GOV. OSHIOMOLE HUMBLES HIMSELF AS HE APOLOGISED, EMPLOYED AND ALSO GAVE THE WIDOW N2M



                                           
Click>>>>   Governor Adams gives the widow N2Million

Governor Adams Oshiomhole,on Monday gave the sum of N2million to  Madam Joy Oviengbede Ifije, the widow whom the Governor disgraced and advised to "GO and DIE" last week for blocking the  walkways along Mission Road with her goods.

Besides, the governor and his family gave scholarship Bright Ifije, the son of the widow in his education in order to help the family. The N2million was given to her to a rent a shop and set up a business so as to resist the temptation of selling along the walkways in future. Oshiomhole and the family of the widow reconciled Monday during a breakfast meeting, where the governor reiterated his earlier apology to the woman following his outburst at her, which he confessed was as a result of anger from the way traders and drivers are frustrating the state government’s efforts to beautify Benin City.

ENYEAMA SET TO BREAK RECORD IN FRANCE


Nigeria and Lille goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama will enter the record books if he can keep a clean sheet for just the first four minutes of his side’s match against Marseille on Tuesday. The Nigeria number one goalkeeper kept his 10th clean sheet in a row for the Ligue 1 side as they stayed second in the table thanks to a 1-0 win over Valenciennes on Saturday.

The 31-year-old has kept a remarkable 13 clean sheets in 15 matches so far this season, and needs only not to concede for the first four minutes of the match against Marseille to break the record of 948 minutes without conceding a goal. Interestingly, that record was set only a year ago, by Paris Saint-Germain keeper Salvatore Sirigu between November 17 2012 and February 8 2013.

But it could now be broken, with Enyeama having not conceded a goal for 945 minutes, since a 2-0 home defeat by Nice on September 15.

But despite the record chase, the player has been modest with his remarks on his current form. “I don’t count the minutes and I don’t let all the counting get into my head. My duty is to see that my team wins the game at stake,” Enyeama said last week after being named player of the month for the French league.

Enyeama was on Arsenal’s radar during the summer and in the early weeks of the season, with Gunners manager Arsene Wenger looking to bring in an understudy for Wojciech Szczesny, although Wenger has since appeared to cool his interest.

ROAD RAGE - HIT AND RUN DRIVER KILLS AND INJURES ONE IN LAGOS



A commercial bus driver, identified as Awe Idowu, killed two persons and injured another in a hit-and-run accident around Igi-Olugbin Road, Bariga area of Lagos State in Lagos on Saturday morning.

Eyewitnesses said it was like a horror movie. Idowu was said to have hit his first victim around Ladi-Lak, Bariga, but he refused to stop. Some commercial buses and motorcycle riders were said to have chased him and while he accelerated to avoid them, he crushed another motorcycle rider, Samson Akinwale, who was carrying a passenger around the Moshalashi Bus Stop. While the passenger had a cut to his cheek, 28-year-old Akinwale was said to have collapsed.

An electrician, Benjamin, who works opposite the scene of the incident, said he heard a loud bang and rushed out to see what had happened. He said, “It was around 11am. I heard a loud bang and rushed out of my shop to see what was happening. I saw that a commercial bus had hit an okada man (motorcyclist). The bus was half filled with passengers, while the okada man had a passenger at the back that had fallen to the ground. I saw that the okada rider was under the bus, blood gushing from his body. People were pouring water on him, to see if he could be revived, but he did not get up.

“The other man he was carrying only had a cut to his cheek. One of the passengers in the bus told me they had been warning the driver against reckless driving, but he didn’t listen to them.” The driver came down from the bus to see the extent of the damage, and on seeing Akinwale half dead, climbed into the vehicle, reversed and sped off again. Another eyewitness, who identified himself as Leke, said, “He drove through Moshalashi Street, and hit another pedestrian, breaking his leg in the process. He did not stop. It was when he got to Olorunkemi/Adifase junction when he was about to take a sharp bend that the bus fell into a ditch.

