SHOCKING - NIGERIAN MEN MURDERING THEIR WIVES IN THE USA - ABIODUN LADEPO

"Yes I have killed the woman that messed up my life; the woman that has destroyed me. I am at Shalom West. My name is David and I am all yours.”

Those were David Ochola’s words during his 911 (U.S. Emergency Number) call to authorities after shooting dead his 28 years old wife, Priscilla Ochola, in Hennepin, Minnesota. The 50-years old husband was tired of being “disrespected” by his wife, a Registered Nurse (RN) whom he had brought from Nigeria and sponsored through nursing school only to have her make much more than him in salary - a situation which led to Mrs. Ochola “coming and going as she chose without regard for her husband.”  The couple had two children – four years old boy and a three years old girl.

Popular OAP, Toke Makinwa, who surprised many by having a secret wedding after claiming her relationship had hit the rocks few weeks earlier shared some of the wedding pix.

It still beats me how Toke claims her wedding was a surprise to her and that she had no clue. CLICKHERE.

She also wrote the following on her blog:

On the 15th of January 2014,  I got married to my lover and Best Friend. It was such an intimate event, I haven't stopped apologising to family and friends who feel slighted that they could not attend.  I really did not wish to keep it a secret, If anything we would have loved to have all our loved ones there with us but this was our registry and  so much had happened between Maje and I in the last 3 months. Plus, it was such a huge surprise, I had no clue. I hate surprises but I must say, this one knocked me out of my elements because i usually suspect something is happening. Hehehehe!  I am not fully over it yet.

Relationships are tough, people go through the ups and downs and we as a couple have had our share of that. Having a private moment was not to offend anyone, it was God's appointed time and No, I am not pregnant. Lol.  Having a baby is a precious gift from God and when that time is right, I am sure he will bless us with ours. Without boring you all, cos you mean so much to me, I have decided to share some of the pictures from the happiest day of my life.

Congrats Toke.....................

OKONJO IWEALA ABUSED THE IMPORT WAIVERS - NIGERIA CUSTOMS SERVICE REPORTS

Coordinating Minister of the Economy - Okonjo Iweala

The Customs says under the waiver regime supervised by  Okonjo-Iweala, more than 65 percent of  incentives on export were for  questionable goods 

In the last three years, Nigeria lost a staggering N1.4 trillion on import waivers – not N171 billion as claimed by finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala — and lost hundreds of billions of naira more as authorities recklessly grant import/export incentives on unapproved goods from rice to fish to kolanuts, with no significant bearing on the economy, the Nigeria Customs Service has said in a new document seen by investigative journalism outfit PREMIUM TIMES.

Comparing the government’s export grant to the well-abused fuel subsidy, the Customs said more than 65 percent of beneficiaries received the grant for goods not approved by the government, which ordinarily should be limited to raw materials, machinery and spare parts. 

TUKUR - AN ANTICLIMAX TO A TURBULENT JOURNEY

 

His assumption of office was as dramatic as it was chaotic. But even at that, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur believed that his rejection at home by the governors of the North-East, was not enough to stop his dream of leading Nigeria’s largest political party.

With President Goodluck Jonathan’s support, protest by the governors against his choice was irrelevant. The governors had preferred a former Acting National Secretary of the party, Dr. Musa Babayo, who hails from Bauchi State.

The governors carried their protest against Tukur to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, after Tukur had been beaten at the party’s shadow election in the North-East zone. Babayo beat Tukur by 14 votes to two. Governors Isa Yuguda, Murtala Nyako and Danbaba Suntai of Bauchi, Adamawa and Taraba states respectively, led the protest.

BILLIONAIRE (OTUDEKO) SUES BILLIONAIRE(DANGOTE) OVER LAND..........DEMANDS $48M IN DAMAGES

A Federal High Court, Lagos, on Tuesday fixed February 6 to hear a suit filed by Oba Otudeko against Alhaji Aliko Dangote and the Nigerian Ports Authority over a land dispute.

Justice Okon Abang adjourned the case at the instance of the counsel to Dangote, Mrs Fola Sowemimo, to enable her to file written statement on oath.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Otudeko, Chairman of Honeywell Group, had filed the suit in 2006 at Justice Ramat Mohammed’s court. He is claiming $48m against the defendants as damages for breach of contract over a 10.8 square metres of land within the Lagos Ports Complex, known as the 5th Apapa Wharf Extension.

