“Even Jesus Cannot Save Us” – Comedian Alibaba writes on the state of the Economy

alibaba

The comedian took to his instagram page to pen this down…

“The economy will remain like this for a long while. Because the strings that pull us into dire straits are still pulling us even much stronger. How did we get here? We were making so much from oil and neglected all other sources of revenue.

We did not only neglecte those sources of revenue, we did not invest the revenue from oil in infrastructural development of the country. We were not futuristic in our planning either. Did we increase the number of hostels in our universities to accommodate the new numbers of students? Pay teachers well? Did we build more roads to take care of the millions of cars and transportation needs? Did we improve the services of the police force? Did we use the money to build better hospitals? Did the new industries create more jobs? Did we improve our power supply?

Did we have stronger and modified laws that made sure that people who broke the laws were punished adequately to discourage others? Did we tidy up our pension scheme so that people are assured that they did not need to steal to assure themselves of better retirement?

What have we done to reduce cost of administration? What kind of enabling environment has government created to grow the economy? What have we done to ensure the right people got elected? Have we developed our tourism potentials to attract foreign investors and revenues? Better banks? What have we done to curb corruption? What steps have we taken in the direction of housing? Who has security votes helped? We have failed to do all of that… NOW OUR ALMIGHTY crude prices that were our saving grace are low. The production is even nearly non existent, thanks to militants. There are backlog of owed salaries? Uncompleted projects. Dead refineries. High unemployment and huge numbers of the unemployable. We are borrowing. EVEN JESUS CAN NOT SAVE US unless we create new sources of revenue. What do I know SEF? Shebi I am an ordinary comedian? I dey look.”

What?! 8 Year Old Ugandan Girl Arrested For Lesbianism.

8 year old lesbian

An eight year old girl Ugandan girl has reportedly been arrested on suspicions of ‘lesbianism‘. She was turned over to police after she was allegedly seen kissing her female friends in Uganda.

According to local newspaper, The Monitor, Jinja Police Child Family Protection said that they arrested the girl after a neighbor saw her having “romantic relationships” with other girls her age.

The neighbor told police that the child “repeatedly lured her friends to a farm near her house, where the girls would engage in inappropriate behavior with one another.”

Catherine Wobuyaga, the officer in charge, said the minor is now in police custody. She has apparently confessed to police that she has been “involved” with fellow girls, most of whom are her classmates.

Detectives are now investigating all the adults in the girl’s life to see if one of them might have influenced the child’s decision to engage in these “illicit relationships,”

Victor Odero, Amnesty International’s East Africa Campaigner said :

“The girl should be immediately and unconditionally released if she is still in detention.
“What she needs is protection and respect for her privacy, rather than being treated as a criminal.”

Uganda has stringent laws against homosexuality.

Police Officer Who Offered To Mentor 14 Year Old Girl Gets Her Pregnant Instead.

Mugshot of James Blair 9/1/16Courtesy of Gaston County Jail

A North Carolina police officer has been accused of the statutory rape of a 14-year-old girl he offered to mentor when she was having problems.

James Blair, 51, of the Lowell Police Department, has been charged with one count of statutory rape but more charges will follow, a State Bureau of Investigation spokesperson tells PEOPLE.

Authorities were first alerted of the alleged sexual relationship two weeks ago when the teen’s mother went to local police, WSCO TV reports.

The 14-year-old’s mother told the station she had discovered text messages indicating her daughter was allegedly pregnant with Blair’s child.

“If you keep that baby I’m done and you know it,” one of the messages allegedly read, the woman told the station.

According to WSCO, Blair approached the mother and asked if he could help after her daughter began running away from home.

“To show them ‘Hey police are good,’” she told WSCO.

The mother told the station she’d confronted Blair, who allegedly begged for forgiveness and confessed to her that he had been intimate with the girl in his home and in his patrol car.

