Student Rescued From The Hands Of ‘One-chance’ Syndicate
A student identified as Oke was at the weekend rescued from the hands of a dreaded one-chance syndicate at Farmers’ market junction, Maitama, Abuja.
Oke, according to a police source, boarded a Wuse bound vehicle from Mpape junction and was able to challenge the suspects on sighting a traffic warden.
The source further revealed that the student met passengers already seated in the painted Nissan Sunny vehicle.
According to our informant, the back seat was said to be uncomfortable for him and he was advised to join the other passenger in the front seat, but his bag made it difficult for the driver to drive and the driver offered to place it in the trunk.
The source stated that immediately the student gave his bag to the driver, he discovered that the bag was being opened and he tried to turn back and look at what was happening but his vision was blocked so that he could not see what was happening behind.
This action made the student to be suspicious and he resisted when the driver told him to drop at Maitama junction that he would not want to go any further because of VIO.
When a traffic warden stopped the car at farmers’ market junction, the student struggled with the driver, who later parked the vehicle. The attention of the policemen was drawn to the scene and immediately the driver and his gang were arrested.
FCT Police Spokesperson, Deputy Superintendent Hyelhira Altine Daniel confirmed the story.
“When he grabbed the steering and started shouting around farmers’ market junction Maitama, our officers instantly arrested the five ‘One Chance’ robbers, who had already robbed the student," she said.
She said investigation into the matter is still on going to identify their various networks.
President running a ‘one-man show’ in PDP – Amaechi
Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of turning the Peoples Democratic Party into a “one-man show” and of condoning “impunity and authoritarianism” in an effort to ensure re-election in 2015.
Amaechi, in an interview he granted theFinancial Times of London, added that the President and his wife, Patience, were bent on removing him from office.
He traced his travails to a perceived fear in the Presidency that whoever was in charge of the Nigeria Governor’s Forum had the capacity to influence the presidential election in 2015.
The embattled governor said, “There is this fear in the Presidential Villa that whoever chairs the governors’ forum will influence the presidential election,” Amaechi told FT in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
In a report posted by FT on Sunday, he alleged that “what has happened has been engineered to the point where the President and his wife are trying to remove me from office.”
“We are seeing an absence of law and order that can breed anarchy. It seems those at Federal Government level are not interested in democracy, but impunity and authoritarianism. The President needs to check this,” the governor added.
Amaechi also told the FT that he had not decided on his plans for 2015. He said that efforts by some in the PDP leadership to claim that he had lost the governors’ forum vote, despite him obtaining 19 votes to his challenger’s (Jonah Jang of Plateau State) 16, was a concerning sign ahead of 2015.
“If they can accept 16 over 19, people should be worried,” he said.
But spokesman for the President, Reuben Abati, denied that Jonathan and his wife were in any way involved in Amaechi’s travails.
“This is all local Rivers politics,” Abati said. “It’s convenient to drag the President into this, but it is not true. All these allegations are baseless.”
Meanwhile, the Rivers State Police Command and the state government on Sunday traded words on the whereabouts of the the Majority Leader of the House of Assembly, Mr. Chidi Lloyd.
Lloyd was last week declared wanted by the police command a few hours before Force headquarters in Abuja invited him for allegedly attacking another lawmaker with a mace during the free-for-all in the Assembly. The fracas was caused by an attempt by five lawmakers loyal to the Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike to unseat the speaker.
While the state government claimed that the Police knew where to find the embattled lawmaker, the spokesperson for the command, said they would not have declared him wanted if they knew where to locate him.
Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Mr. Tony Okocha, who accused the police of bias in handling the crisis, said they (police) were free to search the Government House for Lloyd.
He said, “Lloyd is not in Government House. He has been receiving treatment since the incident in the House of Assembly. I am sure that the police know where he is. You can see how one-sided they (police) are.
“Even when Evans Bipi was the first to hit Chidi Lloyd, the only person declared wanted is Lloyd. We saw a video clip where Bipi was boasting that he hit Chidi Lloyd. We also heard how he dealt Ngo, a lawmaker in the House a blow.
“We are shocked that nobody is inviting them (Bipi and four other anti-Rotimi Amaechi lawmakers) for interrogation. In the matter, there must be what we call cause and effect relationship. Bipi was the first to hit Lloyd before he (Lloyd) retaliated.”
Okocha however said the government was ready to embrace anything that would ensure that peace reigned in the state.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Angela Agabe, however, said it was wrong for any person to insinuate that the police knew the whereabouts of the Majority Leader.
Agabe, who spoke with The PUNCH said that the police were not biased in handling of the matter.
“If the police knew where Chidi Lloyd is, they (police) would not have declared him wanted. The search for the lawmaker over the assault on a fellow member is still on,” she explained.
The PDP in the state had earlier accused Governor Amaechi of hiding Lloyd in the Government House.
A statement by the Special Adviser to the state party Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, called on the government to hand over Lloyd to the police for investigation.
“The Rivers State Governor knows where Lloyd, declared wanted by the police is hiding. We call on the state government to hand him over to the police for investigation,” Needam said.
Also on Sunday, the Action Congress of Nigeria accused the PDP of being unrelenting in its determination to overheat the polity and set the country on fire .
In a statement in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the ACN said it was left with no choice than to reach that conclusion after a faction of Rivers PDP reportedly loyal to President Jonathan expelled Amaechi, at a time all people of goodwill were calling for a resolution of the state’s lingering crisis.
