Fani-Kayode blows hot over Badeh's death

As reactions have continued to trail the news of the former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Ale Badeh's death, fiery writer and former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fan-Kayode is not certainly keeping mum anytime soon on the matter.

In his submission, there is more to the occurence that meets the eye. His take on the sad occurence is sure to have everyone put on their thinking caps as revelations and counter revelations keep pouring in. According to him:
These are still early days and the investigation is yet to commence but I do not accept the suggestion that some have already made that his murder was a random and isolated event. That is just too convenient a conclusion to come to and it seeks to cover the tracks of the masterninds of this heinous and ungodly crime. In any case many questions need to be answered.

For example, how come a former Chief of Defence Staff and a former Chief of Air Staff did not have any military personnel or security details guarding and protecting him? This is especially so given the fact that it appears that he was on a long distance drive on a road which has has proved to be dangerous in the early hours of the evening.

Badeh was entitled to that level of protection by virtue of his position as a former Chief of Defence Staff. How come he was denied it? Who withdrew his men? Who wanted him to be alone with just his driver on that journey? Who wanted him dead?

There are many other questions which we shall ask at the appropiate time. And one day we shall get the answers.

Meanwhile, I add my voice to those who have called for an independent and public commission of enquiry into this courageous and noble soul’s brutal assasination.


He is sure making a point, isnt he? why didnt he have security detail? Anyways, Rest in peace, Air Chief Badeh....

Buhari humiliated during budget presentation

It was a rowdy session today at the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly as the President Muhammadu Buhari was summarily handed the humble pie of crass disapproval as he presented the 2019 budget.

The booing and catcalls of "Lies!' Noooooo!' reverberated throughout the hall and got to a peak when he made mention of the fact that the Nigerian economy had been rescued out of recession, and that Boko Haram had been completely eradicated.

It got to a head and the president became irritated and urged the members to conduct themselves as the international community was watching the proceedings.


The session was abruptly brought to a close when it began to look like the security of the nation's number one citizen could no longer be guaranteed, and he was subsequently spirited out of the chambers by armed security men.

Many respondents whose opinions were sampled on the matter opined that this was the first time a serving president was greeted with such dose of dislike and ignominy. Most said it was a direct offshoot of the grossly incompetent and insensitive  stewardship of the present APC-led government. Joel, a researcher, said it was shocking that a leader could be booed in that manner. 'It has never been heard in the history of the leadership of the country', he said.

Well.....if this isnt surprising....then nothing is.....

Linda's blackmail of Sholaye Jeremi laughable- Friend

It is no news that millionaire blogger Linda Ikeji has finally come out with her take of all that transpired between her and how she managed to become pregnant without a man in the picture.
Amidst the reactions and counter reactions that have trailed the development, friends of the baby daddy, Sholaye Jeremi, have come out with a rebuttal of all of her claims, fending it off as laughable and spurious.

They have come out to claim that Linda only wanted to use the age-long female wile to hold the billionaire businessman down, whereas he saw her as a scratch to a one-night itch. According to his friend,

'Linda desperately wove an incoherent story of how she met Sholaye, in one breath saying he lived in a three bedroom apartment in Lekki and in another saying he was a billionaire further lending credence to the insinuations that she just wanted to be Mrs Jeremi by all means and crudely deployed old feminine wiles to achieve that but in vain.”

 What Jeremi and Linda had was just a fling – a typical case of boy meets girl, just that in this case, there was very desperate party. Jeremi was just out to have fun and there was not supposed to be any commitment or emotional attachment. But Linda had her plans from the moment she set eyes on him.”

“When Linda came up with the pregnancy tale and stormed his house crying and begging, Jeremi had to be diplomatic about it because he didn’t want to create a scene.
“He told her point-blank how disappointed he was and that if she was trying to lure him into marriage, she had another think coming. That was when Linda began to plead and blackmail him. Initially, she said it was a taboo from her part of Imo State to have a child outside wedlock. Later, she said Jeremi should just meet her father to assure him that he is the owner to save them from shame and what the world would think of her after she had deceived a lot of young girls about her pious life.”
“I am privy to the fact that Linda has been begging him to just accept paternity of the baby. And she herself confessed that she knew he was not in love with her neither did they talk about marriage but since she was pregnant, abortion was out of the question because of her age. Now, Jeremi feels used and I don’t know how the matter can ever be settled because what they had was not supposed to lead to this – it was more like a one night stand. So, all the emotion she is whipping up is to sway her gullible followers.




Hmmmm...this is sure an interesting twist to the tale. So, who do we believe now?

Alex Badeh shot dead

 

Erstwhile  Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh has been killed.

He was ambushed and gunned down by gun-wielding men along the Abuja-Keffi road while returning from his farm yesterday 18 December 2018. Two of his aides were also kidnapped immediately he was killed.

The late officer and defence boss was 61, and was commissioned into the Nigerian Air Force in 1979.
In the wake of the Jonathan administration , he was accused of diverting billions of naira meant for use in the war on insurgency, and has had a running battle in court, before his death.

The statement from the office of the Nigerian Air Force confirmed the incident and prayed for the peaceful repose of the officer.

Again, ASUU-FG negotiations fail

 Once again, the negotiations which was supposed to put an end to the ongoing strike by university lecturers through out the country has ended in a deadlock.

The president of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Biodun Ogunyemi, was seen with a drawn face leaving the venue as he declined to make any comments regarding the proceedings of the meeting. There were insinuations of a walkout staged by members of the varsity representatives.

