 Nairaland / General / FG Appeals For Dialogue With Niger Delta Avengers by nwatiti(m): 4:36pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
The federal government says the presence
of soldiers in the Niger Delta region does
not mean the government was opposed to
dialogue
– The secretary to the government of the
federation, Babachir Lawal says there is
need for the government to identify the
representatives of the militants before a
dialogue can take place – Appeals to leaders of Niger Delta communities to call the militants to order Niger Delta Avengers has consistently rejected dialogue with the government and is demanding resource control for the Niger Delta region. The federal government says it is ready to dialogue with the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and other militant groups in the Niger Delta region. According to Premium Times, the secretary to the government of the federation, Babachir Lawal, said on Saturday, July 2, that the presence of soldiers in the region does not mean the government was opposed to dialogue. He said there is need for the government to identify the representatives of the militants before a dialogue can occur. He said: “Government is not averse to discussing with them (militants) but we need to know who is in charge and who we can discuss with meaningfully; that’s the dilemma of the government at the moment. “There are so many groups making it difficult to know who to talk to and the level of control that group will bring to the process.” Lawal, who pointed out that the activities of the militants were more inimical to the region than other parts of the country, appealed to leaders of Niger Delta communities to call the militants to order. “When they blow up oil pipelines, the spill destroys their water and lands, a development that will take years to recover. They are more victims than the rest of Nigerians,” he said. Meanwhile the NDA have reported about their new attacks on oil and gas producing facilities belonging to Chevron, the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The group in a series tweets claimed responsibility for attacks on Friday, Saturday night and early Sunday morning on at least five facilities in Delta state. The group consistently has rejected dialogue with the government and is demanding resource control for the Niger Delta region. Meanwhile, Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa state has issued a warning to the federal government security outfit in the Niger Delta region on how they handle militants in the region. Dickson, who specifically cautioned Rear Admiral Joseph Okojie, the new commander of the Operation Delta when he received him on Friday in Yenagoa, the state capital, asked them the security agency to be professional. Speaking through his chief press secretary, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, the governor harped on the importance of allowing the security agents to be neutral in dealing with criminal activities. |
| Nairaland / General / Minimum Wage Committee Begins Deliberations by nwatiti(m): 4:26pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
The 15-man committee inaugurated by the
Federal Government on the implementation of
the new minimum wage for workers has started
sitting.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) gathered
from some members of the committee at the
weekend that it had met once.
Mr Chris Onyedika, Acting General Secretary of
a faction of the NLC and a member of the 15-
man committee, also confirmed that it had
started deliberations on the agreement reached
between the Federal Government and factions
of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) in May,
this year.
The 15-man committee will review the Federal
Government’s liberalisation of the downstream
sector of the petroleum industry, leading to the
new fuel pump price of N145 per litre.
The committees will discuss and recommend a
new national minimum wage, the N500 billion
palliatives being proposed by the Federal
Government and the re-constitution of the
Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory
Agency Board, among other issues, before
presenting their recommendations to
government,’’ Onyedika said.
NAN recalls that the government in May
increased the price of Petrol from N97.00 to
N145 per litre, which led to some agitation and
a warning strike by Organised Labour.
The Joint Negotiation Council had also started
to agitate for an increase in national minimum
wage for workers, which was last reviewed five
years ago.
Meanwhile, at this year’s International Labour
Organisation (ILO) conference in Geneva ,
Switzerland, participants encouraged the ILO to
promote the ratification and implementation of
the Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970.
The NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC),
the two central labour organizations in the
country have proposed N56, 000 as the new
national minimum wage to the Federal
Government, as against the current
N18, 000.
The current national minimum wage law which
prescribed N18, 000 was enacted in 2011. |
| Nairaland / General / I’ve No Hand In Abia Crisis – AGF by nwatiti(m): 3:56pm On Jul 03, 2016 |
Ade Adesomoju, Abuja
The Attorney-General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami, said
on Sunday that he had yet to offer any legal
opinion on the developments which followed the
June 27 judgment that sacked Governor Okezie
Ikpeazu.
The minister, through his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Salihu Isah, asked
parties to the case to await decisions of the
court.
Justice Abang had sacked Ikpeazu for allegedly
disclosing false information in relation to his tax
clearance details to the Independent National
Electoral Commission in his form nominating
him as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party for the last year’s governorship election in
the state.
The judge, also in the said judgment, ordered
the governor’s foremost rival who was the first
runner-up in the primary that produced Ikpeazu
as the candidate of the PDP, Mr. Uche Ogah, to
takeover.
The judge held that Ikpeazu was not qualified to
be PDP’s candidate having disclosed false
information to INEC in violation of his party’s
election guideliness and the Electoral Act and
thereby ordered that Ogah be sworn in as
governor in Ikpeazu’s stead.
This elicited tension and a stalemate situation in
the state when on Wednesday, the INEC, acting
on the judgment, issued a certificate of return
to Ogah, paving the way for him to be sworn in
as governor.
Malami, in the statement issued by his media
aide on Sunday, denied having a hand in INEC’s
decision to issue a certificate of return to Ogah.
Isah said the INEC had yet to seek the
minister’s opinion on the issue and that the
minister had yet to offer any.
He described as “crass lies” alleged insinuations
“being peddled and disseminated by a cross-
section of Nigerians and the various media
platforms that the Honourable Attorney General
of the Federation is behind the legal logjam
over the Abia state governorship seat.” |