DEJI OF AKURE, OBA ADESIDA ADEBIYI (63) IS DEAD

LATE OBA ADEBIYI ADESIDA
The Deji of Akure of Akure, Oba Adebiyi Adesida, the monarch that presides over Akureland, the Ondo State capital is dead.

Details of his passage is still sketchy.

The 63-year-old first class paramount ruler ascended the throne about three years ago after his predecessor was deposed as a result of a street fight with one of the former monarch’s wives.

A highly competent source confirmed the death but said such announcement could only be made after seven days in accordance with tradition.

HOW NYSC STEALS BILLIONS OF NAIRA FROM CORPERS


When some corps members  serving in Nasarawa state turned up for a meeting at the Lafia local government secretariat on Wednesday, June 19, most of them were prepared for a showdown with authorities of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.

Shortly after they gathered outside the NYSC zonal office, they had received an annoying notice of yet another mandatory levy which would be deducted from that month’s allowances. The NYSC coordinator in the council area had told the furious corps members that they were required, mandatorily, to contribute yet another part of their allowance to fund the building of an office for the NYSC in the area.

The corps members in Nasarawa were enraged by the notice because earlier in the year, in February, they had been extorted of N500 each for the same project. They are among the over one hundred thousand graduates that struggle through the NYSC scheme annually, with parts of their meagre allowances pilfered by officials of the NYSC, a government body established in 1973, to inculcate the culture of service, volunteerism and national unity into young graduates.

Although the corps was established to manage the welfare of graduates serving the scheme, it has ironically developed micro strategies to plunder corps members or aid other individuals and corporate bodies do same. Usually, most of the pilfering schemes are designed as voluntary contribution, but the actual implementation does not allow free will to choose not to donate. Corps members are threatened and cajoled to pay up. Defaulting corps members are sometimes punished with denial/delay of monthly allowance or extension of service year.

NYSC Foundation Slush fund
The National Youth Service Corps Foundation (NYSC Foundation), a non-governmental organization (NGO) established by ex-corps members in 1998, is one of the most sophisticated schemes used to plunder corps members. The NYSC Foundation said it exists to reduce unemployment by empowering ex-corps members. It has ex-director generals and staff of the NYSC as its board members and directors. The Industrial Energy Company Ltd in association with Industrial and General Insurance Plc, IGI, initiated the formation of the NYSC Foundation.

Since 1998, the foundation has collected hundreds of millions in Naira from corps members, with the help of the NYSC; in a scheme both institutions are not willing to share records with the public. At the end of every service-year cycle, graduating NYSC members are forced to pay a membership fee of at least N500 to join NYSC Foundation. In return, they get a paper ID and a promise to receive a loan for a small or medium enterprise. Defaulters are punished with denial of allowance, and in some cases, extension of service year. But only few members get the loan. The bulk of the money is never accounted for.

On the IDs issued the graduating corps members, the foundation admits that over 100,000 Nigerian graduates pass through the NYSC scheme annually. The foundation virtually extorts at least N50 million annually from its forced new members but has neither a public record of contributors nor annual statement of accounts to members. After more than a decade of existence, the foundation announced its first soft loans to 43 ex-corps members in 2010. The members received amounts up to N250, 000 (total of less than N11 million) to establish personal business like hair salons and recharge card kiosks.

The foundation gave out the loans after receiving at least N600 million from graduating corps members in its first 12 years. Three years later, in 2013, they announced secret loan amounts to 93 members of the foundation. The foundation also claimed it renovates NYSC camps, but refused PREMIUM TIMES’ investigators access to its account records.

“I cannot give you a detailed amount of corps members that have contributed to the NYSC Foundation because it’s a voluntary donation and not a compulsory one,” the spokesperson of the Foundation, Aliyushlate Ise, told PREMIUM TIMES at the foundation’s Abuja office.

Did you see me there?

When confronted  with evidence the payments are usually made compulsory, he asked: “Was I the one that collected money from you? Did you see me there?”

