Ile-Ife Crisis: Stop provoking Hausa people, AYCF warns Yoruba organisations
The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has warned Yoruba groups including the Afenifere over comments credited to the latter over the recent killings in Ile-Ife, Osun state.
A clash between the Hausa community and the indigenes of Ile-Ife on March 8, 2017 led to the death of some Nigerians, most of them reportedly from the north.
The Nigeria police had waded into the crisis and arrested some people. However, some Yoruba groups have kicked saying that only Yorubas were arrested.
The leader of the AYCF, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, said the comments from the Yoruba groups amounted to a gang-up to harass and intimidate the courts and the police from investigating and punishing those found guilty so that a repeat of the sad episode would be avoided.
“We take exception to those marauders who are hiding behind ethnic umbrella and are desperately trying to pervert the course of justice.
“We are cautioning them to tread carefully so that their latest action would not provoke reprisal attacks, because this is an important period in the history of this nation, when all compatriots are working hard to address the multiple challenges confronting the nation, economically, politically and socially,” AYCF said.
The northern group reminded the Afenifere that the Hausas have displayed maturity by not going after the millions of Yoruba citizens doing business in their region.
“This is a demonstration of respect for the rule of law and not cowardice. We are aware that no one has the monopoly of violence or creating hot-air balloons in order to cover up an organized attack on people doing legitimate business in any party of our country.
“We watched with dismay, how the Afenifere is beginning to fan the embers of hatred against the victims and creating heroes out of the attackers. This amounts to a subtle ethnic cleansing campaign and we wish to warn Afenifere and its paymasters to shun such a dangerous act.
“It was unfortunate that a few loquacious Yoruba sons have joined the bandwagon by shouting to the roof tops, in a calculated attempt to dissuade the courts and law enforcement agencies from doing the needful.
“For the records, one-time vice presidential candidate in the 2007 elections, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has launched a negative campaign against the Nigerian police for detecting and carrying out the arrest of prime suspects in the clash. Other tribal champions include Femi Fani-Kayode; and the Yoruba Youth Council (YYC), which bought airtime on Channels TV, just to condemn the arrest of the suspects,” AYCF said.
AYCF added: “Let the Afenifere and their fellow collaborators in this massive cover-up campaign bear in mind that we, the Northerners, are watching and if we were not law-abiding, we would have followed the same path of ethnic antagonism and defending the indefensible.
“We can only stress that this is a crucial moment in the history of this nation and the most important thing is how to move forward in all spheres by shunning acts capable of breeding large-scale violence in the North in the name of reprisal attacks
“To make matters worse, it is in the news that Afenifere has hired eight SANS who have. s is unacceptable and the Nigerian law knows no sacred cows, whoever breaks the law must be made to face the consequences of his deeds, no matter how highly placed. No amount of media propaganda should be allowed to make the innocent people killed in Ile-Ife to look like sacrificial lambs.
“We urge the Nigerian judiciary to let justice take its full course and ignore the ranting of tribal jingoists, masquerading as champions of ethnic cleansing agenda.
“It is now evident that Afenifere has openly endorsed the killings, especially as they were all quiet when the killings were going on and shamelessly came out after the arrests by security agents have been made. Let this be last time anyone would be shielded for killing fellow citizens in the name of ethnic or tribal agenda. We have had enough of this rubbish.”

Parents of NAF personnel murdered by jealous lover finally speak out
The parents of the slain Nigerian Air Force personnel, Solape Oladipupo, who was killed by her colleague and jealous lover, Bernard Kalu, has revealed that their daughter ended the relationship after they told her about a prophecy they received in church, which warned the deceased against engaging in any romantic relationship in her place of work, Daily Sun reports.
Mr. and Mrs. Tolani Oladipupo also revealed that the deceased already has a five year-old daughter.
Solape was 16 years when she gave birth to the girl, who currently lives with them.
Solape, who was popularly known as Shomzy was murdered by her jealous lover over the suspicion of infidelity in Makurdi, Benue State on March 12th. She was buried last Thursday, at the cemetery in Ojo Military Barracks, Ojo, Lagos. Her mother collapsed and fainted as the remains was being lowered.
Speaking with Sunday Sun in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, Mrs. Oladipupo said that the family received a prophecy warning the deceased against engaging in any relationship with anybody at her base in Makurdi.
