Politics › APC Battle Royale | ACN, CPC Factions In Do-or-die For National Chairman by zinachidi(op): 12:12pm On Mar 22, 2016
Defunct ACN drafts Akande into BoT race

Tony Momoh leads ex-CPC bloc to regain party





The struggle for the soul of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a new twist.
State governors elected under its platform have joined some national leaders of the party to plot the fall of its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
At the moment, the fight for Odigie-Oyegun’s seat has been centred on the three major parties that merged to form the APC: the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP).
There are fears that unless the intra-party crisis is well-managed by the APC leadership, it could lead to its collapse before the next general election in 2019.
Both former Lagos State governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, control factions of the party as they prepare for the epic contest for the chairmanship of the APC’s Board of Trustees (BoT).
Party sources disclosed that Tinubu may withdraw from the race for the interim chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi AKande, who has been drafted into it by the ACN bloc in the party.



Similarly, the CPC bloc, which does not want to lose out in the supremacy contest, has mobilised its members under the leadership of former Information Minister, Prince Tony Momoh, to gain control of the APC.
It is against these contending forces that the party leadership postponed the planned inauguration of the Board of Trustees (BoT) meeting earlier billed for March 24. Along this line, the caucus meeting of the party holds today instead of yesterday earlier fixed by the APC hierarchy.
It was also gathered that while the CPC bloc in the merger had intensified efforts to use the opportunity of the party’s internal crisis to reposition itself with an eye on the top hierarchy of the NWC, the defunct ACN has drafted Akande into the BoT chairmanship race to remain relevant.
The decision to draft Akande into the race was aimed at compensating the APC national leader, Bola Tinubu, whose ambition is said to have generated a lot of opposition both from APC governors and the top hierarchy of the party.
The new arrangement, if it succeeds, will now rub off the ANPP bloc in the merger as the planned exit of Odigie-Oyegun may mean that the ANPP bloc may have lost out in the distribution of offices in the merger arrangement.




Other members of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) have however intensified efforts to retain their positions ahead of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the party.
Inside APC sources informed us that while the former governors’ forum has thrown its weight behind Odigie-Oyegun, who is one of their own, a larger number of the serving APC governors have lined up either with Tinubu or Atiku’s camp to ensure that the APC national chairman and his NWC members are removed.
Strong speculations have it that a vote of no confidence might be passed on Odigie-Oyegun at the meehis replacement.
The sources added that the CPC, which is President Muhammadu Buhari’s bloc in the merger that produced the APC, is also repositioning to occupy juicy positions in the envisaged new party hierarchy, having lost to the defunct ACN and the ANPP in the distribution of positions, prior to the 2015 general elections.
An inside source in the forum of former governors revealed that Odigie-Oyegun has however enlisted the support of the caucus of the 1992 governors, led by former governor of Yobe State, Senator Abba Bukar Ibrahim, which met over the weekend with the aim of mobilising other governors to back the embattled APC boss against his predators.


The source stated that they are reaching out to other former governors including the National Leader of APC, Tinubu, to ensure that the vote of no confidence would not be raised against Odigie-Oyegun.
“Also, the team would try to see President Buhari on the issue if responses from other party chieftains are not positive,” the source said.
The forum of former governors is being chaired by former governor of Anambra State, Chief Jim Nwobodo, a former member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP%emocratic Party (PDP) and now a member of the APC.
“We have many of our members in the party and outside the party. We have chosen to back Odigie-Oyegun after our meeting because we have seen that some people are only looking for how to control the party at all levels,” he said.



Contrary to the former governor’s position, another dependable source close to the forum of serving APC governors told our correspondent that the governors were tired of Odigie-Oyegun.
The source said: “But you should know that progressives’ governors are the ones plotting Chief Odigie-Oyegun’s fall. He has disappointed them so many times, and that is why many of them don’t visit the National Secretariat of the APC. Some of them have even stopped funding the party and insisting that Odigie-Oyegun must go.”

Politics › UK, US Govt's Knew Chibok Girls Location But Didn't Rescue Them by zinachidi(op): 12:15pm On Mar 21, 2016
A former British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr Andrew Pocock has disclosed that both the British and United States governments knew where some of the Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram members were but could not act as expected.
Pocock while speaking with The Sunday Times explained that both governments knew the whereabout of the abducted girls but were powerless to launch a rescue mission, stressing that it was too risky.
He said, “A couple of months after the kidnapping, fly-bys and an American eye in the sky spotted a group of up to 80 girls in a particular spot in the Sambisa forest, around a very large tree, called locally the Tree of Life, along with evidence of vehicular movement and a large encampment.