Actually, the NYSC Foundation does not go to the field to collect money. NYSC Foundation is run by top Nigerian business moguls and civil servants. Remi Olowude, the Executive Vice Chairman of multimillion Naira insurance company, IGI, is the founding Chairman of NYSC Foundation. The Foundation maintains a small office at the IGI house in Abuja.

The NYSC does the actual money collection on behalf of the foundation. Corps members are made to pay the money during their final clearance before passing out.  The payment is part of the criteria that must be met by corps members before they are cleared to conclude their service year. Remittances are then made to the foundation by the NYSC.

The NYSC also refused to disclose its monetary transactions with the foundation to PREMIUM TIMES. The corps rebuffed months of repeated enquiries and disregarded our FOI request for information. Critics believe that top officials of the NYSC are among beneficiaries of the loot the foundation earns annually from graduation corps members.

Denials
The NYSC denies it does compel corp members to make mandatory payments to the NYSC foundation. The NYSC foundation also denies forcing members to pay. But accounts from past members of the service indicate the NYSC facilitates the payment of dues to NYSC foundations through coercive measures.

“During my time, I was forced to pay N500 in return for an NYSC Foundation membership card,” Isa Yakubu, who served in Abia state in 2007 said. “We were threatened that our last allowee (allowance) would be seized if we did not comply.”

“I paid during my time,” Idowu Johnson, who served in Bauchi in 2005, said. “It is a small money. When you consider the consequences of not paying, you will just pay and let it go.”
Just like Messrs Yakubu and Johnson, many other exiting corps members, eager to conclude their service year and collect their discharge certificates, promptly obey the directive and make the N500 payment.
Almost all are not bordered about how the money is spent. “Nobody wants to know what they do with the money. All of us just paid so as not to have any trouble,” said Olaitan Abeni who completed her youth service in Abuja in 2013.

The big question
In addition to the grand NYSC Foundation fraud, there are other micro-pilfering schemes developed by officials of the NYSC at the grassroots to extort members of the corps.

Despite their meagre income, corps members are forced by NYSC officials to pay for various sundry charges purportedly meant for funding projects ranging from buying magazines to running local offices, and like in Nasarawa, building offices.

The NYSC is fully funded by the government, and corps members in Nasarawa are not letting the extortions pass. They have petitioned the National Human Rights Commission seeking to stop the NYSC officials.
“The big question is; is it corps members’ responsibility to build NYSC offices in Nigeria? Are corps members supposed to use their monthly stipend to execute NYSC owned project? …who is responsible for building local government NYSC offices in Nigeria?” the protesting corps members asked in their petition to the human rights commission.

Many of the petitioners have, however, concluded their service year while others wait  on the human rights commission to treat the petition.

Nathaniel Ibwari, one of the corps members said that at least 10 percent of his total earning from the NYSC scheme was extorted by officials of the corps before he concluded his service in October.
“I am calling on the authorities concerned to look into this matter and act fast in order to stop this blatant extortion or corruption,” he said.

PDP PLANS IMPEACHMENT OF FIVE REBEL GOVERNORS


The drama rocking the politics of Nigeria has definitely just started as the Peoples Democratic Party is plotting to influence state lawmakers to impeach five governors who defected to the opposition All Progressives Congress last week. Investigations in Abuja on Friday showed that the ruling party would soon set up committees to lobby members of the houses of assembly to impeach the governors.

The governors who defected are Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State. Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano; AbdulFatah Ahmed of Kwara; Murtala Nyako of Adamawa and Aliyu Wamako of Sokoto State. However, Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, and his Jigawa State counterpart, Sule Lamido, who are also among the PDP rebel governors, said that they had not left the ruling party. Nevertheless, the two governors have remained vocal about their displeasure with the state of the PDP. It was learnt that the committee in each of the states would work out modalities to get members of the houses of  assembly loyal to the PDP to move against the five governors.

