Kaduna State Governor-elect, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai’s campaign coordinator, Markus Ishaya, was on Tuesday killed by unknown gunmen…

According to the spokesman for the All Progressives Congress Kaduna Campaign Council, Mr. Samuel Aruwan, the coordinator was shot severally by the yet-to-be identified gunmen, after he was trailed to his house in the Atuku Kasa area of Jema’am Local Governor Area of the state.
A family source said the men, two in numbers, who were heavily armed, stormed the residence of the APC chieftain and shot him severally, adding that “they didn’t pick any property in his residence except carrying out the ungodly act,” Punch reports.

“The Police have confirmed the incident. The police have also visited the scene of the crime and have commenced investigation.
“While we appreciate their prompt action, our expectation is that the security agencies will fully investigate this killing and prosecute the perpetrators.
“Security agencies must adequately protect Nigerians irrespective of their status and standing.”

The governor-elect, while condoling with the family, prayed for the soul of the deceased – saying:

“Our empathy and prayers go to the family of Mr. Markus Ishaya and the entire community over this callous murder and desecration of human life.
“May Almighty God grant his soul eternal rest and give his family and friends the fortitude to bear this painful loss.”

Oritsefemi’s Babymama Claps Right Back At Him – And Its Not Pretty!!!

Yesterday, I shared with you how singer Oritsefemi revealed his fiancee’s photo, as the person who leaked his secret chats with different women of all shapes and sizes(hehe) – Amd some of his fans were not cool with him putting his babymama on the blast – Well, the lady in question has addressed the scenerio – See what she wrote on Instagram:

“My attention was called to a post on instagram this morning by some friends. My fiancée of five years put me on the blast and accused me of hacking his IG page, this is really surprising to me as i wasn’t around him when his phone got hacked or in Lagos, neither do i have the password to his IG account. How i could have hacked a personal phone that I don’t own beat me. I will never betray you like this Femi, I have always resolved to settling our issues in private no matter how bad it is. I can understand if you want to end the relationship and move on with your life, I’d accept that as the will of God but you don’t need to disgrace me publicly and drag my name to the mud all because of fame.
We suffer together and i was there before your claim to fame and still stood by you when God started blessing you because i know you truely deserve to be rewarded for all your year of hustling and hardwork. I am writing this openly and demand you delete that post and show respect to me and the years we spent together which is now a bad memory for me. How can you be so heartless and cruel. When you called to say you googled to know who hacked your IG page and my name was mentioned i laughed thinking that it’s was one of your pranks. I deserve some respect, the same one have shown you all these years. You bring me down and make me look like the villain while you become the hero. You should be ashamed of yourself for betraying my trust and love but instead you turned this around and put me on the blast so the world can overlook your shortcoming and focus on me. God sees it all”

Hmmmmm…. Please you men should STOP making your ex look bad – no matter what, you once loved the person or what do you think???

Man Swallowed Nails, Batteries, Screws and Coins Because He Was Depressed

Everyone gets depressed at some point, but wallowing in depression is wrong as well as unhealthy – Well, there’s this Indian man, who swallowed coins, nails and pin, everytime he got depressed – When he arrived at a hospital in India complaining of a stomach ache, unknown to the doctors, they thought it might be a case of food poisoning or an ulcer…

They were shocked to find the man had actually swallowed hundreds of coins and nails – And all these lasted over a three year period, when Rajpal Singh, 34, swallowed 140 coins, 150 nails and a handful of nuts, bolts, batteries, screws and magnets.
Mr Singh, a farmer from Bathinda in India’s western state of Punjab, said his bizarre habit began after he fell into a depression, and eating metal objects brought him comfort – He said:

‘Due to family problems I had slipped into depression and got hooked onto this weird habit.
‘Doctors have told me those sharp objects would have punctured my intestine and I would have eventually died.
‘I feel much more relaxed now. I am never going to do this again.’

