<b>Sometime in 2014, a young beautiful girl, Ms Precious, completed her university education and the National Youth Service Corps programme in Edo State. Precious, as she identified herself while nude in a video, decided to seek better opportunity outside Nigeria. She chose a booming beautiful Arab city, Dubai, as her port of future success. Precious convinced her parents to finance her desire to travel. Her mother had no option than to support her by processing the needed travel documents to her dreamland.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On August 28, 2014, the naïve, young and pretty lady was ordered to stand naked in front of a camera by one of the most notorious Nigerian sex slave and human traffickers in Dubai, Esther Nicole Otubo (pictured). The video recordings of this innocent girl were to blackmail her and other girls under her "PROSTITUTION BUSINESS EMPIRE" in case they refused to pay their daily dividends to her. Precious hopelessly agreed to Otubo's terms of engagement, as captured in the video transcript:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> What's your name?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> No.</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>Precious:</b> Yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Esther Nicole:</b> Who and you (sic) went for the swearing?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Precious:</b> Me and my parents</div>

This week, the video exploded on social media and exposed the sex slavery and prostitution of Nigerian women by their fellow citizens in Dubai. The Dubai Madams have, within the past five years, slowly grown into a profitable money-making adventure for these human traffickers. The business, according to sources in Dubai, is mega profitable, netting an average of $30,000 (about ₦6m) monthly for the Madams that camp these girls in sex units or three-star hotels in the United Arab Emirates, the centre of glitz and glamour where commercial sex by these Nigerian women seems to be in high demand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dubai has all the aura of a sin city. It's beautiful, sitting 52 feet above the sea level, the economic and powerhouse gate pass to Asia and the Middle East. It is a liberal rich city that accommodates and tolerates all creatures, great and small. Though its socio economy is controlled by rich merchant Arabs and middle easterners, Nigerian women have found a spot to syndicate their hospitality and human services in commercial sex, pimping vulnerable young girls they lure from their various Nigerian towns and villages to the Emirates' mega city.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEiY77aAZvlPfN0qDTQzToM5GHE8ccFmqYtBoTSdTsMHWyfghGg4FilXIJ5XKTD3HQpoUyvMBIbPJUEJSNo_Bw9ucGJYhkfFer9xbDQcgemxUnNcYfduDE4JyNC2UL9gH6w0fwJD92qP6gxT4gX6hpIQwJ_qRLcKWrQ=" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://punch.cdn.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Ebony.jpg" style="cursor: move;" /></a>Emeka Ugwuonye, an attorney, is representing Precious. Ugwuonye, through his advocacy group, <i>Due Process Advocates</i>, is in the lead to hunt and prosecute these Nigerian 'Dubai Madams' who are involved in the sex slavery and human trafficking of young naïve Nigerian women desperately but innocently seeking to better their lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ugwuonye and his advocacy group have, through their investigations, successfully identified some of these 'Madams' and their illicit and illegal business of importing Nigerian young girls to Dubai, with a promise of making lucrative money in the city, but only to get there and be subjected to commercial sex slavery and garnish their wages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He told me:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Jebose, I have videos of two different girls recorded under the most debasing conditions, naked and scared. What Nicole does is to videotape these girls in the nude and blackmail them into prostitution in Dubai. This woman is like none that you have come across before. She is a 'Madam' and a human trafficker. She takes desperate young Nigerian girls on a sex slave mission to Dubai or other Middle Eastern countries for prostitution. Before they leave Nigeria, she would first make the girls and their parents swear an oath at a local shrine in the belief that such would place a curse of sudden death on those girls were they to disobey her. The total amount she plans to get from each girl is about $30,000.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The girl is to become a prostitute, make money from her 'clients' and keep giving such money to the woman until she agrees she has received $30,000 from the girl. This Madam uses blackmail as an additional means of enforcing her plan. She would take a video recording of each girl, who would have been made to stand stark naked. She would tell each girl that if she failed to pay her $30,000 when she gets to Dubai or elsewhere, she would release the video tape on Facebook and would delete it when she eventually gets paid. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
