PRESIDENT ELECT WILL EMERGE TODAY-INEC CHAIRMAN JEGA

The Independent National Electoral Commission has said that despite the extension of Saturday’s elections till Sunday in some parts of the country, the results of the presidential poll will be declared on Monday(today).

INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, gave the assurance   as some of results from wards, local government areas and states continued to emerge on Sunday.

For instance, results from Osun and Ogun states showed the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, defeating President Goodluck Jonathan.

But in Ekiti State, Jonathan had an easy ride as he beat the APC candidate.

Jega, who gave journalists an update on the conduct of the polls in Abuja, said that as of Sunday evening, results of the elections had only been completely collated in two states, one of which was Ekiti.

He said, “Some people assume that when I said 48 hours( for the release of the results), it starts from the morning the elections commenced. It is 48 hours after elections have ended, like yesterday(Saturday).

“You start counting 48 hours from yesterday (Saturday) when substantial majority of the polling units ended elections.”

The INEC chief expressed satisfaction over the conduct of the   polls, which he said held in a substantial number of polling units across the country, including the troubled North-East zone   where   internally displaced persons   voted in   Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states.

“We are pleased that the elections went on smoothly in a substantial number of polling units across the country, including the North-East where the commission was also able to conduct voting for Internally Displaced Persons in the three states of Adamawa, Yobe and Borno,” Jega said.

He said that out of more than   150,000 card readers used for the conduct of the polls , only 300   failed, representing   about 0.25 per cent of the total number of machines.

“It is also gratifying to note that the card readers worked well in the majority of polling units, even though there were areas where difficulties experienced necessitated additional guidelines to allow for manual accreditation of voters, as announced yesterday (Saturday),” Jega said.

He stated that manual accreditation was done in some polling units in   Osun, Kebbi, Ekiti, Adamawa, Borno, Jigawa, Anambra, Akwa Ibom and Ebonyi states.”

Jega said the elections were extended and   concluded on Sunday in nine states and the Federal Capital Territory.

Taraba State has the highest number of 116 polling units where the polls were extended.

Other states where the number of polling units where the elections were extended are Lagos (90), Kebbi (16), Adamawa (25), Niger (six ), Yobe (37), Borno (eight), Jigawa (37), Kano (13) and FCT (two).

He also rejected the claim by the spokesman for the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation,   Femi Fani-Kayode, that his party had won in certain number of states.

Jega, who said Fani-Kayode should be asked the source of his figures, stated that as of the time he was addressing the journalists on Sunday evening, collation had only been concluded in two states. He said that   the results from the two had yet to arrive Abuja in the manner that it could be announced.

The chairman said, “You said somebody in one of the parties said the PDP is winning in 23 states. I don’t know the sources of his information. I know result have not been collated in 23 states.

“May be you should direct the questions to him and let him explain.”

He   advised journalists “to be careful about reporting this kind of information that is being put out there by people who are clearly partisan.”

He also debunked speculation that he was under pressure to declare results of the presidential election inconclusive.

We are not under any pressure to declare inconclusive elections. In fact, I wonder who will be interested in declaring the election inconclusive. I think candidates will be interested in being declared winners and not to have the election declared inconclusive,” Jega said.

The INEC boss said his office had on Sunday morning received petitions from the APC in Rivers State calling for outright cancellation of the elections   in the state.

He assured the petitioners that the commission would consider all the complaints, including the allegation of presence of some underage voters and substitution of some members of the commission’s ad hoc staff with untrained partisan persons in Rivers and Lagos states.

However, results from Osun State showed that Buhari recorded   victory in 22 out of the 24 Local Government Areas   so far announced by the state INEC. He had 264,734 votes.

Jonathan,who won the remaining LGAs – Ife Central and Ife East – scored 192,288 votes.

The   results were announced in Osogbo by the returning officers for each of the LGAs on Sunday.

