<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A 40-year-old father of 3, Samson Ibrahim, has lost his life when he engaged a rival, Alaba Adeshina, in a fight over a girl. The incident happened at a local bar called <i>‘Lady Show Bar’</i> in Pako Idimu, a suburb of Lagos State.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to information, <b>Ibrahim</b> had gone to the bar on January 1, 2015, with some friends to celebrate the New Year, but he could not return back to his wife and children as he was injured in the 'love' fight that ensued and he died subsequently from the grave injuries he sustained.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The information has it that Ibrahim was not happy that his rival, <b>Adeshina</b>, was trying to woo his girlfriend and in an attempt to stop the intruder, a brutal fight occurred and he lost his life in the process. Adeshina reportedly stabbed Ibrahim in the stomach with a broken bottle, forcing his intestines out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Narrating what transpired that led to the deadly fight, the prime suspect, 34-year-old Adeshina said:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I had gone to the bar with my friends and brothers to celebrate the New Year. We were eating and drinking when I saw two ladies smoking at the bar. I admired one of them. My intention was to get acquainted with her and use the opportunity to advise her against smoking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But when I approached her, she barked at me and threatened to smash a bottle on my head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Later, she joined us at the table and was discussing with my friends. Again, as she made to leave, I followed her and demanded for her number. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Before I knew what was happening, a man came out from nowhere and landed his fist across my face, accusing me of trying to take his girl. By then, one of my brothers, <b>Segun Olowopejo</b>, cautioned me to be careful and asked me to leave the bar.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"As I was leaving, the man came again and smashed a bottle on my head. I was dazed at that point and cried out for help in pain. That was all I could remember until I woke up next day, to find myself at <b>Temidire Hospital</b> with bandage on my head and my right wrist.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I was advised to report the matter at the station because I was told that the fight escalated after I fainted. But on getting to the station, I was detained. It was at the station I learnt that the man I fought with was dead."</div>

Woman Beats Boyfriend With Bat After Dreaming He Was Cheating

<b>A 28-year-old woman allegedly hospitalizes her 27-year-old boyfriend after 'dreaming' that he was cheating on her.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Tanisha Keyes</b> was arrested by Dallas police after severely beating her boyfriend <b>Bishop Hayes</b> with a baseball bat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Authorities asked Tanisha what led her to commit the brutal beating in which she responded <b>"I had a dream that Bishop was cheating on me"</b>. Although as crazy as the motive sounds, authorities speculate that Tanisha is indeed telling the truth. Tanisha told authorities she had a dream of Bishop having sexual relations with another woman in their own bed, before she woke up and beat Bishop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, authorities believe Tanisha may possibly have a mental disorder. "Yeah she’s either mentally unstable or a crazy a*s b*tch" says officer <b>Ronald Harper</b>, "how can you nearly beat your partner to death because you dreamt of them cheating?" finished officer Harper. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tanisha will be tested for mental illness while Bishop is being treated at the nearest hospital. Bishop is currently in serious condition with severe blunt force trauma. Although being in serious condition, Bishop was somehow able to speak and was asked a few questions by reporters. When asked his opinion on Tanisha’s motives for beating him, that being he was cheating in her dream, Bishop responded <b>"sh*t I don’t even know what to think, you gotta be a crazy b*tch to beat someone for dreaming of someone cheating… but I actually did cheat a few days ago, but there’s no way she could've known about that so, I’m actually glad I cheated cause now it seems like I didn’t get beat for no reason. But she still a crazy b*tch if you ask me"</b>. After revealing that he actually cheated without Tanisha’s knowledge, Bishop became unconscious.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tanisha will be charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon and attempted murder and can face up to 17 years in federal prison for her crimes.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Contrary to a widely circulated hospital report on the internet, purportedly from Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria, claiming that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari, is suffering from prostate cancer, the management of the hospital has flatly debunked any knowledge of the medical report.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A statement by the Directorate of Media and Publicity of the APC campaign in Abuja yesterday described as disdainful, distractive, mischievous, fake and fallacious, the trending news report of the alleged prostate cancer condition of its presidential flag-bearer, being credited to a source from the renowned teaching hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2015/01/see-fake-medical-report-that-claims.html">The medical report which was supposedly gotten by some reporters of <i>NewsDay</i></a></b> alleged that the presidential candidate's medical situation was arrived at through a method known as digital rectal examination (DRE) in detecting the prostate cancer clinically.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The newspaper stated that, "As learnt by our team of investigative reporters, the DRE finding was indicative of prostate cancer, arc; Asymmetry of prostate gland. A nodule, induration of part or whole prostate, hard or woody consistency of part or all of the prostate, obliteration of the median sulcus in advanced cases, palpable seminal vesicles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The case of Pa <b>Muhammadu Buhari</b> is a serious medical condition, as it has gotten to the levels of that of an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA)," the newspaper alleged, quoting a doctor who would not want his name on print.