Lamido, Aliyu,Baraje and Co.... shall be treated as criminals –Tukur

 

In what appears as its resolve for a showdown with the Kawu Baraje faction of the party, the PDP National Working Committee has declared that it would henceforth treat the parallel national working committee of the party and those fraternising with it as criminals usurping the functions of a duly constituted executive.

 “Henceforth, the leadership of the PDP will no longer tolerate or condone any meeting, utterances, press statements and/or activities whatsoever under the name, flag and colour of the PDP by any unauthorised person or group(s) under any guise”.

Tukur in the statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, further noted that its reconciliatory stance has been taken as a sign of weakness and it would no longer tolerate disobedience to constituted authority.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the ruling of the court in this regard is absolutely clear, direct and unambiguous.
The PDP has only one duly elected National Executive Committee under the National Chairmanship of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur.”

A bout time,enough is enough.....

Australian Candidate Who Thought Islam Was “A Country” Withdraws From Elections

An Australian election candidate who was widely mocked after she mistook Islam for a country in a TV interview has withdrawn her candidacy.
Stephanie Banister, 27, was contesting a seat in Queensland for the anti-immigration One Nation Party. She had only been in politics for 48 hours.
She announced her withdrawal from the election on Saturday.
“With the way Channel Seven edited my interview, I was left quite the fool,” Ms Banister said in a brief statement.
Ms Banister also confused the term “haram” (forbidden) with the Koran and suggested Jews worshipped Jesus Christ.
”I don’t oppose Islam as a country, umm, but I do feel that their laws should not be welcome here in Australia,” Ms Banister had told Seven News reporter Erin Edwards.

BE INSPIRED.........IT IS WELL.

Life Still Has A Meaning

If there is a future there is time for mending-
Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-
If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-
When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.

Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-
If there is time for praying there is time for healing.

So if through your window there is a new day breaking-
Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,

If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-
There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning.

International flights gradually resume after blaze at Nairobi airport

International flights gradually resumed at Kenya's main airport Thursday after a blaze sent orange flames shooting in the air and brought East Africa's largest aviation hub to a standstill.There were no reports of casualties in the Wednesday blaze at Nairobi's Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

A day after the fire started, airport officials said they have set up tents to temporarily service the international area.Several flights, including from London, Thailand and Uganda, landed at the airport as it slowly came back to life, airport authorities said. 

Other international flights took off from the airport, including to South Sudan and South Africa, the Kenya Airports Authority tweeted. It also reported departures and arrivals of local flights.

The blaze destroyed large parts of the international terminal, leaving the arrivals section in charred ruins and strewn with debris. Chunks of corrugated metal hung from the roof after it caved in.

Tragic but over now/

Nigeria police officer sacked over YouTube video

A Nigerian policeman has been sacked after being caught on film apparently trying to extort $150 (£100) from a motorist accused of a traffic offence.The footage - secretly filmed on a Lagos highway - received thousands of hits on YouTube and has been replayed on Nigerian television channels. 

In the film, Sgt Chris Omeleze suggests he is part of a wider corrupt network.But Nigeria's central police command insists otherwise. They sacked him less than a day after the video emerged.

Correspondents say being asked for money by traffic police for real or imagined traffic offences is a common experience for many Nigerians.It is much rarer for perpetrators to be caught and penalised. 'Reasonable' sum
The film - which has received more than 123,000 hits on YouTube - shows Sgt Omeleze inside the car trying to negotiate a bribe with the driver.

It happens all over the world, Nigeria shouldn't be made an exception.

Zimbabwe Electoral Commission: 305,000 voters turned away

Zimbabwe's Electoral Commission has said that nearly 305,000 voters were turned away during last week's elections, which the opposition has said were rigged.These are the first such official figures - the number of rejected voters has been a major complaint.

It also said 207,000 voters were "assisted" to cast their ballot - another alleged source of fraud.
President Robert Mugabe gained 938,085 more votes than his main rival.Morgan Tsvangirai, who took 34% of the vote, has alleged massive fraud.

His Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) party is planning to file court applications on Friday against the results of the presidential and parliamentary votes.

