Michael Jordan finally speaks out...

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 01:32 PM PDT

The basketball legend has been criticized for years for remaining neutral on social issues affecting the Black community despite earning a lot of money for American youths clamoring for his expensive sneakers. Jordan has decided it's time to speak up...

In an open penned for The Undefeated Michael Jordan writes,



As a proud American, a father who lost his own dad in a senseless act of violence, and a black man, I have been deeply troubled by the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of law enforcement and angered by the cowardly and hateful targeting and killing of police officers. I grieve with the families who have lost loved ones, as I know their pain all too well.
"I was raised by parents who taught me to love and respect people regardless of their race or background, so I am saddened and frustrated by the divisive rhetoric and racial tensions that seem to be getting worse as of late. I know this country is better than that, and I can no longer stay silent. We need to find solutions that ensure people of color receive fair and equal treatment AND that police officers – who put their lives on the line every day to protect us all – are respected and supported.
"Over the past three decades I have seen up close the dedication of the law enforcement officers who protect me and my family. I have the greatest respect for their sacrifice and service. I also recognize that for many people of color their experiences with law enforcement have been different than mine. I have decided to speak out in the hope that we can come together as Americans, and through peaceful dialogue and education, achieve constructive change.
"To support that effort, I am making contributions of $1 million each to two organizations, the International Association of Chiefs of Police's newly established Institute for Community-Police Relations and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The Institute for Community-Police Relations' policy and oversight work is focused on building trust and promoting best practices in community policing. My donation to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the nation's oldest civil rights law organization, will support its ongoing work in support of reforms that will build trust and respect between communities and law enforcement. Although I know these contributions alone are not enough to solve the problem, I hope the resources will help both organizations make a positive difference.
"We are privileged to live in the world's greatest country – a country that has provided my family and me the greatest of opportunities. The problems we face didn't happen overnight and they won't be solved tomorrow, but if we all work together, we can foster greater understanding, positive change and create a more peaceful world for ourselves, our children, our families and our communities."

'Buhari will certainly complete his 8 years in office despite diabolical attempt to kill him' - Olumba Olumba

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 01:19 PM PDT

The spiritual leader of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, Olumba Olumba Obu, has predicted that President Buhari will complete not only his first but second term in office despite attempts by certain individuals who are not happy with his stance on corruption, to eliminate him.

Olumba Olumba stated this while addressing a crowd of guests and adherents in Calabar, Cross River State, during an international youth event with the theme 'Respecting Authorities and Higher Powers'.

"For now, which leader in Nigeria would people be afraid of, to the extent of coming up by themselves to return stolen money?"  he asked. "I can assure that despite the millions of money people are spending, including going diabolical, to kill the president, they will not succeed and he will not be harmed. He will certainly complete his eight years in office. Buhari has a special task to accomplish in Nigeria at these times," he added.

Troops rescue Emir of Bama's wife and daughter from Boko Haram two years after they were abducted

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 01:16 PM PDT

The Nigerian Army has rescued the wife and daughter of Shehu of Bama  from the Boko Haram enclave in Borno, two years after they were abducted.

Queen Hajju was abducted along with her two children when Boko Haram terrorists invaded Bama two years ago. While the she and her daughter regained their freedom, the son was killed by the insurgents few months after the abduction. 
The queen and her daughter have been taken to the Emir's residence in Maiduguri, by the General Officer Commanding,  7 Division of Nigeria Army, Brig. Gen. Victor Ezugwu.

They were reportedly rescued during a clearance operation by soldiers. The Emir, IBN Kyari El kanemi, according to a family source, wept uncontrollably when he saw his wife.

"We are happy to see our queen and her daughter back. But we learnt that Boko Haram fighters killed her son who was kidnapped along with his mum, the family source told The Nation.

Wife of Borno State Governor, Mrs Nana Shettima and Deputy Governor Usman Durkwa, other top government functionaries visited the resident of the monarch to welcome the returnees.

There are no more Boko Haram camps in North-East - Nigerian Army

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 12:54 PM PDT

The Nigerian Army said there were no longer Boko Haram camps in the North-Eastern part of the country.

Army spokesperson, Colonel Sani Usman made the claim on Monday while addressing newsmen at the inauguration of Strategic Communication Course for senior officers at the Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information, Bonny Camp, Lagos.