She further revealed that her daughter was planning on ending the relationship shortly before she was murdered.
.
"We were given a prophecy in our church to tell her not to ever date anyone where she worked and we told her. That was when she decided to part ways with Kalu. We didn’t know it was going to lead to this. Even one of her uncles called her to tell her. I think that was how she took the bold step to tell Kalu she wasn’t interested in the relationship anymore. We didn’t know it would result in this. Her father and I gave her a stern warning not to ever get involved in any romantic relationship with anyone within her base,” she said.
Speaking in an emotion-laden voice shortly after Solape’s remains were interred, the deceased’s father, Mr. Tolani Oladidupo, who described her death as a huge loss said getting justice for the deceased would be a major source of succour for the family.
“Her death is a huge loss to us and we can’t just express how much of pains and agony we share as a family over the death of Solape. You can see that I am just trying to be a man, pacifying my wife and children. I insist that what can provide a kind of succour to us as a family is to see government do something about the case.
"I can say her death is our own sacrifice to the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We cannot wake her up again and I am not here to trade my late daughter, but the government should do the needful,” he said, insisting on death penalty for his daughter’s killer.
How did you get the news of your daughter’s death?
When I received the new I became unconscious and fainted immediately. When I was resuscitated, it was still like a dream to me. I still spoke with her the day before she was murdered. I have lost over 70% weight, right now. When we were talking that night, she even said was going to speak with her daughter, and she did.
You mean she had a child already?
Yes (showing our reporter the child).
What’s the name of her child?
Her name is Bisola Ogunyemi.
And as it is now, how are you taking the loss?
The person who killed my daughter won’t go unpunished. He has said he was going to die too and he should be made to die. In a situation where Kalu’s family hires a lawyer to defend him, I will view it as an attempt to cheat us. I know justice would still prevail.
Did you have any premonition that such a thing would happen?
I have never thought I would lose anyone of them at all. In our church, we were given a prophecy to tell her not to ever date anyone where she worked and we told her. That was when she decided to part ways with Kalu. We didn’t know it was going to lead to this. Even one of her uncles called her to tell her. I think that was how she took the bold step to tell Kalu she wasn’t interested in the relationship any more. We didn’t know it would result in this. Her father and I gave her a stern warning not to ever get involved in any romantic relationship with anyone within her base. That was the prophecy we had. Yes, she told me about Kalu and that was why we had to accept one Sola, who was always calling me, although I have never met him.
Would you say you regret allowing your daughter join the military?
I won’t say that. No regret because the people there are humans too. There is no job that doesn’t come with its own risk. The rest there are humans too and some even grew very old on the job and retired. She had got an admission into the Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education before she was recruited into the Nigerian Air Force.
So, you don’t have any regret whatsoever?
No, I don’t have any regret. In fact, I don’t mind if the government can compensate the family by recruiting some of her siblings into the military.

Nigerian Soldiers Beat A Man To Death In Ogun State
A Nigerian soldier
Igbo would have been President if they understood Nigerian politics – Igbokwe
By Olasunkanmi Akoni
What is your assessment of the APC FG-led administration in the last two years? We have recorded monumental achievements. Though, people want to see achievements in terms of money or food on their table, we have embarked on laying a very important foundation to transform Nigeria from a corrupt nation to a progressive one. If one does not have the third eye, he or she may not see it. We all know that corruption is a hydra-headed monster in this country.
And the President has declared war against things that affect the development of the country. This is because we have lost several years without nothing being done and that is why we have infrastructural decay. For over 16 years, we battled to make available 10,000 megawatts of electricity in spite of the huge funds allocated to the sector annually. And it is pathetic that yearly, we are regaled with the same story from the administrators of the sector.
The present administration has decided to address the issues and make the country great again. For instance, the man at the head of the administration, President Muhammadu Buhari, went into the judicial system and exposed the corruption within the third tier of government. And this is one area that many never dared to put their searchlight on.
Meanwhile, people who don’t want this country to move forward following the war declared against corruption are fighting back and some people are wishing the President dead. I remember that before the 2015 elections, I prophesied that APC will win but events thereafter will not be rosy. And that corrupt elements will fight back after accumulating resources over the years. Don’t forget that it took the progressives about 30 years to come to power.
