Shit Inside Abuja: Two brothers spotted roaming the streets, naked

Two brothers have been spotted roaming the streets of Gwarinpa, Abuja, on Thursday, September 22, stark naked.

Despite speculations that the duo were ritualists, The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Complaint Response Unit,CRU, Abayomi Shogunle, has revealed that they were under the influence of drugs.

A young lady has taken to her Facebook page to lament the domestic violence she suffers at the hands of her husband who is a pastor.

The housewife, Princess Oritsema Ekwejunor, told of battering, torture and pains she has endured at the hand of her husband identified asOmasan Mabiaku, since the beginning of their marriage.

Why did Patience do it? Why is she taking on the EFCC, even threatening to sue the agency over a matter that she was not a party to in court? I can only think of suicidal courage as her motivation, a gift, which appears to be at odds with her husband’s meekness.

It’s not nice to speak badly of first ladies. Not nice at all. Not because they will send you to jail or castrate you as a few of them could some time ago, but I guess there’s a quiet social taboo that just restrains us from throwing the kitchen sink at the mothers of the nation.

PDP candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, yesterday said he has been vindicated on his claim about the high debt profile of the state by the Debt Management Office, DMO. In that respect, the candidate has tasked the outgoing governor to explain the N1.9 trillion allegedly received in the last 8 years.

A statement by the Ize-Iyamu Campaign Organisation also stated that the debt management office’s (DMO) release as reported by many national dailies, had settled Governor Oshiomhole’s claims that he never took foreign loans.

The three remaining Lagos landlords abducted on Saturday, September 17, have been released by their captors. A source reportedly disclosed the news to The Eagle Online who was the first to break it.

Following the kidnap which took place in Lekki Gardens Estate, around the Isheri North area of Lagos State, by unknown gunmen, the culprits called the families of the victims demandingransom of N300 million each, threatening to harm the captives if they fail to meet their demands.

Economy On Its Knees As Recession Bites By Emmanuel Nwachukwu

It is hard to find anyone in Nigeria today that is not affected one way or another by the worsening state of the economy. The goodwill that ushered this government to power has all but evaporated. In my recent VISITto Nigeria, I overheard a conversation between two roadside hawkers on the rising cost of living in the country and when one mentioned the word “change”, the other retorted angrily, “Holy ghost fire kill that change”!

Nigerians have become beggars because of the lack of work and non-payment of salaries. Even those that are lucky to receive their salaries regularly have seen their pay slashed by as much as 50 per cent. Our hospitals have become mere consulting centres where patients go to die because of the lack of basic medical equipment. With inflation spiralling out of control, because of the rising cost of inputs, business

An eight-months pregnant lady who just married last month has lost her life due to some pregnancy related sickness, according to her heartbroken cousin, Raphael Chima, who posted the sad news on his Facebook wall.

According to Chima, the lady got married when her pregnancy was well advanced and the family was looking forward to her giving birth but instead of the atmosphere of celebration they had

Ex-Governor of Ekiti State, Segun Oni has said many Nigerians would have become refugees in the country if ex-President Goodluck Jonathan's administration had succeeded in winning 2015 Presidential election.

The Deputy National Chairman, (South) of the All Progressives Congress APC made this known in an interview session with Vanguard Newspaper.

Oni said: "The reality on ground is that if the previous Government were in power, by now, Nigeria would have virtually packed up; may be many of us would be refugees by now. So, it is very easy not to remember where we are coming from. Yes, we were elected to do the impossible, we will do our own best."

The Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, has warned the Special Anti-Robbery Squad operatives against torture and extra-judicial killings, saying no policeman in the world had the right or authority to kill crime suspects.

He admonished the SARS personnel to always respect the right of every Nigerian, noting that this was the way they could change the negative public perception about them.

Senators on Thursday opposed their President, Bukola Saraki, kicking against the call for the sale of some national asset.
Mr. Saraki had yesterday joined the call by some Nigerian elite for the federal government to sell some assets to raise funds to help the country out of recession.

Many of the senators, who contributed as the debate on the recession in the country continued in the upper chamber, blamed the elite, including some lawmakers, for the economic problems of the nation.

Tragedy struck at the Ogoja Market, LASU-Igando Road, Lagos State, after operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad shot dead an undergraduate of a polytechnic in Edo State, Eldanojie Joseph.

The 20-year-old business administration student was said to be on a visit to his cousin, Friday Ojah, who lived on Alape Street, Iba Ojo, when he was hit by a stray bullet.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the operatives were chasing a suspected Internet fraudster, identified as Badoo, who had parked his car and fled upon sighting the officers.

