I Underestimated Boko Haram – Jonathan Confesses

President Goodluck Jonathan has opened up that he underestimated Boko Haram Islamists who have overrun swathes of the country’s northeast states.

Jonathan, facing a tight re-election bid against Muhammadu Buhari and his party APC, has faced criticism over the vote delay, which critics argue was designed to give him time to shore up his campaign.

The Presidency pushed through the military for a six-week delay was granted by INEC to allow it secure the country for the election, though Boko Haram’s insurgency has raged for six years.

Presidential and parliamentary elections are now set for March 28.

“Probably at the beginning, we, and I mean myself and the team, we underrated the capacity of Boko Haram,” Jonathan said in an interview with ThisDay.

He said that the military has recently acquired more arms and ammunition to do battle with the Islamists, and had vowed that Boko Haram suppression and the capture of the group’s leader were near.

“God willing, we will catch (Abubakar) Shekau before the elections,” Jonathan said.

Asked why six more weeks would make a difference in the years-long conflict that has killed more than 13,000 people, Jonathan said the military could make reasonable progress in that time.

“We are not saying we must finish Boko Haram to conduct elections, but we should get to a point where they will not cause havoc if they make an attempt,” he said in the interview.

“My belief is that by 28th of next month, when the elections will be conducted, Boko Haram may not even be in a position to attack any town.”

Over one million people have been left homeless since 2009 that Boko Haram is been in operation.

PDP Will Rule Nigeria For The Next 60 Years - Patience Jonathan

The first lady of Nigeria, Dame Patience Jonathan, has declared that the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) will continue to rule Nigeria for the next 60 years. Jonathan, represented by the Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Zainab Maina, spoke at the party’s women rally in Sokoto on Tuesday.

She said that Nigerian women had got their fare share and attention in Jonathan’s administration by holding about 50 per cent of the posts.
“The president has kept all the pledges he made to Nigerian women in 2011 and he will do more if re-elected,” she said.

She further said that the president had 13 women in his cabinet, and had empowered women in many ways. She continued by saying that the president was also working tirelessly to curb the menace of insurgency.

While commending women in the state for their sustained support to the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP), she urged them collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs). “Your PVCs are your power which will help you to cast your votes for the PDP candidates at all levels,” she said.

This, she said, would ensure that women were not disenfranchised to vote. The first lady also called on mothers in the state not to allow their children to be used to cause a breach of the peace before, during and after the general elections.

Meanwhile the first lady has started the distribution of some empowerment materials to women in the state. The materials included 1,200 bags of rice, 5,000 wrappers, 5,000 bundles of guinea brocade, 800 women wears, 2,000 rubber mats, 800 children’s wears and 800 blankets.

S*x Tape Mess: My Boyfriend Has Leaked Our Bedroom Act

She said her dad is a pastor, her mum a deaconess. Her boyfriend has finished her. Her story below:

I am a Law student at Igbinedion University Okada. I had too much to drink at the last LAWSA dinner. The event went on far into the night and ended around 11pm. My friend and course mate suggested that I spend the night in his house which was nearer to the hotel where the event held instead of going home. I accepted because I knew I was tipsy and afraid to head home alone.
I don’t know what happened but I woke up the next morning feeling used. A look at my body confirmed my fears, my panties was nowhere to be found. My Bra was hanging by the door...

I couldn't remember a thing, I was so ashamed of myself and all this boy did was smile like a fool. I asked for my undies and he told me that he helped me wash them as he knew I would need them in the morning. I felt he drugged and raped me because I couldn't recollect anything from immediately after we left the dinner hall. I threatened to report him for rape but he claimed that I actually begged him for s*x. I quickly jumped into my cloths and ran home so confused.

I went home and cried myself silly. I also asked God for forgiveness and took some drugs. I didn't discuss it with my roommate because she had previously warned me against that same guy.

I started avoiding and ignoring him in class. He called me over 1,000 times until I was forced to drop my Sim card. This boy later showed up at my lodge and would not leave. I had to report him to my departmental judicial commission and then to the Anti Cult guys in school. They arrested him and made him sign an undertaking to quit harassing and stalking me.

I don’t know how he got my new number and called me this afternoon. I didn't know it was him so I picked up and then dropped the call immediately I recognized his voice. Then I got the shocker of my life. He sent me an SMS saying that he has my n*de clip which he took that night and that he will print them all and paste them all over the campus since I was taking his love for granted and reported him to Anti Cult.

I called his bluff thinking he was just blabbing. He sent me a photo on whatsapp and it was me lying on his bed stark naked.

I am finished. Anything I do will definitely back fire. My dad will disown me. Please tell me what to do.

My world has crashed!

Female Student's Graduation Stopped By Lecturers Because of S*x

When you see some girls sell their body cheaply to lecturers, it's because if they say NO to the lecturers, it could cause them more problems. This is one of such classical case but I think the girl (victim) kept quiet for too long.

The chairman of ICPC, Mr Ekpo Nta, has revealed that the commission had rescued a female undergraduate of the Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma, in Edo State, who had spent 12 years on campus just because she kept refusing s*xual advances from male lecturers.

Right now, ICPC is working on prosecuting all the lecturers and officials involved in the stupid act.

He said the commission had focused its torchlight on the universities, where it has closed down over 26 illegal degree-awarding institutions and rescued a number of students being victimised.

“There is also a student at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, who had spent eight years in the institution without graduating, as he was being victimised. We got involved and through us, he graduated.”

