The Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos, has rejected the stay 
on application of Senator Rashidi Ladoja, a former governor of Oyo 
state, to stall further proceedings on the N4.7 billion fraud case the 
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is seeking to re-open 
against him.<br />

Justice Mohammed Idris adjourned the case to 14 December for the 
arraignment of the former governor. The former governor’s counsel, Mr. 
Bolaji Onilenla, argued that there is an appeal challenging the 
competence of the charge before the Supreme Court.<br />

In his ruling, Justice Idris said an appeal before the Supreme Court 
cannot stall the proceedings of a criminal trial. He explained that the 
provision of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 (ACJA) 
gives room for a trial to proceed even if there is an appeal before a 
higher court.<br />

The judge also ruled against the applicant’s objection to the 
representation of Mr. Oluwafemi Olabisi, a lawyer in Festus Keyamo’s 
Chambers.<br />

In the application, Mr. Onilenla said only Mr. Festus Keyamo can 
represent the EFCC, as he was the one given a fiat by the 
Attorney-General of the Federation. But Justice Idris said the fiat was 
given to Festus Keyamo Chambers, not to Mr. Keyamo as a person. As such,
 he added, anyone from the chambers can represent the EFCC in court.<br />

Only the EFCC can insist that it should strictly be Mr. Keyamo that represents it in court, he explained.<br />

The commission had approached the court to seek warrant for the 
arrest of Ladoja, following his absence in court for his re-arraignment 
last Friday.<br />

Mr. Onilenla, however, pleaded with the court not to issue a warrant 
for his client’s arrest, stating that his client was not properly 
informed.<br />

Senator Ladoja appeared before the court on Friday alongside his former aide, Chief Waheed Akanbi.<br />

The duo were first arraigned in 2008 and had proceeded to appeal the competence of their charge up to the highest court.

of you guys have become a docile entity that is driven by the insatiable desire
to reap where una no sow, expecting miracles when you have not worked and
seeking  help in all the wrong places( illuminati, native doctors and
night vigiles) The frustration in our humanity is exemplified in the confused
non-ideological and non-intellectual capacity of today’s youths. The anger of
your hunger is not hitting the minds of our youths and the vexation that has
trailed governance nationally is almost unheard of among our youths even though
the new Nigerian reality is most felt by these same youths. Kai!!! Una Mumu

the past four decades, I have been fighting the course of the Nigerian youths
and I still believe that Nigeria will be saved by its exceptional youths. After
all, many great NigerIan youths have passed through me and have grown to become
masters in their game. Like, Tunde and Wumi Obe, the great Majek Fashek, Dede
Mabiaku, Gloria Anozie Young, Jim Ike, ALi Baba etc etc. They all passed
through the Charlyboy University. </span></span></span></span></div>

have made and encouraged Big Stars who are even Bigger today. Because of me,
millions of Nigeria never gave up on their dreams, because they have been
inspired by my tenacity, my focus, my hardwork,my consistency, belief in self
and my Never say Die spirit.. So, how can my honourable intentions for the
youths ever be in question. But when  I see how so nonchalant and
clueless most of them have become, I sometimes get demoralized.</span></span></span></span></div>

I called the youths to action, to fight to retrieve their stolen and kidnapped
future, I was confronted with youths who are incapable of taking the bull by
the horn and leading movements geared towards the Nigerian realignment. With
the Social media platforms that cut across facebook, twitter, whatsapp,
instagram; which should be one of the deadliest weapon against our yahoo yahoo
leadership, yet the Nigerian youths slaked. Rather what did I see, ignorance
and an illiterate bunch that trades on insults, with their horrible english wey

their present situation. </span></span></span></span></div>

a few exceptional Nigerian youths came to me for support to lead the protest to
fight corruption starting with the National Assembly I knew that this was the
beginning of a new dawn. I immediately jumped on it.  It was purely
out of my desire to see and feel the reawakening of the lost breed of youthful
activism and sustained engagement of old. It became personal. With the interest
of the youths at heart, I saw a platform for sustained resistance against
audacious political criminality to be presented to those who are ready to
change Nigerian from the top to the bottom. It was done to activate the
firebrand spirit lost to the destructive generational problems; to inform the
youths and ring it loud and clear that the moment of continuing engagement has
come.</span></span></span></span></div>

youths must wake up with the urgency of now.  Leadership is not a
gift, it must be earned. You must show willingness to lead. You must be
tenacious. You must show support to those who take the risk to speak for you
instead of throwing stones. We all should educate ourselves on good governance
and mass mobilization for a sustained activism because Nigeria is failing and
we are known for notoriously destructive government.</span></span></span></span></div>

