'My wife is from Cape Verde, why I married her' Adams Oshiomhole
Yesterday May 15th, Edo state governor Adams Oshiomhole
married his gorgeous wife, Lala Fortez. Speaking about her
nationality and why he chose her, the 63 year old former
Labour leader said;
"I have seen a lot of publications, some saying that she is
Philippine, Dutch and several others, but she is from
Cape Verde. And that is part of West Africa. And I hope
that will rest the debate of where she is from,” he said
regarding her nationality.
About why he chose her, the governor said
"She is very humble, she appreciates the nature of my job
and life that it is one that one comes back home late.
Sometimes 3: 00 a.m., she understands my weaknesses,
she is more or less the mother of the house, the one that
has accepted to be the mother of my children. I am
happy that all my children are at home with her and
accept her as their mother even though she is not old
enough to be their mother. She has accepted to fill that
gap,” he told PM news

Lagos State uses 40% of power generated nationally - VP Sambo
Speaking during the unveiling of the Niger Delta Power
Holding Company Limited Oke-Aro 330/132kV transmission
substation in Lagos yesterday Friday May 15th, Vice
President Namadi Sambo who was represented by the
Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, said The Ikeja
Electricity Distribution Company and Eko Electricity
Distribution Company account for over 40% of power
consumption in Nigeria.
He said this was understandable from the fact that Lagos,
which used to be the country’s capital remained Nigeria’s
commercial and industrial hub with a large concentration of
industries in Lagos state and Ogun State. Oke-Aro is situated
in a border line between Lagos and Ogun states.
“Prior to the advent of Oke-Aro substation, there were
only three 330/132/33kV substations in Lagos. One of
these three is Ikeja West 330/132/33kV substation which
was the major marshalling point for all power plants that
flow their generation into Lagos, and this development
had thrown the state into a state of great congestion with
limited space for safe expansion of capacity for increased
flows into Lagos and environs.
“All the 330kV power lines from the Benin and Oshogbo
330kV hubs of the national grid, which were also serving
as evacuation lines for NIPP new power plants at
Omotosho as well as Olorunsogo, terminated there. Even
330kV evacuation lines for older major power plants such
as Egbin in Lagos also terminated at Ikeja West.”

Buhari should not be sworn in with the Quran - Etcetera writes
Singer turned writer Etcetera doesn't think Buhari should
swear with the Quran. Hmm. Read below
A lot of Nigerians do not know that Nigeria is a secular
state and they are also not aware that the Constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria does not require that
Buhari take his oath of office by swearing with the Quran.
The drafters of the constitution made it crystal clear that
any Nigerian of any faith or no faith can hold any office. It
would have been very easy for the constitution drafters to
include it in our constitution that the president should be
sworn in with the Quran. But they didn’t. In other words,
placing a hand on a Quran while reciting the presidential
oath is simply a tradition that is not backed by the
constitution. Meaning, it is absolutely unnecessary.
On Friday May 29, the Constitution requires that Buhari
gives this oath of office: “I, Muhammadu Buhari, do
solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of
President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and will to the
best of my ability preserve, protect, and defend the
Constitution.” So, why should Buhari swear with a Quran?
Why shouldn’t he place his hand on the Nigerian
Constitution- the very document he’s promising to “preserve,
protect and defend?”
There’s is a gargantuan barrier between religion and state
and Buhari should demonstrate that he recognises this fact
by taking his oath of office with his hand on the constitution
instead of the Quran. His loyalty should be to the nation’s
laws above all else.
A lot of people will argue that Buhari swearing with the
Quran ensures that he adheres to his oath. But let’s be
truthful to ourselves: We have seen elected officials swear to
uphold the laws of our country with their hands on the
Quran and go on to steal billions of naira and break laws
like crazy. It all comes down to the individual’s moral code,
not a few seconds oath.
My objection is not only against the Quran. I would hold the
same view if it were the Bible, the Book of Mormon or any
other religious scripture. The drafters of the constitution
made it clear that the Nigerian Constitution, “shall be the
supreme law of the land.” It is the living legacy they
bestowed upon us. It is the framework for our government.
And as such, that’s the document our president should place
his hand on. It should be clear to us on May 29 that the
president views the Constitution as our nation’s alpha and
omega. As a matter of fact, your religion doesn’t matter
when you are taking a position in office because religion has
nothing to do with running a country.
I personally think that being sworn in with any kind of
religious testament is a waste of time and useless. A lot of
people in the out-going government were sworn in with the
Bible but did they deliver any of the things they promised
the country?
To some people, it doesn’t matter whether the president-
elect is sworn in with the Quran. They’re probably used to
seeing it happen. We just take it for granted that it is the way
things have always been done, but it doesn’t necessarily
make it right. In my opinion, any elected leader in any
secular country like ours is voted in to represent everyone in
that country. So why not swear with a document that means
something to everyone, such as the constitution? Wouldn’t
that make more sense, instead of swearing with a religious
document that only represents a chunk of the population?
Imagine if a Juju priest was elected President, would it be
okay for him to be sworn in with ‘sango, orunmila or
amadioha’ or some other work written about atheism?
Would it be okay for an ogboni president to be sworn in with
the ogboni book of sacred covenant? I am a Catholic and I
believe completely in not swearing with the Bible because
there are multiple religions in the country and swearing with
a Bible will not cause the sacred binding to the truth if the
person swearing does not share a religion with the Bible.
The Bible does not have the same meaning to every person.
So it shouldn’t be counted as a true binding document.
Finally, we shouldn’t also forget that oath taking of any kind
is absolutely forbidden by the Bible:
“But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven,
for it is God’s throne; or by the earth, for it is his footstool;
or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. And do
not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair
white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’;
anything beyond this comes from the evil one.” – Matthew
5:34-37

