His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history.

Dasuki in company of EFCC Personnels

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has reportedly exposed what the former National Security Adviser (NSA) Mohammed Sambo Dasuki, bought with his share of the $2.1 billion arms procurement fund for the Nigerian armed force

The Nation reports that the anti-graft agency on Tuesday, December 15, arraigned the former NSA before a federal high court in Abuja, where he is currently undergoing trial.

The Federal Government through an agent of the EFCC, Hassan Saidu, explained to the court that Dasuki, who is on trial was involved in various activities that bordered on economic sabotage, compromise of the nation’s security and endangering the lives of Nigerian soldiers fighting members of the Boko Haram sect in the Northern part of the country.

NIGERIA’S political elite is a conclave of vampires. They survive on the blood of their innocent victims, in this instance the blood of struggling Nigerians who have nobody but God to protect them. This elite class of political jobbers are quick to amass wealth at the expense of the struggling majority. But they are never known to give out scholarship to indigent students who need it, nor are they famous for setting up foundations or charity organisations to research some of the killer diseases that the vast majority of Nigerians are ravaged by.

Not even such diseases like cancer that the jet set lifestyles of this greedy Nigerians expose them to increasingly are accorded the benefit of research grants that would ultimately be for their own good if not for all. Nigeria’s class of rich outcasts would rather travel abroad to spend their stolen wealth in the enrichment of the economies of those who already have more than enough to take care of their needs.

Tompolo

Former Niger Delta militant leader, Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, will not appear before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, which penultimate Wednesday ordered him to report to the commission today (Thursday) or be declared wanted, Vanguard has learned.

Lai Mohammed and Olisa Metuh

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alh. Lai Mohammed has taken a swipe on the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) over its criticism of the All Progressive Party’s (APC) led government for the poor state of the country’s economy and depreciation of naira, saying that the PDP lacks the temerity to insult President Buhari and the citizens for their failure in managing the economy in a transparent manner.

The Minister was reacting to the comments credited to Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, that businesses may collapse in the next six months because the Buhari Administration has mismanaged the economy, which he said was the clearest indication yet that the PDP and its leaders are still in denial about the massive body blows they inflicted on the Nigerian economy.

President Buhari and Former President Jonathan

Following the Arms deal Scandal recurrently rocking the nation, a fresh revelation has it that some close associates of former President Jonathan were arranging a private meeting between him and Buhari to enable the former explain some things to the President.

He told the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, that he was “not ready or prepared to negotiate, compromise, surrender, mortgage or part, in any way whatsoever, with the mandate already given to the said joint ticket by the electorate of Kogi State.”

Former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has requested the Federal Government to call Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole to order over what she called efforts to link her name to the alleged $2.1 billion arms issue.

A statement from her media Adviser, Paul Nwabuikwu, said Mrs Okonjo-Iweala “has absolutely nothing to do with the issue”.

Okonjo-Iweala described as “an abuse of public office, the judicial process and her human rights for Governor Oshiomhole whom she stopped from taking a highly suspicious N15 billion loan to make false allegations against her while hiding behind the constitutional immunity granted state governors.”

Dasuki's Disclosure: Jonathan, Okonjo-Iweala should face the Law - Oshiomhole

Gov. Oshiomhole

I SET UP My Boss’s Kidnap because she Maltreated me- Driver

A suspected kidnapper, Solomon Michael, who was paraded alongside four others at the Lagos State Police command, Ikeja, has confessed that he plotted the kidnap of his boss because she maltreated him.

suspectThe suspect, who was paraded alongside Ibrahim Sozza, Thankgod Husseni, Paul Brutus and Suleiman Mohammed, for allegedly robbing and kidnapping one Alhaja Modupe Idris, a business tycoon in Idumota and her sister, Alhaja Risikat Laminu, said: “I plotted to rob and kidnap my boss because she was maltreating me. It was one Emmanuel who organised four others that assisted me in carrying out the robbery and kidnapping. After the operation, Emmanuel and his gang gave me the Toyota SUV, smart phone and one I-pad as my share of the loot.

Nigeria’s criminal justice system has often been criticised and ridiculed for its inability to secure convictions, particularly for offences perpetuated by high profile individuals. Yet, one recalls the case of a young man, Kelvin Ighodalo, who was sentenced to 45 years in prison for stealing Governor Rauf Aregbesola’s N50,000 Sony Ericsson phone.

