INEC Extends Voting Till Sunday

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has directed that elections should to Sunday in areas where the exercise has been marred by glitches.

The Chairman of INEC Committee on Information and Voters Education, Mr. Chris Iyimoga told journalists at the Media Centre of the National Collation Centre in Abuja, that hitches being experienced in some parts of the country in the electoral process means there was no way the Presidential and National Assembly Elections could be concluded today.

“Each REC has been informed to conduct election on Sunday where there are hitches with accreditation or voting. I cannot say exactly the number of states affected but the problems are not in all the states,” said Iyimoga.

According to him, all Resident Electoral Commissioners in the country have been directed to conduct election on Sunday in areas where there were hitches.

He also revealedb that the Commission has relocated all the contents on its website to another site following hacking by some elements.

Other National Commissioners at the briefing were Ishmael Igbani; Muhammadu Wali; Engr. Nuru Yakubu; and Gladys Nwafor.

“No one can really say what went wrong in Otuoke but the machine or the card readers could not capture the fingerprints of the President and the First Lady. Where such a situation, we had to use manual system,” Igbani said.

Crazy! China Tax Policy Forces Couples To Divorce

Twice as many divorced couples are remarrying in China’s financial capital Shanghai as did so before fiscal changes made splitting up a way to avoid property taxes, reports showed Friday.

In 2013 China applied a 20 per cent capital gains tax on the profits owners make from selling residential property, as part of efforts to rein in rampant speculation and prices that were soaring at the time.

But the terms let couples with two properties sell them tax-free under certain conditions if they divorced and put each house into one person’s name — after which they could get back together.

The policy triggered “an avalanche of divorce cases in many cities nationwide”, the China Daily reported.

A total of 17,286 divorced couples remarried each other in Shanghai last year, it said, citing official data. In 2012, before the changes, the figure was only 8,068, according to other reports.

Similar increases have been seen in cities including the Jiangsu provincial capital Nanjing as residents retied the knot “after taking advantage” of the loophole, the China Daily said.

“The extraordinary surge in the remarriage rate shows that a large proportion of those who divorced did so in the fake way,” it quoted Ming Li, deputy director of the China Marriage and Family Counselling Centre, as saying.

Some divorcing couples would bring parents and children along when they filed for separation, she added, “as if the entire family was attending a joyful event”.

In Nanjing, nearly 25,000 divorced couples reunited last year, making up nearly 30 percent of total marriages, the city’s Yangtse Evening Post reported in January.

But new divorces have fallen as the property market has cooled, it said.

Starting from 2010, major Chinese cities limited families to one new apartment purchase and imposed other restrictions, including higher down-payments and mortgage interest rates for second homes, as price rises fuelled public anger.

The measures have been phased out in many areas in recent months as sales volumes drop.

Silverbird Staff Death Update Eyewitness Gives Account On Stabbed Lady

More revelations are beginning to be unveiled concerning the gruesome murder of Aisha Noble-Mustapha, the Silverbird TV staff who was allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend on Saturday, March 14, 2014, at her Ogudu GRA, Lagos, neighbourhood.

The shocking killing of the lady has drawn up a lot of condemnation, especially as she was pregnant but a witness who saw the attack has come out with more facts on what could have transpired.

The eyewitness narrated thus:

"It happened around 8pm on Saturday night. She had gone in after returning from work, and then this man visited her. No one paid attention until we started hearing arguments.

The guy also resides in the estate, he is a married man and we could hear her threatening him, saying she will tell his wife about the pregnancy she had for him.

The man was shouting back, and he got angry when she said she will report to his wife…. but after a while, the argument stopped and there was no more shouting.

Moments later, she ran out of the house with scars all over her body, and while running she fell into the gutter.

That was when neighbors found her. She was still breathing so she was rushed to a specialist hospital along Ogudu road then to the General Hospital in Gbagada, but no one wanted to admit her without a police report…

 Warning: Graphic photo below. 

it was when she was taken to the police station, that she gave up the ghost.

We saw a knife with blood in the compound but by the time the police came to pick up the knife, they didn’t see it again, someone had taken it but I don’t know who.

The guy (married man) was with neighbors all through, running up and down with the good Samaritans but he has now been arrested and is now in detention at Area F Police station close to the estate.

This is so sad; she was a young promising and beautiful woman, she lost her sister just last year.  It’s like it is the guy that rented the apartment for her."

