Election will be Tough In 2015, We Want to Take Over – Buhari

Ex-Military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari has predicted that next year’s general elections will be tough and urged all APC members to collect their voters’ card and hold on to them.

He called on Nigerians not to vote for treasury looters in 2015, saying provision of free amenities is possible. He rolled out the party’s package for Nigerians; improved infrastructure, water, electricity and improved education system for Nigerians, under a new government run by the APC.

In Buhari’s words: “The next five months will be very tough, because we want to take over the government, from Councillorship to Presidency.

“Next election is going to be different and next year is going to be tough because APC is ready for change in Nigeria. We will stop corruption; no more will anybody put government money into private pockets.”

Meanwhile, the All Progressives congress, APC, has said “Nigeria is terribly asleep and is having a serious nightmare,” and will continue to experience such as long as the ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, remained at the helms of affairs.

National Chairman of the APC, John Odigie-Oyegun, who stated this at Lokoja Township Stadium, Kogi State, during the formal reception of Kogi PDP decampees into the party on Tuesday, said “PDP is giving Nigeria a bad dream.”

The former governor of Edo State, however, said there “is hope for Nigeria if Nigerians wake up fast and vote for APC which is becoming the fastest growing party in Nigeria, and has come to remedy the ills meted on the country.”

Addressing the crowd, he said, “APC is growing so fast. Many of you know I have been here three times in the past and I tell you this is the greatest crowd I have seen.

“The PDP is finished anyway. Have we forgotten the N20 billion? Have we forgotten the N225 million armoured tank? Can we forget the $9.3million? Can we forget Boko Haram? And, look at it here in Kogi State, look at the very stadium we are standing, where the government cannot fix its roofs.

“But, I want to tell you that as soon as APC comes into power, we will change all these for the better.”

Panic in Liberian Villages as Dead Ebola victims reportedly " rise from the dead"

Two female victims who passed on, after contracting the deadly Ebola virus, allegedly resurrected in one of the villages in Liberia today, UK Mirror reports.

The victims, both females in their 40s and 60s, died of the deadly virus in separate communities in Nimba County, Liberia.

But according to reports in a local newspaper, the women have been resurrected and are now walking among the living, causing panic and fear among locals.


The New Dawn Nimba County said the late Dorris Quoi of Hope Village Community and the second victim identified as Ma Kebeh, in her late 60s, were about to be taken for burial when they rose from the dead.

Ma Kebeh had been indoors for two nights without food and medication before her alleged death.

Nimba County has recently reported unusual news of Ebola cases, including one about a native doctor from the county, who claimed that he could cure infected victims, dying of the virus himself last week.

Since the Ebola outbreak in Nimba County, this is the first incident of dead victims resurrecting, the paper said

Why T.B Joshua Should be arrested and Prosecuted

It is time the authorities in Nigeria did the right thing and arrest Mr. Temitope Balogun Joshua, the self-styled General Overseer of The Synagogue, Church of All Nations. Here is why:

On Friday, September 12, 2014, a guest hostel located within the premises of Joshua’s sprawling church at Ikotun-Egbe, Lagos, collapsed. The most recent media reports put the death toll from the calamity at 115. So far, rescuers have pulled out more than a hundred survivors from the rubble. Because Joshua’s church has always drawn an international audience, the continental profile of the list of victims is hardly surprising. For instance, at least 84 South Africans have been confirmed dead. There are also Nigerians and citizens of other African (and possible non-African) countries among the dead.

Joshua has done everything humanly possible to cover up the truth about this tragedy. First, in the first three days after the incident, he illegally barred officials of the National Emergency Management Authority from accessing the site and rescuing survivors. Second, while this illegal interdiction was in effect, Joshua attempted to dictate the narrative and deflect possible culpability by blaming the incident on a mysterious “small plane” which had purportedly hovered above his church complex moments before the collapse. Claiming that he and not his church building was the target of the alleged attack, he even released an “exclusive” footage of the “strange” plane. Third, as public anger mounted in South Africa, Joshua declared the dead “martyrs of faith” and sought to change the subject by promising to “take his teachings” to the country every month for the foreseeable future. Fourth, an audio recording has just emerged of Joshua paying a gathering of journalists N50, 000 each in exchange for suppressing the truth and privileging his version of events. The recording, whose authenticity has not been challenged, was released by Nicholas Ibekwe, a correspondent with an online news medium who was present at the meeting.

