GENERAL OLUKOLADE ASKED NIGERIAN TO ASK HIM ANY QUESTIONS NOW.....

Major General Chris Olukolade, the Nigerian Defence Spokesperson took to twitter this evening to set the record straight. It will be recalled that some Nigerian soldiers spoke with CNN exclusively and exposed what they claim is the 'rot' in the military, i.e, they buy their own kit, they are not well equipped etc.

General Olukolade asked Nigerians to ask whatever questions they wanted to know about what the Nigerian military is doing in their battle against Boko Haram etc. ... link up with him.. @GENOlukolade or #DefenseNGspeaks

FAYOSE'S ADVERT... DESPERATION BEYOND UNDERSTANDING..SAYS BUHARI

 The front page advertisement on the cover of Punch Newspaper today has got everyone talking. The advert, sponsored by Ayo Fayose, Ekiti State Governor ,urged Nigerians to vote for Goodluck Jonathan in order for history to “avoid repeating itself with State Burials”.

The questions I want Ayo Fayose to answer are what history are we talking about here? Is he talking about the burials that occurred due to the 6-year mismanagement of Jonathan administration?  Or the senseless killing by the Boko Haram? See Buhari ‘s responses to Fayose’s tweet after the cut.....

SO SAD: NIGERIAN MAN ALLEGEDLY BEATEN HER WIFE TO DEATH IN MALAYSIA...

Just yesterday, one Bisi Olabode, took to twitter to narrate how her friend late Ese Egagah, (pictured above) died from injuries allegedly sustained from beating by her husband in far away Malaysia. In a twinkle of an eye, another letter surfaced (courtesy Linda Ikeji’s blog) purportedly written by one ‘Aghogho’ , who claimed to be her sister , deny that her Malaysian based husband had anything to do with her death ! The million dollar question that is begging for an answer now is, which story should we believe now? See the tweets, Aghogho’s letter and more pictures after the cut... 

 Another of her friend tweet thus...

Aghogho’s letter below:

It is sad people will jump to conclusion from mere desperate lies posted to you. I am the younger sister to late Ese Tracy Egagah Enearu who died on Saturday in Delta State. The Bisi who started this whole story is unknow to Ese's family and never her friend we know of. My sister died of an ailment we are still trying to confirm through an autopsy and not from domestic violence as wrongly informed by the faceless Bisi. 

She did not suffer any domestic voilence from her husband and he was a loving husband to her late wife. The family will release an official statement after her Autopsy. We are force to send this comment to stop the malicious rumour that the husband was responsible for her death. The man in question just lost his loving wife and soulmate and in heavy shock and does not deserve to be made more measerable by this wicked rumour going about.

Thanks,
Aghogho for the Family.