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, debunking the story in its entirety, <b>Garba Shehu</b>, APC’s Director of Media and Publicity, said the report of cancer is untrue and condescending of its exponents, according to a <b><a href="http://leadership.ng/news/politics/402453/hospital-buhari-clean-bill-health">Leadership</a></b> newspaper report.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I have it on good authority that GMB (General Muhammadu Buhari) has not visited the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital in the last five years. So, how can anyone say that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last October, barely three months ago?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This is the highest point of political distraction, malice and mischief. The report was not only fake, but unfounded. I have spoken to impeccable sources at ABUTH, all of whom denied the report and also claimed that the letterhead used was not their regular one, and that Dr Bala Mohammed that purportedly approved the false medical report is not on the personnel list of that department," he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also, Shehu said sources at <b>ABUTH</b> disclosed that "medical report analysis only come from laboratory technologists and not medical doctors as handwritten in this particular case, stressing that General Buhari did not attend the hospital for cancer or any other ailment."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shehu also dismissed as figment of the imagination of "wicked and evil persons", <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2015/01/vanguard-editors-on-leave-why-malicious.html">rumour that General Buhari may travel to the United States towards the end of this month for medical check-up</a></b>, restating its earlier statement on Friday that Buhari was as fit as a fiddle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shehu, while dismissing the report as fabrications, however, said that "as a prominent leader of the opposition, many interests across the globe want him (GMB) over for political and diplomatic consultations," adding that the "invitation to the US may not be unconnected to this."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to him, "Pathology tissue biopsy was involved in the diagnosis that produced the results."</div>

Mu'azu, Others Misleading Jonathan, Says Edwin Clark

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi31PHP_PTnB3ofhptwyt5LBB18cX8piZltoplc2axlFJYrL5qWp2lDuvVJ5zu0EWh8gHhNFf9oadzml4OLTpS4uRdqg2B0NRBzAytZQdH4u6xfhXzJ3zJTJpy6t1n9SJOtC5gZIXblowpO/s1600/E+Clark.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi31PHP_PTnB3ofhptwyt5LBB18cX8piZltoplc2axlFJYrL5qWp2lDuvVJ5zu0EWh8gHhNFf9oadzml4OLTpS4uRdqg2B0NRBzAytZQdH4u6xfhXzJ3zJTJpy6t1n9SJOtC5gZIXblowpO/s1600/E+Clark.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A former Federal Commissioner of Information, Chief Edwin Clark, has accused the National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, of misinforming President Goodluck Jonathan on issues relating to the party.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clark was particularly unhappy with Mu'azu, who he alleged of imposing a former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [<b>EFCC</b>] , Mr. <b>Nuhu Ribadu</b>, as the PDP governorship candidate in Adamawa State.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said Mu'azu misinformed the President on the alleged popularity of the former chairman of the anti-graft commission.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking while hosting members of the Northern Youth Vanguard at his residence in Abuja on Saturday, the Ijaw leader said that he was also surprised when Ribadu visited him with an owner of a television and radio stations from the South-South (names withheld), asking for his (Clark’s) support.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, "Mu’azu and some people are misleading the President in the PDP. He imposed Ribadu on the people of Adamawa, saying he’s popular.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Two weeks ago, Ribadu came here with some people (names withheld) asking for my support. This is the same Ribadu that was arresting people indiscriminately when he was the chairman of the EFCC without following the due process. He was given a list with which to work with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"There is no justice. Those who parade themselves on newspapers are anti-PDP. Majority of them are working against the party and the President."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clark called on youths in the country to deny old men the opportunity to rule the country by voting for young and educated candidates in next month's general elections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He particularly urged them not to vote for 73-year-old presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. <b>Muhammadu Buhari</b> (retd.), who he said was "close to his departure lounge."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, "My sons and my daughters, I have gone to this very length to show you that the man called Buhari, you do not know him. You are knowing him at the age of 73. Why should they be supporting him when he wants to sleep?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Can the man stand firmly? I will be surprised that those who are catapulting him will not say, ‘ah, is this another game?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Anyone of us can go any time but Nigeria requires young men, young governors whose hands are not soiled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This is your country, we are building it for you. If you want to spoil it, spoil it. But for people like us who are waiting for boarding pass to rule the country for you, you will be in trouble."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clark recalled that as a member of the recently-concluded <b>National Conference</b>, he had observed that those of them from 70 years and above, "were at the departure lounge waiting for boarding pass. But when I got there, they couldn’t give me my boarding pass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"God said, 'you have not finished your job, you are one of those who added to the damage in this country. Go and repair it.' So, they refused me boarding pass."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He advised the youths to "Guard jealously your age. This is your time. Don’t allow a 73-year-old man who should be getting his boarding pass to leave, to rule you."