Another Kogi Civil Servant Commits Suicide

Posted: 30 Nov 2017 03:18 AM PST

47 year-old Abdullahi Uye Zhiya from Oguma in Bassa, Kogi state has killed himself by intentionally drinking a dose of substance suspected to be poisonous chemical.

His frustration may not be unconnected to the non-payment of his salaries of about 12 months.

Close family sources told Daily Post that for over one year, life had not been favourable as everything turned for the worst for him.

Another family source confirmed that he was a hardworking man, and that "because he had been without salary for several months, his situation became unbearable."

It was gathered that many relations have been reaching out to him in terms of help, but it was not sufficient, hence he decided to end it in death.

Another version of his story from some of his relatives indicated that the deceased may not have taken his life because of his economic challenges, but that there seemed to be other challenges which he refused to disclose.

According to the source, "We suspect that what happened has a spiritual undertone. The deceased at some point became withdrawn, but even when we asked he was never forthcoming."

The deceased as the chief store officer at the State Universal Basic Education office in Oguma was described by his colleagues as an easy going man who avoided trouble.

I am not going to change my stance on Tiwa and Teejay. I will say that I love both of them dearly and as a friend all I am trying to do is be there for them, trying to help them work through the issues that they have. I wish them all the best," he declared

Policeman, pastor killed in shootout with Ondo kidnappers | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:29 AM PST

A policeman and a Pastor/ businessman, Oluwafemi Akomolafe, have been shot dead during a shoot-out between police detectives and suspected kidnappers along Ore expressway, Ondo state.

The pastor's son, Timilehin, and two others- Micheal Popoola and Henry Usifo, kidnapped after the shootout, have been rescued by police detectives in the state in conjunction with village hunters. Gun Vanguard gathered that the late Akomolafe was taking his son Timilehin back to school in his car when he ran into the crossfire.


He reportedly died on the spot following the stray bullet that hit him while the kidnappers took his son and the two other victims away.

 Confirming this yesterday, the state Police Commissioner, Olugbenga Adeyanju said the victims were rescued when detectives invaded the kidnappers' hideout adding that no ransom was paid. Adeyanju pointed out that the three victims, who were travelling from Port- Harcourt were kidnapped while on their way to Lagos.

Narrating how they were kidnapped, Adeyanju said

"On Nov. 24 at about 3:45 p.m., one Mr. Akomolafe was travelling from Akure to Lagos to drop his son, Timilehin at the University of Lagos. "Unfortunately his jeep was intercepted by kidnappers and in the process, he was killed and his son was kidnapped. "The jeep right behind his vehicle was equally shot and the mobile policeman lost his life but the driver was fast enough to escape to safety when policemen came to the scene firing and the kidnappers ran away.
"They took Timilehin and two other travellers, Popoola and Usifo, who were coming from Port Harcourt to Lagos in a commercial vehicle, and this happened almost simultaneously," he said. 
The commissioner said the kidnappers escaped with the gunshot wounds after a gun battle with policemen.
 "The victims were, however, rescued without any ransom paid after men of the Nigeria Police and local hunters combed the bush around Ore, where they intercepted the kidnappers, engaging in a gun battle with them, and injuring one of them, who escaped in the process. Adeyanju said no arrest was made but those rescued are volunteering useful information to help in the arrest of the kidnappers.

Buhari Should State His Role In Mainagate; ex-NBA president, CSOs tell President

Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:13 AM PST

Some Civil Society Organisations, as well as a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr. Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), on Wednesday asked President Muhammadu Buhari to state his role in the controversy surrounding the reinstatement of the Chairman of the defunct Presidential Task Force on Pension Reforms, Mr. Abdulrasheed Maina.

They added that the revelations that followed the controversial reinstatement had dented the image of Buhari and called for a panel to investigate all issues surrounding Maina.

The former PTFPR boss had said Buhari asked the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), to strike a deal with him (Maina).

Agbakoba, who spoke to Punch on phone, urged the President to break his silence on the issue.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said Maina had dented the President's image by his claims, wondering why a "common" suspect like the fugitive "cannot be arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission unless somebody somewhere at the highest level of government is protecting him."

He said, "Only the President can break this conundrum; otherwise, my personal belief is that right inside Aso Rock, there is some protection. If not, how can a man go in and out of Nigeria with the ease? How can Maina make allusion to the President asking him to meet with the AGF?

"In fact, what has happened is that the President's image has been dented. Maina has dented the President's image by alluding to the fact that the President had contact with him and instructed the AGF to make a deal with him.