It warned that since PDP ‘s sole interest was power and not the responsibility that goes with it, it must be checked through all constitutional means before it plunges the country into chaos.
The ACN said one of the reasons Amaechi had been targeted by his “all-powerful enemies”, who have used national institutions – including the police – against him, was his strenuous defence of the NGF.
Akwa Ibom ‘child-witches’ still endangered
Mercy Frank,12 years old, bathed with raw acid by her mother after a church prophetess declared her a witch. "Every Akwa Ibom child will be completely protected by this law we are signing today, and this is a commitment we would protect with all the might of the legal instruments at our disposal. We have come to make a law to protect everything we cherish and value….”
Those were the words from Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio shortly after signing the Child Rights Bill into Law on December 5, 2008.
The law became necessary after many parents and guardians in the state subjected their children/wards to inhuman treatments after branding them “witches” and “wizards”.
The events leading to the passage of the law are still fresh in the memories of many as the state was subjected to global odium by a report on the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) on alleged child-witches and inhuman treatments meted to them by their parents and communities.
A self-styled cleric, Bishop Sunday William, declared in the report that 2.3 million witches and wizards existed in the state – most of them, according to him, are children.
Williams also claimed that he helped parents kill about 110 “child-witches” for as much as N400,000 per ‘witch’.
The BBC documentary on the activities of his church went viral on the internet. It angered Akpabio that a ‘Bishop’ would declare that 2.3 million witches existed in a state of less than 4 million people; leaving just 1.7 million of the population witch-free.
The governor immediately ordered the Bishop’s arrest. The Bishop was later paraded at the State Police Headquarters, where he told reporters he did not kill the children as alleged, but merely destroyed spirits of witchcraft in them.
“I started destroying the spirits of witchcraft from people since 2007. I only destroyed the spirits out of the people up to 110 but not killing the main people.
“You can see behind me some of the children whom I have destroyed the spirit of witches out of them.”
Akpabio dismissed the 2.3 million witches claim. The governor, who spoke at a ceremony organised by Inoyo Toro Foundation in honour of Science, Mathematics and English language teachers in Uyo, said some of the children had confessed to being witches and wizards when they were tortured by their parents and church leaders.
Akpabio said: “If you put a nail on my head and ask me to agree that I am a wizard, I would do that to save myself from torture. That is how these children are tortured to accept that they are witches and their parents would gladly throw them out of the house.
“We will not only destroy such churches, but also get their pastors prosecuted and jailed to set example for others because some churches are deceiving people.”
While the number of such persons prosecuted since the enactment of the law remains unknown, cases of maltreatment and abuse continue to increase daily in the state.
Commissioner of Police Umar Gwadabe said the command was grappling with the rising tide of violence against persons accused of witchcraft.
His words: “On several occasions, our men were called upon to rescue vulnerable persons, such as women, children and the elderly who are falsely accused of being witches, and who are being subjected to untold acts of torture and brutality by some criminal elements.
“A case in point is the rescue of two male children aged nine (9) and six (6) years Mmenyene and Samuel who were branded as wizards in a village called Ikot Obio Asanga. They were rescued in a toilet having been locked up for 14 days without food and water.
“This followed a so-called prophesy that the children were wizards and responsible for the misfortune that had befallen the family. Those involved, the father and a prophetess had been picked up and charged to court.”
One of such unlucky victim was 12-year-old Mercy Frank, whose mother bathed her with acid because a prophet claimed she was possessed by witchcraft.
When our reporter met Mercy at the Children Ward of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH), she was sitting alone and begging for food.
Mercy, before the acid bath, attended Atabong Primary School in Oron. The acid bath affected her breasts, mouth and other parts of her body.
Narrating her sad story, she said: “I am from Atabong village in Oron Local Government Area. I am the second child in the family of four children. My mother poured acid solution on my body that is why my mouth and my body are like these.
“One of our neighbours told my mother that I was a witch but I told her that I was not a witch. She took me to Apostolic Church in Atabong, Oron and the pastor told her that I was a witch. When the pastor asked me if I was a witch, I told him I was not a witch.
“The pastor prayed and told my mother that I was a witch then we went back home after the prayer. When we got home that night, my mother canned me seriously. Other neighbours begged her to let me be but she refused.
“Later at midnight, my mother took me to a deep forest and poured acid solution on me and dropped me by the roadside and left.”
She said security agents brought her to the hospital after seeing her in pains and crying by the roadside.
Mercy was lucky to survive the attack.
Effiong Lawson was not. He was recently beheaded, allegedly by his stepfather, Felix Lawson, 43, who accused him of being a wizard. Sources said Lawson accused the child of being responsible for the fate of his wretched and poverty-stricken family.
Eyewitness said the incident occurred while the suspect was enjoying his meal after returning from work on the fateful day.
His hungry step-son reportedly sneaked into the backyard and whispered to his younger sister to bring him leftover food to stop his hunger.
But the enraged stepfather, who heard and recognised his voice, went for his machete and attacked the child.
Two friends of the late Effiong’s who accompanied him to the house, sensing the danger from the stepfather, took to their heels but the late Effiong was not as lucky. He was overpowered and beheaded by the irate father.
Our investigations revealed that these and other incidents occurred despite the Child Rights Law.
Observers say the state government needs to exercise its judicial power and make the law function effectively by ensuring that perpetrators, like Effiong, are punished by the court to serve as deterrent to others.

