Facts have continued to emerge on the forces making desperate moves against Nigeria’s former Head of Service, Mr. Steve Oronsaye.
EFCC-Nigeria1
Reliable sources within the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who spoke on the grounds of anonymity, revealed that the negative media reports on Mr. Oronsaye were sponsored by cronies of the immediate past and even the present leadership of the Commission.

Perplexed by recent media trial of a senior citizen, one of the sources described the development as an unfortunate desperation to achieve selfish objectives.

Steve-Oronsayeand-efcc_340According to him, “this is not fair. It is not the first time. The other time, it was a report alleging that he was involved in N6.2b pension fund diversion while in office as Head of Service, among others. Another one was that the Auditor General’s Report indicted him for N123billion fraud. Again, the 7-count amended charge bothering on alleged criminal breach of trust, as Chairman of the Presidential Committee on the Financial Action Task Force-FATF, These things are all stories concocted to tarnish the image of the man seen as the backbone of the move to separate the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit from the EFCC, thereby giving it autonomy.”

“Do they think that Nigerians are fools? How come an “alleged case of fraud” claimed by the people that manufactured the story was kept in the shelf until when the move to establish the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Center-NFIC reached an advance stage; or was it kept as a weapon for blackmail against the elder statesman?” Is Premium Times and Sahara insinuating that EFCC cannot undertake any credible investigation without rushing to the newspapers? Are trials in Nigeria now executed on the pages of newspapers?”

Adding his voice, another source within the Commission confirmed the revelation, adding that Mr. Ibrahim Lamorde, the former EFCC Chairman “was very bitter with the former head of Service for backing what he saw an offensive move and from all indications, the acting Chairman of the commission, Ibrahim Mustapha Magu is beginning to toe the same line.”

According to him, “This is cheer conspiracy to besmirch the good reputation Mr. Oronsoye has built over the years. It may be recalled that Mr. Oronsaye, as the former Head of Service personally wrote a letter reporting the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT) findings to EFCC, which resulted in the prosecution of one Mrs. Chidi and others.”

“Surprisingly, after the EFCC closed investigations in the Pension case in 2010, arraigned the subjects in 2011, obtained a “negotiated judgment” on one of the pension suspects in 2013, the ex-Chairman of EFCC in an obvious show of incompetence sought to reopen the investigation by claiming that one of the suspects “wrote an additional statement” to include Mr. Oronsaye.

“Note that Mrs. Phina Chidi is the lady who has been covering her face in all the pension trial cases. This is a woman whom, investigation reports showed glaring evidence of her involvement in moving money from pension accounts using “her under-aged children”. How can a woman who ought to have been convicted all of a sudden become a star witness for the EFCC? Was she under duress after three years to forge a story against Mr. Oronsaye? Why now? Nigerians are not asking questions. I work here; I am involved and we know what is happening.”

“We are all aware that Mr. Oronsaye started the investigation of Pension fraud when he became Head of Service. He set up the Pension Reform Task Team (PRTT) before he retired in 2010. He also personally submitted the final report of that task team to EFCC and ICPC and invited them to investigate and prosecute those indicted before he retired. How come the complainant is now being witch hunted? Instead of prosecuting all those found guilty, EFCC has now turned to claim that it has evidence to prosecute Mr. Oronsaye –forged evidence generated by his ‘selected investigators’ from the North, including Mr. Mustapha Abdurrahman and Mr. Mustapha Gadanya, a younger brother to Mr. Tahir, who, not only was a staff of Mrs. Chidi, but who has been dismissed from civil service for conspiring with Mrs. Chidi to steal Pension fund? Why is EFCC making a charade of such an important case? As an insider, I feel pained, but we are helpless?”

Also, the move to establish the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Center (NFIC) that will be responsible for the receipt of information from financial institutions and designated non-financial institutions, analysis of the financial information for the purpose of turning this information into financial intelligence and dissemination of the financial intelligence to all law enforcement agencies was the issue that became a thorn in Mr. Larmode and Magu’s flesh. Lamorde vowed several times that he would do whatever it took to prevent the Chairman of the FATF Committee, Mr. oronsaye, and the members of the Presidential Committee from complying with international and regulatory requirements on the establishment of FIUs globally.

