'The men I date don't look at other women when they are with me' - Halima Abubakar

 

"I have never fought over any man. Men are just too many. I cannot fight over any man. Why will a girl fight me over a man? The kind of men I have dated  (they are not many though) don’t have eyes for other women when they are with me. If you are in a relationship with me, you are really in a relationship with me. There will be nothing like another girl by the side. I have never been in such situation." -  the actress told Punch in an interview when asked if she's ever fought over a man. Well,

RMD denies N50 million fraud, my hands are clean he says

                
 According to Sahara Reporters, star actor and current Delta State commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Richard Mofe Damijo, is at the centre of an alleged fraudulent transfer of funds which the EFCC is supposedly currently investigating. The report claimed that RMD and the acting GM of the Delta State Tourism Board, Mrs Philo Nkem Ajufo, squandered N50 million belonging to the ministry (Google the story, it's all over the net).

RMD has finally reacted to the allegations, insisting it's not true.

"I won't respond to Sahara Reports. When it's time, I will. And I'm sure you know it's not true" He told Encomium magazine on March 3rd.

RMD and Toolz hosted Iyanya's concert on Saturday and the governor of Delta State, Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan was in the audience. The most interesting part of this allegation is that EFCC is yet to alert the nation of any fraud in Delta State.

Youth Corpers Doing Frog Jump on The Order of A Soldier

 This was the welcome to camp treatment the Corpers got for arriving a bit late at the Nasarawa State NYSC camp. I wonder why the soldiers should subject them to this kind of treatment? They don't even know if any of the corpers is having medical issue(s) or something.

Recall that it was in this same Nasarawa State that about four students of the state's institution was shot dead by soldiers during a peaceful protest.

Please, the federal government should send a strong warning to the military guys in Nasarawa, especially the ones "relating" with students and corpers to avoid another ugly incident.

Dear LIB readers: Should I go back to my matrimonial home?

 From a LIB reader

This is a true story and I need your urgent advise. I left my matrimonial home in January after I found out another woman was pregnant for my husband. I was six months pregnant then and the other lady was five. This woman is my husband's ex who he kept sleeping with until our wedding in September 2012. He told me he hasn't touched her since we got married but he got her pregnant a month before our wedding. I'm eight months pregnant now and I'm very angry and disappointed in myself for choosing a man who has humiliated so much. My family and friends are begging me to go back home, give my marriage a chance and have my baby there, but I don't know that I want to do that. I'm staying at my parents house at the moment and yes my husband is also begging. So on top of being angry, I'm also confused.

Praises For Olusegun Obasanjo As He Turns 76

 President Goodluck Jonathan has described former president Olusegun Obasanjo as a true father and elder statesman, reassuring him of continuous sharing in his joy as Obasanjo celebrated his 76th birthday.

“Today we’re celebrating a true Nigerian, an advocate of peace, a man also who introduced reform to social and political life when he was beckoned to save this country, when the opportunity came in 1999 to govern the country again. We cannot but celebrate this great man as we’re doing today.”

Jonathan, represented by his Chief of Staff, stated this at International Conference Centre, Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Oke Mosan, Abeokuta during the 76th birthday celebration of the former president.
In his welcome address, the co-chairman of Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Board of Trustees, Dr. Christopher Kolade described the celebrant as a man deserving every honour considering his achievements in Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
Kolade said, "as we are celebrating here today, also many Nigerians across the world are rejoicing with this great man. As I was coming here this mornin g, I saw a newspaper captioned Northern Governors felicitate with Obasanjo, I was amazed and asked myself, has this man not now turned an history himself. He is a conflict resolution man, prudent manager of resources, detribalised elderstatesman. May he live long with good health”.

On his part, Carl Masters, said “It is interesting to note that Obasanjo is 76 years today and he is still physically fit.”

CAN Blasts Sultan of Sokoto for Asking Amnesty for Boko Haram

The Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Abubakar (III), on Tuesday asked President Goodluck Jonathan to grant members of the dreaded Islamist militant group, Boko Haram “total amnesty” for the sake of peace in the country.
Blaming the security challenges confronting the country on injustice “meted out to the people,” he said the muslim community in Nigeria was concerned about the spate of bombings and killings by Boko Haram members, especially in the North.

Sultan Abubakar, who is the spiritual head of Muslims in Nigerian, argued that a presidential amnesty to even one member of the sect, could make others to lay down their arms for peace.