Student stabbed to death
Tragedy struck at 13 Amphibious Brigade, Eburutu Barracks, Ikot Ansa in Calabar Municipality of Cross River State recently when the Labour Prefect of Army Day Secondary School, Boniface Odinakachukwu, 19, was stabbed to death for confiscating fellow student’s sandals.
Investigations revealed that Boniface, an SSS II student and an indigene of Onicha-Igboeze Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, met his untimely death penultimate week when his fellow SS II student, one Francis (surname withheld), allegedly hired a colleague, Godwin (surname also withheld), 20, to assist him in beating up the Prefect for daring to accost him (Francis) for improper dressing in school.
The late Boniface, it was learnt, was a stickler for discipline and therefore, ensured that students complied with the mode of dressing within the school premises.
And in carrying out his official functions, the Prefect had accosted Godwin, queried him on why he should fly his shirt’s collar and adorning a pair of sandals during school hours and as a punishment, the late Boniface allegedly confiscated the sandals and handed over to one of the school masters, hoping to return them to him the following day as has always been the practice.
Francis, sources said, did not raise any eyebrow as he walked quietly to his class without showing any sign that he was annoyed or out to do anything funny over the seizure of his sandals.
But trouble started, when after school had closed at 3:00 pm, Francis and a few of the students alleged to be cultists including Godwin, a school drop-out, were unknowingly trailing him and subsequently attacked and killed him in the process.
An eyewitness said: “As we were going home after school hours, we noticed some funny movements by senior students as they clustered and were pointing at our Labour Prefect, accusing him of always embarrassing the students who don’t dress properly.
“The group of students numbering about five accosted Boniface finally and asked him why did he embarrass the big boy, Francis and before he could utter a word, a fight ensued. At that time, Godwin just stepped forward, removed a dagger from his pocket and stabbed the Labour Prefect on the chest and he slumped and died instantly.”
On discovering that Boniface was dead, the boys fled, but were later arrested by the soldiers and handed over to the police.
Godwin, who hailed from Akwa Ibom State, is cooling off at the Diamond Hill state police command headquarters, Calabar where is being investigated by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
Police sources informed that Godwin had confessed that he was hired by his friend, Francis, to assist, asked him to recover a pair of sandals which Boniface had seized from him for allegedly dressing improperly.
The accused disclosed that Francis spotted the Labour Prefect for him from a distance and pointed at him and they went after him in a group.
Besides, Godwin who is a drop-out from Government Technical School Ikot Nsa, Calabar, had admitted that he got hold of the Labour Prefect from the back, and later stabbed him on the chest, saying he didn’t intend to kill him.
Francis was also said to have admitted that both of them laid ambush for the late Boniface at the school gate, waiting for the closing hour so that they could the deal with him. He said that it was not their intention to kill him, but to just harass him and collect the sandals.
Francis and Godwin, who are said to be close friends and live in the same block at Eburutu Barracks, would soon be charged to court as they have already admitted to killing the prefect.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Hogan Bassey, confirmed the incident to reporters in Calabar.
Reacting to Boniface’s death, his elder brother, Ikemefuna, said: “I don’t know why a fellow student should organize people to kill my younger brother just like that. It is very painful and a big loss to our family and we would not allow our brother’s killers to go free.
“What will I tell my parents that I took my brother from home alive and bubbling and now taking him home in a coffin? Why should it be so?”
Ikemefuna, who trades on GSM accessories, said: “Justice must be done by ensuring that those students are also killed so that others will learn from there. We will not accept any move to scuttle the prosecution of this matter because I have informed my community here in Calabar and Ebonyi. We will soon write to our state government to come to our aid so that this type of thing will not happen to our people again.”
He said, however, that once the police are through with the autopsy, they would write officially so that the body can be released for burial in his hometown.
Also speaking, the Ebonyi Development Association, Calabar branch’s spokesman, Chief Ogbonnaya Oka, said the community would soon decide on how to go about the killing of one of their sons.
Oka, who appealed to all Ebonyians to remain calm amid any provocation, said, “we will soon make our representations to Governor Liyel Imoke to ensure that we are given protection because Ebonyi people contribute positively to the economic development of the state,” adding that they would assist the police in the prosecution of the accused.

JONATHAN COMMISSIONS 200-UNIT POLICE HOUSING ESTATE IN LAGOS
President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday commissioned a multi-million naira police housing estate in Idimu, Alimisho Local Government Area of Lagos State. The estate, named “Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Police Housing Estate,” comprises 200 units of 3-bedroom flats. The estate was built under a Public-Private Partnership, PPP, scheme being financed by Aso Housing and Loans and developed by Remax developers.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, the president said this was the first time in Nigeria’s history that the Nigerian Police would achieve such a laudable venture. He also emphasised that the federal government is committed to improving the standard of living of all police officers in the country, irrespective of their rank or status.
He said the PPP initiative was the only way the government could achieve many of its goals in providing the much needed infrastructural amenities.
The President commended the leadership of the Nigerian Police for “taking the initiative to develop an estate for its members. Not only is this commendable, it is remarkable because it goes a long way in complementing the efforts of the Federal Government in providing low cost housing for the citizenry.”
“This government places huge emphasis on housing, because the housing sector has the potential of increasing the productivity of every person. A viable housing sector creates jobs and enhances employment opportunities,” the president said.