EFCC resorted to the media as a weapon to finish the credible statesman off. It is only a country like Nigeria that an anti-corruption agency like the EFCC will spend millions of Naira on media Organisations monthly to manipulate and influence media reports and outcome of investigations before the investigations are even concluded. Several Media Organisations are on the Commission’s payroll.

EFFC under Lamorde saw NFIU as its golden goose and cash cow, which was why the commission left no stone unturned in ensuring that the NFIC bill didn’t see the light of the day. Unfortunately, the acting chairman of the commission, Magu has started perceiving the NFIU in that light and has decided to start where his predecessor stopped in persecuting Mr. Oronsaye, who they see as the brains behind such laudable bill.
The commission and many Nigerians know very well that Oronsaye is innocent of the crime he is being accused of. President Muhammadu Buhari has to be aware that the EFCC which is supposed to combat corruption sincerely in order to ensure the success of the anti-corruption crusade of the present administration has begun to derail from that track and is now beginning to witch-hunt some people like Mr. Steve Oronsaye. If Magu ever toes the line of Lamorde, then he should consider himself as a misfit and leave that office immediately.

WDNews Exclusive: Money laundering, perjury may unseat Kebbi Governor Bagudu





WDNews authoritatively reports that Alhaji Bagudu has been accused of perpetrating perjury by lying in a Form C.F. 001 he filed before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that he had never been sentenced or convicted for any offence by a court of law.


Documents exclusively obtained by WDNews showed that Governor Bagudu was apprehended in Houston, Texas in the United States of America on May 22, 2003 based on extradition warrant requested by Britain on behalf of Isle of Jersey.
Today, he is still on the United States and United Kingdom’s wanted list, which simply implies that, the alleged constitutionally unfit Governor of Kebbi State can neither travel to US nor UK because of his money laundering charges. Beyond that, Alhaji Bagudu can’t still travel to Asia or Europe as a Governor.

Sometime last year, he was billed to be on President Buhari’s entourage to France. When they got a report from Interpol that he would not be permitted entrance into the country, his name was quietly removed from the list of dignitaries embarking on the trip with the president. This is enough to let us into the fact that as a man on th Kebbi Governor Bagudu
Kebbi State Governor Bagudu

e run, he should not be seen anywhere close to the president, least he tarnishes the very good image the President Buhari has built over time.


When Governor Bagudu was detained in US, he was bailed from a six-month detention at an American prison by his wife, Hajia Aisha Bagudu with the sum of $500, 000 with an order setting conditions of his release.

In summary, the documented evidence stated that, “It is ordered that the release of the relator is subject to the following conditions: the relator shall appear at all proceedings or any other place as required. The relator shall immediately advise the Court, defense counsel, the Department of Justice and the Pretrial Service Agency, in writing, before any change in address and telephone number. The relator shall not commit any offence in violation of federal, state or local law while on release in this case. The relator shall not travel outside of the continent of United States, except as required by conditions that the relator promises to present himself to the appropriate authority in Nigeria within 14 days of his release and his passport will be returned at the airport at the time of his departure from the US, through his defense counsel, for this purpose etc.”

When he flouted the bail conditions by running away from the United States back to Nigeria, the US authority requested his extradition to the country, but it was alleged that the former Minister of Justice and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, in connivance with Bagudu, replied to US’ letter of extradition that the Nigerian Government could not surrender its citizen to them without even the consent of President Goodluck Jonathan.

According documents in our possession, Governor Bagudu was an associate of Mohammed Abacha, son of late Sani Abacha, who the late military dictator used as his henchman to launder billions of dollars for him.

Alhaji Bagudu aided the transfer of virtually all the Abacha loots from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to offshore accounts.

Also, on April 9, 2003, a warrant of Bagudu’s arrest was issued by the Honourable Philip Bailhache, the Bailiff and Chief Justice of the Island of Jersey. Bugudu was not present at that Jurisdiction at that time.

The document stated, “according to an investigation by authorities of the requesting state, primarily supported by documentary evidence, witness statements, and the admissions of defendants, Bagudu is an associate of Mohammed Sani Abacha, the son of late Nigerian dictator, General Sani Abacha. Bagudu is accused of playing a key role in assisting Abacha and related persons in the looting of hundreds of millions of dollars of assets of the Government of Nigeria.

