IGP SEEKS PERMISSION TO SEARCH SACKED DSS BOSS

Ibrahim Idris, inspector-general of police, is seeking the permission of Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, to search the residence of Lawal Daura, sacked director-general of the Department of State Services (DSS), TheCable can report.

Osinbajo ordered the dismissal of Daura on Tuesday following the invasion of the National Assembly Complex.

The acting president had summoned Daura and Idris to the presidential villa in Abuja over the raid of the parliament.

Daura was later handed over to the police and whisked away to the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) in Abuja while Mathew Seyeifa, a DSS director from Bayelsa who is next in line to him in the order of seniority, was appointed head of the agency in acting capacity.

In a letter seen by our Reporter, Idris said Daura is currently under house arrest in Abuja.

He said an intelligence team of the police had quizzed the sacked DSS DG who had made some disclosure.

Idris said Daura claimed that he acted on the intelligence that some persons were planning to smuggle arms into the national assembly but wondered why Daura did not get clearance from Osinbajo or share his findings with sister security agencies.

He wrote: “The principal suspect, Mr. Lawal Musa Daura, was formally arrested and interrogated in line with the allegation made against him.

“Following the interrogation by our intelligence operatives, the following facts emerged:

“That on 7/8/2018, the suspect Lawal Musa Daura illegally used his position as the then director general of Department of State Security Service conspired with his officers and men who wore hoods and masks, invaded the national assembly complex thereby preventing and forcing the peaceful members and staff of the national assembly from gaining access to the complex without any element of crime committed or an invitation by the leadership of the national assembly.

“That the primary suspect. Mr Lawal Daura, illegally used his position as the then director-general of the Department of State Services to  conspire with his officers and men who wore hoods and masks to invade the National Assembly Complex, thereby preventing members of the national assembly from gaining access to the complex without any element of crime committed.

“The DSS personnel acted like mercenaries hire to carry out execution… There is need to search the houses and premises of all the identified suspects.

“All communication gadgets such as computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices of the suspects will be thoroughly analysed.”

He accused the intelligence officer of conspiring with armed masked men to whip up sentiments against the federal government.

Idris said from the statements the sacked DSS DG made during interrogation, it is possible that he acted the script of “highly-placed politicians”.

Idris also appealed to the acting president to order that those who partook in the operation be released to the police for interrogation.

“It is crystal clear that the principal suspect Lawal Daura may be acting the script of some highly placed politicians to achieve some selfish political goals hence his unilateral and unlawful decision to invade the National Assembly complex,” he wrote.

“As it stands, the principal suspect Lawal Daura is undergoing further interrogation at our facility and is currently placed on house arrest at a private property awaiting further directives from Your Excellency.”