Joshua obviously recognises that the version of events he is seeking to promote is implausible, hence his latest attempt to manipulate public opinion by inducing journalists.

He should not be allowed to get away with it. His entire conduct since the tragic news broke has been that of a man who feels that he is accountable to no one, and who is too preoccupied with his image as a “man of God” to worry about the many victims of this tragic incident, whether injured or dead. His attempts to somehow portray a collapse that most probably has to do with failure to comply with building regulations as a personal attack is an example of his self-promotion and is nothing short of callous.

Yet, if Joshua has comported himself as one above the law, it is precisely because the Nigerian state has offered him every licence. In this wise, neither President Goodluck Jonathan nor Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has covered himself in glory. The President’s visit to the scene of the collapse in which he commiserated with Joshua was painful to watch. Why would the Nigerian President visit and express solidarity with the leader of a church who should be a person of interest in an ongoing police investigation? And is this the same President who does not know the way to Chibok where over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by the Boko Haram insurgents? Whatever his motive, Jonathan strengthened Joshua’s arm, gave him the assurance of presidential protection, and threw police investigations in jeopardy. In the same vein, the cloak and dagger nature of the meeting between Governor Fashola and Joshua can only have comforted the latter. Nigerians deserve to know what transpired during their meeting, and whatever assurances, if any, Fashola gave Joshua. That said, Fashola is putting at risk his own hard-earned reputation for transparency and legality. Simply put, should visits have taken place, they should have been to the hospitals where the injured are being treated and the homes of the deceased. The site should have been barricaded by the relevant authorities—the police, town planning, etc.— to secure evidence, given that the presumption ought to be that even if it is not immediately clear that a crime has been committed, something definitely has been remiss in the entire tragedy. Getting to the root of the matter should be the only concern next to solicitations for the welfare of the survivors.

We cannot resurrect the dead – we leave that to Joshua, who claims to have such powers – but it is a duty we owe to their memory that the truth of this matter is not buried with them. Therefore, it is important that the police and other investigative agencies be given the necessary backing (both financial and moral) in order to carry out their duties. Joshua is a person of interest, not for his callousness, but for his cynical and persistent attempts to obliterate the truth and pervert the course of justice.

The police should arrest him. Today. At a minimum, he should be declared a person of interest regarding a crime scene and be invited for a “chat”.

Girl Freed by Boko Haram 4months Pregnant

The abducted “Chibok girl” released on Wednesday is “pregnant and mentally ill,” the National Chairman of Chibok Community Development Association, Dr. Pogu Bitrus, has told TheCable.

Earlier on Thursday, the police revealed that the 20-year-old girl was abandoned by suspected terrorists at Mubi in Adamawa State, from where she was picked up. It also confirmed that she was one of the female pupils of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, abducted in April by Boko Haram.

However, Bitrus said it was still uncertain if the girl was from Chibok because her name did not correspond with any of the names in the records of the girls that were captured by Boko Haram on April 14.

“I was speaking Kibaku to her, but she did not respond; she was incoherent. She may be having mental issues as a result of trauma,” he said.

Bitrus added that preliminary tests – still not definitive – indicated that the girl is pregnant.

He added, “When she was picked up, she was taken to a clinic, not a standard hospital, and tests were carried out on her.

“From the tests, it was said she is pregnant, but that is still in the speculative domain because a qualified medical doctor has not confirmed that she is pregnant.