The document further revealed that on April 2, 1998, Bagudu and Abacha opened a bank account at Deutsche Morgan Grenfell Bank (Channel Islands) Ltd (Deutsche Bank) in Jersey, thereafter, used this account to despoil Nigeria’s treasury with reckless abandon.

For the record, Governor Bagudu has refunded billions of Naira to the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Investigation by WDNews revealed that President Olusegun Obasanjo persuaded Alhaji Bagudu, under an agreement signed in the Office of National Security Adviser (ONSA) to return the Abacha loot. He allegedly facilitated most of Abacha loots that were returned under Obasanjo’s regime. But more billions of dollars of the Abacha loot are allegedly still hidden in Governor Bagudu’s personal accounts.

Meanwhile, this case has been in court since March, 2015, prior to the Governorship election, making it a pre-election matter but sadly, up till now, no progress has been registered on this pre-election case that is lying on the table of Hon. Justice Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

This may not be unconnected to the fact that his legal counsel is the alleged venal Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Ricky Tarfa, who has allegedly been doing a shady and hatchet job for Governor Bagudu all along.

Recall that recently, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission arraigned Mr. Rickey Tarfa, for allegedly obstructing EFCC’s investigations and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Tarfa was arraigned on two counts before Justice Aishat Opesanwo of a Lagos State High Court in Igbosere.

In the charge numbered LD/2417c/16, the EFCC alleged that the senior lawyer willfully obstructed two of its authorised operatives, Moses Awolusi and Sanusi Mohammed, from effecting the arrest of one Gnanhoue Sorou and Nazaire Modeste, “who were reasonably suspected to have committed economic and financial crimes.”

In the second count, Tarfa was accused of making an attempt to pervert the course of justice “by communicating with Hon. Justice M.N. Yunusa of the Federal High Court through your mobile telephone No. 08034600000, whilst suit No. FHC/L/CS/715/2015 between Rana Prestige Industries Nigeria and the EFCC; and suit No. FHC/L/CS/715 between Hair Prestige Manufacturing Nigeria and the EFCC were pending before the said judge.”

Consequently, EFCC has begun to investigate all the court cases Tarfa has handled and is still handling, as it has been alleged that he is infamous for abetting criminals and giving kickbacks to judges to pervert justice.

In recent times, Alhaji Bagudu has continued with questionable actions such as alleged diversion of the Central Bank of Nigeria Dry Season Farming loan for peasant farmers to grow rice in Kebbi State.

He equally runs a State Executive Council where his wife, Dr. Zainab Shinkafi-Bagudu has been parading herself as the Commissioner for Health; no Commissioner for Information, Agriculture and Education yet.

Recently, the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari was invited to commission a hospital that was built by the previous government in Jega Local Government Area and the hospital was named after the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari. The Governor has claimed that the hospital project was built by his administration.

Meanwhile, all efforts to get the Kebbi State Governor to respond to these allegations via phone calls and text message proved abortive.

Instances can be sited where the president vehemently refused to go to Kogi for Audu Abubakar and Bayelsa, for Timipriye Sylva gubernatorial bids because of the corruption cases hung over their heads by the EFCC. It is also on record that President Buhari refused Lado Danmarke, Mohammed Abacha and Yaka Wada guber tickets in 2011 because they also had corrupt antecedents.

Now that the country is in the era of change and trying to promote a corrupt free administration. The weighty poser now is; will Mr. President shield and protect Governor Bagudu from prosecution? Will he also allow a major player in the much vaulted Abacha loot remain as the Governor of a State? Is this not going to serve as a litmus test for President Buhari’s anti-corruption crusade? Could this much talked about change be for real or just a ploy to grab power at all cost?

Even his hometown can't give him such befitting welcome!
Despite the hardship, we know they mean well for this nation and as such will endure for posterity to have it better.

because his people are sensible, yu can see in the picture that those are just zombies, the guy hawking pure water in that pic now sells for N15 instead of N5 and they are still happy. its only the uneducated illetrates of kano that will praise him, the saner ones have started booing

This commentary is inspired by Olusegun Adeniyi’s “Of wailers, counterwailers and Buharideens” (ThisDay, March 31). In that piece, the ace journalist and public affairs commentator successfully defines the tri-polarities governing public responses to the Muhammadu Buhari administration. The take-away is that the biggest challenge that Nigeria faces at the moment is political partisanship, which has divided the country into the camps of rights and wrongs and a fierce and bitter contestation over who is right or wrong.

