The Edo State Commissioner for Communication and Orientation, Barr. Paul Ohonbamu, has just resigned his appointment.

The Commissioner tendered his resignation in a letter exclusively obtained by Igbere TV on Thursday, which was addressed to the governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki.

He said he has “decided to step aside as a cabinet member and operate outside it for the general good of Edo State and pursuit of happiness for the citizens.”

Ohonbamu’s resignation comes barely a month after the governor’s ex-Chief of Staff, Taiwo Akerele walked away, amid the trend of high-profile exit from the Obaseki-administration

Reliable sources in the Government House say several other senior aides, including serving Commissioners, are planning their exit ahead the Edo 2020 governorship election.

The latest resignation comes weeks to the Edo All Progressive Congress (APC) primaries, in which Obaseki is seeking to fly the party's ticket in the September 19 governorship election.

The, governor, however, have top contenders to battle to clinch the APC ticket, including a former Secretary to State Government and Peoples Democratic Party 2016 governorship candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.

Rumours are rife that the now resigned Commissioner had pledged loyalty to Adams Oshiomhole, Obaseki’s estranged godfather and national chairman of the APC. Both Obaseki and Oshiomhole have been at loggerheads for some time now.

More details later...

"The 'Strange' Snake We Killed This Morning"

This is my first ever snake thread on nairaland, so I don't really know what section of the forum to post it.

I guess its a crime for snakes to bite humans cheesy and we killed it in self defense, even if it took 7days to do so. grin

7days ago a neighbor got bitten by a snake, while chilling out on some set of blocks just outside the compound, he was just trying to stand up from where he has being sitting on for at least 15 minutes, when the fiery little snake strikes his hand.

He was rushed to his village immediately where some herbs were rubbed on his hands(the place of the injury) , and little palm fronds tired to his hand, I must say he recovered quickly, I don't know how poisonous this particular snake is, but his hand was pretty swollen.

As the superstition have it in their village, when a member of their village gets bitten by a snake, and they take those herbs.


In 7days if the snake is still alive it will come back to the victim's house or the place of incident and thereafter it will be killed, I don't know how true it is but the snake right here in this picture was killed in our staircase just 2 foot to the said neighbor's apartment this morning . Yesterday made it the 7th day he was bitten by the snake, he was not around to identify if this was truly the snake that bite him.

Anyway there you go. The fiery little snake. Gosh I hate snakes

Man beats 10-month-old baby and the child's mother because the child won't stop crying and depriving him of sleep (video)

Concerned neighbors confronted a man after he beat a 10-month-old baby and the child's mother because the baby won't stop crying and depriving him of sleep.

Neighbors accosted the man after he battered the woman and threw her into a pool of dirty water. When asked, he said the woman insulted him after he beat her child for crying.

The man, named Isaac, is a relative of the woman's baby daddy. He said the baby daddy abandoned the woman and the child in the village so, he brought her down to Lagos in a bid to help her.

She started living with him and he said that's when he began losing sleep because the child always woke up crying at night.

He explained that he cautioned her to control her child and try breastfeeding him if he tries to keep the child from disturbing his sleep. However, he claimed that, rather than breastfeed the child when he cries at night, the mother will beat him, making him cry more.

He added that as an okada man he needs his sleep but hardly gets it.

On the morning that he beat the child and the mother, he said he heard the child crying and called the woman but she didn't answer. He beat the 10-month-old child and when his mother, who was in the bathroom, came out, she confronted him for beating her son.

Angered by the disrespect, Isaac said he beat the woman too and pushed her into the dirty water.

The woman had blood running down her hands from the injury inflicted on her. Her clothes were also soiled with the dirty water she was pushed into.

The man explained that he's been the one taking care of the woman and her child, however, the woman doesn't listen to him.

When asked what happened, the woman seemed reluctant to speak at first, but she later opened up and explained how the assault happened.

Busola Dakolo Gives Update On Her Rape Case Against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo

Busola Dakolo, wife of singer, Timi Dakolo, has
given an update on her r*pe case against
clergyman, Biodun Fatoyinbo.

Recall that in June 2019, she publicly accused
the clergyman of violently raping her when she
was a teenager and was worshipping in his
church in Kwara state. She filed a suit against
him but it was thrown out by the court.

In an update posted this afternoon on her
Instagram page, Busola shared a copy of the
letter she received from the police stating they
have completed investigations into the case and
have forwarded the case file to the Director of
Public Prosecution of the Federation (DPPP) for
legal advice and further necessary action.

