-graft agency to publish statements made by Musiliu Obanikoro, his son or other persons associated with funds from the NSA’s supposedly used for his governorship election.

He said: “EFCC is only acting a movie scripted, produced and directed by the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Mohammadu Buhari just to silence me being a major opposition voice in the country.”

On the alleged involvement of President Buhari’s wife, Aisha, in
 the Williams Jefferson bribery scam, the governor challenged the president’s wife to visit the United States of America to convince Nigerians that she was not the Aisha Buhari mentioned in the judgment.

“It is on record that the President has visited USA three times and his wife did not travel with him. She ought to have visited USA last year September to chair a United Nation programme but she sent the wife of the Senate President, Mrs Toyin Saraki to represent her.

“I advise that they should keep their gun pounder dry and wait till the end of my tenure in 2018 and I want to assure them that I will be available to answer any of their questions, no matter how unreasonable.”

He added: “Furthermore, Nigerians should know that I have been persecuted by the EFCC before, using phantom N1.2 billion poultry scam and I came out victorious. I was not only acquitted, I got N10 million judgment against the EFCC and my impeachment that was orchestrated by the EFCC was quashed by the Supreme Court.

“Nigerians should recall that it was part of this plot to get back at me because of my critical stance on Buhari’s government that the Ekiti State House of Assembly was invaded by men of the Department of State Service (DSS), placement of travel ban on me and lately, illegal frozen of my account by the EFCC.

“I therefore make bold to state that in the overall interest of democracy and well-being of Nigerians, I will continue to speak my mind on issues bordering on governance in Nigeria. I will not be intimidated.”

The PDP Governors Forum has rallied behind Mr. Fayose condemning the action of the EFCC, particularly the restriction placed on the governor’s bank account.

Fickie:
UNCHAINED MAD DOG! UNCHAINED: Who can chain him? He fought his sister to the point of death. His wife dare not talk back at him. He has no leader. He slapped a Judge. He slapped a king. Who is there to chain him? He's loose! Out of control! MAD DOG: Backs irrationally. Bites sporadically. Pro Sheriff today, anti Sheriff tomorrow. Always moving to where he's never wanted. An 'executive ' person posing in front of an empty podium in far away China! Wife batterer. Judge beater. King slapper. Unchained Mad Dog is not an insult. It is a mere description of reality and destiny of a hooligan who occupies an exalted position.

You have started again, when they take those words from your mouth and use it against Buhari you will remember that is not good to insult a leader. Fayose is an elected governor backed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. His criticism of Buhari and his government does not warrant that every Dick and Harry should speak back at him. He is old enough to deal with his issues.
If he is such a mad dog as you depict, the good people of Ekiti State will not vote for him and want him as their governor.
Check the number of injustices metted to him since the inception of this Buhari administration. Bribing his state lawmakers to impeach him and when it failed many of them were bundled into jail. The same Fayose was restricted from travelling abroad as a governor and now, his bank account!
If you are Fayose, how will you feel?

mondbest:
I was listening to radio yesterday morning and some people were busy defending him as if he is not guilty of the acclaimed crime.
I so much thank God now that it has been revelaes finally.

Shame will now go to those who have been supporting him.

You mean GUILTY? So you have convicted him already in the court of media opinion? Haaa, this is perjury!
Check again and understand that even though none of us supports stealing but closing his account without conviction in a court of competent jurisdiction is bad. EFCC is not a court of law and is not above the laws of Nigeria that established it.
We should not clap for EFCC when it is wrong because we do not like Fayose. His rights as a sitting governor under the Nigerian Constitution has been trampled upon. Let truth be told!

madridguy:
First of all, am not a tribalist and I will never be a one. The fact remains that some people here are just behind anything that will bring down Nigeria. You see jubilation everywhere when there is terrorist attack, they want stable power supply yet they see NDA championing their course to bring down their zoo as they always say. They adopted every official charge for corruption, just for the hate of Buhari and Nigeria.