| Romance / 7 Ways To Drive Your Partner Wild In The Bedroom by nwatiti(m): 6:55am On Jul 01, 2016 |
To make your man remain committed to you
for life, you need to rock his world in the
bedroom.
Traditionally, men are the ones who initiate
sex. They are wired that way as a result of
their ancient hunter ancestors.
Most men love women who are open to
trying new things in the bedroom. But it gets
boring when he has to be the one doing this
every time. There’s more to sex than just
penetration.
Everyone has a different sexual appetite but
a woman who can take her clothes off with
confidence is much more attractive than a
woman who asks her man to turn the lights
off first.
So it is important not to make your partner
feel bad about anything he wants to do with
you.
Don’t judge him, be open to his fantasies, so
he will feel safe to express himself sexually
and be connected to you on a deeper level.
NAIJ.com has therefore come up with seven
ways to drive your man wild and have him
on his knees begging for more.
1. Attitude
Guys want to have sex with a woman who is
actually into it. Eagerness and enthusiasm
go a long way. A lot of women have the
attitude that just letting a guy have sex with
her is some kind of gift, and guys hate that.
If you are just going through the motions, or
doing it out of obligation, as a favor, or
because you want something in return, that
is a major turn off.
The ultimate turn-on for a guy is being with
a woman who is enjoying the sex just as
much as he is.
2. Tell Him “I Want You”
Men have a strong need to be sexually
wanted. Just telling a man “I want you” can
do all kinds of things for his ego.
Letting him know how much you enjoy sex
with him also works great. Try telling him, “I
love having you inside me.”
If you’re too shy to say that aloud, try
texting him.
If you don’t want to be that direct, you can
let him catch you staring at his butt or any
other part of his body that turns you on.
Perhaps even touch him more than usual,
especially in naughty places.
Objectify him a little, lust after him, and let
him know how much he turns you on. You’ll
catch him off guard and make him feel like
he’s so sexy you just can’t control yourself.
3. Be In Charge
Although men love to be in charge, they like
to be dominated every once in a while too. It
can get boring after a while to be the one
who is always in control.
It drives a guy wild when a woman grabs
him, pushes him down, and has her way with
him. A woman who knows what she wants
and goes after it is a huge turn on.
If you tend to let your man take control all
the time, try turning the tables and taking
the reins once in a while. Not only will your
man be in for a surprise, but he’ll know
without a doubt how much you want him.
4. Express Yourself
Guys love it when you let loose and get loud.
A woman who can express herself in the
bedroom is a huge turn on.
Whether it’s moaning and groaning or
uninhibited screaming, they appreciate the
feedback that whatever they’re doing is
working. Guys need to know they’re doing a
good job. They want to know that they’re
driving you so wild that you can’t help but
scream in ecstasy.
5. Instruct Him
Every woman is different when it comes to
what they like. Guys appreciate a little
guidance on how to pleasure you, otherwise
it’s a lot of trial and error on their part.
You are the one person who knows exactly
what it takes to get you off, so help a guy
out and give him some instructions to set
him in the right direction. Don’t be shy about
it!
Whether you guide him with sounds or words
of encouragement when he’s on the right
track, or flat out tell him what to do when
he’s not, most guys will be thankful.
A woman who knows what she wants is a
turn on. Plus, guys get a lot of sexual
gratification from pleasing their partners.
6. Worship Him
For men, sex is very much about feeding
their egos. They want to feel desired,
appreciated, and worshiped.
And this is why MouthAction is so important to
men. They are fixated on it so much
because they want you to worship their
cocks just as much as they do.
The key to giving a mind-blowing Mouth Action is
actually enjoying it. Having the power to
send your man over the edge with a knee-
buckling, thigh-quivering orgasm should
make you feel sexy as hell.
Make eye-contact with your man and let him
see how much pleasure it gives you to
please him.
7. Be Real, Don’t Fake It
Women usually mean well when they fake an
orgasm. They don’t want to bruise their
man’s ego so they just let him think he
finished the job.
However, you are actually giving positive
reinforcement for something that did not
work. If your man is not pleasing you, tell
him how he can. Above all, your man really
does want to please you and faking it does
not it allow him to be the best lover he can
be. |

