Founder of Boko Haram is a member of the opposition - FFK
While speaking on Channels TV's breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, this
morning June 30th, former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who recently
dumped the APC for PDP, said the founder of terrorist group, Boko
Haram, is an indigene of Borno state and is also a key official of the
opposition. He also said Boko Haram is the armed wing of the opposition. Some of what he said below...
"It is very clear that the founder of Boko Haram, the person that actually founded Boko Haram when he was in office...and I won't mention his name on Television but everybody knows who it is, is from Borno state. He is alive and well. He is a key member of the opposition. Again I look at the utterances of the official spokesman of the opposition last year, that is Lai Mohammed, where he protested at the fact that Boko Haram was proscribed by the federal government where he said it was unconstitutional for the federal government to do so. He needs to explain why it is he would want to protect and support an organization that has killed almost 15,000 Nigerians as at that time and is against the fact that they were being proscribed to protect Nigerians.
"If you compare what’s happening in Nigeria to what happened in Ireland some years ago, you had Sinn Fein on the one hand and then you had the IRA on the other. The IRA was the armed wing of Sinn Fein and as far as I’m concerned, Boko Haram could well be described as the armed wing of the opposition, today.”

Pistorius was not mentally ill when he shot girlfriend' - experts says
mentally ill when he shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, in his home in February 2013, a report has been released. A panel of mental health experts has concluded that Oscar Pistorius was not suffering from mental illness when he killed Reeva, the chief prosecutor at his murder trial said today.
The mental experts, a psychologist and 3 psychiatrists all agreed that Oscar understood the gravity of his act when he shot Reeva through a closed toilet door. The request for evaluation came after his defence team brought a psychiatrist who testified that Oscar had an anxiety disorder, because of his disability, that could have contributed to the shooting. His trial resumed today after a 1-month break.
Sale Of Sex Toys: Nigerians Are Bunch of Hypocrites- Bisi Ibidapo Obe
Nollywood actress Bisi Ibidapo Obe has said Nigerians are
way behind in thinking and wonders if it is a crime to sell sex toys. While
speaking to Sun Newspaper, Bisi said Nigerians pretend a lot about their sex lives
and even though she mostly sells men and female underwear, she wonders if it is
a crime to sell sex toys too. Hear her;
If I sell sex toys so what? Nigerians are a bunch of
hypocrites. They make issues out of non-issues. When I travelled to London I
saw some newly wedded couples buying sex toys but back here, Nigerians believe
that those that buy sex toys are harlots. In fact, there is dignity in the use
of sex toys. I am not into the sales of only sex toys but there is a big market
for them."

Are We Practising Christianity Right In Nigeria? Ayodeji Alonge Writes
Before you criticize me. I am not a pagan. I believe God exist
and he is Real. I believe in the birth and death of Jesus Christ. I believe
Jesus Died for our sins. I also believe in Miracles.
But are we portraying him the right way. I keep on thinking are we practising Christianity
the write way. We keep on asking God to destroy demons, Keep on telling them to
suffer, burn and die. We keep on casting them. But I believe we should ask God
to touch their hearts and help them and convert them to do good and do away
with their evil deeds.
Eniola Badmus Denies Fighting Funke Akindele, Thanks City People For Award
” I am so excited to win this award because I never expected
it, more so this is my first award ever. Even if I don’t win this award, I feel
highly honoured to be recognised among others in the industry. It is not easy
to be on the nominees’ list of City People, let alone winning it. I appreciate
the organisers and my fans who took their time and money to vote for me. May God be
with you all. I dedicate this award to my 83-year-old father, Badoosky, who at
age 83 is still kicking . I am also giving this to my colleagues, like Femi
Adebayo, Toyin Aimakhu, Funke Akindele and others.
“Let me say here that the rumour that I and Funke Akindele
are in a serious cold war is not true. I can never engage in a fight with her
because she is a strong pillar behind me in the industry. She brought me into
the industry, and I have featured in so many movies through her before my name
got registered in people’s minds. So, why should I be fighting with her?
Moreso, what would have warranted that? We are not fighting, we are in good
terms”.