I understand your point but I need to tell you further that Nigeria is ours and is everybody's business. If you carry Nigeria's problem on your head alone, it will definitely weigh you down. Those people you think are clapping for evil to happen to Buhari today might be the greater beneficiaries tomorrow and praisers of Buhari when he succeeds.
That is life for you and such things happen to any government in power but when you answer back in hate or sympathetically, you risk public acceptance, no matter your good intention.
I have not seen a single Nigerian anywhere who hates Buhari. As the driver of Nigerias government, he is open to criticism as opponents will keep prodding until the best in him is brought out for all to see.
My dear, it is not easy to be a leader and as a leader, you must see all manner of things and learn to accommodate them. What makes one a good or bad leader is how one manages his subjects - both the good and the bad ones.
A security detail of a senior officer in the army assaulted someone while trying to protect his master from harm. When the master saw the reaction of the man assaulted that it will rub on his reputation, he apolgised and turned back to punish his orderly simply to calm frayed nerves. That's the spirit of a leader!
I pray our leaders will learn to accommodate every Nigerian. That is the way forward. I love you and wish we work together for a better Nigeria. God bless you.

THE WEAPON OF RUMOURS - The Preacher

I never knew that rumour is one powerful weapon with which God fights, especially against kings and their ferocious hosts; and Satan uses it, too.

Against The Assyrians

6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master  Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.

7 Behold, I will send A BLAST upon him, and He SHALL HEAR A RUMOUR, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land (2 Kings 19:6-7).

That was how God brought to an abrupt end the arrogant king of the Assyrians, who had been intimidating the Israelites and Hezekiah their king. God sent a rumour that turned him back home to the place of his death. No arrow was shot, no chariot stirred.

 Against King Saul

When King Saul the demons-possessed, with his army, had almost caught up with David the anointed of the Lord, to kill him, God used the same weapon against the mad king.

26    …and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.

27 But  there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.

28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David… (1 Samuel 23:26-28).

 Against The Syrians

A classic case of the rumour-weapon against God’s enemies is found in 2 Kings 7:6-7. The Syrians had besieged the capital city of Samaria for so long that a famine had ensued in the city and the Israelites had begun to prey on their own babies for survival (2 Kings 6:24-33). That was when Elisha issued the word that fired the prophetic ballistic missile of rumour against the formidable army of Syria.

6 For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians TO HEAR A NOISE of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and THEY SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hitties, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

7 Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight… (2 Kings 7:6-7).

It was the footsteps of four daring leprous men that God amplified in the form of all sorts of fearful cavalry sounds, until the ballistic rumour burst and scattered the army that had resolutely entrenched itself around Samaria for several months. Just one early morning rumour, and the siege was over; thereafter, the abundant food that the enemy had intercepted at the gates of their city while they starved to death, came into their land, and for the first time in many months, they greeted one another with a very meaningful “Good Morning.” A rumour from God had done in one early morning what the whole army of Israel had been unable to do for many months.

It was “the LORD” Himself that “made”the Syrians to hear the sounds. What they did with the sounds was something else. They began a rumour “one to another”; they ascribed an interpretation to the sounds and began to act, based on their own rumoured interpretation of the sounds they had heard.

A Prayer

Even now, there is hunger in the city. While we prey on one another (and never still have enough), the besieging Syrians gorge themselves with the abundance that should have been ours. Also, there be proud emissaries from the king of Assyria, that have brought in scrolls that mock our God and challenge our faith. O Lord our God, send them a rumour now. Scatter them. Break up their siege against our land. Put the Arabians to shame. And when King Senacherib is gone back to his land pursued by the rumour, may the sword of his own sons and bodyguards slay him in the house of the god in whom he has put his confidence for protection and the perpetuation of his throne (2 Kings 19). Then may singing break out again in the gates of Samaria in the twilight season of abundance of bread, in that inevitable morning of a new coming grace upon our land.