She alleged the Ministry of Justice has since
received the case file for Fatoyinbo's
prosecution but has remained silent. She said
her team has sent a letter to the Ministry of
Justice over a month ago but no response yet.
Read the letter from the police sent to her and
her post below

''It is now officially one year after since I came
out and told the most important story of my
life up until this point. That when I was a
teenager, Biodun Fatoyinbo violently raped me.

It wasn’t just me. In the media, on social
platforms and in private, women have been
sharing stories of how this man either
destroyed their lives or tried to.

A lot has happened in that time: and my heart
is glad that consciousness continues to be
raised about the great evil that sexual abuse is,
and how widespread it is, and how much
women are at risk, and why we need to ensure
justice for those who find the strength to speak
out.

Awareness is victory. But we are pushing to
another even great victory: Justice.

When the courts last year decided to rule in
favour of the man who assaulted me, people
were crestfallen. I understood.

What they didn’t know however is that before
we even began, we had been prepared for a
long haul battle that may take years because
the Nigerian legal system isn’t wired to help
sexual abuse victims get justice.

Today, I have a major update. The police has
concluded its investigation. And handed over its
report to the Ministry of Justice in Abuja for
onward prosecution of Biodun Fatoyinbo. He
clearly has a case to answer.

But there has been silence from the ministry.
Silence. A loud silence!

We have written a letter but for over a month
we have no response.

Instead, my lawyers and my family have heard
about all manner of manipulation and foul play
being attempted to stop the ministry from
beginning prosecution immediately.

Or even to get the police report
manipulated.

My name is Busola Dakolo, a survivor of one of
the most horrific acts -rape. My voice will not
be shut down. My case will not be silenced. I
am thankful to those in and out of the police,
the ministry and the corridors of power who
have called in solidarity and to reassure me
that they are monitoring the ministry of justice
and that this pressure to bury the case will not
succeed.

I am updating the Nigerian public because you
all made my story matter. You joined me to say
enough is enough. With you, this has been an
easier process.''

Buhari Government: "2900 Payments Worth N51bn Paid Into Personal Accounts"– BudgIT

BREAKING: Buhari Govt: 2,900 payments worth N51bn paid into personal accounts – BudgIT

BudgIT has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to investigate the payment of government funds into personal accounts.

This call was made after a study of the Open Treasury Initiative of the Federal Government.

The Buhari’s administration on December 9, 2019, launched the Open Treasury Portal.

The purpose is to increase transparency in government spending.

On Thursday, BudgIT released its report titled Open treasury “OpenTreasury.gov.ng Nigeria’s Spending Platform: Review, Gaps and Recommendations”.

It noted that the sums were paid into personal accounts, including several records with vague descriptions.

BudgIT discovered over 5000 payments without descriptions to the tune of N278 billion.

It found over 2,900 payment records totalling N51 billion paid into personal accounts with vague descriptions.

In one, N68m payment was made for “Ogunsuyi” and N15.8m for “international” as a description.

After the launch, the All Progressives Congress (APC), said it affirmed Buhari’s resolve to tackle public sector corruption and plug leakages in the public treasury.

It called it a novelty in the pursuit of open governance, transparency and anti-corruption fight under Buhari’s Presidency.

APC spokesman, Lanre Issa-Onilu, in a statement said, “Those who want to do business with the government should understand that henceforth, everything would be done in the open.

He noted that every Nigerian now has access to every naira the government is making, every naira it is spending and on what it is being spent.

“In the fight against public sector corruption, the OTP complements other initiatives such as the administration’s full implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) which has increased the level of accountability and transparency in the financial resources of the government; stoppage of budget padding, contrary to what we witnessed throughout the 16 years of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pruning out thousands of ghost workers through the stricter implementation of Integrated Personnel Payroll System (IPPIS).

“To name a few of OTP’s requirements, all MDAs are to publish: daily reports of payments from N5m; monthly budget performance; quarterly financial statements; and annual financial statements prepared in compliance with International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS).

“All the reports are to be published within stipulated deadlines on the OTP portal which will be open to and can be accessed by all”, Issa-Onilu wrote.

Share Your Embarrassing Moments With The Doctor

Do you know the types of illness shameful to report? Those ones that has to do with your Gynae. OMG! When the doctor have to ask you the last time you had sex; or when the doctor have to ask you the nature of symptoms around your genitals.

This note goes to Nigerian doctors: Nurses and other paramedics have no business in the room when you’re interviewing your patient. Kindly respect the Hippocratic Oath. Thank you!

My experience:
It was a cool Sunday evening at my gf’s house, she had visitors in the inner room which made it quite impossible to have a rumple with her. It’s been a while I gave her the banana due to the fact that I’ve been out of town for a while.