Our justice system is inherently flawed but the current debate over reform efforts is lacking in substance as it focuses mostly on efforts to bring corrupt public officials to heel (which is definitely needed, corruption kills Nigerians let’s never forget it) but the brunt of the system’s injustice and unfairness is actually experienced by the poor masses who spend years in jail awaiting trial, while the rich accused of worse crimes, simply make bail and then wait it out while the case is adjourned till it is forgotten.

Sexually Abused at 17,... Mustapha and his Gang Stand Accussed- Tony Akabogu

As reactions pour in from Nigerians over the Rape controversy that has held the Social Media space in the last one week, here is one from a staunch supporter of President Buhari, Tony Akabogu.

Sugabelly and Mustapha

Audu & His Gang Stand Accussed; They Are Guilty of Statutory Rape, Sexual Abuse, Entrapment & Severe Sexual Molestation of A Minor. Sugarbelly Need Justice!!

Sexually abused at 17, Sexually Molested, Controlled & Enslaved at 17 & 18. A tale in a sick Nation called Nigeria!!

A progeny of a long line of monstrosity; a rape story in a country often referred to as ZOO; should I fault those who feel as much? NO but they themselves who referred to the enclave as ZOO are equally as guilty in this context of RAPE in Nigeria.

This story encapsulates the eye opener of the ever growing violent abuse of women in Africas most populous Nation Nigeria. A country where 3 out of 5 women are severely but sexually molested daily. A country where gals as early as 14 are debased sexually either by the oga of the house where the poor gal is a maid or the sons of of the oga who are already groomed rapists roaming the streets of North, South, East & West of the country.

Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua and other trustees of the ‎Synagogue Church of All Nations (Scoan) will be Prosecuted by the government of Nigeria for the collapse of the church building that left 116 people dead in Lagos in 2014.

The church attracts thousands of worshippers every week and the building includes a guest house for visitors.

Muhammed Audu

Mohammed Audu, the eldest son of the late Prince Abubakar Audu has reacted to reports making round that Yahaya Bello, the runner up in the APC primary election, has been selected as the party’s governorship candidate in the supplementary poll slated for this weekend.

Buhai and Biafra [Must Read]

Dr. Chu S. P. Okongwu in his 2004 tributes to Ukpabi Asika, took an aside in his eulogies to emphasize the following: “The generation born after the civil war will not know that the former Eastern region, comprising East-Central State, South-Eastern state, and Rivers state, enjoyed a highly developed road network, with probably the highest quality road density in sub-Saharan Africa. These had been damaged or neglected during the war. Ukpabi Asika planned to reconstruct and modernize these.

“My brother, let’s just say I slept at a fuel station, looking for fuel.”

“For which of the women in your life, because I hear these days, to please a woman in Nigeria, you must be ready to supply the three major things lacking in the land: money, fuel, and happiness.”

“Leave that matter, please. My condolences on the death of your man, Governor Abubakar Audu”

“We thank God for his life. He played his part.”

““To be so close to breasting the tape and then fall.”

Idris Elba

When the Sony hack haemorrhaged damning emails from execs arguing over whether Idris Elba should play the iconic spy-cum-seducer of women James Bond, everyone had an opinion, some uglier than other.

Anthony Horowitz said that Elba was “too street” to play Bond, surely the phrase that will haunt him the rest of his career; Elba casually brushed aside the slight with a suave Instagram saying, “Always keep smiling!! It takes no energy and never hurts! Learned that from the street!!” with a smiley face emoji at the end. Since then, everyone has either campaigned for Elba or against him, but Elba himself has remained oddly mum. Now, in an interview with the Telegraph, he says, “Enough is enough.” He’s simply done talking about James Bond:

Late Abubakar Audu

A battle seems to be building up in Kogi state after supporters of the Audu's dynasty vowed to impeach any person chosen by the party as a successor to Audu other than his son Mohammed.

Abubakar Audu died on Sunday, November 22, while the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was announcing the governorship election results.

The state executive of the party has therefore adopted Mohammed as a successor to his father Abubakar Audu, who died last weekend after leading with 41,000 votes in the Kogi election.

According to Channels TV, a Court of Appeal sitting in Makurdi, the capital of Benue State has nullified the election of former senate president, David Mark.
