Nairalanders see me see wahala. I wont comment now till tomorrow. Am a bit confused about the whole story. Na waaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooo

The word “wife”, seems to be losing its dictionary meaning. Divorce is on the increase while many husbands now substitute female robots for wives and for sexual satisfaction. This has been seen as an allegory of male chauvinism of the period, by representing marriage as a master-slave relationship. Science Reporter STANLEY CHIBUIHEM AMALAHA, takes a look at this ugly incidence
By mere looking, you will not believe that these beautiful ‘females’ you are looking at, are not real humans. It will take more than the oratorial prowess of Socrates, the famous Greek philosopher, to convince you that they are not human beings. The truth in the matter is that, those objects are not human beings, they are artificial women, otherwise known as robots.
When robots were first made, the importance of sex, was a minnor. However, as technology improves, female robots, were created. Ever since then, much importance have been paid to sex.

The primary aim of robots then was to carry out domestic, household, and industrial activities efficiently and perform difficult tasks which are lethal to human. For example, robots can dissect the human body perfectly without mistakes when programmed, unlike a medical doctor who quarreled with his wife at home before coming to dissect a patient, may be prone to mistakes because of psychological trauma. However, recent studies show that female robots are now used by men for sexual satisfaction instead of its industrial activities.
Beware! Artificial wives on the increase.
Artificial women have been a common trope in fiction and mythology since the writings of the ancient Greeks. This has continued with modern fiction, particularly in the genre of science fiction. In science fiction, female-appearing robots are often produced for use as domestic servants and sexual slaves, as seen in the film Westworld, Paul McAuley’s novel Fairyland (1995).
Female-appearing robots have also appeared in real-life, with female robot early constructions being crude. The first gynoid, was produced by Sex Objects Ltd, a British company, for use as a “sex-aid”. It was called simply “36C”, from her chest measurement, and had a 16-bit microprocessor and voice synthesiser that allowed primitive responses to speech and push button inputs. Later, other female robots produced include:
• Project Aiko which can speaks Japanese and English languages which sells for 13,000 euro.
• Actroid designed by Hiroshi Ishiguro to be “a perfect secretary who smiles and flutters her eyelids”.
Female-appearing robots have also generated. According to Dr Kingsley Abhulimen, Senior Lecturer Dept of Chemical Engineering University of Lagos, in 1983, a busty female robot named “Sweetheart” was removed from a display at Berkeley college USA after a petition was presented claiming it was insulting to women. The robot’s creator, Clayton Bailey, a professor of art at California State University, USA called this “censorship” and “next to book burning.
The term has been applied to a humanoid robot designed to look like a human female; it has been derived from the word android in response to its linguistically masculine lexical element andro which is perceived as implying a male-styled robot according to some cultural readings.
Gynoid has not gained popularity, however, with the term android being used almost universally to refer to robotic humanoids regardless of apparent gender. The term gynoid was used by Gwyneth Jones in her 1985 novel Divine Endurance to describe a robot slave character in a futuristic China, that is judged by her beauty. Since then, different types of artificial women have been on the increase with different names and applications. Today there are Actroid, sweetheart, project Aiko, Dead girls, Fembot, Gynoids, Sexy robots, machine human, Plastic woman, Sex object’s, Robotrix, Female robot, wifedom, Robotess, among others with Robotess, as the oldest gender-specific term, originating in 1924 from the same source as robot.
Gynoids may be “eroticized”, and some examples such as Aiko include sensitivity sensors in their breats and genitals to facilitate sexual response. The fetishization of gynoids in real life has been attributed to male desires for custom-made passive women, and has been compared to life-size sex dolls.
The reaction of people to robots that appeared female to different degrees has been studied. The reaction of people to such robots has been attributed in part to gender stereotypes. This research has been used to elucidate gender clues, clarifying which behaviors and aesthetics elicit a stronger, gender-induced response. Experts, however, have condemned human beings having sex with robots saying that sterotypes and societal attitudes should not be attered by technological process irrespective that technological bodies of gynoids depict sexism in an unnatural context. They also highlighted its negative impact.
The sexualized images of gynoids have also been interpreted as fetishisation of the female body, racial differences, and technology.
Many artificial women are produced yearly that recently a femininely shaped robot was clothed with human skin so that she is not known to be robot. Such female robots are designed according to patriarchal stereotypes of a perfect woman, being sexy, dumb and obedient, and reflects the emotional frustrations of their creators.
Modern gynoids are often unique products made to fit a partial man’s desire and the creators are often male “mad scientists”. Gynoids have been described as the ultimate geek fantasy: a metat and plastic woman of your own.
Abhulimen further highlighted that gynoids are inextricably linked to men’s lust. They are mainly designed as sex-objects, having no use beyond, pleasing men’s violent sexual desires. Their character has been described as “a literal sex bomb”. They are produced as toy for men with an “implicate fantasy of a fully compliant sex machine in US and other countries” says the Unilag distinguished don.
Sex with gynoids has been compared to necrophilia. Sexual interest in gynoids and fembots has been attributed to fetishisation of technology, and compared to Sadomasochism in that it reorganizes the social risk of sex. The depiction of female robots minimizes the threat felt by men from female sexuality and allow the “erasure of any social interference in the spectator’s erotic enjoyment of the image”. Gynoid fantasies are produced and collected by on-line communities centered around chat rooms and web-site galleries.

