"I'll elevate Eze Ndigbo to the status of Oba of Lagos"- Jimi agbaje (What's Omo Oodua's reaction to this?)

“I will elevate Eze Ndigbo to the status of Oba of Lagos”- Jimi agbaje. “Igbo developed and control Lagos” – Jimi Agbaje. I personally feel embarrassed by these comments, I believe Jimi Agbaje has sold the Yoruba people out cheaply because of dire search for power.
jimi-agbaje

I guess this is reason why the Oba was furious with the Ibos.


What’s Omo Oodua’s reaction to this?

Hilary


Admin:


“I personally feel this is playing the tribal card again, “scoring cheap political point” but  not in the direct interest of the people. This is the kind of idea that divides the people more and in Lagos where people are more united compare to any other state. People come here to do Business, earn a living and when you  say such thing in a complex society where people react to any form of cultural division, it will only lead to doom or failure of the society.”


He should have said something like, “Lagos is for all and I will make life far better for everyone than my opponent”. This makes perfect sense and not scoring cheap political point against your opponent playing the Tribalistic card.


What is your reaction to the statement ?

"Nyesom Wike loves and worships money; he can betray his mother for money" - Gov Amaechi

Gov. Rotimi Amaechi says the PDP Governorship applicant in Rivers state, Nyesom Wike is a hooligan that can sell anybody, even his own particular mother, for cash.


Amaechi said this while battling for the state’s APC hopeful Dakuku Peterside in Port Harcourt today April ninth.


“Nyesom Wike loves and worships money; he can betray his mother for money – nothing more, nothing less. PDP is afraid to come out for an election; they are used to writing results and the era of writing results is coming to an end. How can you see a man like a tout like Nyesom Wike and you will allow him to address you?
Be assured that no matter how many criminals Nyesom Wike brings out, no matter how many militants he brings out, if we hold our vote and vote rightly, we will defeat him. Wike is in a fight for immunity and by God’s grace he will not get immunity because he has to answer for all the death in Omofro. Who killed the people they killed in Omofro? Who killed the two persons in my local government area on Saturday March 28?” he said

Petroleum Minister, Alison Madueke, Out Of The Country On ‘Health Grounds’

Fresh reports reaching us say Petroleum Minister, Alison Madueke, has left the country for the United Kingdom on health reasons. Other sources say she fled owing to General Muhammadu Buhari’s win at the recent presidential election, seeing as the Oil sector under watch has been riddled with series of financial misappropriations.
Diezani-Alison-Madueke

In September, 2012; New York based Sahara Reporters revealed how the Minister left for the UK for medical treatment, but she swiftly issued a rebehindal declaring herself safe and sound. In spite of several sources corroborating claims of her health condition, saying how pertinent documents requiring her attention or signature were being taken over to the UK for her to handle, she denied all the claims of a failing health.


Our sources have gathered today that Alison Madueke is out of the country again.


There is however a twist to this particular trip abroad given that the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, is soon to resume office, and knowing his stance on corruption would be combing the records in the petroleum sector. Following this, the Minister knowing full well the monumental rot in the Oil sector thought it best to ‘breather’. Unconfirmed reports have it that Mrs. Madueke left the country via BA (British Airways) on Monday morning, April 6th; in a bid to steer clear from the political space. Meanwhile, an inside source close to her has confirmed that she really did leave the country for a short while but not for fear of any probe, but to receive treatments for an unknown health condition.


We are yet to hear from her officially.

"He Says Worse To Me Every time We See" - Pat Utomi backs Oba Of Lagos

Respected former presidential candidate and social commentator, Pat Utomi has come out to defend Lagos monarch, Oba Rilwan Akiolu whose comments against the Igbos sparked outrage and diverse reactions from Nigerians in the last few days.

The king had threatened that anyone, especially Igbos who fail to vote Akin Ambode of APC in Lagos will die in the lagoon within seven days. In defence of the King, Pat Utomi said the king was jesting as he’s used to making such remarks when he’s joking. See his tweets below……






Censored Toronto Pianist Lisitsa: 'They Offered Me Money to be Quiet'

Ukrainian-born Valentina Lisitsa was primed to perform Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra this week. But on Monday, she received the news that her performances had been cancelled, a sudden decision which Lisitsa told Sputnik amounts to political censorship.


 toronto_pianist


“Due to ongoing accusations of deeply offensive language by Ukrainian media outlets, we have decided to replace Valentina Lisitsa,” the orchestra’s president Jeff Melanson explained in a statement. He went on to call the pianist’s Twitter account “provocative” and “deeply offensive.”


But Lisitsa has a different explanation.