Also in Ogun State, the APC presidential candidate defeated Jonathan in 13 out of the 20 LGAs whose results were announced by INEC.

He polled 308, 290 votes while Jonathan scored 207,950 votes.

The APC candidate for the Ogun Central Senatorial District,   Lanre Tejuoso, defeated   PDP’s Abisola Sodipo-Clark, the wife of an Ijaw national leader, Edwin Clark.

Tejuoso scored 115, 197 votes while Sodipo-Clark had 30,036 votes. The sitting senator for Ogun Central and Social Democratic Party’s candidate, Olugbenga Obadara, got 15,124 votes.

Jonathan, however, had it easy in Ekiti State where he polled 176,466 votes from 16 councils in the state. Buhari garnered 120,331 votes.

The result was announced by the state Returning Officer, Prof. Adebiyi Daramola, to party officials on Sunday.

It was also a sweet victory for the PDP as it won all the three senatorial and six House of Representatives seats in the state.

Impliedly, by implication two of the APC   senators – Anthony Adeniyi and Olubunmi Adetumbi – who contested the poll   will not join their colleagues in the eight National   Assembly.

Gbenga Olofin, the third APC candidate for Ekiti Central was defeated by Fatimat Raji-Rasaki, wife of a former Lagos State military administrator, Brig.-Gen. Raji Rasaki of the PDP.

Those elected for the House of Representatives seats are Kehinde Agboola, Ayotunde Oladimeji, Thaddeus Aina, Olamide Oni, Akin Awodumila and Segun Adekola.

In Kogi State, Buhari was leading by polling 108,817 votes from six LGAs as against Jonathan’s 84,555 in five LGAs.

The APC candidate also won in Dekina, the LGA of Governor Idris Wada with 18, 819 votes to Jonathan’s 13,885 votes. He also won in Amadu Alli’s LGA of Idah with 10,445 votes to Jonathan’s 6,113.

But there was a mild tension in parts of Imo State on Sunday as armed officials of the Department of State Services, the Police and the Army barred journalists from collation centres in the state.

At the collation centre in Owerri Municipal Council Secretariat, journalists were turned back from the gate by stern looking security operatives who asked them to go back   and wait until the results were announced.

All efforts to reach the Resident Electoral Commissioner, George Ada, were abortive as his telephone was switched off.

A*M*U*S*T READ FOR ALL YOUNG LADIES AND PREGNANT WOMEN.

Twice as many children born to mothers who took antibiotics during pregnancy were diagnosed with asthma by age 3 than children born to mothers who didn’t take prenatal antibiotics, a new study has shown.
The study, published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the scientific publication of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI), followed 298 mother-child pairs through the child’s third year of life. The study found that 22 percent of the 103 children born to mothers who took antibiotics during pregnancy were diagnosed with asthma by age 3. In contrast, only 11 percent of the children born to mothers who didn’t take antibiotics prenatally were similarly diagnosed.
Recent discussions of antibiotic use have centered on the fact that overuse has increased the number of drug-resistant germs, and decreased the effectiveness of many treatments.
“We were particularly interested in how prenatal antibiotic use affected at-risk children — those with a parent with asthma, hay fever or eczema,” said study author Brittany Lapin, MPH.”

ENUGU STATE TRADERS WITH CERTIFICATES WILL NOW GET BOARD APPOINTMENTS.

Enugu State traders with certificates will now get board appointments.
The gubernatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who made the promise, said it was a means of giving the traders a sense of belonging in the affairs of the State.

Ugwuanyi, who was impressed by the large turnout of traders at the Ogbete Main Market Enugu, who virtually shut down their stores to welcome the PDP campaign train to the market, noted that his decision to accommodate educated traders in his administration was borne out of his desire to identify with the traders and encourage them to contribute their quota to the development of the State.

He also disclosed that his administration would not only carter for the basic needs of the traders but also create a platform for the improvement of their services and comfort.