I remember that the journey for the progressives started in 1985. Between that time and 1993, we had M.K.O Abiola but they killed in 1998. Despite winning the election that was free and fair, they could not accept the man’s presidency. Many Yoruba leaders were jailed while others were chased out of the country. Others killed at that time include Suliat Adedeji, Kudirat Abiola. Those killed were big guns in South-West. The loss suffered by the region led to the emergence of President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999. The North couldn’t provide any presidential candidate as the South-West produced the two presidential candidates. We (progressives) were robbed in 1999 because Obasanjo wasn’t the South-West candidate. It was Chief Olu Falae. It was those forces against the progressives that ensured Obasanjo emerged as President. And one can’t go far before understanding the reasons Obasanjo’s region didn’t vote for him even in his ward, council, state and the entire South-West. And when OBJ was asked before the elections, Villa, he responded that he didn’t forget anything in the seat of power. It was strange to him that some forces wanted him in power. Obasanjo was almost dead in jail. If you ask Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, he will tell you OBJ did nothing for the South-West for eight years. This is because he wasn’t prepared for the post. He didn’t know what to do after assuming office. It was after two years that he got his bearing. After 1999, we struggled again to get a progressive into power. It started with Alliance for Democracy (AD) in Lagos State and, today, we have a progressive in power at the federal level. Two years after we assumed power, Nigerians have started complaining that they haven’t seen the change promised by the administration. But I want to urge them to look deeper. They should open their eyes and see the plans the administration has for this country. First, the Buhari-led administration has started the diversification of the country’s source of income. Before this administration, we could not achieve our oil quota because militants threatened that if former President Goodluck Jonathan did not win, they will cripple the economy. And we have seen it. They have blown up gas pipelines and other facilities in the Niger-Delta region. And that is why we could not achieve stability in power supply. Also, the price of crude oil dropped. That is why the Buhari administration has decided to look towards agriculture, especially rice production, on which huge money was spent yearly on its importation. And Lagos, Kebbi and others have taken the lead. I know that before the end of 2018, the country would have achieved so much. What gives you that confidence that Nigeria will achieve great things by the end of 2018? First is the President because the buck stops on his table. We are not praying for the demise of Mr. President but, if anything happens to him today, government will continue.
He has a competent Vice President that will take over the affairs of government. The President is human like the over 170 million Nigerians, who can fall sick. This is the only President that has allowed his vice to run the affairs of the country. Obasanjo didn’t do that for Atiku and the late Musa Yar Adua didn’t do it for Jonathan. Those leaders who didn’t sign-off to allow their vice run government affairs took us 30 years behind civilization. After the bombing of the World Trade Centre in the United States, do you know how many years it took the government to clear the ground? If I am to bomb Lagos, it would not take one more than 25 minutes to bring the state to a standstill. And don’t forget that it took several years before Lagos could achieve all it has at present. To return the state after the act would require years. Building this country is not a tea-party. Nigeria is like a broken city, a city after war. When one examines the system, one will realize that in the oil sector, there isn’t enough money; infrastructure, we don’t have. And having infrastructure could help make the country a destination for tourists just like Dubai in United Arab Emirate (UAE).
We need to build and it requires time to build a broken city. Aside time, you need huge funds and there is no money currently at the disposal of this government. So it requires the government to look inward. And looking inward, the government introduced TSA and shut about 20,000 accounts. No government before Buhari aimed to build Nigeria. The building of Nigeria has just started. It is pathetic that previous governments, whenever they visited foreign countries, didn’t copy what they saw to improve Nigeria. For eight years, former Governor Babatunde Fashola begged the Federal Government to handover the Airport Road to him, the PDP-led government refused. I know what it took the government before it could secure the release of Ikorodu Road to allow the construction of the BRT lane. I understand the struggle because when we gave telecom operators the permission to lay fibre optic cables, we were challenged by the Federal Ministry of Works; claiming that the road belongs to the central government and that the state did not have the right to give anyone the road to lay cable. I approached Fashola, who gave me the papers signed by ex-President Obasanjo which indicated that the road had been handed over to the state government. I remember that Asiwaju Bola Tinubu wanted to build a power station that would have improved power supply in the state but the Federal Government kicked against the project because they knew that immediately Lagos is removed from the sector, it would be reduced to nothing. In order to prevent the plan, the then administration kept on saying that the power sector was an Exclusive List. That is why Fashola decided to build six small power stations to provide electriity for government offices, hospitals and other government projects. What is your view on the claim that your party does not have the blueprint to move Nigeria forward? Don’t forget that Buhari was a minister, head of state and he had contested for the presidency thrice before winning in 2015. And if anyone says he didn’t have blueprint for the country, then the person doesn’t know what he is saying. Nigerians are also saying that Buhari’s policies are anti-people, especially with the ban placed on the importation of some items.What do you say to this? I remember that when India banned the importation of textiles, the citizens of that country wondererd what will they wear? And they were asked to go naked. But, today, the country has one of the largest textile industries in the world. And the policy banning rice importation has started yielding result. One of the results is LAKE rice. For years, I have been hearing about Abakaliki rice and they have not moved it beyond the primitive stage. If we fail to close the door, we will not achieve anything. What do you think can bring unity between the Yoruba and Igbo? Until the Igbo wake up from their slumber, they will not realise the need for cooperation. The 1993 presidential election provided the Igbo the opportunity to cement their relationship with the South-West because we needed to bridge that gap.
