In politics there are men and there are boys, Atiku belongs to the category of boys. Wike is not an easy going person. If there is still any party call pdp in Nigerian then it is the one that Wike is holding strong. PDP can never recover from 2023 election defeat due to highhandedness of Atiku and Peter Obi. It was a clear opportunity for them to take power from the ruling APC, yet Atiku refused to allow Wike to contest the election. Wike is the only reason there is still something like PDP. 1 Like |

Speaking at the weekend when Wike led a delegation of his political associates to his palace to rejoice with him for surviving a debilitating ailment, the monarch lamented that he was in a critical condition in the hospital when his removal was announced. The monarch claimed that he was in an Intensive Care Unit, ICU, when the governor removed him, stressing that he spent ten hours in a coma and six days on ICU. He said, “I was sacked from my seat the day I was in ICU. I was in a coma for 10 hours. I told him only (Wike) because everybody rejected me. “The government I was serving rejected me. “I am learning how to stand up because I was in ICU for six weeks with gadgets all over my body fed through my nose. And you (Fubara) told people when I was in ICU that I was a man of questionable character. “You said Sergeant Awuse, I am not steady. That is one quality I don’t deserve.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu on Wednesday, expressed willingness to seek negotiations with the Federal Government. Kanu anchored his move for a negotiation with the Federal Government under section 17 of the Federal High Court Act The IPOB leader has been detained by the Department of State Services, DSS, since 2021 when he was re-arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria.Since his return, the IPOB leader has been facing trial for terrorism-related charges before an Abuja Federal High Court. Section 17 of the Federal High Court Act states that “In any Proceeding In the court, the court may promote reconciliation among parties thereto and encourage and facilitate the amicable settlement thereof”. Speaking through his lead counsel, Alloy Ejimakor, Kanu informed the Abuja Federal High Court of his negotiations after he moved two applications brought before the court. The first application is to move for form 49 and an application objecting to the jurisdiction of the court. Ejimakor said if the applications are denied they will move for the implementation of section 17 of the Federal High Court Act. Responding, the Federal Government’s counsel, Adegboyega Awomolo, informed the court that he had earlier informed the defendant that he does not have the powers to negotiate on behalf of the Federal Government, as the fiat given to him does not empower him to negotiate. He added that the defendant should approach the Attorney General of the federation. In her reply, Justice Binta Nyako said the court was not a solicitor, but to only hear cases. |

| Nairaland / General / Igbo Ladies Not Great For Marriage’ – Speed Darlington by emmatex2020: 12:13pm On May 23 |
Controversial rapper Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, who recently announced the criteria for his potential wife, stating fluency in Igbo language as a must, has now made a U-turn on his preference for Igbo ladies. In a video message shared via his social media page, Darlington advised eligible bachelors to avoid marrying Igbo ladies, claiming that they “are not great for marriage.” According to him, Igbo ladies are “proud and promiscuous.” Darlington said, “This message is for my brothers who are planning to marry. Listen to me, you are not more exposed than I am. My job makes me travel a lot. So, I think I’m very quality to give this advice. “Avoid Igbo girls, they’re not great for marriage. I am an Igbo guy and I am telling you about our girls. Avoid Igbo girls, they’re very greedy and unappreciative. They behave like black American women; nothing you give a black American lady is enough. “Igbo women are also very proud unlike Yoruba and Hausa women. I wonder how someone is going to live with such a braggadocious woman. They’re the number one prostitutes in Nigeria. Most social media feminists are Igbo women.” His claims earned backlash, with many berating him for pouring his personal frustrations on Igbo women while speculating that he was generalizing his experience. “Avoid Igbo girls, they’re not great for marriage. They’re also proud, they’re the number one prostitutes in Nigeria. Most social media feminists are Igbo Women” |

The Kano State Police Command has handed over about N9.9 million wrongly transferred to a POS operator to the rightful owner in the Dawanau Grain International Market in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of the state. This is contained in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abdullahi Kiyawa, in Kano on Thursday.