He also noted that one of the ways in which government was aiming at improving the standard of living of police officers in the country was embarking on massive transformation of all barracks in the country.
“This will cost the government a lot of money to achieve, but at the end it will be worth it,” he said.
Mr. Jonathan thanked the police boss and his management team for naming the estate after him, but however noted that it would have been better for him to be receiving such honours after leaving office.
Earlier in his remarks, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, disclosed that the housing units, which would be made available for different cadres of police officers was completed over a period of eight months.
Though he did not disclose the cost of building the estate, he declared that each flat would be given out to interested police officers at N8 million adding that each buyer would be expected to repay through a mortgage scheme made available by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN).
He pointed out that similar estates were currently being built in other parts of the country including Abuja, Kaduna and Kano.
Admitting that lack of housing is one of the challenges faced by police officers and their families all over the country, Mr. Abubakar urged the FG to help construct more barracks across the country and help rehabilitate the existing ones.
“It is only with the aggression of the Federal Government that acute housing shortage of the police can be tackled,” he stated.
Also speaking, Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade, commended the efforts of the President and IGP, adding that men and officers of the force will continue to be loyal to the administration of President Jonathan.
Why Jonathan and His Wife Are After Me ––Governor Amaechi Bares It All
Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi has finally opened up; he accused President Goodluck Jonathan of turning the PDP into a “one-man show” and of condoning “impunity and authoritarianism” in an effort to ensure his re-election in 2015 at all cost...
Amaechi, in an interview he granted the Financial Times of London, added that the President and his wife, Patience, were bent on removing him from office.
He traced his travails to the fear in the Presidency that whoever was in charge of Nigeria Governor’s Forum had the capacity to influence the presidential election in 2015.
The governor said, “There is this fear in the Presidential Villa that whoever chairs the Governors’ Forum will influence the presidential election,” Amaechi told FT in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
In a report posted by FT on Sunday, he alleged that “What has happened has been engineered to the point where the President and his wife are trying to remove me from office.”
“We are seeing an absence of law and order that can breed anarchy. It seems those at Federal Government level are not interested in democracy, but impunity and authoritarianism. The President needs to check this,” the governor added.
Amaechi also told the FT that he had not decided on his plans for 2015. He said that efforts by some in the PDP leadership to claim that he had lost the governors’ forum vote, despite him obtaining 19 votes to his challenger’s (Jonah Jang of Plateau State) 16, was a concerning sign ahead of 2015.

Shocking Confession:’I Slept With My Mother To Become Mystical’ (A Must Read)
It was a beautiful Saturday morning, I was garbed in a pair of jeans, on a pair of Timberland boots, a military sweat shirt, and my JackMoody denim jacket.
I had been attacked by men of the underworld the night before whilst we were on production, at the office. So I slung my black Ted Baker satchel across my right shoulder, armed with my camera, my midget, and some other small gizmos.
I was more determined, to embark on this adventure, than ever before…
I was headed for the ancient city of brown roofs, Ibadan where a one-time Nigeria’s most notorious and dreaded bandit that ever lived SHINA RAMBO mounted the pulpit to preach!!! What an irony you would say.
I was headed for the ancient city of brown roofs, Ibadan where a one-time Nigeria’s most notorious and dreaded bandit that ever lived SHINA RAMBO mounted the pulpit to preach!!! What an irony you would say.
Now Mathew Oluwanifemi, Shina Rambo was a name that sent shivers down the spine of people who lived in the South West of Nigeria and even outside Nigeria, like Benin Republic and neighborhood, in the 1990’s. He was a hardened criminal, a terror and killer, one whom men of the security agencies will never forget in a haste!
A man mountain, towering about 6ft 5inch, well built, dark skinned and sweltering eyes, he carried out his operations, like a movie, in the broad day light, with sophisticated weapons, and bullet belts and explosives strapped roundabout him! He specialized in robbing exotic cars on highways and banks. Nothing could stop him, not even security operatives, he was totally invincible. He was Shina Rambo!
He was born in the year 1958 to a military man who was a bad egg in the service. His father was from Abeokuta in Ogun state, but his mother was a native of Sabongida–Ora in Edo state. His father had over 18 wives, as was the norm for soldiers to impregnate virtually every woman they met where they were posted to.
His father used his military influence to rob innocent citizens, and always brought huge amount of money home. This used to entice little Shina. He recalls, “I remembered when I was about 7 years old, my father came home with a lot of money, foreign currencies, with blood on it, and they were using something like a woman’s scarf to wipe it, then I asked him, is this an animal’s blood, or human blood? But he wouldn’t answer me, they were just drinking, smoking, and merry making.”
Shina was already indoctrinated into the underworld by his father at a tender age of 7 without him knowing it, as he would sit in front of his son, to dismantle and assemble all sorts of weapons and then polishing them in preparation for an operation. This went on for so long till one day, little Shina, entered into his father’s room while he had stepped into the toilet, and saw a dismembered gun on the floor. He sat down in front of it, and bit by bit, he had assembled it effortlessly in no time at all. His father came out of the toilet, and saw his son, with a loaded gun in his hands. Shina flashed back and said, “That day my father was so disappointed, that he wanted to kill me, he grabbed the gun from my hand and shot straight at me, but I miraculously escaped out of the room.