It was also gathered that the impeachment plot, which members of the National Working Committee, had been considering since the governors joined the APC on Tuesday, would be formally adopted at the committee’s emergency meeting on Monday. In addition to lobbying for the removal of the governors, the committees are also to be tasked with the responsibilities of ensuring that the PDP members in the state houses of assembly remain in the party.

RAMSEY IS STILL ON FIRE AS ARSENAL EXTENDS LEAD PLUS OTHER PREMIER LEAGUE RESULTS


Ramsey's return to the stadium where he started his career was always going to be a special one as he was booed by the crowd back then in 2009 and it clearly impeded his performance. After just an hour, he was withdrawn.

On this return home, Ramsey played the full 90 minutes, was man of the match and capped the performance with two excellent goals. The class of his play has been in evidence all season.

The first goal was an outstanding header. Olivier Giroud dropped off the front to begin the move and eventually the ball found its way to Mesut Ozil. He looked up and clipped a perfect pass in to the path of Ramsey’s run and the Welshman responded with a beautifully-placed header into the top corner. The timing of run, pass and header were all perfect.

WILLIE OBIANO
Willie Obiano, candidate of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has been declared winner of the disputed governorship election in Anambra State according to Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Nigeria.

The total votes won by the APGA candidates constitutes 25% of the votes in at least 19 LGAs out of the 21 LGAs in the state.

The election results were declared after the completion of today's supplementary elections which was boycotted by major parties that earlier participated in the first ballot.

Expect lots of legal tussle after this declaration as the 3 main opposition parties had written INEC formally for the cancellation of the polls believed to have rigged by the ruling party APGA.

NIGERIA'S BILLIONAIRES DRAG NCAA TO COURT OVER LUXURY TAX


PRIVATE jet owners and non-scheduled airline operators in Nigeria have taken the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to a Lagos High Court to restrain them from enforcing the collection of new fees the agency announced few weeks back.

Information available revealed that they assembled a strong team of lawyers to defend their rights against the illegality of the imposition of luxury tax on private and chartered plane operators.

According to Mohammed Tukur on Tuesday, November 19, 2013, non-scheduled airline operators are seeking an injunction restraining the NCAA or any other agency from collecting the illegal and outrageous fees.  Tukur, who is a stakeholder, said, “Yes, the non-scheduled airline operators are going to court to stop the government from collecting the illegal fees.”

I DENIED MY BABY BECAUSE THINGS WERE COMPLICATED - ICE PRINCE


You really won't understand the pains of celebrities until you're in their shoes. Don't be too quick to judge them all the time. I am not advocating for them, but we are all imperfect.

It is no longer news many Naija Male Artistes are BabyFathers..... Either intentionally or otherwise. Some of them like Wizkid, 9ice and Iceprince initially denied paternity until DNA proved otherwise.


In March 2012, News went round that Ice prince had fathered a child with a 20 years old Bimbo but the Jos-born-singer Ice Prince denied being responsible.

Months later, the same baby he denied became his treasure. The rapper gladly shows off  his son at every chance he gets.


In a recent interview with Showbizplus, Ice Prince explained why he initially denied his baby.

How has fatherhood changed you?
It has taught me to save my money. It is a huge difference and a huge change in lifestyle. You become more matured.

You initially denied having a baby?
It was complicated back then, I didn’t really know what was happening and I wasn’t sure of certain things. So the best I had to do then was denying it and sort out things first. Now I know he is my child and I have done everything as a father ever since.

 What is the relationship like with his mother?
I speak with her often and it is usually about the baby. That is all for now.

 Have you started thinking about marriage?
No, I’m fully focused on my music.

MY CELEBRITY STATUS SCARES MEN AWAY - KAREN IGHO


Karen Igho, ex-Big Brother Africa winner talks about her fashion with a Punch entertainment correspondent.

Do you wear your natural hair at all?

I’d rather rock my natural hair than weaves . Natural hair is easier to maintain than weaves and it is more convenient.

But do you have a favourite hairstyle?