Maradona Mourns Cuba’s Fidel Castro

<img alt="“Loyalty Is Priceless” , Maradona Mourns Cuba’s Fidel Castro" class="disappear appear" src="http://footballlive.ng/footballnews/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Untitled-112.png" /><br />
The former Cuban president and leader of the country’s revolution, 
Fidel Castro, has passed away at the age of 90, an event that will place
 the country in mourning and also sadden his close friend Diego 
Maradona.<span id="more-33960"></span><br />
“With deep pain, I must confirm that the commander in chief of the Cuban
 revolution died at 22:29pm,” stated Raul Castro. “Towards victory, 
always!”Castro remained closely involved in politics until 2011 when his
 declining health resulted in him being forced to pass control to his 
brother.<br />

<br />
Throughout his life, he always maintained that he was a huge fan of 
sport, particularly baseball but he often boasted of his friendship with
 one of the greatest sportsmen ever: Maradona.<br />

The Argentine superstar first visited the Caribbean country in 1987 
and since then established a close relationship with the Cuban leader.In
 fact, on his visits to the island, Maradona gave Castro several 
football jerseys, including the one he wore on his Newell’s Old Boys 
debut and an autographed Argentina No.10 shirt.<br />

<br />
The Argentinian was a reasonably frequent visitor to the island and was 
treated there in January 2000 for drug addiction at the famous La 
Perdera clinic and in 2005, he interviewed Castro for La Noche del 10 
programme in Argentina.<br />

<br />
Aside from being his friend, Maradona is also a supporter of the Cuban 
revolution and has a tattoo of the leader of it on one leg and Che 
Guevara on his arm.<br />

<br />
In 2015, Castro himself also made public some of the letters he had 
exchanged with the former Barcelona player, with the two men sharing 
their opinions on politics and sport.<br />

<br />
“Fidel if there is one important thing I have learned from you 
throughout the years of our sincere and beautiful friendship, it is that
 loyalty is priceless,” Maradona said in one letter, dated January 15.

EFCC releases billionaire businessman, Tunde Ayeni

<br />
<br />
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has released billionaire
 businessman and lawyer, Tunde Ayeni, after detaining him for two days.<br />

Mr. Ayeni was freed Saturday morning after he and other officials of 
his bank, Aso Savings and Loans Plc, committed to paying up a 
controversial N1billion naira the former management of the bank 
allegedly passed to a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, 
Bala Mohammed, those familiar with the matter told PREMIUM TIMES. <br />

Our sources said Mr. Ayeni personally made a cheque deposit of N100 
million naira with he and his colleagues promising to pay the balance in
 the weeks ahead.<br />

When contacted over the matter on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Ayeni said 
the matter for which he was invited by the EFCC had to do with a 
transaction carried out by the management of the bank.<br />

“It has nothing to do with me as a person,” Mr. Ayeni said. “This 
transaction happened in 2010, and I was not even the chairman of the 
bank at the time. <br />

“But as one of the key stakeholders of the bank, the EFCC asked me 
for some explanations which I made. The whole matter is clearer to them 
now, and the matter is being resolved.”<br />

Mr. Ayeni was arrested Thursday in relation with the ongoing investigation of former Minister Mohammed for alleged fraud.<br />

EFCC investigators believe Mr. Mohammed received one billion Naira 
from Aso Savings, an Abuja-based Primary Mortgage Institution, in yet 
unclear circumstances shortly after the bank transacted a land swap deal
 with the FCT administration during the minister’s tenure.

