The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has urged the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal (PEPT) to dismiss the petition filed by Atiku Abubakar and the People's Democratic Party (PDP).




The electoral body made the submission in its final address at the PEPT on Wednesday August 21. INEC’s lawyer, Yunus Usman (SAN) insisted that Atiku's petition was a mere waste of time as he and his party could not substantiate claims of the electoral commission having a server and transmitting results electronically.

Usman said: “This is a worthless petition. INEC did not abandon its pleadings. It only extracted salient evidence from their (petitioners) witnesses.

“It would have been a waste of the court’s time to call witnesses when the petitioners failed to prove anything and admitted the issues we advanced in our pleadings

“We urge the court to dismiss this petition, which was meant to test the water with two legs, and they are now falling.”

Juliet Ibrahim turned on her no-chill side as she dragged a TV Presenter, Miss Akuko Perming for asking her to go back to her ex-husband, Kwadwo Safo.



Sharing a collage of Akuko's photo and a featherless chicken, the Ghanaian actress slammed the TV presenter for asking her to go back to her ex-husband and stop waiting for Mr Right even when he has moved on with the lady he impregnated while they were married.



Maintaining that she is not a desperate woman that will lower her standards for anyone on earth, Juliet Ibrahim also took a swipe at TV Africa for tolerating such utterances from 'presenters who didn't research' before coming up on their show.



She wrote;

Miss Akuko Perming -
Not until I was sent this senseless video of yours posted on Tv Africa’s page I never knew of your existence.

It’s obvious everyone wants to trend using my name! Y’all Do anything for clout! Even ugly chickens feel they have a say in someone’s personal life!
Dead TV station with dead ass TV presenters looking for clout off Juliet Ibrahim as usual. If you think you know better about marriages why the F aren’t you married yet zombie?
You say I should go back to my ex-husband and stop waiting for Mr Right, even after all I went through with him and how he’s moved on with the lady he impregnated while we were married?
Stupid clown, I am not a desperate woman who’ll lower her standards for anyone on this earth because I deserve better and I will never ever SETTLE!
Why don’t you go to him and be a mistress to his new wife?
Since it’s obvious you have no self value and self worth DumbAss!! Until you have walked in someone’s shoes don’t open your stupid toilet hole to pour out stink shit! Clown, with your nasty brown teeth and cheap hair and eyelashes, don’t you dare come at me ever again in your miserable life. You chose the wrong day, wrong time and wrong person to talk about on your dead ass stupid senseless show! And it’s a shame on TV africa for tolerating such utterances when their so-called presenters can’t even do research before blabbing bullshit about people they talk about!
If you want to discuss me and my former marriage on your station why not spend “ 50 cedis “ ONLY to buy MY BOOK; read and understand what happened before I left my marriage and my ex boyfriend? How hard is it to practice Professional journalism in Ghana?
If anyone cares to speak or say anything about me henceforth go and buy @atoasttolifebook after you done reading you have the freedom to talk or invite me for interviews.

Harry Storey, told friends on Whatsapp that he was feeling suicidal but they thought he was joking. Later that night on March 1 his father Andrew found his body at their home in Chilton, Oxfordshire.

Mr Storey said: "I could not comprehend what I was seeing."

He carried out CPR and when his wife walked in he shouted for her to call emergency services. Harry was taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital where he died three days later.

An inquest heard yesterday that it was unlikely that Harry had intended to kill himself.

The deceased's father said: "We watched a programme where the female star had hanged herself but her friends rescued her. It made us wonder whether he had a sensationalised view of what might happen."

Paying tribute to his son, Mr Storey said: "Harry was a charismatic, caring boy and sport was a huge part of his life, playing rugby, cricket and tennis. He would talk to anyone with ease and he had a natural ability to strike up a conversation, which I admired him for.

"He seemed to us to be just a normal teenager but he did have high expectations of himself. It came as a complete shock to me."

Detective Sergeant Lou Heffernan-Glover said: "I think he lost consciousness unexpectedly. It could not have been predicted or prevented by his family."

Coroner Darren Salter recorded a verdict of misadventure.

He said: "Harry did the action himself and had made comments about suicide. However teenagers do say things of that nature.

"There is an element of speculation but it seems to me that Harry did not intend it to be fatal. Therefore the conclusion is one of misadventure. Misadventure is similar to an accident, it is the deliberate undertaking of a risk that goes wrong, causing death."