THE COWARD CALLED GODSWILL AKPABIO By Femi Fani-Kayode

“You remain the father of the nation, our father and political father to all. Just like i told Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Osinbanjo yesterday in Nigeria… Those who think that they have politically grown to insult you will all regret it before month end sir. I am here (London) to register my undiluted love and unalloyed support to you. I was involved in all their meetings and I know what their plans are. The long recess of NASS is going to be your advantage and not theirs like they thought and planned”- Senator Godswill Akpabio to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Those that do not have the courage of their convictions and that do not have the guts to stand against tyranny when under fire are not worthy of being called men: they are little better than beasts.
The fact that the former Governor of Akwa Ibom, Senator Godswill Akpabio, is a coward and a traitor is no longer in dispute. The fact that his brazen treachery knows no bounds is what can best be described as “settled law”.
A leader must be ready to sacrifice his liberty and life in defence of truth, justice and righteousness and he must be prepared to defend his nation, faith, people and loved ones no matter the price he may have to pay.
Sadly such noble virtues and high standards are lost on men like Akpabio. To them such matters and sentiments are like Greek or Latin: they can neither understand their meaning or grasp their import.
They fail to appreciate the fact that fear is not a virtue but a vice. They refuse to acknowledge the fact that to blink the eye, bat the eyelid, surrender, compromise, buckle, capitulate and bend the knee to the tyrant and his minions in a futile and last minute attempt to preserve your life and liberty is utterly shameful.
Akpabio’s desire to decamp to the APC due to his trepidation and fear of the EFCC and Buhari’s regime is pitiful. If he has done nothing wrong then why the fear and why the trepidation? Where is his faith in God?
And if he has done something wrong, given the fact that he has opposed them virulently for the last three years, does he honestly believe that the Buhari regime will not punish him by using it against him if they manage to get back to power next year, no matter how much he helps them today?
If he believes that then he is not half as intelligent as I once thought. Buhari is not a man of honor, he is not a worthy ally, he does not keep to his pronlmises and he does not have friends. The only friend he has is his insatiable lust for power which he feeds on a daily basis.
Aside from that the following questions come to mind. Does Akpabio honestly see any good in Buhari and his goverrnment? Is that what he thinks that Nigerians deserve to suffer for the next few years and if so what is their crime?
Has he forgotten the gratuitous insults that Buhari dishes out so lavishly on the Nigerian people whenever he travels abroad and speaks to foreign leaders and the foreign press?
Has he forgotten about all those that the Buhari government have killed and all those that have died and suffered in the struggle against them? Does the shedding of innocent blood by a desperate government mean nothing to him?
Has he forgotten the tears of the tormented and persecuted and the cries of the widows, orphans and the bereaved whose loved ones have been butchered by jihadists, religious fanatics, cow-lovers and ethnic supremacists that Buhari has protected and encouraged over the last three years?
Has he forgotten the anguish of those whose loved ones have been locked up indefinately and those who have been demonised and subjected to the most barbaric and insidious media witchunts in the history of our nation?
Has he forgotten the practice of double standards in the application of our laws? Has he forgotten how the rogues in Buhari’s cabinet and government and the governors in his party are above the law and get away with blue murder?
Has he forgotten about the slaughter of northern Christians, IPOB youths and Shiite Muslims?
Has he forgotten about the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Fulani terrorists and herdsmen? Has he forgotten about the attack against the Church and the attempt to undermine and ridicule Christendom?
Has he forgotten about the censorship of the media and how newspapers houses and radio and television stations are warned against airing or publishing anti-government material?
Has he forgotten about Buhari’s insidious secret romance with Boko Haram and how he has strengthened them in the last two years by freeing their commanders and paying them huge and unprecedented ransoms?
Has he forgotten the appauling way that members of our Armed Forces are being treated by the government and how they are massacred on the front lines and given secret mass burials in secret graves with no honor or thanks?
Has he forgotten about the brutal assault on the judiciary and judges and the undermining of the rule of law? Has he forgotten about the relentless attacks on the legislature and the humiliation of his colleagues at the National Assembly?
Has he forgotten about the horrors and wickedness that members and leaders of the opposition PDP were subjected to over the last 3 years? Has he forgotten about what the Govermment did to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Sheik El Zak Zaky and Col. Ibrahim Dasuki?
Has he forgotten the vitriolic terms and words that they used to describe President Goodluck Jonathan, President Olusegun Obasanjo and every single PDP leader and government that held power between 1999 and 2015?
Has he forgotten that Buhari considers himself to be the third and final Mahdi of the north and that he has nothing but contempt and disdain for those that come from the Middle Belt and the south and those that do not share his religious faith?
Has he forgotten the insults the Buhari government heaped on southerners, Middle Belters, Afenifere, Ohaeneze, the Niger Delta Elders, the Middle Belt Forum and every single elderstatesman and leader that has called for the restructuring of our country.
Has he forgotten about the division, strife, disgrace, penury, corruption, poverty and despair that they have subjected the Nigerian people to over the last three years.
Has he forgotten what Christians have been subjected to by these demons from hell? Has he forgotten their hatred for the Church? Has he forgotten the division, strife, turmoil, bloodshed, torment and havoc that they have inflicted on our nation?
Has Akpabio forgotten about all these things or is that he is so tormented by the fear of his own shadow, the EFCC and Buhari’s ghost that he has capitulated like a fatherless peasant that lacks nobility, class, dignity, self-respect, good-breeding and honor?
On a general note one is constrained to ask: why are most Nigerian leaders plagued with such a cowardly disposition and servile spirit? Why do they compromise so often and why do they tremble before power?
If Akpabio had issues with PDP that is fair enough. We all have issues with the party in varying degrees.
Yet if he felt constrained to leave why can’t he join any of the other numerous opposition parties? Why does he have to sell his soul to the devil and enter a Faustian pact with Buhari and the APC.
Why should he join the birds of prey to feed on the blood, flesh and guts of the Nigerian people?
The truth is that he has betrayed his people and joined forces with those that seek to enslave them simply in an attempt to secure freedom and goodwill for himself.
Is that what leaders are meant to do? Are they meant to give in to their most morbid and irrational fears and collaborate with those that seek to destroy their nation, their people and their future?
Akpabio reminds me of the old African chiefs and traditional rulers that sold their own people into slavery to the white slave dealers in return for tiny crumbs and protection.
He reminds me of the black slaves that fought on the side of the southern secessionist forces in the American civil war who attempted to preserve the institution of slavery.
He reminds me of the inglorious Scottish clans that turned their backs on Scotland’s heroic Bonny Prince Charlie and instead betrayed their people and fought on the side of the English oppressors to oppose Scottish emancipation and liberation.
He reminds me of everything that is unpleasant, servile, weak, ugly, uncouth, cowardly and dishonorable.
The fact of the mattee is that Akpabio deserves to be pitied. He is more worthy of pathos than wrath because, like Judas Iscariot and those that betrayed and crucified Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, he “knows not what he does”.
Shakespeare wrote that “a coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once.”
Soyinka wrote that “the man died in him who remained silent before tyranny”.
Akpabio has died a thousand deaths and the man has died in him.
Courage, risk and sacrifice are the fuel and engine room of the struggle for liberation. I would rather live as a free man for one day than live a thousand years as a coward and a slave.
May God guide my friend and brother Godswill Akpabio and may He open his eyes and cause him to appreciate the folly of his own actions and the very grave consequences of the monumental mistake he is about to make.
May He remind him that the forces of darkness have nothing to offer but death, sorrow, shame and destruction.
May He remind him that no matter how dark the night, joy comes in the morning for those who have faith, who trust in the Lord and who stand firm till the end.
May He remind him that those that joined Adolf Hitler, even in his last days, ended up dying with him.
Me: Mfonobong Usoro, please come and answer this your former party man ooo. He is looking for Obongowo’s trouble ooo

