The scarcity of petrol worsened on Friday in Ibadan, the Oyo capital, with long queues dotting the few filling stations where the product is available.
A visit round the metropolis, showed that the scarcity had also led to a hike in the price of the product.
The price ranged from N120 to N150 per litre in some filling stations while it was being sold for about N500 per litre in some black market outlets.
The scarcity of petrol also led to a hike in transport fares in many motor parks in Ibadan.
The fare to Lagos by taxi, which used to be N1,250 is now between N1,500 and N2,000.
Similarly, the same trip by bus which used to cost N800 is now between 1,300 and N1, 500 depending on final destination in Lagos..
But Mr Olakunle Ogunlana, the Operation Controller, Department of Petroleum Resources(DPR) in Ibadan, said the current scarcity was a temporary development.
He said that the Minister of Finance, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had given an assurance that the issue would be resolved soon.
There had been scarcity of petrol at fuel stations across the country due to protest by oil marketers over non payments of their claims.

Last week's testimony
One Testimonial about the product says; “Coming up to exam time I knew my eating habits would not be fantastic so bought these as an aide, in hopes of decreasing my usual exam food cravings. The first week or so I had mad crazy cravings, eating everything but saw no weight gain and persisted. These urges have since resided and although I haven't seen a decrease in my usual appetite I have lost 3lbs in a month and ate absolutely lots of fast food. Just the other day I had two burgers for tea and have since lost another half a pound. I don't even take the tablets everyday.
Of course it must be said that this weight loss could be down to stress, but considering I gained a stone over my last two exam periods I'm not buying that. In my opinion this is a great product. I have recommended to my mother and will make her leave a review.”

All Progressives Congress, APC lawmakers in Ekiti state have given Governor Ayo Fayose conditions which must be met before they can stop their attacks on him.

The 19 APC on Thursday shunned the peace meeting convened by Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) to reconcile them with Governor Fayose but issued a statement afterwards.

According to PUNCH, listing their truce terms, they demanded immediate removal of all illegal structures that aid the activities of thugs and miscreants in and around the Ekiti State House of Assembly premises; restoration of the constitutionally recognised Speaker (Omirin), and other principal officers illegally impeached back to their lawful positions; and the G19 should be allowed unfettered access to and from the Ekiti State House of Assembly to perform their legislative duties until the expiration of their tenure on June 6, 2015.

The lawmakers added that Governor Fayose is to meet the terms before May 4,2015.

Highlights: -Rescued Women Undergoing Thorough Profiling -True Identities of some Freed Victims Yet to be ascertained -Terrorist Field Commanders Killed -Notorious Training Camps Destroyed -Nigerians being held captives are being freed by Gallant Troops -hope for the recovery of more hostage of the terrorists
UPDATE on Military Operation in Sambisa: -A text of Press Briefing by Director Defence Information, Major General Chris Olukolade at Defence Headquarters, Abuja on April 30, 2015 Gentlemen of the press, As you already know, troops have commenced operations deep into the Sambisa forest after sustained aerial bombardments by the Nigerian Air Force. The main objective as you know is to decimate and clear the terrorists from the forest which is their last bastion. The well coordinated operation is already yielding results as troops in the last few days rescued 200 girls and 93, women and an additional number of hostages. Over 13 terrorists camps including the notorious Tokumbere camp in Sambisa forest have been captured. Other camps overran and destroyed by troops include, Wulari Bukar, Gangala, Anguwar Bakwai, Jigide, Kotorima, Lagura Bello, Lagina Fulani, among others.
Several field commanders and foot soldiers of the terrorist group have lost their lives, some armoured personnel carriers, Bufallo vehicles mounted with Anti-Aircraft guns, a truck and several Hilux vehicles were destroyed by troops. Also recovered from the fleeing terrorists are a number of Anti-Aircraft guns, General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMG), Rocket Propelled Grenades (RPG) and several AK 47 rifles. Unfortunately though, we lost one soldier in the course of the operation while 10 others have so far been wounded. The true identity of some of the rescued women and girls are yet to be ascertained. At the moment, what is upper most and of priority is their movement to a conducive place where they are now undergoing thorough profiling to verify their true identity, where they come from, how they found themselves in the forest, etc. Additional number of persons are still being recovered from the forest. Until such comprehensive profiling is done, nobody can confirm whether they are among the Chibok girls or not. Whoever they may be, the important thing is that Nigerians held captive under very severe and inhuman condition have been freed by our gallant troops. The joy and sense of hope being expressed by many Nigerians on hearing about the rescue operation is therefore understandable. We would like to reassure them that the momentum of this operation will be sustained until that sambisa forest is comprehensively cleaned out and all Nigerians held captive within the bowels of the forest are rescued. There is great hope for the recovery of more hostage of the terrorists. Already, the dislodged and disorganized terrorists are in flight on different directions and running helter-skelter in the expansive forest. There is no longer any respite or sanctuary for them; they will be pursued and tracked down not minding the daunting challenges in the mission including hundreds of land mines and difficult terrain of the Sambisa forest. It should be noted however that the essence of this operation is not to kill everybody in sight. We encourage any of the combatants who is desirous to surrender to come out, as the forest will no more be tenable as a haven for their activities. In the same vein, innocent civilians among those in flight are also encouraged to report themselves to the troops. We will continue to treat civilians in the most professional and humane way. We thank all Nigerians for their continued prayers and support and assure them that Never Again shall forces of darkness reign supreme in our country.
Thank you.