The PDP gubernatorial candidate also promised to provide transformers to some major markets in the State to help boost electricity supply for efficiency and productivity, adding that the traders were important stakeholders in the State with a high population of voters and deserved to be given serious attention at all times.

Ugwuanyi, who thanked the market traders for their earlier endorsement of his gubernatorial bid, further appealed to them to campaign vigorously for the PDP and as well vote massively for President Goodluck Jonathan and all other candidates of the Party in the State in the coming elections in order for them to continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy.

Earlier in his address, the President of Ogbete Main Market Association, Enugu and President-General, Enugu State Traders Association, Hon Temple Udeh told the PDP campaign train that Enugu markets, which had the highest concentration of votes in the State had been PDP whole and entire since 1999, and assured the party of a complete vote for all its candidates during the elections.

He also commended the party for deeming it fit to visit the markets in the State to campaign for votes and interface with the traders, emphasizing that they were the first to endorse the candidature of Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.

Other markets visited by the PDP train were Aria Market, Enugu, Abakpa Markets and Emene Market, Enugu.

The train will today visit New Artisan Market, Enugu, Ninth Mile Market, Ngwo and Nsukka Main Market, Nsukka in conclusion of the last phase of the party’s campaign train.

E*X*P*O*S*E*D EMEKA IKE LISTS PRODUCERS WHO SLEEPS WITH ACTRESSES IN EXCHANGE FOR MOVIE ROLES.

Emeka Ike Lists producers who sleep with Actresses in exchange for movie roles,
Actor and producer, Emeka Ike has slammed AGN president,
Ibinabo Fibreisima and other Nollywood star for allegedly pulling Nollywood down.

He listed producers who sleep with actresses as a prerequisite for offering them roles.

Speaking to Journalists at the 2nd edition of the City People’s Political Award held recently in Lagos, Emeka who wants to be AGN president said..

”There are five people who have taken the laws of Nigerian movie industry into their hands.
They are Emma Ogugua,
Murphy Stephen,
Sunny McDon,
Okey Bakassi
and Ifeanyi Dikeh.

These five people registered Actors Guild of Nigeria as their personal business. No other individual can come in.”My first concern is to clean up Nollywood, clean up AGN. Every Nigerian youth who want to act movies now, what future are we leaving for them? Where are they going to write their names?”..

“The two bedroom in Surulere where they would ask you to come and grace their beds before they give you roles? Where they would make you join a g*y group or le*sb group before they talk to you?

“Nollywood has gotten so bad that you must either strip and grace their beds or join the gay or lesbian group to belong.”

“The people at the helm of affairs are the ones killing Nollywood. Some of us the well-known actors don’t even know their rights. I dare say it again, they don’t. Nobody can come out to challenge me.”

“We built this industry with pain. Those who are at the helm of affairs now, people don’t even know them in the movies. They just came in and messed everything up.”

“Ibinabo has been acting as the president of AGN for years now, but with her case as an ex-convict, do you have any moral justification to recognize her as the president? The court case is still on and the war continues.”

“That wasn’t the industry I founded. My daughter may go into that industry tomorrow and they would say she must sleep with one of them to get a role. Neither would my son be a part of Nollywood that is full of immoralities.”I can never allow them to be part of it.Let us join hand and pray for nollywood.

NNAMDI KANU DECLARED WANTED FOR ILLEGAL FIREARMS DEAL.

Detectives attached to the Mon­itoring Unit of the Imo State police command have arrest­ed two General Overseers (GO) for alleged gunrunning. The sus­pects, Clifford Nmenabu, founder, God Covenant of Christ the King Sabbath Missionary and Festus Daniel Igwe of Zion House of Prayer Sabbath Mission­ary were alleged to have procured five AK47 rifles for use during the forthcom­ing general elections.

Speaking on how the suspects were busted, the state Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali told Saturday Sun that the command acted on a tip-off which indi­cated that the suspects had acquired some firearms. According to him: “On February 13, 2015, policemen led by the officer in charge of the Monitoring Unit, Superin­tendent of Police, Linus Nwaiwu stormed their churches in Oru East Local Govern­ment Area, arrested and recovered all the guns.”