O Lord our God, may the heavens now send forth a sound that their ears will hear, and may they rumour among themselves their dispersal, defeat and death, and may they flee without a pin of our wealth with which they have decked themselves outside our gates while the land mourned and famished and died (2 Kings 7). O Lord our God, against the hosts of wicked politicians and Islamic cohorts, who now gather their siege without our gates, fortified by Ishmael and his sons, send a rumour. Turn them back. Deliver your anointed David in the caves of Adullam as he looks upon Your face. May Senacherib not survive his boasts against Your name. May Syria not see another sunrise at our gates. O God, send them a blast. Cause them to hear a rumour. Scatter them. Destroy their king. Save your anointed. Amen.
Some months ago, the rumours killed a man who once ruled. He had travelled out to a far land for dire medical attention. To that land the rumours pursued him, that his dead and buried sins some merciful tenures ago had been dug up in UK, and the gaoler was coming back for him, helped by the New Chief; also, that his sister faraway there, who used to keep the oil-lamps here, herself had been awaiting him in the dungeon. There was nothing of the sort. He fled back home, to less able medical care. He died, his dirge ironically more loudly sung by those who had fired the missile. That is not the last. While they shall spread the rumours to kill, they shall gag you to silence, that no voice might question when the army begins to move to deadlier weapons than rumours.

1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar (Ezekiel 9:1-2).

That was what Ezekiel saw: killers from the Lord. What I see is different, killers from the crowned. They have been dispatched: killers through the land, to spare those that would be muffled, but silence those that would choose to scream, until a silence by fear, a blanket of silence enshrouds the land; a stillness like death in which Herod might be unfettered by prying tongues. It is time now to cry before tears become a crime. It is time to stop the swords before the brothers of the many slain are forced themselves to seek other crowned heads also. (Did I call any politician’s name? Did I ask Opposition to wear a helmet?) Then the land shall dance the dance of reprisal troubles in the darkness of which the others already with their “slaughter weapon” in hand shall go through the cities again, the snare snapping.

May God grant discerning ears when the missiles of rumour begin again to fly. Amen.

See his head like Nnamdi kanu's flat head. They will both rot in jail

Anyone in search of love but spews hatred will have to search for a century!!!!

madridguy:
Al-hamdulilahi. At times I think our leaders in Nigeria are just devil incarnation.
Shame on you Fayose, you follow chop inside Dasuki yam, no wonder you always want Sai Baba to kick bucket.

I'm sure the bastards throw-away children from yeesreli will invade this thread now shouting our hero as usual.

Long life EFCC
Long life PMB
Long life Nigeria.

I like your guts but I read one article one day with topic: "Without the Igbo, there will be no Nigeria". I have followed your posts severally and all you refer to always are the Igbos. Are you practically telling us that without them you can never have rest, think properly and move ahead as a person? I am just asking because you may be thinking that it is a style to live a life by dragging some people into a matter they have no interest in. Are you not indirectly telling us that they are actually the most positive important persons in Nigeria? Think!

PassingShot:
I'm very happy this is confirmed.

Shame on those defending the looters who made them pauper by diverting our common wealth into their personal accounts.

Fayose as a sitting governor enjoys immunity from prosecution for all criminal and civil offenses he has committed. Does it make sense that he should also enjoy his stolen wealth?

You mean the immunity should make him spend such money undisturbed? That will be unjust and wicked to those wronged by his unpatriotic action. It will be arrant nonsense!

The funny thing is that this thugnor has on several occasions boasted that PMB cannot do him a thing. Now that his accounts have been legally frozen, let's see what he can do to force it unfrozen.

My General in ASO Rock is fearless. So, feel free to shout on top of your voice. It won't change anything.

If Fayose feels his right has been tampered with, let him sue EFCC to court. Shikena.

Hmmmm! The owner of Nigeria and determiner of human destinies has spoken!!!

irondome:


How old are you? Do you have hand's experience on software development or business process improvement? If you have cognitive experience in the corporate world, you would realise there is no perfect system anyway. It's is not out of place for few glitches to crop here and there. The developed economy didn't become developed/specialised overnight, however, they got to that stage via continuous process/system improvement.

Cherish your little progress and consistently work to improve on that progress.

You cannot reinvent the wheel! They have done their jobs; yours is to put them to use. Are you reinventing computer afresh? Don't give me that trash! Admit the error and move forward!!!!

Wesely01:
I know some idiots would ask where is the source of the news because when it comes to REAL facts surely it would not make front page on Nairaland either will people come out to comment to help everyone understand why PMB is ruling us in a confused manner.

This absolutely how they feel up north and that is the reason why he said the northerners and more than everyone in SW, SS and SE.