Then he waited for me to be less alert at night he came to my room with a machete and tried to behead me, but once again, I escaped, but the machete caught my left leg. (rolled up his trouser to show us the large scar, that made everyone sighed in pity). It cut me so deep I thought I was never going to walk again. That day I knew I had graduated, all that was left was to pull the trigger, and I was so eager.
Shina Rambo became so notorious in no time, and was hell bent on succeeding in his career as an armed robber, that he went through any length to secure spiritual powers for fortification. To the extent of pounding over 27 live new born babies in the mortar with a pestle, cutting off about 100 human tongues and cooking them to eat, visiting the spiritual river called river of life in Ogoja, Cross Rivers State, living in an Iroko tree for days, and sleeping in the cemetery.
He was given a spiritual wife who always followed him for any operation, she dressed like an Alhaja, people thought she was human, but she was a spirit, that was why they never saw her face. He said she was his personal driver, that she could drive from Nigeria to Cotonou, in the speed of light. Hear him. ”I was involved in so many rituals, that I can’t start naming them now, I was so powerful, I went underground, inside trees that looked like a city, a lot of beautiful houses inside the tree, I had my own too, I went into a river called River of life in Ogoja, where a lot of politicians and wealthy men used to come, I had several personalities, I could change my form whenever I wanted to, that’s why the police were busy killing innocent people, and thought they were killing Shina Rambo.
The 9 herbalists that gave me that power, I became stronger than them, one day I went to their shrines, and killed all of them, so that they don’t reveal my secrets. I had too many powers; my spiritual wife could drive any car in this world or out of it, no police vehicle, or anyone for that matter, could ever chase and catch me during an operation. She was out of this world, and when she had completed her operation, they took her away from me. I could give anything to get powers, and the elders knew, so they also gave me anything I wanted.
I once beheaded hundred men, and gave them the heads fresh, they were so happy with me that they made me invincible. No matter the kind of bullet you shot at me, it was just like pure water on my body. I could give anything to get power, but of all the things I did to get power, the one that still breaks my heart the most, is sleeping with my mother. My father is dead now, but my mother is still alive, and she lives with me she is 85 years old, whenever I set my eyes on her, I just start crying. I can`t bear it…
Shina Rambo was a raging terror, he was infallibly dangerous, the police dreaded him, both in Nigeria, and Benin Republic, his place of interest for business. He would go to police stations, in broad daylight and kill every policeman there, drive to check points and open fire on every policeman on duty, he didn’t like the police at all, and was never afraid of them, he operated in broad day light armed to the teeth looking like Johny Rambo, in the popular Sylvester Stalone movie, “First Blood”.
He once robbed 40 exotic cars in one day and drove all of them in a convoy, from Lagos to Cotonou, unstopped. He was powerful; he was wealthy, and impenetrable. He was a tin god, apparently belched from the very arroyo hell, we all dreaded him. He had a wife and three children, but he lost all of them in one day during a bloody police raid whilst he was away on operation. His wife was his stabilizing factor his life changed afterwards. He says “my wife was everything to me, I was forbidden by the elders to sleep with any other woman apart from her, I could gather about 50 women around me in a hotel, and they will just be playing with me, we would smoke, drink, and sniff cocaine, I will give them money but I will never sleep with them. I will go back home to my wife and sleep with her. That was why the police never caught me.
She knew my job, she knew what I was, I never left them alone at night, I operated in the day time and go back home to my family at night. I had everything, I was very wealthy, I once spent 50 million naira in a day. I did it a lot, there was one day that we were coming from an operation and it seemed as if my powers were going to fail me, the police and the army were almost closing in on us, so we had to drive into a crowd and threw millions of naira in the air, there was commotion, everybody was busy picking naira notes even the police, until we escaped. I was too rich, but anything the devil gives you never lasts, he will collect more from you, it’s only the devil that will give you Fila, (cap) and ask for Iro and Buba.(wrapper and top). I lost everything, all the money, my family; I was so powerful the police couldn’t catch me but I lost it all.
I had to surrender myself to the police, and I was arrested and jailed for 11 years. When I was serving my jail term in Agodi prisons, Ibadan, Prophet T.O Obadare came visiting, and having been encouraged several times by the Christian brothers and sisters in the prison to give my life to Christ, he prayed for me and converted me, and changed my name to Oluwanifemi, and it was so miraculous, the next day I woke up and started speaking in tongues. It was during the time of President Olusegun Obasanjo, that we were granted freedom.
At this point, I was glued to my seat, the revival where Shina Rambo gave this exclusive confession was on an open ground revival in the ancient city of Ibadan, right in front of me, on stage, was Evangelist Mathew Oluwanifemi, the once feared Shina Rambo, clad in a loose fitting shirt, black pants and a pair of leather sandals with a black Holy Bible in his hands, gigantic dark skinned and bald headed, still had those fiery looks, and stealth movement.
I was more transfixed than focused, God is indeed awesome, he picked the offering basket raised it to the congregation prayed and asked who had anything to give to God, at first I was reluctant, my mind was occupied and out of an innate compulsion, sheer curiosity I stood up, dipped my hand in my pocket walked towards him briskly and calculatedly brought out my offering, dropped it into the basket, and looked deep into his eyes, I had too many things to ask him, there were too many questions unanswered. He looked back at me, and spoke in Yoruba, saying God bless you my brother; we know your type when we see them.
The congregation broke into a mild giggle, as all eyes were on me as I went back to my seat, with a lot of things on my mind, and the red light on my midget still blinking, in the breast pocket of my jacket…..

