Niger Delta militants meet in Yenagoa, threaten war should Jonathan lose presidential election

Prominent Niger Delta
militants have vowed to
ensure that President
Goodluck Jonathan wins the
February 14 presidential
election.
Mr. Jonathan is of the Ijaw
ethnic stock, and the only
member of a minority tribe
from the South to have ever
governed Nigeria.
The former militants, who
said any attempt to dethrone
the President would be seen
as a direct attack on the Ijaw
nation, threatened to
unleash violence on the
country and take back Niger
Delta oil should Mr.
Jonathan lose re-election.
According to them the
President’s victory in the
election is not negotiable.
The former militant leaders
took the position Friday in
Government House,
Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State
capital, at an enlarged
meeting that was attended
by all the former militant
leaders and their followers
across the Niger Delta
region.
Among those in attendance
were Mujahid Dokubo-Asari,
leader, Niger Delta Peoples
Volunteer Force; Victor Ben
Ebikabowei, aka, Boy Loaf;
and Government
Ekpudomenowei, aka,
Tompolo.
Also in attendance were the
Special Adviser to the
President on Niger Delta
Affairs, and chairman of
Amnesty Implementation
Committee, Kingsley Kuku;
Bayelsa state Governor,
Seriake Dickson and his
deputy; President General of
Ijaw Youth Council, Udengs
Eradiri; among others.
Addressing the meeting,
Dokubo-Asari deplored the alleged
intimidation being meted to the people
of Ijaw stock in Nigeria, saying the
people cannot take it any longer.
”For every Goliath, God created a David.
For every Pharoah, there is a Moses.
“We are going to war. Everyone of you
should go and fortify yourself,’’ he said.
He advised those at the meeting to be
ready for the battle ahead and declared
that Mr. Jonathan would win reelection.
Mr. Dokubo-Asari, who condemned the
attack on Jonathan in the north in the
ongoing presidential campaigns,
maintained that the survival of the Ijaw
nation rests in the hands of the militants
gathered at the meeting.
On his part, Boyloaf condemned the
attack on President Jonathan in the
north, saying nobody has the monopoly
of violence.
He said there is nothing like one Nigeria,
pointing out that oil is the only thing
binding Nigeria’s diverse nationalities
together.
While maintaining that President
Jonathan would win the election, he
however said if the north takes the
power away from Mr. Jonathan, the
people of the Niger Delta region would
take their oil back.
He stressed the need for oneness of
purpose among the people, urging them
to keep their grudges aside and face the
present challenges facing the Ijaw nation
with solidarity.
”Keep grudges and sentiments apart. We
are ready to match them bumper to
bumper,” Boyloaf said.
In his remark, Governor Dickson thanked
the former militant leaders for their
resolve to back the re-election of
President Jonathan with greater vigour
and assured them that he would relate
their position to the President.
He urged them to resist the temptation of
being recruited by the opposition to
destabilize the state.
The governor also charged them to shun
propaganda and blackmail.

Postpone next month's elections - NSA Dasuki tells INEC

National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has
called on the Independent National Electoral
Commission to postpone next month's general
election so that the commission can completely
distribute the Permanent voters card to
prospective voters.
Dasuki gave this advice while speaking at
London think-tank Chatham House today
January 22nd. He said a postponement within
the three months allowed by the law would be a
good idea so that all issues bordering on the
distribution of permanent voters card as well as
elections holding in some part of North eastern
Nigeria would be adequately addressed.

The Internet Will Disappear -
Says Google Exec...
Google's executive chairman Eric
Schmidt has predicted the end of the
Internet .
Speaking at the World Economic Forum
in Davos,  Switzerland, he was asked for
his prediction on the future of the Web.
He explained, according to Hollywood
Reporter.....
'I will answer very simply that the
Internet will disappear,''There will be
so many IP addresses…so many devices,
sensors, things that you are wearing,
things that you are interacting with that
you won't even sense it,'
'It will be part of your presence all the
time.'Imagine you walk into a room,
and the room is dynamic.'And with
your permission and all of that, you are
interacting with the things going on in
the room.'A highly personalized, highly
interactive and very, very interesting
world emerges.'
On millions losing jobs,he said
'It's the same thing that happened when
people stopped farming and started
using tractors.'They find new skills and
services.'So while there is an enormous
assumption that this time it's different.