<br />
<br />
Eyitayo Jegede, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic 
Party, won his polling unit with a wide margin as vote counting 
commenced across Ondo State.<br />

Results from St. Brendan’s Primary School in Akure, where Mr. Jegede cast his ballot <span>Saturday</span> morning, show that the PDP candidate scored 184 votes to beat his major contenders.<br />

APC’s Rotimi Akeredolu came in a distant second with 77 votes while 
the candidate of the Alliance for Democracy, Olusola Oke, scored 32 
votes.<br />

The result mirrors others that have so far come in from many polling 
units across Akure, the state capital and Mr. Jegede’s stronghold.<br />

In Arakale/Adam’s House, Akure South LGA, Unit 1, Ward 7, the PDP had 50 votes, APC, 38 and AD, 24,<br />

In Arakale Ward 7, Unit 4, PDP had 35 votes, APC, 30; and AD, 18.<br />

An estimated 1.3 million residents are registered to vote in today’s 
exercise, where the candidates are expected to show their strength in 
their respective strongholds.<br />

Mr. Akeredolu and his APC are believed to have a strong presence in 
Ondo North, especially in Owo while Mr. Oke is expected to poll strongly
 in Ondo South, particularly in Ilaje and Okitipupa. Results from those 
parts of the state are still being expected.

Ondo decides: AD accuses APC, PDP of manipulating polls

<br />
<br />
Alliance for Democracy (AD) in Ondo State yesterday alleged that both
 the All Peoples Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 
made good their threats to rig and win this election at all cost by 
embarking spate of intimidation, heavy monetization and outright 
manipulation of the ballot materials in the on-going election in the 
State.
<br />
The spokesperson of the Olusola Oke campaign Organization, Mr Bisi 
Kolawole in a statement disclosed that it was unfortunate that the APC, 
whose mantra of a complete change to a corruption-free Nigeria was now 
the very apostle of corruption, intimidation and outright manipulation 
of votes by heavily monetizing the voting processes in the election.<br />

His words: “They have threatened to win this election at all cost and
 they have demonstrated the willingly to make their prediction come 
true. Our leaders were brutalised and hounded out of their homes in 
order to scare them and their supporters from the polling booths, they 
have brought in loads and loads of money to buy votes due to the pangs 
of hunger which they brought unto the people.<br />

“Yet, they say they are fighting corruption. Again, the PDP too have 
been attacking us including our Candidate, Chief Olusola Oke, they are 
now buying votes in the full glare of all shamelessly to continue 
pillaging the State.<br />

“From all over the State reports have it that cases of electoral 
manipulations are on-going, the PVC cards readers are not functioning 
properly and appears to have been compromised as they show figures 
different what are usually recorded in the accreditation exercise.<br />
” In Kiribi town Ese Odo local government, the hometown of the APC 
Deputy governor candidate, Mr Agboola Ajayi, leaders and members of the 
AD were chased out of their home to prevent them from voting and scaring
 their supporters away. Indeed, a former caretaker Chairman of the local
 government and also native of Kiribo, Mr Akin Sowore narrowly escaped 
being arrested by armed men in police and army uniforms who stormed his 
home in the community at exactly 1;30 am and up till the end of the 
election, these security men were harassing the electorate and chasing 
them from the polling units<br />

“In Supare, in Akoko South West local government which is the 
hometown of Mr Victor Olabintan, the Director General of the Rotimi 
Akeredolu Campaign Organisation, thugs loyal to him prevented members 
and supporters of the AD and other parties from voting in Unit 6, Ward 
10, where he usually votes. They completely surrounded the polling booth
 ensuring that nobody voted for another party save APC aside chasing 
away all known AD members.<br />

“In Akure, specifically Ward 5, Units 17 and 18 situated inside the 
Alagbaka Primary School, the Special Assistant to Governor Mimiko, Mrs 
Taye Afilaka, was initially arrested by the police and taken away for 
electoral infractions only to resurface about two hours later with money
 which they started sharing out in the full glare of security agents to 
anybody willing to vote for the PDP. In Unit 23, Ward 10, Akure South 
local government area, the State Chairman of the Okada riders 
association, one Ojo Obabi led his thugs in thump-printing  ballot 
papers with the aim of swapping them with those from the polling units 
later.”<br />

The AD, while commending the resolve of the people to vote for it 
candidate, Chief Olusola Oke, urged them remain calm and not to be 
intimidated by those which it described as men of straws saying that in 
the end, the will of the people would prevail.<br />