Mr Mugabe, 89, won with 61% of the presidential vote and his Zanu-PF gained a two-thirds majority in parliament, with 160 seats compared to 49 for the MDC.

Footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips avoids prison for driving offence, claiming he didn't know he was banned..

Millionaire footballer Shaun Wright-Phillips avoided jail yesterday for driving while banned because he was 'blissfully unaware' his licence had been revoked.
The former England star told ­Uxbridge Magistrates' Court he was unaware he should not have been on the road, and claimed he had not seen the legal papers banning him from driving because they had been sent to his agent's address.

The winger, who plays for QPR, had missed a string of court summons after his £200,000 Bentley was clocked doing 79mph on a 50mph stretch at Esher in Surrey, on March 28 last year.

The 31-year-old's luxury car was registered at his agent's address in Luton, Bedfordshire, which is where the important document informing him about his disqualification, was sent.

Several reminders were issued, including one to the former Manchester City and Chelsea star's home in Surrey, but Wright-Phillips claimed in court yesterday he had not seen any of them.

He was finally banned from driving in his absence in December.
Then, on January 21 this year, Met Police officers arrested Wright-Phillips at QPR's training ground in Harlington, West London, after spotting his insurance had been invalidated during a routine check.

Pope Francis: Gays 'Should Not Be Shunned'

Pope Francis has made some of the most conciliatory remarks of any pontiff on gays, saying he did not judge homosexuals who "seek the Lord".He told reporters people should not be marginalised because of their sexual orientation - but he reaffirmed the Church's position that homosexual acts are a sin and said its opposition to gay marriage was clear.

The Pope, who was speaking on a flight back to Rome from his week-long visit to Brazil, also hit out at those who campaign on behalf of gays."The problem is not having this orientation, it is lobbying," he said. "That's the most serious problem I think.

"If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?"
The Pope has previously referred to a "gay lobby" in the Vatican's secretive administration.
He made his latest comments as he fielded questions about Battista Ricca, who was appointed to a key role at the Vatican bank and is now facing allegations that he had relationships with male prostitutes.

what the heck is going on in our churches??????

UK Visa £3,000 Bond: Nigerians Must Pay Or Forget London.

 


Irrespective of the outcry against its £3,000 visa bond by Nigerians, Britain will commence the scheme in the six listed Commonwealth countries as scheduled, the Home Office has said.

The Commonwealth countries to be affected by the policy which was announced in June are Nigeria, India, Kenya, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The affected countries are considered to be source of “high risk” tourists to the UK.

The Federal Government, through Foreign Affairs minister, Olugbenga Ashiru, in June expressed “the strong displeasure of the government and people of Nigeria” over the “discriminatory” policy.

Its time for action from Nigerian Government and less talk.

Aswad Ayinde sentenced to 90 Years imprisonment, Raped and Impregnated own daughthers.

 


An award-winning music director, who fathered several children with his own biological daughters, was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Aswad Ayinde, of Paterson, New Jersey, was sentenced on Friday after being found guilty in the second of five expected trials in which he is accused of repeatedly raping his six daughters, resulting in six children being fathered.

 During his sentencing for his second conviction, Ayinde, who directed the Fugees 1996 hit song “Killing Me Softly,” tried to hide his face in a stack of legal papers, but the judge ordered him to remove them so he could face one of his daughter s who spoke at the sentencing.


“I can’t describe how much you hurt me and my sisters,” Ayinde’s daughter, now 35, said to her father who was shackled in a prison jumpsuit with his head bowed. As the woman, who was repeatedly raped by her father from the age of eight, tried to describe to Ayinde the suffering he caused her and her sibling, Ayinde turned to her and said: “You should’ve told the truth instead of lying.”

Judge Raymond Reddin then interrupted Ayinde and told him that not only did he believe the evidence that were presented in his courtroom, but so did the 12 jurors who found him guilty.During his trial, Ayinde’s ex-wife testified that he was trying to create a “pure family bloodline” by impregnating his daughters.

Mentally deranged man, may God forgive him.