"What I expect is for the President to immediately clear the air on what is going on."

He said the claims by Maina had impugned the integrity of President Buhari's anti-corruption war, adding that the President would be doing himself a favour by speaking on the issue.

He said, "The whole thing is a mess and it is difficult to know who to believe. It has, in my view, created the biggest dent in the President's anti-corruption crusade because we have all the agencies quarrelling. We have the Attorney-General of the Federation quarrelling with the Head of Service, and so on.

"It sounds so ridiculously unbelievable and I think the President will be doing himself a big favour to break his silence, particularly as Maina said the President approved the meeting."

The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership, and the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, noted that Maina had more confessions to make.

They called on the President to inaugurate a panel of retired judges to investigate the allegations made by Maina.

The SERAP Director, Adetokunbo Mumumi, said based on the allegations by Maina, Buhari should set up an investigative committee that is not controlled by the presidency.

He said, "What Maina has said so far are allegations and counter-allegations. What should happen now is that an independent committee of enquiry consisting of retired judges must investigate the Maina scandal. The President must set up a committee of retired incorruptible judges.

"We don't want anyone from the presidency or under the control of the President. It is not a question of investigation made up of people in the presidency, the senate and the House of Representatives."

Also, the CACOL Director, Debo Adeniran, said, "Maina's confession is not yet a revelation until it is proven. It could be his creative way of exoneration. The way forward is to let us have Maina speak up more. He threatened that he was going to name some names. If he does not give those names, he should be treated as an accomplice who is withholding information from the authorities.

"He claimed that he recovered so much money between the last administration and the present one. He should make public the details of the recovery so that we can see his credibility. The anti-graft agencies must probe Maina further to get the information at his disposal."

Also a civil society group, Advocates for Peoples Rights and Justice, said Malami's secret visit to the former boss of the task force on pension reforms in Dubai indicated that he and other officials were complicit.

The Coordinator of the group, Victor Giwa, noted that Buhari might have been misinformed by his officials about the matter, adding that that probably explained why he ordered Maina's sacking after he heard that the former pension reforms boss had been reinstated.

The activist demanded that Malami and the National Security Adviser, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Monguno, should clear the air on their reason for the Dubai visit.

"People like the NSA and Malami who visited Maina should clear the air on the position of the President. Also, they might have misrepresented the President and until Buhari speaks, we may never know the truth," Giwa said.

The National Coordinator, Advocates for Good Governance, Macdonald Akhirome, said Nigerians would continue to hold the government accountable for its action on the issue.

He admonished Buhari to tell Nigerians the truth about Maina's reinstatement, noting that his silence on the matter "speaks volumes about certain things that may not be understood at the moment."

Akhirome said, "Our take is that the fact speaks for itself, it is glaring before the people, but one would expect that the government would take responsibility for its inaction and action."

Maina, who is wanted by the EFCC, in a video sent to Channels Television, claimed that the President gave Malami the nod to "go and sit down with Maina."

The former pension reforms boss had claimed that he had not been taken to any court of law, noting that he had sued security agencies and had "four court judgments."

Also, the Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, had said, in a leaked memo dated October 23, that Buhari was aware of the reinstatement of Maina, noting that she warned the President against it.

In the memo, Oyo-Ita had said her warning was based on the implications that such reinstatement would have on the anti-corruption war of the Federal Government.

'Direct your enquiries to AGF' When contacted, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said all enquiries relating to Maina should be directed to the Attorney-General of the Federation.

"Everything on Maina should be directed to the AGF," Adesina said.

But the AGF neither answered Punch's calls nor responded to a text sent to his mobile phone.

Ex-rap promoter Jimmy Henchman found guilty of murdering 50Cent's friend | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 30 Nov 2017 12:09 AM PST

A former hip-hop and rap promoter known as Jimmy Henchman has been found guilty in New York of ordering the killing of a friend of rapper 50 Cent.

A federal jury Tuesday convicted James Rosemond on murder-for-hire charges. Rosemond was accused of hiring a crew to kill an associate of the rap group G-Unit as payback for an assault on Rosemond's son.


It was Rosemond's third trial in the case. The first ended in a hung jury. Rosemond was convicted in the second, but a new trial was ordered. Rosemond already was serving two life sentences for separate drug and gun convictions.

Rosemond's lawyer claimed witnesses were only trying to reduce their own jail sentences.

G-Unit associate Lodi Mack was killed in 2009.

