A suspected member of a syndicate vandalizing pipelines of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Jamiu Ajani, said yesterday, Wednesday, 19th of August, 2015, that he did not know selling petrol obtained from the act amounted to crime.
Ajani was arrested alongside his accomplices, Demola Lawrence and Raymond, by operatives of the Inspector General of Police Special Task Force on Pipeline Vandalism, which recovered 300 units of 50-litre jerry cans loaded with premium motor spirit, PMS, from them.
Speaking with Vanguard, the 30 year old said:

“I used to sell building materials at Ketu before venturing into this business. It was some of my customers from Ikorodu that got me into the business.I discovered that they were making more money than I. So I begged them to show me the way. They said I could not go into the creeks because I do not know how to swim, but I could always buy and sell the products to people who need it.
“I was introduced to some buyers at Ijora and some other parts of Lagos State. I buy a 50-litre jerry can for N2,000 and I sell it for N4,000.“On my first job one month ago, I bought 250 50-litre jerry cans for N500,000 from an Ijaw woman, known as Mama Bose, and I sold them for N1,000,000.
“The second job was just last week and I bought 150 jerry cans of 50 litres for N300,000. My biggest job was the one that led to my arrest. I bought 300 jerry cans from Mama Bose for N600,000 and I was hoping to make a profit of over N600,000.
“My boy, Damilola, the driver of the truck we were using and I were intercepted by police on our way to supply the products to a buyer. I did not know selling petrol from vandalised pipelines was a crime.”
The syndicate was intercepted by the task force at Owode area of Ikorodu in a Chevrolet truck, while transporting the stolen products to buyers in various parts of Lagos State.
Bode said in a recent statement that there is no way Buhari can start an anti-corruption campaign without considering last Lagos State governor, Fashola for appointment in the light of the N78.3m of taxpayers’ money Fashola spent on a personal website.
“We are living in a very interesting time. There is an air of repugnancy everywhere most especifically in my state where the immoral stench and the dark odium of Mr. Babatunde Fashola’s administration is daily being unearthed.
“What is most disgusting and annoying in all these is the arrogant and the befuddled attempt of Mr. Fashola to justify the apparent reckless misappropriation of Lagos state taxpayers’ money to set up a personal web site.
“Fashola shows no remorse, no semblance of regret, no guilty nudging of conscience. Instead, he still attempts to ride a high horse, puffing and stomping in feigned seraphic innocence. We are not fooled.”
We knew all along that the emperor had no clothes. Using N78m of taxpayers’ money to build a website is reckless misappropriation. The phony over N29bn used to build a mere kilometre long link bridge is outrageous venality.
“The spurious N1.5bn allegedly spent on phantom pedestrian bridges is another con game. And there are so many of these screaming illegalities observable in the record of our poster boy of yesterday!”
“In a more just society, Mr. Fashola should be facing a comprehensive investigation rather than being considered for any appointment at all. President Buhari should use the Fashola case as an acid test of sparing no one with any intimation of public malfeasance.
“Rather than engaging in a smug chest beating of innocence, Mr. Fashola should first remove himself from any consideration of public appointment and openly call for a judicial probe of his eight years in office.
“Nothing else will bring out the true picture. Lagos State is now the biggest debtor in the federation with over a trillion naira in bad debts. It may take at least 40 years before Fashola’s indebtedness can be defrayed! What a malady!”
“In the end there is no way to divorce Fashola from Bola Tinubu. They are both linked in unutterable complicity. If Fashola stands today in tarnished allegations, Tinubu, his godfather, cannot possibly distance himself in innocent escapism.
“If Fashola now rots in the mud, we must look through the depths to understand the instigating and factor. Whenever Fashola is cooling his feet at the interrogation centre, Tinubu should not be far behind.”
The authorities of the University of Ilorin reportedly prevented 35 candidates, mostly female from taking part in the post- UTME screening over indecent dressing.
It was gathered that the candidates had assembled at the centre designated for the computer based (CBT) test at the permanent site of the University when officials in charge of the test turned them back on account of their dressing considered not decent enough.
The authorities of the University, had in an advertorial before the commencement of the test, set guidelines for prospective candidates, one of which compels candidates to dress decently to the examination venue.
It was learnt that the pleas by the candidates were turned down in line with the varsity’s zero tolerance for indecent dressing and other anti-social conducts.
With the development, the affected candidates may have automatically forfeited their chances of writing the crucial examination, which allows them admittance into the University.
When contacted, Deputy Director of Corporate Affairs of the University, Mr. Kunle Akogun, said he was not aware of the development, but added that “it is possible”, because of the war against indecent dressing on the campus.
Meanwhile, the bus terminus on the University campus was filled with passengers, mostly post- UTME candidates scrambling to board few taxi-cabs that were on ground.
It was gathered that the commercial drivers shuttling between Unilorin Main Campus and Tanke Tipper Garage, took advantage of the moment to exploit the candidates.
It’s been very interesting to hear what a lot of guys have had to say,’ ‘I feel like in a sense it’s a bit of a double standard, because at one point in time when we were together, I took care of his kids as well – at a very young time in our relationship.”I was involved very early in the stage of us getting to know each other,’ she said.
Future, who ignited the diss, had earlier said:

Kcee and E-Money led recording company, Five Star Music has fired its General Manager, Soso Soberekon following an alleged publicity stunt by him involving its artiste, Skiibii last week.

If you recall in 2014, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and his wife Anita, who now goes by her maiden name Ebhodaghe caused quite a stare when news of divorce between the two hit the net.
The divorce was filed in April 9, 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, United Kingdom on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour” and for the first time since that divorce, Anita is now speaking.
Anita took to her blog to discuss how her life has been changing as of late making some serious references to her marriage as she wrote. She wrote:
It is my desire to reach out and inspire you especially if you feel vulnerable and in need of a change. I hope to inspire you to believe in yourself no matter the circumstances. I want to help you recreate your life going forward, so you can live beautifully.
I have been through this journey of rediscovery and nothing is as beautiful as realising one’s uniqueness as I have done. Life is a precious however, your life can go through different seasons: winter, spring, summer or autumn.
Life can hit you with financial loss, disappointments, death of a loved one, a broken relationship, loss of a job, a divorce, being falsely accused or being a victim of crime. These can shatter you to pieces but you can do something about it.
Life is a gift from God and you deserve to be happy irrespective of your age, race, gender, background or financial situation. I urge you to appreciate the gift you are, you are precious and valuable. Never lose sight of who you are; begin to create new visions and dreams for your life.
Let nothing stop you from growing every day. My story is not one of a bed of roses, far from it but I had a choice to either beat myself over the regret of tolerating abuse for so long or put a stop to the abuse and recreate my life for the best. My journey was not in vain. I can now help others realise that their situation does not define them.
In order to move on with life, I have come to realise that nothing is permanent. Your problem is not permanent; you can do something to change it by ensuring you do not allow the situation or the person make your life miserable. Pain is a fact of life, it is inevitable but suffering is optional.
You can do something to change the pain by over looking every obstacle, take control as a force of nature to grow and expand. Do what is necessary now to use the gift God has given you to unleash your purpose.
My message to all is simple: you have value therefore discover your potential. Do not allow anybody destroy you or rob you of living a joyful life. Your life is not wasted; you have just started a different phase of life. God will show you how to use your testimony to help others and restore their lives to exuberance.
Please join me to encourage and inspire others. You have a story to tell, you can contribute and participate in the dialogues here. Let us all learn from one another’s experience and reach others with the gift of love and kindness. Share your experience by emailing me or making a comment. Celebrate your uniqueness because there is only one of you.

NBA Player/Ex-Husband of Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom just might have got a grip of how he made a mistake divorcing his wife, Khloe.
Speaking to Intouch Magazine, the basket ball star stated that if any man is attempting to take his ‘wife’ to court (marry), that man is wasting his time.
“We spoke [beforehand] A misunderstanding between me and my wife became public. It’s hurtful. That woman is my wife. Without the ring on my finger. [Even] with her picture being taken with another man, that woman is my wife.” “She’s [my] soul mate,” I can’t control it. We’ll never part. I would never consider myself serious with another woman. To sum it up, if a man is attempting to court Khloé, he’s probably wasting his time. And the weirdest part about it is because I really know how she feels about me.”

Chidinma said she’s still single. According to her,
“Why I am still single? Maybe, because I’m yet to see the man who is made for me or the person is yet to find me. So I am single and happy. The fact is I had few friends and some wanted to take the relationship seriously, but it never worked out. Though, I have a lot of male friends around me, but there has never been anything serious. Several stars have been crushing on me, in fact, I thought I would have been crushed by now. But to be honest, am dating none of them.”
“If I start telling you about him, we won’t leave here. He’s my good friend. We both insult each other every time. When the story came out, I was not surprised because we both are very close.”
On Flavour, she said
“music brought us together and nothing more and if he had asked me out the answer would have been a capital ‘NO’”
I’m sure You all must have heard about the Five Star Music Artiste – Skiibii’s alleged death story. Where After news broke about he was dead, a lot of tributes poured in from Nigerians, fans and even celebrities. .and Then From no where, Kcee came out to say he’s not dead but ‘Responding to Treatment’.
Oh well, Watch Below a 25 minute interview where Kcee, Harrysong, and Skiibii talked about the alleged death, misconceptions and all the intrigues surrounding his ‘Death’ with Do2dtun of Cool FM.
In the interview, Skiibii says the Picture which showed he was dead was taken way back during a Nelson Mandela Event in south Africa, he also said he blacks out a lot and what happened on that day was one of it. The Blackout was caused by anxiety.

