Governor Adams Oshiomohle Survived Assasination Attempt

Governor Adams Oshiomhole, on Thursday, survived an assassination attempt when gunmen attacked his motorcade while he was campaigning at Usen town, Ovia South West Local Government Area of the state.

Oshiomhole, who is vying for a second term in office as the candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), had visited the traditional ruler of Usen, Oluogbe II, and was on his way back when the attack occurred.


The state's Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Louis Odion, confirmed the incident. "At about 6pm local time, Governor Oshiomhole’s convoy left the palace; it had not travelled too far down the road when it ran into a barricade," he said. "Naturally, the security details attached to the governor came down to remove the bar. As they were clearing the place, tens of heavily armed thugs emerged from nowhere and opened fire on the governor for several seconds.

Dutifully, the brave security details attached to the governor, supported by an additional contingent of regular policemen deployed to maintain law and order, rose to the occasion. They were able to shield the governor, key government functionaries and others, including leaders of Edo ACN to safety without sustaining any human casualties. But several official vehicles, including Toyota Landcruisers, Hilux pick-up van and Toyota Corolla saloon car were either badly damaged or riddled with bullets."

According to Odion, after the attack was repelled, the gunmen descended on the near-by police post and vandalised it. He also accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state of being behind the attack.

"The Edo State Government wishes to condemn this latest assault on Governor Oshiomhole in strongest terms and urge the national leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to call their members in Edo State to order," he said. "The misguided elements in the rank in Edo State should realise that not only they have the monopoly of violence.

But for the uncommon restraint displayed by the Governor’s team in the face of sheer provocation, there could have been heavy casualty toll. The state government wishes to enjoin the good people of Edo to remain calm and be law-abiding, so as not to play into the hands of those bent on plunging the state into anarchy to escape imminent defeat at the polls."

Jonathan Jets Out To Belgium, Abandons Crucial ECOWAS Parley

President Goodluck Jonathan departed Abuja for Brussels today after the Federal Executive Council meeting, to deliver a speech at a Customs conference in Belgium.

Mr. Jonathan's trip is basically a jamboree organized by the Director of Customs, who reportedly bribed Jonathan's wife and his Chief of Staff, Mike Oghiadome, to ensure the President’s appearance at the event.

Last week, Mr. Jonathan was severely criticized by civil society activists and opposition groups, for leading a vast delegation of 116 officials and hangers-on to the Rio+20 conference in Brazil.


During his third presidential media chat last Sunday, Mr. Jonathan tried to rebut the criticisms, claiming that the widespread attacks in two States in which militants killed over 70 people was not enough reason to prevent him from that trip.

Sources told Saharareporters that this week’s Belgium jamboree will cost Nigeria its prime spot at the Economic Commission for West Africa (ECOWAS) table in Yamassoukro, Cote d’Ivoire.  Mr. Jonathan was expected to be there to represent Nigeria to intervene in the political instability in Mali, where rebels have carved out a den for themselves in the north, and Guinea Bissau, where military bandits upstaged civilian power.

Nigeria, which has lost a lot of political respect in Africa, is leading a 9-nation committee to resolve the conflicts in those two countries.  Instead, Mr. Jonathan opted to go to Brussels with no clear agenda. His large delegation includes Senators, governors, and sundry officials.
The Nigerian Customs Service is footing the bill of several attendees, including paying the first lady special estacodes for the nights she will be in Brussels.

Mrs. Jonathan will leave Brussels for the United States with 36 aides to attend to another jamboree: the First Lady's “Youth Infusion” Summit in Annapolis, Maryland.

The Summit is organized by a group in Maryland that is apparently outside the purview of UNESCO, although it is supported by a non-governmental organization called the UNESCO Center for Peace.  The group’s website shows that only African first ladies from Ghana, Senegal, Liberia, Nigeria, Benin, Ethiopia, Gambia, Kenya, Sierra Leone have been invited.

Curiously, the organizers website -firstladysummit.org was registered and created only six months ago, in January 2012, and has largely pixelated photos of advisors that clearly have nothing to do with UNESCO.

Woman With Two Vaginas, Who lost Her Virginity Twice'

 

An attractive, blonde, British woman recently revealed on a TV talk show that she has two vaginas and turned down a $1 million offer from porn production company Vivid Entertainment

 

Hazel Jones has a condition called uterus didelphys, which caused her to be born with two vagina's, as well as two uterus's and two cervix's. She first discovered her abnormality when her boyfriend noticed something different and advised her to seek professional medical opinion. 

 

Doctors have advised Jones that falling pregnant could be dangerous to her and her unborn babies health. Since she has two uterus's she may become pregnant in both which may lead to premature birth, miscarriage and excessive bleeding. 

 

On the light-hearted side Jones stated that although she would never contemplate starring in a pornographic film but she will gladly show off her condition to curious people.

Springtime On A Parched Earth–By Jude Egbas

I have a fair knowledge of how we got here
Seventy two hours before the first ballot was cast in anger at the last Presidential elections, I put a call through to my folks in the countryside.
“Hello Judey!”, It was my Mum. (Mum is by the way, the only female who retains that ‘sexy’ tinge to her voice while pronouncing my name).
“Hello Mum”, I all but cooed into the mouthpiece. “Who will you be voting for, Mum?”