“A land-based attack would have been seen coming miles away and the girls killed, an air-based rescue, such as flying in helicopters or Hercules, would have required large numbers and meant a significant risk to the rescuers and even more so to the girls.
“You might have rescued a few but many would have been killed. My personal fear was always about the girls not in that encampment — 80 were there, but 250 were taken, so the bulk were not there. What would have happened to them? You were damned if you do and damned if you don’t.”
DAILY POST recalls that members of Boko Haram sect had in 2014 abducted over 200 girls from a boarding school in Chibok, in Borno State and they have since remained missing.

Crime › Ese Oruru's Love Letter To Yunusa Before Abduction Revealed by zinachidi(op): 11:57am On Mar 19, 2016
There are indications that Ese Oruru, the abducted Bayelsa-born teenage girl may have been in a relationship with her alleged abductor before she was whisked to Kano state.

This follows some fresh revelations suggesting that a sort of intimacy could have existed between the two.
The teenager, a native of Delta State and resident in Bayelsa state, was allegedly abducted on August 12, 2015 and taken from Yenagoa to Kano where she was converted to Islam and married by her abductor, Yunusa Dahiru, aka Yellow.



Her abductor, Yunusa, in an interview shortly after his arraignment had claimed responsibility for the five-month old pregnancy Ese is currently carrying, however, he alleged that the girl’s mother, Mrs. Rose Oruru was aware of their relationship before the alleged abduction incident.

Although Mrs. Oruru had denied knowledge on the involvement of Ese and Yunusa in any love relationship, Vanguard has reported that the duo may have had an intimate relationship.

In an undated letter, the 14-year-old teenager was alleged to have said that her abductor, Yunusa asked for three things which included following him to Kano; drop her Christian religion for Islam and love only him, in the bid to cement their love affair.


The letter was titled: ‘Pls read & reply me Inusa.’




Dear, Inusa how are you? I hope you are fine and all is well with you?
“Please don’t be annoyed by these words but I think it is best for the both of us. Please please please don’t be annoyed I beg of you Inusa, maybe everyone just have to say the truth.
I want to start by saying thank you for everything if accepted, thank you yanzu, I would say I now know what is going on which you never wanted to tell me but I will say that is not fair.”



Ese, in the letter professed love to Yunusa, disclosing she had refused friendship requests from four other Hausa boys.

Furthermore, the letter reads:




“When I started selling here, I met Abubakar who once told me that he had fellings for me but I can never send because I did not have fellings for him, so I turned him down.
“Then again I met Genedu and I also turned him down.
“Now, it is Dantata which everybody knows that he loves me dearly but I find a lot of faults in him and don’t love him back. He has done his best to stay down and beg about one year now, if I am right, I will never lie to you Inusa.
“Dantata has been begging me to love him back but as soon as I wanted to fall for him you came back into my life. I still know that Dantata is still waiting for me only if I will accept him.
“Inusa I now know that you also love me and I have decided to love you back. I love you Inusa but sometimes I do think Dantata is still seeking.


“My name as known by myself is RITA and my main problem is that if I love you (Inusa) and you also love me what will become of us.
“You once told me you like me more than anyone else, but now I have seen how far you have gone in this case because it is very serious to me.
ou asked me to help you in just three ways in which you said:
“Follow me to my village – Kano State
“Leave your religion for mine – Christian & Muslim
“It is only you I love and no other person.
“I have already accepted the first quest then while decide to tell me that you cannot take me along with you the same day it is very unfair. Inusa why, just tell me why you decide to be unfair.




“Well Inusa there were many other Hausa boys who asked for friendship but did not get it. I had so many people who I have lived with do you know what it means to live the people you had lived with for 13 good years of life.
“Think on me Inusa please
“I beg of you Inusa please
“Think of me
“My heart beats immediately or anytime I see you if you know how much I love you you will not think about hurting my feelings.
“I still stand by you Inusa, yeallo yellow my best colour but one question who made you think.
“I write this because I am sick and tired of this baldadash I hear everyday.
“You should know this Genedu, Abubakar, Saidu are humans for crying out loud. Inusa to conclude this, taught you can solve this problem by just one thing.



“Your address and your phone number, maybe if we have to go one by one we shall do just that.
“No matter what happens I still love you Inusa
“No matter what the case may be I still love you Inusa
“From yours dearly Rita a.k.a Ese.”




The authenticity of the letter cannot exactly be verified.