</div>
Bright Okpocha, AKA 
Basketmouth, was robbed in his home at Lekki over two months ago, the police have 
apprehended the suspects and paraded them before journalists at the 
Lagos State Police Command headquarters, Ikeja.<br />
<br />
The leader of the three-man gang who attacked Basketmouth, 24-year-old 
Chibuzor Ugwu, explained that they simply stumbled on the comedian’s 
house during their robbery spree on September 7.<br />
<br />
Ugwu, an Enugu State indigene living in Anambra State but came to Lagos 
regularly on the sole mission of carrying out robberies, explained that 
he was an internet fraudster for three years before he ventured into 
robbery.<br />
<br />
He said, “Anytime I came to Lagos, I took my gang to vandalise 
vehicles and steal auto parts. We normally targetted Toyota and Honda 
vehicles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>“But the day we robbed Basketmouth’s house. We had operated on some 
vehicles in the area that day. We then peeped into a compound and saw a 
very nice car. When we gained access into the compound, we realised we 
could make more money by robbing the occupants of the house.</b><b>“We 
then used a bolt cutter to enter through the kitchen. It was when we 
entered the house that we realised that it was Basketmouth’s house. We 
saw the pictures of him and his family on the wall.”</b></blockquote>
</blockquote>
According to Ugwu, who said he had done nothing else than internet fraud
 and robbery since he left secondary school, as soon as they saw 
Basketmouth, they believed they had hit the mother lode.<br />
<br />
The suspect said he pointed a gun he was holding at the comedian and told him to cooperate.<br />
<br />
<b>He said they were shocked the comedian told them he had no cash at home.</b><br />
<br />
Ugwu said, “We thought we were going to find millions of naira at the 
house. He was begging us not to hurt his family. He said he did not keep
 cash at home. But we told him to cooperate so that we would just 
operate peacefully and leave.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>“We searched the whole apartment and found nothing. We only got a 
$200 note in his wallet along with the mobile phones in the house which 
he handed to us.</b><b>“Eventually we left with the little we could 
find, we were not ready to hurt him because it was clear he was telling 
the truth when we searched everywhere and found no money.”</b></blockquote>
</blockquote>
He said the phones collected in Basketmouth’s house were sold to a 
friend he identified as Osama at the Computer Village in Ikeja.<br />
<br />
Ugwu explained that he bought the gun he took to the operation for N80,000 in Benue State.<br />
<br />
Saturday PUNCH leart that Ugwu entered the police net when he went to a 
police station to reclaim his vehicle that was impounded after he 
abandoned it on a road where it broke down at Ijeshatedo area of Lagos.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>“I had abandoned the vehicle on the road for some days. When I went 
there to pick it, I was told the police had impounded it. When I went to
 the station to claim it, I did not know the police had previously 
arrested a friend of mine who knew about my robbery activities,” he 
said.</b></blockquote>
</blockquote>
The friend he was talking about is 21-year-old Joseph Chimezie.<br />
<br />
Chiemezie said he met Ugwu in Anambra State at a joint.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>“He is fond of buying drinks for young men at the joint. I told him 
that anytime he was leaving for Lagos, he should take me along with him 
so I could find a job,” he said.</b></blockquote>
</blockquote>
He said the day he eventually left for Lagos with him, a member of 
Ugwu’s gang took him to Ilasamaja and handed him a bag containing guns.<br />
<br />
According to him, he was told to take the guns to a house but on the 
way, the police stopped him. When they searched the bag, they found guns
 and arrested him.<br />
<br />
Chimezie said, “I don’t know about when they robbed Basketmouth. I did 
not follow them. I did not know that the police were looking for them.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b><br /></b><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>“When they handed me the bag containing the guns, I was 
afraid and would have droppped it and run away but I knew nowhere in 
Ilasamaja. All I wanted was to make a better life for myself in Lagos.”</b></blockquote>
</blockquote>
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, said the suspects would soon be charged to court.

Actor, Rapper and comedian Folarin Falana aka  Falz The Bahd Guy 
could be likened to Albert Einstein. While the latter is a science 
genius, Falz who is a trained lawyer, is nothing short of a phenomenon.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, Falz has been such an phenomenon such that he is 
worthy of study. Yes a Unilag project student decided to do research on 
the entertainer as her project topic. Funny thing is that it got 
approved by her project supervisor. At least you might understand how 
horrific it may be to get an approval from your project supervisor on a 
topic.<br />
<br />
“LANGUAGE USE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY: A STUDY OF FALZ THE BAHD GUY”.<br />
<br />
That’s the project topic as done by <b>Onyeani Chiamaka Faith.</b><br />
Falz who is so delighted to be a subject of research shared the news 
on instagram and pleaded someone helps him locate the student.<br />