How we built mansions,multi- million naira ventures from N100m robbery

The Lagos State Police Command has
arrested eight suspected members of a
trans-border robbery gang, among them
a 59-year-old man, who confessed to
have carried out robbery operations in
Benin Republic, Mali, among other
countries within West Africa. The gang’s
recent operation was reportedly carried
out in a bank in Porto Novo, Benin
Republic, where over N100 million was
carted away.
Recovered from the suspects were two
AK-47 rifles, 11 AK-47 loaded magazines
and their operational vehicle, a Toyota
Sienna bus, which has an inbuilt
compartment where weapons are kept.
Briefing newsmen on the arrest
yesterday, Lagos State Police
Commissioner, Kayode Aderanti, said:
“On December 15, 2014, at
about11:30p.m., I received information
about some deadly trans-border armed
robbers in Iba, Festac and Igando areas
and immediately directed the Officer
in-Charge of the Special Anti-Robbery
Squad, Abba Kyari, to go after them.
“Thereafter, two SARS decoy teams, led
by Kyari, stormed the robbers’ hideout
at Victory Estate, Iba, along Lasu-Igando
Road, where Samuel Igbi, 59, Anthony
Umeh, 38, were arrested.
“Their confessions led to the arrest of
the following gang members: Chineye
David, 29; Uchenna Eze, 35; Victor
Anamalechi, 45; Ifeanacho Igwe, 35;
Desmond Obinna, 32, and Nnamdi John,
42.
“John is the armourer and gang leader,
from whom the operational vehicle,
with number plate KSF876CU and two
AK-47 rifles with serial numbers
3610142 and UR4341, hidden in a
specially constructed compartment
underneath the vehicle, were recovered.
“The suspects confessed to several
robberies, including a bank robbery in
Porto Novo, Benin Republic; a filling
station and a bureau de change in Mali;
attempted robbery of UBA Shagamu
Road, Ikorodu; several robberies in Port
Harcourt and Kano.
“The biggest of them all is the N100
million successful robbery at Alakija
area of Lagos, from which John built a
mansion at Igando area of Lagos.
“Igwe also built a duplex in his village
in Onicha council of Ebonyi State”
Parading the suspects before newsmen,
suspected leader of the gang, John, a
trader at the popular Alaba
International Market, narrated how the
Porto Novo, Benin Republic bank
operation was carried out.He said:
“We went to Benin Republic in our
operational space bus at night, after
receiving information from one of our
members, Onyema.
“We entered through the back and tied
the two security guards that were asleep
with strings. Thereafter, we located the
vault and collected as much money as
we could lay our hands on before
leaving the place. We did not kill
anybody.At the end of the operation, I
got N7 million; Victor got N7 million;
Onyeka, N3 million; Igwe, N3 million. I
used part of my share to buy a Toyota
Corolla car and invested the remaining
in my music instrument business.
“I have participated in several robberies
since I joined the gang in 2011. In one
of the operations at a filling station in
Mali, I got N18 million. I handled one of
the guns, but have not killed anyone.We
do not shoot during operations outside
the country because police do not patrol
at night,” said the secondary school
drop-out.
My specialty are vaults—Victor
Another suspect, Victor, told journalists
that his role was to open vaults during
operations, boasting that there was no
vault too hard for him to open.
He said:
“Anytime we went on operation, my
role is to open the vaults. I use a special
metal to open the lock of the vault, even
if it had special codes.I bought three
vehicles from the loots; two for me and
one for my wife.”
He lamented that if he knew he would
meet his waterloo, he would not have
gone to meet one of the gang’s members
at Apple Junction in Festac Town.
Fifty-nine years old Samuel Igbi, who
initially claimed he had nothing to do
with the other suspects, later confessed
that his house was used as a base for
sharing loots at the end of every
operation.
He added that he was usually given
between N20,000 and N50,000.
On his part, Ifeanacho Igwe said he
used part of his loot to buy three trucks,
which were currently working for him.
The CP said the suspects would be
charged to court, when strike is called
off, warning criminals to stay away
from Lagos, or suffer same fate.