One year after the last Presidential election that led to the exit of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), after 16 years in office and power (sorry, the 60 years project failed) and the exit also, of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, there is now a bitter fight out there on the streets over whether or not Nigerians took the right decision by voting for change, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Muhammadu Buhari. President Goodluck Jonathan’s over 12.8 million supporters have proven to be loyal and indeed that they exist as a serious, organized political force.

They have wasted no muscle, saliva or emotion in slyly reminding Nigerians generally that the electorate didn’t think properly about the choices they made in the 2015 general elections. President Buhari gained 15.4 million plus supporters in that election and they too are not ready to abandon their choice. And as Adeniyi brilliantly points out, you have the Buharideens, whose devotion to the incumbent is at the level of passion, religion and ethnicity. Adeniyi forgot to mention the Jonathanians (I wonder why) who afraid of persecution, have since laid low strategically, but are now beginning to show their hands, as a new contest for the public mind begins, close to the first anniversary of the Buhari administration in power.

My tentative take is that there is too much ego, passion and self-righteousness out there on the streets. Add the reverse triumphalism of the defeated PDP. Well, scratch that. Add opportunism. You may scratch that too. Add didn’t-we-tell-you-the-change-you-sought-was-nothing-but-one-chance? Now, scratch that and replace with the other group saying you-thieves-should-go-hide-your-heads-in-shame. Hmmm, scratch that quickly and replace with all-of-us-na-barawo-una-go-see-wetin-we-go-do-to-you-when-we-come-back. Now don’t scratch this completely, leave some of the ink, and replace with there-is-no-vacancy-here-na-joke-una-dey-joke-because-we-know-corruption-is-trying-to-fight-back. Now, come on, scratch everything and replace with the realization that Nigeria today is entrapped in a vicious power game, a muddled integrity game and a desperate one-upmanship, my-car-is-better-than-yours game. It is as if the election has not ended, it is as if we are still in the season of political campaigns.

I blame the APC strategists for allowing things to remain at this level. They have failed to see the need to move quickly from campaign to governance mode. They are also behaving as if they are under the spell of Karma. The PDP wailers are tying them down, with taunts, forcing them to still campaign after the election. They have now pushed them to become defensive, the exact place where the PDP was more than a year ago, but it is worse, as the APC and its agents have become irritable. The result is that the APC and its government are beginning to over-react to every little provocation. They used to accuse the Jonathan government of being reactive rather than pro-active (I never agreed), but that is what they are doing now, and it is worse according to current testimonies. They who used to be regarded as the masters of this kind of game are losing grip of it.

Today’s men are thus making precisely the same mistakes we made, if we may charitably say so, and if they continue this way, and do not quickly change the narrative, their tactics and their strategy, they may with their own hands unwittingly prepare the grounds for the hobbling of their own government. They have already made one big additional mistake, which the Jonathan government didn’t make: they are forcing the people to look back. They are forcing the people to check the dictionary for the meaning of change and to start asking simple questions. They are practically motivating the people to be nostalgic. The kind of compare-and-contrast narrative that is determining prevalent sentiments is ironic at all levels.

A fellow that should professionally qualify as an idiot even asked the other day: who is thinking for this government? The truth is that there are always people thinking for government but they are mostly the wrong people, exploiting primordial advantages rather than natural and trained gifts. But the worse that has happened in the shape of an own goal is the APC fighting itself. This is too Karmic, and too much of a repetition of recent history, to be true. When Asiwaju Bola Tinubu called out Dr Ibe Kachikwu on the management of the lingering nationwide scarcity of fuel, and the latter’s response to public angst – that was a deadly own goal. When the administration puts Senate President Bukola Saraki in the dock, and treats him like a renegade, that is another own goal. The seemingly intractable scarcity of fuel and foreign exchange and the rising cost of everything is the biggest own goal, in addition to the open denial of promises made to the people. In our time, there were persons who used to wonder whenever certain things occurred if the Jonathan government was not under a metaphysical spell; perhaps, it is possible for a government to be under spells: man-made and induced. We have been told, for example, that government is not a magician, credited to Dr Ibe Kachikwu, the Minister of State for Petroleum/GMD NNPC but is anyone aware that another government spokesperson had actually said President Buhari never promised to perform magic, weeks before Kachikwu echoed the same point? Check that, and reflect on the point about magical spells.