Col. Robert Akonobi (rtd), former Military governor of old Anambra State, has begged Igbo parents to reduce the bride price of their daughters so that "our young boys can marry them."

Akonobi said, "To me, this topic (bride price) has been dealt with in the past by Ndigbo, who came out with a reduced bride price, to enable our young boys marry our young girls,”
He also cautioned that men should study their proposed wives closely and longer before marrying them because "once you marry, no one else can put it asunder."
He spoke at Nnewi, Anambra State during the traditional wedding ceremony of the daughter of a business mogul, Chief Louis Onwugbenu, Onyinye and her husband, Bosah Chukwuogo, weekend.
Nnewi was agog with class as several dignitaries trooped to the Chief Onwugbenu residence for the memorable event. The dignitaries who were from both the military, political and manufacturing circles, including Col Akonobi, Hon. Clement Nwankwu, former member of the House of Representatives; Chairmen and Chief Executive Officers of Gabros International Limited and Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Limited, Chief Gabriel and Innocent Chukwuma respectively, among others.

The issue of high bride price was discussed extensively on the occasion. Hon. Nwankwu, in his own speech, prayed that Chief Onwugbenu and his wife would live long to enjoy the fruits of their children, especially those who married from outside their areas.
Also, speaking, Mrs. Onwugbenu expressed gratitude that her daughter’s hand was given out in marriage and prayed that her in-laws who came all the way from Awka to marry her daughter, would go back home safely. Father of the bride, Onwugbenu, in his own speech, said he had already blessed his daughter and her husband to go and make a good home.
On the bride price controversy in Igbo land, Onwugbenu declared: “We do not charge money as bride price for someone to marry my daughter. To me, what is important is that my daughter should live in peace with her husband. Let her husband’s family members accept her as part and parcel of their family.”

Kanye West has denied any involvement with the Illuminati.
In a recent essay the rapper and fashion designer wrote for 'Paper Magazine,' Kanye says he is very passionate about fashion design and considers himself an 'innovator' but has nothing to do with Illuminati.
Kanye wrote: "I heard a comment -- a joke -- about the Tidal press conference being an Illuminati moment... If there was actually an Illuminati, it would be more like the energy companies. Not celebrities that gave their life to music and who are pinpointed as decoys for people who really run the world."
While it's unclear what Kanye meant by his comparison to energy companies, the "FourFiveSeconds" singer continued on, defending himself and his fellow artists against claims that they are part of the rumored clandestine society that allegedly runs the world in secret.

"I'm tired of people pinpointing musicians as the Illuminati. That's ridiculous. We don't run anything; we're celebrities. We're the face of brands. We have to compromise what we say in lyrics so we don't lose money on a contract," Kanye explained, rather candidly.
The 37-year-old used up 139 out of his 2,600 words to trash out the issue of his involvement with the secret society in his write-up before switching to other stuff like his fashion brand,Madonna's fall at the BRIT Awards 2015 and him being an innovator in music business.