HOUSE OF REPS MEMBERS IN ROWDY SESSION OVER LEADERSHIP CHANGE

  

ROWDY SESSION

Many members of the house of reps must be retired thugs as they haven't quit shouting at one another at any\ opportunity. A rowdy session broke out in plenary on Tuesday, during a debate on the disruption of a peaceful rally in Rivers State where a Senator was allegedly shot.

Trouble started when the House of Representatives Minority Leader, Femi Gbajabiamila, while making his contribution referred to the Deputy Majority Leader, Leo Ogor, as the ‘Deputy Minority Leader’.

WATCH VIDEO HERE

The comment caused uproar as members of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in House reacted angrily to the comment, while their colleagues in the All Progressives Congress, APC, defended their leader.

When order was eventually restored, the Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal cautioned the lawmakers to use their mandates in the interest of Nigerians.

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had restrained the House of Representatives and its principal officers from effecting any changes in the composition of its leadership.

The court’s order was handed down during the hearing on a case filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) against the House of Representatives and some of its members, seeking to restrain the Speaker of the House, Aminu Tambuwal, other principal officers of the House and its defecting members from taking any step “to alter or change the leadership of the 1st defendant (PDP).

JUSTICE FOR BRUTALISED WOMEN (PEPPER SELLERS) IN EJIGBO LAGOS

IT was a bizarre setting. A video clip that went viral on the Internet of two women, a mother and her step daughter, being subjected to unbelievable acts of torture and brutalisation for allegedly stealing pepper at a market in Ejigbo, a suburb of Lagos, should sicken us all. Stripped naked and subjected to a ritual of sexual sadism, the victims, identified as the wife and daughter of a palm-wine tapper, were seen pleading with their tormentors for mercy that never came. One of the ladies whose breast was mangled in the process of the torture later died a miserable and shameful death.

WORLD'S 85 RICHEST HAVE AS MUCH MONEY AS 3.5BILLION POOREST PEOPLE PUT TOGETHER

BILLIONAIRES - BUFFET & BILL GATES

 The 85 richest people in the world now have as much money as the 3.5billion poorest put together. The combined wealth of people including Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and the Koch Brothers has increased to £1trillion. And the top one per cent of earners are worth £67.3trillion - almost half (46 per cent) of the world's wealth, according to a report by Oxfam.

Critics claim the surge in inequality has been driven by 'power grabbing' wealthy elites who harbour close relationships with leading politicians.

"UPDATE ON THE TORTURE OF PEPPER SELLERS" - POLICE RAID OBA'S PALACE, TAKES NINE SUSPECTS INTO CUSTODY

JEGA DROPS BOMBSHELL - DON'T EXPECT PERFECT ELECTIONS IN 2015

PROF. JEGA

The Independent National Electoral Commission has said  perfect elections  are  not possible in 2015. It, however, assured  that certain measures were being put in place  to achieve success.

The  Chairman of the commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, stated this   when  the new United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. James Entwistle, visited him in Abuja on Monday. “We are not promising a perfect election in 2015 but we are confident that we will do our best,” he told Entwistle. 

But he quickly added that INEC  had  embarked on the training of its members of staff   “in collaboration with development partners’’ as one of the measures to achieve success during the polls. Other steps, according to him, are  strategic plans and reorganisation of  its  members of staff as well as “a retreat to finalise the timetable for the 2015 polls.”

JONATHAN, TUKUR AND A GOVERNMENT OF JEZEBELS - FANI KAYODE

FRMI FANI KAYODE

I must commend President Goodluck Jonathan for removing Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as National Chairman of the PDP and finally dumping him. It really is good riddance to bad rubbish because that man was a disaster to his party. PDP itself is bad enough but to have a self-conceited and vainglorious ancient dinosaur who is completely fixed in his ways, who believes that anyone and everyone below the age of 60 is still a ''young'' man or woman  and who sees the world from the prism and mindset of a 1960's Viet Nam war veteran that is still suffering from post-war traumatic syndrome was a disaster waiting to happen. This was a man that drove goodwill away from his party in the same way that shelltox drives away mosquitoes from a bedroom. As long as Tukur was in charge the continued demise of the PDP was guaranteed. He was not only a scourge to the ruling party but he was also a beautiful, eager and willing undertaker to it's long lost glory and a tremendous source of comfort and joy to those of us in the opposition APC. We shall miss him sorely and I must confess that he did a great job for us whilst he lasted. May he enjoy his forced and long-overdue retirement from public office and partisan politics and may he live long enough to see the PDP defeated and an APC President sworn in 2015.