stretch marks or striae distensae but they can disappear and here is how!
During pregnancy, the skin first stretches resulting in stretch marks, and then on losing weight, the skin folds on itself, making the striae more visible. Stretch marks also appear when young men go start body building to increase their chest and shoulders.
As the name suggests, stretch marks (or striae distensae) are created by the breakdown of elastic tissue as the skin stretches or distends.
With technological advancements in the field of beauty and aesthetics, a number of conscious people are today heading to aesthetic clinics to get rid of stretch marks.
Modern day technologies help wipe away stretch marks.
Marks or scars are never a pleasing sight. Many people feel traumatised and troubled if they have stretch marks. Women who have just delivered go through a range of emotions when they experience a drastic change in their bodies, stretch marks are something that also trouble them.
At clinics, we provide a range of procedures to lighten stretch marks such as diamond microdermabrasion, laser treatments and thermage, among others. These are technologies developed with great research, and they help people feel better about themselves.
Diamond Microdermabrasion is a technique that lightens the striae by flattening them out. In this we polish the stretch marks with a combination of cut and uncut diamonds fixed on platinum tips. With this the stretch marks become softer, lighter and less visible. 8-12 sessions, once a week can be helpful. Besides, multiple sessions with chemical peels can also help lighten stretch marks.
Affirm Multiplex Laser that uses multiple light wavelengths (1320 and 1440 nm) is very effective. This is a fractional laser, which uses CAP technology to enhance the results. This is a short relatively pain free treatment .You may need 4 to 6 sessions ,one session every 2 to 3 weeks. Cynergy multiplex laser (combination of Pulse Dye and YAG laser) using sequential mode technique is also an effective modality to lighten stretch marks.
Thermage technique uses radiofrequency to tighten and contract skin. Most women develop looseness and stretch marks over the lower abdomen post pregnancy. Thermage treatment for the tummy also helps to tighten and flatten the tummy and in the process stretch marks become less visible.
Scarlet is a minimally invasive procedure and uses micro needle electrode, which delivers direct radiofrequency energy into the superficial and deeper layers of the skin through precise depth. As the micro needles penetrate and deliver the energy directly into the tissue, the stretch marks begin fading.
Is it possible to avoid stretchmarks?
This is a question, whihc most people ask. To avoid stretch marks: One could massage the affected area with vitamin E, 1% cream (e.g. Evion). Aloe Vera gel could be applied over stretch marks twice a day. These simple remedies if started while the stretch marks are appearing can retard their development. Plus, taking supplements like vitamin A, E and B is also helpful.

'Senator Ahmed Sani Yerima is a waste of his father's semen' - Comedian Gbenga Adeyinka( what about all the other morons that voted?)
Comedian Gbenga Adeyinka |
Good people, so sorry to disturb you this rainy afternoon. I just read the response from a truly sick Senator Ahmed Yerima, A second time governor, A two term senator and truly a pervert trying to justify Child Marriage.
He says that child marriage is a solution to abortion and prostitution. I guess it also must be a solution to Embezzlement, Bad leadership, Insecurity and all the other problems that he and his type have heaped on our nation since independence.
If it is not that I was brought up not to insult adults, I would have called him a sorry excuse of a human being and a waste of his father's sperm but I will not.
I will only end this by telling him that nothing he says can ever justify marrying a baby as a wife, even if he claims they don't sleep with them at a young age.
Since he likes Egypt so much, I will end this by praying that may the fleas of a thousand Egyptian Camels infest his pubic area and armpit.
Boy, 17, Kidnapped By Own Brother, Released
Police in Delta State have arrested four persons in connection with Henry Oke Dukuye's (17) abduction. Those apprehended include the manager of a hotel in Abraka, Ethiope-East Local Government Area, and the elder brother of the victim, in Warri.
The young man was abducted last Sunday and allegedly taken to a hotel by a kidnap gang, a member of which his brother was. The group subsequently demanded and collected ransom from his family.
The victim's father, Mr. Johnson Dukuye, reported the kidnapping of his son to the police on Monday, and the Special Anti-Kidnapping Squad (SAKS) detailed an Assistant Superintendent of Police to handle the matter.
State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Ikechukwu Aduba, revealed, "It was an insider's job. The victim's elder brother, an undergraduate, was one of the suspected kidnappers arrested."
According to Aduba, "As soon as report was lodged with the police, the Government House Tracking Team was deployed to Warri and, at about 09.00 hours on July 19, the victim was rescued unhurt by the police through a bait of ransom."
He gave the names of the suspects nabbed as Isaac, Kelvin, Blessing and Paul, adding that part of the ransom collected by the gang was recovered by the police.
NANS President: "Gunmen Searched For Me, Robbed Me -- For Supporting ASUU"
National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Prince Miaphen, has alleged threat to his life for declaring support for university lecturers who have vowed not to resume work until agreements reached with the federal government are met.
The Academic Staff Union of Universities will enter the fourth week of its industrial action over unimplemented terms, and meetings with government officials and federal lawmakers have failed to resolve the issues.
The students' body, NANS, last week declared support for ASUU's decision to resume work only after the government implements the entire agreement both sides reached since 2009.
Mr. Miaphen expressed fears for his life on Saturday in a press statement, and said unidentified armed men had stormed his resident in Jos, and catered away his valuables.