CP Ali explained that in the course of in­vestigation, it was discovered that the cler­ics were contracted by one Mr K. Nnamdi who they claim is based in London.

“The two clerics were given an advance cash of N300,000 for 10 pieces of AK 47 rifles and to be given a cash balance of N1.2million as soon as they deliver. The suspects were nabbed when they were about to hand over the five AK47 rifles to a group of persons who claim to be repre­senting Biafra in the church premises of Pastor Igwe.”

The police boss also said that his com­mand has declared Nnamdi wanted and would charge the suspects to court at the end of the investigation.

One of the suspects, Pastor Nmenabu, 67, said that apart from his ministry, he is dealing in arms. “I am the General Overse­er of God Covenant of Christ the King Sab­bath Missionary. I have been in the minis­try for over 35 years. I am also into buying and selling of arms and ammunition. I was listening to Radio Biafra London when the broadcaster, who introduced himself as Nnamdi, gave out a number through which he can be reached. I called him and he ex­plained that he is the coordinator of the popular Biafra group.

“I told him who I am and what I can do for the group. He gave me the contract and I decided to ask my fellow priest, Igwe who has contacts. He offered to pay N1.2 mil­lion for 10 AK47 rifles. He gave us N300, 000 as a deposit. We were waiting for the balance when policemen stormed my house and arrested us”, he confessed.The second suspect, High Priest Festus Igwe, 63, said that he is willing to assist the police to track down Nnamdi who is currently on the run. “I am the GO of the Zion House of Prayers Sabbath Mission. I was in the church, when Pastor Nmenabu contacted me that there is a good business on ground. I rushed to his church and gave me the details. Luckily, I still had contact with some arms dealers in Imo state.

He also introduced me to Nnamdi who gave us an advance fee of N300,000.

“We had delivered the five AK47 rifles and was waiting for Nnamdi to bring the balance when the police arrived. I am very sorry. I am ready to assist the police to track down Nnamdi”, he stated.

B*R*E*A*K*I*N*G N*E*W*S A.I.T STUDIO ON FIRE.

ALAYE TINUMBU SETS AIT STUDIO ON FIRE!
When the witch cries at night and a baby dies in the morning, then, the sensible should not find it difficult placing the blame where it should be. The former Governor of Lagos and the CEO of the All Parasites' Congress (APC), has being engulfed in war of words and threats of litigation with the African Independent Television(AIT) for their effrontery to air stories from his criminal past. Tinubu had demanded 20billion Naira from the AIT management, but got a response he never bargained for, when the media outfit responded through its lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN). Daar Communications threw Tinumbu's feces back at him, demanding 100 billion Nair in damages.
Obviously perplexed that his strategy of shutting the vibrant media outfit up didn't work, the man who is known for his dirty past in crime, including fraudulent forgery of certificates, drug dealing, stealing and mind bending corruption, presumably resorted to what he knows best.
The Lagos section of the flagship television station located in Alagbado, Lagos is on fire as we speak, and those whose brains are working well should know whom to suspect. Those who prefer to be mentally blind will throw bricks and brimstones, but the truth no matter how bitter stands tall.

FIRST SOLAR FLIGHT TAKES OFF FROM ABU DHABI U.A.E THIS MORNING TO ADD ANOTHER HISTORY TO THEIR RECORDS.

Ahead of the departure of the first round-the-world solar flight, starting 7.30am today morning (Monday, March 9), Solar Impulse launched the #FutureIsClean movement to gather worldwide support for the use of clean energy.

Swiss explorers Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, Solar Impulse founders and pilots, in a press conference at Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi, said, "Only a significant support will push governments to replace old polluting technologies with clean and efficient technologies.

