BURNA BOY is a Fugitive, he is under criminal Investigation – Lagos State Police Command
Musician has no hiding place, must turn himself in, accused of ‘flirting’ with a married woman’, police escorts fire gun at fun-loving Night Club – Force Headquarters ready to alert INTERPOL to tracks artist movement
“Burna Boy was in the VIP section of Club Cubana with three women when he spotted another ‘married woman’ in the company of her husband. The Grammy Award-winning artiste told Inspector Ibrahim, one of his police escorts to invite the ‘married woman’ to come join him.
This gesture annoyed the lady’s husband, who lambasted Burna Boy, saying it was disrespectful for any man to make advances at a ‘married woman’.
After some minutes, Burna Boy made advances towards the ‘married woman’ again, a development that infuriated her husband and his friends who had gathered at the club and the matter soon degenerated.
During the heated moment, Inspector Ibrahim brought out his service pistol and released fire multiple times as the musician laughed aloud non-stop” – Eye Witness
Akeredolu Mourns Edo Highlife Musician Ambassador Joseph Osayomore
Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu,SAN, has described the death of popular Edo State highlife Musician, Ambassador Joseph Osayomore as a great loss to the country.
Governor Akeredolu maintained that the late Musician was full of originality with didactic message that addressed societal challenges.
The Governor commiserated with the family of the deceased as well as the government and the people of Edo State.
“Like a prophet, late Osayomore seemed to have seen the future. Despite many decades of his soulful tunes, his songs still reflects today’s realities and happenings.
Most of his songs will remain evergreen in the hearts of Nigerians. It mirrors today’s reality and depicts the helpless situation we have found ourselves. One remembers especially the lyrics of one of the songs of the late musician thus:
“When there is life There is hope
No man wey no know No man wey no sabi
When there is life There is hope
African man dey suffer long long time ooooo E no hard like dis E no bad like dis”
“The lyrics of the late Osayomore resonates with the present happenings in the country. The song highlighted the plight of an African man in the face of the daunting challenges. Particularly, insecurity.
“As we mourn this talented highlife Musician, we thank God for using him to speak to the people. He has played his own part of the endless life orchestra; he has departed. His work, speaks for him.” The Governor said.
Bandits Kidnap Anglican Bishop Aderogba, Wife & Driver In Oyo
Suspected armed bandits have abducted Bishop of Anglican Diocese, Jebba, Kwara State, Rt. Rev. Aderogba, alongside his wife and driver on Oyo/Ogbomoso expressway, on Sunday.
The victims were said to be on their way to Yewa in Ogun state when the incident happened.
When contacted, the Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the abduction
Investigation however, revealed that the abductors forced their vehicle to stop on motion before they were forced to enter another stationed vehicle.
It was further learnt that they were yet to establish link with the relations of their abductees.
Confirming the incident, the Police image maker said the command had launched manhunt for the suspected kidnappers.
Terrorists Can’t Attack My Church, I Will Tear Them Into Pieces — Oyedepo
General overseer of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo has continued condemning the attack on a church in Owo, Ondo State by gunmen, saying his church cannot be attacked.
Gunmen killed no less than 40 persons during an attack on St Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State on June 5.
Oyedepo had earlier last week joined the public in condemning the incident.
However, at the church’s headquarters on Sunday, he dared terrorists to come to his church and see what becomes of them.
“Since these wicked devils showed up in Nigeria, not once have they succeeded to do havoc in our church. Not once!” He said.
“There is no madness that does not recognise fire. This is not by mouth, this is Jesus in the midst of His people. Can you imagine a dog going to rob a lion’s house?
“They say where are you going? He said I am a mad dog, I am going to deal with that lion today. Have you seen that before? They saw a banner and they said this is fire. Till Jesus returns, no demonic Fulani, no Islamite will enter our church.
“If they don’t die at entry, I am not sent by God. Under this covering, as ordained by God, come to church and relax, let me see that devil who will dare your coming in or going out. Look up, the lion is here. He will tear you to pieces.”
Let me make myself clear from the get-go. It is wrong for General Buhari alone to singlehandedly pick the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress. It is undemocratic.
However, his statement that he should be allowed to pick his successor is not just undemocratic, it is treasonable. Buhari works for Nigerians, not vice versa. Even if he can arm twist his way into picking the APC candidate, Nigerians will pick his successor!
And if his threat is predicated on repeating the massive rigging he supervised in 2019, then my response to him is to repeat what he (Buhari) said on May 15, 2012:
“They either conduct a free and fair election or they go a very disgraceful way.”-Muhammadu Buhari.
