XENOPHOBIC BACKLASH: NIGERIAN YOUTHS SEEK VENGEANCE


Its reprisal time; and  there is little time left;  from Lagos to Abuja, angry  youths spilled into the streets descending on enterprises suspected to belong to South Africans; the reason is obvious: the reckless killings of innocent Nigerians in South Africa. Video footages of brutal murders of Nigerians have continued to pour in unrestrained; the videos flagrantly displays street urchins attacking and burning down Nigerian shops in Johannesburg, Cape Town, etc. The latest being the coordinated march by a group of violent miscreants suspected to be Zulu hostel dwellers who besieged Jules street in Johannesburg looting and burning shops and businesses with Nigerians being the victims. The report shows they were organized, deliberate and vicious in the attacks. And this has ignited the rage with a popular Shoprite mall in Osakpa London in Lekki, some MTN offices in the mainland becoming the first of victims. In Abuja, the shopping mall along the airport road was hurriedly barricaded by the Police as mobs prepared to unleash vengeance.  In Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, the backlash took out MTN properties worth millions of naira. In response, other nations like Zambia and Rwanda have cancelled their participation in the coming World summit to be held in South Africa to register their displeasure.

2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS SHOCKING REVELATIONS ABOUT FUNDS DISBURSEMENT

How the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan frittered away the nation’s scarce resources is beginning to spill out – despite the shrill insistence by ex-Finance Minister, Okonjo Iweala that the records sheet were clean! Information pieced together by our investigators show that several paramilitary Agencies under the Federal Ministry of Interior shared a record 10 billion each for the purpose of influencing the March 28 General Elections in favour of the defeated incumbent.   However, things did not go down well with the ranks and file during the sharing. Outgoing Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Boss (name withheld) was said to have misappropriated the huge booty by allegedly pocketing 5 billion for himself, while declaring the other half (5 billion) as the sum total.   The bone of contention was that while the rank and file received 40,000 each some key associates close to the big guns went home with a hefty slice.   Causing the rumble.

OPEN LETTER TO HON. BABATUNDE FASHOLA

Permit me to go straight to the point.  All protocols observed Sir.  I note your massive achievement in your days as Governor of Lagos State.  And it is widely believed that your appointment as Minister of Works, Housing and Power would witness same admirable face-lift. As down to earth investigating Journalist, we travel a lot and wish to bring to your notice certain critical roads that need your urgent attention. One of them is the Lokoja-Okene highway.  Honorable Minister, the continued state of this road is a serious indictment and slap on the face of whoever is the Director of Federal Highways in your Ministry.  This major artery, as important as it is, has caused several unnecessary loss of lives.  There is simply no excuse for this road to remain in this dangerous state two years into the tenure of this administration.  What then differentiates the APC Government from the PDP, if not prompt attention to vital national assets? Seco...

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...
