NOW THAT THE ERECTION IS OVER!

By Joe Effiong

The other day I watched on Emmanuel TV how Prophet T. B. Joshua commanded a man who had been having a prolonged erection, to come out.
Trust T. B. Joshua; he doesn’t appear to have P.R. when on duty. So he just said; “There is one man there whose pe**s has been standing for sometimes now and has refused to go down. Come out; you are wearing a white shirt. Come out now.” nigeria arise today
And suddenly, a man holding on to his crotch came out. But the surprising part of the drama was that even before the man got the pulpit (or is it what that is called in the Synagogue?), the wife who was walking behind him was rejoicing; jumping and praising God even before Joshua told the husband; “You went and slept with one fair complexioned woman, since then your pe**s has refused to go down.” He then swung he right hand and the man fell flat on the ground. And Joshua said; “It is over”; meaning normalcy has returned to that troubled and troublesome region.
I just didn’t know specifically why the wife was rejoicing? But I can imagine the husband experimenting continuous with the wife whether the stubborn thing would take a bow after several performances; but it still kept on standing. But by the man and his naughty John Thomas falling at the Synagogue, the wife joy knew no bounds.
If I’m sounding a bit irreverent today, please forgive me. My writing skills almost atrophied because of disuse. Every time I wanted to say something, the attack dogs would howl and I would run with my tail in between my legs back to the safety cocoon of see-no-evil; say-no-evil. I didn’t even want to write again this year; but something tickled my fancy today when I went to the mechanic village to search for the window of my car that was broken by whoever yesterday at INEC office the under watchful eyes and sniffing noses of over-armed security men.
When the guy who sells glasses at the mechanic village saw the car and asked me what happened and I explained to him, he exclaimed; “This una erection sef! That is why I can’t vote for anybody. Erection de bring too much trouble.” Hmmm!
It suddenly dawned on me that election and erection are almost the same. When their fever grips a man or women, until the result is “released”; there shall be no peace. And sometimes even when the result has been released, those who had not directly contributed to its frenzy would still be in trouble like the woman at the Synagogue. Nobody knows how many times her husband had released the results of his philandering with the “white” woman on her if only to bring rock solid everlasting erection to calm; but to no avail.
I thought that the tension that trailed these last general elections in Nigeria would go immediately the results are released; I didn’t know that the release would equally spew up enough orgasm to break glasses of cars belonging to poor people like us who are too afraid to pick party nomination form gratis, even of those de-registered parties like PRP.
I will only plead with Their Excellencies, elect or erect, to-be or not-to-be, to please tell their supporters to allow us recover our lives so that when we write or make comments on what our colleagues have written, it would not be purely to insult otherwise very respectable people in our society whose only offence has been to have contested election, winning or losing. Or our hitherto very innocuous comments would no longer be seen as heresies, which should attract castration as punishment, by your supporters.
I’m always accused of writing long essays on facebook. I wouldn’t fall into that trap today. You know after more than for three months of intellectual hibernation, I’m now learning how to write again. I know many of our colleagues are also experiencing this temporary intellectual menopause. So I shouldn’t write long; after all, I’m not a very long or tall person. Everything in and on me, from head to toe, is as short and stocky as I am. That is how my writing should henceforth be. Let the post-election orgasm not squirt us into further intellectual inertia or hysteria. Let’s go back to being Nigerians, Akwa Ibomites, professionals, above all, unbiased writers. After all, the politicians are already thinking about 2019. Therefore we should help ourselves recover our artistic manhood, now that the politicians have dispensed with their 2015 erection, biko nu!

Nigeria’s top five governor battles.

Nigeria’s 36 state governors wield enormous power and influence – some have control of budgets larger than neighbouring countries.

This weekend Nigerians will be voting for 29 of them – two weeks after the historic vote which saw veteran opposition candidate Muhammadu Buhari defeat Goodluck Jonathan, the incumbent president.

It will also be a titanic battle between Mr Jonathan’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) of Gen Buhari.

Here are the five most important battlegrounds:

Map showing the political controlling parties by state in Nigeria

Lagos

The commercial hub of the country, it has been under the opposition rule since the return of democracy in 1999. It is estimated to have a GDP of $91bn (£62bn), higher than 42 countries in Africa, according one of the candidates for governor.

Although cosmopolitan, the state had two Muslim governors in the last 16 years, including the outgoing Babatunde Fashola credited with transforming its chaotic nature with various development projects.