Donald Trump took to Twitter to throw shade at Anthony Scaramucci after the former aide criticized him publicly.

Trump discredited the former White House communications director, who served for less than two weeks, by tweeting an old video of Scaramucci praising him.

He captioned the video: "Nobody ever heard of this dope until he met me. He only lasted 11 days!"
Trump's tweet comes after Scaramucci suggested the Republican Party should push Trump off the 2020 presidential ticket. In a Monday opinion piece in The Washington Post, Scaramucci wrote that he was wrong to support Trump before.

He added: "I can no longer in good conscience support the president’s reelection."

Sharing a link to the Washington Post article, Scaramucci tweeted: "I made a mistake supporting @realDonaldTrump. I don’t need to be absolved of that. But now I will do what it takes to help make things right."

Reverend Obofour, the G.O of Anointed Palace Chapel in Ghana, has claimed that every pastor loves a woman with big buttocks.



The controversial man of God made the claims during an interview on his TV show as he took a swipe at pastors in organized churches, who according to him think they are way better than Pastors in a ‘one-man church’.



The reverend reportedly noted that pastors of organized churches also believe that they are womanizers. But he argued that their assumptions are not true because every pastor likes a big backside.



He said: "If all pastors in Ghana, elders and all church leaders are sitting and a woman with big butt0cks passes, everyone will turn around and look at it because we all love big butt0cks.”


According to GhanaWeb, the clergyman who is pictured above with his wife recently ordered her to stand up during church service and show her big buttocks to prove she is indeed heavily endowed.

Gunmen have kidnapped Reverend Elisha Noma of Nagarta Baptist Church in Angwan Makiri, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The gunmen were said to have stormed the pastor’s residence early Wednesday, Igbere TV reports.

The cleric’s son, Emmanuel Elisha, was initially taken but set free to get the ransom ready in five days.

This comes nearly two weeks after a resident pastor of the Living Faith Church in Angwan Romi, Kaduna, Jeremiah Omolewa, was killed.

“They picked me together with my father. But after a while into the bush, I was released and they went away with my father. One of them was dressed in military camouflage.

“As they released me, they threatened that if we fail to bring money in five days even though they didn’t mention the specific ransom, they will kill him,” Emmanuel said.

He added that they have been sceptical about reporting the incident to the police because “when we had similar experience in the past and we contacted them, they did not do anything about it.”

Cool FM On-Air Personality, Dotun, was involved in an exchange of words with a Twitter user over popular reality TV show, Big Brother Naija.

He had made a passing comment about the relationship between housemates, Khafi and Gedoni.


The user had replied calling him a “disgusting human.”

The broadcaster subsequently said, “you know what saddens me is the vile you all carry over a bloody show �. It shows how stupid you all are. It is a bloody show with a bunch of people showing a side you all exhibit everyday. Nothing special. Get out of your feelings.”

In an interview with QedTV on the red carpet of the Oxymoron of Kenny Blaq, Dotun had revealed that he was indifferent about Big Brother Naija.

He said: “I’m indifferent, whatever anybody wants to do with the show is fine, good for them.”



“I don’t really have a take on it, it’s a show, everybody enjoys it, if it’s a good show, good, if it’s a bad show, good.”

He, however, said that people who don’t want to watch the TV show can decide to ignore it or place parental control to prevent their wards from watching it.

Gunmen have stormed the Abubakar Abdulsalam Post-Graduate Hall at the University of Ibadan (UI), about a month after a female undergraduate hostel in the varsity was attacked.

According to reports, the hostel was attacked early Sunday with laptops, jewellery and other valuables taken by the assailants.

The bandits, about six of them, were said to have attacked the hostel wielding guns, machete and axes, Igbere TV reports.

According a source, the gunmen did not stay long in the operation after the hostel occupants raised alarm.

The institution’s security was said to have responded swiftly to the attack.

“They started robbing from the first floor and robbed like two rooms on the second floor. They were like six in number. What actually woke me up was the doors that they were banging. It was so loud,” a source was quoted saying.

Two male students resident in a nearby male hostel were said to have been stabbed when they attempted to intervene.

The institution has not issued a statement on the incident.

Gunmen had on July 12 invaded UI’s female hostel, Obafemi Awolowo hall.

Two students were injured in that attack. The gunmen went away with cash, phones, laptops, and other valuables.