We Are Biafrans In Politics-MOBIN

By

MOBIN is Biafran political movement that is established for legal methodology of Biafra quest. It respects other methodologies, but believes that legal methodology which involves political, diplomatic and judicial processes is the best in a country like Nigeria.

Apart from registration fee (N1,000) which was paid by a few hundred members, MOBIN has been run from inception with the Chairman’s and Directors’ personal funds. The Chairman and Directors of MOBIN have spent millions of Naira to take MOBIN to where it is today.
There is a limit to what MOBIN can achieve with little personal funds, thus we have reopened registration for all members. Registration fee remains N1,000. It includes the cost of ID card. We are also introducing monthly due as source of funding, henceforth all members are expected to pay N200 monthly dues to their state Coordinators. Diaspora members should pay annually to the account that will be provided by the Chairman and inform any of the Directors of MOBIN after payment.
My people, politics is a gun; money is the trigger. 2019 general election is around the corner and MOBIN intends to make bolder steps that will surpass its achievements in Anambara state 2017 governorship election. We are wiser now and we can play the game smarter. What we need most are funds for political education in Biafra land and for sponsoring other political activities of ours. Until we produce Biafran politicians who can boldly and intelligently talk about Biafra at local, state, federal and international levels, the actual quest for Biafra has never begun.
We are appealing to all members to be committed in paying monthly dues to their state Coordinators. We are also appealing to non registered members and followers of MOBIN to register with N1,000 which covers cost of ID card. Finally, we are appealing to the public to support MOBIN financially. Integrity is one of our watchwords in MOBIN. We will see our money working as we contribute.
All financial supports and donations for MOBIN activities should be made through this bank account: DE MOBIN INITIATIVE, 1021398408, UBA. The account is being managed by Chairman and Directors of MOBIN. The account managers have records of decades of proven integrity.