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former Federal Commissioner for Information also knocked some persons who he described as "fish out of the water if they are not ruling."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On insecurity, Clark observed that people deliberately engineered the Boko Haram crisis to discredit President <b>Goodluck Jonathan</b> and later use it to campaign against him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking earlier, the leader of Northern Youth Vanguard, Mr. <b>Hameed Olanipekun</b>, had told Clark that they supported the continuity of President Jonathan in office, saying that they would not allow themselves to be deceived.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, <b>Amb. Aminu Wali</b>, on Sunday in Abuja summoned the Indonesian Ambassador to register Nigeria's protest over the execution, by firing squad, of two Nigerians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It will be recalled that <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2015/01/2-nigerians-to-be-executed-in-indonesia.html"><i>Nigeria Newsroom</i> reported 3 days ago that 2 Nigerians would be executed by firing squad on Sunday over drug related offences</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Solomon Okafor</b> (aka <i>Namaona Denis</i>) and <b>Daniels Enemuo</b> (aka <i>Diarrassoube Mamadou</i>) were two Nigerians among other nationals executed Sunday by the Indonesian government for drug offences at the Island of <b>Nusakambangu</b> in Cilacap, Central Java Province, in spite of appeals by the Federal Government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The executions were carried out despite persistent pleas for clemency made by the federal government, including the National Assembly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The executions had taken place against the grain of the excellent relations that subsist between Nigeria and Indonesia".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also strongly appealed to the Indonesian authorities to exercise clemency for other 12 Nigerians on the death row in that country.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Executed with them were two women, one each from <b>Indonesia</b> and <b>Vietnam</b>, two <b>Brazilians</b>, and one <b>Dutch</b> national.</div>

<b>Muna Obiekwe, the popular and controversial <i>Nollywood</i> actor passed on this afternoon in Lagos. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Muna Obiekwe was one of the most popular male actors in Nigeria, he passed today after a prolonged battle with kidney failure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Muna Obiekwe unlike other sick actors/actresses chose not to beg the public for funds but instead to raise the money himself. Sources claim he was organising a stage play to this effect, unfortunately before this would be realised the actor succumbed to the illness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After his death there was initial confusion over whether he was alive or not, this confusion came about when a fake twitter profile in his name claimed he was still alive but we can confidently and sadly tell you now that the top <i>Nollywood</i> actor Muna Obiekwe is dead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A grandmother has shocked her friends and family after revealing she is having a baby with her own grandson.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Pearl Carter</b>, <b>72</b>, says she has never been happier after beginning an incestuous relationship with her 26-year-old grandchild <b>Phil Bailey</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pensioner, from Indiana, US, is using her pension to pay a surrogate mother so they can have a child, reports New Zealand’s <b>New Idea</b> magazine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said: "I’m not interested in anyone else's opinion. I am in love with Phil and he's in love with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Soon I'll be holding my son or daughter in my arms and Phil will be the proud dad."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her lover is the son of Pearl's daughter <b>Lynette Bailey</b> – who she put up for adoption when she was 18-years-old.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When his mother passed away, Phil tracked down his long lost grandmother and they quickly fell in love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pearl told <b>New Idea</b> magazine: "From the first moment that I saw him, I knew we would never have a grandmother-grandson relationship.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"For the first time in years I felt sexually alive."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was during their second week together, after dinner and wine, that Pearl made her move.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I called Phil into my bedroom, sat him on the bed, and then I learnt over and kissed him," she added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I expected rejection but instead he kissed me back."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Phil revealed: "I wanted to kiss her there and then. My feelings were overwhelming.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I love Pearl with all my heart. I've always been attracted to older women and I think Pearl is gorgeous. Now I’m going to be a dad and I can't wait.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Yes, we get laughed at and bullied when we go out and kiss in public but we don’t care. You can’t help who you fall for."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The pair paid $54,000 (£35,000) to find a surrogate mother and buy a donor egg to inseminate with Phil's sperm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They placed an advert asking for an open-minded surrogate, and <b>Roxanne Campbell</b> applied.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Initially I was shocked," says Roxanne, 30. "But they’re a brilliant pair and I saw how much they loved each other. I know the baby will be loved too."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pearl said: "I am finally going to be a mum and not forced to give up my child. Phil’s going to be a great dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>State Secretary of the PDP, Ibiba Walter, who made the claim in a statement, said that the APC was yet to come out with a reasonable excuse for denying the PDP from using the stadium.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Chief <b>Davis Ikanya</b> had told <b><a href="http://dailypost.ng/2015/01/18/pdp-threatens-showdown-amaechi-blocks-use-port-harcourt-stadium-jonathans-campaign/">Daily Post </a></b>in an interview that the <b>Adokiye Amesimaka Sports Complex</b> was still under construction.