Actress Joke Silva joins advocacy group to preach non-violent election

A group, Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy, and Development has expressed concern over the inability the major political parties to abide by the various peace accords they signed.

Lending her voice to the call, veteran actor, Joke Sylver appealed to youths to restrain from killing themselves for desperate politicians.

She, however, advised all candidates to emulate former Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi to relinquish power if they lose election.

“Let’s take Governor Kayode Fayemi for example; did he make Ekiti ungovernable just because he lost? That is a mark of a true democratic leader and so that is what we ask all our leaders contesting this election.

“Anyone that wins should be magnanimous and the one who loses should accept defeat and start working for the next elections.

“I’m calling on all electorates to speak up if they see or observe anyone violating the electoral process.

“As for the traditional rulers, it is high time they realized that they are the custodians of our tradition. It is expected that they identify the youth corpers or INEC staff that will come to their community to carry out their function. These young people (corpers) need to be offered protection,” she said.

Guru Maharaji Reveals Who'll Win Presidential Election

Renown spiritual leader One Love Family,Sat Guru Maharaji has came up with his own prediction on who will win the forthcoming presidential election.

It was learnt that Guru Maharaji, inauspiciously advised the All Progressives Congress and its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), to forget Nigeria’s presidency.

“There is no vacancy for Buhari at Aso Rock,” he declared in a statement on Sunday. Guru Maharaj Ji continued by saying, “President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is the verifiable divine choice of the forthcoming presidential election. As the Living Perfect Master of creation in whose hands the fate of Nigerian project lies spiritually, I declare divinity’s decision to return Jonathan to Aso Rock over Muhammadu Buhari.

“I had publicly and sufficiently advised Buhari against nursing the ambition to rule Nigeria again. Superior forces are actually in-charge of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am at the helm of these great and unseen primordial powers of creation.

“My commitment to ensuring that Buhari and his fellow Anglo-American proxies do not deflect Nigeria off its path of gradual transition to authentic sovereignty, sustainable unity and real prosperity is sacrosanct. Nigeria is no longer to be ruled by feudal agents of Western neo-colonial power and Arab imperialists,” Guru added.

He also urged all lovers of freedom, fairness and human dignity in Nigeria to vote for President Jonathan, saying, 

“He is an authentic component of Nigeria’s divinely graphed transition to greatness. His return to Aso Rock will further secure Nigeria from being re-enslaved by those who insist they were born to rule.”

My husband is medically fit, will win and rule - Mrs Buhari

HAJIYA Aisha Buhari, wife of the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, has said her husband would secure the mandate of Nigerians and win the Saturday’s election.

She home noted that though some people said Buhari is old, what was not in dispute, according to her, was the fact that the presidential candidate is medically fit.

While addressing APC women supporters from Kaduna, Jigawa and Katsina, who had converged on Kano for a town hall meeting,  asked the women to vote   Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of power.

“We are not in Kano to campaign, but to say thanks. Kano is strategic in northern Nigeria, whoever you embrace politically is highly favoured,” she had told the women.

Buhari should explain to Nigerians what he forgot in government that he want to go back collect – Patience Jonathan

Nigeria’s First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, on Monday advised Enugu women not to cast their votes for General Muhammadu Buhari of the APC, else they would end up in prison custody with their husbands.

The First Lady spoke during PDP women rally at the Michael Okpara Square, Enugu.

While reeling out names of prominent Igbo personalities, including late Biafra warlord, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu, who she said were all imprisoned by Buhari, she urged the women to reject APC in order to escape such experience.

Mrs. Jonathan stated that while Jonathan’s government had been busy building schools, Buhari’s sole agenda was to build prisons.

She added that the APC does not know the meaning of corruption, neither do they know the meaning of change which they have been clamouring for.

“APC does not know the meaning of corruption. They don’t know the meaning of corruption. They say they want change; they don’t know the meaning of change. Shall we change from good to bad?

“They are more corrupt than any other person. If we open cans of warms, they will run. Let us open our can of warms and see if they will not run”, the First Lady said.

She wondered what Buhari forgot in government that he wanted to come back to collect saying,”we reject Buhari and his party. Holy Ghost fire. What did he forget at Government House that he wants to come to collect?”

She maintained that APC was a dead party that had started running helter skelter.

“APC is an expired drug”, she said and urged women to vote for her husband en-masse.

Angry Man Beheads Vehicle Inspection Officer For Seizing His Cell Phone

A man, Wale Ede, 25, has been arrested for allegedly beheading a 50-year-old Vehicle Inspection Officer and father of seven, Joshua Fagbola.