OurMumuDondo Movement Occupies INEC Offices -Demands For Voter Registration Extension

By

Members of OurMumuDondo Movement Stormed  INEC Offices  today demanding for an extension of Voter Registration .Members of the Movement were sighted at the gate of INEC Office along House Of Assembly Road ,Awka in most coordinated and peaceful manners singing ‘Today ,Today,OurMumu Dondo ,Today ,Today, Vote,NaOurPower,Extend Registration To December….Hundreds of Members were seen  holding placards with inscription : NaWeBeGovernment: EXTEND CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION(CVR) TO DECEMBER; VOTE BUYING AND SELLING SHOULD BE MADE A CRIMINAL OFFENCE among several other messages bothering on the need for INEC to give the issuance and collection of VOTER CARD a top priority .

 

The State Coordinator Of the Movement-Comrade Ndubuisi Anaenugwu told newsmen that suspending Continuous Voter Registration by 17th of August will disenfranchise millions of Nigerians from being part of the next year election.  Comrade Anaenugwu suggested that INEC should upgrade their information technology department to fit into 21st century realities where biometric cards are processed within few hours as in case of Bank ATM Cards, International Passport issuance .Ndubuisi said that Billions of taxpayers’ funds have been invested in the Nigeria Electoral processes to ensure efficiency and prompt service delivery but could not understand the rationale behind suspending Voter Registration 6 months before the election.

In a demand Letter signed by the Convener of the Movement-Charles Oputa and presented to the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Anambra State,the letter reads in full : ‘’’The OurMumuDonDo Movement wishes to express its utmost dissatisfaction with the move by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to end the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration exercise by mid-August 2018. We express dissatisfaction at the proposed deadline because we share in the throes of the Nigerian people who have painstakingly tried to register for and acquire their PVC at different CVR centers around them but to no avail for reasons of lack of adequate CVR centers, Inadequate registration officers, and general lack of efficiency from INEC. Aside from a few Nigerians who are being impeded by work schedule, the generality of the populace has been highly committed to the process of acquiring a PVC. In the few active centers and even the rotational ones, the queues have been embarrassingly long but with a little or no result to show for it. In different cities, there are allegations against INEC registration officers receiving bribes from Nigerians before they are registered – in spite of the unsavoury experience these would-be voters have had to endure on a daily basis.  We consider it of paramount importance, therefore, that the mid-August deadline for the registration of prospective voters is reviewed and extended by the commission. We believe, also, that by virtue of PART III, Section 9(5) of Nigeria’s Electoral Act, 2010, which states that “The registration of voters, updating, and revision of the register of voters under this section shall stop not later than 60 days before any election covered by this Act,” the proposed deadline can be moved to December 14, 2018.The proposed extension will indubitably provide millions of Nigerians who are yet to register due to the inefficiencies of this commission to do so. With more than five million Nigerians registered already, there is a high tendency that the ongoing CVR exercise may as well go down in history as the season of the highest number of registered voters in our country. We assure the commission that Nigerians who are yet to be registered are willing and ready to do so provided that the registration centers are available and that enough time is given for registration to take place. The OurMumuDonDo Movement is also willing to engage in further discussions with INEC on how the process of registration can be reviewed and made less strenuous for Nigerians to register for the Permanent Voter’s Card. While awaiting an official gazette from the commission on the extension of registration till December 14, 2018, please be assured of our utmost regards; for the commission and your esteemed office’’’

The Resident Electoral Commissioner assured the Movement on INEC resolve to meet the expectations of Nigerians .He announced that INEC has frustrated Politicians who were used to bribing Electoral officers .He pointed out that because of INEC resolve to conduct free ,fair and credible elections, that the desperate Politicians have shifted their dirty politics to buying of votes .He reminded the Movement to go back to the street to educate the voters on the need to secure their voters card.On the Extension request,The REC advised that INEC needed enough time to prepare for a free,fair and credible presidential election.

