Photos: Neighbours stand and watch as man beats his wife almost to death for cheating

Just saw a gruesome video online that broke my heart. Men... and even women stood and watched as this man stripped his wife to her underwear and brutally beat her with a plank. The people who posted the video online said he beat her to death, but that isn't shown in the video. The last seconds of the video shows the man dragging the very weak woman away. They said the man attacked his wife after catching her with another man. And no, it didn't happen in Nigeria. I screen-grabbed from the video. Continue to see more photos..

Diaper-wearing Buhari funded with corruption can't fight corruption - Fayose

How many press releases will they release in a day? Here's another one...

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described claim by the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate that he will fight corruption if elected as president as the height of deceit, saying; "a diapers-wearing old man surrounded and being funded by notoriously corrupt people cannot fight corruption."

The governor, who said Buhari must first fight his own personal corruption and health issues before talking about fighting corruption in Nigeria, added that; "President Goodluck Jonathan is already fighting corruption by allowing rule of law to thrive, and this was acknowledged by the Transparency International (TI), which rated Nigeria as the 39th most corruption country in the world in 2014 as against the most corrupt country and second most corrupt country in the world that Nigeria was rated in 2001 and 2003 respectively."

According to a statement issued on behalf of the governor by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, "If Buhari cannot be above board on issues regarding his academic certificates and health status; he should as well tell the story of his plan to fight corruption to the marines."

The governor said; "I have listened to Buhari saying everywhere he goes that 'I will fight corruption, I will fight corruption, I will corruption' as if that statement was pre-recorded in his brain and it's just being played back. Today again, the only word that came out of Buhari's mouth was 'I will fight corruption'. "Can a man like Buhari who can hardly do anything on his own because of ill-health fight anything? Can a man, who is contending with wearing diapers when he wants to sleep fight mosquitos not to talk of corruption?

"Can a man, whose election is being funded with money from questionable sources fight corruption? Or is Buhari telling us that he also borrowed money to run his campaigns the way he 'borrowed' N27 million to obtain his party nomination form?

"Most importantly, is Buhari going to fight corruption by jailing people for 400, 300, 200 and 100 years like he did when he was Head of State? Is he going to just dumped people in detention the way he dumped our illustrious fathers like late Chief Adekunle Ajasin, late Chief Bisi Onabanjo, Alhaji Lateef Jakande and late Chief Bola Ige, all of whom served Yorubaland diligently by giving us free education and free health?

"I think Buhari should just face other issues and stop this replay of 'I will fight corruption' that was obviously recorded in his brain because President Jonathan is already fighting corruption and that has been acknowledged by the Transparency International (TI), which placed Nigeria as 39th most corruption country in the world in 2014 as against the second most corrupt country that Nigeria was rated in 2003.

"It is a fact that in year 2000, Transparency International rated Nigeria as the most corrupt country in the world and the country only improved marginally in 2001 and 2003 when it was rated the second most corrupt nation in the world. It was only under the President Jonathan's government that Nigeria made steady improvement in Corruption Perception Index (CPI) by becoming the 31st most corrupt country in 2013 and 39th in 2014.

"So, Buhari should tell us what else he intends to fight because under President Jonathan, corruption is already being fought, using global best practices."

Its a Lie!!! Our King Didn’t Speak With GEJ – Morocco

The Federal Government had said that President Goodluck Jonathan had a telephone conversation with King Mohammed VI, King of Morocco but the Moroccan authorities have said nothing of such happened therefore the FG had lied…

The Moroccan Kingdom which recalled its ambassador to Nigeria, said that it was stating in the “clearest and strongest terms,” that “there has never been a telephone conversation” between the two leaders.
According to the Kingdom’s official website, Maroc.ma, in two separate statements issued within 24 hours on Wednesday, it accused the Goodluck Jonathan administration of using the King for electioneering.

‘Morocco Denies False Allegations About Alleged Phone Conversation Between HM The King, and Nigerian President’ while the second statement, is titled ‘Morocco recalls its ambassador in Abuja for consultations.’

Last week, the Moroccan royal palace said the king had declined a request for a telephone conversation with President Jonathan, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja on Monday denied the snub, saying the two leaders had spoken extensively. It also denied that the Federal Government was using Mohammed VI to woo Muslim voters in Nigeria.
And according to the Foreign Affairs ministry:

“This information is absolutely not correct as the President did in fact speak to the Moroccan monarch… both leaders spoke extensively over the phone on matters of mutual interest and concern… “preposterous to suggest that Mr. President’s telephone call to the Moroccan monarch was intended to confer any electoral advantage.”

But Morocco had in fact said in the statements:

“The king has actually declined the request of the Nigerian government because it is part of the internal electioneering,”

”Morocco is surprised at the incredible twist given by Nigeria to an alleged phone conversation that never took place between HM King Mohammed VI and Nigerian President…
The King’s Office categorically denies the false allegations made by Nigerian authorities about an alleged phone conversation between the Sovereign and Nigerian President.”

Na wa o!!! Why lie???