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chief Ikanya claimed that on occasions when the APC used the new stadium for its rallies, the contractor had gone on break.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the APC Chairman advised the PDP to re-apply for permission to use the stadium, which he said might be considered by the state government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"There are venues for rallies. They have not used that place before. When the contractors were on holidays, they did not apply for the place. Now that the contractors are fully back, they are just applying.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"The Executive Governor, Rt. Hon. <b>Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi</b> wants to complete that stadium and hand it over before he leaves office.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Now the PDP is threatening that the Governor must obey them. You see, they have now turned themselves to governor of Rivers state.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"If you apply for something, it is either it is approved or not. You cannot take laws into your hands. This is why we are saying that the PDP is living above the Law. If they have applied for it and it was not approved, the proper thing to do is to reapply,"</i> APC said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, in a reaction, the State Chairman of the PDP faulted the Governor’s alleged action, arguing that the new stadium was built with public funds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He warned that if the State Government failed to voluntarily release the venue, the PDP might use force to secure the Adokiye Amesimaka Sports Complex for its presidential rally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obuah insisted that, <i>"Rivers State money was used to build it. It is not meant for Buhari’s campaign manager (Amaechi).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"It is not his personal property. They have used it for their own rally and their celebration. We have applied to use it for our own rally come 28th of this month but the Governor in his impunity has refused us to use that place.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"We dare him, come 28th, we are going to use that place. I have made official complaint to the police, the DSS and all the law enforcing agents. I also want all the citizenry of Rivers State to be aware of this.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"They have used this same property two times without any problem. We are saying for peace to reign, he (Amaechi) has to release that stadium."</i></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] seems to be affirming the popular Yoruba adage that says it's only a liar that would claim his witness is in heaven. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a <b>Punch</b> report, the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has said that the witness that could have nailed Gen. <b>Muhammadu Buhari</b> (retd.) concerning what he did when he was heading the Petroleum Trust Fund, has died.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Campaign Organisation, in a statement in Abuja on Saturday, said by saying that there was nothing amiss in the financial transactions in the PTF, former President <b>Olusegun Obasanjo</b> was only trying to cover up the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement was issued by the Director of Media and Publicity, Chief <b>Femi Fani-Kayode</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fani-Kayode said that it was therefore wrong fro Obasanjo, under whose administration he (Fani-Kayode) served as Minister of Aviation, to say that Buhari was a clean man.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former president had said that <b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2015/01/ifound-nothing-after-probing-buharis.html">his government found nothing against the former head of state when he investigated the PTF under Buhari</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Fani-Kayode disagreed, wondering what might have gone wrong or what would have made the former President to change his position on the issue contrary to the report that was submitted to him by the team that investigated the Fund.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, one of the directors of <b>Afri-Project Consortium</b>, who were contracted by the PTF as Management Consultants and Project Consultants, a man by the name of <b>Ahmad Salihijo</b> and the one person that could have nailed Buhari and that was in a position to indict him and tell the world all that he knew about the graft that took place at PTF, died under very mysterious circumstances shortly after the <b>Dr Haroun Adamu</b> report was submitted to the Federal Government when Obasanjo was in power.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Many people are asking whether this was a mere coincidence or whether there was more to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Finally it is curious that former President Obasanjo, an elder statesman that we hold in the highest esteem and under whose watch the Haroun Adamu probe of the PTF was conceived, commissioned and concluded, would come out and attempt to clear Buhari of all the charges made and issues raised in the report and give him a clean bill of health almost fourteen years later."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A Niger Delta activist and spokesperson for the Ijaw Republican Assembly, Ms. Annkio Briggs, has described the emergence of a former Minister of Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] in Rivers State as unfair.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said Wike is of the same ethnicity as the incumbent Governor <b>Rotimi Amaechi</b> he plans to succeed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Briggs, in an interview with <b>SUNDAY PUNCH</b>, alleged that other ethnic nationalities had been marginalised by Wike’s candidature.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said, "Look at what is happening in Rivers State today. Amaechi, who is from Ikwerre, is leaving power and Nyesom Wike, another Ikwerre man, wants to come and take over from him in a place where you have the Ogonis, the Ijaws and other people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Ikwerres cannot govern twice (consecutively). I don't care whether he's fighting for the President; we're all fighting for and protecting the President. The other ethnic groups in Rivers State are not happy that an Ikwerre man may take over from another. It is not that we don’t like Ikwerre people; it is not fair or just.