This is what we want to create throughout our solar powered round-the-world flight. If there are technological solutions to fly a plane day and night without fuel, imagine the potential of these technologies in our daily lives, to achieve energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions. This would help create jobs, develop new industrial markets while also protecting the environment.”

The platform www.FutureIsClean.org, was designed with the support of Google, and aims to mobilise individuals, organisations, celebrities and politicians to confront the Conference on Climate Change of the United Nations (COP21), which will define the new Kyoto Protocol in December 2015 in Paris.

The goal is to establish the largest petition ever created to convince governments to implement technological solutions that are necessary. Every site visitor is asked to add their voice to the message "I want concrete solutions for a clean future" and share among their networks.

Several pages of the site will be dedicated to organisations and influential personalities that are joining the movement such as Solar Impulse’s long-term supporters Prince Albert of Monaco and Richard Branson, Masdar, Irena, New 7 Wonders and Green Cross International.

A global ranking is going to be organised within the community in order to valorise the actions realised by its participants: Invitation of friends, sharing on social networks, sending of photos, and promotion of the hashtag #FutureIsClean.

"We need to encourage those negotiating on our behalf to be bold and make 2015 the year where we stop damaging our planet. The future is now and the future is you. Tackling climate change is the biggest adventure of the 21st century. “Be part of the #FutureIsClean generation,” said Richard Branson.

Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, Chairman of Masdar and UAE Minister of State, and a patron of the movement said, “I am proud and honoured to be a patron of this imperative movement on behalf of the UAE and Masdar.

The 'Future is Clean' is alligned with our country’s objectives, as Masdar and Abu Dhabi are committed to diversifying the global energy mix with reliable wind and solar power.

The world has a shared responsibility – and collective action must be taken – to create a cleaner future. This movement, spearheaded by Solar Impulse, is one of the many ways we can attain our shared objectives and reach a sustainable tomorrow."

The platform #FutureIsClean is also accessible through the updated site, designed to follow the progression of the airplane Si2 during its travel around the world.

Visitors and supporters of the solar project will have the chance to keep up to date about the flight path, its legs ,as well as the life of the pilot on board. Users can directly live the adventure and follow the pilot in his conversations with the Mission Control Center in Monaco (MCC).

Moreover, a virtual cockpit provides the telemetrics of Si2 (altitude, speed, battery level, equipment on board, etc.) and invites children and supporters to immerse themselves into the technical and human challenges that Solar Impulse embarks upon.

Exploration To Change The World : 

DOZENS KILLED AND MANY INJURED AS TRIPLE EXPLOSION ROCKS BORNO.