But the minister of Labour, Chris Ngige, denied any walkout, stating thus: “we held the meeting and we even broke into an executive session and we discussed. We have already agreed on implementation and we have given ourselves some work plan”.  

He inferred that the meeting was still in progress and expressed hope that things would pan out well.



Hmmmm. I think there should be a meeting ground on both sides, with each side willing to make reasonable compromises. Two elephants are fighting. the grass is suffering!

Internet Fraudster runs amuck in Sapele

An alleged internet fraudster, Jeffery Otite,  known in the local parlance as  'yahoo boy', has reportedly gone bunkers in Sapele,Delta state.

He started showing signs of going nuts at about 6.30 am when he began to mutter incoherently and to behave abnormally when he stopped by at an ATM  machine to make some cash withdrawals at a UBA bank in the area.
He suddenly started yelling at the top of his voice, and drew the attention of a throng of people who surrounded the facility and began to chant 'Yahoo boy' all over the place.

The young man was alleged to have used his girlfriend to smoothen his operations online. She reportedly bled to death on her birthday.

He was whisked away from the scene in a blue Toyota car some minutes afterwards.



Occurrences like this have become rife in our society today. Our young men who want to climb a tree from the top need to realize that the only sustainable route to wealth is hard work, and not these quick fix methods which will only backfire later.

Atiku is at it again!

It would appear that the 2019 presidential hopeful, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has a date with the youth.
He has promised to appoint a minister of Youth who is not older than 30 years of age.
Speaking at te Town Hall meeting held in Lagos today, he said it was a promise he was making and there was no reneging on it. He said,
“I have pledged that 40 percent of my government will be youth. Let me assure you that it’s a promise and I won’t break it. My minister of youth is going to be less than 30 years.”

He further stated that since President Buhari has openly confessed that the economy was in bad shape under his watch, he had no business being there, urging the people to look beyond the All Progressive Congress in the oncoming polls in 2019.

“I know how to fix a broken economy. I know how to create jobs and I also know how to empower the youth. That’s the reason I’m here today - to give hope to you the youth that together we can get Nigeria working again.”


If this isn't what we are talking about! The man sure has his acts right!
Recall that recently he appointed a 35 year old, Abdullahi Maibasira, as his Prsidential Campaign council Finance Director.

MTN- God pass you!

The beep brings my phone to life

And like Sinach

All I see is You

Like Josh Groban 

You raise me High

Scampering from room to room

For the object of my quest

That voice of yours

Like a cool breeze in the Sahara

The mien of yours

A doctors prescription

After a hard days hustle....

Too alluring to be missed

Under the table, up on the shelf I grope

Cushion, throw pillows and cabinet 

All suffer ruffle

Eyes only for the gadget

Whose lights hold all the promise

Love has to offer: its that time again

Grace pities me

And there it is

Like Courtois, I make my dive

Where there is life, not a ball

And my oasis

Made bold to tell me

'Get 750MB on all recharges.....''

Group prays for Buhari at 76

Following the celebration of the 76th birthday of the president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerians have been trooping out en masse to wish  him well.
The latest is a group under the name Buharist Hangout, which gathered at the Millennium Park to celebrate the septuagenarian. The group was over 2000-strong and was drawn from people from all walks of life, and they held an event under the tag 'Love Feast and Prayer for Buhari at 76.'
The high point of the event was the cutting of the birthday cake on the occasion and the presentation of the sum of N283,000 to him to support his re-election campaign.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Dr Uche Diala said,
“We have a president who had a health challenge, but God healed him, and he came out stronger for us.

“This celebration today is to felicitate and identify with Mr. President because he means well for our dear country.

“We want him to return in 2019 to complete the good work and that is why we donated this money, which is a contribution by ordinary Nigerians to support his campaign,” he said.

The Special Assistant to the president on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina to whom the gifts was presented, was full of thanks to the group for their good wishes.
In his words,
“For people to gather here on their own to mark the president’s birthday in his absence is an indication that they are proud of him.
This kind of thing is not common in our political history, which shows that there are people who wish Mr President well against all odds,” he said.



Well, here is wishing Mr President many happy returns!

NYSC to accommodate NOUN graduates

 The news was greeted with a huge sigh of relief, as it was announced that students of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) can henceforth participate in the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The development was made public by the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly matters, Senator Ita Enang, in assent to the National Open University Amendment Act 2018.

Previously, the NYSC has been giving letters of exclusion to graduates of the institution, which resulted in outcry against what the students of the institution termed a discriminatory practice, but the assent has put paid to such dichotomy.

Internet Fraudsters nabbed by police

 

 Three suspected Advanced Fee Fraud criminals have been paraded by  the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC).  They were handed over to them by the operatives of the Intelligence Response Team of the police.
The suspects who are aged averagely between 22 and 29 years, were arrested  in Ilesha, Osun State and were handed over to the anti-graft agency for further investigation. This was on the heels intelligence gathering by the police operatives. The primary findings showed that they engage in scamming unsuspecting  people while posing as ladies, to swindle them of their money. When they were apprehended, some fetish items, laptops and assorted phones were recovered from them, as well as certain documents being used for false pretence.


Recall that a Twitter user some days ago was lamenting on how he lost a juicy consultancy deal simply because he was a Nigerian. these impostors are really demarketing Nigeria!