“You know, I strongly believe that it was not because of Tweets, but because of my general position – anti-war, anti-national position – and myself being ethnic Ukrainian,” Lisitsa told Sputnik. “I was getting in the way of certain peoples’ interest – political interests.”


She says that the orchestra was pressured by Ukrainian representatives.


“I didn’t come here to preach or to say this is political,” she said. “I just came to play Rachmaninoff’s Concerto.”


Instead of quietly accepting the orchestra’s decision, Lisitsa is taking a stand.


“They offered me money to be quiet about it…They told me ‘You go away quietly and we keep silence’,” she said. “And I decided, you know, if I do it, if I exchange my freedom for money, what [about] musicians who don’t have a big social presence? And I decided to go public for that reason, just to make a stand.”


While her performances have been cancelled, the orchestra is still paying her fee, and Lisitsa has decided to donate much of that money to those who are starving in the midst of Ukraine’s civil war.


“Music…is one art which is never violent,” Lisitsa said, stressing her love for the piano.


She also made note of Western hypocrisies.


“If I were to say something about President Putin, I’d probably be applauded, right?”

#PastorsRulesMoreSevereThanGodsOwn: Pastor Chris Oyakhilome Bans Sinach From Singing In His Church

Founding pastor of Believers’ Love World (Christ Embassy), Chris Oyakhilome, was said to have banned popular gospel singer, Osinachi ‘Sinach’ Kalu from rendering songs in church.


Sinach


It was gathered from sources that Sinach was banned by Pastor Chris after she performed at popular annual Christian show ‘The Experience’ which held in December 2014 hosted by Paul Adefarasin’s House on the Rock church.


Reports say before Sinach got the hammer, Oyakhilome had warned his workers against serving two masters at the same time meaning that none of them is allowed to take any job that doesn’t involve Christ Embassy or Believers’ Love World.


Another source also claimed that aside from the popular singer’s performance at The Experience, she got the ban because Pastor Oyakhilome who is currently in the middle of a divorce drama, wasn’t in support of the man she married.


“The Pastor placed an order that none of his staff is permitted to take outside jobs, despite the fact that the church’s salary doesn’t come regularly. The problem between Sinach and the Pastor started when she got married to Pastor Joe. He wasn’t in support of their union. Although Sinach still attends services, she doesn’t sing in the church, special programme or communion service. In fact she might even leave the church soon, “, the source said.

Oba Of Lagos may be Working For Jimi Agbaje - Don Jazzy Says

Ace producer, Michael Collins Ajereh, popularly known as Don Jazzy, has raised a poser that Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, might be working for the emergence of the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Jimi Agbaje and was counting on the reactions of the Igbo population in the state to actualize his plan.

It will be recalled that Oba Akiolu has been berated by many for threatening Igbos in Lagos state with death if they fail to vote for his anointed candidate, Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressives Congress, APC.


Don Jazzy took to his Twitter page, which boast of over one million followers to raise the poser.

“#WhatIf Oba actually codedly wants PDP to win? And is counting on us reacting to his statement. #Justasking o. Cos he said he is related to JK. hmmm blood is thicker than party o. lol oya make i run,” he said.


He also vowed not to join his kinsmen in insulting Oba Akiolu. Don Jazzy was reacting to one of his followers on Twitter, who challenged him for not rebuking the king.

Why My Wife Divorced Me – at last  Oyakhilome Speaks On Divorce saga

Founder of Believers Love World Ministry aka Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has finally spoken on the divorce suit filed against him by his wife after days of silence on the issue.
pastor_chris_oyakhilome_and_ex_wife


According to the Daily Post, Oyakhilome described the allegations levelled against him as “crazy” and “stupid” and urged his church members to pray for his estranged wife while speaking on Sunday evening during the monthly global communion service of the church.


Oyakhilome, who appeared visibly disturbed during his first few minutes on stage, acknowledged that divorce is un-Biblical but suggested he could consider the option should his wife insist on it.


“I heard that some media houses– especially in Nigeria, are writing some things against me. All sorts of frivolous charges, that’s crazy.


“You have to understand something about a man of God. A man of God is not just someone who worships God or preaches God. A man of God is handpicked by God, set on course by God. If you study the scriptures, you will not find one man of God go against God, sinning against God.


“The only thing you might find will be a man of God, maybe in two different kinds of ways. Moses, for example, when he struck the rock twice, he was provoked by the anger of the people. It was not because he wanted to do something against the Lord. No man of God does something against the Lord.


“Are you hearing me? A man of God is set on a course; there is a type of life that he is given. Then you have a young man, a young prophet; he wasn’t named; he was deceived by another man of God and so he went in a direction that God said ‘don’t go’.