Samsung confirmed on Wednesday that it had received three reports of Galaxy Note 7 battery fires in China and investigated two of them.

Samsung and its battery supplier, Amperex Technology, investigated and found the cause of the fires in those two cases was an external heat source, not the phones’ lithium-ion batteries.

Samsung spokeswoman Jee Hae-ryoung said by phone that the company was unable to study the reported third Note 7 fire because the consumer refused to hand in the phone.

I am not in support of the call for the sale of the nation’s oil assets. I don’t see any wisdom in selling the assets because of recession. That would amount to a desperate move to weather the storm.

What are we going to use the money for if the assets are sold? It would be spent to fund recurrent expenditure.

If we must sell the assets, it must be in line with the existing privatisation policy of the country. The Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Limited is one of the assets those who are canvassing the sale listed. And that is the most viable oil asset we have.

Lagos, Kaduna and Edo, with a combined foreign debt profile of $1.84bn, are the most indebted states of the federation as far as subnational foreign debts are concerned, investigation has revealed.

Statistics obtained from the Debt Management Office in Abuja on Wednesday showed that the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory owe $3.65bn in foreign debts as against the $7.61bn owed by the Federal Government as of June 30, 2016; bringing the country’s total foreign debt to $11.26bn

A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that the country needs policies that will boost economic growth.

Sanusi spoke in Lagos on Wednesday at the public presentation of Funmi Oyetunji’s book, ‘A Conscious Life’.

“We need to think through what we do and on the bigger picture too by coming up with policies that will lead us to where we simply want to go,” he said.

A Nigerian police unit set up to combat violent crime has instead been systematically torturing detainees in its custody as a means of extracting confessions and lucrative bribes, Amnesty International said in a report published on September 21.

In Nigeria: You have signed your death warrant, former detainees told Amnesty International. They said they had been subjected to horrific torture methods, including hanging, starvation, beatings, shootings and mock executions, at the hands of corrupt officers from the feared Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).

If adherents of the President and backers of this administration are in search of men who will always concur and stand in agreement with all their steps and missteps in government; if they are in a frantic dig for those who will always say “yes” to things sometimes they ought to voice “no” against; if they are dredging for applauding docile minds and scouring for saluting submissive souls, there are many Nigerians, including this writer, who don’t belong in that league.

Nigeria is not working and will never work in the way that it is presently configured. The unitary system that we practice is evil and takes everybody backward. It does not just underdevelop us but also generates tension and crises. The earlier we restructure Nigeria and entrench true federalism, the better.

The Ndokwa nationality is supposed to be one the richest ethnic groups in Nigeria by virtue of their natural wealth. They have abundant natural resources beneath their soil. Yet, they have become one of the poorest due to the skewed nature of Nigeria’s unitary system that exploits the minorities and their resources and leaves them impoverished.

A Nigerian blogger on Thursday spent his fourth night in detention for writing a controversial blog post.
Jamil Mabai, a blogger based in the Northwestern state of Katsina, was arrested by officers of the Nigerian Police Force on Monday in Kaduna.

The blogger is a known critic of the Katsina administration led by Aminu Masari on his blog, Cliqq Magazine.
A Magistrate Court in Katsina on Thursday declined jurisdiction to try him. The judge instead asked that he be further detained.

Isaiah 60:19-22

THE GLORY OF THE NATION RESTORED

… for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Isaiah 60:19, NIV

A terrible agony to bear in life is the agony of lost or departed glory, especially the glory of God. It is better not to experience it

GABORONE (Reuters) – Zimbabwe’s 92-year-old President Robert Mugabe should step aside without delay and allow new leadership of a country whose political and economic implosion since 2000 is dragging down the whole of southern Africa, Botswana President Ian Khama said.

Despite his reputation as one of Africa’s most outspoken figures, Khama’s remarks are certain to raise hackles in Harare, where factions of Mugabe’s ruling ZANU-PF party are locked in a bitter struggle to succeed the only leader Zimbabwe has known.

Segun's Thoughts

If you don't feature in your future mental picture then there is problem!!
Don't be afraid though, you can still feature.
Amen, Amen.

If you had a dream about how your future will look like or will be and you discovered that you did not feature in it there is a big problem. You must feature in that dream if you want it to be fulfilled.

There is indeed cause for worry. When three major domestic airlines get grounded in weeks, you are bound to begin to imagine the country itself is shutting down.

This was the feeling recently as three airlines: Aero Contractors; First Nation and Arik announced in quick succession, their inability to continue to fly their domestic and foreign routes.

Although Arik Airlines, the biggest of them all, has announced its return to business, not so for the other two. Aero on its part insists it is undergoing “strategic realignment” for improved profitability, it may take a while to return as it is enmeshed in deep debt issues with the Assets Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON), which has already taken over management of the firm.