According to reports by Punch, Ede attacked Fagbola when he was about to start the engine of his motorbike and leave the venue of the wake.

The deceased had on Thursday reportedly seized the cell phone of his suspected killer when he failed to supply the brick block for which he had been paid.

Ede, on sighting the VIO at the wake, had rushed home to fetch a machete and inflicted cuts on the deceased’s neck and other parts of the body.

The Ekiti Police Public Relations Officer, Alberto Adeyemi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, confirmed the incident revealing that the suspect was being held at the Criminal Investigation Department at the police headquarters in Ado Ekiti.

According to him, “The suspect attacked the deceased from behind at the wake and almost cut his head off. It was reported that the deceased had on Thursday seized the suspect’s cell phone for failing to provide the blocks he had paid him for.

The suspect is being held at the state CID and we are still investigating the matter,” Adeyemi said.

Fayose is embarrassing our family name - his elder brother says

Ayo Fayose, the Ekiti state governor, is disgracing the Fayose family name says Segun Fayose, a United Kingdom-based accountant and the eldest brother of the governor.

According to Osun Defender, Segun has appealed to the governor to stop embarrassing the family. He told his younger brother, Ayo Fayose to be careful about remarks that can discredit the Fayose family name, especially with the way he insults elders like Obasanjo and Buhari.

“It is a pity Nigerians are celebrating criminals. I am angry with Nigerians for electing somebody like Ayodele as governor. My children cannot come to Nigeria because of the terrible situation of our country.

“I don’t have a relationship with any of our leaders because of their criminality and anybody who says I collected money from the opposition should step forward to challenge me. Ekiti and Nigeria are bigger than Fayose’s name and both names should be protected. 

“I don’t want anything from anybody, but Ayo should stop insulting and abusing my father’s name. As a result of Fayose’s attitude, many people believe the Fayose family is rude but it is far from the truth.

“I have spoken to him many times, but he refused to listen. Buhari and Obasanjo are old enough to be his father and I don’t know why he should be insulting them.

“I am always sad with the situation of this country. Ayo’s arrogance is one of the reasons I said people should not vote for him prior to the Ekiti governorship election. If all I am saying is not true, my six children should die and I should end up in shame.

“Most of us abroad are not happy with the situation of Nigeria. We are sad. When people call me from Ekiti to complain about Ayo, I tell them to forgive the family. People should not see Ayo as an ambassador of our family.”

Father Mbaka Shuts Down Adoration Ground Over Alleged Death Threat By GEJ and Wife

After alleging that President Goodluck Jonathan and first lady, Patience Jonathan, were after his life, controversial Catholic Priest, Reverend Fr. Ejike Mbaka has reportedly shut down his church, Adoration Ministries in Enugu.

On Friday, March 20, Mbaka suspended his weekly crusade until after the general elections due to alleged threat to life.

On Wednesday, Mbaka had alleged a threat to his life through a statement signed by his Media Officer, Ike Maximus Ugwoke. He said:

“It is with a deep sense of concern that we are constrained to make this statement on the continued threat to the life of Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka over his 2015 New Year message titled ‘From Good Luck to Bad Luck. Last Wednesday, mean looking men in a black Hilux besieged his parish compound but they left disappointed when they could not see him.”

The Adoration Ground in Emene, Enugu, usually attracts thousands of worshippers every Friday for spiritual healing and deliverance from satanic attacks.

However, last Friday, not less than 100,000 worshippers were reportedly left disappointed when they visited the church premises.

By night on Friday, what would have ordinarily been filled with a bevy of worshipers was a deserted holy ground.

It’s pathetic that female footballers are labelled lesbians — Cynthia Uwak

Cynthia Uwak, an ex-Super Falcons’ player who has been named the African Woman Footballer of the Year twice is angry that female footballers are often labelled lesbians.

In an interview with Tribune newspaper, the football star said: “I love my body and I’m proud to show it off. I think it should be some sort of motivation for a lot of people to work out and live healthy. Some like it and some don’t, but in all, I am doing what I want and what makes me happy.”That is all that matters.”

“I get approached by guys. For those that can’t approach sportswomen, maybe they are only intimidated. Guys approach us and those that can’t; I really don’t know what their excuse can be. I find it really surprising when people say many female footballers are lesbians.”

“The question is; “who have they caught in the act? What proof do they have to come up with such conclusion? I believe everyone is always linked to one thing or the other, that’s the only way the world can go round. But saying that female footballers are lesbians is rather pathetic. You can’t just label people based on assumptions.

