And this user resorted to the old Nigerian saying

If it’s true that Dino Melaye threatened to beat up Remi Tinubu the saying is true then;”Whom the gods want to destroy they first make mad”

Nigeria’s unity is negotiable- Former Akwa Ibom state governor Victor Attah says

Tweet on Twitter

Former Akwa Ibom state governor, Victor Attah, says contrary to President Buhari’s position, Nigeria’s unity can be negotiated. President Buhari, during the Sallah holiday, had told a group of people who paid him a visit in the state house, that members of the various militant groups and Pro-Biafra group should stop their agitations as the unity of Nigeria cannot be negotiated.
In an interview with Vanguard, Attah said negotiation does not mean splitting of the country …
“You have to renegotiate. If you talk about renegotiation, some people think you want to split the country. No, it is like everytime they tell you to go and investigate somebody, you think it means you must go and find that person guilty. No, do not forget that they investigated Dr Alex Ekwueme and came back and said in fact, he was poorer than when he went in (to government). The people of Nigeria are dissatisfied with the current federal arrangement or whatever is binding them together now and are saying they want to renegotiate the terms of staying together.
The President quoted Gowon. Gowon had said that keeping Nigeria one is a task that must be achieved. That task was achieved by military means. He (Buhari) is not a military man now, he is a democrat, a politician. So, the only means politicians have is to negotiate. ‘So, what did you mean by you won’t negotiate? If you want to keep Nigeria one today, you must negotiate the terms and conditions of the people staying together and it goes back to the conference report, it goes back to the concept of fiscal federalism.
‘You would find out that in the final analysis, that is what everybody would be saying to you. Go and study as religiously as you can, the constitutions of 1960 and 1963. What is restructuring? Several people have used that word and have not been able to say what they mean. The few that have actually attempted to say what they mean either end up talking about going back to the regions as we had them before or adopting the six-zonal structure that had been proposed for Nigeria, which actually is in current usage but has not been sanctioned by the constitution of Nigeria. Others just use the word restructuring because it is almost like a buzz word, it is a popular thing to say now. ‘I do not want to be caught up in the semantics. I will subscribe, absolutely and entirely, to the concept of fiscal federalism. People ask what is the difference between fiscal federalism and restructuring and I will explain. I am convinced that fiscal federalism can be practised with even the 36 state-structure and one federal capital territory that we have today in Nigeria. In fact, I can say, it is a must, for there to be peace and harmony, understanding among the federating units”he said

Meet The Woman Secretly In Charge Of NNPC, Ministry Of Petroleum

Oge Modie was appointed Chief of Staff to the former Group Managing Director (GMD) of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu in August 2015.

Upon confirmation of her Principal as the Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources in November 2015, she now plays the dual role as the Chief of Staff providing administrative and advisory support to the GMD and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources.
Despite her inexperience in the industry, she has played a leading role in the decision making process within the last 7 months.
She has been accused of “murdering due process” while running “a one-woman show”. The position of Chief of Staff is unprecedented in the ministry as no minister or GMD in the past has employed or appointed a chief of staff, rather they have what is called STA’s Senior Technical Assistant who is normally picked from experienced staff within the ministry.
Her appointment as Chief of Staff has fostered divisions in the ministry as she calls the shot, controlling and issuing directives to Group Executive Directors, GED’s that have over twenty years of experience in the industry.
Referred to as “Queen of Mean” by some officials of the NNPC for her legendary cruelty towards her employees and disdain for staff. “She persist in the arrogant belief that she’s above the law, according to some workers in the ministry.
She has taking workers disdain to new lows at the NNPC and the Ministry with most GEDs reporting to her.
She has succeeded in earning the hostility of workers for her anti-people behaviors and actions, according to ministry staff who spoke to this media house under the condition of anonymity.
Information gathered by Per Second News revealed that Oge and some of her co-travellers brought into the NNPC by the former minister of state are on their way out as the new NNPC GMD is about to ‘fumigate’ the place.