There is tension in the opposition All Progressives Congress as a Federal High Court in Abuja, presided over by Justice Abdu Kafarati, has given an order for accelerated hearing in a suit brought by a non-governmental organisation, Global Center for Conscious Living Against Corruption, asking for an order of mandamus to compel the Inspector General of Police to investigate allegations of forgery and perjury against the party’s presidential candidate, Gen Muhammadu Buhari.
In the suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/172/2015, filed by Professor Andrew Chukwuemerie, SAN, the plaintiffs are seeking the order of the court to order police investigation into the “alleged acquisition and possession of the West African School Certificate by Gen. Muhammad Buhari at Provincial Secondary School, Katsina in view of non-production of the said School Certificate of certified true copy thereof”.
[img]http://cdn2.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/412x250xBuhari-waec.jpg.pagespeed.ic.uwRFykOtT2.webp[/img]
The court originating summons, supported by a 31-paragraph affidavit, sworn to by Joy Odoh, averred that the Inspector-General of Police has an obligation under the Nigerian Constitution to investigate allegations of forgery and lying on oath made against the APC presidential candidate and that the police had refused to do so despite repeated demands.
One of the exhibits attached to the originating summons by the plaintiff is a copy of a letter written by the Test Department of the National Office of the West African Examinations Council in Ghana which states that Buhari’s name and records were not in its examinations archive thus suggesting that he was never a candidate for the examination set by the body.

The plaintiffs contended that Buhari lied on oath and ought to be tried for perjury when he declared in an affidavit submitted to the Independent Electoral Commission that his Secondary School Certificate was with the Military Board, a claim denied by the Board.
The group said the allegations of forgery and perjury were too weighty to be ignored by the police “which has a constitutional duty to investigate all allegations bordering on crime in the interest of justice and that all efforts made to make the police perform its duties have proved futile”.
Meanwhile, subsequent upon an application by the plaintiffs counsel, the court gave an order for accelerated hearing and directed the Inspector-General of Police to enter his defence within seven days.
The plaintiffs are also asking the court to determine whether by virtue of the provisions of the 1999 Constitution and the Police Act, the Inspector General of Police is not duty bound to investigate the allegations especially when the APC candidate has not submitted either an original copy or a certified true copy of his secondary school certificate to INEC as required by law.

Tinubu had earlier demanded N20 billion in damages and threatened to sue the network for airing a documentary which he described as defamatory to his person.

The management of the African Independent Television (AIT) has demanded the sum of N100bn damages from the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu had earlier demanded N20 billion in damages and threatened to sue the network for airing a documentary which he described as defamatory to his person.
Daar Communications Plc, AIT’s parent company, has however rejected Tinubu’s claim and filed a counter-claim of its own.
In a letter from the company’s lawyers, Mike Ozekhome Chambers, Tinubu’s demands were described as laughable.

The lawyers stated that AIT, in transmitting the documentary, was only carrying out its constitutional responsibility to uphold the fundamental objectives of the constitution.
A statement from the company reads:
“DAAR communications PLC is therefore demanding a complete withdrawal of the letter under reference, which must be given wide publicity as that accorded the letter from the chambers of Tunji Abayomi.”
“The media company demands an apology to be published in at least four leading national newspapers and four television stations, which must include NTA, Channels and AIT.”
“The sum of one hundred billion Naira representing aggravated, punitive and exemplary damages for the irreparable injury inflicted on AIT is also being demanded.”
Tinubu’s lawyers claimed that their client’s reputation had been damaged by the documentary despite the fact that he was not contesting for any political office.

An eye witness insists that the cut on the actor's head was very deep: "A swath of his skin was missing. There was blood dripping down his face."

Hollywood actor Harrison Ford survived a plane crash yesterday, March 5 when he made an emergency landing on a golf course in California.
An eye witness, who claimed to had been the first to see the crash narrates her story.
"I heard the engine sputter ... and watched the plane do a nose dive straight on the 8th hole tee box. I was one of the first people to run from the hole toward the plane. 4 to 5 men pulled the pilot out of the plane," she told TMZ.