The North was able to actualize the annulment of that election because the Igbo failed to stand with the Yoruba. It was only a few of us who stood with Abiola – myself, Ndubuisi Kanu, Payne Jackson – among others. When we put the issue before our people, they claimed that the Igbo had fought their own civil war and that it was the turn of the Yoruba to fight their own. I like the ruggedness of the Yoruba. While the Yoruba were confronting their issues, the Igbo were busy clapping and that is why we warned them that if with the sophistication of Yoruba leaders and this was happening to them, the Igbo weren’t safe. I wrote in my book that I didn’t know that I was a slave in Nigeria until Abiola won the 1993 presidential election. If Abiola with his calibre could be treated that way, it baffled me then. Kudirat Abiola was killed to provoke the Yoruba to war. And the aim was to destroy Lagos. But Bola Ige said no. If it was the Igbo that were provoked like the Yoruba, there could have been another war. But the Yoruba resisted the North’s temptation and they decided to use their pens and newspapers to fight the war. Why are Igbo always divided on the issues affecting the country? They don’t understand Nigerian politics. And that is my problem with them. Nigerian politics is not business. After the demise of Yar Adua, what I expected the Igbo to do was to ask Jonathan to finish the four years of Yar Adua and allow the North to have their eight years. And by 2015, the President would have come to the South-East. They (Igbo) were cajoled with the belief that no one could defeat the incumbent. But Jonathan appointed some Igbo in his cabinet The question you should ask is, what value did the appointments add to the South-East? And what did Obasanjo’s eight years give to South-West? We had six ministers from the South-East in Jonathan’s cabinet. And did they add any value to the South-East. People must begin to understand that once they assume any position, it isn’t for their friends and families, rather it is for everyone. One man had the opportunity to build the Onitsha airport while serving as Obasanjo’s close aide but declined, arguing that he would start the job when he became the governor of the state. But fortune didn’t favour him because two weeks after he was sworn-in as governor, he was sacked. It is pathetic that my people don’t know how to play politics. When do you think it will be ripe for the Igbo to vie to be President? It is simple. The time for the South-East is 2023. But Obasanjo said that 2019 should be the year. The ex-President is about creating another crisis for the South-East. The North will spend their eight years. I want the Igbo to understand that they must support others before they can also receive support. The North hasn’t finished their eight years. What the late Yar’Adua did wasn’t up to eight years. We want them to finish their two terms before we step in. If this is done, there will be no complaint from northerners that they have been short-changed. There is a caveat for the Igbo to get power and that is pitching their tent with APC. Do you see APC ruling Nigeria for eight years with the state of the country and the economy? APC will rule Nigerian for many years to come. Do you see Bola Tinubu, national leader of your party, leaving to form a mega party? I can assure you that Asiwaju can never leave APC.One cannot build a house and destroy it overnight. It is our duty to make APC succeed. Mega party is a figment of imagination of some people. If we leave the APC, how do you want Nigerians to take us serious? Don’t forget where we were coming from- AD, AC, ACN. Asiwaju is done with forming new parties.
I can assure you that Buhari will rule this country for eight years. And those complaining now will come to eat the humble pie. What President Buhari planned for Nigeria was what Singaporean ex-President, Lee Kuan Yew, did for his country. It is sad that people don’t believe in foundation and it is that foundation that determines the longevity of the structure.