Abubakar spoke at the meeting of the Central Council of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam in Kaduna.
“Ours is to advise and we will continue advising the government. If they do what they are supposed to do, that would be fine,” he said, adding that one of the primary duties of government was to ensure the protection of the citizenry.
But in a swift reaction, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, flayed the call by the Sultan, saying it was an indication that he knows the members of Boko Haram.
“Maybe the Sultan knows the Boko Haram members. If he is seeking amnesty for them, it shows that he knows them, because you cannot call for amnesty for people you don’t know,” General Secretary of CAN, Dr. Musa Asake, said.
Dr. Asake added, “All we have been asking is: who are these people? They are faceless people but if someone is calling for amnesty for them, it shows that such a person knows them and if he knows them and calling for amnesty, then there is a problem.
“If the Sultan knows the Boko Haram members, is he saying that Boko Haram members are fighting a just cause? Will they actually receive the amnesty wherever they are? Are they going to accept the amnesty since we don’t really know them? If we get answers to the above, CAN will be able to make further comment.”

Guess who’s back in Nigeria to take his place on the music scene?

 

It’s Baba Kuboye! Son of renowned jazz duo, Tunde and Fran Kuboye (nee Ransome Kuti) and grand-nephew of Afrobeat Legend Fela Kuti.

He was spotted around town in Lagos last week, and sources say he is back to launch a professional music career over here. Baba has always been on the periphery of the music industry by virtue of regular performance sessions with his parents who owned the popular Jazz 38 Club in Ikoyi. A few years ago he released an underground rap album in London and has also worked with hip-hop acts based in Europe. 

A few years ago Baba recorded and shot a heartfelt tribute to his late mother called MAMA, which was collaboration with his sisters.The rapper/producer has just wrapped up a video shoot in Florida, so he will be releasing some new music very soon.

Father ties, locks up six-year-old daughter for witchcraft

A 42-year-old father, Mr. Edet Etok-Akpan, is currently being quizzed at the headquarters of the Cross River State Police Command in Calabar for torturing his six-year-old daughter, Edidiong, as a result of a church prophetess’ pronouncement that the girl was a witch.
Edidiong was beaten by her father and locked up in a room with her hands, mouth and face bound for four days before she was rescued by neighbours.
It was learnt that Etok-Akpan started beating her on February 19 after an unidentified prophetess in their church told him that Edidiong was the witch responsible for the stagnancy in his life.
Narrating her ordeal to PUNCH Metro on Monday, Edidiong said after the beatings which lasted for some days, her father on February 21 tied her hands with a cord and bound her mouth with a piece of cloth.
She said, “He locked me in the inner room of our house and he never gave me food and never allowed me to go to school.”
The girl, who said she is in basic three at Femos Nursery and Primary School located at 24 Etyin Abasi Street, said she was becoming weak after days without food or water.
Luck, however, came her way on February 23, when another child, who lives with her parents in the same 42 Atakpa Street, came to their veranda to look for broom and discovered her.
Giving details of how she was rescued, a lawyer with the Basic Rights Counsel, Mr. James Ibor, said, “The girl went to Edidiong’s veranda to look for a broom and heard the sound of the girl like that of someone battling with her last breath.
“She looked through the louvers of the window and saw Edidiong bound on the floor and raised the alarm. Her parents and other neighbours rushed to the place and saw Edidiong bound inside her apartment.”
Ibor said one of the neighbours called him and he in turn informed the police.
He said, “When the policemen and I got there, we saw a crowd gathered outside. We were able to rescue the child by breaking the door.
“The girl was very weak because she had been without food for days and so we had to give her water first, then after about ten minutes we gave her milk before solid food an hour later.”
Ibor said the culprit and his wife had locked up the girl in the inner room of their two-room apartment and went to church, adding that the girl was presently living with her grandmother in another part of the town.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. John Umoh, said Etok-Akpan, who is from Akwa Ibom State, had been arrested and would soon appear in court to answer charges of felony.
He said, “To tie a small girl’s hand and mouth and lock her in a room for some days without food is a grievous offence, he shall soon appear in court.”
Umoh, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, warned parents to always treat their children with care, adding criminalities are increasing daily because parents had abandoned their responsibilities to their wards.
He also said the police would visit the church where the father got the prophecy.