 I love braiding my hair. Braids are versatile and can be packed or styled in different ways. It’s also cheaper than weaves and easier to maintain.  There is no stress to it at all. There are no bad hair days with braids. I can roll out of the bed and go out with my braids without doing anything to it. That is impossible with weaves.

Does it cost you so much to braid your hair?

It depends on the hair style and the hairdresser. Braids don’t cost as much as weaves. I won’t put a price to it but I spend enough to look good. No ridiculous amounts though because I don’t wear any hairstyle for long.

FEMALE TEACHER DEFILES 4-YR-OLD STUDENT IN OGUN STATE


My friend, Kayode had mentioned during our numerous discussions about SEXUAL ABUSE that if parents are vigilant enough then they will be able to identify changes in the behavioural pattern of a a child who has been abused and threatened not to mention a same to anyone.

At Golden Sharon Nursery and Primary School (formerly Kingdom Sharon), located at Ijaba area of Ota, Ogun State, an incident occurred on Tuesday, November 26, 2013, that has created panic in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson (not real name).

One of their twins, four-year-old Lydia (not real name), who attended the school, was defiled by a female teacher, Olajumoke Oyewole, in a fashion they suspected had ritualistic intent. Lydia, who is a pupil of Nursery One with her twin brother, got home on Tuesday afternoon and started complaining of a nagging pain in her private part. But things she later revealed confounded her mother. The mother, said after Lydia came home after school, she began complaining consistently when she wanted to urinate.

She said, “I asked her what was wrong and she said, ‘stone.’ I thought she meant that somebody stoned her and I waved off the matter that she would be alright. “But when the pain persisted and she kept complaining, I decided to check why she was feeling pain there. That was when I discovered a wound on her private part.
“I was alarmed and I asked her who did that to her. She immediately mentioned Aunty Jummy (the accused.) I asked what the teacher did to her and she said the lady dipped her finger in her private part and brought out a stone which she used to scratch her there.

“The lady is not her class teacher. She (Oyewole) teaches another class beside my daughter’s. I did not understand this and I quickly called my daughter’s class teacher on the phone to help investigate the issue. She said I should come the following day but I decided to go that same day. “I reported the matter to the head of the school and while we were leaving, we went past the (accused’s) class. My daughter said, ‘Mummy come, this is where she did it. She sat on that chair and put me on her lap and used the stone.’ She pointed to the teacher’s chair in the classroom. The lady was not around at the time.”

According to the woman, who was clearly confused when she spoke with our correspondent, the way her daughter was defiled was strange. She said she had to take her daughter to the family clinic to conduct a test on the little girl. Meanwhile, she had apprised her husband who is away at work in Benin, Edo State, of the incident. He instructed her to report the matter to the police as soon as possible. “The doctor examined her and asked me to have a look at my daughter’s private part. She explained that apart from the wound from which my daughter was bleeding, her hymen had been torn. The doctor said only a state hospital could give a report on such test since it was suspected that a crime might have been committed,” the woman said.

The case was reported at the Onipanu Police Division, Ota, later.

The police were said to have taken the little girl to a state hospital nearby, where a test was done and the same confirmation was made about the defilement of the girl. When the police went to arrest Oyewole, she denied committing any crime and resisted arrest. But the school owner advised her to go with the police.
A member of the victim’s family, who did not want the case to be treated with levity, informed the Children’s Anti-Corruption Initiative, a non-governmental organisation, concerned with the protection of children’s future.

CACTI visited Onipanu Police Division to find out how investigation into the matter was going. While the divisional police officer was not available at the time, a divisional crime officer, said Oyewole had been locked up in a cell. “The teacher is in the cell. This is a serious matter that we are still investigating. We are still working on the case. She will probably be transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department in Abeokuta soon,” the police officer said. While in the premises of the police station, the accused’s mother, with tears on her face, approached CACTI’s group and knelt down pleading with them to let the matter be settled. But when asked if she had asked her daughter why she carried out such act on the little girl, she said she had not asked her.

