LADY GOES MISSING AFTER HELPING HER DAD TO WITHDRAW N50K !
PRESIDENCY REACTS TO 2FACE PLANNED PROTEST ...SEE DEDE MABIAKU WALKS OUT ON LIVE PROGRAMME (VIDEO) !
Speaking in an interview with Lagos Talk 91.3fm, Senior Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said those who are calling for the protest are people who supported the last government and are still pained that they lost the last election.
"This is a country of about 180 million people. It is impossible for 180 million people to think the same way. Yoruba has a saying that is you all sleep and put your head in the same direction, then you are all foolish because you would be breathing in one another's mouth and lungs. Dont forget the last election and how it went. Somebody scored 12.5 million votes, another scored about 15 million votes. There are some people who are still in that election mode. They have not gotten out of it and till today, they are still living and "rheumatisizing" about the past. What they don't know is that that past is gone and gone forever. Majority of those calling for the protest are still in election mode. Majority of them are people that have resolved not to see anything good in this administration simply because the man they wanted lost at the polls" he said.

OAP Freeze used the photo to call out RCCG. Read what he wrote after the cut...
"Redeemed was busy setting up churches on every street, yet they missed this boy..... I bet with you, that there was a Redeemed church within walking distance from this starving child, branded a witch by the same doltish belief system that extorts your first salary every January, having you willingly give your hard earned money in a recession, to a church where the G.O has a private jet and leads a life of sheer opulence!

The Nigerian Pentecostal church brands people wearing tattoos as bad and 'unchristian' whereas this woman with all her tattoos is more Christ like than all your 'Daddy GOs' can ever be. What she is doing is all Jesus requires of us, Jesus NEVER COLLECTED TITHE or first fruit and his disciples didn't collect it either!
As a matter of fact, no Christian church collected tithe for 600 years after Christ died and resurrected.

History claims that Mungo Park discovered the Niger and we wonder "what were the Nigerians living around the Niger doing, that it had to take a foreigner to discover a river we were bathing in and washing from?" My answer was simple "The same thing we were doing when hope was found" ~FRZ

P.S. Anyone that demands your entire January salary from you, in this recession, is a thief! Anyone who gives it is a fool!