Before the investigation, Blair was issued a medical leave. Lowell police did not respond to calls on whether Blair had been disciplined or suspended.

Blair is currently being held in county jail on $1 million bond. A relative of Blair who wished to remain anonymous tells PEOPLE the allegations are shocking.

“He’s a family man. He always took care of his family. It is totally hard to believe that he would do anything like this,” the relative said.

Any man who beats his wife is a devil – Sunny Nneji

neji

Popular Nigerian musician, Sunny Nneji, has lamented the high spate of domestic violence and child abuse in the country.

Nneji told the Sun in a chat:

“I was not molested as a child; that is why I am finding it so difficult to believe this is happening today. What is going on? Are we losing our humanity? I never experienced all those things growing up in my village in Cross River State.

“As a village boy, I started singing and dancing, and those things (abuses) were not common. So, I don’t know what is happening to the society of today. What is going on? It is as if the devil has just descended and he is taking people over and causing them to do terrible things. Parents are molesting children; it is unthinkable and sickening. It is a terrible thing.

“That is why every sane human being needs to stand up against these things. For husbands who beat up their wives, I think it is very childish. They need to grow up. Why would you raise up your hand to beat a woman? It doesn’t make any sense. I heard that some women also beat up their husbands (laughs); women need to grow up too.

“I took part in the recent walk against domestic violence, I hope that it is going to inspire my colleagues in the entertainment industry to stand up and join us in this fight against domestic violence and child abuse. I would also hope that this would prick the consciences of people who engage in such acts and help them to turn around. So, I hope it goes a long way in making an impact.”

The ‘Oruka’ crooner further spoke about marriage, noting that it is not a bed of roses.

He said, “Let me tell you the truth, people have written books and books about marriage, but I tell you that no two marriages are the same. I cannot tell you that I have a formula and you can use that formula and apply to your marriage and it will work. You know why? It is because marriage is between two people from two different backgrounds, who have two different upbringings and they come together.

“Now what make marriages are the two people involved. First, they must decide they want a marriage. It is a choice you make. Once you make up your mind that you want the marriage to be successful then you do everything possible to make it succeed. It does not mean you and your spouse would not have disagreements, you would have disagreements; don’t let us lie to ourselves.

“But you will make sure the disagreement does not degenerate into something destructive and then begin to affect the relationship. It entails the willingness to bend at any point in time, the willingness to shift position. Do not say, ‘This is what I believe, I stand here and if it doesn’t happen this way, then the walls must come down’. No, don’t do that. It is a decision between the two people involved. Once they have decided that they want the marriage to work, it would work.

“There is always a sign that a relationship is going to work out or not, at the dating stage. I am appealing to the young people to be very aware, to open their eyes, and to be very sensitive. If you are dating a guy and he exhibits traits of violence, maybe he hits you, beats you up and then apologises afterwards, that is an indication that you are into a potentially abusive relationship. So, you should do the needful at that point in time.

“It’s very important. Most people go into relationships, saying, ‘oh, he’s going to change. I will change him’, it never happens that way. Once you see a trait, it is going to get amplified as time goes on.

“Now, those who are already in abusive relationship find it a very difficult situation, because you begin to think about the years you have put into the relationship, you begin to think about the children involved, family, and society. How would they see you that you could not stay in your marriage?

“There are so many things you begin to consider, but you as the person in that relationship should come to the understanding that it is probably time for you to do something, something drastic about it because you might end up losing your life. We have heard cases of people losing their lives in abusive relationships. You should get to a point where enough is enough, but elasticity is for whoever is in the relationship to determine. Be sincere with yourself, forget society, forget family, and forget what people would say.

“Look at your life, look at that relationship, look at the children and be sincere with the situation and judge it accordingly,” Nneji added.

Top Nollywood Actress Was Supposed To Secretly Get Married Last Weekend But Her ‘Secret Groom’ Failed To Show Up

A top Nollywood actress was scheduled to wed secretly this past weekend in Milan but her husband-to-be did not show up.