I'm not Adesua Etomi's ex-Kunle Remi shuts down rumours with lengthy statement | Mr Olumide's Blog

Posted: 29 Nov 2017 10:24 PM PST

Actor Kunle Remi has reacted to viral reports of him being Adesua Etomi's ex boyfriend.He took to Instagram this morning to say they only acted as a couple in a movie they starred in.

He wrote..

'MY NAME IS KUNLE REMI and Not ADESUA's Ex.
Silence,they say is Golden.

I have been silent, but some people have taken this as an invitation to take the piss!! I have chosen my words and thought this action through, so read carefully, yes, pay attention I will only say this once.
I am not a bitter person neither am I a sadist.
'If' you know me, (if you don't, ask about me from those that do) you would know I am a very positive and I radiate good vibes only, I am not here for any form of negativity whatsoever.
My name has been used inappropriately, and it is time I set the record straight.
I intentionally waited till after the festive of the beautiful wedding ceremony had come to a natural halt out of respect for the couple.
I have not till this present day said to any blogger, or mentioned on any social media platform, or granted any interview admitting or confirming that I was ever in a relationship with the former Miss Adesua Etomi who as well all know tied the knot over the past weekend, neither do I recall her doing the same.
Yet some jobless people cooked up stories and sold it to other jobless people and then jobless readers and commentators believed it and hence the rumors started circulating with no proof other than pictures of us on a Movie set titled (FALLING. A great film by the way, It's on Netflix if you haven't seen it.). Contrary to the opinion of people who feel theirs matters, I don't have to congratulate the beautiful couple publicly to prove anything. Some of us would rather do our things privately. You CAN'T believe all you see on social media (some people will still not understand).
Take for example ; Recently I posted a picture of my Beautiful Nephew on my Instagram and as expected, rumors started again without any confirmation that I have a baby. (Quote me) I never confirmed to anyone that he is My Son. So there you go!!. Not all you see or read on social media is the gospel truth.
Having said that this is my advice to those this may concern; Just for your sanity try to be sure about the rumors and gist before you tongue lash people or judge people.
Sometimes Not every one is strong enough to handle it.

If you don't know anything or if you are not sure, you don't have to comment or curse people just SHUT UP. "If You don't talk (in cases like this) you won't die".
BE SURE BEFORE YOU JUDGE ANYONE, OR BETTER STILL DON'T. THAT'S WHY GOD SAYS HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE US ALL.
Don't Curse yourself.

Thank you for reading.
PS : Next Time you want to talk about me or refer to me. My Name is KUNLE REMI, the charming, charismatic , God Fearing, hardworking , Gentlemen but you can just call me THE ACTOR!! Signed
MANAGEMENT'

4 Interesting Ways To Earn Respect In The Workplace

Posted: 29 Nov 2017 10:18 PM PST

Earning the respect of your colleagues in the workplace can be challenging, however, there are some helpful ways to do so effectively without breaking a sweat.

Jumia Travel shares 4 ways to earn respect in the workplace.

Communicate Well
Many times, the disrespect we get in the workplace is due to improper communication or miscommunication. Try to make a conscious effort to listen to and understand those that you work with, as well as communicate your ideas and point of view clearly to them. Improving your communication habits in the workplace is an effective way to secure respect as it will help boost your connection with your colleagues and subordinates, as well as help you reap the returns of cooperation and morale.

Be Organized
If you are unable to organize yourself in the workplace, you'll end up painting a picture of 'bumbling incompetence' to your colleagues. As a result, earning the respect of your colleagues and surbordinates becomes more of a herculean task for you because it is hard to respect someone who doesn't seem to know what he/she is doing, where he/she is going and how to get there. You should thus put in more effort into developing a vision and plan/schedule that will guide your activities and keep you organized in the workplace.

Trust Your Team
There is nothing worse than a 'micromanager', someone who looks over everyone's shoulder and hardly gives those he/she is working with space to do their work or express themselves in the workplace, trying to control every detail of everyone's work. It is important to give your colleagues some breathing space to do their work. Though you have an opinion on your colleague's work it must not always be expressed as long the overall work is being adequately done. The best way to earn the respect of your team or colleagues is to adopt a less controlling approach when relating with them in the workplace.

Show Respect
Respect, they say, is reciprocal. If you want respect, then they best way to get it is to first give respect. Respect is an earned trait and once you show respect to your team, they'll be more likely to return the sentiment.