| Celebrities / Incredible Things You Will Learn From Tiwa Savage's Life by nwatiti(m): 10:20pm On Jun 29, 2016 |
Tiwa Savage is one of the brilliant artistes we
have in Nigeria; she is a talented singer and
performer who have not limited herself in the
entertainment world. She is a proud mother who
has made her life revolve around her son; the
same way every African woman does.
For a while, her name had been in the air
following the domestic drama that ensued
between her and her estranged husband, Tee
Billz. We would try as much as possible to be
fair and leave that issue alone. Nigerians and
her fans had been judgmental enough. We
should give her a break and help her move on
with her life. These things happen in other
people’s lives too; the fact that they are
celebrities does not mean we should dwell on
their problems and leave ours.
Back to the main matter, Tiwa Savage fits the
perfect description of an African woman. The
Nigerian singer and performer was born in Ikeja
before she relocated to London with her family
when she was eleven. She graduated from the
University of Kent where she badged a degree in
Business Administration. She did backup vocals
for George Michaels when she was just sixteen
and worked with artistes like Mary J. Blige,
Chaka khan, Blu Cantrell, Ms Dynamite to
mention just a few.
All these asides, we would be looking at key
points you can learn from the life of this
beautiful singer. They would no doubt leave you
inspired:
1. Learn to be strong in all things
As much as we do not want to talk about the
fight this talented artiste had with her husband,
we cannot help commending her bravery and
strength.
Usually, when people go through breakups in
marriages, they are usually devastated. Many do
not know how to pick up from that point and
move on with their lives.
As much as she handled the issue with much
grace and finesse, we know that she would have
moments of somber reflection.
But with what we have seen in the past couple
of days following the ugly drama, this diva had
been able to saunter into another phase of life.
Do not let your situation define you. Learn to
move on and carry on with your life. We never
stop living until we die. Do not make yourself a
living dead.

cooking with canned tomato paste
2. Bravery and dedication
Another thing you can learn from Tiwa Savage is
being brave and dedicated. If you know the
history of this young and beautiful singer, then
you would understand that she has come too far
to let anything get her derailed from her dreams
and life goals.
She participated in the UK edition of the X-
Factor and made it to the last twenty-four. She
did not give up and quit as a singer.
She is one hell of a woman with prospects; learn
to put your all into something you believe in and
that big break will come someday.
3. Learn to be a super woman
In the interview she granted after the fall out
with her husband, she said a lot. This will open
your mind to the kind of woman she is. Although
she appeared to be in pain while she granted the
interview many thought of to be staged, she
made points that one could reason with.
She is not the kind of woman that would wait
for a man to do things for her. She knows her
roles and responsibilities as a mother and wife
and try as much as possible to do her best.
She was footing the bills in her home and did
not leak this out until everything became ugly. It
is good to be hard-working as a woman; if you
find yourself a rich man, then it is a plus.
4. Make your family come first
Despite her achievements in her musical career
and all, she has never stopped being the mother
of her son. While some of you may say there is
no big deal about that, we should call your
attention to the fact not everyone can do that.
She goes everywhere with her child and cannot
afford to leave him for a second. She also
dresses well for him and shower him with all the
love a mother could ever give her child. Women
who are not celebrities leave the affairs of their
children to the maids and use their busy
lifestyles to cover up.

not miss in Nigeria
5. Remember others and reach out to
them
Tiwa Savage is down to earth; despite her
upbringing and the fame she has acquired, she
tries as much as possible to reach out to
others.
She is actively involved in various youth
empowerment schemes as her way of reaching
out to people. Apart from the youths, she plays
active roles in breast cancer screening across
the country.
A notable input of hers was when she tried
raising money for an organization that builds
schools. There are some of our celebrities who
are yet to learn the act of giving.
Life should be about making positive impacts.
Live and do things that would make people
remember you long after you have gone. |