Mr Singh claims he didn’t realise his stomach pain was due to his habit of eating metal objects – He went to many medical centres in Punjab complaining of a painful ache in his abdomen, but no doctors could diagnose the problem – Finally, Dr Gagandeep Goyal, a gastroentologist at a local hospital, carried out an X-ray and revealed the mass of metal deep in Mr Singh’s stomach – He has since carried out more than 240 endoscopy procedures to remove the objects, Daily Mail UK reports.
Mr Singh says he feels calmer now and will not swallow metal objects again.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

Stop the attacks or face our wrath – OPC threatens South Africa

The Oodua People’s Congress, OPC. has given a 48-hour ultimatum to the South African government to stop the xenophobic attacks going on their country or incur the wrath of the group. At a press conference in Lagos today April 21st, the founder of the group, Dr Frederick Fasheun warned that nobody has the monopoly of violence.

“While the Nigerian government and the rest of the world seek a diplomatic solution to this season of madness, the OPC hereby warns that South Africa must end this rash of xenophobia within 48 hours. These ill-advised attacks are capable of bringing out the beast in the best of men. And we will not watch as fellow Nigerians are wantonly killed in cold blood. Enough is enough. South Africans must know that nobody has a monopoly of violence. They must halt the killings, the maiming and the looting of foreigners’ shops in their country. These incidents of xenophobia will provoke reprisals against South Africans and their interests in other lands. Thus, beginning with the belligerent Zulu King, all South Africans involved in these attacks should be arrested immediately and prosecuted for crimes against humanity.”he said

According to Dr Fasheun, what the group will do if the attacks continues cannot be revealed now but said South Africans should remember they have many businesses in Nigeria

“South Africa has many business interests in Nigeria but of course, you do not expect me to reveal what we will do until the time is right.”he said

Hold on to your praises, I don't need them - Tinubu tells Kashamu

APC Chieftain, Chief Bola Tinubu has released a statement calling on the Ogun state Senator-elect, Buruji Kashamu to hold on to his praises as he does not need them. Recall that Chief Buruji had in a open letter last week called the former Governor his role model and the architect of modern day democracy and asked for them to collaborate for the upliftment of the yorubaland even though they are from different political parties.

Tinubu in a statement released by his media aide, Segun Dada yesterday April 21st, said Buruji who worked with other PDP members to produce a defamatory document against him, Gen Buhari and other APC members cannot all of a sudden begin to sing his praises. He asked the politician to make a trip to the US first as a Senator elect before he, Tinubu, can associate with him. Choi. These politicians. Read the statement after the cut...

 

The statement in part reads; "The days of false adulation are gone in Nigerian politics. Fake praise singers like Kashamu will find that their particular craft is no longer in vogue. During this election cycle, their practice has dramatically turned from the way things are to how things used to be. Politicians will no longer be able to change direction and loyalties as if they were changing clothes. Those in politics must know that responsibility and accountability shall now follow them. One can no longer walk both sides of the street at the same time. In case Kashamu has not noticed, the politics of principle defeated the politics of posturing. Kashamu may be prodigal but he is no political son of Tinubu. Kashamu’s political lineage tracks to people like Bode George and President Jonathan. He should direct his encomiums to these men who are his true role models. They need his contrived affections more than Tinubu does. This same Kashamu rained insults on former President Olusegun Obasanjo in a vicious campaign of calumny. Kashamu’s party, the PDP, sponsored defamatory documentaries full of lies and innuendos against me, General Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders of the APC. Please keep your peace until you make your trip to the USA as a senator-elect. Upon your return we can then have a conversation. We can then proceed with your repudiation of the PDP with a promise that you will stop corrupting and fouling the political system. I am a patriotic, law abiding Nigerian and my achievements make me world-renowned. I am a global citizen that travels freely to the USA, the United Kingdom and other nations. I associate with individuals who seek democracy and good governance for all. I do not spend time with characters whose values are at variance with societal expectations and laws governing a decent society".

Dear Jonathan Before You Go, #WhereIsOurMoney?

Over a year ago, Nigeria’s former central bank, CBN governor, now Emir, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi raised an alert on alleged missing billions ($) in oil revenue. By February, the figure was reconciled at $20 billion. We then began to ask, #WhereIsOurMoney?

The CBN governor explained that within the space of 18 months (only one-and-a-half years) examined, $20 billion was found not remitted by the National petroleum company, NNPC.