WIFE SEEKS DIVORCE FROM 'JOBLESS' HUSBAND FOR DECEIVING HER ABOUT HIS JOB STATUS BEFORE MARRIAGE!
Faith,civil servant, told the court that her jobless husband had deceived her into believing he had a source of livelihood before their marriage, adding that she only got to knew about his status as a ‘job-less’ person after they had tied the knot.
“He never told me that he had no job, instead he kept telling me that he works with the Zenith Bank and that he has a business in Lagos, that yields him millions.
“It was after I got married to him that I discovered the whole truth about him,” Faith said.
She told the court that Joseph had also told her that he had built a house somewhere in Lugbe, but that after investigating, she realised that it was false.
Faith said all her efforts to encourage him find a job did not elicit any positive response, as such she wanted the marriage dissolved.
“He is lazy and does not want to do anything for a living; I have been lending him money, hoping that he would pay back. “I sponsored our wedding, I even lent him money to pay my bride price,” she said.
The petitioner said that she had reported the matter to her elder sister to see if she could advise him but to no avail.
“I beg this court to dissolve my marriage so that I can be free; I am tired of feeding, clothing and paying medical bills for my husband ,” she pleaded.
The Presiding Judge, Mr Everyman Eleanya, however reiterated that the respondent had not been in court since the beginning of the case and therefore ordered that a Hearing Notice be pasted in his sister’s house.
He adjourned the case to Feb. 9, for continuation of hearing. (NAN)
BIAFRA TIMES PUBLISHER AND NINE OTHERS ARRAIGNED ON SEDITION CHARGES
The accused, Peter Eke, the publisher, Jamiu Eke, Azeez Ayoola, Akeem Adebakin, Bisi Akeem, Adewumi Temitope, Sakiru Folorunsho, Rafiu Qudus, Kunle Olusola, and Ayodeji Odunyinbo, were arrested on Sunday night, January 29th, at a room located at no 33 Oguntolu Street, Somolu.
Lagos State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, while parading the 10 suspects after the arrest ; said 515 copies of the offending newspaper were recovered during a raid on the printing press in Shomolu, Lagos. The printing press has been shut and the environment is being monitored. This is an offence punishable under the Criminal Law of Lagos State," Owoseni said.
The 30-year-old Eke, however, told journalists that he had no intention to promote disunity and disharmony among Nigerians. "I love my country and I love my president. My intention is not to fight my country; I just want to pass out information to those who have no access to the Internet. I usually go on the Internet to source for information and publish. I have other papers on sports and social life which I publish. I decided to specialise on Biafra Times when I discovered it is always a sell-out anytime we published stories about eastern parts of the country. Sometimes, I go to newspaper vendors and hear people requesting for Biafra Times. We usually print about 5000 copies which we sell for N100 nationwide," he said.
The accused all pleaded not guilty to the seven count charges preferred against them by the Lagos State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID)
After their plea, their lawyer, Lucy Baadoo, had moved an application for bail of the accused, urging the court to release the accused on bail on liberal terms.
The bail application was however refused by the magistrate who rather ordered accelerated hearing of the case. She consequently adjourned the case to February 10, 17 and 24 for commencement of trial.
In the charge, the prosecutor, Effiong Asuquo, OC Legal of the State Criminal Investigations Department, Panti Yaba, alleged that the accused projected obscene article in an unlicensed publication known as ‘The Biafra Times’ on January 29, 2017
They were alleged to have reproduced statements, rumors and reports calculated at inciting secession in a section of the Nigerian federation and which publication is capable of putting the federal government in fear.
The publication is said to contain pictorial displays of persons living and dead in a manner likely to provoke or bring into disaffection some section of the Nigerian federation.
The accused were also alleged to have conducted themselves in a manner likely to constitute a breach of peace, by inducing fear in the public to abstain from going about their lawful business.
The offences is said to have contravened the provisions of Section 58, 59 and 403 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, Cap C17 Laws of the Federation, 2015.
THE ROYAL FATHER OF THE DAY: ALAYELUWA DE WHENO AHOLU MENU-TOYI 1(OFR,LL.D, D.Litt, JP) THE AKRAN OF BADAGRY
De Wheno Aholu Menu-Toyi I (OFR,LL.D, D.Litt, JP), The Akran of Badagry Kingdom, was born in Lagos Island on 18th September, 1936. He is the fifth child of the 13th Akran of Badagry, His Majesty De Wheno Aholu Ajiyon-Kanho. He holds sway over a swathe of territory covering Badagry town and 70 adjourning villages and districts spread across the mainland and islands in Southwest Nigeria.
The Akran of Badagry, ascended to the throne of his fore-father in 1977 and before then, he was a journalist whose exploits in the pen profession started in 1961 in the then West African Pilot established by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, and spread across several platforms including Daily Sketch and New Nigeria where he rose to the position of Acting News Editor, South.
Before him, Badagary had been ruled by 14 paramount rulers, since the days of Akran Gbafoe in 1425.
Akran Menu-Toyi 1 is the permanent Vice-Chairman of Lagos State Council of Oba’s and Chiefs.
Badagry is the cradle of West African civilisation starting from 1839 when 500 slaves were liberated from Sierra Leone by the British and they were brought to Badagry to enable them go to their homes
The first educational system of Nigeria as a British colony started in Badagry where the first primary school was established by the Wesleyan mission (Methodist Church) in 1843 and named Nursery of Infant Church which later became St. Thomas’ Anglican Nursery and Primary School, founded by Rev. Golmer of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) in 1845, inside the first storey building in Badagry.
The Wesleyans in the same year 1843 then went to central Lagos and founded Olowogbowo Methodist School and Ereko Methodist School in 1869. Olowogbowo Methodist School is still waxing strong located just behind Wesley Cathedral Olowogbowo while Ereko Mehodist School was relocated to Berkely Street and is also still waxing strong. The first secondary school in Badagry was built over one hundred years later called Badagry Grammar School in 1955 due to misunderstanding between the Missionaries and the natives that made them leave the town unceremoniously
De Wheno Aholu Menu-Toyi 1 was honored with the National Award of the Officer of the Federal Republic (OFR) in March 1981. On 7th April 1990, he was installed as the Chancellor of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt and also on the occasion, he was awarded the Doctor of Laws (LL.D) Honoris Causa. On May 15, 2010, the Late President of Nigeria, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’adua, approved the appointment of His Majesty, De Wheno Aholu as Chancellor, University of Port Harcourt and on Saturday, 15th May, 2010, during the 26th Convocation of the university, he was installed as the Chancellor and again conferred with the Doctors of Letters (D.Litt) Honoris Causa.
The Akran said he could not also forget in a hurry what he considered as his most embarrassing moment in life as he recalled: “One day in 1978, when Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe (retired) was the military administrator of Lagos State, he came to Badagry on an official visit and we prepared for him because it was just about a year after my coronation.
“We arranged for cultural displays and did all we could to entertain him. We just heard all of a sudden that he would not be coming to the palace again as the tradition demands. He actually came to Badagry, but he did not visit the palace. It was disturbing and quite puzzling, but few days later, we knew the reason for his action. We were told that some people informed him that I am stubborn and headstrong, and that I should have come to welcome him at the Badagry Roundabout. They went further to inform him that I disliked his administration and that I was promoting sectionalism.
“Ebitu Ukiwe agreed with the misconception and lies when he did not see me at the roundabout to welcome him. He saw me as an enemy of his government. He was very angry with me and he cancelled his scheduled visit to the palace. It was a story that was promoted by the media. It took the intervention of my senior colleague at the Daily Sketch who was the press officer of the then Head of State, General Olusegun Obasanjo, Mr. Nwokoye, who did not only intervened, but implored the Head of State to intervene.
“It was Gen. Obasanjo who then educated the governor on the tradition in Yorubaland that any visiting president or governor must visit the palace of the paramount ruler before they can now go with him to other places of interest in his domain. He told the governor that it is not done in Yorubaland for a royal father to leave his palace to receive a visitor outside. Ebitu Ukiwe argued that when he was in Niger State, the Emir came to the airport to welcome him. But the head of state told him that the traditions were different and advised him to contact me so that we could resolve the matter amicably.
“The administrator did not get in touch with me until three months later. When he contacted me, I went to him and we talked it over. I was greatly embarrassed by this incident because I was expecting the governor with all my chiefs and notable people in the kingdom. It was a great embarrassment.’’