Usman assured Nigerians that the military was winning the war against terrorism, adding that there were no more terrorists clustered in a particular place in the area.

"The situation in the North-East has tremendously improved. The military operations or the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the North-East is hinged on three things.

"First, defeating the Boko Haram terrorists which have been accomplished and making room to facilitate humanitarian assistance which is also ongoing. Then restoration of law and order for good governance to take place. We no longer have camps of Boko Haram terrorists and we no longer have them conveyed in the territories.

"Those that were hitherto close are now open to the extent that we have trans-border trade. Take for instance; just recently, the important road that links Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon was just re-opened. We have come to the point that we can beat our chest and decisively say we have dealt with Boko Haram." he said.

Speaking on the inauguration of the communication course, Usman said that training of personnel was paramount, which would enhance proficiency.

"It is in this regard that the Directorate of Army Public Relations places high premium on training of officers and soldiers. The Nigerian Army School of Public Relations and Information must remain focused in the training of officers and soldiers to meet the need of well trained and skilled manpower. This is the first of its kind to further enhance further joint operations of the armed forces and possibly international military engagement," Usman said.

"It is my hope that this course will make the desired impact on all of you and explicit growth fertilisation of ideas among the participants. It is also our desire to see that at the end of the course, we turn out better informed senior officers. Also, they should be well-equipped to partake in making or taking strategic decision for the Nigerian army information and dissemination management,"  he said.

The Army spokesperson thanked the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai for improving the Nigerian Army formations.

Femi Adesina responds to salient issues affecting the nation

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 12:51 PM PDT

In a recent interview with Radio Continental, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Buhari, Mr Femi Adesina responded to salient issues affecting the nation. Issues like Hard times in Nigeria, Niger Delta Agitations, Recovered monies, Power Supply and more, were addressed by him. Excerpts after the cut...


Alleged lopsided Appointments
What I would like to say is that this government takes feedback very serious. The feedback that has come on appointments in the last few weeks has been well noted. They are being processed and would inform what is going to happen going forward and be assured that the processing would come with something good for every part of the country. That is not to say that those appointments do not have their merits. All of them can be defended, but the feedbacks are well noted.
Under the presidential system, there is what is called presidential prerogative, and there are some appointments the president can make and he does not necessarily have to consult . Not all appointments are subject to federal character, as there are some that can be done by presidential prerogative.

Hard times in the Land
We know that things are very difficult in the country. But that is not peculiar to Nigeria, as a number of countries like Venezuala are going through tough times. Nigeria is not immune from that because it is part of the global system. In the recent past, on a radio interview, I had been asked: 'Does government know that people are suffering and that people are complaining?' I answered that government is aware of what the citizens are passing through, and the radio station went further to ask if I know that a man exchanged his son for a bag of rice? And I responded that I wasn't aware, but that the support base of this administration is still very strong, and people who are ready to pass through this difficult times patiently are more than those who criticize the governments . But a mischievous person went on social media and twisted my comment, claiming I said only a few Nigerians are hungry. That particular station re-ran the interview for clarification, but of course the wailers would prefer to hear their own mindset and not the clarification. I didn't lose sleep over it because that wasn't what I said. I also live in this society, people have that erroneous feeling and belief that when you serve in a government, you are in a cocoon and far removed from reality, which is not true. Our wives and children go to the market, we also feel the harsh situation. Yes, Nigerians are passing through tough times, but tough times don't last , only tough people do. I said, and I repeat again, that the tough times we are going through are the consequences of the past. But some people say they don't want to hear about the past. How can you not want to hear about the past? How do you determine the future if you don't want to hear about the past ?