Woman Held Captive; R*ped, Tortured For 10 Years

Posted: 29 Nov 2017 09:53 PM PST

A woman has been freed from a dungeon where she was kept for as much as 10 years by a man who had previously served time for kidnap.

The 29-year-old woman was r*ped, tortured and forced to give birth to two of his children.

Aloisio Francesco Rosario Giordano, 52, was taken into custody in Italy over the weekend and being held on kidnapping charges – the second time he's been held on such charges.

His first victim also fell pregnant twice, but he aborted the baby himself, first by kicking her in the stomach and the 2nd time using a scalpel and a spoon that police said he also used to sodomise her.

He is said to have put his wife's carer into the dungeon – a basement under a shed at his home in Gizzeria, southern Italy – soon after his wife died.

She was chained to a metal bar next to her 'bed' in the rat-infested room where there was no running water or electricity.

She was beaten and r*ped repeatedly and is now the mother of a nine-year-old boy and a three-year-old girl.

Both children also faced being beaten if they didn't watch him attacking their mother.

Some of her injuries were so bad that Giordano is said to have tried to patch them up himself, using fishing wire.

They were made to sleep on cardboard for beds and all they had for a toilet was a plastic bucket that was put under a wooden chair.

Police were alerted to the woman's plight when they saw her son in the back of Giordano's car when he was pulled over because of the condition of his car.

He was said to be dirty, malnourished; so they asked to see the boy's home and speak to his mother.

They found the woman clutching her three-year-old daughter and an investigation was launched, uncovering the horrific conditions she was kept in.

She was taken to a secret location after telling police that she had been kept away from the outside world for a decade and hadn't washed for a year.

Giordano was taken into custody for aggravated s*xual abuse and mistreatment.

He was jailed for five years in 1995 for kidnapping, raping and torturing another woman called Maria Rosa, 23, and was released for good behaviour in 1999.

According to Daily Mail, he went home to his wife, who was terminally ill and being cared for by his 19-year-old victim, a Romanian woman who is not being identified.

It was when his wife died that he offered to help his second victim by giving her a place to stay.

"Nigerians Will See How Popular President Buhari Is In 2019"

Posted: 29 Nov 2017 08:53 PM PST

Alhaji Nasiru Haladu Danu, Dan Amana Dutse of the Dutse Emirate in Jigawa State is the Chairman Non-NWC members of the ruling APC. A staunch loyalist of President Buhari, he spoke with Temidayo Akinsuyi of Independent on the efforts by the president to deliver on his campaign promises and the talks about the 2019 presidential election. Excerpts:

The president based his administration on tackling insecurity, corruption and revamping the economy. How do you think he has fared in these three areas? 
On security, I will score the president 75 percent. I will also give him 70 percent on the management of the economy. I am sure that by June 2018, we will be talking by 80 percent. On the fight against corruption, I will score him 75 percent.

These are excellent grades, what are your reasons for scoring the president so high? 
Number one is the fight against corruption. Two years ago in this country, corruption in the corporate world and among government officials is so brazen and done with impunity. It is like entering your office in the morning and you see corruption sitting on the table. But right now under the Buhari administration, it has run under the table. In some offices where you have rugs, it has run under those rugs. Some people owing to this administration's zero tolerance for corruption have even locked it in the safe. So, we hope that in the next one year, we will achieve 80 to 90 percent success in the fight against corruption. I don't believe in propaganda, I am a realist and that is why I said we have achieved 75 percent success. By the first quarter of next year, I believe we should be talking about 80 to 90 percent. Not only that, we have seen what the anti-corruption agencies have been able to do when it comes to the issue of prosecution. So far, so good, the cooperation from the judiciary is coming but when you look at the most recent cases of corruption, especially the ones involving Sambo Dasuki and Diezani Alison-Madueke, I think the federal government is doing very well in handling these cases. Also, if you look at what the EFCC has been able to recover so far, I believe it is commendable and I believe the president has done very well in the fight against corruption.

How popular is President Buhari now compared to 2015. Do you think his popularity has waned or he has gained more supporters? 
I don't think President Buhari has issues with popularity. As a chieftain of the party, our main focus is to see how he can deliver on the promises he made to Nigerians during the electioneering campaign in 2015. When the election comes in 2019, that is when you will know how popular the president is. I don't believe in social media popularity, I like facing reality. If he decides to run in 2019, we will know whether he still popular among Nigerians or not. But I think he is getting more support all over the country. He has demonstrated high level of capacity and he has done very well.
