Saraki Distances Himself From The Ruling APC

Image
Nigerian users on Twitter have expressed surprise at the removal of the All Progressives Congress’ name from the official profile page of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki. Saraki’s verified Twitter biography previously read, in part, “Member of the APC.” But now the Senate President's bio simply read: “Senate President and Chairman of the 8th National Assembly. Committed to Transparency and Accountability.” According to Punch observation, one twitter user, Am Human No Labels, said, “Sir, are you no longer a member of the ruling party? I can’t find APC on your bio anymore.” In the same vein, @olufemisp wrote, “I knew it was when @bukolasaraki deleted the “APC” that proudly adorned his bio. This Saraki war will consume the party.” Another user, AS Aruwa, said, “I just noticed that @bukolasaraki has deleted ‘Member of the APC’ from his bio. Someone is about to decamp?” Maryam Abubakar also asked, “Now that the ‘APC’ on Bukola Saraki’s Twitter bio is gone, what should we expect?...

*Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi may be next Ife King... He is not that young, but compared to other contenders for the throne he is. Information reaching Society Beats revealed that with the demise of the highly dignified Oba Okunade Sijuwade, Olubuse II, who in his capacity as the Oonirisa of the Source brought a lot of fanfare and prestige to the already well revered stool at one time or the other had been occupied by such illustrious personalities as Oduduwa & Oranmiyan, the race for the next Ooni has been on and the four ruling families; Osinkola, Ogboru Giesi and Lafogido are the contenders.

Saraki On The Run, Cries Out From His Hiding

Image
Senate President Bukola Saraki has gone into hiding immediate after the Code of Conduct tribal ordered his arrest for his utter disregard for the Tribunal. Speaking from his safe haven, he has described the call for his arrest by the Tribunal on Friday as an abuse of rule of law. “The Tribunal today left nobody in doubt that it cannot do justice on the matter before it. The tribunal has equally set a bad precedent in the way and manner it conducted itself during the proceedings. “We want to emphasise the fact that this is not part of any war against corruption but using state institutions to fight political opponents. And seeking to achieve through the back door what some people cannot get through democratic process. “We need to caution here that in a desperate bid to settle political scores and nail imaginary enemies, we should not destroy our democratic institutions and heat the polity for selfish reasons. Let us all learn from history." Saraki said this in a statement by his Sp...

Oluchi was brought to us dead-UNILAG Medical Centre

Image
Since the death of Miss Oluchi Anekwe, a third-year Accounting student at the University of Lagos, the university’s Medical Centre has remained the subject of widespread criticism and ridicule. Both the students of the university and members of the Anekwe family have insisted that Oluchi who was rushed to the Medical Centre in a taxi was alive at the time she arrived the hospital, and would have in fact survived had the medical officials attended to her promptly. Last week, a student who identified herself as Damilola told Saturday  Tribune  that medical officials at the Centre had done nothing to save Anekwe’s life. “She could have been saved; they were asking us for her ID card at the Medical Centre. How could they be asking for her ID card when they saw it was an emergency? They were delaying us, asking us to go and get her ID card. Five minutes is enough to save a life; if she was not a UNILAG student, would we all have gathered there? And even if she was not a UNILAG...

BREAKING: Saraki Should Be Arrested and Brought To Court

Image
The trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki for "false declaration of assets" commenced at the code of conduct tribunal in Abuja on Friday as the tribunal has ordered. Saraki refused to appear in person as ordered by the code of conduct tribunal but was represented by his lawyer, Mahmud Magaji. It appears he is hiding behind the directive by a federal high court asking the Tribunal and Saraki to appear for justification of the case on Monday. Consequently, the federal government prosecuting counsel, M.S. Hassan, has asked the court to with immediate effect issue a bench warrant for the arrest of Saraki. He told the Tribunal that Saraki, for failing to respect a competent court, should be arrested within the next two hours by the police authority in Abuja and brought to court immediately. More details coming.

Image
God save us from ladies who can go any length to lock a man's destiny spiritually or even kill him, all because of his wealth. Many ladies today don't fear of God. If you're a rich man, be very careful and prayerful! A Naija lady from South-East Nigeria, Uloma, has been arrested for murder, after it was exposed that she had conspired with a group of young men to kill her husband who is a Fire Service officer in the US. What is her reason? So she could take her husband's Life Insurance money and also cover up some secret financial fraud she committed in her husband’s name, prosecutors said. The 44-year-old woman was indicted on aggravated murder, conspiracy and felonious assault charges in the slaying of her husband, Fire Lt. William Walker, 45, a County Prosecutor’s Office announced. Walker was shot to death in the driveway of his home after the trio of Chad Padgett, 21, Christopher Hein, 22, and Ryan Dorty, 23, laid ambush on him after they were hired by his wife. It w...

Image
A drama played out at the Akwa Ibom National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal on Wednesday in Abuja when suddenly one of the witness of embattled former governor Godswill Akpabio, Mr. Stanley Annah from Ikot Ekpene dramatically turned blind when given the card reader report to state the total number of accredited voters for Ikot Ekpene. Mr Annah, who told the tribunal that elections held in all the polling units of the council, suddenly turned blind and mute when told to read out the total number of accredited voters based on the card reader for Ikot Ekpene on exhibit P19. "I can’t see anything, I can’t read," he said. He wore glasses. Asked if truly he is a graduate of agriculture as he claimed, he said yes but still can’t read the figures. He also claimed he has no idea of the number of polling units in Ikot Ekpene. After minutes of vain attempt to evade the question, he reluctantly read out 22,761 as the total number of accredited voters for Ikot Ekpene. He had also ear...

Image
An unidentified Nigerian Muslim man arriving in Saudi Arabia for the annual Haj (pilgrimage) next week got the shock of his life when he was told by immigration service that there was a big scissors inside his belly. According to Saudi daily 'Al Wata'n, the scissors was discovered when the Nigerian pilgrim walked through the metal detecting machine at the airport in the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah. The metal inside him caused the metal detecting metal to bleep, causing the police officers to call him aside. After all metal objects on him such as wristwatch and belt were taken off him, the machine still bleeped when he passed through it. "He was taken for a scan at the hospital and the big surprise was that it showed there is a big scissors inside his abdomen. When he was told about it, the pilgrim got a shock. He said that he underwent a surgery nearly 15 years ago but never had any pain,” an airport staff said

So, I went to buy drinks for them at the nearby shop. As I returned, I met them making calls, and immediately their operational Keke man who was on a standby to pick them came and th...