Politics › Lagos Banker Reveals Gov Emmanuel Udom Threatened Her Life Over Financial Fraud by zinachidi(op): 8:00am On Mar 18, 2016
Lagos-based banker who managed an account owned by Governor Udom Emmanuel of Akwa Ibom State has told Nigerian police authorities that the governor threatened her life.




In a letter to the police, Oyetola Oyeleke stated that, in 2009, while working for Guaranty Trust Bank Plc., she had received a call from Mr. Emmanuel, who wished to open a corporate account in the name of Chashar Farms Limited and wanted her to manage it. Ms. Oyeleke stated that, shortly after opening the account, she discovered that Mr. Emmanuel’s Chashar Farms address did not exist.
Even so, she disclosed that Mr. Emmanuel made several deposits in the account approximately totaling N507m. According to her, one particular deposit of N300m could not be completed as the account name, and the number did not match.
In the face of that discrepancy, Ms. Oyeleke revealed that her boss requested to speak with Mr. Emmanuel, adding that the future governor declined. Instead, he instructed Ms. Oyeleke to keep his account and transactions within it secret going forward. He also reportedly confirmed that the mismatched transaction of N300m belonged to him.


The banker asserted that Governor Emmanuel held a private meeting with her, instructing her to move his funds to an account with Ascorp Petroleum Limited. He further asked her to then loan the money from that account to companies at a 15 percent interest rate.
According to her, she subsequently loaned N375m through Ascorp Petroleum Limited to a company called Euroflow Designs Limited, an oil service company seeking to purchase a vessel.
She stated that, after a contract had fallen through, Euroflow was unable to pay back the loan on the timetable agreed by the two parties. However, she claimed that the company never denied receipt of the loan, adding that the debtor firm sought to meet with Mr. Emmanuel to assure him of their intention to repay the loan.
The banker disclosed that Mr. Emmanuel began to track her movement and soon ordered her to transfer his money to Zenith Bank. When she reminded him of their earlier arrangement, Mr. Emmanuel became enraged and threatened to kill her family and her, Ms. Oyeleke claimed.




In a twist in the case, Guaranty Trust Bank Plc. informed the police that Mrs. Oyeleke engaged in the mismanagement of Chashar Farms’ account, and petitioned for her arrest. Bank and legal documents stated that she fraudulently accessed Chashar Farms’ account and diverted the funds for personal gains. The documents also portrayed Ms. Oyeleke as working in concert with Mr. Emmanuel.
On May 25, 2015, Ms. Oyeleke was arrested along with Jimi Bademosi and Godwin Adamolekun, the director and chairman, respectively, of Euroflow. The director and chairman were released on bail the next day.
Documents obtained by SaharaReporters indicate that police investigation into the shady financial transactions pertaining to Governor Emmanuel’s account was still ongoing.
SaharaReporters attempted to contact Ms. Oyeleke, but our correspondent was unable to reach her before going to press.

Music/Radio › Stage Sensation "Wakaa!" Becomes First Nigerian Musical To Hit London by zinachidi(op): 8:31am On Mar 17, 2016
After performing to 10,000 people in Lagos, "Wakaa! The Musical" is traveling to the UK
Opening on July 22, 2016 at the Shaw Theatre, producer Bolanle Austen-Peters hopes to attract a new group of fans




It's big, it's bold and it's politically charged. Brace yourselves: " Wakaa! The Musical " is coming.
The hit Nigerian show by Bolanle Austen-Peters is due to transfer to London's West End in July, making it the first Nigerian musical to make it to the British capital.
It's no small feat to land a slot in London's world-class theater district, but the sell-out musical by
Terra Kulture has pedigree, playing to 10,000 people over twelve shows in Lagos earlier this year. The show was so popular during its first stint, people were offering to pay to stand in the aisles, according to Austen-Peters.
That wasn't permitted of course, nor will it be at the Shaw Theater on July 22, when it opens its doors once more. So what can the theater-goers of London expect?

Family › 69-year-old Herbalist Marries 18-year-old Girl As 57th Wife by zinachidi(op): 7:45am On Mar 16, 2016
Enugu—A 69 year old herbalist, Chief Simon Odo, who married an 18 year old girl, Chidinma, as his 57th wife last November has said that he would not marry again, having had a fair of women in his life. Chidinma was married from Okutu, in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State. Odo, also known variously as Onuwa, King Solomon of Africa or King of Satan was however married to 68 women but some of them had earlier died. Augustina Odo (nee Asogwa) and Virginia, nee Mogbo from Oraifite were among the dead ones.

