I said if APC survives, I will change my name - Doyin Okupe

 

Okupe took to his facebook page to clarify issues - Read the full transcript below

 

Firstly I never said if APC survives "call me a bastard" what I said was that "I will change my name" that is the truth. So the prerogative of changing my name is mine. Bastard is not an alternative. But u can continue to say that if it gives u the kick. I really and truly don't care.

Secondly if I make a prediction it is my right to do so. A prediction is essentially what it is... A forecast or projected statement about the future. It does not have to come to pass.

Goodluck Jonathan is no hero - Oby Ezekwesili

Oby Ezekwesili again has taken to her twitter handle to state that she does not see Jonathan as a hero.

 

She said, “When a review of President Jonathan’s administration is done, we’ll realise how much damage sycophancy did to governance. Example? Chibok Girls.”
“A leader must be without an inordinate desire to be serenaded with ‘good news’ or their team will never let them know the true state of affairs.”

“An environment that rewards sycophancy encourages team to withhold accurate ‘bad’ news (problems) from the leader while serving up ‘good news’.”

“When a leader makes hero worshipping costly to those who engage in it, he/she deprives the ‘sellers’ market to set the ‘Mediocrity Benchmark.’”

“A critical success factor in governance is for the leader to both in word and deed convey a culture that abhors sycophancy. No hero worshipping

Why I decided to combine armed robbery with my military work - Arrested armed robber

Nemesis has caught up with a former serving soldier, Ugo Wil­liams who specialised in rob­bing unsuspecting victims of their cars at gunpoint. His modus ope­randi is to stop his victim and move them to a safe point where he would rob them of their car and valuables. He was iden­tified and arrested by his latest victim, Adeniran Adenola while he was on his way to attend a church service in Mushin area of Lagos State. Also arrested was one of his gang members, Obinna Aku, a mechanic whose stock-in-trade is also to vandalise and sell stolen cars at Ladipo market.

On their arrest, Adenola, their victim told the police that he was heading home at about 6pm on January 16, when a sol­dier asked him to stop and park. He obeyed and was shocked when the soldier and one other person jumped into his car.

They threatened to kill him if he fails to give them money when they realised that he had only N1000 in his pocket. At gunpoint, they drove Adenola to a deserted bank and forced him to withdraw money from the ATM. When the suspects realised that there was no money in his account, they took his phone and pushed him out of the car.

Boko Haram kidnapped my sisters

 

It was about 8:30 am on a humid Monday in Damask, Borno State, and driver Bukkar Hassan was get­ting set for the day’s business when he heard loud gunshots from the east.

He stepped out of his house to find out what had triggered the shots, only to find heavily armed Boko Haram militants ex­changing fire with soldiers from the Nige­rian Army.

 

“The shooting was heavy, and as peo­ple heard the gunshots they began to run in different directions,” Bukkar said. “Some ran towards the river, others to neighbor­ing villages.”

 

As the militants advanced, Bukkar took to his heels, running towards home—but when he arrived there, he found some­thing shocking: His house was on fire and his sisters were struggling with insurgents who were hell-bent on taking them away.

When they were areested, the Hacksonville police spokes person said the couple did not do anything illegal selling tickets to heaven,  But that the Watts misrepresented their product. ‘’The tickets were just wood spray painted gold with ‘Ticket To Heaven – Admit One’ written in marker. You can’t sell something as gold when it’s not. That’s where the Watts crossed the line into doing something illegal.”