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It is also not fair that some northerners like Buhari are pitting us against Jonathan, saying he is from the South-South and it is their turn (to rule); using all kinds of excuses to confuse the system," she said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Briggs also accused the All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate, Maj.-Gen. <b>Muhammadu Buhari </b>(retd.), of pitting the people of the South-South against President <b>Goodluck Jonathan</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She noted that the problems bedeviling the country could be linked to its ethnic and religious diversity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the activist, every Christian president has denied the fact that the country has religious issues. She claimed that the problems currently facing Nigeria were based on Jonathan being a Christian and from the South-South.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Briggs added, "If anybody is pretending that it is not along the lines of religious and ethnic considerations, that person is not being fair to Nigeria. Everything that is happening today in Nigeria, whether we are talking about corruption or lawlessness, is based on ethnicity and religion, as far as I am concerned."</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A Kenyan rapper by the name of Mwafreeka Mwaf has apologized for taking shots at <i>Ice Prince</i>, who is one of the top rappers in Africa.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his Facebook post, <b>Mwafreeka Mwaf</b> said he wasn't aware of <b>Ice Prince</b>'s status and popularity in the rap game in Africa. In an earlier post, Mwafreeka Mwaf took exception to Ice Prince boasting about an extravagant lifestyle on his track '<i><b>N Word</b></i>' remix featuring <b>AKA</b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After seeing the backlash, he promptly apologized 48 hours later. <b>"Just realized in the past few days that Ice Prince is a MEGA superstar. No disrespect but I didn't know. Anyway my comment on him seems to have made headlines in Nigeria"</b> he wrote in his Facebook post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Anyway to make things clear, I respect Ice Prince hustle as a rapper. 1 million people must be following him for a reason. What I meant by realistic dreams is I would understand if he rapped about cars like Range Rovers, Audis, Benzes, BMWs. Am sure he can easily afford those and be able to drive them in Nigeria.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"I just feel the Bugatti dream is far fetched. With its very low centre of gravity, does Nigeria have the roads to drive that shit on?? No disrespect to Nigeria but I think only South Africa has the infrastructure for such cars.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Also with 1 million followers, I think Ice Prince has earned enough mandate to TRULY express himself on other stuff other than girls and cars. (There's nothing wrong with rhyming about girls BTW ;))</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Still I would want to learn more about Nigeria through his music. One thing I respect about Nigeria is they are proud of their accent, whether in Kenya or America, a Nigerian speaks in his accent and proudly. Nigerians are so proud that even <b>Hollywood</b> treats the Nigerian accent as the African accent.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"In Kenya as soon as we enter the plane we develop a foreign accent etc</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"So with such proud people I think Ice Prince or any successful African artist doesn't need to copy paste the American swag"</i>, he further wrote.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In his initial post, Mwafreeka Mwaf criticized Ice Prince by writing:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Just watched a video by some Nigerian cat called Ice Prince and the song is called <b>N Word</b>. And am actually sad. HipHop to me has always been the avenue of self expression and as it was said (although misused too) in the 90s ‘Keeping It Real’.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"What’s up with Third World rappers acting like they from America talking about Bugattis etc. Call me a hater but What The F..k? ‘Understand the culture punks and stop embarrassing yourselves. Jay Z, Beyoncé and Lil Wayne can afford Bugattis, and you can’t. Fuck your UNREALISTIC dream, am shitting on your dream. Use HipHop to represent Africa not to portray us as clowns."</i> </div>

Jonathan Defies INEC, Deploys Presidential Jets For Campaigns

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY2MBVw9d2Aj_55uFehw6rsOZfh6GMYkThXZ4v-61kGP9EAcfgUwdU5t-RXeZ-Sm7c5-QH7w2bDB5cDzhUyUOn6S2ETevkCXkLxkz9QPn_sSpbBBeM0-vwzEP4nqkBXK0hCptRVzq1NxKl/s1600/GEJ+Lag2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY2MBVw9d2Aj_55uFehw6rsOZfh6GMYkThXZ4v-61kGP9EAcfgUwdU5t-RXeZ-Sm7c5-QH7w2bDB5cDzhUyUOn6S2ETevkCXkLxkz9QPn_sSpbBBeM0-vwzEP4nqkBXK0hCptRVzq1NxKl/s1600/GEJ+Lag2.jpg" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>President Goodluck Jonathan has deployed the jets in the presidential fleet for campaigns, while almost all state governors have been using the resources of their states for the February general elections, SUNDAY PUNCH’s investigations have shown.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few weeks ago, political parties signed a code of conduct, which states that the use of government resources for political campaigns is unlawful. The Code is a document prepared by the Independent National Electoral Commission in 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A part of the code of conduct states, “All political parties shall separate party business from government business. No political party shall use state vehicles or other public resources for any electioneering campaigns or any other party business.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But contrary to the code of conduct, since Jonathan commenced his campaigns across Nigeria, virtually all the 11 jets in the presidential fleet have been used for one campaign trip or the other.