Hmmmm! We demand to know the truth of the census figures! Are census exercises in Nigeria mere formality or reality? OBJ demanded for accurate data where Christians and Muslims will truly be captured, but some people refused and threatened to boycott the exercise, and today they are quoting that to the generality of NIGERIANS. It's a shame.

Lalasticalala, all MODS, help reveal the truth. It's very important!!!!

Eye-opener!

It is no longer news that President Buhari who campaigned on the change mantra is facing arguably the toughest time in his over one year at the saddle. The lingering economic crisis combined with persistent power outages have triggered angry responses from Nigerians who have questioned the change mantra. The argument put forward by some Nigerians are if this is change, why are people suffering and dying? Why is it difficult to solve the power problem?

Some Nigerians who could not express themselves straightly have relapsed to communicating their views in joking ways using these hash tags: #Bringbackourcorruption, #Isthisthechange?, etc. As Nigerians keep wondering what they have actually put themselves into by voting in APC government to power, a valid answer has emerged to at least put the suspicion of many Nigerians to rest. Going by the revelation from the former governor of Niger State, Dr. Muazu Babangida Aliyu, the expectations of Nigerians based on the promised CHANGE is a ruse.

Speaking in an Islamic conference recently, the former governor of Niger State claimed that he, together with Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the Kwara State governor Abdulfatar Ahmed, Abubakar Baraje and 3 others were the original proponents of the CHANGE mantra when they met in Mecca in 2014. It was in that meeting that they decided that a Muslim should be the president of Nigeria because Muslims are more than any other religion in the country, as well as in population.

However, upon return from Mecca, they met with President Goodluck Jonathan and prevailed on him to agree not to seek a second term but later yielded to pressure from his kinsmen and cohorts to contest the election which he lost.

Some of us think it'll be wrong to tell Nigerians that the CHANGE Agenda was a religious agenda and not a change Nigerians desired and got through the ballot. By this, Aliyu has truly opened the eyes of so many Nigerians as regards the APC CHANGE MANTRA!

Speaking on the intrigues of his ongoing trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over asset declaration issues and the role of his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki told Nigerian recently that his refusal to support a Muslim/Muslim ticket for the APC in the 2015 presidential election is largely responsible for his ordeal.

What actually went wrong?

phemmyutd:
If I get you right you said APC has the opportunity to turn our hospitals around in Six month? After your PDP messed the system up for 16years??

Please where are you from?

Get my message correctly.... Who are the "YOUR PDP" people? Are you sure you read what I typed or you wanted to score cheap political point? Be wise!!!!

Rossikk:
What's with PDP leaders all getting treatment abroad when they were in power for over 16 years here? It's a sad indictment of their reign by they themselves.

The APC government has every power to change the situation even in six months! But the trends continue. Starting from the president who admitted visiting UK for treatment even in his youth. How many years did the military rule Nigeria?
Almost all the ministers in this government are abroad for treatment of one ailment or the other. Minister of Women Affairs is in US for a surgery. Minister of Education and so on, after a huge budget for Aso Rock Clinic.
Talking about PDP, who are those in APC? Did you forget how PDP people were decamping to APC? FORGET PARTY POLITICS AND FACE REALITY..... THINGS ARE REALLY HARD IN NIGERIA NOW!!!!!!

IRserveMyComent:
Me i believe anyone who ate our money under any guise should be brought to book. But it is very ridiculous for us to hear news where someone has been tried and sentenced in the pages of news paper without appearing in court.... This is only tantamount to defamation of character.

You nailed it!

Is that a threat?

jahsharon:
The same thing that Olisa Metuselah said, now he and his family members are begging Nigerians that they want to return looted money but EFCC said NO, the case must go on. FFK the gigolo too said the same some months back, today Afenifere is begging for him. My dear frog-eyed Diezani, please come back to Nigeria and prove to Nigerians that you are not daughter to several fathers, prove to us that your are not a bastard, come back to Nigeria and prove Zombies like me wrong.