There was no immediate official word on casualties. A hospital source said dozens had been killed in the separate explosions and witnesses saw bodies being taken away from different blast sites. The attacks came on a day the military claimed to have recaptured two local government areas of Borno State from Boko Haram.
A tricycle rider with a bomb tried to enter a fish market on the Baga Road in the west of Maiduguri. The bomb exploded when the tricycle was prevented from going in, Mohammad Ajia, a trader in Baga market, said after fleeing the scene.
A second blast then hit an area known as the Monday Market before a car bomb exploded by a bus station near a Department of State Security (DSS) office, according to a civilian member of a joint task force.
“Men from the anti-bomb squad came a few minutes after the blast to comb the scene, then they started evacuating victims. I saw five mangled bodies being put in vehicles,” Aliyu Musa, a resident in the area near the DSS office, said.
Near the Monday Market, casualties were loaded onto waiting ambulances.
“I have counted five ambulances that have evacuated victims from the scene. Soldiers are shooting in the air and warding off people at the market,” Salisu Yaya , a member of a civilian task force, told reporters at the Monday market area.
Maiduguri is the capital of Borno State, the heartland of Boko Haram.
Suspected Boko Haram militants tried to seize the city at the end of January but were repelled in fighting that killed more than 100 people.
In a related development, the military claimed, yesterday, that it had recaptured Mafa and Marte Local Governments Areas of Borno State from Boko Haram. “During these operations, the gallant and courageous troops recovered a large quantity of high caliber of arms and ammunitions including anti-aircraft guns from the insurgents”, a statement by the military said.
“It is significant to note that our troops did not suffer any casualty during these operations.
Presently, troops are conducting cordon and search and mopping up operations in the recovered territories, while effort is on going to recover more grounds from the fleeing terrorists.
“With the capture of Mafa, Marte LGAs, and the Chadian troops holding fort in Dikwa, the international route from Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Central African Republic is now fully secured. With this positive development, the security of the area has significantly improved. It is hoped that international trade and socio-economic activities would be restored along this corridor”.
Threat
Meanwhile, Borno State Commissioner for Home Affairs, Information and Culture, Mohammed Bulama, yesterday, threatened to deal with the Maiduguri correspondent of Vanguard Newspapers, Ndahi Marama, over what he termed as his negative reports on Governor Kashim Shettima- led government of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The threat come via a telephone call put through to the reporter by the commissioner at about 1:16pm, moments after yesterday’s blasts in Maiduguri.
Bulama, in the telephone call, told the reporter: “I called to inform you that we are not satisfied with your reports these days, particularly the report you published in Saturday Vanguard which we consider negative to the government, and Wallahi Tallahi ( I swear to God), I will make sure that I terminate your appointment with Vanguard and make your stay uncomfortable in Borno State if you did not desist from writing negative reports on the activities of the state government and APC in general”.
He claimed that throughout last week when his principal embarked on his campaign in the southern part of the state, Vanguard and other newspapers were giving bad publicity to the APC government.
When asked by the reporter why the commissioner threatened him while performing his constitutional duty, Bulama switched off his phone, but not before telling the reporter: “Be   careful”.

MEMBER OF THE COALITION OF THE SOUTH-EAST/SOUTH-SOUTH WORKERS FORUM OF THE N.L.C STAGED A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION.

MEMBERS of the Coalition of the South-East/South-South Workers Forum of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), on Thursday, staged a peaceful demonstration in Enugu over the alleged intimidation and victimisation by leadership of some industrial unions in the country.
The protesters, who numbered over hundreds, marched through the major streets of Enugu metropolis with placards, chanting solidarity songs.
Some of the placards read: “There is no tribalism in labour union. We opposed disenfranchisement of South-East delegates in NLC election”. We oppose rigging in the NLC election”
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the protest, the chairman of the group, E. O. Osagie said, “We call on the leadership of the NLC to ensure that there is no intimidation in the rescheduled NLC election.”

“We the workers of South-East/South-South zones, sequel to the intimidation, victimisation, harassment and disenfranchisement suffered by delegates from theses zones, in the hands of some leadership of some industrial unions, especially Medical and Health Workers Union of Nigeria and Nigeria Civil Service Union, during the inconclusive NLC delegates conference, wish to call on the leadership of NLC to ensure that workers vote according to their conscience.”
The group warned that any attempt to repeat the ugly incident of what occurred during the inconclusive election, would result to total boycott of the forthcoming NLC election by all delegates from the South-East and South-South zones.

    “Today, Thursday, is another great day in the history of trade union movement when the South-East and South-South labour leaders and workers are strongly demanding that the provisions of our great union’s constitution and regulations should be implemented.”
    He explained that their agitation and position were drawn from the provisions of our union’s constitution and regulations as amended in 2007, wondering why the constitution is not binding to some members of the national leadership of the union.

EX NIGER DELTA MILLITANT COMMANDERS SET UP ELECTION MONITORING GROUPS.

PORT HARCOURT— Former militant commanders in the Niger Delta have set up election monitoring groups ahead of the forth coming general polls. 

In a statement yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, under the aegis of Leadership, Peace and Cultural Development Initiative, president of the forum of ex- militant leaders, Pastor Reuben Wilson, said the various groups would monitor the elections round the country, adding that they will ensure that the electorate were free to vote for candidates of their choice.