Former Abia State Governor and Senate Chief Whip, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has described the Senate as a very simple institution, 042Hits Media.

Speaking at the 40th-anniversary celebration of the founder of Destiny International Mission, Uyo, on Saturday, Kalu said he discovered that senators behave like students in secondary school with the Senate president as the class prefect.

Kalu noted that he doesn’t want to make noise because he believes in working.

He also recalled his academic sojourn in the University of Maiduguri, where he refused to complete his studies because the authorities sacked his colleagues but recalled him and a few others.

“I refused to go back because they didn’t recall everybody. I had only a month to complete my studies.

“But Prof Jubril Aminu took me as his son, not his boy but his son because God was with me.

“When I went to the Senate, I found out that it was a very simple institution. The senators behave like students in secondary school with the Senate president as the class prefect. I don’t want to make noise because I believe in working,” he said.

He also described himself as a “child of destiny whose footsteps are ordered only by God”.

The Senate chief whip who was in company with Sen Sandy Onor representing the Senate president, and other senators at the occasion, congratulated the celebrants, Archbishop Bassey and wife, Blessing, for weathering the storm of the ministry for a long period.

Onor speaking on behalf of the Senate president said Nigeria needs all religions to come together and pray for the country.

He congratulated the cleric couple and charged them to hold onto their faith believing that the glory of the latter house would be greater than those of the past 40 years.

The keynote speaker, Prof Peter Esuh, speaking on the topic “Redefining our leadership context in a modern day Christianity,” challenged Nigerians to be good followers so that the nation would get the desired good leaders.

According to Esuh who is a professor of communication in the University of Uyo, only good followers would point out in a responsible manner, those actions and inactions of the leaders in order to correct them and have a better society.

The chairman of the central planning committee of the event and senator representing Akwa Ibom South Senatorial District, Dr Akon Eyakenyi, while thanking the guests, especially her colleagues from the Senate for taking time to honour the occasion, presented gifts to the Senate president, through Sen Onor, and Sen Kalu.

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that tanker drivers who blocked the Abuja-Kaduna highway on Friday would pay for their action.

The drivers blocked both lanes of the highway to protest the death of one of them who was allegedly shot by a policeman for refusing to give N2,000 bribe, Igbere TV reports.

Eyewitnesses said the deceased, a J5 driver, was shot around midnight at a checkpoint near OLAM Floor Mill, Kaduna.

The driver was allegedly transporting smuggled rice to an unknown destination.

The road blockage organised by the protesters left thousands of road users stranded.

El-Rufai, in a tweet on Friday, said the state police commissioner was investigating the incident but added that the drivers would pay for the roadblock.

“The State Commissioner of Police is investigating and reporting to our Attorney-General for immediate prosecution of the trigger-happy officer, but the tanker drivers have no right to do what they did, and must pay the price as well,” he said.

Reports say a Dangote female truck driver was the first to arrive at the scene, blocking one of the lanes before other drivers joined.

The drivers insisted they would not remove the barricades until El-Rufai and the police commissioner addressed them.

Immediate past governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has denied a statement attributed to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleging that it had frozen certain accounts linked to him.

The former governor said no account of his contained N9.9 billion let alone being frozen by the EFCC.

He said that in the spirit of Sallah and having served Lagos well with utmost dedication and integrity, his record is very clear and his mind joyful for the opportunity to have served the state diligently.

In a statement on Friday by his media aide, Habib Aruna, Ambode said while he did not intend to join issues with the anti-corruption agency at this time especially as there has been no communication between him and the commission on this issue, it is pertinent to clarify what he believed was a misleading import of the press statement on Tuesday.

According to the former governor, the accounts in question that were frozen by the Federal High Court belong to the Lagos State Government and not him or any individual.

“Those accounts were opened in the course of normal operations by the Lagos State Government for its administrative purposes and not for the former Governor’s personal transactions as was being wrongly insinuated and have been operated to ensure smooth operations of government activities by previous and present administrations. The former Governor was not and will never be involved in any unauthorized use of government property and resources.

“We strongly believe that after four demanding years as Chief Executive of Lagos State, Mr. Ambode is entitled to some deserved rest with his family and loved ones without the unwarranted attacks on his well-earned reputation,” the statement said.

Ambode also extended warm Sallah greetings to President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Bola Tinubu, and the entire leadership of his party.

He also wished Lagosians well in the spirit of the season.
