US Marines spotted in Borno

This what I call action speaks louder than words. The benefits of recruitment based on merit. Nigeria as a country, is still joking. God help us to start getting it right.

Charles Novia also feels the Chibok Abduction may be exaggerated

 Ok! 3 weeks after the abduction, people have started asking questions ,some doubting the abduction or some parts of it mainly because of conflicting statements after the kidnap
 Earlier Gov Godswill Akpabio said

"I don't have the details but there are a lot of mysteries surrounding this situation. Two hundred and thirty something girls, for you to take them out of the school, you need a lot of vehicles.What were the security agents in that area doing? What was the reaction of the school principal? And how come the principal's daughters were not abducted? The female teachers were not touched?"

Northen CAN also raised these points in their press release

How did Boko Haram carry over 200 students and their food stolen by these criminals from the school? Was it carried with trailer?
Why is it that since this issue came up, no single photograph of the abducted children was made public by the school authorities? After all, they were preparing for exams and may have submitted their photographs.
Where were the daughters of the Principal, Vice Principal and Chief Security Officer when the abduction took place?

Meanwhile the fight is still on...

EFCC arrests Abuja socialite who gave RCCG N60m 'Tithe'

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested a popular Abuja socialite who is also a top official of the Nigerian Prisons Service, Dr (Mrs) Imaobong Akon Esu-Nte. 

Saharareporters report that the suspect, a Grade Level 14 Officer with the Federal Ministry of Finance seconded to the Nigerian Prison Service as Head, Capital Accounts, was picked up Tuesday May 6 by operatives of the anti graft agency. And for several hours, she was grilled by investigators over allegations bordering on corruption, abuse of office and money laundering.

EFCC officials said they received tip-off regarding the suspect’s lifestyle which was inconsistent with
her position as a public servant on a monthly salary of N121, 460 ($751). The suspect owns several exotic cars and properties scattered over the (Federal Capital Territory) Abuja. 

Among her properties is:

•  a palatial mansion,
• a duplex with two-bedroom Boys Quarters at Sun City Estate, Abuja and
• another duplex at Karu Extension, Abuja, which is nearing completion.

Three luxury automobiles were recovered from her at the time of arrest. They include:

• a Mercedes Benz ML 350 4matic wagon,
• Mercedes Benz GL 500 SUV and
• a Toyota Sienna.

EFCC sources said Imaobong's arrest was triggered by intelligence report on suspicious inflow of huge funds into her account with a new generation bank. Close scrutiny of the account by investigators literally opened a can of worms, as it came to light that the suspect is the promoter and signatory to the accounts of three companies: 

• Abasiaga Global Resources Limited,
• Abasiono Nigeria Limited and
• Ememima Global Ventures Limited, the companies were established after she was posted to the Nigerian Prison Service and all the directors are her children (Dr. Etsu Daniel, Eme Faith and Uwen David).

She is also the owner of two other companies- Darima Properties and ID Petroleum

Sources revealed that several cash and cheque deposit into the accounts of these companies and the personal account of Imaobong in Zenith and Access bank could not be justified. The accounts of her companies are said to have recorded an inflow of not less than N200million between 2009 and now.

Another startling discovery by investigators for which the suspect has failed to provide an explanation, is the nearly N60million she paid in various tranches into the account of Redeem Christian Church of God, a prominent pentecostal church in Karu, a suburb of Abuja. 
An EFCC investigator told SaharaReporters:

There are instances in which she paid N5m, N7m and N6m into the church’s account. Obviously this cannot be tithe. She must explain the source of the funds and the purpose for which the payments were made”

Equally shocking, is the discovery of five names that consistently (on monthly basis) paid money into the private accounts of Imaobong at Zenith and Access bank since she arrived at the Nigerian Prisons Service as Head, Capital Accounts.

At press time, the socialite was still facing interrogators, unable to explain her sudden wealth. Sources informed SaharaReporters that she told her interrogators that she made her money doing contracts, contrary to provisions of the public service rule that forbids a serving officer to establish companies or prospect for contracts.

Spokesman of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren while confirming the arrest warned public officers engaged in corrupt practices to desist or risk the wrath of the law. He said the agency was determined to ensure that officers who abuse their positions for self enrichment are brought to book.
He equally pleaded with the members of the public to stop celebrating corruption by asking questions when it is obvious that the lifestyle of certain persons can not be supported by their known sources of income.

UNILAG student tackles NIPOST over missing 'engagement' ring

Frontage of UNILAG Post Office building
A  final year student of the Department of Botany in the University of Lagos, Olayemi Victoria, has accused the Nigeria Postal Service of taking her engagement diamond ring sent by her fiancé from the United States of America.