The ex-militant leaders, who reaffirmed their support for President Goodluck Jonathan, warned politicians planning to rig the elections to refrain from such act.

He said: “We have a governor boasting that his party will lead civil disobedience if President Jonathan defeats his party in the March 28 presidential election. They are planning to rig. They are planning to use cloned PVCs with the assistance of some Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, officials.

“We have also heard some people saying that we, the Niger Delta freedom fighters, are no more supporting our brother, Jonathan, ahead of the March 28 election. Let them continue to dream. But we wish to inform them that we are aware of their rigging plots and that is why we have decided to form ourselves into monitoring groups to frustrate their agenda.”

MUST READ FOR THOSE THAT MAKES EATING IN A POPULAR RESTAURANT A HUBBY.

Alleged Fast Food Ritualist Apprehended In Imo State.
THE OWNERS OF A FETISH AND DIABOLIC EATERY LOCATED AROUND THE VICINITY OF ALADINMA STUDENT ALLIANCE,MEET THEIR TIMELY AND WELL MERITED RETRIBUTION,
It was a very horrible,absurd and gory sight to behold earlier today,as the owners of a popular eatery around the sphericity of Aladinma student alliance met their well timed waterloo.
Eyewitness recounted that trouble started within the wee hours of the morning,when the vigilante group in charge of security around the alliance caught a woman in possession of blood filled calabash doing some incantation in front of an eatery by name "Sweet Diamond" situated at the heart of the alliance.
When she was accosted,she lied that she was conducting a prayer session and the security guards overlooked her.
She was almost allowed to go scot free,not until suspicion grew and the fetish contents of the calabash was discovered.
She was almost lynched by the irate mob,if not for the confessions she was forced to make.
She made confessions which smeared the self acclaimed Manager of the eatery by name Dubem.
At the long run,Dubem the innocent looking guy was apprehended and thoroughly beaten to the extent that he made confessions that has caused palpable fears,regrets and tension around the vicinity and its adjoining environ.
In the course of the confessions, the angry scrum started digging the entrance to the eatery.
To the greatest shock and dismay of everyone,fetish and diabolical items like;human heart,various sizes of padlocks,black and white handkerchiefs,traces of human blood and various human body parts etc was harvested.
Dubem in his fear gripped,stuttering and incoherent statements,confessed how he uses the menstrual flow of his female workers to cook food.
How he uses large quantities of human feaces to prepare egusi soup,how he uses human blood to prepare stew and so many atrocious acts.
He even confessed how he sleeps with all his female staffs,takes their destiny and compels them to keep a sealed lips.
He further professed how he enchanted his customers and continuously enchants his prospective customers immediately they step their foot inside the eatery.
He also admitted how he generates and controls an influx of customers to his eatery using fetish means.
What da heck?
God please come and witness these man's gross inhumanity against your children.
Yuck!!!!!!!
Taking a look at his blood soiled body and devilish face,one will wonder and ask"what on earth will warrant someone to engage in these soulless acts"?
With the kind of customers he commanded,I can vehemently state that about 80% of residents and visitors of Aladinma and Okwu Uratta have in several ways consumed commodities from that eatery,if not Garri&soup,chicken,provisions,drugs,it must be shawarma or pop corn etc.
I really share in their fears.But they should be unruffled and take solace in the word of God which says that;"the evil that the children of God are ignorant of,won't find them".
But in all,thank God he met his comeuppance in an unlikeliest of ways to the great admiration and relief of people he has kept in captivity.
A little word to all other owners of the various eateries scattered in Imo state who engage in these ungodly aforementioned acts.
My advice is;as a matter of urgency you should all desist from these insensate and heinous activities before a gruesome and well deserved pill is forcefully administered down your blood soaked gullets.
It is said that we don't only fight against flesh and blood,but against principalities,powers and agents of darkness.
These are extreme times,its high time we formulated extreme measures.............
Only God,Carefulness and high level of circumspection are the requisites in these devilish moments..........
THIS IS FOR THOSE WHO EAT OUT ALL THE TIME IN SOME BIG PLACESES.