“However, we are still trying to establish if really she is from Chibok, because from our sources, the last name of the released girl does not tally with the surname of the person bearing the first name of the released girl captured in our records and whose father is a carpenter at Chibok. So, we are still trying to work out every detail.”

Alleged release Story of Chibok Girls Untrue-Defense Minister

The spokesperson for the defence headquarters, Chris Olukolade, had told Premium Times that a yet unclear number of the girls had been freed and driven in two Toyota Hiace buses to the Maimalari Barracks, the headquarters of the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri. But less than 30 minutes after he spoke to us, Mr. Olukolade called back to say he was withdrawing his earlier statement.

He said he had been having difficulty establishing contact with his colleagues in Maiduguri and that he was no longer sure that the girls driven into the barracks were newly rescued.

Premium Times has also learnt that the girls driven into the Maimalari barracks were those who escaped earlier from the Boko Haram sect. The over 200 girls, mostly teenagers, were kidnapped from their secondary school in Chibok, Borno State, on April 14. With the military withdrawing its statement, it now does appear the girls are still in captivity.

'Her condition is so rare, it doesn't even have a NAME': Heartbreak of mother whose daughter suffers from uncontrollable vomiting and could die before she turns six

When Ava Galley, now four, from Cheshire, was born, her mother Nichola, 35, just had enough time to glimpse a pair of eyes and a tiny nose before her new daughter was whisked away by nurses.

By the time she next saw her daughter, she was in the midst of a tangle of wires as doctors frantically tried to work out what was wrong with the tiny baby and find a solution for her continual vomiting.

But more than four years on, Nichola and the doctors are no wiser and while they have managed to fix Ava's heart problems, precisely what sort of genetic disorder she suffers from remains unknown.
'It was like a punch in the stomach because we'd been given the all-clear from the amnio test,' says Nichola of the moment she discovered that her tiny baby wasn't the healthy daughter she had hoped for.
The pregnancy had been tortuous but we just thought she was going to be a very small baby. We were in the recovery room and laughing and joking when the doctor came in.

'The way the news was delivered to us… he walked into the room with a nurse and delivered it so abruptly - even the nurse was shocked.'

Convinced Ava wouldn't survive, doctors tried to prepare a devastated Nichola and her husband Paul for the worst but, much to the surprise of medics, the little girl clung on.

Initially, the biggest challenge was working out how to feed her: with Ava unable to suck and prone to vomiting whenever she was given milk.

'She was poorly and it turned out that every time they fed her, they were drowning her because the milk was going straight to the chest, straight to the lungs,' remembers Nichola.

'It was a good four months before we got her home and she has spent pretty much the first three years of her life were in hospital. This summer is the first that she hasn’t been in and out all the time.'

Despite her improving condition, Ava who suffers from microcephaly [an unusually small skull] in addition to the genetic disorder, is still unable to walk unaided, talk or feed herself.

She also continues to vomit uncontrollably, which means she regularly suffers from chest infections and needs a special bed, a feeding pump and round-the-clock care from her mother who has been forced to give up a promising career to care for her.

'She still vomits and I never know quite how much food to give her or whether her body is going to tolerate that feed,' explains Nichola

Exposing the CBN Boko Haram Sponsor

WHEN the Australian negotiator, Dr Stephen Davis, alleged that an unnamed top official of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was among the sponsors of the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria many people took his words with a pinch of salt as he had also named a former Chief of Army Staff, retired Lt Gen Azubuike Ihejirika, and former Governor Ali Modu

Nigeria’s Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has added his voice to this allegation, affirming that his own independent inquiries showed that the same individual is indeed culpable. He went on to say that the name of the person has been made available to the highest authority in the land.

The question on the lips of Nigerians is: who is this person? What is so special about him that he cannot even be named? Why can’t he be brought out for the public to see the person who has helped in sending thousands of Nigerians to their early graves while the nation is faced with the greatest threat to her unity since the Nigerian civil war nearly fifty years ago? Why has the CBN remained mute about this issue, since its name is being dragged to the mud? Why hasn’t the CBN seen it fit to tell Nigerians what it knows about this matter?