“That is the only kind of thing you find about a man of God when he misses the message of God or he acts beyond what God said. But a man of God settles himself in the fight against the world… like those writing those stupid things about me, that I did this and I did that.


“You don’t know who a man of God is. I don’t go in that direction. I wasn’t accused of the things you said, nor did I commit those stupid things that you said and I don’t need to go into that level in such discussions”.


He recalled that Jesus passed through similar travails and eventually overcame.


He said that although so many people were making mockery of him, he would remain steadfast and not lose focus.


“Jesus Christ was accused by many– a lot of frivolous charges. There will always be those who would like for it to be true. But you know, in spite of the accusations against Jesus, It didn’t change who he was. It didn’t change him.


“There are preachers and there are men of God. I am not a preacher; I am a man of God and I go in the way I’m asked to go. It may cause some troubles with individuals but that’s not because I have done something wrong and when it comes to Reverend Anita, what I will say to you is ‘pray for her’.


“Don’t act like those people. If you are married to a man of God, it doesn’t make you automatically mature. You can make mistakes; you can do something that is wrong. But some people expect the wife of a minister to definitely be at the level of that minister and so they may be looked upon and the expectation may be like that, but it’s a positional thing.


“If a man of God is married, it doesn’t automatically mean that the wife of a man of God is therefore a woman of God. That’s not the way it is in the Bible. That’s why you don’t really find the wives of men of God mentioned in the Bible. How many of them? Who was Peter’s wife, did you ever know her name? You never find that out. Who was John’s wife? Did you ever read the name? What about all the other Apostles? How many of their names are written in the Bible? You never find their names”, he added.


At this point, one of the female pastors sought to know why the names of wives of the men of God were not found in the Bible.


Oyakhilome’s response was that she should ask God whenever she finds him.


‘“Why? You ask God when you find him. Ask God when you find him”, he exclaimed.


“So, they are little things; don’t try to make something big out of them. So when journeying, doing the things that God called us to do, Christians should not have a divorce; it shouldn’t be, but you see, that doesn’t mean a Christian may not take the step.


“They may do it but they have to make things right and we shouldn’t take one another to court. But when it happens, not that we don’t just want to go, it means someone is taking us there.


“That’s a problem, but be wise and stay focused in the word of God and don’t let those who want to feast on things like this, including Christians…


“There are Christians who like things like this; they want to make something big out of this: ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, we said it’. You said what? Judge nothing before the time. Be wise. Glory to God.


“So we are not working in sin and living in sin and hoping that we can mix sin and righteousness together. We are the manifestation of his righteousness. We walk in that light only, and that’s the way it’s gonna be”.


In April 2014, Anita Oyakhilome filed for divorce at Central Family Court, High Holborn, London, UK, citing her husband’s “unreasonable behaviour” and inappropriate relationships with members of staff, a euphemism for “adultery”.


The couple have meanwhile decided to share custody of their children. Sharon, the eldest, prefers Pastor Chris, while Charlene is presently with Anita.

Mama peace finally Re-appears… You Won’t Believe Where She Was Sighted

While speculations were rife over the whereabouts of Patience Jonathan since the March 28 presidential election, the First Lady has recently returned to Nigeria’s capital, Abuja.
mama_peace


Patience Jonathan’s last public outing was on March 28 in Otuoke, Bayelsa, where she cast her vote in accompany of her husband.


Thisday reports that Mrs Jonathan arrived at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja via Emirates Airlines on April 7, 2015.


An anonymous source could not name the country she was coming from but confirmed that the plane landed at about 5.30p.m. local time.


The First Lady’s arrival will put an end to numerous speculations of her whereabouts. However, the reason for the trip is still not clear.


According to airport sources, on arrival, the outgoing first lady was briskly escorted to the presidential wing by security officials where three Mercedez Benz cars and a bus were positioned for her.


The source, who confirmed Mrs Jonathan’s arrival, added that unlike the usual large crowd, which usually accompany her on both local and oversea trips, this time, it was just a handful of close associates.


Patience Jonathan’s last public outing was on March 28 in Otuoke, Bayelsa, where she cast her vote in accompany of her husband.


The First Lady was even absent at last Sunday Easter celebration at the Presidential Villa which caused even more rumours and speculations.


Some reports had alleged that Mrs Jonathan might have left the country for the United Kingdom to sort out some domestic issues.

Civil war would have ended ealier if Ojukwu had acted like Jonathan - Danjuma

Today, President Jonathan paid a private visit to previous Minister of Defense, General Theophilus Danjuma at his home to talk about  approaches to have a smooth transition  on May 29th.