– Niger Delta Red Squad has threatened to
attack some government and oil facilities in Imo
state
– The militants fumed that oil producing
communities have nothing to show for the many
years of oil exploration and exploitation
– The group equally promised an imminent
attack on the facilities of Waltersmith
Petroleum Oil Limited
Militants have promised an imminent attack on
the government and oil facilities in Imo state.
A new militant group, the Niger Delta Red Squad
(NDRS), which has carried out attacks on oil
facilities in Imo state, has threatened to unleash
more attacks in the future.
READ ALSO: Niger Delta militants reject Boko
Haram comparison
In the current threat by the group, signed by one
General Don Wannie, the militants threatened to
attack some government and oil facilities in Imo
state.
According to Vanguard, the group fumed that oil
producing communities have nothing to show for
the many years of oil exploration and
exploitation.
“Oil companies started operation in our community
since 1957, but up till date, we have nothing to
show as benefit. For Imo State government, we
will make sure you make no further gains from
Ohaji/Egbema.
“Since God’s creation, neither Imo State
government nor oil companies have remembered
us. We have been neglected and abandoned. No
electricity. No tarred roads. No drinking water. No
hospital. No youth employment or empowerment.
We shall destroy everything in Imo State that was
built with our oil money,” NDRS stated .
The group which claimed responsibility for an
attack on a facility operated by Shell Petroleum
Development Company in Awarra, Ohaji/Egbema
local council area of the state promised to inflict
maximum damage to oil facilities, if Ohaji/
Egbema communities are not given due benefits
from their oil resource.

coming to attack them any moment from now.”
Meanwhile, the Members of the Delta

warned the Niger Delta Avengers to stop
bombing of pipelines or risk confrontation with
Itsekiri people.
Vanguard reports that Comrade Omolubi
Newuwum who is an ex-Itsekiri warlord said the
bombing of pipelines in the region by the
Avengers was provoking the Itsekiri people.
He said the reason why the people are not
taking up arms against the government was
because they were peaceful. |
| Education / Federal Government Insists Post-utme Remains Banne by nwatiti(m): 9:50pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
Education minister says the
announcement was important to re-echo it
in the minds of stakeholders
– Argues that only JAMB scores and
certificates should be requirements for
admission
The federal government has reiterated its
desire to place a permanent ban on the Post
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(Post-UTME).
This much was disclosed by Malam Adamu
Adamu, Nigeria’s minister of education, who
confirmed that the initial ban on the
exercise, stated categorically that it (the
ban) takes immediate effect.
According to a press statement obtained by
Leadership, Adamu said he had to
emphasise the ban so as to ensure that no
stakeholder is left in doubt on government’s
position.
Ben Ben Goong, the deputy director, press
and public relations in the ministry of
Education, issued the released which read:
“For the avoidance of doubt, any educational
institution after secondary education is
regarded as a tertiary institution. Therefore all
tertiary institutions, polytechnics, Colleges of
Education, universities or by whatever name it
is called after secondary education must be
subjected to admission through the JAMB.
“Clearing in this case (screening) entails only
the verification of certificates of the
candidates, JAMB scores, and any other
physical examination to ensure that such
candidates are not cultists. After this, the
candidates are qualified for matriculation.
“Such screening should be at no cost to the
parents or students and should be done upon
resumption in order to avoid unnecessary
travels in search of admission.”
The minister added that a situation where
final year students in the nation’s secondary
schools are subjected to too many
examinations in one year could be best
described as traumatic, exploitative and
absolutely unnecessary.
Recently, a report by Daily Sun detailed how
some universities have tactfully ignored the
directive of the federal government as
regards the recent cancellation of post-
UTME fees.
According to the report, the universities have
devised other means to test applicants and
charge administrative fees in the process.
The universities were said to have invited
applicants for admission for the 2016/2017
academic session, ask them to pay certain
amount and also sit for a screening test
before being considered for admission. |

New trade deals will need lots of government
lawyers
Brexit looks set to be boom time for lawyers.
Anthony Woolich, from international trade
lawyers Holman Fenwick Willan, says
government lawyers need to look at the UK
relationship with the EU and out to the world.
For the EU, a deal could take the shape of
joining the EEA, like Norway; or a free trade
agreement; Swiss-style bilateral agreements; a
customs union like Turkey; or falling back
on WTO non-discrimination rules.
Looking out, the UK for a while
could "grandfather" - piggyback on trade
arrangements the EU has with about 50 other
countries, before it then has to renegotiate them
itself.
Are there enough lawyers to do it?
He says many would need to be brought up to
speed. It's a lot of agreements for parliament to
approve, with a lot of countries.
They also need to go through four decades of
EU legislation to decide what to keep.
"I think it's going to take a long time," he
says. But:
13:32
The EU needs the UK and the UK
needs the EU. The UK has about
50% of its trade with the EU, the
EU buys lots from the UK. It's in
everyone's interests for a future
trading relationship to be based on
a firm footing and be mutually
beneficial." |
| Nairaland / General / Again, Red Scorpions Blow Shell Pipeline In Imo by nwatiti(m): 8:05am On Jun 26, 2016 |
For the second time in a week, a new militant
group in Imo State, the Red Scorpions,
yesterday, may have bombed an oil pipeline
belonging to Shell Petroleum Development Oil
Company, in Awara, Ohaji/Egbema Local Council
of Imo State.
The members of the new group, which claimed
responsibility for the attack, had emerged in the
week, accusing oil companies operating in
Ohaji/Egbema and Oguta Local Councils, of
marginalising their host communities.
Consequently, the group issued an order
directing the companies to evacuate their
workers and quickly leave their communities.
They insisted that they could continue attacking
their facilities as long as they continue to
‘neglect and marginalise’ their communities in
terms of providing commensurate
developmental facilities and providing
employment for the people of the areas. They
accused the state and Federal Government, of
not doing enough to intervene in the matter.
In a statement, the militant group argued that
“equal rights should be given to them’ in the
country.”
Before the attack, the Imo State House of
Assembly had in a resolution, kicked against the
exclusion of Imo from certain allocations due to
other oil producing States in the country.
Reacting, the Imo State Police Public Relations
Officer (PPRO), Andrew Enwerem, said the
command got the information, stating that it
was yet to ascertain the extent of damage.
A few years ago, during the mopping up of arms
from militants, many youths from the area
willingly submitted their arms at the defunct
Multi Purpose Hall, Government House, Owerri.
But they complained that they were excluded
from the Federal Government’s Amnesty
Programme. |