According to Stella Dimokokorkus, the unnamed actress wanted everything to be on a low key, outside the eye of friends and family ; An idea which the parents of the groom-to-be frowned at. Eventually, the unnamed husband-to-be did not show up at the wedding venue.

Read the report below as published by Stella:

”A POPULAR A LIST Nollywood actress was supposed to get married secretly last weekend in Milan but the wedding was called off…

”NNA meeeen,U can GO on and read this gist as i continue … According to the gist from whisperers

”The secretly dating couple fought so much that they called it off and he is said to be so relieved from the cancellation because of the stress the whole put him on. He is allegedly quoted to have vomited that her demands were unbearable” RME.

So is a bride to be is not allowed to have demands?Read further… ”Her demands were about the wedding cos she wanted to code it. She didnt want his parents to tell or invite other people. So his mum had to stomach the whole thing. Even his dad refused to attend (that is if it had held) because he doesn’t understand why the wedding of his son should be coded…So essentially she was calling the shots and no one was supposedly happy about it…”

”Whilst no one liked the Secrecy involved, tickets were bought,his mum still travelled to the location of where it was supposed to hold but wedding didn’t hold. Lover boy is currently in Amsterdam cooling his head while she is attending the TIFF in Canada (for her movie?). Well both were whispered to be in these locations as at two days ago and it is possible they might have travelled somewhere else.

”The wedding cancellation was two weeks ago,however the whisperers did not say if the relationship has been called off as well.

Note that I don’t know how long they dated but it seems the proposal was this year and was the ring the actress flaunted one time on her IG handle that went viral,Remember? You should remember cos her name always rings a bell even though she does not own a Magazine. ”..Like i said,she is one of the names in Nollywood and he is a Basketball agent (abi na Base ball sef?) Yes she is very pretty and has a fan base as large as my backside. I dont know much about the fine young man but i know i can try BODMAS 22-*-5-*-22-5.The first name U know already. What do you call a day before Christmas? There is another word.

I pray they settle their differences and Marry as secretly as they want,na them sabi…I am keeping faith that they will survive this storm!”

Alamieyeseigha’s N2.8bn Chelsea Hotel Rots Away In Abuja (Photo)

chelsea-hotel

Almost seven years after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) handed over the N2.8billion Chelsea Hotel to the government of Bayelsa State, the hitherto money-spinning edifice is rotting away in Abuja.

The hotel was seized from the state’s first civilian governor, the late Diepreye Alamieyeseigha.

A Federal High Court, Lagos in 2007 ordered the forfeiture of the hotel by Alamieyeseigha after the ex-governor was sentenced for corruption.

Besides the hotel, the EFCC sold other Alamieyeseigha assets in Nigeria and realised N3, 128, 230, 294.83billion; $441,000; E7, 000 and £2,000.

The money was remitted to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in accordance with the law, for onward delivery to the state government as ordered by the court.

Former EFCC Chairman Mrs. Farida Waziri on September 7, 2009 handed over the hotel to ex-Governor Timipreye Sylva in Abuja. The thinking was that it would be a source of revenue for the state.

Seven years after the asset was returned to the state government, the hotel has become a haven for miscreants, men of the underworld, rodents and reptiles.

Shady activities are being perpetrated at the abandoned hotel, which poses danger to some shopping malls and banks in the Central Business District of Abuja.

Some of the miscreants have stripped the hotel of vital materials, which has no security.

An EFCC source, who spoke in confidence, said: “As at the time we handed over the hotel, in 2009, the asset was worth N2.8billion. We returned the hotel to Bayelsa State with another asset at No. 2 Marscibit Street, Off Aminu Kano Crescent Wuse II Abuja which was valued at N210million.

“We took a step further by instructing Diya Fatimilehin and Co., former managers of the hotel to provide the state with detailed inventory of assets of the hotel.”