PDP encouarges Buhari to be compassionate to everyone
National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
yesterday urged the President- elect, General Muhammadu
Buhari, retd to see himself as a father of the nation who
should live like late South Africa President, Nelson Mandela
and forgive killers and arsonists.
Speaking with Journalists in Abuja, PDP deputy National
Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus who was responding to
General Buhari’s comment when some stakeholders and
traditional rulers from Rivers state visited him Wednesday,
said that as the President- elect, he should comment as a
father on issues that may be brought before him, rather
than take sides especially on issues awaiting adjudication
and before a panel of inquiry or the judiciary.
According to PDP, Buhari needs to try to deal with such
issues with passion of a father to all irrespective of party
affiliation, adding that such utterances do not portray him as
an elder statesman. Secondus said, ” the utterances of the
President -elect when he received a delegation of some
traditional rules from Rivers state do not portray him as a
statesman. He is the president-elect and indeed the father of
all. He should exercise caution and restraints in some
issues, especially when such issues are still in court.
“The election tribunals in the country and even in Rivers
state have just commenced sitting and unguarded
statements could be seen as prejudicial and give negative
signals. “The president-elect should emulate the late
President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela who assumed
office as president of South Africa at such a critical time in
the history of South Africa.” The PDP Deputy National
Chairman who noted that it was unfair for Buhari to make
such claims and statements when the issues involved,
including the integrity of the governorship election in the
state was subject of election tribunal, said, “He is the
president -elect and soon to be sworn in as the President of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not the president of the
APC.”

his older brother planted two home-made bombs near the
finishing line of the Boston race, killing people and causing
grave injury. Some lost their legs. His brother later died in a
shootout with police.
Dzhokhar had faced a 30-count indictment, with 17 of the
charges carrying the death penalty. The jury at his trial today
said they were unanimous on six of counts that Tsarnaev

The Glory Of Womanhood Gone Where?
Back then when the dignity and pride of womanhood was
something worth nurturing. Nevertheless, a lot has lost the
values that comes with it on a platter of foolishness. While
others have slim reasons that warrant such lose, the rest -
which happens to be the greater populace bears no reasons
for their actions, not even regret. Each day I ponder why the
transit decay of morals amongst our mothers of tomorrow.
However, its easier for a camel to pass the eye of a needle
than a girl in her mid-20's still virtuous. I wonder! Today's
girls practice what I call "Street-whorish". Amidst this,it is
only fair to accost men as being the reason for this menace
but I disagree. Why blame Men for an action which u
instigated? Why wear revealing apparels just to express
beauty? No one born of a woman can deny the beauty
bestow in every woman. Then why show it 'freely'. It took
something for you as a woman to be made. It cost God
something of Adam to make you. Now u offer it to every man
and harry that comes by. The original plan of God was for u
to honor ur husband with that virtue which every other men
desire, that which other men is willing to live or die getting...
I may not be worthy to say this to you but as long as you do
read this, and with the pricking of heart, do make Amend.
That lost virtue can still be gotten if you wud STOP and make
amend NOW!

Jonathan's government is the most corrupt govt in Nigeria's history- Dino Melaye
“Jonathan is the promoter of corruption. I am telling you that the Government of Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is the most corrupt in Nigerian history but who we have as president-elect of this country today, Muhammadu Buhari, the man I see as the nemesis of corruption. I am an advocate of anti-corruption and for me if I enter office, I am going to do it more this time around. More importantly, now that we have a government that is going to have zero tolerance for corruption, we must as legislators carry out our functions from any form of sacrifice.” he said