87-Year Old Woman With Tumour In The Eye Drags Bank To Court Over N253,000 Suspicious Withdrawal
The claimant told the Magistrate’s Court sitting at the
Ojokoro, Agbado area of Lagos that she just got N200,000 of the sum from her
cooperatives to operate the tumour in her eye.
She told the court that the tumour had worsened since the scam
took place because no longer had money to get rid of it.
Adebisi, who sells drinks in Orile-Agege, said she had been
the sole signatory to her account since 1970s before her only daughter, Sanusi
Ifedayo, was included as a joint signatory due to a health problem.
Ifedayo claimed she did not know anything about Internet
transaction and told the court that she had rejected the use of an ATM card for
the account, but an official of the bank insisted that she applied for it,
saying some amount could not be cashed across the counter.
“I had withdrawn N40, 000 for Mama (mother) that day before
the scam. It was my husband who went to greet her that very day that noticed
the debit alerts on her phone.
I wrote a letter of complaint to the bank and its officials
promised to investigate the matter. After a week, I was told that the money was
withdrawn online by an unknown person. I don’t even know how to operate a
Facebook account not to talk of using Internet for transaction. The bank is in
best position to tell us what transpired,” she said.
She also claimed that she had never revealed the ATM pin to
anyone.
The claimant’s counsel, Mr. Gbenga Julius, presented before
the court, a signed and stamped printout of his client’s statement of account
reportedly accessed from the Union Bank – an exhibit the defence counsel, Mr.
Seyi Solaja, refuted.
Solaja maintained that the exhibit was not the same as the
one the bank issues to its customers, adding that it was null and void under
Section 84 of Evidence Act.
The magistrate, Mrs. T. Akani adjourned the case to July 27, 2014 for further hearing.

Charly Boy Disgraces Gov. Okorocha Yesterday At Father’s Burial
Chief Okorocha, was stopped midway into his speech, by Charly
Boy when the Catholic Bishop invited him to the alter to pay his tribute to the
fallen judge. Charly boy walked up angrily to the altar, snatched the
micro-phone from the governor, and yelled at the Bishop for giving him the
micro-phone to pay tribute to his father.
A lot of people have said, Charly boy decided to disgrace
him, when his government allegedly said they gave his family N20m for his
father’s burial, which is far from the truth.
Charly boy hasn’t said anything since yesterday’s incident,
but the State Government has described the incident has Ugly and regrettable.
They also accused Charly boy for working for other parties who are against
Rochas administration.
“It is highly regrettable that the son of the late Justice,
Mr Charles Emeka Oputa, aka, Charly Boy, threw caution to the wind and turned
the church service into a political theatre that saw him acting or playing out
the script he drafted in Abuja with some Imo politicians, who have remained
cowed by the overwhelming popularity of Governor Rochas Okorocha”,
”We condemn that ugly incident and also wish to advise
politicians from the state to stop heating up the polity over power since God
is the giver of power. In 2015, God will decide who will be governor of Imo
State and when God decides that, there is nothing anybody can do about it”, Senior Special Assistant, SSA, Media, Mr Sam
Onwuemodo said.
He also insisted that, the state government made substantial
financial input and also organized a special day of tributes for the late
Justice at the expense of state government with Charly Boy and other members of his family present.

A young man on Twitter known as Samuel who resides at Hunjo Street,
Royal Estate, Isawo, ikorodu area of Lagos State, the same vicinity Ayi (the
abused girl) lives with her mother is demanding for justice for her. According to
Samuel, Ayi’s mother left a deep cut on her this evening when she threw a
wooden chair at her at a close range. She started bleeding furiously before neighbours
rushed her to a nearby chemist for first aid treatment.
Samuel says the hatred is so bad that the little helpless
girl goes to school without a school bag or books, and at times treks to
school bare footed.
With this head injury, what will become of the little girl's mental condition? I call for justice for this poor kid. If you have any means to fight for this poor girl, please contact me via the following: Twitter: @ORIGINAL_SAMUEL and Email: original_samuel@yahoo.com, an angry Samuel said.

