Yes ooo I remember a few years ago when there was serious fighting between the ijaws and the itkeris it was very bloody, So I think we should remain united and practice through federalism where the state govt gets the derivation from the income of the state and pay like a 40% tax to the federal there by making the federal unattractive to greedy politicians

Defeated Peoples Democratic Party candidate for Ogun Central Senatorial District, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, did not turn up to exercise her civic obligation during the Presidential election on Saturday.



Even her father, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, almost missed the accreditation of voters as he arrived at a polling centre at ward 11 unit 14, African Church Grammar School in Abeokuta around 11. 31pm. Accreditation ended at 12noon at the centre.



Our correspondents, who was at the centre when voting started at 12.30 reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission officials deliberately delayed voting hoping that Obasanjo-Bello would come to vote.



Until voting ended, there was no information on why the senator, who heads the Senate Committee on Health, did not participate in the exercise.



But her father, who cast his vote at 12.35pm said that the low turn out of voter in Ogun State and some parts of the country was not unusual.



He argued that since the return of democracy in 1999, presidential elections were usually characterised by low turnout of voters.



Obasanjo, who was in company with his wife, Bola, expressed satisfaction at the election, describing it as a victory for Nigerians and Nigeria.



He said, “I believed that to all of us Nigerians, it is a sign of victory. We elected a president and we went about it peacefully and at the end a winner will emerge.



“From what I have seen so far and from the reports that I have received; this election is generally peaceful and orderly.



“To all of us, especially the party whose candidate wins, it is our victory and a victory for democracy. Every election in a way moves us towards consolidation of our democracy.



“My own election in 1999 put paid to ethnic politics in Nigeria and I hope this one too will put an end to whatever may be the monster that is trying to rear its ugly head in another area.

The vicinity of the Ward 005 Kabala Costain polling unit of Vice-President Namadi Sambo was virtually turned to a battle ground as alleged supporters of the Congress for Progressive Change wanted to humiliate the nation’s number two man.



CPC supporters carrying the posters of their party’s Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, who had besieged the polling unit, confronted the vice-president who had come for accreditation around 11.52am, shouting “sai Buhari”, “sai Buhari”, “chanji dole”, meaning we surely want change.



The CPC supporters who also booed the vice-president, held Sambo’s convoy for some minutes before it found its way out of the rowdy environment and drove away towards his Camp Road residence.



As Sambo’s convoy drove out of the area, some of the alleged CPC supporters threw shredded pieces of paper on the cars on the vice president’s convoy while the others hit the vehicles with bare hands.



The incident generated a near-confrontation between the supporters of the CPC and those of the ruling People’s Democratic Party at Sambo’s polling unit, resulting in heightened tension amongst the residents of the area.



The security agents had a hectic time controlling the surging crowd of CPC supporters.

A python, yesterday, swallowed a baby at Okada, Edo State.



Witnesses say the snake, measuring about 10ft long, swallowed a six-month-old baby that was left abandoned outside a house.

The baby was reportedly left on a mat outside, while the mother went inside. A witness, who claimed to have arrived the scene as the snake was in the process of swallowing the baby, raised an alarm. People rushed to the scene and killed the snake, but were too late to save the baby.

The Federal Appeals Court in Benin City, Edo State, late afternoon annulled the election of Delta State governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan, and ordered fresh gubernatorial election in the state within 90 days.

The decision followed the appeal brought by Mr. Great Ogboru against Governor Uduaghan, who has governed the state since 2007. The appeal panel earlier dismissed the petition brought by the AC candidate, Okocha, where he sought the nullification of Uduaghan's election because of his exclusion from the 2007 election by the Independent National Electoral Commissiony (INEC).

The Edo State capital erupted in jubilation over the verdict. Pending the ordered elections, the Speaker of the House of Assembly will step in as "Acting governor".

Since the picture of Denrele and Charley Boy kissing started circulating on the Internet, a lot of people have been debating and asking if both personalities are lovers indeed.

But as the picture has raised so much talk, his Royal Punkness, Charley Boy, is having a ball, not caring about what is being said.

In fact, he told Life and Beat that he was the one that released the picture. “But you should know that I’m a hype master. We were shooting some of our pictures when I called Denrele and told him I was going to kiss him. I called the cameraman and told him to take the shot,” he said.

CB, as he is fondly called, said people should continue talking about him as he didn’t care about the controversy the picture has raised.

“See now, am I not making their lives exciting? Now I have relieved them of their boredom by giving them something to talk about. Let them continue,” he said.

CB says he is an artiste, as such, any moves he makes should be allowed.

“I’m trying to make people see beyond the picture. People are busy talking about it,” says CB. “You have to have confidence in yourself and be real. Nobody can claim to know me better than myself. The picture was designed to shock timid Nigerians who have chosen to reason like that.

“I came out with a nude picture and it shocked people. People should focus on things that are good, focus on the strength and not the weakness. Don’t focus on the hype and trivialities. Focus on things that are profound.”