“It is unfortunate that nothing has been done in the last seven years. The land where the hotel is sited attracts either up to N800million to N1billion in Abuja. Yet the asset is allowed to lie fallow. “To the source, the fate of the once throwing hotel is a typical case of how the anti-graft war is being “frustrated and rendered meaningless”

“A former Chairman of EFCC, Mr. Nuhu Ribadu worked day and night to bring Alamieyeseigha to justice but the efforts have come to naught,” he said.

Asked if the EFCC can query the state government on why the hotel has been abandoned, the source said: “Well, there is not much we can do because we have done our best.

“The state’s funds were looted and used to buy the hotel; we traced the loot and recovered the assets. It is left to the state to live up to its pledge to make judicious use of the asset or sell it.

“We have been expecting a status report from Bayelsa State on how it has spent the recovered funds and the utilisation of the returned assets.”

Upon the receipt of the hotel in 2009, Sylva said: “The Bayelsa State Government will not be able to manage the assets by itself. The fund that the state government will receive will also go to building what is called the Transparency Plaza, in the middle of the Yenagoa Central Business District, so that this plaza will be a monument that will be a constant reminder of today.

”As soon as the fund is accessed, we will like to ask you to come to Bayelsa State to lay the foundation of this plaza.

“We will welcome your close monitoring of the expenditure of this fund, after all without the instrumentality of EFCC, we would not have accessed this fund, so it is only good that you know exactly what we are doing. We are running an open government; our budget is on the website, anybody can access it. We are fully committed to transparency and to partner fully with EFCC.”

As at press time, rodents, reptiles, rodents, miscreants, drug addicts have taken over the hotel.

It was gathered that many posh cars and Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) massed up in darkness at the hotel at night for what a source described as “nocturnal deals”.

A concerned bank executive said: “The activities of some miscreants at the old hotel premises constitute security threats to commercial entities in CBD, including choice malls and banks nearby.

“Security agencies and the police should have more than a passing interest in some activities at the old hotel.”

Late Corper Dayo, a member of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC drowned on August 27th after he accidentally slipped of a boat while boarding a jetty to the community where he was serving.

His body was found two days later floating in the river. The deceased was laid to rest on Friday, Sept 2nd.

A Facebook user shared the photos along with a tribute.

“Corper Dayo was someone who didn’t say more than 100 words in a day.

Corper Dayo was someone who never looked for trouble.

Corper Dayo was someone who smiled in French
Corper Dayo was someone who always seeked the face of God.

We the Isaka, Port Harcourt corp members sadly bid farewell to our friend who was one of us but lost his life last week Saturday.

Corper Dayo crossed the river to have a haircut in preparation for the next day (Sunday service) but unfortunately did no make it back to us after his haircut because he reached the island and accidentally slipped off the boat as he was trying to climb up the jetty leading to the community where we stay.

We cried our eyes out in prayers begging God to rescue him while the searcher swept the river. Unfortunately according to the wish of God, he was only found two days after floating in the river. Corper Dayo was finally laid to rest on 2/09/2016.

We say may his soul rest in perfect peace. AMEN

I also use this medium to urge our fellow corpers who are posted in riverine area to be very careful and also put on your life jackets no matter how small the river may be”

“Although, I won’t say there weren’t some challenges along the way, I am just being focused. And I have been praying about it and God has just been helping me. So, it’s been God all the way.”

For her husband, Lanre Gentry, it was not an easy task getting the woman’s attention. He reportedly had to pay a huge sum of money before getting Aigbe’s consent for marriage.

He narrated an incident where he promised to pay a lady the sum of N50,000 so that she can convince the actress to talk to him.

According to Naij News, “On getting there, I met one lady, Bimbo. I was inside my car. Bimbo called her out. She refused. I now told Bimbo to talk to Mercy, that if she agrees I will give her N50, 000″, he said.