She knows I go for what I want. I’ve been waiting for a moment to put her down to no avail. After a while left to use the restroom. I joined her immediately and carried her on the wash hand basin. Dropped her pants and panties and flung her legs on a 180 degrees.

***The Problem***
The following day I peed and the tip of my penis was very eeeeeeewwww. The pain was sharp and immediately remembered the thick wetness. Chai, temi bami! I don’t have multiple partners and though I can’t trust any woman, but I can say she knows I’m alpha and will never try rubbish with me.

Being a person who doesn’t play with sexual health, I have a son already but I still wanna have more. Hence any threat means I land in the gynae’s office immediately.

I reached the doctors and I already assumed I have gonorrhea. The doctor (a lady) asked when last I lamba’d, it was a really shameful one. I responded “yesterday”.

Here comes the banger, she told me to draw down my shorts and boxers. Haaaaaa. The doctor is a quadragenarian by my calculation, nice skin, nice teeth set and all that; so, if you’re not impotent, your dick must obey the clarion call of the beagle.

One fvçked up psychology about the male genital is that the more you resist, the more it gets mad. I drew my boxers and my thing was vibrating in synchronicity with my every heart beat. My third leg shamed me.

She checked the tip (saw some tiny blisters) and was like “NO, you’re fine, you probably had a rough one with your gf”. I was not convinced and asked her to proceed with the test.

Guess what?

The test came back NEGATIVE for all!

Gbolahan Lawal, Tinubu’s Former Aide, Set To Be Named New Oniru - The Cable

The stage is set for Gbolahan Lawal, Lagos commissioner for agriculture and former aide-de-camp (ADC) to Bola Tinubu, to be announced as the new oniru of Iru, TheCable has learnt.

He resigned his appointment as commissioner on Thursday, preparatory to taking over as the first class monarch of Iruland, which covers Victoria Island, Lagos state.

The affluent Victoria Island encompasses Lagos Island, Ikoyi and the Lekki Peninsula.

There have been controversies over who occupies the seat since September 2019 when Idowu Abiodun, the former oniru, died aged 82.

The tussle had been between Adesegun, a former commissioner and son of the late ruler whom some chiefs had reportedly endorsed, and Hakeem Ajasa, a retired police officer also endorsed by a part of the royal family.

Sources, however, told TheCable that while Ajasa was the favored, there was no compromise within the family.

Lawal, who was in the running before, is now the most favoured for the throne.

Born on July 24, 1970, Lawal obtained a degree in botany from the University of Port Harcourt in 1992.

In 2008, he obtained his post graduate degree in violence, conflict and development from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.

Lawal began his career at the raw materials research and development council at the federal ministry of science and technology in 1994 as a scientific officer.

He later joined the Nigerian police force and was commissioned as a cadet assistant superintendent.

As a police officer, he served as ADC to Tinubu who was governor of Lagos from 1999 to 2003.

Lawal retired voluntarily in 2008 as a superintendent of police.

A year after, he was appointed as senior special assistant on special projects by Babatunde Fashola, then governor of the state.

He was also the coordinator of the agriculture-based youth empowerment scheme (Agric-YES).

He was first appointed commissioner for agriculture and cooperatives in 2011.

In 2015, he was again appointed commissioner of housing by Akinkunmi Ambode, then governor of the state.

PRESS RELEASE

POLICE ARREST 3 BROTHERS FOR THE KIDNAP AND MURDER OF A MOTHER OF 5 IN ABUJA

- Exhume remains of the deceased for forensic examination

Police operatives attached to the Intelligence Response Unit of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested three (3) suspects namely; Johnson Emmanuel - 38yrs, Gideon Emmanuel - 31yrs and Success Emmanuel - 27yrs for the kidnap and gruesome murder of one Mrs Janet Nnenna Ogbonnaya on 14th May, 2020. The suspects, born by same parents, all male and native of Isiekenesi, Ideato LGA of Imo State were arrested by the Police in their home town where they had taken refuge after committing the crime in Abuja, in order to evade police arrest.

Investigations that led to the arrest of the suspects is sequel to complaints received from one Chinedu Ogbonnaya who alleged that his mother, Mrs Janet Nnenna Ogbonnaya, 55yrs, native of Ozuitem in Bende LGA of Abia State had been kidnapped and a 5-Million naira ransom demanded before she could be released. A comprehensive and painstaking investigation by the police operatives resulted in the arrest of the three (3) suspects, whom, in the course of interrogation, revealed that the victim had long been murdered and buried. Further findings revealed that the victim, a widow, who had been a Facebook friend of the principal suspect – Johnson Emmanuel, was lured from her home in Gwagwalada to visit the suspect. The suspect thereafter took advantage of the visit, served her yoghurt laced with drugs and subsequently had her murdered. The suspect having killed the victim and buried her remains in a septic tank, went ahead to reach out to the family of the victim using her phone and demanded 5-Million naira ransom as pre-condition for her release. ​

Meanwhile, today 4th June, 2020, the suspects led a team of investigators alongside pathologists to a residence at Wumba District, Lokogoma, Abuja where the victim’s decomposing body was exhumed from a septic tank. The exhumed body has been taken to the University Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada, Abuja for forensic examination.