"They got him away from the plane. They were concerned it would catch on fire. Two doctors were there – and they had a first aid box with them. He was conscious, talking a little. There was a HUGE cut on his head."
According to the site, the eye witness insists that the cut on the actor's head was very deep: "A swath of his skin was missing. There was blood dripping down his face."
However, Ford's son, Ben Ford tweeted: "At the hospital. Dad is ok. Battered, but ok! He is every bit the man you would think he is. He is an incredibly strong man."

Ford was piloting what appears to be a vintage 2-seater fighter plane when something went wrong and he crashed into Penmar golf course in Venice, CA. Remarkably, it appears Ford swerved off course from the runway in order to avoid crashing into homes.

The top music star on Smart Money with Arese, a personal finance platform on Instagram took time out to share his personal finance tips and gives an insight to other businesses he is into. “The wealthiest people in urban music aren’t there because they have the hottest singles out. The Dr Dres, Puff Daddys and Jayzes are not super rich mainly because of their hits.

They only used music as a platform to do other things. Those are the people I study. At the moment, I am into advertising, events production, marketing consulting, promotions and getting more into fashion and real estate. Business interests behind the scene that no one knows about. Diversifying my income is key. My long term well-being cannot be dependent on the last hit song I put out” he declares.

This disclosure was made by the Medical Director of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital (FNH),Yaba, Lagos, Rahman Lawal.

21 million Nigerians are currently living with psychiatric disorders, according to an expert.
This disclosure was made by the Medical Director of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital (FNH),Yaba, Lagos, Rahman Lawal.
Dr. Lawal also spoke, in an interview with ThisDay, on the misconceptions surrounding mental illnesses in Nigeria and the incessant strikes by medical professionals in the country.
Excerpts below:
- Inadequacies of Neuropsychiatric hospitals in the country
On the federal government's part, I will say they have done a lot. We were previously having three neuropsychiatric hospitals in Nigeria, but today we have eight. I think going by our population, it's now up to the state governments to set up neuropsychiatric hospitals in their various states. I know some of these states have, but they are very few. If every state set up neuropsychiatric hospitals then the burden of patients not able to access treatment promptly will reduce drastically.
For the state governments that can't establish any, they can have a neuropsychiatric department in their various general hospitals or health centres and then provide specialists to manage the department. Because there is no way the few psychiatric hospitals we have in the country can cater for the entire population. That is why we must bring treatment closer to the people. The number of qualified psychiatrists every year is increasing, so we should take advantage of that and increase psychiatric facilities all over the country. It's not that we have enough doctors, but let's maximise the ones we have to capacity by putting more facilities in place.
With the population of persons in Nigeria who needs psychiatric attention, it is worrisome that we have only few neuropsychiatric hospitals and trained psychiatrists in the country making it difficult to meet the medical needs of the people.

It is cost effective, if specialist hospitals like ours are located in every area of the country. Most times we admit people here who come from the eastern and northern parts of Nigeria. The distance itself is enough to discourage any patient. Even though we don't have enough psychiatric hospitals, but we have general hospitals all over. I would recommend that each general hospital establish a neuropsychiatric unit so that psychiatric treatment will be closer to the people than the current status.

- On subsidizing neuropsychiatric treatment in the country
Infrastructure and finance are also major challenges of every psychiatric hospital in the country. Financial challenge is the biggest issue of any specialist hospital.
To have psychiatric illness in our country is to carry a stigma. Such a person will likely not have enough to maintain himself in terms of treatment, because majority of these patients are unemployed, or some may have lost their jobs, because of the ailment, some may have been deserted by loved ones. Even the ones employed may have low earning power. So, like in any other parts of the world, Nigeria has also subsidized treatment for psychiatric patients so that the poor can as well benefit from quality treatment.
Our patients are being fed here free-of-charge while they are also given bed space free-of -charge. So what they are only payingfor is just the actual treatment. We have really subsidised treatment. In as much as people still want more subsidy such that treatment won't be much of a problem to especially the poor members of the society, I will say government has reduced cost of treatment such that patients don't pay as high as they used to.
I hope you know the money paid for treatment in this hospital is not even enough to run the administrative activities of the hospital. So government is not banking on that to run the hospital. We have over 300 staff here and their salaries are not coming from the money generated through treatment. Government is paying salaries and putting up infrastructures and other facilities itself, so that we will be able to offer quality service to the public. That is also subsidy. I wonder how much patients can pay that will take care of the salaries of 300 staff in this hospital.
It is not when we tell patients to pay N10,000 instead of N50,000 that we'll be said to have subsidised treatment. All other things we have done is even more subsidy.
Today, we have over 500 bed space in the hospital and no patient is asked to pay for space or even feeding. This is because that area has been subsidised by 100 per cent. So, government is doing its best.
Even on several occasions we end up paying medical bills for the patients that have over stayed and nobody is forth coming to pay their expenses or discharge them.