These girls apparently agree to this. I use the word 'apparently' on purpose to raise questions about the voluntariness of these girls' participation in this. Ostensibly, some of these girls have not paid the Madam all the money she demanded of them. That must have been what led Madam to release that video on Facebook. I have seen videos of three girls in such humiliation. People forwarded them to me in order for me to use DPA to help track down the woman that is behind all this. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There are many, many Nigerian girls suffering under her control. These girls lack the ability to cry out. They are in slavery and bondage. We must set them free and we must have the 'Madam' arrested.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ugwuonye also identified a second 'Madam' in this Dubai commercial sex deal gone bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He added:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Madam Ann, which is the only name we have of her, has five girls under her control. Madam Ann lodges her girls in a three-star hotel while she would stay at home and offer them men in exchange for cash. After each girl must have slept with four or five men, Madam Ann would come and collect the money they would have made from them. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The hotels cannot be busted by the Dubai Police. These Madams change hotels like every two days to remain undetected. Any girl that stays in the hotel for more than four days would be expected to leave because of the slow sex seekers traffic. The hotel's members of staff may not know what is going on. So if there are steady traffic of clients in the hotel and to a particular room, after two days, the hotel would notice and ask the girls to leave. The only things they take to the hotels are sexy lingerie to entice customers.</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Earlier in the week, the police had reportedly apprehended the 'Madams' who had been on the run since the video went viral on social media.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>LAGOS, NIGERIA - Five Star Music has released an official statement on fast rising singer Skiibii’s rumoured death which sparked controversy earlier Friday.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the early hours of Friday, news filtered on different online platforms and top radio stations that the budding talent and 5 Star Music's signed act, Skiibii Mayana, collapsed and reportedly died in the label's newly rented apartment in Omole Phase II, Berger, Lagos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxj6ZnpNugvSqLotHl0EiVCqWSZVd7GrgSNghYbCunyNgdIh9LpaR1nAHecSYhmfSj739Tt9UTRJ_xmpf8KTZyCqIGcaFnexQ9xVAtQLT1ej2C1ei2MKnSxWiTLs9q0uNrHK5c2Y9V4xTn/s1600/Skiibii1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxj6ZnpNugvSqLotHl0EiVCqWSZVd7GrgSNghYbCunyNgdIh9LpaR1nAHecSYhmfSj739Tt9UTRJ_xmpf8KTZyCqIGcaFnexQ9xVAtQLT1ej2C1ei2MKnSxWiTLs9q0uNrHK5c2Y9V4xTn/s640/Skiibii1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a Press Statement released yesterday, Five Star Music confirms that "Skiibii collapsed, admitted" and added that he was "recovering in hospital".</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We the entire Five Star Music received with great shock the news of the demise of our artiste in the person of Abbey Toyyib Elias a.k.a Skiibii. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The wide spread rumor of Skiibii being dead that shook the airwaves and social media platforms this morning is confirmed false. The 22 year old talented musician signed to Five Star Music is fine and alive. Given that he had a minor health issue this morning, He collapsed and was rushed by his brother & his friends to a nearby hospital from where he was taken to a more equipped hospital by the intervention of the CEO of Five Star Group for further treatment. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Skiibii is currently recuperating at a private hospital, Please disregard negative information hitherto passed. Death is not something to play with. Kcee and Five Star Manager, Soso Soberekon, are currently in Europe on a tour. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On his suppose demise as confirmed by Five Star Music or the label's manager - At best, it was a miscommunication. The official social media accounts for future updates on every thing as regards the label, artistes and music are: @sososoberekon @iam_KCEE, @iam_emoney1 @iamMrSongz @Skiibii and @FiveStarMusicNG (on Instagram).  </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ASUNCION, PARAGUAY - An 11-year-old Paraguayan girl who was raped by her 42 year old step father identified as Gilberto Benitez Zárate, gave birth to a baby girl at a Paraguayan hospital on August 13th.</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gilberto who is married to the girl's mother, ran after what he did to the young girl was made pubic. He was later arrested and on interrogation, denied raping the girl and demanded a DNA test.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
News of her rape gained international attention after she was discovered in May to be pregnant at age 10 and was refused to be granted an abortion by the Paraguyan government.;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Paraguay has one of the strongest laws against abortion in the world. Amnesty International and some other rights organizations had called for the termination of the pregnancy of the little girl because of the psychological trauma she will undergo but the Paraguayan government maintained their stand, saying the 11 year old girl will be given the much needed attention for her to give birth normally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She gave birth by C-section to a girl that weighed 3.5 kilos (eight pounds). They say she and her daughter are doing very well medically.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>YENEGOA, NIGERIA - Former President Goodluck Jonathan and some top members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in a last minute effort to salvage the party in the State have pleaded with members of the party planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) today to have a rethink.