Does this signify the endtime? For a son to kill the woman that carried him in her womb for nine months for a mere $200 shows how callous and desperate some people could be for money. Maybe he will go scot free because of the system but i know mother nature cant allow him go free. E no go better for you mr car dealer.

BEFORE handing over to his successor, the outgoing Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Marvel Akpoyibo, carried out what could be termed as his last official assignment in the state yesterday.

He presented 46-year-old Adedeji Idowu, who allegedly paid a gang of robbers to kill his United States (U.S.)-based mother.

Currently in police custody are Idowu, his wife Adebimpe Nusira, and three others named for their alleged role in the murder of the victim, Alhaja Sakirat Idowu, 65.
Akpoyibo explained that a chain of events led to the eventual robbing, shooting and killing of the late Alhaja Idowu, which he said started on November 5, 2010, when Adedeji, a graduate of Texas Southern University, U.S., allegedly went to members of a gang, said to be led by one Olusoji, and asked them to rob his mother.

Incidentally, the late Alhaja Idowu was billed to return to Nigeria from U.S. in December, last year.

Akpoyibo said: “Apparently to demonstrate his seriousness, Adedeji once again went to the gang for the second time on December 20, 2010, reconfirming the arrival date and time of his mum. Our investigations revealed that Adedeji took his wife, Adebimpe, a graduate of English Language, Lagos State University (LASU) and mother of one, into confidence, concerning the planned robbery attack, but the wife did nothing to dissuade, prevent, or avert the crime.
“By the time Sakirat returned to the country on December 1, 2010, the stage was set for her execution. On the day of her arrival, Adedeji, whose car shop is located along International Airport Road, and thus familiar with the airport environs, drove to the airport in company of one Alfa, to pick Sakirat. She was picked up about 9.30p.m. and driven to her residence at18, Akiti Avenue, Okota, Isolo, Lagos.”

The Nigerian Compass gathered that as soon as the late Alhaja arrived home, Adedeji allegedly excused himself from the welcome party, signaling the gang members to strike.
“They struck as prearranged, robbing the old woman of laptops, assorted jewelry, phones and cash in U.S. denomination. She was shot in the chest and died instantly,” narrated Akpoyibo.

Investigation had shown that the attack was allegedly carried out by Olusoji, Irabor, Owolowo and Ambali.

The suspects were said to have arrived the victim’s residence in a BMW salon car, belonging to Ambali. They also escaped in the same car after killing the woman.
Akpoyibo continued: “Investigation has also shown that Adedeji and Adebimpe participated in the sharing of the proceeds of the robbery. Adedeji got two laptops, a Blackberry phone and cash of $200. Adebimpe got assorted jewelry, all belonging to the deceased.

“Most of these items had been sold to receivers. One of the laptop was sold to one Mujib at the Computer Village for undisclosed amount. The Blackberry phone was sold to another buyer at the Computer Village for N15, 000 and some of the jewelry sold to a street buyer in Yaba for N50, 000. The police have recovered one of the victim’s laptops and jewelry from Adedeji and Adebimpe.”

According to Akpoyibo, when a search was carried out on the home of Olusoji, two live cartridges and a huge collection of charms were found.

He said the police are, however, hunting for other gang members still at large, including the armourer, who allegedly shot and killed the business woman.

A word is enough for the wise.

As the zoning controversy continues to cause a deep crack in the North, the governor of Jigawa State and a strong supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has said that unless Northerners, who are against President Jonathan, see reason and allow him to continue in office, the corporate existence of Nigeria might be threatened.