– Eight people were reportedly killed in renewed
clashes between communities in Cross River
and Ebonyi states
– Community leader said that some women
from Ochienyim (Ebonyi state) were attacked by
unknown persons suspected to be from
Adadama (Cross River)
– A source from Abi blamed their Ebonyi
neighbours for killing five members of Adadama
community
– The state security adviser to the Cross River
state governor said that calm returned to the
communities
Eight people are feared to have been killed in
renewed clashes between communities in Cross
River and Ebonyi states.
Premium Times reports that the conflict
occurred between Ochienyim community in
Amagu, Ikwo local government area of Ebonyi
state and Adadama community in Abi local
government area of Cross River state.
According to residents, five of those allegedly
killed were from Adadama community, while
three others are from Amagu village. Several
people are also said to have been injured in the
violent clashes.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, Amagu
Ikwo community leader said that some women
from Ochienyim went to harvest cassava in their
farms when they were attacked by unknown
persons suspected to be from Adadama.
The source said that the attackers tried to
abduct some of the women but were resisted by
the youth who accompanied them.
“On getting back to the village, the women and
youths were still narrating their ordeal when we
heard gunshots and everyone started running to
safety.
“It was in the process of trying to escape that
three of our promising citizens were shot dead
and several others injured right in our village by
the blood thirsty Adadama youth. We are peace
loving people,” he said.
Meanwhile, a source from Abi, who also pleaded
not to be named, blamed their Ebonyi
neighbours for killing five members of Adadama
community and injuring three others.
According to him, trouble started when some
community women went to harvest cassava on a
land bordering Amagu village.
“The women were chased from their farms by
Amagu youth. When some of our women fled
home to report what happened, our youth went on
rescue mission a fight broke out leading to the
death of four of our youth,” he said.
When contacted, Jude Ngaji, the state security
adviser to the Cross River state governor, said
calm has returned to the warring communities. |
| Politics / We Have Strong Evidence On Sexual Misconduct- US OFFICIAL by nwatiti(m): 10:59pm On Jun 24, 2016 |
Officials of the US government said they
have strong evidence of sexual misconduct
allegedly put on the three members of the
House of Representatives
– US Ambassador informed the Speaker,
Hon Yakubu Dogara about the issue, as
gotten from a high-powered diplomatic
source
Premium Times gathered that some officials
privileged to confidential information said
Yakubu Dogara was told about the sexual
scandal by the US envoy in Nigeria.
Faces of the House of Representatives
members allegedly roped in a sex scandal in
US
U.S. Ambassador in Nigeria, James Mr.
Entwistle, wrote a letter dated Thursday,
June 9, alleging that three Nigerian
lawmakers – Mohammed Garba Gololo
(Bauchi APC), Samuel Ikon (Akwa Ibom
PDP) and Mark Gbillah (Benue APC) were
involved in soliciting sexual favours from
hotel staff in two separate incidents, during
their visit to the US.
READ ALSO: Sex Scandal: What Nigerian
lawmakers involved want
It was alleged that Gololo grabbed a maid in
the hotel and requested for sex, Ikon and
Gbilla were said to have told hotel parking
attendants to get commercial sex workers
for them.
The purported sexual misconducts happened
sometime in April at the Residence Inn
Marriot, Downtown Cleveland and were
immediately reported to State Department
officials by the hotel’s management.
The House of Representatives members who
reacted to the allegations and threats of
legal action, as local witnesses in Cleveland
and sources close to State Department and
the Nigerian diaspora community in
Washington DC informed Premium Times and
relevant U.S. officials, that they are in
possession of records specifying
“circumstances of” the alleged misconduct,
comprising of “eyewitness reports” and real-
time “video” evidence.
READ ALSO: Dogara tells US to prove sex
misconduct allegations
The source said: “The Ambassador wouldn’t
have written to the Speaker if there is no solid
evidence,” also saying that after the hotel
manager reported the sexual scandal, the
State Department officers “had to investigate
before acting on the allegations.”
The source who gave the details of
investigation carried out so far opposed
Gololo’s denial, stressing that of the three
lawmakers, “he is the one who actually put
his hand on somebody, the others only made
a verbal request”.
Premium Times gathered from the state
department that “the woman he (Gololo)
allegedly accosted felt intimidated.” On the
other hand, she reported the incident to her
supervisor at immediately after saving
herself from the offensive situation.
“You don’t need to have a car to talk to a
parking lot attendant,” A source said
“In all honesty, the Ambassador would not
have gone forward with the letter if there is no
solid evidence behind it,” further saying that
that Mr Entwistle “is not going to apologise;
there is nothing to apologize for.”
There have insinuations that Einwistle was
trying “to bring disrepute to the hallowed
institution of the National Assembly and the
entire nation of Nigeria”, as a source
informed said the intention was to put out
there that some participants in the
International Visitor Leadership Programme
(IVLP), not all, are guilty of sexual
misconduct and to educate participants who
may be admitted for this and other
programmes in future.
“The reality is that these three gentlemen
made a mistake. They violated the terms of the
IVLP of which they were duly informed before
they left Abuja,” Premium Times learnt from
the said source., while adding that,
“prostitution is not legal in the U.S., they were
informed about that before their departure.”
“If they had been remorseful, if they had just
said it was miscommunication and apologised,
that would have been the end of it. They were
accused of assault and solicitation, no one
talked about rape.” the source said further
In addition, Premium Times has it on good
authority that State Department officials are
not worried about the lawmakers’ threat of
legal action because, according to our
Washington DC sources, “they know their
evidence will hold up in court”.
“If they (Gololo, Ikon and Gbillah) want the full
spotlight of the justice system to shine on the
evidence in the possession of the State
Department, they should go ahead and initiate
a lawsuit.
“Their conduct was a breach of U.S. law,
instead of calling State Department officials,
hotel managers could have had them
summarily arrested and charged. As it is,
everybody gave them a pass, letting them
complete the programme without interference,”
The source revealed.
A Nigerian who lives in Washington DC said:
“I won’t be surprised if they keep female
service staff away from anyone who identifies
as a Nigerian or carries Nigerian passport.”
Earlier today, reports had it that, 10 Nigerian
lawmakers who attended International
Visitors Leadership Programme in Cleveland,
Ohio, United States, were interrogated by
officials of the US State Department over
allegations of sexual misconduct against
three of their colleagues. |