- On number of psychiatric personnel in the country
Though the numbers of professional psychiatrists we have now have increased compared to before, the country still needs more personnel. I am advising that more doctors specialise in psychiatry. Let it not be that we don't have enough personnel to man neuropsychiatric hospitals or neuropsychiatric units of general hospitals, when eventually we have more psychiatric centres in the country.
According to statistics, about 12.5 per cent of Nigerians have one form of psychiatric disorder or another, which is about 21.2 million Nigerians. This is why we need more hands; more psychiatrists, more health workers and more health facilities, so that we will be able to cope with treatment and management of psychiatric issues in Nigeria.

- On brain drain in the profession
One of the major challenges we are having is that a lot of our trained psychiatrists are practising outside the country. If we have a lot of them in the country, we wouldn't say our personnel are not enough. They are out in search for greener pasture in countries where they are paid more. In as much as government is doing enough, I will advise that the profession should be made more attractive in terms of renumeration so that we won't continuouslyhave issues of brain drain. At present, we only have about 150 practicing psychiatrists in the country which is grossly inadequate.

- Misconceptions and myths around psychiatric illness
There are lots of myths and misconceptions surrounding psychiatric illness in Africa, especially in Nigeria. There are people who refuse to visit the hospital or bring their sick ones for treatment, because they believe psychiatric illness is a spiritual issue. Hence, they would prefer to take such patients to spiritual healing homes or faith organisations so as to get cure through spiritual means. Majority only take neuropsychiatric hospitals as their last resort. And you know when cases are not presented on time, they are often more difficult to treat.
This is one of the reasons people don't present their cases to the hospital, thereby preventing such persons from getting proper medical attention. So, what I do is that when I come across such persons, I tell them to bring their sick loved ones to the hospital whilst educating them that there are drugs for the treatment of the illnesses.
People should understand that psychiatric illness is also like other illnesses which require medical attention. And now we have good drugs just like the ones in developed countries.

- On incessant strike action by health professionals
Workers in the health sector have no reason going on strike, because of the importance of the sector. Imagine the police or military saying that unless the government gives them what they want they won't go to work. It is the same for workers in charge of electricity in the country. There are some services that must not go on strike and this is the group the medical sector belongs. Continuous strike will destroy the sector.
If health professionals are on strike and someone has a road traffic accident and has a broken leg, it therefore means no hospital will attend to that person and this will encourage them to patronize traditional homes or faith healers who are unprofessional in administering these treatments.
To avoid these continuous strike actions and for the health sector to move forward, there should be a working relationship between every professional in the hospital ranging from doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health workers.
The disharmony among health professionals didn't just start today. The issue has been there for a long time and that is why a radical and comprehensive solution needs to be found.

Campbell stated this in a report titled ‘Nigeria’s 2015 Presidential Election: Contingency Planning Memorandum Update,’ which was published and released by the US Council on Foreign Relations.

A former US Ambassador to Nigeria, John Campbell, has warned that Nigeria is likely to experience large scale violence as a result of the upcoming general elections.
Campbell stated this in a report titled ‘Nigeria’s 2015 Presidential Election: Contingency Planning Memorandum Update,’ which was published and released by the US Council on Foreign Relations.
Campbell also predicts that incumbent, President Goodluck Jonathan is likely to beat strongest opponent, Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the polls.