"On the 19th of July 2013, at about 1pm to 2pm, a white color Jeep entered my house at Wamba Road GRA in Jos, with armed men and catered away almost all my properties worth hundreds of thousands, after searching for me tirelessly to no avail; fortunately for me, I had traveled to Ekiti state where I am schooling," he said.
Mr. Miaphen said his aide, who escaped being attacked by the suspected assassins, informed security agents about the incident and police visited the scene of the incident and took inventory of the items remaining in the house.
He said he has also informed the State Security Service of the threat to his life.
Items removed from his apartment include "two 36-inch flat screen television set, one 16-inch television set, a complete set of home-theater, one 56-inch refrigerator, micro-wave gas cooker and other valuables with an undisclosed sum of money."
Mr. Miaphen said he was not in contention for anything with anyone, and wondered why the attack on his person was coming barely hours after NANS leadership expressed its opinion over the ongoing industrial action by ASUU, and called for the sack of the Minister of education for incompetence.
Democracy÷Dame = Dam-ocracy, By Sonala Olumhense
By Sonala Olumhense
I make this small contribution to a growing school of study which is strenuously trying to understand Dame Patience Faka Jonathan, Nigeria's First Lady. For want of a better name, I will call them the Damologists.
This effort is at some personal risk, as Mrs. Jonathan has previously denounced me in a newspaper advertorial, an unwanted but telling distinction. It began with an article entitled: 'Patience Jonathan: Nigeria's Most Powerful Woman,' on October 27, 2007.
Reflecting on how Mrs. Jonathan had been halted twice in one month by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) for money-laundering only for both matters to disappear, Nigeria style, I asked: "If Mrs. Jonathan can so effectively laugh at the so-called war on corruption, does that not make her the First Lady? On what basis does she perform her functions – the recommendations of the EFCC? Why has Mrs. Jonathan assumed the status of untouchable, or is she truly the nation's most powerful woman?"
I do not know if Turai Yar'Adua enjoyed the reference to another woman as the nation's most powerful ahead of her, but it did not matter. I was in the front row of the first class to study the emerging phenomenon from Rivers State.
The first thing to understand is that Dame Patience Faka Jonathan is no ordinary Nigerian. I know the history books refer to her as the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, but that is wrong, and I say that not because she famously numbered herself among the widows during the 2011 election campaigns. After all, those same infernal books also refer to her as a Permanent Secretary in Bayelsa State, and we know that to be false. Who, truly, is Dame Jonathan? She is a teacher, a cautionary tale. Her principal mission is to teach Nigeria a lesson.
Let me demonstrate.
Dame—or The Dame as she is often referred to—was not her title when she was first introduced to the national limelight during her money-laundering confrontations with the EFCC in 2006.
When Justice Anwuli Chikere of the Federal High Court, Abuja was authorizing the freezing of the N104 million pending the conclusion of an investigation into the money-laundering offence against her on August 22 of that year, she was no Dame. When the EFCC announced three weeks later had seized another $13.5 million from her, she was no Dame, just the wife of the governor of Bayelsa State.
It is instructive that within two years, both cases against Mrs. Jonathan all but vanished, generally mentioned only twice thereafter. In the first, in 2010, Nuhu Ribadu, the EFCC supremo who introduced her as a money-laundering suspect in the first place, denied there were ever cases. He did not substantiate the claim, say where the monies were, or answer the key questions.
In the second mention, in July 2011, the Coalition Against Impunity and Illegality (CAGIL) announced a legal action against the EFCC for refusing to bring Mrs. Jonathan to justice over the $13.5 million money laundering allegations.
MoreBy then, of course, Mr. Jonathan had obtained the presidency in his own name, and, I think, explained to the Dame the true meaning of his "Transformation Agenda": life on the executive jet with the keys to the Central Bank in your hands.
Also, in that mid-2011, Mrs. Farida Waziri, a confidante of some of Nigeria's most corrupt persons, had been given control of the EFCC and had started to dismantle its records, disperse its personnel, and unhinge its credibility.
Among her unsung victims, as the EFCC descended into infamy, was one Osita Nwajah who, as EFCC spokesman in 2006, had made the announcement in the international press concerning Mrs. Jonathan’s $13.5 million albatross.
But things don't always go according to the best Nollywood dreams, and Mrs. Jonathan disappeared from public view in August 2012. Reports of her hospitalization abroad were either ignored by the government headed by her husband, or denied.
One of the most important denials was by Mrs. Jonathan herself. Returning to the country in October 2012 following several mysterious weeks abroad, she denied ever being sick. She did not even know the hospital about which she was linked in sickness, she swore.
Patience's pretence lasted about four months. In February 2013, at an Aso Rock Thanksgiving service in which she was reported to have wept publicly, she confessed how she had actually been so sick in September and October of 2012 she had endured eight or nine surgeries in one month.
"It was God himself in His infinite mercy that said I will return to Nigeria," she said, swearing to work for the under-privileged from then on. "God woke me up after seven days."
That was five months ago, during which time she appears to have found no time for the under-privileged. Instead, in the crisis in Rivers, her home state, she has helped push the country to the brink.
The pattern here suggests that Mrs. Jonathan thinks of herself as Mrs. President. Either that or somebody has been too scared to explain the facts of life to her.
Either way, Mrs. Jonathan has made it her business, her style and her focus to engineer crises wherever she goes, to expend authority she does not have, to squander public resources to which she lacks official access, and to drag the presidency into shark-infested political waters.