He spoke on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Hausa service, monitored in Kaduna, on Saturday, even as Vice President Namadi Sambo, PDP governors and other PDP chieftains from the Northwest zone met in Kaduna to discuss current political developments that affect the zone.

According to Sule Lamido, those saying a Christian or Southerner should not become Nigeria’s president were uncivilized and had forgotten the past, noting that if that should be the case, Nigeria should split.

“The point is that they are using sentiments to destroy the North. What is politics all about? Following your opinion, but for someone to say one must abide by his opinion no matter how is wrong. People should be allowed to do what they want. If that is the case, we should divide the country so that we could have a section for Christians and another for Muslims,” he said.

He said though zoning was in the constitution of the PDP, the decision of the National Executive Council (NEC) of the party superceded any other consideration.

He said the issue of zoning started before the death of late President Yar’Adua, adding that PDP was the only party, out of about 60 others in the country that had the clause in its constitution, saying it did not concern “those in the ANPP, CPC or ANC. But because of the circumstances we found ourselves, it has become a general issue. Now they are denouncing PDP, but the fact is that they cannot change anything.”

Commenting on the allegation that delegates were forced to vote for Jonathan, he said those saying delegates were forced were “those who in the previous years, used force in their various parties during elections.“ Look at what happened in Kano ANPP, there was this boy called Ibrahim Little. For many years, he was the only major figure in the ANPP, but in the end, they rejected him. Look at how Abacha’s son joined a party within two months and seized everything. What they are doing is what they think everybody is doing.

“Jonathan is not the governor of Abia, he is not the governor of Borno or Kastina, it is, therefore, wrong for anybody to listen to the sermons of a gossiper. It is similarly wrong for someone from another party to come and be saying all sorts of things against PDP and me. They are saying the party is against Islam, that Lamido does not like Muslims, he has gone astray by following non believers, okay, let’s see,”he said.

Explaining why some states did not wholly vote for Jonathan, he said, “Some were afraid, others were frightened. But for us, we have been in it for over 30 years. We were frightened, we were made to be afraid, they said we don’t like Islam, that we are anti North, any person who says his fellow man does not like Islam, look at him and watch his relationship with others. They are ignorant by saying someone has deviated from his faith. We are still in the North and we see them. What is it that they have not said? Forget about such people. The electorate should go and vote for their choice, it is election period and people know the right people to elect.”

On demonstrations in some Northern states against the ruling party, he said that “any member of PDP, wherever he might be, is known. The party has followers everywhere, in all the local governments in Nigeria and everywhere.

He said those demonstrating against the party were not PDP members, adding that there were some lazy politicians in the zone who knew they had lost and were ready to use any strategy to destabilise the zone and discredit the party. ”We know their antecedents, they cannot be trusted. They are Muslims but they don’t know what the religion demands.

They are those making allegation that the North has been marginalized. They are the people causing problem, inducing youths and unemployed people to foment trouble. Poverty is unlimited here. These burnings, humiliations and abuses will not wipe out poverty in the North. They should choose to live in peace so that we can work for their development,” he declared.

Lamido also said those who defected from the party were not true members of the PDP.

“ I heard what Ribadu, Buhari and Shekarau were saying, that they would provide good leadership devoid of ethnic or religious sentiment. Those who did not win election in PDP are now alleging foul play, perhaps the other time they won nobody heard them say anything. To them, PDP was the best at that time,” Lamido added.

I learnt some of our women go to Dubai to hustle in pretence that they there to buy things to sell in Nigeria. They go without money and come back with a lot of goods. Does prostitution thrive there?

DUBAI // A man and a woman accused of luring two Nigerian women to Dubai with promises of work, then forcing them into prostitution, were sentenced to five years in prison each, a Dubai court ruled this morning.

Both the female defendant, JA, 32, from Ghana, and her Nigerian co-defendant, AG, 32, have held without bail. JA is accused of approaching the two victims in Nigeria.

They told police she offered work in Dubai as waitresses in an African-themed restaurant. They said JA organised their passports and bought them clothes and makeup before flying them to Dubai.

When they arrived, the victims said, their passports were taken and they were forced into prostitution. They said they were sent to Dubai and Abu Dhabi nightclubs to solicit customers to pay JA US$20,000 (Dh73,000) in exchange for their freedom.

Records show one of the women also accused AG of raping her. Both defendants had denied the charges when they first appeared in Dubai's Criminal Court of First Instance in August 2010.