In an attempt to balance the equation, two Christians are now vying for the top job: Akinwumi Ambode of the APC and Jimi Agbaje of the PDP.

The PDP did fairly well in the presidential vote in Lagos, so it is going to be a tight race – and its candidate is very popular within the Igbo community, which controls substantial business enterprises.

It will be the biggest blow to the incoming government if it loses Lagos, which is the most populous and industrialised state with the highest non-oil revenue earnings.

Rivers

This is a battle for the control of the largest oil wells in the country.

A PDP stronghold, it has been a flash point of violence in the run-up to the elections, with APC saying 55 of its members have been killed.

But there have been tensions in Rivers during this election season

The outgoing governor, Rotimi Amaechi, was elected on a PDP ticket four years ago but defected to join the APC and led Gen Buhari’s campaign.

Many see him as an “unpatriotic son” of the Niger Delta who fought against his fellow southerner, Mr Jonathan.

His chosen successor is the APC’s Dakuku Peterside. However, the powerful first lady, Patience Jonathan, who hails from the state, is backing the PDP’s Nyesom Wike.

The task ahead of the winner will be to mediate between multi-national oil firms and the disgruntled communities who complain of environmental pollution and neglect.

Kaduna

The beating heart of northern politics – many of the political elite live there – it also tends be a political melting point as the state is divided with Muslims in the north and Christians in the south

It has witnessed much ethno-religious violence in which thousands of people died since 1999.

The APC has fielded Nasir El-Rufai, the former minister of Abuja who transformed the capital into a modern city and demolished illegal structures.

The incumbent PDP governor, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero is under intense pressure as the APC won the state in the presidential vote. Mr Yero came to power two years ago after the death in a plane crash of the only Christian governor of Kaduna.

Whoever wins faces the task of promoting peace amongst the diverse ethnic groups, especially between Fulani herdsmen and farming communities.

line

Taraba

History could be made in this impoverished state close to the Cameroonian border if Aisha Jummai Alhassan of the APC wins, becoming Nigeria’s first female governor.

Could Aisha Jummai Alhassan become Nigeria’s first female governor?

A former court worker and a Muslim, she faces a hurdle in a state where Christians have ruled for the last 16 years.

Her PDP opponent, Darius Ishaku, is a former minister who has the support of mostly Christian communities and has a financial backer with deep pockets.

Taraba is equally divided between Muslim and Christian, and also faces ethnic and religious problems.

And while Ms Alhassan is popular amongst Muslims, she may find it difficult to attract the more conservative Muslim voters.

Imo

At the heart of the south-east and home to the Igbo ethnic group, the people overwhelmingly voted for PDP in the presidential and parliamentary elections.

However, the incumbent APC governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, is by no means a write-off.

He is powerful within the APC – and the region may feel it needs someone with influence to fight their corner with the incoming APC government.

He faces the PDP’s Emeka Ihedioha, the outgoing deputy speaker of the House of Representatives who has the important backing of Mr Jonathan.

Why Yorubas will vote Jonathan —Okupe

Why Yorubas will vote Jonathan —Okupe

THE Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, has said the people of the South West will vote massively for President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday.

This, he said, was in view of the antecedent of the Yoruba race as defenders of truth, equity and justice in Nigeria.

In a lecture entitled: The Yorubas: Our Politics Yesterday and Today,” deli

vered at the Lagos Country Club, Ikeja, on Wednesday, Okupe recalled that historically, the Yorubas had acted as conscience of the Nigerian nation, who ensured that no ethnic group was subjugated or marginalised in the political process.

The presidential aide said, having benefitted from a national concession which enabled the race to enjoy two terms in office as president during Chief Olusegun Obasanjo-led administration, the Yoruba people needed to rise in defence of the minority Ijaw nation, as represented by President Jonathan, whom he said had justified the first mandate given him by being fair to all parts of Nigeria in his programmes and policies.

Child Marriage and Prostitution: Buhari’s Wife, Aisha is a Victim of Child Rape – Edo Women