“Goodluck Jonathan…he is our Man from the South-South….Goodluck to us, Goodluck to all of you in Lagos…Goodluck Nige—reee..yaaaah eh!” (Mum got that last bit from the incumbent President’s campaign jingle at the time).
I had fought back a grimace on the other end of the line. Mum had made her choice of Presidential Candidate, I mused. And if the enthusiasm I discerned from her tone as she broke into that campaign song was anything to go by, I would be better off not convincing her to vote otherwise. So, hoping for the best, I rang my Dad two hours later.


“Hello, Jude”, the old man bellowed. Before I could go on, Dad had reeled me with stories of the marginalization of the South South Region of Nigeria, and how Goodluck Jonathan was going to become an answer to prayers. Dad kept me on the phone for ten minutes, lecturing me in that professorial and all knowing tone, before rounding off with the following lines: “The North and the South West have held us by the jugular for far too long. Convince your friends to vote for Jonathan. Who else would have orchestrated his ascension to the throne after Yar’adua died ,but God? This is indeed the Lord’s doing, My Son!” Schooled in the finest traditions of the Law, my Dad often fancies himself as the Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) that never was. You never won an argument with him, and I quite frankly hadn’t fancied my chances.
Moments after speaking to my Parents, it dawned on me that I had just thrown some precious call time up in the air. Fifteen minutes of being campaigned to was not exactly how I had looked forward to spending my day…..

I have a fair knowledge of how we got here
Seventy two hours before Nigerians took to the polls last April, I was engaged in a political discourse with a few of my colleagues in the office at lunch time. After dissecting all the Presidential candidates on offer, it was evident that the least competent of them all, on paper at least, was the Man from Otueke. A few days before, we had watched in bemusement as he avoided all Presidential debates on TV, only to appear on the NTA a few days later, debating with no one else but himself—it was a monologue which still bores the hell out of me till this day.
“So who are you chaps going to vote for?”, I enquired from my colleagues with an air of triumphalism.

“Well, you know Buhari is a Religious Bigot and Ribadu only fought Obasanjo’s enemies…. The rest are okay”, One of them said, “ but I will vote for Dr Jonathan and not his Party”.
“Why?” I had asked, almost choking now in between mouthfuls.
“He looks gentle, he possesses a Doctorate, and he is from our part of the country—The South South”.
Others didn’t demur. They all hailed from Dr Goodluck Jonathan’s region of the country. Tribalism is still a sad factor in Nigerian politics. I had just been defeated again. At home and abroad, I was becoming a sore loser.

I have a fair knowledge of how we got here
Seventy two hours before polling days in Nigeria, the major Political Parties recruit young men, hand them a pittance and arm them with weapons. Their job description entails ( but is not limited to), snatching ballot boxes into the bushes and stuffing them with already thumb printed ballot papers as the Police watches over them from a safe distance. The Political Party with the most stuffed ballot boxes emerges winner at that polling unit.

A few hours before polling, our country’s major political parties storm the villages with bags of Rice, Maggi, Indomie, Bags of Beans and some cash. Inside local huts and dingy apartments, Ward Chairmen summon the Villagers to appear with bowls and basins. The denizens of the community hearken to the call, pick their share of the ‘booty’, arrive at the polling units on polling days and vote for the ‘Umbrella’( for instance) who gave them the food items a few hours before. On the sidelines, Ward Chairmen dish out instructions on how to vote, to the barely literate men or women.

I have a fair knowledge of how we can get out of here
At some point, we may need to leave the Internet, have a cessation from our ‘annoying rants’ on Twitter and Facebook, desert our smart phones and the comfort of our homes and hit the streets. We may need to hit the streets and scream for change. It won’t arrive easy—this was never going to come as gift-wrapped—but at this point, we have little choice. We have to set ourselves a task of enlightening those men and women who mortgage their franchises for a few morsels of Rice or paltry cash.

We have to hit the streets and set ourselves the task of sensitizing the young men and women about the power of their votes. We have to let them know that for every misplaced vote, the consequence arrives four years later in the form of bad roads, little or no Power supply and poor governance. If one person talks to one person each day, the change we desire may not appear so forlorn after all.

I have a fair knowledge of how we can get out of here
We all have to get politically active again. We must register to vote credible persons, monitor our votes and ensure transparency at the ballot. We have to empty onto the streets on Polling days and quit watching football or movies on the day(s) our collective futures are being decided at the ballot. Our destinies, going forward, lay in our hands.

I have a fair knowledge of how we can get out of here
If over seventy per cent of our country’s Demographics are indeed young people, then we have nothing to fear. Doubtless, we live in an insane society. But this should only spur us on to have a say in sanitizing the system and having our names engraved on the sands of time. I interact with a lot of young people on Social Media daily, and I see and feel the hope in our land. We are like a flush of spring on a very dry land—the last berth and vestiges of hope for our country.

Before 2015, we have to choose between emancipating this land with a spring in our steps or watch the land of our fathers, continue on the path of infamy. We have to decide on whether we want to leave a better country for our Children, or stand at akimbo and watch as our country is being raped before our eyes.
My friends and I will be on the streets in a series of door to door campaigns aimed at restoring the ‘Soul’ to the land of our birth…..Will you join us? Could you please come with us? Could you please join your hands and faith with ours?
