Obasanjo’s Wife Files Suit In Lagos Court To Stop Son’s Wedding


Mrs Taiwo Obasanjo, wife of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Monday filed a suit at an Ikeja High Court, seeking to stop the wedding of her son, Olujonwo Obasanjo, scheduled for May 11.

Ex-President Obasanjo and the father of the bride, Sir Kessington Adebutu, promoter of Premier Lotto known as “Baba Ijebu” are respondents to the suit.

Mrs Obasanjo, who is the twin sister of Chief Kenny Martins, the former Coordinator of the Police Equipment Fund, is seeking a postponement of the wedding of her son, Olujonwo to Tope Adebutu scheduled for May 11 and May 12.


She wants the wedding to be fixed for a date after June 1.
NAN reports that Olujonwo and Tope had an elaborate introduction on Dec. 17, 2016 with the social media awash with photographs of the event.

Obasanjo, among others, is seeking a court declaration that as the mother of the groom, she had the rights to take part in the deliberations, decisions and activities leading to the forthcoming ceremony.

According to her, wedding invitations have been sent out and she has been excluded from the preparations for the ceremonies.

She said she also received prophesies and warnings from men of God to the effect that Olujonwo, her son who turns 34 on June 1, should not do or be involved in any elaborate celebration before his birthday.

The woman wants the court to compel Adebutu and Obasanjo to shift the wedding to a date after June 1 after she had appealed to Adebutu and Mrs Rosemary Dacosta, the mother of the bride, Tope Adebutu, the bride-to-be as well as Chief Kenny Martins.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Justice Lateefa Okunnu has fixed April 10 for hearing of the suit no. ID/262FPM/2017.

Kenyan Lady Whose Hands Were Cut Off Because She Couldn't Have A Child Is Pregnant

Do you remember the Kenyan woman, Jackline Mwende, whose estranged husband, Stephen Ngila, used a machete to cut off her arms and left her for dead because she couldn't have a baby, sometime in July last year? Well she's having a baby.

However, the 28-year-old who has overcomed her agony, after being fitted with prosthetic limbs in Seoul, South Korea, thanks to the generosity of LG Electronics, refused to name the father of her baby. The lady already has a new home she can take care of her baby in, as German pharmaceutical and science firm Merck built her a house complete with solar panels and a water tank.

The Sun reports that women’s rights activists were furious that her ex-husband Ngila, a tailor, was released on bail of £1,544 after being charged with the horrific crime. Jackline also told The Associated Press that tests done three years ago, showed that her husband is the one with reproductive problems – not her.

She said their relationship deteriorated after the tests, and that her husband did not show up for treatment as doctors prescribed.

This is the TECNO Camon CX Review; TECNO's midrange smartphone for 2017 was launched in Kenya yesterday.

We have decided to title this topic thus: TECNO Camon CX Review due to its nature. The Camon Cx which is tipped as one of the best camera themed devices of 2017.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyncxjc0ooQ

Design

Display: 5.5" FHD IPS Touchscreen

Dimension: 152.8*75.8*5.6mm (Visual)

Resolution: 1920*1080

First of all, talking about the design of this device, it looks like an iPhone 6s resemblance much. While it cops a 5"5 screen size, it does allow the device.

Memory

16GB ROM + 2GB RAM

Expandable Micro SD, up to 128GB

Software

Operating System: AndroidTM 7.0
Processor: 1.5 GHz Octa-Core
Network: GSM/WCDMA/LTE
Band: GSM: 900/1800
WCDMA: 900/2100
LTE: Band 3/7/20/28A/40
Connectivity: GPS, WiFi, BT

Also READ: [url]TECNO L9 Plus Unboxing and Review[/url]http://ladispeaks.com/2017/03/06/tecno-l9-plus-unboxing-and-tecno-l9-plus-review/

Sensor

G-Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, E-Compass, Fingerprint Sensor

Noteworthy in this device is the sensors the device comes with. Surprisingly, the device would be coming with 5 sensors and most importantly, the e-compass sensor hence making navigation an easy feat on the device.

Camera

16MP Front Camera with Dual Flash
16MP AF Back Camera with Ring Flash

With a 16MP front and rear camera, the device poses a great camera capacity. Although the device does not have camera properties, it does do its job. Furthermore, the device takes excellent night selfies when used. We hear that probably, a smaller version of the Camon CX would also be released into the market.

Battery

Finally, the battery comes with a 3,200 mAh capacity. While our team this is a good idea, based on how optimized the device is, some may opine otherwise. This argument about the strength of battery and their capacity in number will never go away. Some think; the more the number, the more the power. Some argue against this.

This device surely lasts long than the ordinary 3,000 - 3,200 mAh device.

Presidency Speaks On Senate’s Demand For Magu’s Removal As EFCC Boss

The Nigerian Senate is an arm of government that must be respected in any decision it takes in the course of exercising its powers as an independent institution, the presidency said
Tuesday.

The comment came in reaction to the decision of the upper legislative chamber to suspend consideration of his nominees for Resident Electoral Commissioners in protest against Ibrahim Magu’s continued stay in office as the acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

The senators had declined to confirm Mr. Magu as substantive chairman of the anti-graft office after two requests by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The president sent a list of 27 nominees to the Senate last week.

The senators also protested alleged disrespect of the National Assembly by appointees of the president.

The Senate has been locked in prolonged supremacy battle with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, and Comproller-General of Customs, Hameed Ali.

Mr. Lawal and Mr. Ali declined separate summons of the Senate last week, over issues bordering on alleged corruption and non-compliance official dress code, respectively.

But speaking in response to the lawmakers, President Buhari’s Senate liaison officer, Ita Enang, said the administration will respect the decision of the lawmakers and pursue dialogue with them.

“We will not question the power of the senators to take decision on how they want to conduct nomination hearings,” Mr. Enang told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Tuesday afternoon. “We will not go fighting with them”.

Instead, “we will listen to their grievances and reason along with them,” Mr. Enang said shortly after the Senate took the decision to protest Mr. Magu’s continued stay in office.

He declined to say if the president will now ask Mr. Magu to step aside, saying he will “not go into specifics.”

Shortly after rejecting Mr. Magu penultimate Wednesday, the senators urged the president to relieve the EFCC chief of his job and name a temporary replacement pending fresh nomination of a substantive chairman.

Today’s development marked the second time in recent months that the Senate would move to force the hands of the executive on national issues.

In November 2016, the senators threatened to boycott plenary to protest a prolonged delay in conducting re-run elections in Rivers State.
The Independent National Electoral Commission swiftly announced dates for the elections, which held the following month.

Senator Dino Melaye who is in the center of a certificate scandal has received support from some Nigerians who claimed to have served in the same NYSC camp with him in Kaduna. The senator shared a copy of his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate which showed that he started the programme on 9th July 2000 and finished on 8th July 2001 following his graduation from Ahmadu Bello University ABU Zaria.

A twitter user has shared a copy of his original NYSC discharge certificate online in order to shed more light on some sketchy details on the certificate like the camp resumption date 9th July 2000 which was on a Sunday -an unofficial day (as NYSC camp resumes only on working days). According to the twitter user whose own resumption date was 8th July (which was on Saturday -also an unofficial date), they resumed the camp on 10th that's Monday but the NYSC officials decided to date it 9th....