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Presidential Air Fleet include two Falcon 7X jets, two Falcon 900 jets, Gulfstream 550, one Boeing 737 BBJ (Nigerian Air Force 001 or Eagle One), and Gulfstream IVSP. Others are one Gulfstream V, Cessna Citation 2 aircraft and Hawker Siddley 125-800 jet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PAF is about the third largest domestic airline in the country, coming behind Arik Air, which has over 21 aircraft, and Aero Contractors, with about 12 planes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Senior officials at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja told one of our correspondents on Friday that the brand of airplane and the number used by the President to any state depended on the size of the airport in the state, the number of persons in his entourage, as well as “other factors best known to the Presidency.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Presidency on Saturday however said there was nothing stopping Jonathan from using all the paraphernalia of his office while going round the country to seek votes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said this in an interview with <b><a href="http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-defies-inec-deploys-presidential-jets-for-campaigns/">SUNDAY PUNCH</a></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okupe said there was nowhere in the world were incumbents are stopped from using their official cars while going on campaign trips.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okupe said, “I am not aware of such code of conduct. You can check anywhere in the world. I watched Obama’s campaign, was he going around in taxis or private cars? When the governor of Lagos State was seeking re-election, was he going for campaigns in private cars?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“A sitting President has all paraphernalia of office anywhere he goes. The same applies to governors. They are not ordinary citizens, so when you are contesting against them, you know you are contesting against an institution. There is nothing you can do about that.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I don’t think that code of conduct exists. So they want the President to be going about in one Peugeot 505 to seek votes? What about policemen? Are they not government officials? Are they not supposed to follow him because he is campaigning?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It simply does not make sense. If INEC had such a document, let them publish it for us to see.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
State governors are also not left out of using state vehicles and resources to campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Kwara, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed; his deputy, Mr. Peter Kisira; and a former governor of the state, who is currently the Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Dr. Bukola Saraki, as well as their retinue of aides have been campaigning with government vehicles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sources informed one of our correspondents that bills for party members’ mobilisation and logistics for the campaign were allegedly footed by the state government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Senior Special Assistant to the Kwara State Governor on Media and Communication, Dr. Muyideen Akorede, however said the state government was aware of INEC regulations prohibiting state governments from sponsoring campaigns.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Akorede said, “The APC is responsible for campaigns and all associated expenses. The flag off was funded by the party from members’ contributions, as well as donations by aspirants, their supporters and other party members. It is not true that the Ahmed administration funded the APC campaign.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly, the PDP-controlled government in Cross River has been campaigning for all the party’s candidates at all levels using government-owned vehicles. Some government vehicles have been seen in different parts of the state spotting the stickers of PDP candidates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A top government official who preferred anonymity said, “If you think they will not use government funds to run campaigns, then you must be joking. You do not expect a governor or even the president to appear at campaign venues with private securities and personal vehicles when they are in control of the resources. It happens even in the United States.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Chief Press Secretary to Governor Liyel Imoke, Mr. Christian Ita, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the governor would not drop his official designation because of campaigns.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ita said, “This debate had been on for quite some time now. The governor cannot afford not to be governor because of political campaigns.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Kaduna, the administration of Governor Mukhtar Yero is also using state resources to promote the members of the ruling PDP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yero at different fora boasted that the government would deploy both material and human resources to trounce the main challenger, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Nasir el-Rufai.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yero, at the flag-off of his 2015 governorship campaign, rode in his official Mercedes Benz E Class 350. He has also toured the 23 local government areas of the state with the same vehicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from fuelling and maintaining the vehicles, SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that most of the campaign vehicles, especially those acquired for the Kaduna State chapter of the Goodluck/Sambo 2015 Presidential Campaign Organisation were procured with state funds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A competent government source said, “Recently, about 30 vehicles were procured for the purpose of campaigning for the Jonathan/Sambo presidency. These vehicles are fully financed by the state government under the guise of donation from political associates.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also in Ogun State, since Governor Ibikunle Amosun, kicked off his governorship re-election campaign tours two weeks ago, his official Toyota Sports Utility Vehicle and about five other SUVs, including Toyota Hilux vans and other official vehicles, were in the governor’s convoy to Ijebu Igbo, Remo North, Imekon Afon, Ewekoro and Ijebu North East Local Government Areas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, however said the only official vehicles on the campaign train were those of the governor and that of the security agents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, “Whoever is saying the governor is using the state resources to campaign should come and prove that. The governor uses his official vehicle and all the other ones you are seeing in the convoy are the ones bought by the campaign committee of the party, and they are appropriately branded and APC boldly written on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The other vehicles that join the campaign train are that of security agents. And I don’t know any operational rule that says the security personnel assigned to the governor should use other vehicles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“Again, there are vehicles that belong to friends of the governor and those of individual candidates. Those of the candidates are branded in their names. So what are they talking about?”