| Politics / Probe Unfair Allocation Of Oil Blocs,iyc Tells Buhari by nwatiti(m): 10:29pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
Probe unfair allocation of oil blocs,
IYC tells Buhari
23rd June 2016 News
Simon Utebor, Yenagoa
The Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide on Monday
warned that there will be more hostilities in the
Niger Delta region unless President Muhammadu
Buhari probes unfair allocation of oil blocs in the
country.
IYC President, Mr. Udengs Eradiri, gave the
warning at a news conference at the Ijaw House,
Yenagoa, as part of activities to celebrate this
year’s Isaac Boro Day.
Many shops in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital,
were shut on Monday following a directive by the
IYC that shop owners should not open for
business as a mark of honour for Boro.
Eradiri’s warning came barely five days after the
Niger Delta Avengers listed some oil blocs
allegedly owned by former Vice-President, Alhaji
Atiku Abubakar; former Minister of Defence, Gen.
Theophilus Danjuma; Ex-Minister of Petroleum,
Alhaji Riwalnu Lukman, other Northerners and
South-Westerners in the region.
The NDA had among others issued them a two-
week ultimatum to shut down operations at the
oil blocs and evacuate the workers from the
locations or have them attacked.
Eradiri said that most of the indiscriminate
sharing of oil blocs were allegedly carried out
when Buhari served as Petroleum Minister or
Head of State.
He accused the President of denying Niger Delta
people ownership of oil blocs at the time while
allegedly allocating same to his kinsmen and
their cronies like a bazaar.
He said, “One of the most salient issues that if
not addressed will lead to more crisis is the
issue of the oil blocs.
“President Buhari was one time Petroleum
Minister and Head of State in this country. Let
us go and do an assessment of that time. The
time when criminally they shared our oil blocs
was under his watch either as Petroleum
Minister or as Head of State. It is in one of
those times.
“Oil blocs were shared to one group. Look at it,
either the person (owner of oil bloc) was a
former military president or relative of the
military president or an in-law to a military
president.”
Eradiri insisted that the allocation of the oil blocs
did not follow due process outlined by the
government.
He called for a total review of the oil blocs to
redress the injustice that such a manipulated
process had brought against oil-producing
communities of the Niger Delta.
“And that is one of the biggest issues that if not
addressed, there will be more Niger Delta
Avengers, you will see groups and groups that
will spring up until the issue is addressed,” he
warned.
Eradiri described Boro as “an intellectual and
fearless comrade” who stood up for the Niger
Delta despite the oppressive tendencies of the
government at the time.
The IYC president noted that the issues of
underdevelopment of the region for which Boro
took up arms against the Federal Government
“were still hunting us till today”.