If you want proof Mrs. Jonathan thinks she is Mrs. President or owns one half of the presidency, read last week's imperious public statement she made on her involvement in the Rivers State crisis.
"This office wishes to call on all feuding parties in Rivers State… It is our position… We subscribe to the fact that…"
This office? Our position? We?
If you cannot locate in the Nigerian constitution the office to which she alludes, or cannot identify the political person on behalf of which she uses those pronouns, it should be easy to appreciate the difficulties that face the Nigerian state.
This is why Mrs. Jonathan has become Nigeria's most dangerous woman. She diminishes and imperils the presidency as an institution. Her range of vision stops at power as a tool for massaging her considerable ego, or ice-cream for her appetite. As economies and communities she has halted in mid-step for hours have found out, power for her is a game.
Sadly, in this subversive role, it is President Jonathan that has empowered his wife. While other leaders support their First Lady's initiatives to provide hope and sustenance to the poor, or opportunities to the talented, his own political ambitions have blinded him to the alchemy he has brewed.
In case it is unclear, the Jonathans have accomplished two things. The first is that they arrived with a lot of baggage to which they are drawing renewed attention. The other is that under their dual presidency, this Dam-ocracy, noon may yet be darker than the night. The lesson Mrs. Jonathan teaches Nigerians is the need for perpetual vigilance in order to protect the little we do have.
Police Inspector Hacks Wife to Death Over "Infidelity"
A true drama unfolded in Aba, Abia State, as a police Inspector attached to the Zone 9 Police Command, Umuahia, has hacked his wife to death over alleged infidelity.
It has been gathered that the police Inspector [names withheld] who lives at Judges Barracks, Central Police Station (CPS), Aba, had at about 8.00 pm on Friday accused the wife of infidelity. According to a source, the officer has attacked his wife with a machete -- despite her repeated denials. The woman didn't survive the cuts and later died.
The husband was immediately arrested and detained by police authorities in Aba. Investigation revealed that it was not the first time the Inspector, who hails from Boki Local Government Area of Cross River, would attack his wife over alleged infidelity at the slightest provocation.
It has also been gathered that the Inspector's colleagues had warned him against the tendency to beat his wife, advising him rather to divorce her if he could no longer cope with her.
When contacted, Abia State commissioner of Police, Usman Tilli Abubakar, confirmed the incident, describing it as unfortunate. He said he has directed that the matter be transferred to the State Criminal and Investigation Department (SCID), Umuahia, for further investigations, assuring that the police officer would face the law if found guilty.
North Insistence On 2015 Presidency Is Wrong – Mohammed
The National Coordinator, Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has criticised two umbrella groups of the North, the Northern Elders’ Forum and the Arewa Consultative Forum for their insistence on presidency in 2015.
He said rather than call for rotation of power, the electorate should be free to elect leaders who were fair and just from any part of the country.
He further said democracy must be premised on credible elections, which must be conducted by impartial, independent and unbiased umpire.
Mohammed told our correspondent in an interview on Friday that he was not opposed to the two bodies, provided their goal was achieved in a democratic manner.
“Not everybody who speaks on behalf of the North is actually speaking the heart of the North. When you check the credentials of these people, who are they to speak for the North? How many times have they won any form of election?” he asked.
He criticised the military regimes of Gen. Ibrahim Babangida and Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar, which, according to him, added no value to the North despite being their origin.
He warned that power should not be handed over to those who would not add value to the region when it eventually returned.
He said, “Of what use was IBB’s tenure as Head of State? What benefit did be bring to the North, I want know? Tell me what he did for the North. If these are the kind of people the North wants to bring to government, they should forget about me. They should excommunicate me and say I’m not a northerner.
“I only want people who are fair, honest and patriotic; who will treat everybody fairly, not because they are northerners. I have seen some honourable governors and I have seen some very horrible governors.”
While faulting the zoning formula of the Poeples Democratic Party, which was adopted during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Mohammed said it would be undemocratic to restrict public offices to zones in the country.
He said, “Neither Obasanjo nor all those clamouring for return of power to the North are speaking for the North. Those who are saying power must go to the North (in 2015) are not democrats. Anybody who insists that power must go to somewhere by circumventing the principle of free and fair election is not a democrat.”
Mohammed further said it was wrong for those who were not part of the meeting in which President Goodluck Jonathan allegedly signed a one-term pact with the North to deny the deal.
He said the meeting had Jonathan, governors (some of whom are in their second term) in attendance.
“I was neither the president nor a governor; that shows that I was not present at the meeting. Dr. Edwin Clark and some people who were not governors at that point in time were not at the meeting but they were the ones denying the pact.
“The President has not come out to say no, there was no such thing. But, the governors said there is an agreement. Most of those talking were not part of the meeting and no amount of noise making by anybody will settle the issue,” Mohammed said.
Six northern organisations – Arewa Consultative Forum and the Northern Elders’ Forum, Arewa Reawakening Forum, Arewa Research and Development Project, Northern Union and the Code Group – had on July 16, 2013, insisted that the North must produce the nation’s President in 2015.
At a joint news conference in Kaduna, the NEF spokesman and former Adviser on Food Security to Obasanjo, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, who spoke for the groups, insisted that an existing agreement that the Presidency should return to the region must be strictly followed.
He said rather than call for rotation of power, the electorate should be free to elect leaders who were fair and just from any part of the country.