Mourinho has hits back at Arsene Wenger after the Arsenal coach warned that the Red Devils are in the danger of falling out as
 front runners in the title race.<br />
<br />
 Wenger during his press conference said  ‘But I think as long as there is not nine points difference 
between them then the teams are in the race.<br />
<br />
‘Over 10 points difference after a third of the season and you can say its too many points.’<br />
Mourinho has now hit back at his arch rival: “When I won the last 
title 18 years ago – sorry 18 months I ago – I had a 10-point advantage 
and then in one month I had the same points as Manchester City,<br />
“We lost 10 points at the end of December or the beginning of January. Then we recovered and won that title.<br />
<br />
“You can recover points, other teams they can lose points. During the
 season there are moments when everything goes against you and there are
 moments where everything goes in your favour.<br />
“We know the game is not over but the reality is that there is a distance and there are many quality teams.”

4 reasons why the malaria vaccine pilots may be a game changer

<h1 class="article-title" itemprop="headline">
<span style="font-size: small;">Last week, the world’s <a href="http://www.gavi.org/library/news/statements/2016/malaria-vaccine-pilots-to-go-ahead/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">first malaria vaccine was given a green light</a>
 to be rolled out as part of large-scale implementation projects in 
three sub-Saharan African countries. With nearly US$ 50 million in 
funding from the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, 
Gavi and UNITAID, this initiative marks a critical step in creating new 
tools for the fight against this devastating disease.</span></h1>
<h3>
<b>1) Malaria remains a major killer</b></h3>
Despite huge progress in the fight against malaria – the number of 
cases has halved since 2000 – the mosquito-borne disease remains a major
 killer. With more than 200 million cases a year, resulting in the 
deaths of around 1,200 children every day, RTS,S, or Mosquirix to use 
its brand name, has become one of the most widely anticipated vaccines. 
Malaria is endemic in almost every country in sub-Saharan Africa (for 
where the vaccine has been designed), as well as large parts of Asia and
 Latin America, and demand for a vaccine is likely to be high. 
Expectations will be even greater. This is the world's first vaccine 
against a parasite.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>2) RTS,S is both safe and effective</b></h3>
In clinical trials, RTS,S was found to be both safe and effective. 
However, it only offered partial protection, with a 39% efficacy at 
preventing clinical cases of malaria over the course of a four-year 
follow-up period. Effectiveness was very much dependent upon children 
receiving all four doses of the vaccine. What’s more, the trials were 
carried out with the vaccine used in conjunction with high use of other 
interventions, such as long-lasting insecticide-treated bed nets and 
anti-malarial drugs.<br />
<h3>
<b>3) Partial protection could go a long way</b></h3>
It is low for a vaccine but given the large number of people at 
risk, providing protection in just four out of 10 cases could still go a
 very long way. Ultimately, it’s the public health impact that counts 
more than the efficacy of the vaccine. Moreover, since there can be more
 than one episode per child, the trials found that the vaccine prevented
 on average 1,774 cases of malaria per 1,000 children.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>4) Pilots will help us get the answers we need</b></h3>
Last year, after RTS,S passed all the required regulatory hurdles, 
two advisory bodies to the World Health Organization – the Strategic 
Advisory Group of Experts on immunisation (SAGE) and the Malaria Policy 
Advisory Committee (MPAC) – recommended against its immediate widespread
 use. These pilots are being carried out first in order to find out how 
well the vaccine performs in a real-world setting, to see how feasible 
it is to get four doses to children – three doses outside of the normal 
childhood immunisation schedule – and in terms of safety.<br />
While we cannot simply roll out the vaccine to everyone, the huge 
potential to save lives and reduce illness now means we cannot justify 
holding off indefinitely. These large-scale four-year pilot projects are
 designed to shed light on how effective the vaccine will be in practice
 by seeing how it performs in a real-life setting, in high and low 
transmission areas, with and without high coverage of other 
interventions. With vaccinations due to begin by 2018, it is hoped that 
we will soon have the answers we need. Given the vast scale of the 
number of people who potentially stand to benefit, it is our duty to 
fill these gaps in our knowledge. And while the testing and hopefully 
implementation of this vaccine goes on, so does the march of science; 
scientists are already working to improve upon its effectiveness as well
 as look towards second generation vaccines.<br />

Niger Delta crisis will be resolved by 2017 – Kachikwu

The
 Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, 
has disclosed that Nigeria was at 2.1 million barrels of oil production 
per day, before the renewed hostilities by militants, but assured that 
the formula for peace in the Niger Delta region of the country would be 
found by next year.<br />