I bring up these points merely to provoke further thought. In the last one year, certain specific lessons have been learnt, and you don’t need a Ph.D to know this, just check with the ordinary man on the street. Lesson one: change doesn’t mean transformation. The change of form is not the same as the change of content or style. Lesson two: politicians are the same, no matter the label. Lesson three: it is not easy to run Nigeria. The challenges, year after year, government after government, party after party, are basically the same. Lesson four: it is easy to criticize; it is not as easy to govern. Lesson five: every party or government in power has skeletons in the cupboard and ghosts in their courtyard. Lesson six: the contest for power in Nigeria is a permanent struggle at the heart of the national question. Lesson seven: Nigeria is a country in search of good men and heroes. Lesson eight: the love of government, religion or the kinsman, is not the same as patriotism. Lesson nine: truth can be relative. Lesson ten: politicians in Nigeria are who they are: whores. Lesson eleven: small things matter most.

These propositions are organically contradictory to the extent that they provoke further interrogations. They could generate egotism, unnecessary contestation, bile and argumentation. We do not need that right now. Those who voted, not necessarily for the APC, but for President Muhammadu Buhari saw him as a game changer and a statesman, who having nothing at stake other than love of country, will move the country forward. The grievances in the land are directed at him. The people may not know APC but they know Buhari. They placed their bet on him. They want answers from him. Olusegun Adeniyi says he should not lose the popularity that brought him to power, but he does not tell us how. I suspect that the answer lies in President Buhari insisting that Nigeria must come first. The Manichean approach to governance that has remained dominant for almost one year has divided the country right down the middle, vertically and horizontally, creating camps of disaffection that government does not need. The effect may not yet have been seen, but it is that latent effect that will on the long run, determine the fortunes of the Buhari administration. The time has come for President Buhari to take another look at the tea leaves and ask the forces of division to put Nigeria first.

He came into office as a legacy figure and statesman. He assumed office not as a man seeking history but as a man of history. His remit is to deepen that history and his credentials as a legacy figure and statesman. Those who are reducing his tenure to a competition with the immediate past as justification and platform miss this point and they have seen enough contradictions on display to realize the limitations of their strategy just in case there is one. There is only one valid strategy for a man with Buhari’s antecedents: sustained connection with the popular will. President Olusegun Obasanjo managed that very well during his first term (1999 -2003) and President Goodluck Jonathan is gaining back whatever he may have lost – his individual heroism and the failure of the APC ‘s post-election tactics, have shed useful light on his achievements in office via the force of inevitable comparison.

I believe that the Buhari government has reached that moment when it must review its house-keeping tactics. One option is for the President to move beyond the APC and run a government of national unity. He must search far more widely for meaning, purpose and inclusivity at the levels of thought and policy options. He needs to run a government that shows that it has since gone beyond elections, and seeks to build a nation. One year is gone, so he has very short time. The best assessment of the last one year in office cannot even be done by him, his staff or pundits. He only needs to listen to the anonymous man on the street from Kano to wherever. The people will always speak, and they must be heard, and as the Buhari government approaches its first year in office, the people are speaking louder than ever. Nigerians may be implacable, but when they begin to murmur, it is better to listen. If anyone tells President Buhari that it is the PDP making such noise, let him not believe such persons. If they tell him there is a Jonathanian cabal fighting him, he should tell such persons to try another line because that particular song is beginning to sound too familiar. There may be no magic to governance, but there is certainly serious magic in statecraft. Mr. President, the past is in the mirror.

Everyone is blaming Kachikwu. While the minister of Petroleum is attending a Nuclear summit. What concerns Petroleum minister with nuclear summit? Why are we blaming a minister of state instead of the substantive minister of Petroleum. Let the minister of petroleum affairs kindly resign.