“The upcoming elections are a rematch of the 2011 elections between the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan (a southern Christian) and Muhammadu Buhari (a northern Muslim and a former military chief). Tension between Washington and Abuja is higher than in 2011, largely over how to respond to the radical Islamist insurgent group, Boko Haram, which is steadily gaining strength in northeast Nigeria,” the report read.
“The APC is stronger than its predecessors (Action Congress of Nigeria and Congress for Progressives Change) and reflects a splintering of the political classes. The government’s inability to defeat Boko Haram, the economic hardships brought on by falling oil prices, and a growing public perception that the Jonathan administration is weak have fueled support for the All Progressives Congress. Though the APC’s voter base is in the North, it enjoys support all over the country, unlike the opposition in 2011,” it continues.
Campbell however notes that Jonathan is at an advantage due to the fact that he is “is at the centre of extensive patronage networks; he has access to the government’s oil revenue; and he and his party largely control the election machinery and ballot-counting infrastructure.”
“It is uncertain whether any provisions will be made for voters in the three northern states placed under a state of emergency because of Boko Haram, as well as the estimated one million people displaced by the insurgency. These displaced voters would likely support Buhari and the APC; their exclusion would benefit Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Thus despite the strength of the opposition, Jonathan remains the likely—but not certain—winner,” Campbell stated.
The former Ambassador also warned that the elections could “precipitate violence that could destabilize Nigeria.”
Campbell was ambassador of Nigerian from 2004 to 2007 and in 2010 authored a book about the country titled "Nigeria: Dancing on the Brink".

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Suleiman Abba, has warned personnel allegedly threatening to embark on strike over unpaid arrears of promotion of dire consequences of breaching extant rules and regulations.
This is contained in a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Emmanuel Ojukwu, on Thursday in Abuja.
Abba said that he was miffed that the officers had threatened to recourse to “unapproved channels to air their perceived grievances’’.
The I-G was reacting to a publication captioned, “Policemen Threaten Strike over unpaid salaries”.
He said that the leadership of the force was mindful of its responsibility to the welfare of the workforce, part of which was recognition of hard work and promotion.
“As expected, every promotion attracts some financial benefits, and which have been deeply considered in the course of processing and approving the promotions.
“For the avoidance of doubt the Nigeria Police Force is working assiduously with relevant government departments and agencies to effect the payment of the promotion arrears.
“All promoted officers have since Jan. 2015 been enjoying the salaries attendant on their new ranks,’’ he said.
Abba reminded the officers that the force was founded on the bedrock of discipline and loyalty, adding that the police regulations had provided enough windows for aggrieved officers to express their grievances.
He restated his commitment to the welfare of the personnel and urged that all hands must be on deck to sustain measures put in place to ensure a safe and secure nation.

As a cleaner with N7,800 monthly salary, would you return the sum of N12m you found?

In a rare show of honesty, a cleaner working working with a concessionaire at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, Josephine Agwu, found and returned the sum of $24,000, about N12 million to the security unit of the airport.
The money was said to have been left behind by a passenger in one of the toilets in the airport and when Agwu went to clean the toilet and saw the money, her conscience would not allow her to keep the money, even with the fact that she is on a monthly salary of N7,800.
According to Agwu, when she found the money, the only thought in her mind was to return it as her faith and conscience would not allow her keep it.
Hear her:

"If I have taken what doesn’t belong to me, God will punish me. I am contented with my N7,800 monthly salary. It was not my money. I believe when it pleases God, he will bless the work of my hands and he will make me rich."
With this show of honesty, many have continued to applaud her while some Nigerians have been pouring insults on her, with some saying that she has just placed a poverty curse on herself for not taking the opportunity God presented to her.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday. There are insinuations that Obasanjo is not well disposed to Buhari either and would want an interim national government (ING) to be headed by him to midwife new elections in which neither Jonathan nor Buhari would be candidates. Obasanjo was believed to be the brain behind the ING set up by Ibrahim Babangida after the annulment of June 12 election in 1993, an arrangement that lasted for less then 100 days before the military took over. In his statement on Saturday, Abati (pictured) said Obasanjo was plotting with others “within and outside the country” to thwart the general election and foist an unconstitutional ING “which he hopes to head”. He said his “odious” plan to return to power through the back door “will fail woefully”. Abati said: “As we have had cause to say before, it is most regrettable indeed that a man like Chief Obasanjo, who should know better, chooses to repeatedly, wantonly, and maliciously impugn the integrity of a sitting President of his country for the primary purpose of self-promotion. “It is obvious from Chief Obasanjo’s serial vituperations against President Jonathan who is doing his best to positively transform Nigeria for the benefit of all of its people that he has willfully chosen to close his eyes to the present administration’s good works and intentions. For reasons best known to him,
Chief Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change by fair or foul means. “Otherwise, it would be completely senseless, irrational and out of place for Chief Obasanjo, who still claims to belong to the same party as the President, to accuse President Jonathan of plotting to win the rescheduled presidential elections by ‘hook or crook’ and planning to plunge the nation into crisis if he loses the election.” He said Jonathan had no such intention and will continue to give the greatest possible support to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant federal agencies to ensure that the rescheduled elections are successfully conducted. “Indeed, it is not President Jonathan who remains faithful to his oath of office who is trying to plunge Nigeria into crisis, but Chief Obasanjo who is scheming to plunge the country into chaos in pursuit of a selfish and highly egocentric agenda. “Chief Obasanjo’s plot with others within and outside the country to thwart the general elections and foist an unconstitutional Interim National Government, which he hopes to head on the nation is well known to us, but by the Grace of God Almighty, his odious plan to return to power through the back door will fail woefully. “We know very well that it is in pursuit of this nefarious plot that the former President continues to sow the seeds of discord and crises in the polity by purporting to remain in the ruling party while openly consorting with the opposition, endorsing its candidates and predicting victory for opposition candidates in a manner most unbecoming of a supposed elder statesman. “Thankfully, the vast majority of Nigerians who are patriotic and right-thinking cannot be fooled by Chief Obasanjo’s antics,” he said. Abati assured Nigerians that Jonathan’s commitment to democracy in all its ramifications “remains constant and that he will never be party to the use of any unlawful means to remain in office or gain political advantage over his opponents. “The President stands by his commitment, which he reaffirmed on national television last Wednesday that on his watch, all elections in Nigeria, will be free, fair and credible, and that all certified election results will be respected.” He maintained that “as President Jonathan has also assured the nation, the rescheduling of the general elections was in the best interest of the nation and was never driven by any ulterior motive on the part of government as Chief Obasanjo and others have alleged”.

PEOPLES Democratic Party, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO raised alarm Friday on the alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to simulate attacks on some of its own leaders with a view to accusing the PDP of being responsible for the attacks.
In a statement by Director, Media and Publicity, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode, said, “it has been brought to our attention that a section of the leadership of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has now perfected plans to simulate violent attacks on members of their own party and then point fingers at supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP for such attacks in order to portray us as being violent.
“As diabolical as this plan appears to be, it should come as no surprise to the Nigerian people given the antecedents of the APC. It is their stock-in-trade and their hallmark to engage in cheap propaganda and blackmail and to indulge in the most hideous form of violence. The recent torching of some of the branded buses of our party by the APC in Jos did not come to us as a surprise.

“Again the attacks on the convoy of our candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, whilst he was campaigning in Katsina, Bauchi, Taraba, Adamawa and Kaduna States were all carried out by members of the APC and the supporters and disciples of General Muhammadu Buhari.
“As an example of their sheer deceit and chicanery, there is a video of the burning of our campaign buses all over social media. This video footage showed a group of hoodlums offering songs of praise to General Muhammadu Buhari and chanting war songs whilst they indulged in a gruesome and unrestrained orgy of violence. Yet the APC still attempted to deceive Nigerians by claiming that the burning of the buses was carried out by members of the PDP in Plateau State.
“The fact of the matter is that our party was not embroiled in any violent intra-party fracas in Plateau state. Furthermore our party leaders and members in Plateau State have demonstrated the highest level of decorum and civility even in the face of sponsored violence in the state.

Whether active or retired, these players have done enough to be remembered for their touches on the ball, impact in a team and effect on the pitch but have not been sung as the heroes they are.

There are players who passed the football with so many memories that they have implanted into the minds of fans and followers.
Whether active or retired, these players have done enough to be remembered for their touches on the ball, impact in a team and effect on the pitch.