MAVIN‘s boss, Michael Collins popularly referred to asDon Jazzy, in a seldom interview with City People magazine, revealed the secret behind his great tracks.
When the Producer was told he seems to have the Midas touch, he said:
“I don’t know about the Midas touch, but I think what it is, is that, I understand the market first, I also understand people to a large extent, the common problem with people in the industry is not really understanding the individuals they deal with, either the artiste of their staffs, I run a very beautiful organization where everyone is friends. We are family, I don’t come and start using veto power, because I am the boss, the greatest idea might come from the little guy there.
So I listen to everybody and it works. As for music I try to experiment sometimes, but I don’t go out of the box to say I want to over experiment in a way that it is not what people want. If it is akara that you want to sell, it’s the akara that you will sell. You don’t have to start putting jam inside akara. Then it’s not akara anymore, it is something else, the least you can do is to put small pepper to taste, you cannot now go over outside the box and say you want to put your name on top of the akara and stuffs like that. Over the years there has been the kind of music Nigerians like. This is the kind of music my mother and my father dances to and their friends too, then we just stick to the formula and it works for us”
A 25-year-old man, John Okafor, was nabbed by Operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for being in possession of N48m.
The suspect who was said to be among the passengers of a commercial bus coming from Onitsha, Anambra State, was apprehended with the money on the Abaji-Abuja Expressway on Monday by the anti-narcotic officials who were on a routine patrol.
Okafor insisted that the money belonged to an unnamed bureau de change firm in Onitsha, adding that he was an employee of the firm. He said he was heading for the foreign exchange market in the Federal Capital Territory to convert the sum to dollars when he was arrested.
He said:
“I work for a bureau de change in Onitsha. I was asked to purchase dollars at the foreign exchange market in Abuja with the money. When we got to Abaji, our vehicle was searched and the money was found. That is all I know.”
Meanwhile, a drug dealer, Chukuka Ugbai, was also arrested with 79 bags of dried weeds said to have tested positive for cannabis in Bako village in the Kwali Area Council, Abuja during the Monday patrol.
It was learnt that the drug, weighing 817 kilogrammes was found in his warehouse.
Ugbai, however, said he was amazed that the operatives were able to track him to his residence, where the drug warehouse was located, adding that he took to drug trafficking to fend for his family.
“I was not lucky enough because I don’t know how they detected my cannabis warehouse. I sell cannabis to take care of my family and pay my children’s school fees. The officers found 79 bags of cannabis in my store.”
The FCT commander of the NDLEA, Mrs. Chinyere Obijuru said:
“Okafor was on board a commercial bus from Onitsha in Anambra State when N48,450,000 was found in a brown carton concealed in a sack. He also had on him 86,500 CFA. He claimed that the money belongs to a bureau de change at Onitsha. He is suspected to be engaging in money laundering and will be transferred to the EFCC for further investigation.

Chelsea are ready to pay over the odds to sign Everton defender John Stones. With Blues considering making a final bid in the region of £40m for Stones.
Everton have maintained their stance throughout the summer that the England international will not be sold. But can they resist the temptations if Chelsea produce an offer which would make Stones the expensive defender in English football history.
Chelsea would have doubled their original valuation of the centre-back, which goes on to show how inflated the market is at the moment.
Roberto Martinez has refused to deny claims that Stones is attracted by the possibility of moving to Stamford Bridge, but Stones has not agitated for a move.