Women Tortured A Man By Burning Hair Tongs And Cigarette Lighter On To His Genitals When They Found Out He Dated Three People At Once

In a Reservoir Dogs’ style, 3 women helped by a man corned another man in a flat—and used burning hair tongs as well as cigarette lighter on his genitals for dating 3 women at the same time…

Surely it’s not a legal crime to date 3 women at the same time—but some find it morally wrong and even if so, torturing a man like this shouldn’t be the punishment.

According to MailOnline, “Lorraine Earles, 47, Natalie Lilley, 19, Leah White, 22, along with male defendant Brendan Teale, 27, had plotted revenge on the victim for allegedly seeing several women at a time and lured him to a flat in Scarborough before strapping him to a chair.

The three women and one man then carried out a prolonged attack on the victim, who was also forced to drink liquid wash before having the hot curling tongs pressed to his genitals.York Crown Court heard one of his tormentors also burnt him with a cigarette lighter as the others laughed and giggled.

During the torture he also had a pizza cutter pressed to his cheek and was punched, kicked and slapped repeatedly.

The court heard Earles bit the man’s ear, pushed his head down to his knees and used a cigarette lighter to burn the back of his neck, before threatening to suffocate him as she put a scarf around his mouth.

She then ordered White to burn his genitals with hair curling tongs before pulling the chair back, causing him to fall backwards onto the floor.”

Though men need to treat women right, it’s inhumane to treat a man so for dating many women at a time.

For their punishment in court,  the website reports that “Earles, of Scarborough, was spared a jail sentence because she had spent five months on remand and was ‘clearly a troubled woman with a history of psychological difficulties’. She was given a two-year community order with supervision, ordered to attend the Women’s Community Project in Scarborough for a 20-day course, and made to pay a £60 victim surcharge.

Teale, of Malton, was jailed for 12 months for actual bodily harm, burglary and the handling offence.

Lilley, of Scarborough, was given a two-year community order with supervision and 100 hours’ unpaid work.White was also given a two-year community punishment and ordered to take part in a 16-day course at the Women’s Community Project.”

Funny Photo: PDP And APC Banner

I could not stop laughing after i saw this campaign advert which was spotted in Ring Road in Benin City, Edo State. PDP and APC are just too much. Their sense of humour is something i can not comprehend. So if they do not insult or discredit each other they can't campaign. God help us in this country. 

APC Campaign Group Chides Jonathan Over Immigration Tragedy Compensation

The ‘I AM READY’ campaign organisation of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has chided the Federal Government for remebering to compensate relations of the Nigerian Immigration job tragedy, a year after the incident happened.

Speaking at a protest in Lekki, Lagos on Sunday to commemorate the incident, a medical doctor and member of the group, Dr. Wale Oyebanjo said the presidents action is a scam because it is belated and close to election period.

Oyebanjo explained that about 19 people died in the incident and the government belatedly decided to give them N5m each, amounting to N95m while it pockets the balance of the N6b it generated during the recruitment exercise.

“ Over N6b was paid by the job seekers and the government is paying N95m. That is a good business for them. We are here to say that we are tired of this deceit.

The People who also carried out the botched recruitment exercise have kept their jobs and were seen soldier to soldier with the President sharing out cheques to the families of the applicants who lost their lives.

That is why the volunteers came out en masse to say that on March 28, we are changing the leadership of this country. We are putting to an end corruption, unemployment and we are voting in the right set of people”, he declared.

Also, the spokesman of the group, Kingsley Binitie stated that the group in addition to commemorate the recruitment tragedy, came out with a 200 metre Banner which was held by 400 volunteers as part of their own contribution to the Buhari/Osinbajo campaign.

“It means that if there was no election March 28, the President won’t remember his own promises to the families of those who lost their loved ones during the immigration job tragedy. We heard that it was a member of the National Assembly that had the contract. Now

the National Assembly is not saying anything about it. We want change, that is why we are supporting Buhari. He will kick out corruption, indiscipline and engender good governance”, he declared.

Other speakers at the rally includes Dotu Adebayo and Ireti Bakare-Yusuf.

Adebayo who is the Social Media coordinator of the group said they came out to remind Nigerians what happened a year ago when about 19 persons lost their lives because they want to get a job in the Immigration. “Till date, nobody has been brought to book about that incident and we are here to tell the government that we remembered exactly what happened and to commiserate with those who lost their loved ones.

“If you recall, a certain amount of money was given to them a year after. What happened all these while? Is it because election is at the corner? In fact, we are ready for change in this country”, he stated.