CB says he is out to change lives.

With his Battle of the Gifted, the Area Fada has made an impact in the lives of many Nigerian youths.

“I organise a debate for youths in secondary schools in Abuja, where they come to the Punk Palace, not only for the debate but also for quiz, drama and dance. I was in Ibadan the other day for Dreams Come True competition, which was organised by Jazzy B. The Charley Boy Foundation gave a cash prize of close to one million naira to the winners.

“I’m not claiming to be a saint, but I always tell people to look beyond the ordinary. A lot of people have come to realise that the picture was just a stunt. Some others are of the view that I should have pulled another kind of stunt but how does it look like? Am I not an artiste?”

Edo Assembly in Rowdy Session as Lawmakers Impeach Speaker

The Edo State House of Assembly was yesterday thrown into a rowdy session as some lawmakers purportedly impeached the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Zakawanu Garuba.
Trouble started when Garuba adjourned plenary till today in spite of the impending point of observation raised by Bright Omokhodion (Esan West constituency).

The failure of the Speaker to recognize Omokhodion resulted in hot argument and the seizure of the House mace by the Action Congress (AC) members. It later led to a free-for-all and tear gas and axes were used freely by the lawmakers.
Three AC members - Minority Whip Phillip Shaibu, Johnson Oghuma (Etsako Central constituency) and Kabiru Ajoto (Akoko-Edo 1) - were injured in the brawl.

At this stage, the Speaker was whisked away by his security aides.
After the exit of the speaker, 12 members of the AC and Omokhodion of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who eventually defected to AC bringing the total number of the lawmakers to 13, reconvened and impeached Garuba and his deputy, Levis Aigbogun.

The 13 lawmakers appointed Peter Usman Aliu of the AC (Etsako East) as speaker protempore.
Moving the motion for Garuba and Aigbogun’s impeachment, the former minority leader of the House, Paul Ohonbamu (Egor), said the action was sequel to allegations of fraud and financial impropriety among others levelled against the two.

Ohonbamu also moved a motion for an indefinite suspension of the former Majority Leader of the House, Frank Okiye (Esan North East 1), and Blessing Agbebakun (Owan West) for bringing arms into the assembly.
According to him, “In line with the constitution of this House, we have obtained the 16 members’ signatures calling for the suspension of the speaker and his deputy due to some allegations of fraud, financial impropriety among others. And you know in line with the constitution, the speaker and his deputy cannot be judges in their own cases and accordingly they have left. And I therefore moved that we nominate a speaker protempore in the person of Peter Usman Aliu to take over the proceedings for the time being.”

The speaker protempore, Aliu, after taking the oath of office, constituted a three-man panel to investigate the allegations levelled against the impeached speaker and his deputy.
The panel has Ohonbamu as chairman, Johnson Oghuma (Etsako Central and Esan West), and Omokhodion as members. The panel has seven days to submit its reports.

They also resolved that the impeached speaker, Garuba; his deputy, Aigbogun; Okiye; and Agbebaku should not to be seen within the premises of the House throughout the period the investigation lasts.
Reacting to his impeachment, Garuba in a press briefing in his office said he remained the speaker of the House as the petition was not signed by two-thirds of the lawmakers as required by the 1999 constitution.

He said: “I believe we all live in a civilized society and not in an uncivilized state of nature, where it is survival of the fittest. The constitution and the rules of our House provided for the removal of the speaker, deputy speaker and other offices of the House.
“This can only be done by two-thirds of members of the House which will therefore be 16 out of the 24 members of the House. We have present with me in my office 11 members. It therefore means they can never have 16 since those 11 present with me here said they were never part of what they claimed to have done. The miracle about their activities is that not a single person saw their petition.”

He said nobody saw the petition which they claimed was signed by two-thirds, adding that by virtue of provision of rule 38, he had adjourned plenary indefinitely as only he could reconvene the house.
Garuba, however, declared the seat of Omokhodion, the only PDP member who participated in the purported impeachment, vacant on the ground that he had defected to the AC in accordance with section 109 subsection 2 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Accordingly, I have done a letter to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a by-election into the seat of the honourable member representing Esan-West constituency,” he said.
He noted that in line with the provisions of section 109 subsection 2 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a letter had been dispatched to Omokhodion informing him of his decision and what the constitution says on such matter.
However, in another press briefing, the Speaker protempore, Aliu, accused Garuba of arrogating to himself the power he does not possess.

Referring to the defection of Omokhodion from PDP to AC, Aliu said a member is free to change his party and that the speaker has no power to suspend or declare the seat of any member vacant.
He said 16 members who constitute two-thirds signed the petition of impeachment of the speaker and his deputy.

“We have suspended and impeached Zakawanu” he said, adding that Okiye, Aigbogun and Agbebaku were also suspended from the House indefinitely.
He therefore requested Garuba to return all House property in his possession to the Assembly, saying that all the suspended members would forfeit their salaries for the period of their suspension in accordance with the House rules.
