Nyako tells Jonathan!Stop blaming the Northerners on your poor perfomance
Jonathan spoke on saturday at the North East Zonal rally of the PDP in Bauchi, capital of Bauchi state. Nyako, who used to be a member of Jonathan’s PDP and has now joined the opposition APC, responded yesterday.
He described the President’s claim as unfortunate and insisted that it was the poor leadership exhibited by the Jonathan administration that had aided and abetted the rising spate of terrorism in the North.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that if there is any proof of bad governance, it will be located in the way and manner the President executes his priorities and the kind of statements he and his spokespersons make. Governors are not and cannot be held responsible for security challenges since they have no control over security apparatus. The President is the Commander-in-Chief with powers over the Armed Forces, Police and other security agencies,”Nyako said.

I can't waste my time on El-Rufai,He is too small-Says Pst Oritsejafor
Two big men are trading word with each other now.In an interview with Punch yesterday , President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor responded for the first time on Mallam Nasir Elrufai's
claims that the private jet he got some months back was from the
presidency and not from his church members.
Your children in the ministry bought aircraft for you recently, but Mallam Nasir el-Rufai claimed it was a gift from the President. How do you feel about this?I am glad that there are people who challenged him. I would only be dignifying him if a person at my level starts exchanging words with a small person like el-Rufai. He is too small. I will not dignify him with a response. People responded. They told him that since he knew who gave the gift, he should provide the proof, which he hasn’t done till today. Obviously, he didn’t have any proof. That is the problem with Nigeria. We continue to celebrate people like el-Rufai. He is too small for me.

UK landlord who leased a penthouse flat to Joseph Yobo has
said he has never seen a house this dirty before. The Landlord who was visible
angry said, he is horrified and has never seen such before. He claims there
were burn marks on the carpet, a dirty kitchen and bathroom, and holes in the
wall left from a flat-screen television.
“There’s bond money of £1,500, but by the look of it, it
will need £5,000 to put all the damage right and I will have to call in industrial
cleaners. There are iron marks on the floor, as if left by ironing, and holes

Court nullifies FRSC new plate Number
Premium Times reports
Delivering judgment in a suit filed by Emmanuel Ofoegbu, a lawyer, against the FRSC, the judge said that it was unlawful for the commission to impose the new number plates on Nigerians, where no existing law permitted it.
“The issue of redesigning new number plates by the respondent, is not covered under the provisions of any law in Nigeria,” said James Tsoho, the judge.“The respondent (FRSC) cannot force Nigerians to acquire new plate numbers by impounding cars, without the backing of any legislation to that effect.
“I hold that the act of the respondent amounts to an arbitrary use of power, and is therefore illegal and unconstitutional.
“Judgment is therefore entered in favour of the plaintiff, and all the reliefs sought is hereby granted, I so hold,” the judge added.

Muna Obiekwe reacts to the BOOB sucking movie with Biola Ige
Nollywood actress, Biola Ige, and Enugu-based actor, Muna Obiekwe, have not been resting easy since a picture, portraying the two actors allegedly smooching, with Muna sucking Biola’s boobs went viral online. Biola had explained her position, claiming that, what appeared in the picture must have been a trick of photoshop because, according to her, the scene never took place, during, before or after shooting of the film ‘Pregnant Hawkers’. And now, Muna Obiekwe too has opened up on the matter.
Vanguard reports it was quite hard, getting the fair-skinned actor to talk as he brusquely told them he doesn’t grant interviews, challenging Vanguard to bring any interview he has granted before. Vanguard says they told him there is always a first time, the line went dead only for Muna to call back the next day to say, indeed, there is always a first time to everything in life and granted them this interview.

their loved ones.

Fresh Attack!Boko Haram Killed 5 Policeman and 3civilians in Maiduguri
Suspected Boko Haram militants on Tuesday hurled explosives in Nigeria’s troubled northeastern city of Maiduguri, killing five police officers, while a separate blast killed three.
The attacks were the latest to hit the Borno state capital, which is the epicentre of Boko Haram’s brutal insurgency which has killed thousands since 2009, including more than 700 this year.
In two separate incidents, a moving car packed with explosives blew up in Maiduguri’s Government Farm Area at 7:50 am (0650 GMT), killing three civilians, Borno police spokesman Gideon Jibrin said.
The vehicle “was obviously meant to be used against (a) target somewhere in the city”, he said, but exploded prematurely for reasons that were not immediately clear.

I just came out of a major sickness but i Thank God now-Says Prof Dora Akunyili
Professor Dora Akunyili, the former strong woman of National Agency for Food, Drug Administration Agency caused a stir when she appeared at the National Judicial Institute venue of the ongoing national conference in Abuja on Monday looking very pale and emaciated, a far cry from her usual vivacious self.
Many delegates could not recognise her at first glance as they were shocked by her almost ghoulish appearance.
On her facebook page on Tuesday, the former Iron Lady who as NAFDAC DG gave drug counterfeiters hell and whose tenure was globally celebrated for the clean up of the Nigerian pharmaceutical industry admitted that she has been ill: “I just came out of a major sickness, for which I thank Almighty God for delivering me. I know that God did that for a purpose.
“I am well now but only need time to put on more weight. However, I am strong enough for this Conference and I look forward to collaborating with other delegates to chart the way for a better Nigeria,” added the former Minister who is also one of the few Ministers who spoke up against the cabal that was playing dangerous games with the country when late President Umaru Yar’ Adua was sick.
She resigned from the cabinet of President Jonathan who succeeded Yar’Adua to contest Senatorial position in Anambra, her home State under the platform of All Progressives Grand Alliance, but she lost the election to Dr. Chris Ngige of the APC.
Whatever happened to Dora?