AG was sentenced to an additional three years in prison for rape.

Both will be deported after serving their terms.

I found it rather astonishing, i ve not seen anywhere in Nigeria that NURTW (Agbero) is reverred like in Sothwest Nigeria and Ibadan in particular. Is their own Agbero differrent from those of the South-South, South East, North Central, etc. I still remember when we were in the University, student cultists are recruited as body guards to the Agbero aspiring to be a state chairman. Inshort if the these student cultists sneeze, the Agberos catch cold.

The author is not current in the politics of PDP, QED.

Igbos have suffered in the hands of the northerners more than any tribe in the country, one thing everybody should always have in mind is that no tribe has monopoly over violence. There are a lot of Northerners in the eastern part of the country on which a reprisal could be aimed at but the Igbo are peace loving people but i know if they are pushed to the wall as it happened in 1999/2000, the rythm of the game might change but we dont pray for that. We want one Nigeria.

NORTHERN Igbo traditional leaders have warned that their people are not afraid of war over the current happenings in Jos, Plateau State. They have, therefore, called on their kith and kin in the north to be prepared for any eventuality.
They stated this during a courtesy visit to the State Governor Jonah Jang ,who quickly appealed for calm and restraints as the Federal Government was doing everything possible to arrest all those who had been disturbing the peace in the state and other parts of the country.

The Eze Igbo One of Abuja and the Chairman of Igbo leaders in the 19 states and Abuja, Chief Ibe Nwosu, said he was making this position known because the Igbo had never caused any problem any where they are and wondered why they had consistently been targets of attacks?

He said: "We are not trouble makers, but any where trouble finds us, we must defend ourselves."

Chief Nwosu then advised the governor to always be in contact with the Igbo leadership in the state to find out their worries, saying that would assuage their hearts because "it?s a known fact that "Igbo are peaceful and don?t believe in war but business."

"We are not happy with what is going on in Plateau. All the 19 states and Abuja asked me to come here and say sorry on what is going on. We have lost 40 or there about and are Igbos," he said.

Responding, Governor Jang said: "Something serious is being done and people behind all this will not find a hiding place in this country."

According to him, "people must be prepared to defend themselves, it is only by this that attackers will be afraid and these nonsense will stop." He pleaded with Nigerians to be patient because no government would sit and fold its arms and watch lawlessness being perpetrated.

He said the Igbo nation had suffered more than any other region in this country, but regertted that it is not the right of anyone to take the live of another, "but the hoodlums are delibartaely trying to distabilize this country."

Nobody knows about Buhari in the south east

Atiku does not deserve to be our president, from his utterances lately, he has lost it. If he thinks he can rule Nigeria without the south, he should ve asked the late MKO what he said about the Igbos during the 1992/93 presidential elections. He should remember there are alot of ABN today. He should thread softly instead of setting the country on fire.

Castration will give the final control.

Clash of the sexes. lol

Hi NLanders, i ve been married to my wife for about six years now but my problem with her lies on my cousin we ve lived with for about three years. This girl (my Cousin) was in elementary 5 when she came but had to loose one year when she was registered in her new school but right now she is in jss2. My wife does not want to live her again cos she said she does not respect her and her siblings enough, i ve noticed that this complains intensifies whenever any of her sisters comes around. Of late, it has always been one fault or the other on the girl which i know are allegations to send the girl packing. She has gotten to the extent of blackmailing me of having intimacy.u.a.l relationships with my cousin because i do not beat her when she wants me to or scold her when she tells me to do that. How do i handle this cos if this girl goes, the home chores will be much for us to bear and will not send the right signal to my family cos this is the second person she is sending home in our six years marriage. I had advised her to get any of her relatives to stay with us instead of employing a househelp but she could not and that is how my cousin came to live with us. Now the girl will be going and the pressure will be on me cos i know my wife cannot cope with the chores at home alone and am a very busy person. I need your advices please

This man is on sucide mission, somebody help! He does one comprehend the idea of being the promoter and the boxer at the same time. Gadaffi should give him some money cos he is really broke, he needs some financial assistance.

AFTER making fruitless effort to see that his home country, Nigeria host the Guinness Book of World Record fight with American Bobby Gunn, World Boxing Federation, WBF Cruiserweight champion, Bashiru Lawrence Ali a.k.a Bash Ali has decided to take the fight to Libya.