Happily, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), a social crusader organisation, has taken up the gauntlet and given the CBN a fourteen-day ultimatum, based on the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act. SERAP demands information about the persons involved in the money laundering and sponsorship of Boko Haram sect. A statement from the group said the CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, is required to explain the exact nature of any such transactions.

We commend SERAP for wading into this matter clinging to the force of the FOIA. We are waiting patiently to see how the CBN under a new manager, Emefiele, will respond to this challenge. It will be a major metric for measuring the seriousness he attaches to his work and the need to keep the Bank clean of scandals.
We are greatly worried that the Presidency and the security agencies have chosen to keep the Nigerian public in the dark about the truth or otherwise of this individual’s involvement.

Although the very thought that an individual in the top echelon of Nigeria’s ultimate Bank and regulator of the financial system will become a bankroller of our enemy, yet it is only such a high level conspiracy that can make Boko Haram to grow into the monster it has become.
When this fellow is identified, tried and convicted, we will expect him to face the full wrath of the law.

Building Collapse: T.B Joshua Tried to Bribe US - TV Crew

As Nigerian authorities investigate the cause of a building collapse in which 67 South Africans died in Lagos, a local author has described the Synagogue Church of all Nations and “Prophet” TB Joshua as one of Africa’s most influential men, who tried to bribe him during an interview. The collapse occurred on Friday when three extra stories were being added to the existing two of a guest house of the church compound, where visitors from abroad flock to stay.

So far, 80 people have been confirmed dead. In a shock announcement on Tuesday night, President Jacob Zuma disclosed that 67 South Africans had died in the tragedy. The Lagos Pentacostal church attracts a global following of Christians who believe Joshua is able to perform miracles including curing the ill and raising the dead from the grave. There are mounting calls for someone to be held responsible for the deaths and all eyes are now on Joshua.

But the charismatic preacher insists the collapse was the result of a planned attack on him. Jacques Pauw, author of Profit of Doom, an expose on Joshua’s church, says the preacher tried to bribe his entire television crew. “He obviously realised that it was going to be bad publicity for him and then he handed an envelope full of $100 notes to me and the sound person. We told him we couldn’t accept it and he said it was a gift from God.”

The regular influx of visitors from abroad for the church’s services, which can last up to a week, creates demand for accommodation that the church’s own guest house has been unable to meet, and often spills over into local hotels. Several African leaders have traveled to Nigeria to meet with spiritual “healer” Joshua, including former Malawian President Joyce Banda and Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema

12 Nigerian Soldiers sentenced to Death

A military court sitting in Abuja on Monday found 13 out of the 18 soldiers standing trial for mutiny and other offences guilty.

Twelve of the convicted soldiers were sentenced to death, five were discharged and acquitted while the remaining one was jailed for 28 days with hard labour.

The soldiers had on May 14, 2014 fired shots at the General Officer Commanding the newly created 7 Division of Nigerian Army, Maj. Gen. Ahmed Mohammmed, in Maiduguri.

The act is viewed in the military as mutiny.

Those discharged are David Robert, Mohammed Sani, Iseh Ubong, Sebastine Gwaba and Naaman Samuel.

Jeremiah Echocho was sentenced to 28 days with hard labour.

Those who were sentenced to death are Jasper Braidolor, David Musa, Friday Onuh, Yusuf Shuaibu, Igonmu Emmanuel, Andrew Ugbede, Nurudeen Ahmed, Ifeanyi Alukagba, Alao Samuel, Amadi Chukwuma, Alan Linus, and Stephen Clement.

They were found guilty of criminal conspiracy, mutiny, attempt to commit murder (shooting of the vehicle of the GOC); insubordination to a particular order; insubordination and false accusation.

The President of the Court Martial, Maj. Gen. C.C. Okonkwo, said the 12 soldiers were found guilty of three of the most heinous charges bars.