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Same is happening in Rivers State where the All Progressives Congress is the ruling party. Our correspondent reports that luxury buses belonging to the state government are being used during campaigns.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A party chieftain who pleaded anonymity described the funding of campaign rallies as an “expensive venture.” He explained that it would be difficult for any candidate to win without government ‘support.’ Efforts to reach the Chief of Staff, Government House, Mr. Tony Okocha, to speak on the allegation failed as he said he he was attending a rally of the party and promised to call back. He failed to do this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly, the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Godswill Akpabio, does not pretend that he is supporting the state Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, in every way he can.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The governor has boasted that if an incumbent governor does not support any aspirant during elections, such aspirant is bound to be defeated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Twenty-two aggrieved PDP governorship aspirants in the state had alleged that the governor spent N1.2bn to secure delegates’ votes for Emmanuel.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the delegates in the PDP governorship primary said, “Apart from making government vehicles and buildings available for the campaign, the governor has been spending a lot of money to ensure that his candidate wins.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC on Saturday denied allegations that it was using government vehicles to campaign in states under its control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Lai Mohammed, said this in a telephone interview with SUNDAY PUNCH.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He explained that he was not aware of any breach of the Independent National Electoral Commission Code of Conduct.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mohammed said, “I am not aware of any breach by our party. I am not aware that any of our governors is using official vehicles for campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We only hope that the law applies to all parties including Mr. President and the ruling party, we hope he will not use the Presidential jet on his campaign train.”</div>

Jonathan’s Govt Incompetent, Says Hafsat Abiola-Costello

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Founder of Kudirat Initiative for Nigeria Democracy [KIND], Hafsat Abiola-Costello, has said the silence of President Goodluck Jonathan over the alleged massacre of 2000 people in Baga is a clear sign that his government is incompetent in handling matters of national interest.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Abiola-Costello</b>, daughter of the widely acclaimed winner of the <b>June 12</b>, 1993 presidential election, <b>MKO Abiola</b>, noted that it was the same silence by the President that led to the continued captivity of the more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents in April last year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In an open letter addressed to Jonathan and co-signed by 16 other activists from various countries cutting across Africa, Europe, Asia and America, the <b>KIND</b> founder expressed deep concern about recent situations in Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She wrote, <i>"What is stunning about the two incidents is that while the world rose to condemn the killings in Paris, the massacre in Baga, the most deadly so far in Boko Haram’s four-year insurgency, has been largely greeted by silence. Most disturbing still for us, is that while Nigeria’s president was able to send a message to France condemning the killings, he has yet to address the Nigerian people who look to him for leadership.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"What can account for the silence of Nigeria’s president? Unfortunately, it would not be the first time. It was 40 days after the abduction of the schoolgirls in #Chibok before our President addressed the country about the incident. In the intervening weeks, it seemed that there was a question in the government about whether the abduction had even taken place."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abiola-Costello told Jonathan in the letter, <i>"Connecting the abduction of the Chibok girls to the Baga massacre, one wonders if there could be some question about whether the Baga massacre occurred? Amnesty’s report confirmed that the attack took place and that 'up to 2000 people may have been killed'. It seems that the army is contesting the numbers, suggesting that it was 150 people that were killed.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Whether 150 or 2000, it would be important to hear from the government on its efforts to secure the region, to bear witness to the loss of lives in Baga. Instead, there is a deafening silence. We have seen a clear incompetency in handling matters. In the context of existing ethnic and religious fault lines, silence only communicates the impression that Nigeria’s government does not care about the victims and is not dealing with the insurgency."</i></div>