<br />

Kachikwu, who spoke to Bloomberg on the “turmoil” in the region, 
asserted that: “Well, I won’t call it turmoil any more, I would call it a
 bit of disruption.<br />

<br />

According to him, “We’ve passed the turmoil stage, we have moved from
 1.4 million barrels a day to 1.9.We were at 2.1 before we had the last 
incident.<br />

“It is work in progress; we are putting every energy we can. 
President Muhammadu Buhari is very focused on trying to find solutions 
to these problems, and we are working hard on it. We are seeing 
solutions come up, we are seeing acceptance to what we are doing.”<br />

<br />

He went on to express optimism that the Organisation of Petroleum 
Exporting Countries, OPEC, deal will become a reality to push oil prices
 to $50 per barrel, and above.<br />

<br />

The Minister, who is currently at the Liquefied Natural Gas, LNG, 
Producer-Consumer conference in Tokyo, Japan, and presided over OPEC’s 
168th ordinary meeting in Vienna, also stated that a failure to reach a 
deal will crunch prices below $45 a barrel.

Kashim
 Shettima, Governor of Borno State has disclosed that all Internally 
Displaced Person (IDP) camps in the state would be closed down by May 
29, 2017.<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br />
Shettima told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Maiduguri, the state has nearly two million displaced persons.<br />
He said the government had placed priority on the reconstruction of 
communities destroyed by Boko Haram insurgents, to facilitate the return
 of IDPs to their towns and villages.<br />
“We have reconstructed Bama by 25 per cent; my target is to reach 50 
per cent by the end of this year and 75 per cent by first quarter of 
2017.<br />
“I want to close down all IDP camps latest May 29, 2017, because the IDP camps are becoming a huge problem on their own.<br />
“If we allow the entrenchment of these IDP camps, they are pregnant 
with loads of challenges of early child marriage, prostitution, drug 
abuse, gangsterism.<br />
“And we will be confronted with huge social challenges of an 
entitlement complex of people feeling that they are entitled to be 
catered for.<br />
“So in as much as we observe the Kampala convention, we will not compel anybody to return to their communities.<br />
According to him, “by December we are taking back all the people of Kaga Local Government Area.”<br />
Shettima believed that with time, Nigerians would appreciate the 
modest accomplishment of the state towards the resettlement of the IDPs.

Agents of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have

allegations that he bribed a former minister of the Federal Capital 
Territory (FCT), Bala Mohammed, to acquire 54 plots of land in Abuja, 
the Nigerian capital.<br /><br />Two EFCC sources told SaharaReporters that 
Mr. Ayeni was arrested yesterday and has remained in detention because 
he was initially uncooperative.<br /><br />One of our sources added that Mr.
 Ayeni is also being investigated for playing roles in several other 
deals involving former First Lady Patience Jonathan and a former head of

with the former banking executive.<br /><br />Our sources disclosed that Mr.
 Ayeni was still undergoing interrogation and may remain in detention as
 investigators work hard to unearth his many deals.

benevolent God would avert yet another dangerous crisis hovering over 
our great country. Nigeria has suffered too much since attaining 
Independence in the year of our Lord 1960. We have tried all sorts of 
permutations and configurations but nothing has work to our collective 
benefit. Each time we thought we were close to Eldorado, something came 
from the blues to dash our hopes and put us all into absolute disarray.<br />
I sometimes wonder who we have offended as a people and a country. 
Why are we so jinxed? A gracious God actually provided us with 
everything we needed to make our lives as comfortable as we wanted or 
desired. God did not just provide us with what was necessary for 
existence HE lavished upon us goodies that many nations crave for but 
have never seen. However, for some unbeknown reason we chose to be a 
country of excruciating pain and debilitating agony.<br />

We have tried scholars, mediocres and even stark illiterates in 
government, none has taken us far. What exactly is the matter with us? 
This is a question begging for answer. The resolution may well be our 
salvation.<br />

I have gone through this preamble for one major reason. Say what you 
will about former President Olusegun Matthew Okikiolakan Aremu Obasanjo,
 he is one man who knows Nigeria inside out. If you like, call him 
tempestuous, egocentric, cantankerous, or what have you, but you cannot 
remove the word patriotism from his qualifiers. He is a one-man riot 
squad. He is a true General who is not afraid of battles, never mind 
wars. When he talks, the world listens, no matter what he says, or how 
he says it.<br />