Concerned Nigerian gender activists have called on the women of Edo State to forgive the unguarded comments recently credited to Mrs. Aisha Buhari, wife of the APC Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
Mrs. Buhari had in a campaign rally for her husband’s presidential bid in Edo State over the weekend had described the women of Edo State, as “prostitutes” claiming her husband’s administration will stop the prostitution by Edo women abroad.
In a swift response to Mrs. Buhari on Monday in Benin, Sarah Obozuwa, Founder of the Edo Women for Change (EWC) called on Edo women to forgive Mrs. Buhari. “Aisha Buhari was born on September 29, 1979. As of today, Mrs. Buhari is only 35 years of age. She was married to Buhari in August 13, 1989, at the age of 9. This means that Buhari at age 47, in 1989 was having sex with Aisha Buhari at the tender age of 9, an underage according to the constitution of Nigeria. So Mrs. Buhari is a victim of sustained childhood rape and her outbursts are understandable”, she said.
Speaking further, Mrs. Obozuwa said: “How Buhari got Aisha Buhari pregnant at age 13 is a chilling story of a Buhari who defiled Aisha as a little child while she was visiting Zulai, Buhari’s eldest daughter who was her playmate. It is ironic how such a traumatized woman now stands at the vanguard of stigmatizing fellow women.”

KA ROCHAS OKOROCHA PUO; Ali Baba & The Forty Thieves (PART 2)

By Kenneth Uwadi, Mmahu-Egbema,

Okorocha and other APC thieves.

Okorocha and other APC thieves.

I have told you the story of Ali Baba of Imo State before. Situation demands that I say it again. Ali Baba is a character from medieval Arabic literature. He is described in the adventure tale of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. This story has been used as a popular story pantomime plot such as in the pantomime/musical Chu Chin Chow(1916) Popular perception of Ali Baba, and the way he is treated in the media shows that he became the leader of the “forty thieves.

Ali Baba, a woodcutter was in the forest when he saw forty thieves stop in front of a cave. The leader said “Open Sesame!” and before Ali Baba’s amazed eyes the sealed mouth of the cave magically opened and the men disappeared inside. To come out and close the entrance, the leader said “Close Sesame” and the cave sealed itself once more. Trembling with excitement Ali Baba waited till the thieves had left and then entered the cave after saying the magic words. To his delight he found lots of treasure and took some away .He later became the leader of the “forty thieves.

In Imo State of Nigeria we have Ali-Baba and the House of Assembly thieves. The Governor of Imo State Chief Rochas Okorocha is Ali Baba himself while Mr Benjamin Uwajumogu the Speaker of the Imo House of Assembly and his dishonorable Imo House of Assembly members of course are the other thieves. Like Fela Kuti would say ‘ them be International THIEF THIEF’’

I am bold to call them International Thief Thief .The road projects in Imo State and what happened in the 27 LGA’s of Imo State where 175 billion naira LGA fund was looted come to mind as two of the several examples of their colossal looting of the Imo treasury. I am also talking about the looting of the 13 percent oil derivation fund of (ISOPADEC) , how they awarded themselves road contracts that they never executed but collected billions for them, how they stole IROMA trucks and equipment valued at N12.5 Billion, how they ran away with $2.5 M dollars paid for the sale of Imo Concorde Hotel, how they looted N400 million Imo flood money, how they connived with Joseph Dino of Jpros Limited and stole Imo tax payers N1.3 billion naira, how they sold Government owned companies to themselves and relatives in the guise of lease e.g., ITC , Adapalm, Concorde and Imo Municipal transport company, how they connived with Joss Marinlopez-pepe and stole Imo tax payers N3.5 billion. My brother the matter plenty!

The Imo State House of Assembly under the leadership of Benjamin Uwajumogu connived with Ali Baba , aided and abetted gross financial impropriety in Imo state and that is why I am calling all of them thieves including Luke Chukwu from my constituency who took part in the looting of Adapalm and ISOPADEC. What happened to 175 billion naira Imo council fund? Stolen in conjunction with Imo House of Assembly ! This is a clear case of crass abuse of office, criminal conspiracy and outright stealing of public funds which should attract very serious sanctions. These same men joined hands to sacked 10,000 Imo graduates since 2011 and refused to reinstate them. They went ahead to sack another 30,000 workers.

It is regrettable that rather than check the executive arm, the Imo state House of Assembly criminally teamed up with the executive in fraudulent diversion of billions of Imo people’s money. Who doesn’t know how Okorocha and Uwajumogu criminally shared n45billion and n28billion loans illegally secured with Imo LGA’s allocations .In the past, LGA funds in Imo State was used to develop certain vital social services in the grass root like education, health care and key investments on infrastructures like water, electricity, roads, industries, etc, all which severally and collectively positively impacted on the living standard of the ordinary working masses in the grassroot areas .

In sharp contrast, the current Okorocha’s so-called government, acting under the dictates and or in concert with imperialism completely jettisoned the idea of government using local government funds and resources to better the lots of the local councils Instead, it adopted a whole scale capitalist, neo-liberal strategy of looting of council funds.