OurMumuDondo Movement To Occupy INEC Office This Week

By

OurMumuDondo Movement has concluded arrangement to launch an initiative tagged -OCCUPY INEC.This initiative is targeted at enhancing Voters’ participation in the democratic process in Nigeria and to demand for the extension of the Continuous Voter Registration(CVR) exercise by Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC) in Nigeria.The Initiative to occupy INEC Office in Abuja ,Anambra and other States in Nigeria will be spearheaded by The President Of All The Frustrated Nigerians-Charles Oputa(AreaFather) and many other Young Presidential Aspirants .

BVI Channel 1 Online gathered that OurMumuDondo Members will occupy INEC Offices Nationwide come 8th August ,2018 to press for the extension of Continuous Voter Registration .

The Movement had noted that there has been an upward surge in the number of Nigerians acquiring their Permanent Voter’s Card since 2003. This trend usually graphics the interest of voters in participating in elections in Nigeria. Available statistics show that the number of registered voters in 2003 was 60Million, 2007 was 61.5Million, 2011 was 68Million, and 2015 was 68.8Million registered voters. While there has been a consistency of an increase in the number of registered voters since 2003 up until 2015, the rate at which Nigerians have been trotting to the nearest CVR center around them since January 2017, has been remarkable. This ongoing exercise will probably record the highest number of voters ever recorded in four years in Nigeria.The Movement further stated that the ongoing Continuous Voter’s Registration exercise, however, stands threatened by the short notice of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to end the registration by mid-August. The announced deadline by INEC contradicts PART III, Section 9(5) of Nigeria’s Electoral Act, 2010, which states that “The registration of voters, updating, and revision of the register of voters under this section shall stop not later than 60 days before any election covered by this Act.” The announced deadline, therefore, is inconsistent with the extant Electoral Act, 2010.

The OurMumuDonDo Movement, in collaboration with visionary young presidential aspirants under the Presidential Aspirants Coming Together (PACT) initiative, and concerned Civil Society Organizations, believes that by virtue of PART III, section 9(5) of Nigeria’s Electoral Act, 2010, the deadline announced by the INEC is inconsistent with law and unacceptable to Nigerians.

To express our disapproval of this move, therefore, we have decided to commence a three-day nationwide protest on Wednesday, August 8, 2018. This protest will be organized and led by the OurMumuDonDo Movement at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission in Abuja, and in other cities in the country. Partners and members of the public living in other parts of the country will also be urged to participate.

The focus of this action is to demand that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) continues the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise until December 14, 2018. The proposed extension by the OurMumuDonDo Movement will allow many Nigerians who are yet to register for the Permanent Voter’s Card to do so without further ado.

NB: The hashtags to be used for this protest are #ExtendCVR,  #LetNigeriansVote, and #OccupyINEC.

Father Caught sodomizing his Twin Sons

By
Queen Madu
-

The founder of a non-governmental organisation, Jephath Ighodaro, has been remanded in the Kirikiri prison for allegedly sodomising his four-year-old twin children.

He was remanded by a magistrate at an Ogba Magistrate’s Court on Friday.

PUNCH Metro had reported that the police spokesperson, CSP Chike Oti, said the 37-year-old was arrested after his wife alleged that he sodomised their twin boys.

According to the police, the couple separated in October 2015 after which Ighodaro withdrew the children from their school in March 2016.