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC in a mega rally scheduled for the Samson Siasia Sports Complex and which would have in attendance Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; National Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Rotimi Amaechi, Chief Timipre Sylva and Governors elected on the party's platform is expected to receive founding members of the PDP in the Bayelsa State into its fold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://sunnewsonline.com/new/dont-defect-to-apc-jonathan-group-beg-bayelsa-pdp-bigwigs/">Saturday Sun</a></b> investigations revealed that the list of the defectors which include PDP big wigs like, Chief Timi Alaibe, former Deputy Governor Werinipre Seibarugu, Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, Senator Clever Ikisikpo, Hon Nadu Karibo, Hon Warman Ogoriba, Hon Gini Angaye, former Speaker Nestor Binabo, Senator John Brambiafa, Hon Stella Dorgu, former lawmakers, and former commissioners in the PDP government in the state had rattled Jonathan and the leadership of the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jonathan who is said to be worried about the crisis rocking the party in the state which has forced some founding members to leave the party decided to personally intervene to stop the defection which is considered a huge loss to the party in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was said to have placed calls to some of the defectors especially his political associates to see whether he could convince them not to go ahead with their planned defection but many of them told him that they have made up their minds to join the APC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PDP Unity group made up of political associates of Jonathan and his wife, Patience, also pleaded with their members not to defect to the APC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Coordinator of the group, Mrs. Maria Ebikake in a press conference begged them not to abandon the party which they all contributed to build.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ebikake who frowned at some PDP members hurling hate speeches at the defectors said they should desist from such act as it would not augur well for the party.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are not oblivious of the most recent defections from our great party in Bayelsa State to the opposition party, APC. We cannot also pretend to be unperturbed by the planned cross-carpeting of more of our esteemed members today. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no doubt that some of these defectors are men and women of high political substance and pedigree that have contributed immensely to our past achievements. The PDP Unity groupappreciates that things had not been properly done in the immediate past within the PDP. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We recognise these seeming imperfections as reason for the decision of some of our valued members to think of shifting camp to the APC. We therefore most sincerely appeal to those who have left to return home and those about to do so to remain because truly Bayelsa is the home of PDP.</div>

Ogun Sacks Six Over "Offensive" Examination Question

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

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ABEOKUTA, NIGERIA - The Ogun State Government has fired at least six officials of its Ministry of Education over an "offensive" Senior School English Language summary passage which formed part of questions set by an examiner.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An examiner, Adegbenro Joel, was alleged to have prepared the English Language exams questions for the third term academic session of the State Unified Examination in public secondary schools.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The exam had a summary passage that took a critical look at the alleged negligence of education by government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The controversial summary passage read: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is no arguing about the fact that the government is merely paying lip service to the development of education. It is true that a lot of money is being spent on education sector but, with little or no impact felt by the people, except where we want to deceive ourselves. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many schools run by the government which were formally known for academic excellence have suddenly lost their prestige and are living on past glory. No wonder many parents and guardians are threateningly left with only one option, to withdraw their wards from these schools to other ones that are better managed.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Governor Ibikunle Amosun reportedly got infuriated after his attention was called to the passage, and allegedly ordered the sacking of the officials of the ministry directly in charge of that examination.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reliable government sources said those fired over the development include an acting Permanent Secretary, Folashade Oresegun; three Directors including, Ganiyu Odunsi, and a Deputy Director, curriculum and evaluation, simply identified as Mr. Majekodunmi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The examiner, who is a teacher at Mayflower School, was also sacked, our sources said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other sources said the dismissal of Messrs Oresegun and Odunsi was later converted to compulsory retirement while the four other affected officials remain dismissed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When contacted, the Secretary to the State Government, Taiwo Adeoluwa, said he was not competent to comment on the matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "the issue is a civil service matter, the best person to comment is the state Head of Service. Please call Head of Service".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But when contacted, the Head of Service, Modupe Adekunle, said: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am aware that not all of them were dismissed, some were terminated, some compulsorily retired. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the issue came up, the state government put in the necessary process, a panel was set up to investigate and based on their recommendations, the civil service commission has to decide. It is a decision that has been related to the affected officers. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The normal process was that a panel was set up, the report forwarded to the Civil Service Commission for the civil servants, the Teaching Service Commission, for the teachers. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The decision was in line with the civil service rule, due process was followed to the letter.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>EDE, NIGERIA - The management of Adeleke University, Ede, Osun State, has offered to give a scholarship to the 18-year-old admission seeker allegedly raped by a part-time lecturer of the University of Lagos, Mr. Akin Baruwa.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The institution became concerned about <a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2015/08/read-how-and-why-unilag-lecturer-raped.html">the fate of the girl following series of PUNCH reports detailing the girl's experience</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://www.punchng.com/feature/super-saturday-crime/adeleke-university-offers-rape-victim-scholarship/">The PUNCH</a></b> correspondent contacted the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Oluwole Amusan, who confirmed this on Wednesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The university don explained that the institution decided to take the step because the management was moved by the plight of the girl, who was allegedly raped in the course of her quest for a university education.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The VC said: "Giving out scholarships to indigent students is not new to us. Our founder had a foundation whose existence preceded the university, through which scholarships were given to students.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Since the university was established four years ago, the tradition has continued."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the VC, the scholarship would cover the four-year duration of Mass Communication, which the girl has chosen to study, a course which <a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2015/08/randy-lecturer-who-raped-admission.html">UNILAG has said she was not qualified for with her 211 score in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said it has not been determined whether the scholarship would be full or partial since he had not yet interacted with the father of the victim.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With a student population of over 1,000, one-fifth of Adeleke University undergraduates are on scholarship, it was learnt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The father of the alleged rape victim, told <i>The Punch</i> correspondent that he had been contacted by the institution to come to the university.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I was so happy when I was contacted. May God bless you so much for seeing the case through. I am so happy. Such scholarship would be a big blessing to my daughter", he said.</div>

<b>LAGOS, NIGERIA - Nemesis seems to have caught up with an alleged rapist as his victim reportedly fought back to bite off his "instrument of office".</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to <b>P.M News</b>, a girl who was being sexually abused fought back her tormentor by biting off his penis. From the pictures, the girl in question bit off the penis cap. According to the report, an unnamed couple went to a friend's house in Lagos. A few hours later, the lady ran out screaming for help, saying she had been raped.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Few minutes later, the man, with blood all over his body, also ran out crying for help. The girl's body was stained in blood so also her clothes and she had to be given another cloth to cover her nakedness. The neighbors paid attention to the boy when they saw his chopped off manhood. He was rushed to the hospital where the doctor demanded for the missing cap that was left at the scene of the incident.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was recovered by the people and the doctor stitched it despite the discovery of the death of the cap. The injured boy is still lying in the hospital receiving treatment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another reports says he had already finished raping the girl and it was when he decided to forcefully make her give him a blow-job that she struck.</div>

Ooni Sijuwade, June 12 And Why I Called Obasanjo A Judas - Awujale

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNOQ__swPoR4_Dnq48PRQ2mJ3Ax4AkwMq8WMr8zt8sZ5cIHIzyiIlgk0VjYcTkoQwu0DuCVTXz1Ii9HPavDqBHTzbdL0DcmDK0_cBDeDUCqmEyIxjKpXteVNenVnfaGvVMCxoZoxDKeyK/s1600/Ooni+with+Abiola.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="482" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNNOQ__swPoR4_Dnq48PRQ2mJ3Ax4AkwMq8WMr8zt8sZ5cIHIzyiIlgk0VjYcTkoQwu0DuCVTXz1Ii9HPavDqBHTzbdL0DcmDK0_cBDeDUCqmEyIxjKpXteVNenVnfaGvVMCxoZoxDKeyK/s640/Ooni+with+Abiola.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>IJEBU-ODE, NIGERIA - The late Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade's role in the aftermath of the annulment of the 1993 presidential election is widely thought to have been less than noble. In <i>Awujale</i>, the recently released autobiography of Oba Sikiru Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland, Sijuade's connivance with those who annulled the election is brought into sharp focus.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His position as the most revered traditional ruler in Yorubaland has not innoculated Oba Okunade Sijuade Olubuse II, the Ooni of Ife, from public scorn. Since 1993, much of the mystique around him has been eroded, largely through the carnage sparked by the controversial annulment of the 1993 presidential election, a.k.a June 12. Oba Sijuade came out of the annulment saga with grave reputational injuries from which he is yet to, and may not, recover, given the decision of Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the Awujale of Ijebuland, to re-invite public attention to Sijuwade's role in one of the most grotesque episodes in Yoruba and Nigerian history.