N1.3bn Arms Cash: EFCC Detectives To Quiz Obanikoro’s Ex-ADC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, will tomorrow (Wednesday) question Lt. A.O Adewale, the former Aide de Camp to immediate past Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro over the N1.299billion flown to the Akure Airport for Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose.
Lt. Adewale of the Nigerian Navy, has received an invitation to make himself available for interrogation at the EFCC headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.

Mr. Adewale, as part of his responsibility as ADC, reportedly accompanied the former junior minister to deliver the cash, which was meant for the prosecution of the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti.
The cash is believed to have come from the arms procurement fund that was under the Office of the former National Security Adviser (ONSA), Sambo Dasuki.
The officer was on board a chartered aircraft with Registration No: HS125-800 5N-BMT belonging to Gyro Air Limited, which ferried the N1.299billion to Akure on June 17 and 18, 2014.
He was supposed to have reported last week at the EFCC headquarters but requested to report tomorrow after getting clearance from the Navy.
A source said: “We are expecting him on Wednesday. Our team of investigators is on standby to interact with the naval officer who was the ADC to Obanikoro.
“We took time to invite him because investigation has not reached his own curve. Now, as a star witness to the movement and the modus operandi of the ex-minister, we need to hear from him.
“We are interested in his role in the movement of the cash to Fayose’s associate”.
Meanwhile, it was learnt that Fayose’s associate, Abiodun Agbele, who allegedly collected the slush funds from Obanikoro, was said to have “cringed” when EFCC detectives confronted him with incontrovertible evidence.
Agbele, who is presently in EFCC custody, was said to be worried after being shown some damning bank tellers, which he personally signed.
He was just “cringing”, the source added.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, yesterday morning paid a visit to the family of the late Assistant Pastor of the Divine Touch Parish of the RCCG, Mrs Eunice Elisha, in Abuja.

This was the same day that a former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili called on the Federal Government and security agencies, particularly the police, to expedite action and bring to justice masterminds of the murder.

The forty-two-year-old mother of seven was killed in cold blood around Bazango-West area of Kubwa in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, while evangelizing on Saturday morning.
Barely a day after the wife of the Vice-President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo, also a pastor of the RCCG, paid a condolence visit to the deceased’s husband and children, Adeboye visited the husband of the deceased, Pastor Olawale Elisha and the family around 6am to console them.
Meanwhile, the former minister and BringBackOurGirls campaigner tweeted at about 1.17pm on her personal handle, @obyezeks, that the government should act fast, not only on the murder of Mrs. Olawale, but, also resolve the murder of another woman in Kano two months ago for alleged blasphemy.
She wrote: “Two women-Bridget Agbahime and now, Eunice Elisha have been needlessly killed for their faith.

We Will No Longer Tolerate The Constant Killings Of Christians – CAN

Following the gruesome attack of a 42 year old mother of seven children, Mrs. Eunice Elisha, on Saturday 9th July, 2016 in Kubwa area of Abuja, FCT,  where she was on a Christian evangelism, the National leadership and the entire members of Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) have released a statement.

INFORMATION NIGERIA brings you 5 things to note from it.
1.Christians should defend themseelves;

The unprovoked attacks on Christians and the authority’s inaction is becoming unbearable and may not be tolerated anymore, inasmuch as we will continue to call on Christians to remain tolerant and law abiding, it is becoming inevitable to also call on them to buckle up and be ready to defend themselves against these incessant unprovoked and mindless attacks.

2.Government’s inaction makes it worse

The recurring decimal of violence and murder of innocent Nigerian citizens on the basis of religious intolerance demands specific and relevant response from all concerned citizens in the country more so when the government in power seems to have adopted an attitude of lukewarm response to the evils being perpetrated in Nigeria in the name of religion.

3.Nigeria is dancing to destruction

With these happenings and the lukewarm attitude by the authorities concern toward putting an end to it, Nigeria is dancing a macabre dance of death, both for the nation and for its citizens. It is time to stop the beat and let common sense guide the nation out of the present quagmire. A stitch in time saves nine.

4.Christians may lose confidence

“Before the situation escalates into an unmanageable national crisis, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) is calling on the authorities both at the states and federal to do everything possible to bring the perpetrators to justice if the confidence of Christians on this government must be maintained.”