He was accused of abusing the children between January and July 2018, as he allegedly penetrated their anuses and made them suck his manhood.

When the children spent a weekend with their mother, they allegedly fondled her breasts, which made her suspicious.

When she queried them, the kids allegedly said their father had been sodomising them.

The Director of the Lagos State Office of the Public Defender, Mrs Adeyinka Adeyemi, had told our correspondent that the results of medical tests from the Mirabel Medical Centre, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, showed that the victims were abused.

She said while being interviewed at the agency’s office, the children went to toilet about three times, adding that they might have health problems.

The Edo State indigene was arraigned on Friday on two counts of sodomy.

The charge read, “That you, Jephath Ighodaro, between January 2018 (and July 2018), between 7am and 10pm on Saint Augustine Street, Orisunmbare, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully sexually assault one (first child) by penetrating his anus, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2015.

“That you, Jephat Ighodaro, between January 2018 (and July 2018), between 7am and 10pm on Saint Augustine Street, Orisunmbare, Lagos, in the Lagos Magisterial District, did unlawfully sexually assault one (second child) by penetrating his anus, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 261 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2015.”

The defendant pleaded not guilty and elected summary trial.

The police prosecutor, Inspector Samuel Ishola, who stood in for the resident prosecutor, Christopher John, applied for the remand of the defendant in prison.

The defence counsel, Sunday Aniebite, applied for the bail of the defendant, saying the law presumed Ighodaro innocent until the contrary was proven.

“The defendant has never committed any offence before and if granted bail, he will not cause obstruction to the cause of justice. He will not jump bail,” he said.

Ishola, however, said, “The charge before the court is tantamount to a capital offence and that is why the police have come with a remand application. If he is granted bail, it will prejudice the interest of justice,” he said.

Ighodaro, on enquiry from the Chief Magistrate, Mr. P.E. Nwaka, said he was a social worker and had recently formed his NGO, Purple Foundation, adding that he got an approval for it in May 2018.

He explained that before he formed the group, he consulted for an international organisation.

Nwaka, who stood down the case after observing an oversight in the remand form brought by the police, later remanded Ighodaro in custody.

He said, “After considering the remand application by the prosecution vis-a-vis the affidavit, and taking into consideration the circumstances of the case, the application of the prosecution is meritorious; I will therefore grant it. The defendant is to be remanded for the first 30 days pending the release of legal advice.”

He adjourned the case till September 3, 2018.

Buhari’s speech at the Hague

By
bvichannel1
-

 

At a time several countries, including a few African countries, were contemplating quitting the International Criminal Court (ICC); we think it was quite thoughtful of the ICC to have invited President Muhammadu Buhari to deliver the keynote address on the occasion of the 20th anniversary celebration of the Court at The Hague on July 17.

The election of a “cherished son of Nigeria,” Justice Chile Eboe-Osuji, as the President of the Court, is also a great honour on the country, for which President Buhari appropriately thanked the judges.

The court needs the support of a country like Nigeria to persuade all African countries of its evenhandedness and to counter some of the specious arguments being advanced by some noted African dictators who dread accountability. As the African Union’s Champion on Anti-Corruption, President Buhari was an excellent choice, too. He also made the most of it by appealing to the ICC to “include serious cases of corruption by state actors that severely compromise the development efforts of countries and throw citizens into greater poverty.”

The primary concern of a global court like the ICC is to hold people accountable for crimes against humanity, war crimes, crimes of genocide and aggression and, as Buhari stated in his speech, the court was inspired by the famous Nuremberg trials of Second World War criminals. The court was set up to prevent impunity and punish leaders responsible for appalling crimes and atrocities while giving hope of justice to the many, Buhari said in his short but powerful speech to the Court.

President Buhari observed that there is an alarming proliferation of serious crimes around the world, a phenomenon that has increased the Court’s relevance. Commenting on the Court’s limitation of not being able to act in countries which are not members, Buhari urged the ICC to send a strong message that would be heard by both victims and perpetrators and by so doing reinforce the demand for justice. In all cases, the court must underscore the international community’s commitment to accountability and the rule of law.