Hmmm
That our government office holders send their children abroad to school does not mean we should not attend Nigerian universities...

IMO corp members being at the election grounds are more beneficial than harmful,
speaking from experience there are lean chances of harm to them as they do not play very sensitive roles during the voting process...

In 2011, we lost lots of corpers, in 2015 they were threatened, now we are loosing people again. They should boycott until their security is assured

The kids of Gov. Wike and Rotimi Amaechi are all schooling abroad. When they are ready for NYSC they will serve in Abuja and be exempted from all NYSC camp and election matters. They will even travel out of the country during the election periods. So as every other politician in Nigeria, from Buhari to the LGA chairmen. So why is it only the poor NYSC students that are called upon to be patriotic during this elections. The death of a corp member in the last election in Rivers is an eye opening issue to this nation. In all the pictures and clips of politicians shown, they are going around with multitude of security men, but the NYSC corp members are left to protect themselves. Let the children of the politicians become the observers of their parents election. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH... forget about the little change they give you as payment.

For more opinion and breaking news visit: www.wdn.com.ng

That Rotimi Amaechi is an irresponsible Federal Minister is the least of our worries. Our main worry is that he is still on the job - uncautioned, unquestioned, unsanctioned by his employer.

Why irresponsibility?

Come with me.

I am three months into administrative apprenticeship as head of an academic unit in a University. I've never been in Admin so it's a learning process and I am enjoying every bit of it. You can therefore pardon my naivete when the time came to leave my seat and be absent for a week.

Nigeria happened to me in terms of what I thought the procedures of absence would be.

I called my predecessor and asked him if he didn't mind being Acting Director during my absence and he graciously agreed. I thought that was it.

Poor me!

I was soon thrown into a daunting administrative architecture of disengagement. Two Deans must be notified of my absence; the principal admin staff of the two Deans must be notified; a certain number of people in offices I have never heard about must be notified; the financial office must be notified.

These are all arteries of the administrative system that must be aware of who has signatory authority for the unit in my absence. Oyinbo's work must neither stop nor suffer in your absence.

Throughout the week, the web of required notifications kept expanding. When I finally heaved a sigh of relief and thought it was all over, I received a memo from yet another office asking if I wanted to transfer electronic signature authority to the Acting Director.

Apparently, all I had done during the week did not cover electronic signatures as I could very well decide to hold on to e-authority and sign things electronically during my absence.

Knowing that there is no light, no water, no nothing where I am heading to and my access to the internet could depend on the strength of prayer warriors yonder, I respected myself by also transferring electronic authority to the Acting Director.

One week of painstaking procedures to transfer authority of just one unit in a University just because one society evolved a culture of hatred for impunity and lawlessness - a reality which makes the Institution bigger than the person.

As I went through this handing over process, my blood pressure increased and my health deteriorated. I grumbled to Bamidele Ademola-Olateju, Moses Ochonu, Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo, and Omoyele Sowore.

I told them that I am tired of Nigeria. Here am I being told that the life and work of one academic and administrative unit in a University is incompatible with the ethos of Oga is not on seat. You cannot just take off and go.

That is just one Unit in a University o.

Yet, some useless state governor will be responsible for the lives of about ten million people and will just take off and travel - no handover, no continuity, etc. The life of the state and the people stops once Oga is not on seat. No process, no institutional integrity.

Yet some useless Senators will abandon their duty posts just like that.

Yet some useless Federal Ministers will just take off and leave.

Think of how many Directors, commissioners, etc just take off and leave in Nigeria.

Just like that!

Who, for instance, authorized Rotimi Amaechi's week in Port Harcourt? What were the procedures of disengagement and continuity that were undertaken in his Ministry? How were the perm sec and the Directors in his Ministry notified and what was delegated to who? And which superior authority signed off on this trip to Port Harcourt? What did he say he was going to do in Port Harcourt? Did he tell whoever his superior is that he was abandoning his duty post to go and play gutter politics in Port Harcourt?

A Minister, as we know, has one superior authority. Did he authorize Amaechi's absence from work? Was he notified? Or is it just the Nigerian way? After all, Baba knows that it is APC work that I am going there to do!