BUT the Government has less than three years to spend now
Yes, even one week in government is a long time. The times would change and those who believe it would see it . Those who are ready to be patient would eat the fruit of the land. A lot is being done to make life better for Nigerians. The Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, says technically, Nigeria is in recession. Why do we have government? Government is there to alleviate the plight of the people and make things better. The onus is on the people to then be patient, knowing that this government is out for their interest and cares for them. It is not a magic wand that can be waved and everything happens. It is a process, and a painstaking one that something good would come out from.
President Buhari's plan
Almost at every forum, the president would talk about agriculture and solid minerals. Agriculture would take two to three planting seasons before you see the dividends. It has been said repeatedly that by 2018, Nigeria would not need to import some agricultural produce again because the policy being put in place and the empowerment being given to farmers in different parts of the country would ensure that by that year, things would have changed . What we are passing through can only be temporary. There is also a timeline that would see that we don't import fuel again by 2018 and by 2019, we would be exporting. If we have these time-tables, why don't we trust, believe, pray and join hands with government so that these come into being?
cash crunch/Niger Delta Agitations
Let me start first with your statement that there is no cash in the economy, by giving this information. In 2014, this country was making averagely $3.2 billion from petroleum every month. The last statistics that I have available is that of April, 2016. Do you know how much we made? $550 million, compared with $3.2 billion in 2014. Now, it was after April that the sabotage went up in the Niger Delta, and instead of 2.2 million barrels of oil daily, we are exporting about 1.6 million, and you can imagine how revenue has dropped. If it was $550 million in April, you can imagine what it would be if the sabotage continues. The onus is on everyone to know and realize that this is our country and whatever we do to it, is what we get from it.
The government is not averse to negotiation. Even when things are done through force of arms, at the end of the day, they would be concluded through negotiations. The president specifically instructed the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) to engage in dialogue with the militants. One problem is that there are scores of groups in the Niger Delta, not just a group. When they meet with one, the rest would say they are fake and a particular one is the real one. This is a major challenge.
Corruption War
You will always have complaints and allegations that the fight is tilted towards witch- hunting or at a particular group. The outgoing American ambassador to Nigeria says the anti-corruption war is proceeding well and that America is happy with it. While we don't need the US to validate the war, it is still instructive. Naturally, people who are affected will not keep quiet.
In terms of strategy, anybody that has questions to answer would be called in, irrespective of who he is. The president is also fair minded enough to say if anyone has not been indicted, no one should be tarred with the brush of corruption. It is not true that when you serve in government, you become automatically corrupt, it is not.

Recovered Monies
About recovered funds, the president said in Kaduna that funds recovered would be used for infrastructure. The vice president has also repeated the same. The recovered funds would be used for roads, electricity and other infrastructure. Whether it is already in use, is the people in Finance that would know about that.
On the issue of amnesty for those people who return money voluntarily, it does not mean that there will be a blanket amnesty, but each case would be taken on the recommendation of the attorney general of the federation. Each case would be taken and the recommendation of the Attorney General will be very important.

Army Chief and Dubai property
What I would say is that this government does not just pounce on people and drag them to court, so that it can be seen or heard that it is fighting corruption. It follows a due process. The last I heard on that case is the Code of Conduct Bureau coming out to say that yes, the houses in Dubai were declared in the name of one the wives of Lt Gen Tukur Buratai. So, if the Code of Conduct Bureau is satisfied that no law has been breached, then that is it.
Don't forget what the President said recently: We are on this war, and anyone who is indicted will answer for it. I will just say, let's hang on the words of the president. Investigation is not necessarily an indictment, however.

Power supply
In a recent interview granted by the president to THE INTERVIEW magazine, he was asked why he entrusted three key ministries in thands of one person, and he said it was a queation of capacity. That when he sees that someone has the capacity, he will assign task to him and that was why those ministries were handed over to Mr Babatunde Fashola. He said the reward for hard work is more work.
I visited Mr Fashola in his office recently, and I went away very glad and hopeful . My hope was rekindled in the country. The Minister referred to when he was governor of Lagos, and that people did not hear much from him in the first year, because he was planning. But by the second year was when people began to see much developments. He said by the second anniversry of this administration, we would see results of what he would have done in the three ministries. He told me that the government priority roads: Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abuja-Lokoja, and Port Harcourt-Enugu, would be done, that we should wait and see how far they would have gone by May next year.
These are the kind of things that we should love to hear as Nigerians but some people are just cynical. Rather than cynicism, we should be hopeful.As a person, I am positive that this government would deliver, and deliver well.