Sad! Uche Ogbodo Confirms ‘Marriage’ Breakup After 10 Months
Hello Uche,i have a few quick questions for you.I heard
your barely a year old marriage has crashed,is this true?
.. Well that may be
true but what isn't true is that it wasn't really marriage yet because it
wasn't fully formalised, we were still in the process of formalising it when
all hell broke loose, so I was merely Engaged to be married to Ato Ubby.
It was just an introduction?why didn’t you clear that
impression all this while?
…I just felt there was no need to do so because the wedding
plans was to follow shortly,unfortunately it didn’t because things didn’t work
out the way it should.i walked into a no-win situation.
What happened?
This is really a hard
question to answer, but all I can say Is that barely one month into the
Engagement and in the process of planning a formal wedding I realised I had
made the greatest mistake of my life.The Foundation of the Union was based On lies
and Deceit..shocking lies.we had been dating for a almost year and i thought i
knew it all but nothing prepared me for what unfolded.
Is he married already?
...No,he isnt married to anyone else
You got pregnant in the process?
On the verge of trying to salvage the situation I found out
I was expecting a child. I kept quiet to the Rumours Making the rounds because
I was left with the option of thinking for my child and trying to salvage a
dead situation but now I have finally made up my mind to break off the
Engagement and my Reasons are Irreconcilable...
Uche so you are saying you never got married and the
engagement is off?
I just want to be
left alone to take care of my Child. Stella I wasn't married I was engaged to
be married but as things stand now, the engagement is officially broken due to
irreconcilable differences and since I am having my baby soon, my Doctors has
advised me to rest as my health and that of my Baby is the most important thing
right now..
So you are the one walking away and not him?you want to go
into details?
..Yes i am the one walking out on the pack of lies,I am not
going to pretend because i want to be married,i am not desperate and i would
rather swallow my pride and accept i made a big mistake than forge ahead in
lies.I am sorry i cannot go into details because i do not want to trade words
or run my ex down because he is the father of the child i am carrying.
I am sorry if keeping quiet misled people into my status was
already married.
The excitement of looking forward to birthing my child kinda
numbs the shock and disappointment but i will be fine.
So,after the introduction,the planned marriage was dead on
arrival?
…exactly and all this while,we have been trying to settle
the issues, thats probably how you got hear of it.
Here's wishing you all the best Uche, we look forward to
hearing the good news. God bless you.
Photo: Woman Gives Birth To Baby Girl After 14 Years Of Pregnancy
Saturday June 7, 2014, will remain the happiest day in the
life of Mercy James. Reason? That was the day she miraculously gave birth to a
baby girl after 14 years of being pregnant.
The baby was promptly and aptly christened Miracle. And why
not? If the mother had delivered at the expected time the child would have been
a teenager by now and possibly in secondary school at the JSS 3 level.
Mercy, a single parent, said of her ordeal during the 14
years she was pregnant but could not give birth: “When I first took in, I knew
that I was pregnant with signs and test that confirmed that I was. Four months
later, I went to hospital for another test, the result showed that I wasn’t
pregnant, but had fibroid.
Subsequently, I began to experience bleeding, at least once
a day. Sometimes, my tummy would protrude in the semblance of pregnancy. I went
to different hospitals, and I kept on receiving the same result that nothing
was wrong with me. But deep down inside , I knew that all was not well with me.
Churches and native doctors
“So I was taken aback when a midwife told me I was pregnant.
But considering the test which showed I had fibroid, I was angry with the
midwife for giving me what I felt was a false prophecy of hope. Thereafter, I
started going from one church to another and from one native doctor to the
other. The results that I got from them all remained the same. I became more
feeble and confused that I prayed for death to come.
“I went again to the midwife two years after and complained
to her about the pains that I was going through, she told me again that it was
not fibroid but pregnancy; she advised me to be more prayerful so that God will
deliver me from the hands of the devil. I kept on praying and at the same time
asking myself that if truly I’m pregnant, why is it that the baby was not
kicking?
“I bought many concoctions that they said could cure fibroid
and drank them. I even drank 12 bottles of a local cleanser but to no avail.
This went on for years. Then God took pity on me and decided to wipe my tears.
On the day I gave birth to my baby girl, I initially thought
that worms were trying to come out of my body not knowing that it was a baby.