What nonsense is that? A man of low mentality, who has reduced Nigeria from the third fastest growing economy in the world on May 29, 2015, to the world headquarters for extreme poverty today, is now saying he will produce his successor as if the electorate don’t count?
Let him try it. But before he does, he should also remember what happened during #EndSARS. That was an unprecedented people movement sparked by government’s oppression of the governed. And if Buhari tries a repeat of the shameful rigging that happened in 2019, he should prepare for EndSARS part 2!
The reality is that Buhari is not even politically savvy enough to anoint his successor. Look at what happened in his own state. His nephews were defeated at the APC primaries. His in law was roundly trounced in Kaduna. In Kano, his aides were defeated. And in 2023, his candidate will be defeated by Nigerians!
Without the APC Governors, Buhari is a toothless bulldog. He can bark, but he has no bite. The real power in the party belongs to the Governors. And even they are fed up with Buhari. Their allocations from the federation account has been the worst in history under the ineffectual so called General!
But coming back to Bola Tinubu, why is he now subtly attacking Buhari and insisting that he must be the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress because he supported Buhari? Why is he sulking and agitating against Buhari’s stated intention to pick the APC’s candidate?
I really don’t get why Bola Tinubu’s people are complaining that Buhari can’t choose who the APC candidate will be. Who chooses who becomes candidate of the APC in Lagos? Is it not solely Tinubu? Who stopped Ambode from being re-elected? Was it not solely Tinubu? Did Ambode not pay for an All Progressives Congress Gubernatorial form in 2019? Did the APC not collect his money and refuse to refund him after Tinubu rejected him?
Did he not go and gather his brother Governors to beg Tinubu on his behalf? Did Governor Bagudu of Kebbi, who is the chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, not prostrate to Tinubu on Ambode’s behalf? Not that I support the imposition of candidates. However, what is good for Lagos APC is also good for national APC! Or should I say what is good for the Greece is also good for the Uganda.
I am a student of history. I recall clearly that Samuel Doe relished slicing the flesh of his political opponents while they were still alive. However, when Prince Yormie Johnson arrested him on his way to seek safety with the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group, ECOMOG, Johnson gave Doe the special Doe treatment.
So, if Buhari decides to give Tinubu the special Ambode treatment, history justifies it! Tinubu cannot expect Buhari to treat him better than he, Tinubu, treated Ambode.
If Ambode was the Governor of Lagos on October 20, 2020, instead of Sanwoolu, maybe the #LekkiMassacre of peaceful, unarmed #EndSARS protesters would not have happened. But Tinubu denied him the ticket. So, Buhari can deny Tinubu just as Tinubu denied Ambode. No one will cry foul!
Tinubu says he made Buhari President in 2015 and expects to be supported in 2023. That may or may not be true. But what is true is that Afenifere made Tinubu Governor in 1999, and he not only abandoned them, he also fought them. One bad turn deserves another!
The thing about Tinubu’s argument is that it is not about Nigeria, or her peoples. Watch his video in Ogun state while he was campaigning for delegates on Thursday, June 2, 2022. He said he made Buhari President and as such Buhari should suppprt him. He played the same emotional blackmail against his host Governor, Dapo Abiodun, saying:
“Dapo that’s sitting down here, could he have become Governor without me? We were at the stadium, they tore all his posters. Even the party flag, they didn’t want to hand over it to him, I was the one who brought it. If he wants to meet God at the right place, he must know that without God and me, he would not have become Governor.”
Nothing about what he would do for Nigerians. He is appealing to Buhari instead of Nigerians. So Nigerians should remain onlookers in his quarrel with Buhari. Let them fight and destroy their party the way they have destroyed Nigeria.
And the curious thing is that Buhari has not yet cheated Bola Tinubu, and Tinubu attacked him. Why did he not wait until after the primaries before attacking Buhari? Now, he has given Buhari an excuse not to support him. I thought Bola Tinubu knew how to play politics. I was wrong. Very wrong!
Look at his petty complaints? Buhari did not give me ministerial slots. Buhari did not give me contracts. Me, me, me! Like a spoilt child. Nothing about what Buhari has done to Nigeria, a country he met as the third fastest growing economy in the world, and is leaving as the world’s headquarters for extreme poverty!
Tinubu was not even ashamed to say that Buhari did not want to contest, and had retired from politics until Tinubu went to Daura to beg him to contest in 2015. In other words, it is because of Tinubu we are suffering from the worst government in our history!
And hear him! I deserve to be President because I made Buhari President and it is my turn. Look at the egotistical entitlement! Nothing about what he did or would do for Nigeria or Nigerians. What kind of cult language is that? That he made Buhari President is precisely why Tinubu should not be President!