Video: Mother violently beats up her 16 year old daughter for posting explicit pictures with boyfriend on Facebook

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 12:48 PM PDT

It all began when 16 year old Nia Green posted a photo of herself and her boyfriend, wearing nothing but a towel on her Facebook page. The mum got to see it and decided her daughter deserved to be taught a lesson she would never forget. She live streamed herself beating her as punishment.
She first took over Nia's Facebook page and started a live video stream. Then with after more than   4,000 viewers, she started beating her with a piece o f plywood and her bare hands.
The video started with the mother saying:
"You wanna hide this boy in my f***ing house," Green's mother shouts before hitting her daughter.
She then instructs an unseen third party to keep filming as she beats Nia's face, abdomen and head repeatedly.
"This is what you want," the woman yells before smacking her child on the face. I thought it was my period," Nia tearfully answers,
The mother then punches her on the stomach before saying , "You probably got some discharge, with your nasty a**!"
The beating continues until the mother was satisfied. she then walks over to the recording device and claims that she is taking over her daughter's Facebook profile.
Few minutes after the video went viral, the mother received a lot of backlash from social media users and some human right groups.  She then took to Nia's facebook page which is now has her picture as the display pic to explain herself. She wrote:
''I love my daughter with all my heart what ever happens after this o well my daughter is not going to disrespect me or herself for nobody that shit Bernie Mac !!! Ain't nothing change she still my baby girl 100. lesson learned now have a blessed day it.
A day after the incident Nia, made a post on Facebook , saying that she deserved to be beaten by her mother :
''First Off I Shouldnt Embarrassed My Moma , I Love Her . Yes this is me . Niaaa . I Shouldnt even been doing what i did. No i didnt have vari in my house when she said not to . I was at his house . Im only 16 yrs old . I was gonna open up and tell her that i was having sex . I was just gonna wait a couple days to see how i was gone tell her . I understand why she did what she did .

28 year old housewife sentenced to death by hanging in Delta for stabbing husband to death and setting him ablaze

Posted: 25 Jul 2016 09:17 AM PDT

A 28 year-old housewife, Mary Attah has been condemned to death by hanging by an Effurun High Court for stabbing her Pastor husband, Darlington Attah, with a kitchen knife and setting him ablaze.

Prosecution from the Delta State Ministry of Justice had told the Court that the accused who was married to Darlington Attah (now deceased) with four children, on or about the 6th day of July, 2012 at Effurun within the Effurun Judicial Division did attack her husband with a kitchen knife and stabbed him in the neck as a result of an alleged phone call from the husband's lover.

The Court was further told that the accused was infuriated by the telephone call at a time they were having a 'nice time' which prompted her to rush to the kitchen, collected the knife and armed herself with grounded pepper which she rubbed on her husband's face to immobilize him before stabbing him in the neck. Not satisfied, she doused the husband who was already weak as a result of excessive bleeding with fuel and set him ablaze.

He later gave up the ghost at the Warri Central Hospital where he was rushed to where Medical Doctors efforts to save his life failed. The Court sentenced the 28 years old mother of four to death having been pronounced guilty of the one count charge proffered against her by the Delta State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice.

The offence is punishable under Section 319(1) of the Criminal Code Law, Cap C21, Volume 1, Laws of Delta State of Nigeria, 2006. eJustice Oritsjafor of the Effurun High Court while delivering the death verdict held that prosecution led by an Assistant Director, Patrick Mekako was able to prove beyond all reasonable doubt the essential ingredients of the offence of murder against the accused person.

"I must also add that the evidence before this Court do not and cannot support the plea of self defense in favour of the accused person. I agree with the learned Assistant Director for the Prosecution that there is just no possible defence to avail the accused person when she stabbed her deceased husband in the neck with a knife and thereafter doused him with fuel before she struck the match on him was to kill the deceased or do him grievous bodily harm. The law is trite that a man intends the natural consequences of his act." Justice Oritsjafor held.

Continuing "from the evidence before this Court and in particular the extrajudicial statement of the accused person, Exhibit A and the evidence of PW1 and PW2 which corroborates and is consistent with the facts contained in the said extrajudicial statement Exhibit A, I hold that the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused person murdered her deceased husband on or about the 6th day of July, 2012, and I find the accused person guilty of the murder of Darlington Attah as charged.

Accused person is accordingly, hereby convicted of the offence of murder. The sentence of this Court upon you, Mary Attah is death by hanging by the neck till you be dead and may the Lord have mercy on your soul."