The legal team of the convicts pleaded with the court martial to temper justice with mercy.

The team reeled out pathetic stories about the family backgrounds of the convicted servicemen.

One was said to be the only son of his octogenarian widowed mother.

Another is the father of a five-month-old baby.

The defence team argued that giving them maximum sentence would do more harm than good, adding that it would increase the agony of their dependants.

The attack on the GOC and his men reportedly occurred when they visited the cantonment.



The Maimalari Cantonment is the headquarters of 7 Division, the newest Division of the Nigerian Army.

Military sources said that soldiers at the cantonment had been complaining of insufficient ammunition, food and allowances prior to the GOC’s visit.

They were also reportedly unhappy and their morale was at its lowest ebb because there had not been troop rotation for a long time since their deployment to combat Boko Haram terrorists in the North- East.

“The GOC’s visit coincided with the arrival of the corpses of soldiers killed in an ambush in Chibok on the night of May 13, 2014.

“The apparently agitated soldiers, on sighting the corpses of their slain colleagues became hysteric. Some opened fire on the GOC, who was lucky to have escaped unhurt. However, the bullets hit and seriously injured some of his bodyguards, who also fled to safety,” the source said.

Man Electrocuted while Trying to Steal Cables

Residents of the Lonlo area along Iju- Ishaga Road, Lagos woke up on Monday to find a man who had been electrocuted by a transformer belonging to the Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company.



PUNCH Metro learnt that the man, whose names had yet to be known, was electrocuted while he was allegedly trying to remove transformer cables.

He was accused of being a vandal who wanted to steal some cables from the transformer.

A resident, who craved anonymity, told PUNCH Metro that the man might have come in the night to steal the cables.

She said, “The man is not known here. He might have sneaked to this area at night. It was when we woke up that we found him electrocuted on that spot. The power supply might have been restored while he was in the act. We are still waiting for the government officials to evacuate his body.”

While the crowds gathered at the scene, some policemen and officials of the electricity distribution company arrived and said the man wanted to steal an item from the transformer and was electrocuted in the process.

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, could not be reached for comment.

Unbelievable! ! A woman with half her brain MISSING still managed to live almost a normal life

A Chinese woman has lived to the age of 24 with part of her brain missing, before the extremely rare condition was detected.

Doctors at the Chinese PLA General Hospital of Jinan Military Area Command in the Shandong Province made the discovery when the woman visited medics complaining of nausea and dizziness. 

Scans revealed the woman had been born with a cerebellum - the part of the brain responsible for posture, balance, motor learning like kicking a ball, and speech. 

It is located at the base of the skull and contains around half the neurons - cells that transmit information - in the brain, and represents around 10 per cent of the brain's mass. 
It emerged the woman had experienced problems, not learning to talk until she was six and failing to walk until she was seven.  

While it is not unknown for a person to lose partial function of the cerebellum due to an injury or disease, completely lacking the region in the first place is extremely rare.

Physicians believe the woman is only the ninth known case of a living person suffering the condition cerebellar agenesis. 
Doctors learned the woman had never played or jumped like other children her age, and is unable to walk steadily without support

Tests revealed she had no problem understanding words but living without a cerebellum meant she had difficulties with pronunciation.

Her voice trembles, her words are slurred and the doctors treating the 24-year-old described her voice tone as 'harsh'.

Specialists discovered the space where the cerebellum should be was empty. 

Instead, the black space was filled with cerebrospinal fluid, which cushions the brain, providing defence against disease. 
Doctors treated her with a dehydration treatment to remove some of the water pressure building up in her brain.  

Mario Manto, who researches cerebellar disorders at the Free University of Brussels in Belgium, told the New Scientist: 'These rare cases are interesting to understand how the brain circuitry works and compensates for missing parts.'

The doctors looking after the patient, said they believe the normal cerebellar function may have been taken over by the cortex.  

At a follow-up appointment four years later she was showing signs of doing well, it was reported in the journal Brain. 

