PUZZLE OVER DAME PATIENCE BILLIONS

Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of former President Jonathan, exploits or rather escapades filled the air and print waves recently. True to biblical predictions ,“All things done in the dark shall be brought to light”. But the Expose News would not dwell on the enormity of the scandalous revelation but rather on the morality of the former first lady’s statement –that the money discovered was for her medical bills-and the EFCC shadow boxing exercise. The Expose News gathered that when the news broke out, Dame Patience came out boldly to say the $15 million lodged in four bank accounts was hers and they were meant for payment of her medical bills.

But reporters of the Expose News who went to town to gauge public opinion were shocked at the responses of Nigerians interviewed. Here are some of the views expressed. “That woman thinks Nigerians are fools and can be taken for a ride”, said Dominic Igbadume, a newspaper vendor. From Doris Adukwe, a shop attendant in Garki shopping mall, “$15 million for medical treatment? What type of ailment? Kidney? Breast Cancer? Or tummy tuck? That woman should just keep quiet”, Monday Aweleye said “we never knew she has any terminal disease. But if she has, does she need all that money? Again, for Prince will Arawa “if she can budget this much for medical bills, imagine what she would budget for her residence, companies, relations and estates”. The Expose News gathered that the former first lady has had her hands soiled in nearly every negative aspect of life and like the proverbial greedy monkey has now been trapped!

But for the EFCC to announce that investigations were inconclusive after rubbishing her image on the page of newspapers is unfortunate. Dame Patience has owned up that the money is hers, why develop cold feet at the eleventh hour? This is the

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...

RAPE SAGA: FATOYINBO IN THE CLEAR?

Two months after Busola Dakolo’s rape claim against Mr. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Church (COZA) cracks have begun to appear. When the accusation first broke out in June, the backlash against the stylish COZA lead Pastor was so intense that it snowballed into frenzied demonstration by aggrieved Church members who subsequently barricaded the entrance to both Lagos and Abuja Church premises. It did not take long for him to succumb to one of their demands to step down from the pulpit. But then reporters attached to Newspaperman went to town and began a discreet investigation into the affair. First, the team discovered a “loophole” in Busola’s claim of being raped “ repeatedly ”, noting that the same person cannot be “raped” repeatedly, unless there must have been some sort of 'consent", “collaboration” or “cooperation” in place; something like a paddy paddy affair. Secondly, Fatoyinbo must have been extremely “crazy”, “r...