Sierra Leone Orders Three-Day Lock Down To Battle Ebola

The president of Sierra Leone has an idea on how to curtail the spread of Ebola: Get everybody to stay inside.

President Ernest Bai Koroma on Saturday launched a campaign called "Zero Ebola," in which almost all Sierra Leoneans are supposed to stay indoors March 27-29 and from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on three consecutive Saturdays -- April 4, 11 and 18.

"The campaign will provide an opportunity for communities to be directly involved in the drive to zero cases, to reflect and to pray for the eradication of this disease from our country," he said in a statement.

Sierra Leona tried a three-day lockdown last September in what was primarily an informational campaign, with volunteers going door-to-door to talk with residents about the virus. In August, the Liberian government locked down one of the poorest neighborhoods in the capital of Monrovia in an attempt to stop the spread of the virus. The move resulted in riots.

No commercial activity is supposed to occur during the upcoming lockdown, Koroma said. Because March 29 is Palm Sunday, church services will be allowed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Health workers, journalists and public safety officers are exempted.

Emeka Ike gives Ibinabo Fiberesima 24 hours to vacate the AGN’s presidential seat.

Nollywood actor/producer, Emeka Ike has reacted to the court order which was given for the removal of Ibinabo Fiberesima, as president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN). 

The actor, who has always made it very clear that he was against Ibinabo parading herself as the president of AGN stated that he has given Ibinabo 24 hours to apologise to the guild and vacate her seat or face being dragged to court again for contempt.

See his statement below: 

“She has not appealed. Do you know what an appeal of a judgment means? The judgment was given on Monday and I ask, ‘has she received a copy of the judgment she wants to appeal at the moment.Don’t insult my integrity. 

Before you make any appeal, you have to write papers and take the papers to the right places and you make an appeal with that. If you don’t have the judgment papers in your hand, how do you appeal it? 

And when you appeal, before you get the court’s attention, you must serve it, you must give a notice of it for at least 29 days in a newspaper. There are ways things are done logically on issues like this. 

It is not for you do things anyhow. This is a very sensitive case. You are dealing with an A-list person. Your mindset is your mindset, it should not affect the other. 

I give her (Ibinabo) 24 hours to tender an apology to the guild, 24 hours for talking about appealing this case, if not, I will serve her court papers and her cohorts; I am not joking on this matter.  

I am not using thugs, I am not using OPC, I am not using any cult members, I am not using the police, I am applying the Nigerian justice system and that is the civilized way of doing things.”

FG plans arrest of Tinubu, Buhari, others, APC alleges

APC during  the weekend, alleged that PDP-led Federal Government had perfected plans to jail  its national leader, Senator Bola Tinubu; its presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari; and other major financiers of the party on trumped-up charges before the start of elections next Saturday.

The party alleged that the plan, which was leaked to it was aimed at decapitating the opposition and conferred undue advantage on
the ruling party in the elections.

The PDP, in its statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, also described the allegation by the APC as lacking in decency, advising the party to focus on issues and how to unite its alleged tattered membership.

National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who addressed a press conference on behalf of the party, further alleged that it was the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that the Goodluck Jonathan-led government would unleash on the APC leaders.

Singer Waje Says Her Recent Weight Loss Is Due To Depression

Lately, Nigerian singer Waje has lost some weight, and just incase you are wondering what’s responsible for her recent weight loss, the singer told Punch in a recent interview that it's due to depression. 

‘I reduced my weight because I watched my performance on screen one time and I was shocked. When you are on screen, you add ten pounds and there was a time I was performing and it was shown live. I did not like the comments on twitter and it made me depressed for a while. I had to make a decision if I wanted to enjoy life and call myself a fat person or I could live a better lifestyle. As a female brand, I am a visual brand and when you look good, people tend to take you more seriously. You also feel smarter, so I had to start thinking in that direction’.

The weight loss was intentional and the reason was because I wanted to live a healthier lifestyle. I just want to reduce my food intake, especially junk foods. My stylist is hoping I get slimmer because it is easier to style slim people. For slim people, you can get clothes off the rack but for people like me, we have to make the clothes most of the time,’ she said.

 ‘Because of my new lifestyle and weight loss, I had to give up some foods. I love ice cream and solid foods especially starch and banga soup but I had to give them all up. I try not to take too much of sugar because I love biscuit and chocolate but God has changed my life,’ she said.