Addressing the press after the meeting, Danjuma said president Jonathan has set a record in the historical backdrop of the nation by  conceding defeat.
danjuma

He said if previous Biafran warlord, Chukwuemeka Ojukwu had acted like Jonathan by yielding defeat, the civil war would have been maintained a strategic distance from.

“The outcome of the election and the manner in which President Jonathan conceded victory to Buhari, is total un-African, it is very important in the history of Africa. Ojukwu did the same after the fall of Enugu, if he had conceded victory to the federal troops he would have saved the nation one full year of bloodshed. President Jonathan has set a record, made history, something to be emulated by the rest of Africa and indeed the whole world.” He said (Source – Vanguard)


 

Chibok girls have not been killed - FG says

In a bid to dowse speculations in some quarters that the missing Chibok girls have been killed following the recent recapture of most of the strong territories Boko Haram occupied with no sign of the girls, the Federal Government has come out to state that the girls are still alive and that hopes for their rescue must be kept alive.
chibok1

At a press conference in Abuja today April 8th, the Coordinator of National Information Centre (NIC), Mr Mike Omeri, said that hopes for the rescue of the Chibok girls is still high and that until the military concludes the recapture of all lost territories from Boko Haram, speculations of their death would not be entertained


“The search for Chibok girls continues and that is why even with capture of Bama and the rest, security and military have never relent, and until it is concluded, we cannot begin to believe speculation. I think the one year anniversary is next week, and we hope to give a comprehensive report on what we know so far, and how far the searching has gone. So, the assurance I will give you, is that everywhere is being combed and whatever element we found will be revealed to appropriate authority and nobody is going to keep anything secret.”he said

Warri billionaire  person Ayiri Emami, who was spotted with the national pioneer of APC, Bola Tinubu as of late, has dumped PDP for APC.


The previous staunch PDP member, who campaigned vigorously  for the party before president Jonathan lost his re-decision, is reported to have shown his supporters his APC card at his home in Ubeji, Warri today. He advised his supporters to go along with him in the triumphant party as the PDP umbrella was spilling and could no more give sanctuary to them. He then approached them to vote in favor of the APC governorship competitor in Delta, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor.

PRESS RELEASE: Buhari’s 100 days covenants a renewed confidence and hope for Nigeria’s greatness
buhari


 The commonwealth Youth Council has described the president elect, Muhammudu Buhari’s 100 days covenants has a renewed confidence and hope for Nigeria’s greatness and have restored confidence that other nations especially within the Commonwealth have in Nigeria.


 The council, in a statement made available to newsmen on Wednesday from London, Ahmed Adamu the Chairperson of the council maintained the anti-corruption strategies and open government system will institutionalize constitutional democracy in the country. “These are some of the strong values of the Commonwealth” Adamu said.


 He however pointed that Mr Buhari should integrate youth participation in his government “having promised women 35% affirmative participation in governance. We looked anxiously to see what percentage would be earmarked for the youths, but we were excluded” he maintained.


 “Considering the youth population in the country (more than 60% of the Nigerian population), and the role we played in ensuring the peaceful and political triumph in this election, we believe that youth should be actively engaged in governance.


 “There is nothing for youths without youths. We call on the president-elect to review his covenant to accommodate youth participation in governance. A special covenant can be created to promise at least 30% affirmative action for youth participation in governance at all levels. This will help a long way in ensuring inclusive governance in the new administration” the council chair said.

Greece 'Openly Disapproves' of Anti-Russian Sanctions

During a joint press conference with President Vladimir Putin, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said that the EU economic war against Russia could lead to a new Cold War, and that Athens will try to become a ‘negotiations bridge’ between Europe and Russia to resolve the issue


 greece



Greece disagrees with the anti-Russia sanctions imposed by the West and considers them a form of economic warfare, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Wednesday.”The Greek economy was greatly harmed due to the response to the sanctions… We understand very well that the retaliatory measures came as a response to the sanctions, the logic of which we do not agree with. We have repeatedly voiced our disagreement,” Tsipras said at a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.


According to Tsipras, Greece has raised the issue of anti-Russia sanctions at various EU summits.


“We don’t think that this is a fruitful solution to the economic war. In fact, it will lead to a Cold War relationship between the West and Russia,” Tsipras added.


In turn, Putin stressed that despite the fact that the Greek economy was hard-hit by the counter-sanctions imposed by Russia, Moscow would not make an exception for one EU country, as its goal is to build relationships of mutual trust and transparency with the whole of Europe.



Following the meeting, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he discussed with Greek PM Alexis Tsipras bilateral cooperation.