You were very beautiful and strong when were looting our treasury, now that your ineffectual buffoon sugar daddy lost election, you now have Cancer. Babalawos in Osogbo and Dibias in Abia treat Cancer like ordinary malaria, come home and be treated, then pay EFCC a familiarization visit and see if you will see sunlight for a very very long time.

Wrong notion! The people you mentioned were incacerated and denied medical treatments. Metu's case was clear. The family members told the government that if N400,000,000 that Metu is being accused of is what they think will make him jump bail, then they are ready to give it to the govt and allow their son to go for his treatment abroad.
Your likes are those who delight in unnecessary vengeance. Moreover, you cannot eat your cake and have it. I am against unfair trial. Same thing FFK and his people are fighting against. Always try to be fair in your dealings, this is democracy, not military rule, especially when it concerns your perceived enemies.

Reacts to Al Jazeera’s Documentary: I’m dressed as ‘common criminal’ without court convictio!n - Diezani cries out

Immediate-past Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, has reacted to a recent documentary by Al Jazeera, in which it was alleged that her piece of property in Abuja worth $18m and her jewelry worth $2m, have been seized by Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Diezani Alison-Madueke
In a statement on Monday, Diezani decried that the report represents everything ridiculous and despicable about professional media practice and global best practices in the war against corruption, adding that it was the latest attempt to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

She said: “My attention has been drawn to a report by Al Jazeera, which was released on Monday as a testament to the effectiveness of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in its war against corruption.

“In the video report, which has been widely circulated in the social media, there are claims about me owning a property in Abuja allegedly worth $18 million. The report, which represents everything ridiculous and despicable about professional media practice and global best practices in the war against corruption, is the latest attempt to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

“Clips of jewelry allegedly worth over $2 million were also copiously displayed as if to feed the cravings of an audience gratified with the notion that every wealthy Nigerian is corrupt.

“This will not be the first time calculated attempts have been made to demonise and damage my reputation in the public space. Many times, my detractors have gotten away with these irresponsible smear campaigns because they have become accustomed to my characteristic approach of silence in the face of these callous attacks.

“The latest in the string of propaganda attacks launched against my person since I left government as Nigeria’s Petroleum Minister is this Al Jazeera report, which without any court conviction anywhere in the world attempts to dress Diezani Alison Madueke in the garb of a common criminal.

“This, to say the least, is the height of journalistic brigandage and a sheer mockery of Nigeria’s anti-corruption war before the eyes of the world who are watching and asking if the war against corruption is a circus show where suspects are prosecuted and sentenced on the pages of newspapers and video blogs without anything as remotely in the semblance of a trial in the courts of law.

“When did it become a crime to own a property in Nigeria? When did it become a crime for a woman of my status to have in her possession, jewelry? Jewelry, which women all across the world, including the woman selling tomatoes in Bodija market have in abundance in their closets? In which court of law, anywhere in the world was I prosecuted by the EFCC and found guilty of corruption?

“With all sense of modesty, I say this only for posterity and for the records. I have strived within my means and the blessings of God to live a decent and accomplished life. I studied architecture in England and obtained a bachelor’s degree from Howard University, United States of America in 1992. When I returned to Nigeria that same year, I joined Shell Petroleum Development Corporation.

“In 2002, I obtained an MBA at Cambridge University, United Kingdom. In April 2006, I was appointed by Shell as the company’s first female Executive Director in Nigeria. In July 2007, I was appointed by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua as Minister of Transport.

“The next year in December 2008 I became Minister of Mines and Steel Development. In April 2010, I was appointed as Minister for Petroleum Resources and served in that capacity till May 2015. During this period as Petroleum Minister, I had the honour of serving Nigeria and representing her in the Organization of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) where I was elected first female President.

“All through my career, I have strived to maintain a record of hard work, integrity and excellence, giving my best to society, because my parents raised me in the consciousness that a man or woman’s greatness is defined not by the amount of wealth they have acquired but the impact of their service to God and humanity.

“Coming at such a critical time in my life when I am battling cancer, this poorly executed propaganda bares on its face like tribal marks, a clearly malicious attempt to victimize an innocent woman in what appears an exaggerated plot to validate and give credibility to the anti-corruption crusade under Nigeria’s new regime. People who are battling cancer or those who have lost their loved ones to this medical condition understand what I am going through at this time.