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The medium chosen by Oba Adetona is <i><b>Awujale</b></i>, his recently released autobiography, in which the 11th chapter is dedicated to the annulment and the struggle for the de-annulment of the election won by the late Chief M.K.O Abiola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In <b><i>Awujale</i></b>, Adetona presents what can hardly be described as a worm's eye view. And in the book, the Ooni does not come out smelling like roses. As one of the most prominent Yoruba traditional rulers, Adetona was regularly invited to meetings with General Ibrahim Babangida, the military president that annulled the election and installed an Interim National Government, ING, headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the widespread anger provoked by the annulment and Babangida's ING contraption raged, the former military president hoped to limit the damage to his reputation and that of his government, appealing to leaders from all the country's geo-political zones, especially the South-West, which felt wounded because of Abiola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For one of those meetings in Abuja, writes Adetona in <i><b>Awujale</b></i>, he arrived on a Thursday. The meeting was to hold the next day. While in his hotel room on the day of arrival, Adetona called the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, to say that there was a need for a meeting of Yoruba traditional rulers, where they could arrive at a common position to be presented at the next day's meeting with Babangida. Adeyemi agreed. Adetona then suggested that there was also a need to inform the Ooni and asked Adeyemi to accompany him to Sijuwade's room.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adeyemi, however, was not keen because of the rivalry, over superiority, between him and the Ooni. Eventually, he gave in. The late Oba Adeyinka Oyekan, Oba of Lagos, was also informed. He agreed that a meeting was required, but refused to accompany them to the Ooni's suite. However, he said he would support whatever position the meeting adopted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the Ooni's suite, Adetona and Adeyemi met the Ife monarch dining with (now late) Alhaji Ado Bayero, Emir of Kano. Another Yoruba monarch, Oba Frederick Aroloye, the Owa of Idanre, writes Adetona, sat in a corner. When the two dining monarchs finished their meals, they went into the Ooni's room for a discussion, after which the Ooni came out to meet Adetona and Adeyemi.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
When we told the Ooni the purpose of our meeting, he said he had met the Northern Emirs. Their position was the same as ours. We asked how and he said that they wanted a fresh meeting to be called of the Council of State along with us. The Council of State, as enshrined in the constitution, has powers to advise the President, Adetona writes.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But what the Northern traditional rulers wanted was not exactly what the Yoruba monarchs wanted.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Our mandate from the Yorubas was that the election had been concluded and our son was clearly the winner. So, all we wanted was that they should just simply release the results, the author explains.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adetona then insisted that if a Council of State meeting was to be called, it should be for the purpose of ensuring that the election was de-annulled and the wish of the people respected. The Ooni agreed. But the Alaafin, writes Adetona, said there was no need for another meeting because the key members of the Council had already expressed their opposition to the annulment.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Adetona and the Alaafin left the Ooni, they went to discuss seating arrangements for the next day's meeting with the other Yoruba traditional rulers. Apparently suspicious that the Ooni could switch positions, the monarchs agreed that they would sit in a way that would ensure that the Ife monarch was hemmed between two of them "so as to forestall any wavering of position".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The planned sitting arrangement was foiled. As the traditional rulers walked into the venue of the meeting, they found seats that bore each attendee's name. Babangida came in, explained the position of the government and sought reactions from his audience. The first came from Ibrahim Dasuki, then Sultan of Sokoto, who said very little apart from accusing the government of using traditional rulers to quell crises brought upon the nation by the government itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He suggested that Babangida should invite members of the Council of State to join the traditional rulers in the discussion of the annulment. The Ooni was the next to speak and presented the position of the Yoruba obas: declaration of Abiola as the winner.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was something the meeting had not expected. "You could have heard a pin drop", writes Adetona. Next was Bayero, who expressed no opposition to what the Ooni said, but called for a fresh Council of State meeting. After him spoke the Oba of Benin, who condemned the annulment and rejected calls for a Council of State meeting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The natural rulers continued turning the heat on Babangida. According to Adetona, Gbong Gwon Jos, the late Chief Fom Bot, told the meeting that he could not return to his domain if Babangida did not to de-annul the election, as his subjects had demanded, and asked the former president to find accommodation for him in Abuja. A traditional ruler from the South-East, Adetona writes, was more dramatic, telling Babangida to quit as president. "Please go. Please go", he shouted.