The breakdown of the missing revenue included 

$6 million looted daily via the kerosene subsidy scam run by oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke. Kerosene supposedly subsidized to be sold at a rate of N40.9/liter, sold at pumps at an average of N156/liter to Nigerian families, with the Diezani-oil cabal looting N100+/liter through her handful of cabal portfolio middle-men marketers. With over 10 million liters kerosene sold/day, $6+ million is looted from the masses this way every day, totaling another $4 billion for the 18 months visited.

A forensic audit was ordered by the Jonathan government. The summarily results (full report has never been released) found that $1.48 billion was confirmed missing for the 18 month period reviewed. In the news today, NNPC has refused to refund this 1.5 billion dollars. The rest 4+ years of Jonathan’s administration are yet to be audited.

According to Leadership, “PriceWaterHouse Coopers (PwC) determined that $3.38 billion relating to DPK subsidy cost was incurred by the NNPC for the review period. PwC confirmed that there was indeed a Presidential directive issued on the 15th of June 2009 instructing that subsidy on DPK be stopped and that there was a correspondence between PPPRA and the CBN governor to the effect that ‘PPPRA had ceased granting subsidy on kerosene since the Presidential directive of 15 June 2009, but kerosene subsidy was appropriated for in the 2012 and 2013 FGN budgets.’”

From the above we see evidence of at least $5.5 billion dollars missing by the NNPC in 18 months reviewed. The Jonathan government has been in power for almost 6 years. At this rate of unaccounted-for billions, no less than $22 billion is ‘missing’ or ‘unaccounted for’ in the world of former Sinate president David Mark, from open NNPC processes only.

This calculation is just one more of several on the different channels of revenue looting, before, during and after petroleum is sold, that find holes in the bucket through which not less than $130 billion has been looted by the Jonathan-led cabal the last 6 years and over $600 billion by the enmeshed devilish elite cabal since independence [see Punch, 27/10/2014].

This is big money. Really big money. This type of money could change the lives of all Nigerians at home and abroad even up to South Africa, and indeed could change the lives of all Africans.

So before president Jonathan leaves next month, on behalf of the good people of Nigeria; the 100 million desolate folk, the sick, dying and dead, we ask: dear president Jonathan, #WhereIsOurMoney?

Patience Jonathan's Role In The Sack of Police IG Exposed

Police chief Suleiman Abba has lost his job, becoming the first major casualty of Goodluck Jonathan’s loss in the just concluded presidential elections. He has since been replaced by Solomon Arase.

The Nation, in a report last Saturday, has revealed that Jonathan was under pressure to give Abba the boot - for alleged security and protocol breaches.

Credible sources in the presidency have disclosed that First Lady Patience Jonathan played a pivotal role in the events leading to the sack of IGP Abba.

Abba, The Nation learnt, had earlier been summoned by the President to defend himself against allegations by some PDP leaders and security chiefs regarding his role in the March 28 and April 11 elections.

Abba got the push because he rebuffed a presidential directive to make some “strategic moves” that would have favoured the ruling party in the two elections, the sources said.

One of them specifically mentioned Abba’s reluctance to redeploy the Assistant Inspector General in charge of Zone 6 Tunde Ogunsakin, from Rivers State to Cross River on the eve of the gubernatorial and Houses of Assembly elections.

The aim, it was gathered, was to enable the ruling party perfect what was described as its ectoral heist in some states in the Southsouth.

A source said when it became apparent that Abba was “using delay tactics” in carrying out the order, the First Lady, who was with some of her aides in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, instead of Bayelsa State where the President had gone to vote, called Dr. Jonathan demanded an immediate implementation of the directive, it was said.

Miffed by what she considered to be an affront, said the source, the First Lady said Abba would regret his tardiness.

Said the source: “I can categorically tell you that Abba would have saved his job but for what happened on the eve of the governorship election when we were in Port Harcourt. Could you believe that despite an initial signal from the authorities that Ogunsakin should be moved to Calabar, Abba was playing games with the directives? He was apparently not in the mood to comply. The President had to call him directly before the order was carried out, following a complaint made to him by the First Lady.

“I am also aware that the authorities are not happy with his conduct during the presidential election, especially his seeming closeness to the president-elect and his presence at presentation of Certificate of Return to Gen. Buhari in Abuja.

"He would have been allowed to stay on till the inauguration of the new government but for ignoring the wishes of the wife of the President.”

Jonathan is said to be demanding loyalty from all Service Chiefs until he leaves office on May 29.
