Osagie Otabor, Benin

The Certificates of Occupancy of some choice properties belonging to Governor Godwin Obaseki, former Deputy Governor, Dr. Pius Odubu, the member representing Owan Federal Constituency, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere have been revoked.

The properties are located in the Government Reservation Area.

Others whose propertìes the C of O were also revoked are Chief Oseni Elamah, Mr. Oghogho Akpata, Susan Itemuagbor, Aigboje Ehidero, AIG Imuokhuede and Noggie Megisson.

Affected corporate bodies in the revocation are CA Aliyu and Company Limited, Bimseg Venture Limited and Sharon Properties.

A document sighted by our reporter showed that the properties were revoked because they are required for the services of the Government of Edo State.

Prof. Ihonvbere said he has completed the building he is erecting on his plot.

A top government official, who confirmed the revocation, said the Governor was also affected.

The source said more lands within the GRA would be revoked because all government lands and accommodation have been allocated to individuals.

According to the source: “You can see Governor Obaseki has built quarters for judges but it is not enough and there is the need for more land to build more quarters for the judges. shocked

“Individuals and politicians just allocated government lands to themselves so the Governor decided to revoke his own and others. More land will be revoked.”

Odubu said he only read about the revocation on the social media as there was no newspaper publications yet.

Odubu said would wait for the Governor to carry out the revocation before commenting.

The Rain
Oran "Juice" Jones
I saw you (and him, and him) walking in the rain
You were holding hands and I'll never be the same
Tossing and turning another sleepless night
The rain crashes against my window pane
Jumped into my car--didn't drive too far
That moment I knew I would never be the same
Cause I saw you (and him, and him) walking in the rain
You were holding hands and I'll never be the same
Now here you are begging to me
To give our love another try
Girl I love you and I always will
But darling right now I've got to say goodbye
Cause I saw you (and him, and him) walking in the rain
You were holding hands and I'll never be the same
I saw you (and him) walking in the rain
You were holding hands and I'll never be the same
Hey, hey, baby, how you doin', come on in here
Got some hot chocolate on the stove waitin' for ya
Listen, first things first, let me hang up that coat
Yeah, 'n' how's your day today, did ya miss me?
Oh, you did, yeah, I missed you, too
I missed you so much I followed you today
That's right
Now close your mouth
Cause you cold busted
That's right, now sit down here
Sit down here
So upset with you I don't know what to do
'n' my first impulse was to run up on you
And do a Rambo
Whip out the jammy and flat-blast both of you
But I ain't wanna mess up this thirty-seve hundred dollar lynx coat
So instead, I chilled
That's right, chilled, then I went to the bank
Took out every dime
And then I went and canceled all those credit cards
Yeah
All your charge accounts
Yeah
I stuck you up for every piece of jewelry I ever bought you
Yeah
That's right, everything
Everything
Did fool out with me
Naw, don't go, you ever go, don't go looking in that closet
Cause you ain't got nothing in there
Everything you came here with--
Is packe dup and waiting for you in the guest room
That's right, what was you thinking about, huh?
What were you tryin' to prove, huh?
You's with the Juice
'n' I gave you silk suits, Gucci handbags, blue diamonds
I gave you things you couldn't even pronounce
Now I can't give you nothin' but advice
Cause you're still young
That's right, you're still young
I hope you learn a valuable lesson from all this
You know?
Gonna find someone like me one of these days
Until then, know what you gotta do?
You gotta get on outta here with that
Alley-cat-coat wearin'
Hush-puppy-shoe-wearing'
Crumb cake I saw you with
Cause you dismissed
That's right, silly rabbit
Tricks are made for kids, don't you know that?
You without me: like cornflake without the milk
It's my world--you just a squirrel, tryin' to get a nut
Now get on outta here
Ah!
Don't touch that coat!

Shocker: Nigerians run Libyan slave camps: Cameroonian returnee ON DECEMBER 1, 201711:20 PMIN NEWS

ON DECEMBER 1, 201711:20 PM IN NEWS Kindly Share This Story:FacebookTwitterEmailWhatsAppPinterestShare

The new slave trade-human trafficking in Libya is being carried out by many nationalities, including Nigerians and Ghanaians, according to a Cameroonian returnee, who was abducted in the country. Foka Fotsi, who was trafficked twice, told Reuters that those in charge of one of the places where he was held included Ghanaians and Nigerians. Fotsi story corroborated another testimony by a Nigerian in the southern state of Edo, who identified one Charles, a Nigerian as the trafficking kingpin.

https://i0.wp.com/www.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/migrant-wounded.jpg?w=412&ssl=1

Foka Fotsi- battered in a camp run by Nigerians and Ghanaians Unable to find work to support his family, Fotsi decided to leave Cameroon last year, but fell into the hands of a Libyan kidnap ring before reaching Europe.

“There was torture like I’ve never seen. They hit you with wooden bats, with iron bars,” he said, removing the hood of his sweatshirt and showing the still raw red wounds on his skull.

“They hang you from the ceiling by (your) arms and legs and then throw you down to the floor. They swing you and throw you against the wall, over and over again, ten times.

“They are not human beings. They are the devil personified.”

Christelle Timdi, another Cameroonian recounted her horrendous experience in the north African country.

When uniformed men boarded the overloaded rubber dingy carrying her and her boyfriend to a new life in Europe, she thought the Italian coastguard had come to rescue them.

But the men took out guns and began to shoot. “Many people fell in the sea,” the 32-year-old Cameroonian said as she described seeing her boyfriend, Douglas, falling in the water and disappearing into the darkness.

The gunmen took Timdi and her fellow passengers back to Libya where they were locked up, raped, beaten and forced to make calls to their families back home for ransom payments to secure their freedom.

