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.” www.thebreakingtimes.com/apc-battle-royale-acn-cpc-factions-in-do-or-die-for-national-chairman/ lalasticlala |
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. dailypost.ng/2016/03/21/uk-us-governments-knew-location-of-chibok-girls-but-refused-to-rescue-them-ex-british-high-commissioner/ lalasticlala

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. lalasticlala saharareporters.com/2016/03/17/lagos-banker-reveals-governor-emmanuel-udom-akwa-ibom-threatened-her-life-over-financial |

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? edition.cnn.com/2016/03/16/africa/wakaa-the-musical-bolanle-austen-peters/index.html lalasticlala |

Durentt:it's not rubbish mate, a variety of factors determine sexual orientation, like upbringing, environment (prisons, boarding schools)etc, there is nothing like a "gay gene" incorporated into some peoples DNA,. I have seen straight guys become gay and vice versa, so don't tell me it's part of ur DNA or u were born gay, cos if it was, a gay guy can't become straight again. |
lol, say what u want to make your self feel better but every human is wired to have feelings for the opposite sex, u really believe some people are born homosexuals? I'm not condemning anyone but, I find it funny when people say that. |

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.” lalasticlala www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2016/03/15/lagos-police-arrest-radio-technician-for-raping-7-year-old/ |