Tinubu is letting tantrums spoil what could have been a home run for him at the APC primaries. How can you call a Yoruba Governor ‘eleyi’ to his face? Yoruba that love respect? Vice President Yemi Osinbajo must be dancing with his RCCG political directorate!
Tinubu is just behaving like Tonto Dikeh and Nkechi Blessing. Like a woman who was promised marriage and jilted and is now exploding and exposing the jilter. Buhari don buy market. He either builds another ‘other room’ for Tinubu, or marry him as promised!
When he was doing Ambode, he did not have mercy. Now that Buhari is doing him he is shouting ‘eleyi’ all over the place. First to do e no dey pain. Jagaban to to di jagajaga. It is just that he did not buy a form. If not, I would have said Buhari should give it to Ambode!
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan did not accuse Tinubu of betraying him. Akinwunmi Ambode did not accuse Tinubu of betraying him. Afenifere is not accusing Tinubu of betraying them. Yet, after a political lifetime of betrayal and backstabbing, Tinubu is surprised with the breakfast he got served?
Because of Buhari, Tinubu insulted former Presidents Obasanjo, and Jonathan. He insulted Yoruba obas. He insulted #EndSARS protesters. And after all he has done, Buhari wants to do him ‘I go chop your dollar’! Ah! Aiye! This life no balance ra ra!
Tinubu portrayed ignorance of elementary rudiments of power politics. If you want a reigning king to anoint you, do not remind him of what you have done for him. Kings hate to be indebted to their subjects. Instead, remind the king of what you can still do for him in future!
With what I watched in Ogun state, if the NDLEA perform drug tests on all Presidential aspirants, as recommended by its Chairman, Buba Marwa, I seriously doubt that Bola Tinubu will pass it. Nobody throws stones like that unless they are stoned!
Bola Tinubu fall my hand, as the young people say. How can he expect a former coup plotter, who overthrew a democratically elected President, to keep to agreements? Shagari was a Fulani Muslim like him, yet Buhari overthrew him. If Buhari could overthrow his own brother, who is Tinubu that he can’t betray?
And to further indicate his political naïveté, Tinubu proudly released a photo of him seating in a chair in a mosque, to greet His Eminence, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto.
But who is advising Tinubu? How can you follow Sarkin Musulumi, to a mosque and he will sit on the floor and you will sit on a chair? If you are too old to sit on the floor, like other Muslims, then you don’t attend with the Sultan. Or maybe you stay somewhere else until Jumat is over. Buhari also sometimes sits on a chair because of old age, but NEVER in the presence of Sarkin Musulumi!
The Queen of England is the official head of the Church of England. Her official title is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, AKA Fidei Defensor (Defender of the Faith). Even the Archbishop of Canterbury cannot seat in her presence, until she sits.
The Sultan is the spiritual leader of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs. That photo, that Tinubu is proudly displaying, won’t go down well in the North! It is like Osinbajo seating and Adeboye standing while both of them are having a one on one conversation!
Anyway, let me conclude with somewhat of a parable. Elections are very expensive in Nigeria. It’s not every time we will be paying for advert. Sometimes, we just buy free advert by deliberately shaking some predictable tables so that we will get an echo and the biggest media will carry stories that they’d have otherwise asked us to pay for.
If you don’t use this ogbon, you will just spend ₦1 billion, that you don’t have, buying up full page ads in papers and 60 second slots on TV. Instead of wasting money and energy, just create a wave and surf it until you get your message across
INEC Rejects Akpabio, Recognises Contender As APC Senatorial Candidate
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rejected the primaries which produced Godswill Akpabio as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in Akwa Ibom…
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has rejected the primaries which produced Godswill Akpabio as the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in Akwa Ibom North West senatorial district.
Akpabio, who stepped down for Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Presidential Candidate of the ruling party, at the convention of the ruling party, was declared winner of a senatorial primary conducted on Thursday.
The State APC Chairman, Mr Stephen Ntukekpo, had said he was directed by the party at the national level to carry out a re-run over alleged infractions.
According to the result of the rerun senatorial primary election, Akapbio emerged winner with 478 votes, while DIG Ekpo Udom (rtd), who won the first primary, secured just three votes.
But speaking with Daily Trust in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State capital, on Sunday, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Akwa Ibom State, Mr Mike Igini, said the commission would only recognise the winner of the primaries monitored by INEC.
He denied the claim that the commission monitored the re-run APC senatorial primaries, where Akpabio emerged winner.