However, Odo spoke in an interview with the South East Voice at his palatial home at Aji, Enugu Ezike in Igboeze North Local Government Area of Enugu State.

https://d19lga30codh7.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Chidinma-166x300.jpgThe new bride, Chidinma


Emeka, first son, Franca, one of the wives and Onuwa Onuwa who was armed with an Onward note book where names of his wives and over 200 children were listed according to their dates of birth said that his first son, Emeka was born on December 15, 1969. “I was born in 1947 on the day they had an eclipse of the sun and the moon. There was darkness in the afternoon on the day I was born. I was the only son of my parents.

“I was baptised as a Christian in the Catholic Church and I even became a mass servant under Rev Father Desmond McGlade. I however became a herbalist because of circumstances beyond my control. As I said, I was the only son of my parents but because some of his relations wanted to take over his landed property, they poisoned me. I contracted tuberculosis and had to be treated for years. At a point, I was even unable to walk for about five years because I became lame.

“I ran to Ondo State in the South West, where I trained to become a herbalist at the age of 15, before returning to the village. I married 15 wives when my father was alive and the situation prolonged his life. He died in 1992 at the ripe old age of over 90 years. My first son has seven children and four grandchildren. “Any of my children who chooses to become a Christian is free to do so, provided he/she must become a Catholic. I don’t like the Pentecostal churches.”

The new bride, Chidinma On feeding of his large family, Onuwa said, “People think that I feed many of them but this is not true. Most of my children are grown up. The boys among them usually marry and go to their own houses just like the girls who marry and follow their husbands to their places.”

However, my wives cook food for the whole family in turns. For example, if it is the turn of Ada or Omada to cook, she would invite five of her colleagues to assist her in cooking. One woman cooks for everybody in the house at a time but my other wives would always assist such a person.”

Asked if any of his sons has taken after him as a herbalist, he said, “I will not encourage them to do so. I don’t want my sons to take after me because some of them will do bad things with my medicine. As a herbalist, I have never killed anybody or thought of evil against anybody but I do not trust that my children would be upright like me. That is why I will not encourage them to inherit my medicine but I may bequeath them to some of my younger children, not the old, greedy ones.”

Meanwhile, it was learnt that although Onuwa abhorred seeing his children attend churches other than the Catholic church, seven of them were ordained pastors at the Lord’s Chosen Church. Hitherto, some of them attended Catholic and Anglican churches while many of them took after their father in his business. However, the ordination of the pastors brought about a radical Christian awakening in the extra-large family of Chief Odo.

In the past four years, there had been a simmering misunderstanding between the pastors and their father regarding his herbal practice. The pastors were said to be mounting heavy pressure on him to repent and turn to Jesus, a demand the herbalist spurned. Odo, said to have lost one of his wives last February, had arranged for the burial programme, which his pastor’s sons rejected and rather organized a prayer programme for her burial, triggering confusion in the family.

Crime › Lagos Police Arrest Radio Technician For Raping 7-year-old by zinachidi(op): 6:10pm On Mar 15, 2016
The Lagos State Police Command on Tuesday arrested and paraded a 44-year-old radio technician, Obinna Anike, for repeatedly raping a seven-year-old girl (name withheld) entrusted in his care.
The Enugu State indigene, who admitted to the crime while speaking to newsmen at the command headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos, said he did not do it for any ritual purpose as was alleged.



He said, “I have already condemned myself before anybody condemns me. I am a Christian, so I would not wait till I am condemned by law enforcement officers. I beg everyone who is aware of this case to forgive me.
“I did not know the forces that pushed me into this devilish act. I don’t want my church to know about this please. I cannot question God, I don’t know why this is happening to me.I did not take alcohol or any drugs before I engaged in the act.
“The parents of the children brings them to my house since they leave for work early in the morning because I am a radio technician near their house.





“The children attend the same school with my children. One day, I asked the girl to come close to me and when she did, I shifted her pants and put me penis but I did not penetrate. I poured my sperm outside.”
However, the victim who is a minor contradicted his claims, adding that the suspect has done it severally.




She said, “He likes calling me fine girl. He did it severally. Last year before the christmas celebration, uncle Obinna called me into his room and warned me not to tell my parents whatever he was doing with me.
“He said he would kill me and my parents if I ever said it. He would constantly question me if I wanted my parents to die, but I would say no. He removed my pant and put his thing inside.
” He poured his spit into my thing and put his thing inside me. It was very painful for me. He ‘wee wee’ inside and warned me not to tell my parents. The man used to tell me to turn my back and he would put it through the back.”