A civil servant, Rose Archibong, on Wednesday told a Nyanya Customary Court, Abuja, that her husband, Uko Effiong, has threatened to use her and her children for money ritual.

Rose, the petitioner, who resides in Nyanya, said this when she testified in a divorce petition she filed against her husband.

“My husband said he will kill me and my children and use us for money ritual.

Curiously, I heard for the first time in Toronto, from some Nigerian filmmakers no less, a new name, ‘New Nigerian Cinema’, to describe our film industry. We’ve heard “Nollywood”, “New Nollywood”, “Nollywood 2.0”, and now ‘New Nigerian Cinema’? Is the industry evolving? Are the players in the industry changing?

There was only one reason why I decided to attend the Toronto International Film Festival this year. To feel like a filmmaker again. Well, also because this year, the Festival had chosen Lagos as the city in focus for their annual “City to City” feature and spotlight on the bubbling film industry.

A 42-year-old businessman has accused his wife of being a thief at an Igando Customary Court in Lagos.

Urging the court to dissolve his marriage of four years, Livinus Uwa, claimed that he had married a thief who always stole his money and wardrobe.

Uwa made the disclosure while testifying in his divorce petition against his wife, Chineye, on Wednesday, September 21.

AS school children resume from the long vacation, Vanguard investigations revealed that parents have commenced withdrawing their children from private schools to public ones, attributing their action to the harsh economic situation in the country.

Parents and school owners, who spoke to Vanguard yesterday, lamented the bad economic situation, with proprietors stating that since resumption their schools have been witnessing a low turnout of returning pupils. Mrs Gladys Adewumi, whose three children were in Living Joy Nursery and Primary School, Ikorodu, said she withdrew two of her children from the private school to a public school when it was apparent her husband could not cope financially.

The long-standing comedian created a video to mark the event and shared it on his IG page.

In the short video, Klint referred to his wife as his rock, the most beautiful lady he knows, the strongest woman he knows... basically she is just his everything, [Awwwwn, so sweet.]

The victims of alleged herdsmen’s brutality in Agatu Local Government of Benue have prayed the ECOWAS Court to compel the Federal Government to pay them N10 billion as compensation.

In a previous article, we listed the things you must absolutely do during your honeymoon.

One of the things we listed, one which several couples actually look forward to, is good, romantic sex.

It is not ridiculous to say that good sex is a big component of every good honeymoon experience.

…how would a woman, who should be sued on behalf of the IDPs, nursing mothers, pregnant women, school children, market women and the sick, all of who had suffered deprivation, on account of the activities of her husband’s government, in which she was an active participant, have the effrontery to sue the EFCC for peeping into her closets of looted funds?

The former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan obviously enjoys the glitz of life in the limelight, even if such publicity is negatively skewed against her. This past week has seen so much of that, but the glamorous and powerful woman of yesteryears appears unperturbed about her perception by many as a bad representative of that office.

Brad Pitt are Angelina Jolie might be separated now, as they wait for the finalization of their divorce.

That's pretty sad when you consider how great they were as a couple while the marriage lasted.

They managed 12 years together; and if you look at it, that’s enough time to get enough experience and be able to share some relationship advice.

So in this article, we list the best 5 advice the power-couple shared with us over the years.

Angelina and Brad Pitt (IB Times)

Take a leap of faith

Brad believes that whatever will be will be, so everyone should give themselves a shot at love and marriage. You really will not know what your marriage will be like if you do not actually marry.

"A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss. That's the trade-off.

But I'll take it all ... One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I'm so happy to have her," Brad tells Parade.

Brangelina (People)

Family first, all the time

Work should always come after family, according to Brad Pitt.

Yes. The star actor, appearing on CBS This Morning, is of the opinion that putting your career ahead of everything is fine, until you start a family.

"The work has gotten better because I worry less about it — it's family. Family becomes the source of joy or worry. It takes any pressure of self-absorption away; it just evaporates. It makes it freer," he says.

Push each other to be the best

In an interview with Elle, Angelina advises that couples shouldn't just love each other. They should also push each other to attain the best at whatever you do.

"You get together and you're two individuals and you feel inspired by each other, you challenge each other, you complement each other, drive each other beautifully crazy," she says.

Save your wild side only for your partner

The couple believe the ‘bad’ side of everyone should be kept for their partners. [Apparently, Brad's views changed over time, yeah?]

Anyway, when both the couple appeared on 60 Minutes, Angelina said she still retained her ‘bad’ side.

"I'm still a bad girl," she says.

“Yes, she is, but that's not for public consumption,"Brad adds.