“The primaries was concluded on the 27th of last month, so I don’t know what you are talking about. The one that was conducted was monitored by INEC and the report has been submitted to Abuja.
“INEC is not aware of any senatorial primaries conducted on Thursday (June 9) that was monitored by INEC, none,” he stated.
The REC also affirmed that the APC has no governorship candidate in the state, saying the governorship primary where Mr Akanimo Udofia emerged winner was not monitored by INEC.
LASG DISTRIBUTES E-LEARNING DEVICES TO STUDENTS OF COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOLS
As part of efforts to strengthen the Education and Technology pillar of its T.H.E.M.E.S agenda, the Lagos State Government has distributed e-learning devices to students of the newly established Comprehensive Schools in Lagos State.
The e-learning devices were recently presented to students of Wahab Folawiyo Comprehensive High School, Ikoyi and Ogunmodede Comprehensive High, Epe in the Lagos State Education District III to provide easy access to all academic materials that aid their learning ability.
Speaking during the presentation, the Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Folasade Adefisayo, said the devices have been embedded with various learning materials, including pictures of the 100 most important people in the world, to inspire the students to greatness among other useful learning items.
The Commissioner, who was represented at the event by Mrs. Lucy Omoaka, Director, Comprehensive Schools, urged the beneficiaries of the learning devices to make good use of them to improve their academic and vocational performances.
The Tutor-General/Permanent Secretary of Education District III, Dr. Olufunke Oyetola, appreciated the State Government for the laudable initiative, saying that the device will further make learning attractive to students.
She disclosed that by September 2022, 50 more Comprehensive Schools would have been added to the existing ones across the State, urging the students to use the devices judiciously in addition to being good ambassadors so that the government can be encouraged to do more.
The TG/PS equally advised parents present at the presentation to encourage the students to use the devices for the desired purpose.
In another development, Dr. Oyetola commended students of Junior Secondary Schools presently writing Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) as well as senior students writing WAEC at Lagos Island and Eti Osa zones for their conduct.
She spoke during a recent monitoring exercise to schools within the District to ensure that the examinations were conducted in a conducive and peaceful environment.
Some of the schools visited by the TG/PS and her team include Ireti and Falomo Junior High Schools, Osborne Schools Complex in Ikoyi, Epe Grammar School, Government College Ketu, Magbon Alade Community High School and Ibeju High School among others.
I Won In Kaduna On Muslim-Muslim Ticket, Politics Is Not Religious Business – El-Rufai
Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, says the “fixation” of Nigerians on the religion of political office holders is “pathetic and sad”.
El-Rufai spoke on Friday in an interview with Channels Television.
With the election of presidential candidates of political parties, there have been concerns about the religion of the candidates and their intended running mates.
Since the two major political parties — All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) — have Muslim presidential candidates, many people, including the Christian Association of Nigeria have asked that their running mates should be Christians.
Asked to react to the speculation of a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket in the APC, the Kaduna governor said the business of governance has nothing to do with religion.
He added that religion will not solve the problems of Nigeria, adding it is the competency of the elected leaders that will solve the problems.
“I don’t look at people from the lens of Muslim-Muslim or Christian-Christian, some of my closest friends are Christians,” he said.
“It was Pastor Tunde Bakare, a pentecostal pastor, who took me to CPC, not President Muhammadu Buhari. I’m very close to Pastor Bakare. I’m very close to many Christians.
“I don’t think the business of governance has to do with religion. I think we should look for the best person for the job. The person who will get the job done.
“I’m the wrong person to ask that question because in my state I picked a very competent and qualified woman as my running mate in the 2019 elections.
“But just because she happens to be a Muslim, people were calling it Muslim-Muslim ticket and they said we are going to lose. We didn’t. We won overwhelmingly.
“This fixation of Nigerians with religion instead of competence, capacity and capability is quite sad and pathetic and I urge you as the media to take religion out of governance.
I Am Proud Of Getting Zero Votes At The APC Primary – Pastor Tunde Bakare
Addressing a press conference at his Church on Sunday, Bakare, who had in 2019 said God told him he would succeed President Muhammadu Buhari, said he wears his zero vote with confidence
According to him, he remains fulfilled despite the zero votes because he did not compromise his values tailored towards a new Nigeria.
He said the emergence of Tinubu as the party’s candidate is a testament to his “significant contribution to to course of the South West and his labour towards the formation and establishment of the APC.”
Bakare while saying he remains “audaciously confident” that a new Nigeria is possible prayed God to bless the country with a leader that is not in love with money but justice and a leader not in love with publicity but humanity.”
“I therefore send best wishes to him as he proceeds to the campaign train towards the 2023 general elections,” he said