The Truth About Sarkodie Death Hoax
Read the truth about Sarkodie death hoax. .
Its all over the news that Ghanas Fastest Rapper confirmed dead in Johannesburg, South Africa following a shooting incident at the Movida Club in Sunninghill last night.Shot according to a fake website.Fans Sarkodie didn't take this viral news likely at all.
Loyal Fans of sarkodie have been been wondering whether theirrkodie favorite rapper is still alive or dead. Meaning the hash-tag ” sarkodie dead ” has been trending and news about sarkodie’s death have seen many interest. Many are still wondering if Sarkodie is really dead , many cant still believe sarkodie is dead.
In what turned out to be a hoax, the amorphous website (meganews360) either faked the news to attract readership to boost hits or was grossly misinformed by a source of which I doubt
In the Internet era, an arm of journalism that focuses on fake news is emerging. This trend of fake news is more prominent in the US, Europe and Asian countries. While some fake news is produced purposefully by bloggers seeking to make money from advertising, false information can also arise from misinformed social media posts by regular people that are seized on and spread through a hyper blogosphere.

QUEENS COLLEGE: Fear grips parents as more students fall ill
ByBy Elizabeth Uwandu
lagos—The last has not been heard about the Queens College health saga as a more students of the school are being hospitalised even as parents have renewed calls for investigations into circumstances surrounding the deaths of two students, Vivian Osainiyi and Bithia Itulua.
Vanguard gathered that two of the sick students are currently on admission at the Child Emergency Unit of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, Idi-Araba, and another is under observation at the University of Lagos Medical Centre.
The first girl, an SS1 student named Joy, was in a critical condition when she was rushed to the Emergency Unit of the hospital by her parents Friday last week.
Her mother, who spoke to Vanguard, said she (Joy) was incoherent even after she was admitted.
“She was running temperature, vomiting and stooling. We had to rush her to LUTH. You can see my daughter, at a point here in the hospital, she was saying things that were not discernible. That scared me and I started calling on God for healing.”
Corroborating his wife’s claims, Joy’s father confirmed she was under close observation but responding to treatment.
“Due to my state of mind, I can’t say much. But it is a fact that my daughter had infection and diarrhoea,” he stated.
The second girl on admission, Muninat, a JSS 3 student was said to be responding to treatment, according to her father.
“Well, I can’t say much. But God bless the new principal who has been going from one hospital to the other to visit the students. For now, my daughter is in critical condition, but she is still breathing. Although, I can’t tell you what is wrong with her now as we are still running tests on her. The symptoms that made us rush her here were stooling and vomiting with severe headache and high body temperature,” the dad said.
One Mr. Ajumobi, also a parent said his daughters fell sick after they returned home for the mid-term break.
When contacted on phone, he said: “Yes, my two daughters at Queens College were both sick. But the older one in SS3 first started complaining of stomach pains and was treated after they came back for the break. What baffled me was that on Tuesday this week, the younger girl in JSS 3 started complaining of the same pain of the lower abdomen. Hence, we had to rush her to the hospital, where she is still receiving treatment now.’’
Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state has given Fulani herdsmen in Tombo-Mbalagh, Buruku Local Government Area of the state a two-day ultimatum to leave the community.
The order was given by the governor on Monday in Tombo-Mbalagh during a visit to ascertain the casualties and damage inflicted on the community by herdsmen.
Ortom’s visit is coming on the back of the recent attacks on the community by the cattle rustlers during the weekend.
Speaking on the attacks, the Sole Administrator for the council area, Mrs Justina Sorkaa, said eight bodies have been recovered, while three persons are missing.
Sorkaa’s account was contradicted by the state police commissioner, Bashir Makama, who insisted that six persons died in the attack.
Ortom said that he had directed security agencies as a matter of urgency to lead herdsmen out of the area for peace to reign.
He said the herdsmen must leave since they were not welcomed by the unarmed inhabitants of the area.
It is understood that majority of the resident in the state were disarmed through the amnesty programme executed by the Ortom administration in 2015.
”Some of the displaced persons have moved in with their relations in Buruku town and those who do not have anywhere to go are with us in an improvised IDP camp here at St Peter’s Anglican Primary School, Imenger,”the Sole Administrator, Mrs Justina Sorkaa said.
