Fani Kayode says reason why he weep for Nigeria.
Femi Fani-Kayode |
The Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode says he weeps for Nigeria because of the way things have degenerated in the country.
He said on Monday that in the last few days happenings in the nation called for weeping.
“First is the discovery of a slave camp in Kaduna where, in the name of Koranic school, 500 children are incarcerated, chained up, tortured and subjected to sexual abuse.
“Second is the abduction and selling into slavery by ISWA “bandits” of 25 Nigerians from Katsina in Burkina Faso.
“The “bandits,” said they sold them into slavery in a foreign land because their relatives in Nigeria “could not afford to pay for their ransom.”
“Worse of all is the fact that, according to media reports, those ISWA “bandits” now control several towns and communities in Katsina state,” he lamented.
According to him, “Third, a man is arrested at the airport when he arrived into Nigeria and was detained for a few hours simply because he wore a shirt which had “we are all Biafrans” written on it. Can things get any worse than this? I weep for my country.”

President Muhammadu Buhari: grants printing monopoly to MINT
President Muhammadu Buhari: grants printing monopoly to MINT
President Muhammadu Buhari has granted the Nigerian Security Printing & Minting Company (NSPMC) the monopoly for the production and personalisation of all Nigerian E-passports and related documentation.
Buhari gave the directive today.
Popularly known as The Mint, the company was established in 1963 with the objective of producing the nation’s currency notes and coins for the Central Bank of Nigeria as well as security documents for Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government, banks and other blue chip companies.
With the new directive from the President, all existing memorandum of understanding and contracts on printing by other institutions/ companies will not be renewed.
The Mint is the largest banknote and security documents specialist printing company in West Africa. However, its performance was rapidly dwindling in terms of both currency production and security documents prior to 2014.
Under the chairmanship of the Central Bank Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, new targets were set, and Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of The Mint, Mr Abbas Umar Masanawa recounts some of the achievements to include: zero importation of currency from 2014 to date, with attendant benefits of conservation of foreign reserve, revenue and employment generation, as well as safeguarding the nation’s sovereignty.
Mr Masanawa counts the blessings further: “The Mint has returned to profitability. From a moribund organisation with heavy losses, the company grew from a loss position of N14. 6 million in 2014 to a profit of N14. 3 billion in 2018. Turnover also grew from N17.8 billion in 2014 to N61. 4 billion in 2018.
“Other achievements include enhanced production capacity, revenue diversification, reduced cost of production, institutionalization of corporate governance, improved staff welfare and industrial harmony, among others.”
The Managing Direction pledged that The Mint would justify the renewed confidence reposed in it by the President, “as we are moving to the Next Level, and poised to boost national security and integrity, we will conserve scarce foreign exchange, improve revenue generation, create job opportunities, and boost acquisition/transfer of technology.”

Raymond Dokpesi
The NBC had on Thursday shut down the two stations owned by Raymond Dokpesi’s DAAR Communication indefinitely for violating its guidelines.
Ruling on the matter on Friday, Justice Inyang Ekpo ordered the re-opening of the stations and ordered that parties in the case should maintain the status quo.
The presiding judge adjourned the case to June 13 for the defendant to show cause why the order should not be granted.
The NBC had suspended the licenses of the African AIT, and Ray Power FM indefinitely, as its Director-General, Dr Modibbo Kawu, said on Thursday in Abuja, that the stations committed offenses, which included the airing of a Presidential election documentary by the AIT, a matter pending before a tribunal; the inability of the company to pay its fees, the use of “divisive and inciting contents from the social media,” and others.
NBC had similarly before the election shut down Joy FM in Jos for violations of the broadcasting code. Last year, the NBC also shut down Ekiti Radio/TV station when former governor Ayo Fayose used the stations to broadcast fake election results.

Evan’s trial adjourns as co-defendant alleges failed surgery
File photo: Evans and other suspects in court |
The trial of Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike popularly known as Evans took an interesting turn on Thursday as one of his co-defendants, Linus Okpara told a Lagos High Court sitting in the Igbosere area that he had a failed surgery.
Okpara who is standing trial alongside the suspected billionaire kidnapper is the third of four defendants in an attempted murder case filed against Evans and the others by the Lagos State Government before Justice Adedayo Akintoye.
The defendant who is on remand at the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison, Lagos, alongside the others claimed that a surgery he underwent while in prison custody had failed.
At the last adjourned date on Thursday, the 16th of May, Okpara’s new counsel, Mr CJ Jiakponna, told the court that his client had a pending bail application because of an unresolved health challenge, Channels TV reports.
The judge adjourned till Thursday, May 23 for Jiakponna to argue the bail application after he would have served the prosecution counsel, Mr Y. G. Oshoala.
When the case came up on Thursday, Jiakponna did not move the bail application. Rather he moved another application seeking an order compelling the Medical Director of the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prison to issue a medical report on Okpara’s state of health.
“The applicant had a failed operation which might require treatment at an outside hospital. If at the end of the day, the medical report says he can be managed in the prison, we will not be able to move his (bail) application.
“We urge your lordship to grant this application. The law places a high premium on a human’s life.”
The prosecution did not oppose the application.
“In the interest of justice, we will not be opposing the application,” Oshoala said.
In her ruling on the issue, Justice Akintoye granted his request.
“In the absence of any objection to the motion filed on behalf of third defendant Okpara Linus, the Medical Director is hereby ordered to issue a medical report to the court within the next seven days,” she said.
The case has been adjourned to June 27.

