An Audio recording of how PDP alleged rigged the governorship election in Ekiti state has gone viral on the internet.

The audio above implicates PDP in the rigging of Ekiti governorship election, last year.  

Well, see how SaharaReporters reported it after the cut...

SaharaReporters has received unimpeachable documents and audio recordings providing substantial evidence that major Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leaders planned and successfully rigged the gubernatorial elections in Ekiti State, and plotted a similar scenario in Osun in 2014.  

The audio recordings and affidavit were provided by Sagir Koli, a Captain in the 32nd Artillery Brigade stationed in Ekiti State, who has since fled the country for fear of retaliation. Capt. Koli recorded the conversation on 20th June 2014 when he was asked to accompany his Commanding Officer, Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, to the meeting.  The venue was held at Spotless Hotel in Ado-Ekiti.

The audio recordings depict the meeting as being attended by the eventual “winner” of the election, Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti; Senator Iyiola Omisore; a man identified as Honorable Abdulkareem; the Minister for Police Affairs Caleb Olubolade; and Senator Musiliu Obanikoro who was at the time the Minister of State for Defence. Mr. Chris Uba came to Ekiti with huge stash cash and soldiers from the East to carry out the assignment. Read the rest onSaharareporters.com

Private sector advised to close early, as Lagos declares public holiday for collection of PVC

The Lagos State Government has declared Friday, February 6, as a work-free day for its workers.

This was disclosed in a statement by the state Head of Service, Oluseyi Williams.

The government also urged private sector employers to release their workers early to enable those of them who are yet to collect their Permanent Voter Cards to do so.

“We are enjoining private sector employers to release their workers early today for the same purpose, Governor Babatunde Fashola said the desired prosperity and the brighter rewarding future being sought after by the people, both for themselves and for their children, would be determined by their willingness to sacrifice time to key into the election process by collecting their Permanent Voter Cards for the elections,” the statement said.

The statement further urged the workers to take the opportunity of the holiday to collect their PVCs at their polling unit.

Nigerian woman keeps late brother’s decomposed body in wardrobe for 2 years (PICTURED)

A popular food vendor in Eke-Awka market, Anambra State, Ngozi Aloefuna, has been arrested for being in custody of the remains of her brother, Stephen Aloefuna, a former footballer with Rangers International Club in the 80s.

His body was hidden in the family house for the about 2 years.

Residents of Amikwo Village, Awka South Local Government Area, where the incident happened, even went as far as accusing Ngozi of mischievously harvesting her brother’s body parts to cook the food she sells to the public in the market

Sun news reports that the remains of the man had turned into a skeleton when it was discovered by one of his brothers, who pressed Ngozi to show him where the late Stephen was buried.

The man, stunned by the bizarre sight, raised the alarm that attracted neighbours to the room. The sight shocked the neighbours, as they never imagined that they had lived with a decomposing corpse for the past two years.

When Ngozi was asked whether she was guilty of cooking her brother’s body parts, she said:

"I am innocent. I did not kill my brother. Everybody knew he had a mental problem and was seriously sick before he died. Before he died, I was the only person that was taking care of him for years and nobody asked me how he was faring until he died. They said I killed him and used his body to prepare the food that I sell but only God knows the truth. I leave it for God to judge. I decided to cover him till he, one of our brothers, comes back because only I cannot bury him. After two years of his death, some of our family members came and asked of him and I told them he is dead and they said I should show them his grave. I opened his room and showed them where he died. Then I was arrested and taken to the police station" 

Ngozi denied embalming the corpse with native herbs to dry it and prevent any odour in the neighbourhood. One of the residents of the area told our reporter that a pungent smell pervaded the air within the area for many months in the past but no one could trace the source of the stinking odour. It was after the shocking discovery was made that residents felt disgusted of inhaling such odour from a decomposing corpse.

The remains of the deceased were taken to the police station, while Ngozi was detained and interrogated for some days. She was later granted bail when some of her kindred intervened. The relatives also buried the remains of late Stephen in their family compound.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Uche Eze, confirmed the incident and said that investigations were ongoing.

Why Nollywood Can’t Afford To Lose 'Goodluck' Jonathan - By Charles Novia

Another interesting article written by Nollywood director/producer and social media critic, Charles Novia. 

Let us admit it – we have never seen any President so besotted with entertainment like Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, especially the movie-making sector. And this is not a satire.

Yes, his detractors may point at “weakness” for entertainment as a signpost of an unserious mind frittering the commonwealth on ‘joli-joli’ matters! Even the opposition may grumble loudly that the lively engagement with the Nollywood is essentially exploitative and window-dressing – to the detriment of more important and critical sectors of the national economy.