| Politics / Fayose Insists That His Election Was Funded By Zenith Bank by nwatiti(m): 6:01pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has
reacted to the alleged denial of the involvement
of Zenith Bank Plc in the funding of his election
in 2014, asking the bank should come out with
an official statement on the matter.
The governor was reacting to a news report in
the media claiming that the bank had dissociated
itself from the funding of his election.
Speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr.
Idowu Adelusi, in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, the
governor said, "I stand by my claim that Zenith
Bank Plc majorly funded my election in June
2014.
"I don't expect an organisation like Zenith Bank
to stay in a corner in a matter of national
concern like this and be talking.
"Rather, I expect the Zenith Bank to issue an
official statement not as feeble as this one being
peddled in the media so that I can begin the
second stage of my revelations.
"My statement was made in the open and if I
can accuse an institution like Zenith Bank in the
open, I expect the institution to give an official
reply.
"All that have been claimed to have been said by
the Zenith Bank in the media can be situated in
the realm of rumour.
"And I want to refer the APC, the Zenith Bank
and the EFCC to John chapter 8 verses 6-7,
which says, 'This they said, tempting him, that
they might have to accuse him. But Jesus
stooped down and with his finger wrote on the
ground, as though he heard them not. When they
continued asking him, he lifted up himself and
said unto them, he that is without sin among you,
let him cast the first stone.'"

failure awaits them." 1 Share

| Nairaland / General / European Union Referendum by nwatiti(m): 5:44pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
European Union referendum: UK goes to
the polls
23 June 2016 EU Referendum
Voting is under way in a historic referendum on
whether the UK should remain a member of the
European Union or leave.
A record 46,499,537 people are entitled to take
part, according to provisional figures from the
Electoral Commission.
Polling stations opened at 07:00 BST and will
close at 22:00 BST.
It is only the third nationwide referendum in UK
history and comes after a four-month battle for
votes between the Leave and Remain
campaigns.
In common with other broadcasters, the BBC is
limited in what it can report while polls are open
but you can follow the results as they come in
across the BBC after polls close on Thursday
evening.
The referendum ballot paper asks the following
question: "Should the United Kingdom remain a
member of the European Union or leave the
European Union?"
Whichever side gets more than half of all votes
cast is considered to have won.
The weather forecast for polling day is mixed.
There have been thunderstorms in London and
south-east England which caused flooding
overnight.
Kingston upon Thames Council in south west
London has moved two polling stations after they
were inundated with water.
Sunshine and heavy showers are forecast for
Northern Ireland and Scotland but it is set to be
drier and brighter elsewhere.
After the referendum polls close, sealed ballot
boxes will be collected and transported to the
count venue for each of the 382 local counting
areas.
These represent all 380 local government areas
in England, Scotland and Wales, plus one each
for Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.
Follow the action on the BBC
From 22:00 BST, there will be comprehensive
coverage on the BBC News website and app with
live text and video streaming, reaction and
analysis from BBC editors and others. There will
also be an up-to-the-minute full results service
and details of all local results .
BBC One, the BBC News Channel and BBC
Parliament will broadcast a results show hosted
by David Dimbleby alongside BBC experts and
special guests from 21:55 BST. Coverage
continues through the night and Sophie Raworth,
Andrew Neil and Victoria Derbyshire pick up the
coverage on Friday morning.
The results programme will be streamed
internationally on the BBC News website from
22:00 BST.
BBC Radio 5 live will have coverage as the
results come in, as will Radio 4 from 23:00 BST
until the Today programme picks up at 06:00
BST on Friday.
From 22:00 GMT, television viewers outside the
UK can tune in via BBC World News and BBC
World News America. Listeners outside the UK
can tune into BBC World Service radio for regular
updates.
Referendum night - what to watch out for
Results from these areas will then be declared
throughout the night, along with result totals
from 11 nations and regions.
Depending on how close the poll is, the result
may become clear before the final national result
is officially declared by the Chief Counting
Officer, who will be based at Manchester Town
Hall.
The Electoral Commission estimates a final
result "around breakfast time" on Friday.
The last nationwide referendum took place five
years ago, when voters rejected an attempt to
change the way MPs are elected.
The first one was in 1975, when the country was
asked whether the UK should continue to be a
member of what was then called the European
Economic Community. |
| Nairaland / General / 11 People You Should Definitely Not Invite To Your Wedding by nwatiti(m): 4:51pm On Jun 23, 2016 |
Your wedding day is your day! That day you
have been dreaming about. Finally, the Lord has
answered your prayers and you are going to be
married to your boo of life. You have planned
everything from the day you were conceived: the
type of suit or wedding gown you’ll wear, the
cake, the venue, the music, the big VIPs you’ll
invite to come and spray you dollars.
Guests at a wedding
A week before the wedding you are praying: “Oh
God, please don’t come and let one winch spoil
my day o!” Well, you won’t need that prayer if
you organise your guest list very well. Do not
leave anything to chance. Here is a great list
that will help you filter the unwanted elements
whom the devil might possess to come and ruin
your day.
1. Your ex
There is no “we are now friends” in this matter.
Anything could happen. They could get drunk
and start spilling the beans on how many
abortions you shared or how (face palm) they
still love you. You don’t need that drama. Nix
that goodwill.
2. Your babymama/papa
Your babies can come but not their mama or
papa. It’s not a two for one package. You don’t
need shady talk disguised as “I’m just joking
now” on how your boos wedding gown is too
revealing or how your man could not even afford
to hire a better bridal limousine. Nah! Say no to
bad bele!
3. Your friend that hates your spouse
Seriously, all naysayers and bad vibes givers
should just be barred at the gates of the
wedding venue. The evil eye alone that your bad
bele friend will be transmitting toward the high
table might just kill you too. And you don’t need
some idiot taking bets at your wedding on how
long your marriage will last.