<b>A man in India has been accused of burying his 10-year-old daughter because she was a girl.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Police say <b>Abdul Hussein</b> tied up his young daughter before burying her in the ground while his wife was out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Abdul Hussein allegedly dug a pit in his back garden while his wife was out and then put his daughter in the hole with her hands tied together with a rope and her mouth taped.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to reports by <b>NDTV</b>, Abdul Hussein filled up the pit to chest level and was about burying her completely when his wife came home. He had put a bamboo basket over their daughter's head, with the intention of burying her completely later.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The crisis in the Unity Party of Nigeria [UPN] has taken a new dimension with the Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC] dissociating itself from the recent convention held of the party in Lagos.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was contained in a letter signed by the Secretary of the Commission, <b>Mrs. Augusta Ogakwu</b>, a copy of which was made available to journalists in Abuja, on Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The INEC letter, which was addressed to the UPN Chairman, <b>Dr. Frederick Fasehun</b>, said a convention can only be organised with the approval of the party’s NEC, which was not the case with what happened in Lagos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The letter entitled <b>Re: Notice for National Convention</b> reads"</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Please refer to your letter dated 24th December, 2014 advising the Commission that your party’s national convention is scheduled to hold on 9th January ,2015.</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"This is to inform you that the commission is in receipt of another letter dated 5th, January 2015, under the signature of the UPN National Secretary that non-compliance with Article IV, Section 1:1 of the constitution of UPN in scheduling of the National Convention vide the notice of 24th, December, 2014.</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Having considered the issue raised in the said letter, the commission has directed that you be advised to comply with Article IV, Section 1:1 of your party’s constitution by convening a meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) to approve the place and time of the National Convention.</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Accordingly, your party is required to provide a notice for national convention that is supported by clear evidence of compliance with the relevant provision of the constitution of UPN which empowers the National Executive Committee (NEC) to prescribe the place and time of the Party’s National Convention."</i></blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The party had been engulfed in crisis, with a faction of the National Executive Committee suspending Fasehun as chairman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It appointed his deputy, <b>Dr. Manzo Abubakar</b>, as acting chairman.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, Fasehun’s faction organised a convention in Lagos on January 9, and appointed replacements for other members of the executive, in addition to endorsing <b>President Goodluck Jonathan</b> for second term.</div>

<b>A Nigerian man, Shola Rotimi Oluwole, has been arrested in Thailand along with his Thai girlfriend for allegedly impersonating another woman to dupe her foreign clients.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Chiang Mai Police</b> say <b>Shola Rotimi Oluwole</b> and his girlfriend, <b>Wannakorn Sukming</b>, impersonated the woman after stealing her e-mail password and duped her foreign clients into paying huge sums. The duo was arrested while they were withdrawing money at a bank in Bangkok.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the commander of the Provincial Police Region 5, <b>Pol Lt Gen Thanitsak Theerasawasdi</b>, after the 29-year-old Nigerian Shola Rotimi Oluwole and Wannakorn Sukming, were  arrested, they confessed to hacking into the email account of <b>Ms Acha Phatthong</b>, a 53-year-old owner of <b>Achara Silver Co</b>, which manufactures and exports hilltribe silver jewelries and accessories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shola Rotimi Oluwole and his girlfriend, Wannakorn Sukming, tampered with the account changing the bank account number for payments for orders to their own account number, so that customers would transfer money into their bank account instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pol Lt Gen Thanitsak said two foreign customers had transferred a total of 101,644 baht ($3,120) to the gang's account.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pol Lt Gen Thanitsak also said police were hunting for two other Nigerians who are members of the same gang.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Shola Rotimi Oluwole and Wannakorn Sukming have been charged with illegally altering someone else's information and stealing their identity under the Computer Crimes law. They have also been charged with fraud under the criminal codes.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Veteran CNN anchor, Jim Clancy on Friday, January 16, resigned his job at the network after a 34-year career.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clancy’s retirement came one week after he mocked pro-Israel activists on Twitter and used an insulting term for disabled people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>CNN</b> correspondent made the controversial comments during a discussion about the recent attack on the Paris office of satirical magazine, <b>Charlie Hebdo</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"The cartoons NEVER mocked the Prophet,"</i> he wrote. <i>"They mocked how the COWARDS tried to distort his word. Pay attention"</i>, Clancy tweeted on January 7, the day of the attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When questioned, he replied his challenger <i>"You and the Hasbara team need to pick on some cripple at the edge of the herd."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clancy announced his resignation in a statement saying:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"After nearly 34 years with Cable News Network, the time has come to say Farewell! It has been my honor to work alongside all of you for all of these years."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>“This is one of the greatest news organizations in the world. It has truly revolutionized information delivery while driving technological advances in how we gather the news. Through it all, CNN has been a family to my own family. That means something. As I reflect on all of the great adventures and achievements of the past, I wish you great success in the future," he added.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
CNN confirmed the resignation but said nothing about Clancy's Twitter rant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"Jim Clancy is no longer with CNN. We thank him for more than three decades of distinguished service, and wish him nothing but the best,"</i> a spokesperson for the network said.</div>