They, however, have either not been celebrated like they should or they have just been overlooked by the media, big clubs and different football associations.
Top on the list;

-Austin Jay Jay Okocha: Mercurial Nigerian midfielder and two-time BBC African footballer of the year. He was the one time most expensive African footballer in the world when he moved to PSG for $18m. Sadly, Okocha never got to play for any of Europe’s top clubs, much more be nominated for the FIFA player award. He also was overlooked in all CAF footballer awards.

-Paul Scholes: Known for his combative style of pay in the middle of the pack for Manchester United and England, Scholes never got the headliners he deserved from the English press. His profile at both national and club levels was overridden by the exploits of David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Michael Owen, Rooney etc.

-Juninho Pernambucano: the freekick expert, Juninho held it down French club, Lyon in their glorious days of seven consecutive league titles from 2001 to 2008 and then helping Brazil to the 2002 World Cup. He however has been denied a place in World football history.

-Michael Laudrup: This 50 year-old retired Danish footballer is one of the few footballers to win league titles in three associations. He won league titles with Ajax, Barcelona, RealMadrid and Juventus. Most honours that have been awarded him are from his country home, Denmark where he is a knight and was chosen as the Golden player of Denmark by the Danish football Association.

-Luis Enrique: The current Barcelona coach was part of the club’s historic period before the renaissance by DutchmanFrank Rijkaard. Known better as a right or attacking midfielder, the Spaniard played in all position except being a goalkeeper and a defender.

-Gaizka Mendieta: Versatile Spanish midfielder, with good offensive and tackling skills, capable of creating goal scoring opportunities, he spent most of his career at Valencia, becoming one of the few loyal Spanish faithfuls. He only left the Spanish club for Middlesborough in 2004 where he retired.

-Gilberto Silva: the humble and hard-working type, Silva’s rank grew from being just a street footballer to a World champion in 2002 and part of the Arsenal Invincible team of 2003/2004 season. The 38 year-old is hardly mentioned.

-Robert Prosinečki: regarded as the player with best technique that ever played in and for Croatia, he is hardly mentioned for his excellence on the pitch and ability to keep possession of the ball, not even has he been heard of in any of Real Madrid or Barcelona news. He is one of the few to have played for both Spanish giants.

-Zvonimir Boban: Prosinecki’s teammate, Boban won fourSerie A titles with AC Milan and a UEFA Champions League title. He was captain of the Croatian Dragons who won Bronze at France 98

-Franck Ribery: otherwise known as Yusuf Bilal Mohammed, the Frenchman who does most of everything from the middle for both the French team and Bayern Munich. He came third at the 2013 FIFA Ballon D’Or and that has been the major recognition for him since then.

Thank God for how I am, where I am nd what I am...Nigeria may not be the best but remain the best...

You can say that again!!!

Officers of the Nigeria Police have been complaining of the dilapidated barracks they call home.

Many police officers serving in the Lagos State Police Command are not happy with their living conditions which some of them say can be compared to abodes for pigs and other animals.

According to some officers who spoke to the media on the condition of anonymity, most of their barracks spread across the state are not meant for human beings, not to talk of law enforcement officers with their families.
Some of them say that their families stand the risk of being wiped out in the event of an epidemic because of their squalid barracks.
A mobile police officer living at the Ikeja Mobile Barracks, lamented the poor and dilapidating structures, and fears some of them could collapse anytime soon.
"You need to come to the barracks to see the kind of structures we live in. The buildings are dilapidated and our children stand the risk of getting injured because the slabs on the staircase falls off anytime.
If there is an epidemic, we stand the risk of losing lives."
Another officer residing at the Ojuelegba Police Barracks thanked God that Nigeria was able to curtail the Ebola Virus Disease that ravaged the country some months back, believing that residents of the barrack would have been infected in their large number if the disease had found its way there.
"We thank God that the Ebola Disease was contained by the Nigerian government because if it had spread to our barracks, many people would have been infected.
We have cried and begged the government to help us put up good structures to live in but it seems all of our cries have fallen on deaf ears.
Our barrack is only fit for pigs and other animals. If an epidemic breaks out now, we will be at risk."
Another mobile police officer said living in a barrack in Lagos is like living in hell.
"The barracks is old and needs reconstruction. Living here has not been pleasant at all. The soak-away is bad, and it brings out foul smell. The walls are cracking, and their rods are getting weak."
See the photos of different police barracks below.