“This is what makes me ponder at the cold-heartedness of those who will go any length to defame and destroy in the name of propaganda. What happened to our shared humanity?,” asked Diezani.

Continuing, she said: “I have absolute regard for the law and believe that people who have breached the laws that govern societies should be made to face the wrath of the law. But in a civilized society, a responsible government owes its citizens absolute commitment to the principles of rule of law, equity, fairness and justice. I have been wrongfully and maliciously maligned and those behind this reckless action know it.

“I leave them to posterity, their conscience and above all the Almighty God who is the final judge of all.”

I won't blame them, I blame the Igbos that continue living there, the death of this sister did not move me because a fly that doesn't have an adviser end us up with the corpse in the grave. If you advise the ear but it refuses to listen, when the head is cut off, it will follow the head.

Adviser! Speaking as if you have something different kept for them there in the S/E!! Many of them are Federal workers transfered to these areas, while others work in the banks, some are soldiers, immigration, police, road safety, civil defence, as well as traders. Can you accommodate this number and feed them and make them comfortable when they heed your advice?
Nigeria has not divided in essence, even though the disparity is obvious. You can imagine how it will look like if only the Housas live in housaland, Igbos in igboland and Yorubas in yorubaland. We have not reached there yet, what we can do now is to tolerate one another, appreciate our differences and shun actions capable of creating disunity.

I don't waste my time responding to fools. Bros enjoy your inheritance alone.

Fools? Judgment has been passed; a wide difference spotted; and the truth on the matter laid bay.... The cap is YOURS!!!!

Obamacare site had glitches first few days of the launch; did that make the program a failure? As big as Microsoft is, they still do release version of the operating system; does that imply Microsoft do not know what they are doing?


I rated it relevant, because, unlike the free 5000 naira promised, this program actually entail value creation. Literally, participants would be paid for "work done".

Funny! You will only copy and repeat other people's mistakes when you have the opportunity of breaking records. Do you know how many Nigerians that the people you mentioned pay homage to almost every day due to their innovative works in their lives and business? You always want to carry last, celebrating mediocrity. Sorry!!!
Anyway, we are yet to see the impact and its sincerity. Let's hope for the best, not distracting praises.

Updated list of the 47 high-rank officers retired by Nigerian army

Clement Ejiofor

Fresh details emerge on the mass sack from the Nigerian army which was announced in the early hours of Saturday, June 11. SK Usman, the army spokesperson, explained the retirement of the officers was based on “service exigencies”.

It may signify that cases of partisanship (unfair practices during the 2015 election and in the war against Boko Haram) and corruption (Dasuki gate scandal) are behind the decision.

The exact number of officers is still unclear. According to TheCable, the latest move affected 58 officers. At the same time, Vanguard put the number at about 200.

If only sure-P was half as relevant as this.

You have rated its relevance already when up till this moment the website is not working! Sentiments all the way!

Dele Momodu likes to talk from all sides of his mouth. You spend time composing an epistle as long as river Nile and then fill it with half truths and over generalizations.

For your information sir, the WHOLE country never accepted Jonathan's defeat in good fate. If they did can you explain the sudden agitations from the SE region that has plagued the government since May 29 2015?

Am quite sure you are aware that recent militant activities are an offshoot of those same agitations but you won't say so.

The government has made meaningful progress in keeping to it's mandate. It has beefed up security (applicants no longer pay to apply for government vacancies) and also commenced implementation of it's social intervention programs.

What I expect you to do is write an even longer epistle asking all those who have stolen and stashed our foreign exchange in their bedrooms and faraway lands and banks to return the money. Tell those who are painful losers to accept defeat magnanimously and pray for Nigeria's progress and stop being a peddler of lies and bad omen.

You thought you have made a point? Sorry, you are alone on that stand. The epistle as you said is a blueprint on the way forward. Do your research very well Dele Momodu is a close associate of Buhari. He knows him. He has cleared his conscience and here you are defending mediocrity!
Does the future of Nigeria bother you at all? I wonder what the likes of you derive from being what you are NOT created to be. I mean, who has bewitched you?
Friend, it's time to go FORWARD!