“The Rome Statute created more than a court; it created the outline for a system of justice for horrific crimes rooted first in national courts doing their job, and where they fail to do so, the ICC stepping in only as ‘the court of the last resort,’” Buhari said.
He praised the court for overcoming its initial challenges in areas of financial resources and even more gravely the threats of withdrawals of membership of the Court by some States. He commended the court for addressing those challenges in a dignified and commendable way. On the way forward, he urged the court to accept all constructive criticisms, raise greater awareness, engender trust and encourage non-members to become members. He urged all states which have not done so to “accede to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court so that it can become a universal treaty.”

Nigeria, he said, has always supported the Court and would continue to do so out of “our strong belief in the respect for the rule of law and human rights. Nigeria is preparing to conduct a general election in 2019. Contrary to the tragic incidents that characterised the 2011 general election in Nigeria which necessitated preliminary investigations by the ICC, I assure you that all hands are on deck to prevent any recurrence of such tragic incidents. We shall do everything possible to ensure that Nigeria witnesses the conduct of free, fair and peaceful elections in 2019,” the President pledged.

We commend President Buhari for his forthright speech. He struck all the right notes and Nigerians should be proud of those policy commitments.

• Wife murdered with pestle by Okada rider, man guns down girlfriend

• Flood claims pregnant woman, daughter, 2 ot

Multiple tragic incidents were recorded in different parts of Anambra State yesterday. First was the killing of a housewife with a pestle by her husband, while another man shot dead his girlfriend for yet-to-be-ascertained reasons. Again, four persons, including a pregnant woman, were confirmed dead following massive flooding in different parts of the state.

At 2, Umudioka Street, Nkpor, Idemili North Council, James Nworah, commercial motorcylist (okada rider) from Izzi, Ebonyi State, killed his wife in the early hours of yesterday by smashing her head with a pestle while she was asleep around 2am.

We gathered that the couple, blessed with five children, recently packed into the building. His townsman identified as Romanus told our reporter that the man has been mentally unstable and was a commercial motorcyclist affected by the recent okada ban in Onitsha.

He said Nwogha joined his wife in her pap business after the okada ban, adding that the incident happened when they had finished sieving the pap they would sell the following day.

Anambra State police public relations officer, Muhammed Haruna, confirmed the incident but said the man hit his wife, Jennifer Nwogha, 30, on the head with a pestle during altercation that ensued  between them, and she died on the spot.

Haruna said the scene of crime was visited by police detectives attached to Ogidi Division, led by the DPO, CSP Mark Ijarafu, while the suspect was being detained pending full investigation.

In another development, Uchenna, 25, of Orofia village, Abagana, was shot dead by Chika of Oranto Ukpo community, inside his friend’s room.

Haruna said detectives attached to Dunukofia Division, led by the DPO, visited the scene of crime and discovered that the room, occupied by Nwabueze, was locked and the suspects escaped. He said the victim was taken to Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, where she was confirmed dead by a doctor.

There is one interesting fact about the Arewa Northerners by Charles Ogbu

By
bvichannel1
-

They always protect and defend the interest of the Arewa North regardless of their political affiliations. Whether PDP, APC, APGA, the ArewaNortherner is always after the interest of the ArewaNorth.