How can a Minister just take off and leave?

This jungle society of impunity is not acceptable. It is not sustainable.

And to think that all he went to do was politics at the expense of his job.

Lives were lost. I hold Rotimi Amaechi and Nyesom Wike wholly and exclusively responsible for the lives lost.

There will be no end to barbaric elections in Nigeria until we evolve a process that will hold politicians directly responsible for the loss of lives during elections in which they are involved.

Our society is still too primitive and ignorant for us to expect that we can get civics across to the street and tell the youth beyond social media that useless politicians like Amaechi and Wike ain't worth dying for. No Nigerian politician is even worth missing lunch for - let alone dying. But we are not at that level of national consciousness yet hence the struggle must be to hold the politicians directly accountable for the loss of lives.

Abba Moro is today answering for the lives lost during his corrupt hiring process.

We must struggle for a society in which Amaechi and Wike will one day be hauled before a judge for the lives that were lost in Rivers state this week.

A good place to start is for President Buhari to look into Rotimi Amaechi's absence from work this past week. That is one week of work he has stolen from Nigerians. It should be deducted from his salary. Shior!

Peter Okoye has explained the reason Cynthia Morgan will never release a collaboration with P-Square in a new interview.

Peter had earlier said his brother Jude hijacked Cynthia Morgan from him but he shed more light on the matter while also revealing that he almost signed Simi.

‘When I set up P-Classic records because people were saying P-Square haven’t helped anyone, I saw the success of Tiwa Savage and I was close to signing Cynthia Morgan and Simi. Ask them they’ll tell you.’

‘I remember Paul came to the studio and said he heard I’m signing Simi and Cynthia, I said ‘Yes’, and he was like ‘What will people see Jude as’, and I gave him example of Drake and Young Money, Cash money.’

Oscar (Producer of ‘Collabo’ ft. Don Jazzy) called to tell me that they can’t sign the deal, because he heard it’s causing problem in P-Square. Meanwhile Cynthia and Simi were both going through the contracts I gave them only for them to return it two days later, that they can’t do it.
Two weeks after, I was shocked to hear that Jude had signed Cynthia Morgan.

Nigeria Professional Football League defending champions Enyimba FC will take on Tunisian club Etoile du Sahel in the final qualifying round of the tourney over the weekend of April 8-10, in order to book a place in the next stage of the CAF Champions League.

While the Nigerians will be hoping for a repeat of their 2004 CAF Champions League final feat, Etoile will be hoping for a repeat of the group encounter, when they got the better of the Nigerians.

Paul Aigbogun’s men saw off Vital’O 6-3 on aggregate to get themselves on the threshold of a competition they last won 12 years ago. Meanwhile, Etoile du Sahel made light work of Moroccan side, Olympique Khouribga, grabbing a 3-1 aggregate win.

Aba Elephants returned more resolute in the final and after a 3-3 tie over the two legs, Enyimba won on penalties to become the second ever team to successfully defend the title.

Back in 2004, though, the Aba Elephants were defending champions and found themselves in the final against a group stage foe. Etoile du Sahel had got the better of the 2003 champions taking 4 points from Okey Emordi’s side and topping their group.


However, the Aba Elephants returned more resolute in the final and after a 3-3 tie over the two legs, Enyimba won on penalties to become the second ever team to successfully defend the title.

Over the years, that story of Enyimba’s gallantry had almost become a myth with their hiatus from competition proper stretching five seasons. However, in the weekend commencing 8-10 of April, both Enyimba and Etoile will reignite their rivalry in the competition and perhaps they’ll settle a folklore score.[quote][/quote]

Apc propaganda party, am in rivers state the truth is Chief Emeka Woke, Chief of Staff Government House has just been attacked by gunmen said to be the security details of APC Chieftain Dakuku Peterside. His driver managed to drive the bullet ridden car into the compound of the Department of State Security, a stone throw from where the incident occurred. His current state is unknown as at this time. God have mercy.
It's unfortunate that same Dakuku is the first to call a press conference. Though Wike''s reputation has been dented and maligned but this act of the rivers apc is a macabre dance of shame.

This is definitely true... APC is just wicked just confirmed this story from an insider in PH.