The victim’s mother was asked whether there was any possibility that her daughter might be confused as to who did such a thing to her, she said she considered it but that it had become clear that it was Oyewole. “The night of the incident, we woke her up in the middle of the night just to be sure, we asked who did it to her, she said, ‘Aunty Jummy’. The following morning, it was the same answer. “When we got to the hospital, the doctors threatened her with injection to say who really did it. My daughter can faint at the sight of an injection. That is what she hates most in life. But she repeated the same name.”

CACTI’s Executive Secretary, Mr. Omololu Akinwande, said there was a high possibility that the teacher had been sent to perform the act in order to use the girl’s blood for ritual purpose. He said, “What you must note is that the girl is not in the accused teacher’s class. She is also a twin and the strange object the teacher allegedly used is suspicious. “We cannot rule out the possibility that some wicked people had connived with the teacher to get them something from a twin. This is why this case must not be swept under the carpet.

“It is just unfortunate that many schools in Nigeria are no longer safe for children. Government needs to make it compulsory for schools to put in place CCTV cameras in order to keep children safe. When people know they are being watched, they are not likely to try something bad with children in their care.” Akinwale insisted that rape in Nigeria had gone beyond sexual desire, adding that many now indulge in it for ritual purposes.The phone number of the proprietor of Golden Sharon Nursery and Primary School was switched off when an attempt was made to contact her on Thursday.

Members of the accused’s family have sought the help of community leaders in the area to appeal to the victim’s parentst to drop the case. A member of the victim’s family who did not want to be named, also told this correspondent that the police at the Onipanu division have been making efforts to make the parents drop the case. “They told the mother that she would be the one paying for the transportation of police and the accused from Ota to Abeokuta for the duration of the investigation and anytime they need to go to court. They just want to pressure them into dropping the case,” the relation said.

But the spokesperson of the Ogun State Police Command, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, has said that the police at the division did not have any power to stop the prosecution of the case.

“I have been briefed on the case and I have been told the accused is still in custody. The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, has directed that the case be transferred to the state  CID.  The CID will take over the investigation of the case and justice will surely be done in the matter,” he said.

The proprietor of the school was also arrested by the police on Friday.

YOU ARE A SHAMEFUL COWARD - MICHAEL JACKSON ESTATE REPLIES DISGRACED DR. CONRAD


The Michael Jackson Estate has had just about enough of Dr. Conrad Murray running his mouth -- talking about things like how he used to hold MJ's penis every night -- and now it's demanding he shut up once and for all ... or face a lawsuit.

MJ Estate lawyer Howard Weitzman fired off a cease and desist letter to Murray earlier this week, writing, "Your recent comments to the media about Mr. Jackson’s medical treatment and ultimate death shamefully violate the physician-patient privilege under California law."


He calls Murray a COWARD for attempting to use the media to defend himself ... instead of testifying in court during his manslaughter trial. If Murray keeps talking, Weitzman says the Estate will file suit -- and will subsequently inform any medical board with which Murray attempts to obtain his medical license that he violates the doctor-patient privilege willy-nilly.

As reported, Murray has been blabbing his big mouth all over the place ... telling reporters all sorts of sordid details about MJ, like how the singer couldn't hold in his pee while he was sleeping ... and how he held MJ's penis every night.

KOGI STATE UNIVERSITY DISOWN ARRESTED BOKO HARAM MEMBER

DR NAZEEF YUSUF
Following the arrest of Dr. Mohammed Nazeef Yusuf, a lecturer at Kogi State University, Ayingba by the Department of State Service, DSS over alleged involvement with the Boko Haram sect, the university authority has dissociated the institution from the activities of the lecturer and the alleged plan to carry out terrorists attacks in the state.

Also, the Kogi State University Chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities declared that the suspect was never an active member of the union.

ASUU Chairman in the university, Dr. Sylvester Ukwuteno said contrary to report from the other suspects that Dr Yusuf was a strong member of the organization, the suspect has never been an active member of ASUU.