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then Babangida cut in, explaining that the decision to annul or de-annul was not solely his, but that of the military heirachy. He kept on calling on others to speak, but the obas observed that he was calling only people who sat to his right. The obas sat to his left. This drew a protest from the Alaafin, who Babangida was forced to ask to speak.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Oyo monarch insisted that another Council of State meeting was needless because the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, a member, was out of the country, while some other key members had expressed their disapproval of the annulment in the media. Other traditional rulers told Babangida that he should save the country from a huge crisis by respecting the wishes of Nigerians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then, Babangida attempted one more throw of the dice. In a somewhat emotional tone, he told the meeting how close he and Abiola were. His government, he added, had paid Abiola hefty debts owed him by previous regimes. The sum, Babangida said, was about $600million. The scent of money scrambled a particular royal head - the Ooni's.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
When he heard this piece of information, the Ooni became angry and said something to the effect that if Babangida paid him (Ooni) that much, he would be living on the Island of Capri in Italy, Adetona writes.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sijuade then got up to go to the toilet. Adetona followed, spewing criticisms at his fellow Oba for going against what the Yoruba traditional rulers had agreed on. After the meeting, watched by Uche Chukwumerije, Information Secretary in the Interim National Government, the Ooni told journalists that he was in support of Babangida's position that a fresh election should be held and that the Obas should return to their domains and tell their people to prepare for the election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adetona thought he had not heard Ooni right. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
To assure myself that what I heard was true, I invited one of the reporters, who was there when the Ooni was speaking to my room. This was a reporter from <i>The Nigerian Tribune</i>. Fortunately, the Alaafin was with me when the reporter played the tape for us. We were stunned, the Awujale writes.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From his hotel room, the Ooni called Adetona on the intercom and announced gleefully that he had told the world (through the media) of the Yoruba position. Adetona replied that he was not sure that Sijuwade's claim was correct. Adetona, accompanied by the Alaafin and the reporter, went over to Sijuwade's room. The Ooni repeated his claim that he presented the Yoruba position to the press.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was instantly put to shame, when the reporter was asked to play his tape, which contained the opposite of Ooni's claim. Adetona and the Alaafin then pressured Ooni into granting another interview, restating the position of the Yoruba. He did and the reporter was asked to take the interview to media houses for publication the next day. The interview was published by newspapers the next day, but Chukwumerije had caused the first interview to be used on the network news of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the book, the Awujale was unsparing in his attack on former Nigerian leader, Olusegun Obasanjo. He described him as a Judas, "who would betray his people", who lacks credibility and squandered "the enormous goodwill", which he carried into office "with a performance that left him with a second term short of tangible achievements."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oba Adetona recalled an event on 24 July 2002, the late Abraham Adesanya's 80th birthday in Ijebu-Igbo, Ogun State, when in a ride with Obasanjo to a makeshift helipad he told Obasanjo how disappointed he had become over Obasanjo's pussy-footing on the issue of federalism. "This was the dividing line for me in our relationship", Awujale recalled.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adesanya's birthday presented an opportunity for him to tell Obasanjo how he felt about him, when they rode together in a Mercedes Benz limousine, with former Ogun governor, Olusegun Osoba, as witness.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
It was going to be a short trip but I had something to say and so it had to be said quickly enough while the three of us shared some privacy. I said there was a time when I had trusted Obasanjo so much so that I could swear by his name, but that the trust was now gone. Obasanjo asked why. I answered that Obasanjo was no longer credible. </blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Oba recalled further in the book, that at another time when he visited Obasanjo in Aso Rock, Obasanjo revisited their earlier conversation during which he told the Awujale, accusatorily, that he painted him a Judas. Awujale reconfirmed the labeling according to his account.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
I told him that I not only remembered but still maintained that he was a Judas who would betray his people…I had no qualms about speaking plainly to him. In high office, people who surround leaders tend to skirt around the truth, Awujale wrote.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Awujale was clearly not impressed by Obasanjo's tenure as Nigeria's leader. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
Eight years in office was ample time to put electricity on a very strong footing. Eight years was enough to put down a strong foot against corruption and make a clear difference. Eight years was adequate for orderliness and the rule of law to triumph in every facet of our society. These were the basis upon which I gave my support for the office, he submitted.</blockquote>