Victoria also discovered that a BlackBerry Z10, valued $500, which came with the package, had been stolen. She claimed that when she opened the pack, she only found a PlayStation, chocolate bar and a magazine.
She said, “My fiancé who lives in the USA, sent me a package consisting of a diamond ring, BlackBerry Z10, PS, chocolate bar and magazine.

“He could have used DHL, but I told him not to worry that I would get it through NIPOST because it was not my first time of using the service. He sent it in March, this year.
“I went to the UNILAG post office last week Monday when I was told the package had finally arrived. But on getting there, I discovered the package had been tampered with and the diamond ring and BlackBerry Z10 were not there.”

She said the manager of the UNILAG office told her the package was received that way, and nothing could be done about it.

Punch reports that Victoria alerted the institution’s security men to the incident in the hope of getting her ring and BlackBerry back. This, however, did not work.

It was learnt that an official of the post office threatened to beat her up after she became more insistent on recovering the missing items.

Victoria told PUNCH Metro that she grew increasingly frustrated and reported the matter at the Sabo Police Station. However, the policemen at the station took her statement and demanded N5, 000 before going with her to investigate the case.

Victoria’s fiance, Gbolahan Ijimayowa, who is based in Dallas, USA, said he had instructed his fiancée to go to the police station after speaking with the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba.
Ijimayowa expressed disappointment at the way the police handled the matter, alleging that the package was tampered with at the UNILAG post office.

Ijimayowa, a registered nurse, in a telephone interview with Punch said, “I sent the package on March 11, 2014 through the United States Postal Service.
“I gave my fiancée the tracking number of the package so she could monitor it. I told her to keep checking at the post office, because I knew it could take up to four weeks before it would be delivered. But when the package finally arrived, they didn’t inform her.
“It was after two weeks that she was called by the UNILAG branch. I sent her the diamond engagement ring because we are planning our wedding soon. We have already had our introduction and engagement; then the BlackBerry Z10, and the PS, which is for my cousin. But the ring and BB were missing.
“I called Frank Mba, who said she should see policemen at Sabo, but those ones demanded N5,000 from her.”
Ijimayowa said if indeed the package was tampered with as claimed, there was supposed to be a documentation to that effect which could not be tendered by NIPOST.
“This is the way we spoil this country. I am sure the ring and BB were taken in the UNILAG office of NIPOST. They should be quizzed by the authorities. They should not be allowed to go scot-free. We need to have those things back,” he added.

World's Oldest Prostitutes reveal how to keep a man satisfied

The world's oldest prostitutes Louise and Martine Fokkens both 71 have slept with 355,000 men
The sisters, who are famous for their trademark matching red clothes, first turned to prostitution aged 20 after escaping violent relationships.

Now the pair, who retired last year, have revealed the secrets of keeping your man happy - both in bed and out - in an exclusive interview with MailOnline.Louise a mother of four said

We were young and we made jokes and had respect for men.What I've learned about men is that when they [men] drink, it's not good, 'I have also learned that people need prostitutes - it is normal and we should respect it.'Men are born this way [in need of sex]. There isn't a problem and it makes me mad when people don't have respect for what we do.'Every man wants something different and that's the real game - finding out what they want.'What about men who cheat on their wives with prostitutes or other women? 

They want to be free.Their wives won't have sex with them even if they love them.'If you really want to meet a man and keep him, you need to be yourself.Always be yourself. This is what we learned when we were little and it's true. But also you must have respect for other people and listen to other people.' We have to keep busy because we have no pension, as most people our age do. We still do see a few of our old clients, we meet them for either a tea or a coffee... or at the bar"

What Soyinka said about B'Haram, GEJ & Patience Jonathan during his interview with CNN's Amanpour

Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka had a frank interview with Amanpour on CNN yesterday and he had a lot to say!

 

On Boko Haram and Goodluck Jonathan,“This is a government which is not only in denial mentally, but in denial about certain obvious steps to take... It’s one of those rather child-like situations that if you shut your eyes, if you don’t exhibit the tactile evidence of the missing humanity here, that somehow the problem will go away.” 
On the dramatic display of Patience Jonathan on tv (where she cried et al)"Please, I do not want to say anything about that woman who calls herself the First Lady of Nigeria. No, I wont."

 

When asked him if he believes that President Jonathan is in denial “It’s not only he. It’s the advisers around him. It’s a certain section of the nation, some of whom enjoy for various reasons a nation in a state of chaos. They profit by it, and in fact some of them are guilty of provoking the situation. The person who has no excuse is the president of the nation.It is not just a Nigerian problem. I’m calling for the international community, the United Nations – this is a problem. This is a global problem."