Mr Nta also said the commission had uncovered 50 companies working with the Federal Ministry of Works, which forged tax certificates.

The ICPC boss, who stated this while appearing before the Senator Victor Lar-led Committee on Committee, said that 50 out of the 156 major contractors to the Ministry of Works had been discovered to have submitted forged tax certificates.

He said the development would have robbed the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) of its needed resources if the deal was not uncovered.

Mr Nta also explained that the commission had been able to track some Nigerians who specialised in cloning official passports, adding the 375 international passports had so far been seized.

He said: “We have seized official passports meant for top civil servants being used by traders. We have done serious work on that. I have seized about 375 international passports which we have published.”

My Girlfriend's Love For Money Pushed Me Into Robbery – Armed RobberConfesses

As you read this, operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Enugu State police command, have arrested Uchenna Ikwuegbu who was allegedly on the verge of launching a robbery attack on residents of Maryland axis of Enugu.

Uchenna was arrested on February 16, following surveillance reports. He was arrested with a locally-made pistol, cut to seize with two live cartridges. 

In his confession, Uchenna said:

“I acquired the gun from a timber mill at Maryland. The urge to meet up with the demands from my girlfriend, Chinaza, living at Uwani axis of Enugu, propelled me into robbery.

“I had acquired the gun to unleash robbery attacks on residents of Maryland in order to dispossess them of their valuables. I was on the verge of carrying out the act when the operatives swooped on me. I do not know how they knew I was carrying a gun. I am so ashamed of myself now. I do not know what led me into this.

“My parents are crying their hearts out over this incident. They are so disappointed in me. I want to call on teenagers like me to shun robbery and other nefarious activities because the security operatives are always watching.”

EXPOSED: Why Jonathan & PDP Are Very Angry with Jega

There were revelations in Abuja on Monday on why President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were angry with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega.

A week-long investigation by PUNCH in Abuja showed that the President and his party are not happy with Jega over his insistence that the commission would use the Permanent Voter Cards for the election.

Apart from this, the President and the party were also angry that the commission was going ahead with its decision to use card readers.

The PVCs were used for the conduct of the governorship elections in both Ekiti and Osun states.

The car reader was however not used in both Ekiti and Osun states elections.

The commission has said that the card reader can only read PVC issued by INEC and that any person that shows up at the polling unit with a PVC not issued by INEC will not be able to vote.

It was learnt that the Presidency and the ruling party were not totally against the use of the PVCs, but they were not happy with the use of card readers.

A worker in the Presidency who spoke with PUNCH queried the insistence of INEC under the leadership of Jega to go ahead with the two items.

He said, “Now, what we are saying is that yes, the PVCs were used in both Ekiti and Osun governorship elections but the way and manner the PVCs are being distributed now is suspicious.

“Look at the figure of those who have collected from the northern part of the country and look at the figure from the southern part, where President Jonathan hails from.

“If the election is going to be by ethnic sentiment alone, you will know that our President has been defeated already. So, that’s the reason.

“Look at Ogun and Lagos states, which we all know are politically sophisticated. Why are the electorates not picking their PVCs? We are worried.”

In terms of PVCs collection, figures released by the commission indicated that Ogun State is lagging behind among all the states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory.

In the state, only 808,590 out of the 1,829,534 registered voters had collected their PVCs. This figure represents a mere 44.20 percent.

But the commission said that 1,387,401 PVCs had been delivered to the state.

Lagos State with 5,822,207 registered voters had recorded 63.44 percent of the PVCs collection. This shows that 3,693,355 of the cards had been picked by their owners.

But the commission said that 5,558,062 cards had been delivered for voters in the state.

This means that there are 1,864,707 PVCs yet to be picked by their owners in the state.

Popular Pastor Caught With Hard Drugs Worth N609m in Lagos

The NDLEA, Murtala Muhammed International Airport command, has apprehended Prophet Michael Raji, a popular Lagos based pastor, for drug trafficking.

It was learnt that Raji, who is pastors a white garment church at Ikotun in Lagos, was arrested at about 12pm on Monday while he was trying to smuggle 174 kilogrammes of narcotic drugs to South Africa.

NDLEA said three international passports bearing different names were also recovered from him.

A team later led Pastor Raji to the church, where bags containing 91kg of Methamphetamine and 83kg of Ephedrine with an estimated value of N609m were recovered.

It was also learnt that a jeep was impounded during the operation.

It was gathered that a preliminary investigation indicated that the suspect was a member of a wanted drug syndicate operating in Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa.

The 60-year-old pastor told investigators that he was tempted to the act by the devil. He said, “I received the drugs from my friend and I kept them in the church since October 2014. This is a great temptation for me and I pray to God to overcome it.”

NDLEA Commander at the airport, Mr. Hamza Umar, described the Pastor as a "smooth operator."

Umar said, “The drugs were brought to the airport for export to South Africa. Investigation eventually traced the movement of the drugs to his church premises where he was arrested. He had three international passports bearing his photographs with the names Michael Raji and Kadigun Ola.

“It was equally discovered that the church premises, where he ministers, also serves as a warehouse for narcotics. The seized drugs, concealed inside large bags of foodstuffs, were found to contain 91kg of Methamphetamine and 83kg of Ephedrine with an estimated street value of N609m.”

The Chairman of the agency, Ahmadu Giade, said the seizure was phenomenal and promised that the pastor and his fleeing accomplices would be brought to book.