The woman married, and gave birth to a daughter with no neurological abnormalities. 

While the majority of people born with the rare condition will die in infancy, the patient represents a new opportunity to study the effects of living without the cerebellum

Twist of Fate:Woman who bought stolen car for N25,000 arrested on day her son gets American Visa

The joy of Mrs. Caroline Akinlosotu knew no bound few days ago when her fourth child returned to their house in Ondo town, headquarters of Ondo State, smiling with a Nigerian passport that has two years American visa on it.

To the lucky Mrs. Akinlosotu, a widow with four sons, it was indeed a great joy since her last son will soon join two of his elder brothers who are presently living in the United States, and she would have three sons in America earning dollars to uplift the standard of living of the family.
But unfortunately, the joy was cut short few hours later when a team of anti-robbery squad from the state police command broke into the home of the Akinlosotus and abruptly put an end to their joyful mood.

The maternal head of the family, Caroline Akinlosotu and her third son were arrested for receiving both stolen vehicles and motorcycles from a fleeing suspect identified simply as “Labuta”.

The case against Mrs. Akinlosotu was that on the 3rd of September, 2014 at about 08:30hs, information had it that one Nissan Primera, black in colour, with registration number AGL-582 AV was abandoned by unknown persons somewhere around Ijimekun street, Ondo town, which was suspected to have been stolen by men of the underworld.

On the receipt of the information, a team of detectives from Yaba Division, Ondo were deployed on surveillance around the street where the vehicle was parked. At about 1500hs of same date, the said stolen vehicle was found dismantlement into parts for easy transportation to where it would be sold to customers by one Oyekachi Anya of No. 10 Ebido street, Ondo.
It was police investigation into the criminal act that further linked Mrs. Akinlosotu to the matter. It was said that she allegedly received both stolen vehicles and motorcycles. Others arrested in connection with the crime included one Gbemisola Adeyefa and Nike Bolodeoku.

Speaking with DailyPost when the suspects were paraded on Monday at the State Police command headquarters, along Igbatoro, Akure, Mrs. Akinlosotu said that her joy was now mixed with sorrow.

She confessed that she bought all the parts of the Nissan salon car from “Labuta” who is now at large, for N25,000.

Asked why she could buy a car for N25,000, Mrs. Akinlosotu said; “its God that punished me because I’m a cloth dealer and I don’t deal in cars. But, what pained me most in all these is that I have two of my sons who are currently living in America and I was arrested the day my last son got his traveling visa to the United States of America (U.S.A).”
About thirty other suspects were paraded by the crime-buster men of the command for various crimes, ranging from armed robbery, cult activities, internet fraud and drug related offenses.

Given the breakdown of activities and success story of crime bustling activities of men of the command in the last three weeks, the state Commissioner for police, Isaac Eke said the a huge result was made following a relentless and serious onslaught against criminals in the state.

According to Eke, 34 suspects were arrested at different parts of the state for various criminal offenses, with a major crackdown on cult groups and their criminal activities in the state.

The Commissioner said twenty suspected cultists were arrested by the police, including Bayo Akinfemiwa, a member of Eye cult and Chairman of Okada rider’s union in Ondo town.

Sad!!!Ahmed Tinubu's Health Worsens, Can't Recognise Close Relatives

Close family relatives to the godfather of southwest politics have begun long prayers sessions and fasting over the deteriorating health of Alhaji Bola Tinubu – who was flown to a medical facility in London for treatment last week – following what many believe was a massive stroke.

According to a source who claims to be knowledgeable of the Tinubu family, the health of the All Progressive Congress [APC] may have been worsened by a recent discovery of cancer. The cancer, he claims, had reached advanced stage before it was diagnosed by the medical team. The recent stroke only added to the seriousness of the situation.

As learnt, Tinubu in his current state has not been able to recognize close family relatives who had come to pay him a visit. One of the source who related his experience indicated that Tinubu was exhibiting symptoms of dementia.