A Toyota Highlander Jeep belonging to the deceased has also been recovered by Police operatives at a mechanic workshop in Apo where it had been repainted into a different colour, vehicle documents fraudulently changed and ownership of the stolen vehicle criminally transferred to one of the masterminds of the crime – Johnson Emmanuel.

Investigations also revealed that the house where the deceased was killed and buried originally belonged to one of the suspects but was hurriedly sold-off to a third party apparently to obliterate evidence.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni, while commending the operatives for a job well done, reassures that perpetrators of any form of crimes in the country will not go undetected and unpunished. He however enjoins citizens to be more security conscious and report any suspicious activities within their neighbourhood to the nearest police station.

Who Knows About The Story Of Medusa? (Pictured)

$
0

Bumped into this. A good read
Who knows the story of Medusa? Yes that ugly lady with the hair of snakes. The Gorgon who men dared not look at else they turn to stone. Do you know her real story?! Well I'll tell you!

When I was in school, I was given a project titled Myths and Legends. Well naturally I settled for Greek mythology and Medusa hit my interest.

I always thought she was evil and all but this is
the true story.

So Medusa was the most beautiful girl in her town. Her hair shone like gold. All men wanted her but she never gave in. She caught the eye of Poseidon the god of the sea and didn't give him the time of day. Well what did he do? He raped Medusa in Athena's temple. Athena was the goddess of wisdom and war.

Now the sad part was Athena was so enraged by what had happened that she cursed Medusa. Not the man who raped her no! Cursed the poor girl who was raped. Turned her into a creature that no man would ever look at again without dying and turned her beautiful hair into snakes.

Now some have claimed that Athena cursed Medusa to protect her but in all my research and even the writings of the poet, the story was consistent.

When I found out the truth behind Medusa, I changed my project and turned it into a tribute called 'Misunderstood'. I recreated her tombstone, changed her garments and created a pendant with her face on it.

Needless to say that was my best project in school and it was on display.

Now to bring it home. Isn't that what happens these days? Both here and abroad? A girl is raped and instead of going for her attackers, you blame her and slut-shame her. Claim she brought it on herald?

When you think of Medusa you think of an ugly Gorgon.

When I think of Medusa I think of a beautiful lonely girl the world failed. Just as the world is failing women today.

Soldier Strips And Attempts To Commit Suicide In Taraba State

The police in Taraba State have said they have no hands in the episode that led to a soldier attempting to commit suicide.

A soldier, whose name was given as Ali, had climbed the Welcome to Taraba Roadblock Tower -over 24fts high, and threatened to jump down and die.

Speaking in Hausa and pidgin, he was saying: “I want to die, if soldiers do not come to my rescue. Allow me to jump down and die.” But the youth who gathered at the place begged him: “Please do not jump. We don’t want you to die.”

For over an hour, residents of Jalingo struggled to save him from committing suicide.

The army have accused the police of brutalising the suicide attempting soldier.

But police spokesman, David Misal, asked: “If the police had actually brutalized the military man, where did he get the strength to climb the high tower? Why didn’t he report officially?

“If the police manhandled a soldier and he got injured, was he supposed to go into the streets and be threatening to kill himself?,” Misal asked.

Ali was seen on the high altitude Tower, attempting severally to jump down, but the people tried to make sure they saved him if he would jump. But they said they preferred he changed his mind and did not jump.

Witnesses said the soldier’s behaviour attracted their attention when they spotted him on top of the tower pulling and throwing down the items of clothing on him.

“We noticed someone climbing the tower and pulling off his clothes. We got there to discover he was someone we know. He was left with underpants and an inner vest and poised to jump. We went close and began to beg him,” an eyewitness said.


A close look revealed he had an injury on his left kneecap, which he bandaged.

A source told The Nation that Ali, fond of riding military motorbikes in town, has mental illness and the army are contemplating relieving him of his job.

After several hours, dozens of soldiers arrived at Roadblock and asked him to come down. He did and was taken in the military truck they brought.

It was gathered the soldiers later confronted the police, accusing them of slapping their colleague. But the police denied the allegation.

Another high-ranking soldier said the army were investigating the incident to find out whether Ali is mentally ill.