However, no one is in doubt that the life and essence the Creative wayfarers was initially ignited by Bayelsa governor, the much maligned Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, immediate boss of GEJ around year 2000. With dizzying state support and elaborate razzmatazz, the duo of Alams and GEJ wallowed in the sudden euphoria of showbiz and the attendant media opulence only comparable to IBB’s romance with PMAN’s ding-a-long of 1989 – 1992 when Tony Okoroji was the majordomo.

 It was no surprise GEJ flowed with the momentum when fortune made him supplant Alams as Gov. of Bayelsa in December 2005. Yet, for all his enthusiasm for professional revelries, the make-believe could not have believed their luck when good ol’ providence thrusted GEJ, again, into greater prominence.

In quick succession, he moved from Vice-President to Acting President and eventually President within two years! By 2011 when he assumed office, on his own stamina, the Nollywood romance had blown out of the creek waters. The two lovebirds were careering giddily on a thoroughfare peopled with great thespians, gifted producers, immaculate directors and of course a coterie of charlatans and ‘waka-pass’.

 With technocrats within the federal service and the movie industry, different modules of foundational interventions were crafted – and cash-backed like never before. Millions of naira were mentioned, which ballooned, to the consternation of nay-sayers, to billions of naira in creative “stimulus packages”.

In the past ten years of GEJ’s unstinted romance with a powerful sector of the entertainment community, it is very uncharitable (even for inveterate detractors) to say that Jonathan has not “performed”. You may quarrel with the impact or management of his interventions; you may yap him and his people for mystifying the process and access to the several GEJ interventions in the Artsworld.

You may claim he has lost similar interest or attention to details in other critical sectors of the Nigerian state. However, no one can simply dismiss his unprecedented regard, affinity and seeming devotion to the people, practice and promise of Nigeria’s movie-making community and allied sectors.

 In his six years as President, GEJ has arguably awarded more national honours to our artistes than all the past regimes rolled together!

So, when you hear and see leading lights of Nollywood rooting aggressively for GEJ; when you read famed voices shouting on the roof of their cyper-pages and declaring the ceaseless glory of GEJ; when you read otherwise quiet prima-donnas spit fire and engage in internet-‘gra-gra’ with many of their tele-fans…for the sake of their beloved Moses (Jonathan) – you really must understand and appreciate their position – enlightened self-interest (a completely natural instinct).

They are not ‘bought’, ‘turn-coats’ or ‘ass-licking’ – against their will or legacy. They simply are paying good back to the man who has brought them a load of luck – and thus enhancing their means of livelihood, and embellishing their relevance. No pun intended. 

 This 2015 presidential election is a watershed for Nollywood. They cannot see anything in the “Change”-troopers to indicate that their groovy-train will go on; GMB has not even for once coughed about any plans for Nollywood, one of the major revelations of the 2014 rebasing parameters! It does appear that GMB does not even know that Nollywood exists – beyond gyrations at campaign rallies!

So, stop yakking at Nollywooders if they have little or no sympathies for GMB – he is disconnected from them in the past decade, at least. And within that same period, GMB’s main opponent has been their God-sent.

Most assuredly I say to you: a good friend is difficult to find – and keep; Nollywood can’t afford to lose this Goodluck. God forbid!!

The Fire Of God Will Burn Pastors Collecting Bribe From Politicians - Pastor Adeboye Reacts To Gov Amaechi's Allegation

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned that pastors should avoid facing the wrath of God by refusing to collect bribes from politicians.

“I read in the newspaper this morning that one of the serving governors in Nigeria said that some pastors in Nigeria collected N6bn from politicians for the purpose of influencing their members to vote a certain candidate in the coming elections.

“May I humbly request that if there be any pastor or pastors who collected such money, they should please return such as quickly as possible before the fire of the Almighty consumes you,” he posted on his official Facebook page.

This follows allegations by the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has bribed some pastors with N6bn to work against the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its presidential candidate,Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.candidate.

Kendall Jenner Poses Topless For Love Magazine

Love Magazine must be trying to form some sort of Kardashian Collection of semi-naked and sexually suggestive snaps. 

19-year-old Kendall Jenner and model of the family has posed for yet another provocative shot for the magazine, this time with what appears to be photoshopped funbags. The normally flat-chested top runway star is sporting some XXL boobs in this topless shot, leaked to the internet on Wednesday.

She’s previously strutted her way down the catwalk with her breasts on show.

So it is perhaps not entirely surprising that she has joined big sister Kim Kardashian in posing topless for the latest edition of Love magazine, standing triumphantly in just a pair of black shorts.

But while the face is all Kendall, the body has clearly been digitally manipulated.