Major authority on the life and style of famous reality TV Stars, The Kardashians, E! has just Unleashed the lavish lifestyle of new 18 year old, Kylie Jenner.
The teenager who is allegedly worth about $5million is definitely living her life at the fastest lane possible..
Read the article by E! below:
For starters, the youngest Jenner is reportedly worth $5 million, with assets stemming from her modeling gigs, public appearance and other endeavors she finds herself participating in.
Now that she is a legal adult (and earning $80,000-$120,000 for birthday party in Canada), Kylie thought it was time to move out of mom Kris Jenner’s abode, so she picked herself up a new mansion! Kylie paid $2.7 million for her new Calabasas digs. She won’t be totally alone, though, as her neighbors include sister Khloé Kardashian. If she wants to see other members of her friends and family, she can just hope into one of her über-luxurious vehicles.
Kylie has several cars, all of which are nicer than the next. The E! star has been spotted driving around in either a Mercedes Benz G550, which begins at $115,400 or the G63 AMG, which starts at $137,150. She has also been seen driving a white Jeep Wrangler Sahara worth $49,000 and now, most famously, her birthday gift from Tyga: a 458 Italia Spider Ferrari worth $295,000.
The young entrepreneur also has several collaborations and endorsements to her name, and even has started her own line of hair extensions. Each style/color of extension costs $279.99. Her work with NIP + FAB, Glamhouse, PacSun, Nicole by OPI, Sears and more have grossed her even more money, as she continues her work as a brand ambassador and product collaborator. The nail polish line with OPI, Kardashian Kolors, banked Kylie $100,000, and this was when she was only 13!
When it comes to social media, Kylie charges a pretty penny. If hired to hold a product and post a photo on Instagram—her face not included—Kylie earns $20,000, a source tells E! News.
If you’re in the mood to dress like Kylie, that’s also going to cost an arm and a leg, especially when it comes to her accessories. At any given moment, Kylie wears no fewer than four different Cartier Love bracelets. She has one in pink gold with four diamonds ($10,100), one in pink gold without diamonds ($6,300), one in yellow gold ($6,300) and one in white gold ($6,750).
Clothes are in a league of their own, too. While out for a night on the town with her sisters, Kylie opted for jeans, a tank top, mini leather jacket and thigh-high boots. While this might seem like your average outfit, it turns out to be a $3,300 affair.
The ACNE STUDIOS Leather “Mock” Moto Jacket retails for $1,600, the Sergio Rossi suede boots will run you $1,460, the tank—at this point this is definitely a steal—costs about $56 for two and the Seven for All Mankind jeans are $210.
Even a simple (or not-so simple) swimsuit isn’t in the average budget. Kylie Instagrammed a pic of herself posing provocatively in a one-piece bathing suit from Agent Provocateur, which just so happened to cost $450.00.
The Osun State Police have arrested a former Senior Special Assistant to Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, Mr. Bode Olugbore, after a 29-year-old woman, Kemi Arobieke, was allegedly found dead in his apartment.
Kemi, who the family claimed was Olugbore’s lover, was found dead in the ex-SSA’s apartment on Saturday, August 8, 2015
Punch Metro gathered that Kemi, an event planner, came from Lagos to visit Olugbore in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, on Thursday, August 6, and promised to return on Saturday.
Kemi’s family, however, got a call on Sunday that the lady had been electrocuted in the ex-SSA’s apartment, and her corpse had been deposited in a mortuary.
The matter was reported at the Dada Police Division, and policemen from the station removed the corpse from the apartment. The ex-SSA was arrested thereafter. The deceased’s elder brother, Ayoola, who confirmed the death of his sister on Tuesday said Kemi had known Olugbore for about four years, but the family initially did not know about their relationship.
He said he, Kemi and Olugbore were members of the same church in Lagos, adding that her sister told the family that the suspect had separated from his wife, who had three children for him.
“My sister travelled to Osogbo and she was supposed to return to Lagos on Saturday, but we got a call from the police that she was involved in an accident and it was very serious.
“When we got to Osogbo, the police prevented us from seeing her, but told us that she had been electrocuted by an electric fan, but it is unbelievable.”
Ayoola, said the explanation sounded illogical as there were no traces of burn either on her body or on the fan.
He said,
“However, we are waiting for the outcome of the autopsy which was done on Saturday. We have known Bode (Olugbore) for a while. He works with the Osun State Government. Kemi was also gainfully employed, having finished from the university.
“We were made to understand that she was electrocuted in the apartment by a standing fan. That is very hard for me to understand. The police showed us the fan, and it seemed to be working fine. It was not burnt. The socket was not burnt. So, it is suspicious that she was electrocuted. The current in a fan is not enough to kill except one has direct contact with a live wire. The marks on her body suggested something contrary.“Right now, everyone is waiting for answers from the autopsy. We know that the man has been arrested by the police.”
It was further gathered that Olugbore’s lawyer’s said the ex-SSA was not in his apartment at the time of the incident, adding that Kemi’s death was a domestic accident.
The Arobieke’s family lawyer, identified only as Olayiwola, stated that the result of the autopsy was with the police, adding that both families would be invited by the police.
The Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Folashade Odoro, confirmed the arrest. She added that investigation was ongoing on the matter.
She said:
“I don’t know about who is involved, but the suspect has been arrested by the police. Investigation is also ongoing on the matter. When things like this happen, the first suspect is the owner of the apartment. So, he was arrested immediately.”
The governor’s media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, when contacted declined to comment on the matter.