Bash Ali, who is currently in Tripoli to have audience withPresident of Libya, Maummar Ghadaffi, said that the frustration he went through getting the Nigerian government picking up the bills of the fight, forced him to seek solace with Ghadaffi, whom he said has opened door for discussions on how the fight venue would be changed to Libya.

In a letter dated 2 November, Bash Ali wrote to the Libyan leader that "the Guinness Book of World Record fight has met all kinds of obstacles created by some top officials of the federal government in Nigeria who are bent on not seeing the bout coming to reality.

"George Foreman set the world record as the oldest boxer to win a world title in his country, America. Joe Bugner broke the world record in his country in Australia.

Help me make my dream a reality to rewrite boxing history as the oldest boxer to win a world boxing title in my continent Africa," he told Ghadaffi in the letter.

Bash Ali listed the gains of staging the fight in Libya to include the establishment of nine sports academies as promised by International

Boxing Union, IBU, unprecedented level of publicity because the historic fight will be watched live on Pay Per View television in 132 countries by over 10million people. This according to the Nigerian boxers would yield revenue of $500m.

"The 182 country members of IBU and the WBF would be in Libya to watchthe fight and they include not limited to former and current world boxingchampions like George Foreman, Mohammed Ali, Smoking Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson,Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield, Ken Norton, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Joe Bugner," he said.

Bash Ali concluded that he is soliciting the support of Ghadaffi to ensure that the fight is not taken out of Africa to America as the IBU and WBF are under intense pressure to get another venue for the fight if he fails to come up with a suitable venue before the year runs out.

I do not trust this woman, she looks every inch a fair weather politician. Remember according to Sen Kanti Bello, She used to cook for Yar adua before the man died. She started cooking for GEJ but left the food undone before moving to cook for Peter Obi, she must be an excellent cook. My advice to the professor, "In Politics, consistency matters alot, political prostitution is a character of a bad politican. Look at the likes of Zik, Aminu Kano, Awo etc. Even when NPP lost Anambra to NPN in 1983, in a very controversial circumstance, he remained in NPP, so with Aminu Kano with PRP". A word is enough for the wise.

I dont discuss my afairs online. I rather discuss it with my spouse

Which party does this Audu Ogbe belong to? Last time he was among the nine "wise" men that nominated Atiku Abubakar as the consensus canidate of northern PDP, now he is the campaign Co-ordinator of Ribadu of ACN. These politicians are not to be trusted.

THE former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, yesterday formally declared his intention to contest the 2011 presidential election on the platform of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN).

Declaring his ambition, Ribadu cited misgovernance as the main reason the country’s growth had remained stunted.

His views were corroborated by a former National Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Audu Ogbeh, who is now a chieftain of the ACN.

Also, presidential hopeful, Dele Momodu, has resigned his membership of the Labour Party (LP). Until Tuesday, he was the most prominent presidential aspirant on the platform of the Labour Party (LP).

In a letter addressed to the national chairman of LP, intimating the party of his resignation, Momodu said it was against the backdrop that the party has no plans to field a presidential candidate for the 2011 presidential election.

The Ovation Magazine publisher also based his decision on a recent media report (not in The Guardian), which claimed Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State was under pressure to dump LP for the ACN and also a media report in which the national chairman of LP, Dan Nwanyanwu, also foreclosed the possibility of the LP fielding a presidential candidate in the next election.
Ogbeh is the Director-General of the Ribadu for President Campaign Organisation.

Addressing his supporters at the Abuja International Conference Centre (ICC), Ribadu said that unless a leadership that was focused, selfless and disciplined was installed in the country, Nigeria will continue to be in search of good leadership.

According to him, Nigeria has another opportunity to lead in the quest for a meaningful change in terms of political and socio-economic development, adding that with the cooperation of all Nigerians, the stage will have been set for a dynamic society that will be the vanguard of efficient and effective utilisation of the huge endowment of natural and human resources of the African continent for rapid economic growth and development.

In an address entitled “A New Nigeria is possible,” Ribadu who was flanked by Ogbeh and his spouse, Zahra, said the first port of call in his vision of re-structuring the economy for development was the simple challenge of returning humility to government, adding that last year alone, Nigerian earned about N86 billion in revenue, the bulk of which went into imports that included some of the most exotic vanities that a developing nation like Nigeria should encourage.