Timdi, who flew back to Cameroon last week, told her story as international outcry escalated over a video which appeared to show African migrants being traded as slaves in Libya.

Libya’s U.N.-backed government has said it is investigating and has promised to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Timdi said she had not seen the footage broadcast by CNN, but had witnessed the trade in humans while in Libya.

“I saw it with my own eyes,” she said, describing how she had seen a Senegalese man buying an African migrant.

Libya is the main jumping off point for migrants trying to reach Europe by boat. Timdi said many traffickers posed as marine guards, police officers and taxi drivers to ensnare victims.

There were around 130 other migrants on her boat when the gunmen opened fire in the middle of the night, Timdi said.

After being taken back to Libya they were locked in an abandoned factory building where men would grab and rape the girls and women – and sometimes even the men.
“We tried to hide the younger girls among us,” Timdi said, describing the terrifying moments when the guards would scour the room with torches, searching for their next victims. “I was heavily pregnant – that’s why I wasn’t raped. And it’s all done in front of others – they say it’s so that you know what will happen to you if you don’t pay up.” Timdi said the facilities used by traffickers appeared to be well organised and guarded, adding that most people inside wore fake police or military uniforms.

“The place was surrounded by army-style vehicles with guns ready to fire, so we didn’t dare try and escape.” Timdi’s family paid 1 million CFA francs ($1,800), frantically collected from relatives and friends, to free her.

But she said ransoms were no guarantee of safety. The traffickers work with a network of taxi drivers who are supposed to transfer released migrants to migrant camps – but who often re-traffick them, Timdi said.

“If they send you a good taxi, you’ll arrive at your destination, but if it’s a bad taxi the driver will sell you on to someone else,” she said. “There are people who have been resold twice, three times. And when you call your family to tell them that you’ve been resold once again, no one will believe you, they won’t send more money to free you.” Timdi was released by her captors in October and gave birth to a baby girl, Brittanie, in a Libyan hospital just days later. Timdi and Fotsi were among 250 Cameroonians who were flown home this week by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) as part of a voluntary return scheme for migrants stranded in Libya. The programme, funded by the European Union, provided returnees with clothing and medical checks. The most vulnerable, including pregnant women, also received around 400 euros ($475). IOM Cameroon head Boubacar Saybou said it was launching a programme to help migrants set up businesses, and will also provide start-up funding. “We need to create opportunities for them here. That’s what’s important,” he said. Fotsi said he hoped to follow up on the scheme. But for now his most pressing problem was finding a place to sleep.

“I pray that God gives me work that I can do here,” he said. “If we don’t get work you’ll find many of us walking the streets again.” *Adapted from a Thomson Reuters Foundation report written by Inna Lazareva

He further stated that the defendants dishonestly converted the sum of N10 million being proceed of the property of late Mrs. Odemuyiwa Janet Adeola to their own use.

According to the charge sheet, “Harry Uyanwanne, Oluwakemi Odemuyiwa (aka Kristein Uyanwanna) and Temple International Church on or about the March 18 2016, converted to your own use the sum of N10, 000,000 property of late Mrs. Odemuyiwa Janet Adeola.”

It is mostly those who have made it abroad that are proud of Nigeria, being Nigerian abroad is a thing to brag about and take glory in, being Nigerian in Nigeria though, is another talk

How can you take pride in a country that seeks to destroy you at every turn you make?

Anthony Joshua is not experiencing the 'shithole' Nigeria, people that come from abroad, especially the celebrities, don't get to experience the shithole Nigeria. No police officer will stop him to go through his phone or accuse him of a crime, he isn't likely to be harassed by area boys, as we haveseen with the NIN registration, he will not stand in any queue before he is attended to, and he certainly will not have to fulfill any ridiculous requirements like paying for fuel or photocopy, to get things that he should.

So, to all the delusional people that are saying "Successful people are proud...." Blah blah blah, know that AJ never see Nigeria, what he is seeing is Naija, the one the likes of Iwobi, Cardi B and Jidenna see when they come here, Naija is reserved forvisitors, not residents. Shithole Nigeria, is for residents and there is no pride in that

EXCLUSIVE: Anthony Joshua on how relocating to Nigeria for six months made him

https://trueafrica.co/article/anthony-joshua-on-relocating-to-nigeria-for-six-months/

Anthony Joshua was a shy, skinny 11-year-old when he flew to Lagos on what he thought was a family holiday.

Until then, the keen footballer had grown up in Watford, Hertfordshire, with his Nigerian parents but was looking forward to a short trip to Africa.

His rapid ascent through the heavyweight ranks has rendered him arguably the biggest commercial commodity in the sport today.

That was until he was woken abruptly on the first Monday morning of the holiday by his mum Yeta, who broke the news to him that he was off to school – and that they would be staying a while.

‘I thought I was just going there on holiday,’ he recalls. ‘But they tried to put me in a school!

Much has changed for Joshua, born Anthony Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua, since that sojourn to west Africa.

His rapid ascent through the heavyweight ranks, to the current position of IBF champion of the world, has rendered him arguably the biggest commercial commodity in the sport today.

It has been a long road back from the dark days of his adolescence, when a series of brushes with the law left him on tag for 14 months, unable to leave his home between eight in the evening and six in the morning.

Those tough and unexpected days back in Nigeria were the making of him.

Then, in 2011, he was kicked off the Great Britain amateur squad after being given a 12-month community order for possession of cannabis. He eventually returned, of course, to claim gold at the London Olympics a year later.

But for Joshua, those tough and unexpected days back in Nigeria were the making of him.

‘At the time you think “why?”, but as you get older you think it was good that you experienced it, you know?,’ he adds. ‘It was good for me.

‘I think my mum was trying to do some business there, maybe she had it in her mind. You don’t just randomly decide to move there.