Kiyawa explained that on receipt of the report, the Commissioner of Police, Usaini Gumel, directed a discreet investigation to identify the rightful owner and return the money to him. He said that it took the police investigation team three months before identifying the original owner of the huge amount. “On March 14, the investigation was concluded in the sequel to the uncovering of the identity of the rightful owner, who happened to be a trader at the famous Dawanau Grains Market located in Dawakin Tofa. “The owner (name withheld) commended the POS operator and the police for their efforts, and out of joy, he presented a cash gift of N500,000 to the POS operator. “He also appreciates the commissioner for the show of honesty and integrity by the police, saying this was a demonstration of exemplary leadership, "he said. |

| Nairaland / General / BREAKING: NLC President ‘arrested’ In Imo by emmatex2020: 2:09pm On Nov 01, 2023 |
The President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Comrade Joe Ajaero has been whisked away by the Police in Owerri, Imo State capital. The development followed an ongoing protest by members of the union in the state. It was gathered that the protest was hijacked by miscreants, who smashed vehicles and inflicted wounds on labour members. DAILY POST recalls that the union had on Sunday announced that it would stage a protest in the state over the alleged violation and abuse of rights and privileges of workers by the State government. Ajaero’s arrest was reportedly effected as early as 8am Wednesday morning. Our sources said workers were gathered at the state Secretariat of the NLC for the protest when suddenly some men with weapons stormed the Secretariat and attacked the workers and chased them away. However, the workers re-assembled at the Secretariat again but this time led by the NLC President and General Secretary, Emma Ugboaja to commence the protest. The source said, just as Ajaero was about to address the gathering, a team of armed Policemen came and took him away alongside some officials of the NLC. Reports said several gunshots were fired to disperse the gathered workers. NLC’s Head of Information and Publicity, Benson Upah confirmed the development, saying the Police have arrested Ajaero. He said: “The NLC President was abducted by men suspected to be Policemen armed to their teeth at the Imo state NLC secretariat on Wednesday as we were about to commence our lawful protest against the violation of trade union rights of the workers”. Also while giving an account of the incident, NLC Deputy General Secretary and Chief of Staff to the NLC President, Chris Onyeka said that he was standing with Ajaero when he was brutalised and arrested. “As workers were gathering to protest their maltreatment by the state government in Owerri, Imo state and the President of NLC was about to address the workers, the Police came amidst attacks by thugs to arrest Ajaero. “Thugs first attacked and dragged Ajaero from the platform before Police came to arrest him along with another senior official of the NLC,” he said. |

| Politics / Drama In Senate As Akpabio, Ndume Clash Over Nigeria-benin Border Motion by emmatex2020: 4:27pm On Oct 17, 2023 |
A mild drama erupted in the Senate on Tuesday when the President of the Red Chamber, Senator Godswill Akpabio and the Chief Whip, Senator Ali Ndume clashed over a motion on the need to reopen the Nigeria-Benin Republic border. The clash, which almost turned into a rowdy session, forced the Senate President to call for a closed-door executive session that lasted for hours. The motion on the border, moved under a matter of urgent national importance of the Senate Standing Rules by Senator Summaila Kawu (NNPP Kano South), for debate by Senators, allegedly had no specific title and Senator Ndume raised a Point of Order to correct the “error”. Attempt by the former Senate Leader to request correction for the alleged error, happened barely 10 minutes after commencement of the plenary, but the Senate President refused the correction. Specifically, Senator Ndume who rose through Order 51 of the Senate Standing Rules, requested the Senate President to allow for correction of any error made or observed in plenary. He said: “This is the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria guided by laws, rules and procedures. If in the course of proceedings at any session, errors are observed, they must be corrected before forging ahead with such proceedings.” But the Senate President quickly intercepted him by saying having ruled on issues raised, it cannot be revisited and consequently ruled Senator Ndume out of order. Efforts by Senator Sunday Karimi (APC Kogi West) to sustain Ndume’s line of argument through another Point of Order was also swiftly ruled out of order by the Senate President. In an effort to restore harmony, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibrin Barau quickly rose to read Order 16 which requires a substantive motion to be moved by any Senator for correction or review of earlier decisions taken. Sustenance of Barau’s Point of Order by Akpabio infuriated Ndume, who raised another Order (54) to seek for correction of the perceived error. The Senate President ruled him out of order again without being allowed to make full presentation of his argument. Angered by Akpabio’s decision, Ndume packed his documents and furiously stormed out of the chamber. Apparently perplexed by the scenario, Senators hurriedly went into a closed-door session which lasted for hours and affected the items on the Order Paper for the day. 1 Like |

THE National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Asaba, Delta State, has nullified the election of the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Constituency at the House of Representatives, Mr. Ngozi Okolie.

Elumelu, in the petition no EPT/DL/HR/06/2023, argued that Okolie was not properly sponsored by the Labour Party, and that he did not resign his position as a public office holder.