pre-wedding photos, see what happened to
bride-to-be
4. Your ex-best friend that knows where all the
bodies are buried (your past)
This is the friend that has known you since
forever and the when it comes the time to make
a toast they start with: “I remember when John
and I used to go to Ynot every Friday and just
hang out with prostitutes.” Alcohol can be a good
thing for some but not for everybody. If you
don’t want this person shaming you just better
leave them off your guest list.
5. Your friend that has a crush on your boo
Allow her to spend that day in house jeje, crying
over her loss. You don’t need somebody doing
sexy dance with your husband on the dance
floor all in the name of celebrating you. She or
he might even poison you by mistake.
6. That osho-free friend that likes to chop but
will not give you gifts
Mba! Notice should be placed around the venue
even broadcasted on the news, barring this
person from even the street of the venue. They
will complain about the rice, they will complain
about the salad all the while stuffing their
handbags with all the food and drinks they can
carry. Meanwhile, when you later confront them
on how they didn’t even drop one gift despite
being the one person that enjoyed the wedding
the most -even more than you – they’ll ask you:
“Ehen, people used to give gifts. I didn’t know o! I
thought it was the other way around.”

money at parties, Nigerians react (video)
7. Your racist or tribalistic relative
“Yoruba people are this, Yoruba people are
that.” “See all the 419 omo nna spraying
money.” Nah, you don’t need to be hearing that.
You might also want to ban this people from
home after you are married unless you want
someone calling your kids “okoro” in the name
of joke.
8. Your uncle’s father’s brother’s aunty that
knew you before you were conceived
You know, that relatives you only see at burials
in the village? The ones that keep reminding you
of how their great grandfather is related to your
great grandmother’s mother’s sister’s
grandfather. The relationship is so far we are
not even related. Sorry, no invite for you. No one
needs your family history storytelling at my
wedding.
9. Your boss that refused to give you two weeks
off for honeymoon
“A wedding is just a day’s event,” he tells you.
“You go in, you get out. You can even come
back to work if it were during the week.” Slave-
driver, please stay away.

10. Your bitterly divorced friend
Nah, you don’t need that long regretful face
spoiling all your wedding pictures. Or someone
reminiscing about how their wedding day was
their happiest day until it wasn’t. Not today,
Satan.
11. Your landlord (especially if you still owe
rent)
Don’t even try yourself. Landlord, will just sit
down and be taking stock of everything at the
reception. “He can afford Dom Perignon on every
table but he cannot afford rent.” “Ah-ah, buffet!
okay now.” Be ready to get a rent increase in
the next two months. |