“This is not a path to progress, because already we are running a scandalously shameful budget ratio where overhead is at a staggering 75 per cent of annual spending and where the 25 per cent balance is disappearing through the notorious corruption chute. Therefore the pervasive poverty in Nigeria can be attributed to the inefficient utilisation of our abundant resources, characterised by poor leadership, gross mismanagement, nepotism and most insidiously, corruption.

“Poverty reduction, therefore, will be an underlying factor in addressing the challenges of development in the 21st century. The structures and institutions that underpin the economic development would be thoroughly overhauled starting with the development of human capital, knowledgeable, healthy, creative and hard working people that will be the pivot for the new Nigeria.”

He identified quality and efficient health care system, functional education, viable economic policies as well as the creation of jobs for the people, especially the teeming youths as some of the agenda that would be pursued by his administration if voted into power. He added: “We shall budget within our means, reduce poverty, reduce over-spending and plan for a steady and attainable economic rate of 7 to 8 per cent for the next five years and 8 to 10 per cent per year for the years following that.”

He added, “we will invest in infrastructure, in health and education, and in creating an enabling environment for thriving investment in all key sources of growth and development, namely agriculture, the extractive industry, manufacturing, financial services, information and communication technology (ICT), arts and culture as well as housing construction. We believe that these sectors hold the true key to genuine economic recovery.

“To give a just instance, while the current housing crisis requires investment in 16 million houses, a smart annual investment in one million houses could yield 30 million jobs. But these measures cannot be attained without adequate supply of electricity.”

He said Nigeria has a private sector that is capable of great enterprise, adding that there is need to streamline the process that will tend to escalate the cost of doing business in the country.

“We will also minimise the time required to start a small business.
“In doing all these, we must be mindful of the fact that that governance is about people, it is about their wellbeing. Our conduct as both public officers and captains of industry must be such that will support the wellbeing of our people.

“To this end, we must fight every form of corruption and ensure that our struggle enjoys the full benefits of our natural resources. Our processes and transactions must be transparent in order to inspire confidence and we will empower the anti-corruption agencies to effectively discharge their mandates.”

Kai! wetin dey happen to this governor? The other day it was a shouting match between him and Nwodo, today his christmas gift was rejected. I hope this guy will not be denied the ticket. I want him to continue cos he is doing a great job in Enugu. Up Sullivan!

THERE was drama in Enugu yesterday as the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Enugu State, Mr. Josiah Uwazuruonye, turned down the Christmas gifts sent to the premises of the Enugu office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from the Government House, Enugu, saying he did not need them to survive.

He said since the gifts were coming from an interested party (Governor Sullivan Chime) in the elections in which INEC will play the role of an umpire, it would amount to compromising the integrity and credibility of the commission to accept such gifts now that the new INEC has vowed to live up to expectations of Nigerians in the next year’s elections.


We gathered that the gift items included four cows, about fifty bags of rice, cartons of tin tomatoes and wine and that they were delivered to the INEC office on Tuesday evening by protocol officers.

Sources hinted yesterday that Uwazuruonye was not comfortable with the gesture when he was informed about it and promptly ordered the government officials to take the items away from the premises of the commission.

When the news of the mild drama made the round yesterday and newsmen made inquiries, the Resident Electoral Commissioner had said nothing happened but later spoke , saying he did not need such gifts to do his work, especially when it was coming from an interested party in the crucial elections next year.

He further clarified that it is an offence for anyone working in the commission to receive such gesture when elections are drawing near.

His words: “I rejected the gifts because I don’t require cow or any other gift from the governor or any person to do my work. No matter how you look at it, whether it is offered in the spirit of the season or not, people will say you have been compromised, that you have been bribed.

“Beyond that, however, I want to say that it is very wrong of the government to do so, especially knowing the situation of our politics, which the present INEC is trying to salvage.

“If it were in the military regime when you receive such a thing, you will be said to have entered a treaty but now, such gifts will earn you disqualification,” he stated.

Let him go and reorganise his political empire cos its in disarray.

I hope Atiku is serious cos after such a heavy statement and you dont match it with action, you are doomed. The seriousness can be guaged at, by examining the extent his children will be involved in the violent change, i will prefer they spearhead it, not hiring some hungry Nigerians to fight for them and at the end of it all, you will them coming in from Dubai, UK, USA etc to lord over us, if it is well scrutinized, you will notice that some of their children have never voted before, even when they are qualified to. When the coast is clear, you will see them in wonders on wheel, heavy convoys, flying around in private jets and copters even yatch. Inshort their statement is tantamount to treasonable felony. I dey laugh oooo