Bakare-Yusuf commended the group for campaigning for change and urged everyone to be part of it. 

“The president is campaigning all over the country in the recent times trying to galvanise votes. But it was in some of the cities that he is visiting that some of the graduates died a year ago and the minister hasn’t lost his job, there was no sort of redress until a day ago. Just like the Chibok girls, the government suddenly realised they died trying to get a job and is giving them money now. First and foremost, that is a year too late; secondly, N5m is not going to feed you forever”, she said, adding that the country needs change on account of those issues.

TB Joshua Speaks On Real PDP, APC; Predicts Plane Crash

On Sunday 15th March 2015, Nigerian cleric T.B. Joshua gave a warning to Nigerians over the upcoming elections, further adding that he foresaw an imminent plane crash within Nigeria.

“Pray for Nigeria because I am seeing a plane crash,” Joshua stated in a service televised live via Christian channel Emmanuel TV. “It’s not a good thing to lose personalities again,” he added, specifying that prayer and fasting should be especially offered from 19 to 23 March.

Addressing the contentious elections scheduled to hold on March 28th, the cleric stated, “The challenge Nigeria is facing – on the day of voting, when you drop your votes in the ballot box, you will know who is PDP and who is APC. It’s a parable; very delicate. Because everybody plays a game; we deceive ourselves. ‘So this man voted for this party but he’s in that party.”

Joshua stated that a dark cloud was hanging over the nation. “The cloud is darker. When it is about to rain, you cannot see in front again,” he vividly described.

The cleric further emphasised that vengeance was nigh for the perpetrators of the building collapse that left 116 dead last year September, insisting it was an attack. “There must be vengeance concerning what happened here. Both the slaves and masters must pay the price.”

He stated he was unhappy due to the innocent blood spilled in his church premises and the refusal of those responsible to admit. “God gave me an order that I should continue this work – so I must do it. Nothing can separate me from the work of God but your prophet is not happy. I will be happy when vengeance comes,” he stated, with a markedly stern countenance.

The cleric further prophesied concerning the nation of Russia, referring to the recent assassination of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov. “I am still seeing the same thing happening – killing of a hero, even bigger than the one that was killed. I am talking in parables. Who could be bigger than the man that was shot in Russia? You should pray for the authority there; pray for the President of Russia.”

Joshua also stated that he has collected his own Permanent Voters Card (PVC) as a responsible Nigerian citizen, although admitting his approach often times did not reflect his citizenship. “I am living as if I am a stranger in my own country,” he told congregants.

Good News! 30 Days In Atlanta Original VCD Floods Lagos

As a result of the devious manner in which pirates produced copies of the hilarious movie, ‘30 Days In Atlanta’ even before the original was produced, the owner of the movie has devised a smart way of countering the efforts of pirates by releasing original copies of the movie in visual compact discs (VCDs).

The movie, ‘30 Days in Atlanta’ is the award winning comedy produced by Ayo Makun (AY) and featured Hollywood thespians namely Vivicia A. Fox, Lynn Whitfield, Karlie Redd and Nollywood greats, Richard Mofe Damijo, Ramsey Noah, Mercy Johnson, Rachael Oniga, Ada Ameh, Kese Jabari and Ghollywood acts, Michel Majid, Juliet Ibrahim. The comedy depicted AY as Akpos, a self centred jobless young man from Warri, Delta State, and it recently got the New Era Award at the AMVCA 2015.

In a phone chat, Ayo Makun disclosed that, a marketer has taken up the task to check the devilish acts of pirates who flooded the Nigerian market three weeks ago with thousands of copies of the movie.

“Paulo Concepts has taken up the task to produce the VCD copies of 30 Days in Atlanta. This is to shore-up the fake copies already in the market. There are other plans which I won’t divulge now. I want to thank the media for standing by us. Pirates don’t deserve to thrive here”. Meanwhile, the agency tasked with the arduous work of fighting piracy has shown the green light to hunt for the perpetrators of the movie being pirated. The Lagos commander of the Nigeria Copyright Commission NCC, Barr Chris Nkwuocha, has stated that the NCC has begun investigation on the matter having been given the necessary information needed to nip the problem in the bud.

30 Days in Atlanta became a sell-out in Nigerian cinemas after its premier last October and the movie became the highest grossing movie of Nigerian cinemas.

uted by Silverbird Film Distribution Company.  The movie has been premiered in Ghana, London and other countries. Plans were in place to premier 30 Days in Atlanta in other countries before the piece fell into the hands of pirates.