The trick he used to acquire such respectability was simple. As our 
military Head of State, General Obasanjo voluntarily handed over power 
to a civilian government at a time it wasn’t fashionable to do such. If 
he wanted, he could have engaged in a merry-go-round transition 
programme but he was very smart by presenting the image of a lover of 
democracy to the world. Everyone, especially, the Western powers, 
applauded him for that singular action. He has reaped the reward many 
times over and indeed is still enjoying the accolade and plaudits that 
are a consequence of his rare feat.<br />

Also, General Obasanjo earnestly attracted and surrounded himself 
with some of our greatest names in academia and started his regular 
summits in Ota farm where he promptly established a humongous poultry 
farm. This was how he began his own personal intellectualisation process
 as well. He was thus able to transfigure from a rambunctious dictator 
to a world statesman. In fact, he was close to becoming the United 
Nations Secretary General. He travelled the globe several times over. At
 a time, he was trailing only The Madiba, Nelson Mandela, in popularity.
 He became the voice of our continent and was invited to chair many 
international occasions and bodies.<br />

Obasanjo seized every opportunity presented to him with both hands. 
He catapulted himself very skilfully to the pinnacle of leadership in 
his home country, Nigeria, and became almost indispensable in matters of
 governance. Obasanjo’s ability to speak up boldly and vociferously 
completed his transformation into the consciousness and conscience of 
our complex and complicated country. He criticised every government that
 came after him but met his nemesis in General Sani Abacha who brooked 
no rascality from any quarter. Before one could say Jack Robinson, 
Abacha had roped Obasanjo into some phantom plot to unseat him and 
pronto Obasanjo landed in an unfriendly archipelago of a prison where he
 languished forlornly before he was mysteriously freed several years 
later. His former deputy, General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua wasn’t that lucky.
 He died in prison under strange circumstances. No one ever expected 
such an ugly fate to befall these highly esteemed and gargantuan leaders
 but this is Nigeria, a country of all possibilities.<br />

As fate would have it, Obasanjo’s excruciating stint in prison was 
compensated by the Nigerian Mafia after a short while following the 
demise of both General Sani Abacha and the man who had won the fairest 
election in Nigeria, Bashorun Moshood Kashimawo Abiola. It is 
interesting that Obasanjo inherited all the goodwill and sacrifices of 
Abiola, his kinsman, but yet never expressed gratitude or appreciation 
to his saviour and benefactor.  That is a story for another time.<br />

Obasanjo was unceremoniously freed from imprisonment and recalled 
from retirement to lead the People’s Democratic Party. By then, Obasanjo
 had become dressed in the robe of invincibility. In a jiffy, he won the
 election against a very cerebral economist, Chief Oluyemisi Falae and 
instantly became one of Africa’s most powerful leaders and secured 
another fist of being a former military dictator turned civilian 
autocrat.<br />

For eight blistering years, whilst Obasanjo was at the helm of 
affairs of this country, he swiftly moved to stamp his authority not 
just on our nation but also on world affairs. He assembled a very 
formidable team. His economic blueprint was awesome. He was somehow able
 to pay off our debts, although the jury is still out on the practical 
effect of the debt forgiveness deal that went hand in glove with this. 
He embarked on aggressive infrastructure development. Everything was 
going well for his government. His vast knowledge of Nigeria and the 
world came in handy for him. He looked poised to truly create a new and 
greater Nigeria. But there was a snag.<br />

Obasanjo and his Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who 
incidentally turned 70 just yesterday (I congratulate and rejoice with 
him), engaged in a debilitating war of attrition that exposed their 
government to incredible perils as things fell apart. We all watched 
incredulously as things spiralled out of control. Obasanjo unleashed 
terror against known and imaginary enemies. His most effective weapon 
then was the war against corruption. A war that now seems to have come 
full circle! Two powerful agencies, EFCC and ICPC, helped to pursue the 
sinners and saints alike with the agility of a thoroughbred warhorse and
 the savageness of a wounded lion. No one dared challenge that 
government.<br />