Why I killed Married Lover I met on Badoo-Port Harcourt based lady confesses

28-year-old Okadigbo is in police net for
killing her married lover she met on
social networking site, Badoo..
She met the deceased who is from Ondo
State on the site in 2013 and they kicked
off a relationship without knowing he
was a married man and had hopes of
getting married to him till she found out
that he was already taken and in a fit of
jealousy, organized his murder.
Her lover,Bankole Charle,an oil worker
with Halliburton Nigeria Limited,
Bankole Charles, must have thought he
was playing with an ordinary woman
when he met Loretta Odikagbo..Little
did he know that the affair would end
his life .
It all started when she found out that
Charles was married and when she
confronted him, he owned up to it but
promised to buy her a car as
compensation but when he failed to
fulfil his promise, Okadigbo enlisted the
help of one Ime Francis Moses, and
another man who is still at large and
stormed his Woji, Port Harcourt, Rivers
State residence, and ended his life.
Odikagbo, an Ordinary National
Diploma holder in Marketing from the
River State Polytechnic (RIVPOLY), and
Moses, a university drop out, are now
languishing in the cells of the State
Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID), after they were arrested
following the murder of Charles.
The SCID team traced Odikagbo to the
residence of her other boyfriend whom
she was putting up with at
Rumukpokwu, Obio/Akpor Local
Government Area on December 10, last
year.
Odikagbo confessed to her crime:
"I was arrested over the death of
my boyfriend, late Charles Bankole.
I conspired with my friend and
took my in-law to his house to
harass him so I could get some
money from him, which led to his
death, but I was not there when he
died.
I was at the Automated Teller
Machine (ATM). There is a third
person that can tell the story of how
he died but unfortunately, he has
not been arrested. So, he is not here
now. This story can’t be complete if
the third person is not arrested.
I am 28 years. I met Bankole on the
internet. I initially did not know
that Bankole was married; overtime
I discovered. He actually promised
to settle things with me. He talked
about buying a car. When I hinted
this to my in-law (Ime), he said he
had a way to help me get what I
wanted from him and I conceded to
the idea.
On the agreed day, I moved into
Bankole’s house and waited for them
there. He came with another of his
friend. I opened the door for them.
They came in.His junior started tying
Bankole up. Ime was holding a torch
which they came with because this
happened in the night and there was no
electricity supply and it was raining
heavily.
At a point, I decided to go to the
ATM with his (Bankole’s) card to
withdraw some money from his
bank account. One of the two men
decided to go with me. So, my in-
law (Ime) was left behind with
Bankole who was still alive when
we left.
He (Ime) later met me at the ATM
point to get some money from me.
He informed me that he called a
taxi driver to carry some things
from Bankole’s house. I told him
that I was going because it was
already late at night.
I was arrested on December 10,
brought here (at the SCID), and
showed picture of lifeless body of
Bankole. I don’t know who killed
him. The relationship lasted for
over a year. I am not so certain
because we related a long time on
the Internet before we met in real
life."
On her reaction that the late man was
married, she said:
"I was not actually angry, but he
did not just tell me he was married.
We never discussed marriage.
At a point, we were serious with the
relationship but when I discovered
his marital status, I was
disappointed and decided to pull
out to continue with my life but he
insisted on buying me a car instead
to calm me down. That was what
happened.I feel so terrible and
primitive. I am guilty of the crime.
Bankole was my first Internet
boyfriend; I am not used to meeting
people on the Internet or Facebook.
I blame my action on hanging out
with wrong friends."
But the Eket-born Ime gave a different
account on how Charles died, making it
clear that it was Loretta that actually
killed him.Hear his account:
"Loretta called and informed me
that her boyfriend owed her some
money, which he was supposed to
use and settle her out of their
broken relationship but he was
turning her up and down.
I promised to help her get the
money out from the man. On the
day agreed, she called me and
picked me up at my street junction,
from where we proceeded to pick
another boy she had earlier called
for the job, but the boy came and
declined going with us.
On our way out from the boy’s
junction, we met another boy who I
know that loads taxi at the junction
there. I called him and she
explained to him what she wanted
to do that night; he agreed to go
with us.
When we got to the man’s house, she
went in while we stood under the
staircase of the one-storey building he
shared with other occupants, waiting
for her instructions. I was holding a
torch light which she gave me money to
buy and a holding a car window
winder, which looked like a gun, while
the boy was holding a rope and
cellotape she brought.After a while, she
came and opened the door for us. We
got in through the kitchen, where we
stood before she called us to come to the
bedroom where she was with the man.
When we stepped into the room, I
pointed the torch light on the man
and told him that he befriended our
sister for such a period of time, and
pushed her out empty and without
shelter, no settlement.
The man pleaded that we should
wait, that he was going to settle her.
At that point, she started to slap the
man all over his face and used the
tape to tape his mouth, after which
the other boy tied his legs and
hands.
It was then she asked the man for his
ATM card and pin; she got them and
went to the ATM point with the boy,
while I was left with the man in case the
pin failed. While they left for the ATM,
they carried the man’s phone and
laptop.
After a while, she came back to me
at the man’s house. I asked her to
come let us go, she said, ‘no’, that
the man knows her very well, that
if we should leave him at this
junction, he will definitely come
after her, and that when he gets
her, she will mention my name. She
asked if I will like to be arrested, I
said ‘no’.
She now went to the man’s kitchen
and brought polythene bag which
she wore on the man’s head and sat
on it. As the man was struggling, I
held his head until the man was
motionless.
She gave me N28, 000 only. I feel
very guilty for the action."

OBJ speaks on Buhari`s certificate saga!

"The truth of the matter is that Jonathan is aware
that Buhari is qualified to contest for President
Election but some hawks with Jonathan, do not
want him to contest because they believed that he
will win and come for them. The issue came up in
2007, and we investigated and found out that his
WASEC is with the military and that was why he
was allowed to contest in 2007.
Buhari cannot listen to anyone about his
certificates because as a General of Nigeria Army,
he will speak when he chooses not by Femi Fani
Kayode and Okupe asking him. Fayose and other
corrupt people including Kashamu do not want
Buhari because of his anti- corruption slogan. Even
Jonathan did not finish his PhD course but when it
was presented we stated that, it does not matter
but many people do not know because it was PDP
thing.
I see Buhari as the next President and Jonathan is
aware of that, and that is the reason they are
hitting him everywhere to put confusion in his
camp. But a General is always a General…."