For them, it’s not really about personal ambition. It’s always, always, about taking power back to the ArewaNorth and making sure it remains there.
This is why in 2015, a whole chairman of the self acclaimed largest political party in Africa (PDP), Adamu Muazu, played “Brutus” to a southern President, Goodluck Jonathan and worked for Buhari, a fellow Northern but unlike the Shakespearen Brutus who betrayed Caeser because deep down, he felt it was for the good of Rome, Muazu betrayed Jonathan for selfish tribal purpose. This is why till date, Adamu Muazu’s name has not been mentioned in the #DasukiList.
Make no mistake,, all these political jumpology by the Atikus, the Kwankwasos, the Buba Galadimawas etc would not have happened in 2015 and neither would it have happened now IF the APC then and the PDP now hadn’t zoned its Presidency to the ArewaNorth.
For the ArewaNorth, personal interest-induced politics does not exist. It is always about the North. To the eternal shame of Southern politicians who wouldn’t mind seeing the entire South burn if only they could rule over ashes
If the Former Kano state Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso and President Buhari were Southerners, by now, the former Kano no1 man would be going from one media house to the other telling the whole world how he pulled the 2 million Kano vote Magic for Buhari’s 2015 election and the role of this current Police IG, Idris Abubakar in the mysterious death of the Kano INEC resident Electoral commissioner along with his wife and daughter. Musiliu Obanikolo did that with regards to Ekiti 2014 election. Check out Rotimi Amechi and President Jonathan.
But because for Kwankwaso, it is not really about Buhari neither is it about Nigeria but simply about the ArewaNorth, he has kept his mouth sealed with super glue.
Let the PDP try zone its Presidency even to a Yoruba Muslim (not even an Owelle Ananyo Rochas) and watch these Northern jumpologists stick with the dark hearted Daura ethnic Cleanser called Buhari.
But I blame them not. Why should I blame people for placing the interest of their ancestry over and above personal interest???
It is the horde of inebriated buffonic idiots masquerading as Southern politicians that I blame.
An average Southern politician is driven solely by one thing: intestinal consideration. Nothing more. While his Northern counterpart is driven mainly by ethno-religious consideration.
This is why the Fulani ethnic group with far less than 9 million population who are largely unlettered and are not even Nigerians but foreigners could be controlling over 180 people from over 250 ethnic groups and you have the very best brains from these other ethnic groups willing to use nuclear bomb on their own people just to ensure the fulanis remain in power.
Check Benue state that has conducted more Mass Burials than wedding ceremonies, it is minister Audu Ogbeh from the same Benue who has been clamouring for ranches and cattle colony to be built for the same fulani terrorist herdsmen responsible for those Mass burials.
Check the man they sent to come tell us to either surrender our ancestral land to the fulanis or die, his name is not Musa. His name is Femi Adesina.
Look up the person that has been disparaging (Christian Association Of Nigeria) the body of Christians in Nigeria. Her name is Lauretta Onochie and she is a Christian.
Now, check the names of the 13 SANs who defended a certificate-less Fulani President and you will see Femi Falana as the leader. If Buhari was a Southerner wanting to be President without his O’level result as required by law, these same Southern senior lawyers would have been the ones going from court to court quoting Sir Richard and Marpherson Constitution just to stop him.
When Buhari and his Janjaweed soldiers were drowning IPOB youths in muddy waters, it was an Igbo Governor, Dave Umahi, who accompanied Buhari to a UN meeting in New York where he (Umahi) told foreign Press that it was IPOB that attacked and wounded dozens of Nigeria soldiers who were simply on a routine patrol.
When the ArewaNorth invaded Ile-Ife, the cradle of the Yoruba civilization and resorted to using federal might to arrest, handcuff and publicly parade some Yoruba Oba like common criminals, did anybody hear Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s voice???
Two weeks ago when Buhari visited the International Criminal Court few days after over 200 people were massacred in Plateau state, it was the governor of the same Plateau State Simon Lalong who accompanied the Grand Patron of the same terrorist group (Fulani herdsmen) to the ICC. Even if Lalong didn’t utter a word all through the course of the visit, his mere Presence alone said everything.
The ScionsOfDanfodios do not have any special political prowess. They are not even master strategists in the real sense of the word. They are simply lucky to have a very large bunch of House Negros down South who have no shame, no pride, no sense of self worth nor ethnic patriotism, no nothing…… except insatiable appetite for coins and gold and self preservation above collective Preservation.
The tragedy of Southern Nigeria is simply and squarely the tragedy of having dickless, headless, spineless Men and Women preside over the affairs of her largely lion-hearted people.