Time flew at the speed of light. Before long, it was obvious that a 
third term agenda was being laid and hatched from the innermost recesses
 of Aso Rock to the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly. Many 
legislators were being coaxed or coerced into assenting to a bill to 
change the Nigerian Constitution and set the stage for the possibility 
of a third or more terms in power for the President. Somehow, this 
ambitious plan was torpedoed and Obasanjo and his acolytes abandoned the
 ship of third term and started singing a new song.<br />

It remains a mystery how Obasanjo arrived at his decision to force 
Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on Nigeria as 
President and Vice President respectively. A party that paraded Governor
 Donald Duke, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla, Governor Bukola Saraki, Mrs Oby 
Ezekwesili, Mallam Nasir El Rufai, Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, Governor 
Rotimi Amaechi, Governor Olusegun Mimiko, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, and many 
others threw up this less than sparkling combination. Though Yar’Adua 
appeared to be a good leader, his ill-health would soon prove fatal and 
he couldn’t do more than his weak strength could carry. The mantle of 
power fell on the laps of Dr Goodluck Jonathan, a university scholar who
 was expected to push his team hard in some key sectors. That dream also
 evaporated.<br />

The ubiquitous godfather, General Obasanjo, would soon emerge from 
the grove he had retreated into and shred Jonathan, his cohorts and his 
party into smithereens. It is difficult to decipher what truly went awry
 between them but one thing led to another and the falcon could no 
longer hear the falconer. And that was the beginning of the end. Had 
Jonathan known, maybe he should have done everything under the sun to 
offer Obasanjo whatever pacifier was needed and necessary. Obasanjo soon
 assembled a group of strange bedfellows in his bid to get rid of 
Jonathan, by fire by force. The strangest face at his Hilltop mansion, 
in Abeokuta, was that of his former sworn enemy, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed 
Tinubu. Somehow, they were able to brew the concoction that finally 
killed the ruling party and usher in another former enemy, General 
Muhammadu Buhari. Many of us provided the media platforms for this 
conspiracy forged in Hades out of our deep frustration with the manner 
Jonathan ran the affairs of our nation.<br />

Anyway, Buhari took power and many things have happened. Nigeria has 
eventually and ostensibly entered an unprecedented recession. No one has
 a clue of how long it would take before we are out of the woods. The 
voodoo economists have been busy cooking up cocktails upon cocktails of 
economic experiments but none has resolved the intractable crisis.<br />

I had predicted that the romance between Buhari and Obasanjo would 
soon evaporate and many of my friends doubted. I’m sure they did not 
know Obasanjo and his uncommon antecedents well. Put a gun to his 
throat, Obasanjo would still gasp like a stricken chicken but muster 
enough stamina to spit out and regurgitate whatever he had in mind to 
say.<br />

Now the chicken has come home to roost and it seems the same man that
 invented the pencil can also quite easily manufacture the eraser. 
Obasanjo has started talking in sinister overtones. Tinubu has gone 
quiet and cleverly eased himself out of circulation. I don’t know who is
 deadlier, a voluble Obasanjo or a taciturn Tinubu.<br />

I can see some of Buhari’s guys trying to take on both men. I read an
 article credited to Dr Kayode Fayemi on a certain platform and I prayed
 it was pure fabrication and not an interview he actually granted. It is
 gratifying to note that my friend has since come out to deny authorship
 of this Satanic Verses!<br />

It is too early in the tenure of this government to begin the 
hocus-pocus of re-election. Nigeria is dangerously haemorrhaging to 
death on all fronts and what we need is urgent rescue not electoral 
rhetoric. All this in-fighting won’t do us any good. The political 
pugilists should please save Nigeria from this fiendish war of egos. No 
matter what happens, Buhari should cool temper and manage his 
benefactors. Even if the leper cannot squeeze out milk from a cow, he 
can spill out the ones already produced.<br />

No one is above the law but Nigeria deserves some respite after a 
long period of higgledy-piggledy. All men and women of good conscience 
should beg our powerful forces to allow President Buhari and his Vice 
President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo SAN to run their full course of four years
 out of which two are almost gone.<br />

As for me and my house, I’m willing to exercise some patience hoping 
that a miracle can still happen in the life of this government. If 
nothing tangible occurs by the end of next year, then let Nigerians 
start working on how to assemble a new team and strive to attract our 
best materials from every part of the world. It can be done and it 
should be done. I have seen examples of the giant strides being made by 
young African leaders in Rwanda, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Botswana, Tanzania 
and Senegal. Ours should not be too different, after all we remain the 
Giant of Africa!<br />