Son exposes herbalist dad for killing a pastor who came to boost his church
An ex-convict, Sina Adeoye, has been arrested for killing one Pastor Emmanuel Ogedengbe of a Cherubim and Seraphim church, located around Agugu area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
This is coming 3 years after he was arrested for being the ring leader of a dare-devil six-man gang of ritaualists cum human parts seller in Oba-Ile, Osun State, and sentenced to 3 years in prison.
Pastor Ogedengbe had, on Sunday, May 5, 2019, asked his church member, Sola Adebayo, to accompany him to Adeoye to help him boost his church attendance as it had dropped seriously.
According to Adebayo: “It was when we got to Oba-Ile that I realized we have come to an herbalist house and I immediately asked him what we were doing there. .
.
He told me that these suspects were his friends and that they have been friends for like 8 years. Few minutes later, I was told to wait and they all left with Pastor and it was when I started calling his number without any response that I started having a second thought. .
.
I later escaped in my car. They chased me to Osogbo-Ikirun expressway before they got back and I rushed to the nearest police station.”
The police later mobilized and arrested of Sina Adeoye, Fatai Tirimisiyu and Baba Alawonle. They confessed to have slaughtered the Pastor and shared his vital body parts.
But another scenario played out, when one Sadiq, the son of the prime suspect, Adeoye, came to the police with a big bowl filled with human parts suspected to be some body parts of the deceased.
According to him: "My father told me to keep this bucket and warned me not to open it, lest I go blind. But since I heard that he has been arrested, I see the need to bring the bucket to the police so that he can open it.”#aranewstrends

Traders protest in Computer Village over the installation of Iyaloja
According to the traders, the protest is against the imposition of Iyaloja in computer village which they believe doesn’t need such.
Speaking Mr. Wasiu Agbaje, an Information Communication Technology Engineer, stated that the hub is quite different from other markets where such is done. According to him, installing such would undermine the hub because Iyaloja and technology have no correlation.
“What do the Iyaoloja and Babaloja have to offer, what value are they going to add to the hub? And what technological innovations are they bringing?”

Even if you marry Jesus and nag, He’d dump you - Prophet Frimpong
Prophet Kwame Frimpong of Yahweh Chapel International in Ghana, has revealed that even Jesus Christ can’t stand nagging.
He made the assertion while speaking on a recent TV show. According to him, “Even if you marry Jesus Christ and you nag, He will leave you. There is nothing as frustrating as a poor disrespectful wife.’’
He went further to say nagging is inherited from mothers. “Some women grew up watching their mothers disrespect their fathers. So they are used to that behaviour.
Their mothers insult their brothers and never apologize for such uncouth behaviour so they also carry it into their own matrimonial homes,” he added.

Galaxy boss arrested over N7bn ponzy scheme
EFCC has arrested the Chief Executive Officer of Galaxy Transportation and Construction Services Limited, #Babagana Dalori, who allegedly defrauded 27,400 Nigerians to the tune of about N7billion through fake promises of mouth-watering returns on their investment in his companies.

Dalori had incorporated the firm in 2012, with one tricycle (Keke NAPEP), which, through pool investments by members of the public, later boasted of 50 tricycles. .
The entrepreneur later diversified into other business ventures while promising mouth-watering returns to investors. The Commission’s investigators discovered that Dalori initially paid 200% interest on investors’ deposits in the firm and later reduced the interest to 135% before the scheme crashed in 2018.
To suck as many unsuspecting victims into his ponzi net, Dalori engaged in massive advertisements on radio and television, including a production of a movie by A-list Nollywood actors, which aimed at convincing members of the public to invest in his companies. .
He specifically organized some actors and actresses in Kannywood to act in a movie called “Zero Hour” to show the need for people to invest in Galaxy.
“Unfortunately, his gimmicks paid off as different people took their hard-earned savings, inheritance, pensions and other source of income and invested in Galaxy. Now, the scheme has crashed and investors can no longer get their money.
He used the investors money to incorporate different entities without getting their consent. He now has Galaxy Global Energy Concept Ltd, Galaxy Miners Concept Ltd, Galaxy Global Farms, Galaxy Computers, Galaxy Block Making Factory, Galaxy Hospital and Galaxy Hotel.”
Dalori’s modus-operandi is typical of those of Nigerian wonder banks, by accepting deposits from members of the public when his company is not a licensed financial institution, the suspect and his company have committed a criminal act punishable by the Banks and Other Financial Institutions Act.
At the moment, all bank accounts belonging to Galaxy have been frozen in order to prevent further dissipation of investor