DOZENS KILLED AS BOKO HARAM GOES ON RAMPAGE IN BORNO STATE.

Suspected Boko Haram fighters have killed dozens of people, including many children, in a massacre in the northeastern Nigeria village of Njaba, security sources and witnesses have said.
The Reuters news agency cited security forces as saying that at least 45 people were killed by members of the armed group in Borno state, while the AFP news agency reported a higher toll of 68 people.
"I participated in the counting of dead bodies. Sixty-eight people were killed," witness Muminu Haruna told AFP after escaping the attack on Tuesday in the remote region.
Children were deliberately targeted for slaughter and most of Njaba was destroyed by fire, Haruna and three others said.
"The attack was not immediately known because the village is very remote and our men couldn't access the area," a military source said told the Reuters news agency.
Njaba is close to the town of Damboa and about 100km south of the state capital Maiduguri.
Northeastern Nigeria has been the centre of Boko Haram's conflict with the government since the rebel group was founded in Maiduguri in 2002.
The military, backed by regional African forces, have in recent months sought to regain territory lost to the fighters.
The government has also postponed national elections by six weeks until March 28 to buy time in its efforts to bring more stability to the troubled region.

SHEKAU CAPTURED AS CHADIAN PRESIDENT DISCLOSES HIS WHEREABOUTS.

President Idriss Deby of Chad told the media during a press conference that the Chad military and government has narrowed down the location of Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.

"He was in Dikwa two days ago. He managed to get away but we know where he is. It's in his interests to surrender," President Deby said during the international press conference.

President Deby added that "‎Abubakar Shekau must surrender. We know where he is. If he doesn't give himself up he will suffer the same fate as his compatriots.”

The Chadian military has been part of a transnational military campaign against the Boko Haram insurgency originating from northeast Nigeria, and has been the target of Boko Haram’s violence in the past.

This news comes as the one year anniversary of the mass abduction of 250 girls from Chibok, Nigeria nears. Boko Haram has been responsible for the death of thousands of people, mostly from Nigeria’s northeastern states of Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe. The threat from Boko Haram was used by Nigeria’s Security Services to postpone Nigeria’s presidential elections.

Neither the Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan or any other government official have commented on President Deby’s statements.

OPEN LETTER FROM MR IBU TO EVIL NIGERIAN POLITICIANS.

419 is when you borrowed 27 million naira for presidential form but your wife donated drugs worth 135 million naira to displaced persons in Yola and your daughter pays up to 10million naira for a school fees in london .

Selfishness is when you refused to bring an idea or help to stop insurgency and say you must get to power before you stop it under two weeks.

GREED is when you ruled Nigeria as a military ruler with autocracy and failed to reduce corruption to the barest minimum even with your guns and bullets, is it in democracy where there are no bullies, gorillas and Hitlers that you can reduce corruption?

A TERRORIST is when you threatened unholy bloodshed “The Monkeys and Baboons will be soaked in blood” and “If you don’t do it, you are in risk of your life”.

A FUNDAMENTALIST is when you say you will continue to show in and outside of you, the total implementation of SHARIA LAW that has been sweeping all over Nigeria.

BASTARDIZATION OF ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Is when Doctors of Philosophy, Master Degree holders, Degree holders, HND and OND holders in Nigeria support an Everlasting illiterate as a Leader.

CRIMINOLOGY, Is when you are the only person in the universe that supported Abacha, that he stole no money from Nigerian purse, even when the whole world condemned him of embezzlement.

EVIL AGENDA, Is when the federal government declared a state of emergency, you as a state governor told the pupils to continue going to school until they were been kidnapped.

HYPOCRISY Is when you went to CHATHAM HOUSE in London and told them that war against EBOLA was won by APC governors instead of FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