“We agree to pay more attention to investments, we discussed cooperation in energy sector,” Russian president said. “We discussed possibility to supply Russian gas to Greece via Turkish Stream.”


According to president Putin, they also discussed cooperation in tourism.


They also talked about Russian-EU relations.


“We assured our Greek colleagues in Russian intention to implement Minsk agreements to settle conflict in Eastern Ukraine,” President Putin added.



Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said that he is grateful to President Putin for new spring in Russian-Greek relations.”We have spring in Russian-Greek relations,” Alexis Tsipras said. “Greece is a sovereign state and will use its geopolitical role as European country. We will use all opportunities to boost cooperation with Russia.”


According to Greek PM, the countries will promote education and culture ties.


He also expressed hope, that Greece may become an energy hub in the European region.


Speaking about sanctions on Russia, PM Tsipras said that European issue is not Greek one. So regarding the complicated economic situation in the world in the recent years Greece has signed several documents on cooperation with Russia.



“That’s why we come here in the first place, to constract the economic ties with Russia,” Alexis Tsipras said. “We do not entirily share the EU stance on economic sanctions against Russia. We will promote new solution based on the dialog.”


Mr.Tsipras also added that Greece “openly dissaproves” of European anti-Russian sanctions, because the EU economic war against Russia could lead to a new Cold War.


Of course sanctions has hit Russian-Greek agriculture cooperation, President Putin said. “But today we’re tried to establish our cooperation regardless the sanctions,” he added.




PDP Queries President-elect Buhari’s Indifference To Burning National Issues

Check out Press statement from the PDP.
buhari

Read below..

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has expressed deep concerns over the apparent indifference of the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari to burning national issues threatening the unity and stability of the country.


PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Wednesday said “while well-meaning Nigerians and the international community are celebrating the peace fostered by the patriotic action of President Goodluck Jonathan in conceding defeat, General Buhari and his party, the APC have been moving around the country instigating division, engineering crisis and heightening tension in the polity”.


“Whereas General Buhari had assured Nigerians that he would be the President of the entire nation and not of a political party, his actions in the last one week show otherwise as he has continued to display sectionalism and insensitivity to matters inimical to the survival of our democracy and wellbeing of Nigerians.


“Instead of settling down to plan a smooth transition and design ways of deepening democracy in appreciation of the mandate given to him, General Buhari has tacitly encouraged his men to foment crisis and cause panic in the bid to muzzle personal freedom and impose a reign of terror in the land.


“For instance, Gen. Buhari has remained indifferent to the crisis in Ekiti where outgoing APC lawmakers who are supposed to be campaigning for the renewal of their mandates on Saturday have been mobilized to Oshogbo in Osun state by the APC to perfect an ignoble plot to remove a democratically elected government in the state.


“APC’s ambition in Ekiti coupled with its odious triumphalism in the aftermath of the Presidential election have led to avoidable confrontations and near breakdown of law and order in the state as the people rise to defend the mandate freely given to the PDP.


“In continuation of this display of arrogance in victory, Buhari’s men in Lagos have dragged the revered traditional institution into the political fray with the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwanu Akiolu threatening death to supporters of the PDP, an action that has brought outrage from Nigerians with General Buhari playing the ostrich.


“It is indeed unfortunate that while his men are causing crisis and threating Nigerians, General Buhari, instead of calling them to order displays his insensitivity by jetting around the country campaigning for his party.


“If this sort of insensitivity and arrogance of victory are foretaste of what to expect in a Buhari presidency, then our dear nation and its people are headed for a long trek in the wilderness”, the statement said.


Meanwhile, the PDP in reaction to reports of defection from its fold described the defectors as political Trojans, who from within have ceaselessly worked against the interest of the party and now fear that they would face sanctions for their actions.


Stating that it would not miss such fair weather members, the party commended the courage and steadfastness of all its supporters and members who have remained committed to the course and urged them to go a step further by emulating Senate President David Mark and Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu in speaking out publicity in favour of the PDP, its ideals and visions of the founding fathers.


The PDP said adequate machinery is already in motion to reorganize and to reposition itself to regain power in the next four years since it is obvious that the APC lacks what it takes to effectively lead the nation.


It therefore called on Nigerians to use the Saturday’s election to demonstrate their commitment to democracy by voting enmasse for the PDP bearing in mind that a vote the party is a vote for the unity and stability of the country.

What is wrong with this Photo ? (Robert Mugabe Version)

Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe, 91,  appeared as though he wore weave and ear rings as he touched base in South Africa yesterday morning for a state visit.



His first visit in 20 years. In any case on close examination of the clever photograph, you’ll see that the hair and studs fit in with a lady standing just behind him.