This was what I told the midwife when we came to her. But after examining me
she told me to push.
I ignored her. I became unconscious for about 15 minutes and
when I regained consciousness, I heard the cry of a baby. I was surprised and
confused seeing my baby. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Hmm,I thank God for my
life and that of my baby Miracle. I named her Miracle because she is truly a
miraculous child”.
Miraculous child
The midwife at the Celestial Church of Christ, Kadoso
Parish, Ajegunle where Mercy gave birth confirmed the development, especially the
role she played.
The woman who simply gave her name as Mrs Ajetima informed
thus: “She was pregnant for 14 years and was unable to give birth during this
period. Then on Saturday around 6:30am I saw two persons carrying her to this
place. When she came inside, I laid her down and asked one of my daughters to
examine her, after the examination, I found out that it was a baby that was
about coming out and not worms. I asked her to push and she refused. My
daughter gave her a hard slap on her laps since she refused to push.
Behold a baby with placenta came out! I started shouting,
calling on people to come and see for themselves that Mercy was truly pregnant,
because if not, people will start to say that that Celestial woman has given
Mercy a baby. Within a twinkle of an eye, the whole place was filled with
people. God is wonderful”.
Also affirming the happy development, Mercy’s closest
friend, Odunayo Odeyemi had this to say: “I have known mercy for over nine
years now. I met her with the pregnancy . In fact, she did not know that she
was pregnant. I followed her to many places but her problems kept on
increasing. Merely looking at Mercy then before she gave birth, you will notice
that she wasn’t okay. I kept advising her to have faith in God because I had experienced
the same thing. I was pregnant for three years and three months and God
delivered me.
“Mercy came to me on that fateful day around 4am begging me
to give her a pain reliever, that she was having pains all over her body. I
dressed up and took her to a man that sells drugs. After taking the drug, on
our way home, she started having serious pains. I called her brother and we
both took her to the midwife. Hours later, she gave birth to a bouncing baby
girl. We all were surprised because we never expected such a miracle to happen.
She had a complete baby.”
Robert Davidson, one of Mercy’s friends, said that he
concluded after seeing Mercy with a protruded tummy for three years that she
had fibroid. So, “it came to me as a shock to learn that she delivered a
bouncing baby girl.”
For Chidimma Ibe, a neighbour: “She always complained to me
that she had stomach pains all these period. She told me that she had fibroid
and sometime, she will complain of different things. She was totally confused
as to what her condition was. I’m very much surprised and happy she gave birth
to a complete baby girl. It was truly a miracle. God was on her side. God is
wonderful because all the concoctions she took were enough to kill the baby.”
On the father of Baby Miracle, Mercy informed that they got separated on account of the ordeal that attended her pregnancy. “Friday is the name of my baby’s father. Actually, we are not married. He just proposed to me and I became pregnant for him. He knew about the pregnancy. He always gave me money for tests and scans but he got tired and left me after waiting for me for over a year without seeing any sign of a baby. I have no option than to go my own way,” she informed.
Can I Still Find True Love- Divorced Female Reader
I would appreciate if you could post this on your blog
plsssssss. Could you please don't publish my email address.
I am a 31 year old female with no kids who is unfortunately
divorced. Before LLbers chop off my head, the divorce was not because I did
anything wrong ooooh. I fought and did everything to make my marriage work but
my ex-husband was a nightmare and stole turned broke me badly.
Anyways, my question is this: knowing how we Nigerians can be
very judgemental of divorced women, what do you think are my chances of ever finding
true love again and getting married?
Is there anyone here who has been through a divorce (female
please) and remarried? How easy was it to find someone who was willing to go
all the way with you?
Men in the house, would you marry a woman who has been
married before?
Parents, would you allow your son marry a Nigerian woman who
has been previously married?
No, I am not desperate to marry again but I have somehow gotten
myself to believe that I am never going to find true love again and I really want
to hear that I might be wrong. It’s tough having your love life end at 31.
I know the stigma attached with being a female divorcee in Nigeria and it really saddens me cos not everyone who has a failed marriage actually deserves the treatment we get.