Ndi-Imo let us use the 2015 electoral exercise to put some form of improvement in the quality of lawmakers that would be in the Imo State House of Assembly by May 29th 2015. Uwajumogu and all the 2011 Imo House of Assembly members should be shown the way out! Ka Opuo! Rochas Okorocha should be shown the way out ! Ka Opuo!! Sadly, Imo found itself saddled with a class of legislators under Uwajumogu that is 1000 times worse than any it ever had. Yes, Uwajumogu’s House of Assembly is 1000 times inferior to the one we had before. Time to say NO MORE to them all.

Any reader of my write up would easily recall that severally , I have never been able to contain my sorrow and deep pain over the quality of lawmakers we ended up with and how such misfortune sabotaged our best expectations for progress and development, since all Uwajumogu and co in the House does is to extend generous incentive to the Executive to celebrate its insufferable ineptitude and lack of direction with indecent fanfare.

Our decadent politics in 2011 inflicted the State with grossly underweight and light-minded fellows as lawmakers, that is, individuals who neither have any acquaintance with sound ideas nor the capacity to appreciate the gravity of the assignment they are supposed to be performing in Owerri. What Imo got from the incompetent House led by Uwajumogu is retrogression and unchecked decay. What has remained sadly true is that for most of the lawmakers who presently diminished our legislative chambers with their uninspiring presence since 2011, their real reason for showing up in the House was just to scramble over dirty naira notes like wanton street boys. In them, we found the best example of a prodigal House of Assembly that goes to kneel down before Governor Okorocha sweating and begging for crumbs. Let’s say NO MORE to them .

Okorocha and Thief Benjamin Uwajumogu are now running here and there campaigning for votes from Imo masses. Uwajumogu wants to become Senator while Okorocha wants another 4 yrs of stealing. As I see the reports of the numerous rallies the APC in Imo is addressing in several parts of the state , I am always forced to ask: what really is the APC in Imo telling Imolites? I have not attended any of their rallies. Someone said Okorocha is shouting JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! FACTORY! FACTORY ! FACTORY as what he will do in the next 4 years.

There is nothing I hate like listening to speeches, everyone knows, including the speaker himself, are full of lies and empty promises, and only meant to deceive the hearer, or show that the speaker thinks his listeners are a bunch of fools. In such an instance, the fellow just feels he needs to tell his hearers something, and so, he opens his mouth and vomits even what he himself does not believe. These criminals we have in Douglas House and Imo House must go! Ka Opuo! !!

When Chisco Got Burnt Down By APC Members In Lagos.

APGA: TIME FOR JOE IGBOKWE TO SPEAK UP

Chisco Buses and Premises Set Ablaze By APC Thugs

Chisco Buses and Premises Set Ablaze By APC Thugs

Pre-election violence in the country has claimed more than 52 lives already with the latest victim being the Chisco Transport Company in Lagos which lost about 18 luxury buses which were burnt by political thugs during a political rally along Eko Bridge.

Despite the peace accord signed by the political parties in Nigeria ahead of the 2015 general election, the number of people losing their lives and property as a result of pre-election violence is increasing.

The incident led to the death of one policeman and left scores of people injured, including Channels Television reporter. The violence started with three explosions and sporadic gunfire which ended the rally abruptly.

Prior to the Okrika violence, the headquarters of Chisco Transport Limited in Lagos, was burnt down. About 18 vehicles were destroyed. The incident took place when some hoodlums saw a billboard of President Jonathan hanging in a compound next to Chisco’s. They threw petrol bomb into the premises of the transport company in apparent protest against President Goodluck Jonathan’s poster.

According to a witness, who identified himself as Ebuka, “it was when the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign train was passing during their political rally along Eko Bridge that some hoodlums took advantage of the rally to throw objects into the premises of the company when they saw President Jonathan’s billboard hung on the uncompleted building beside Chisco Head Office, thinking the premises belongs to the Federal Government.”

The building harbouring Jonathan’s billboard belongs to the Industrial Training Fund, ITF, a federal government agency sharing a common fence with the leading transport company.  Unfortunately for the transport company, it did not insure its premises but had only third party insurance for its vehicles.

According to the CEO, Chidi Anyaegbu, Babatunde Fashola, the Lagos State governor, visited the premises on Thursday, February 19, to sympathise with the company. Anyaegbu said further that President Goodluck Jonathan, who was on a two-day working visit to Lagos, wanted to visit the transport company but “I asked him not to come that I would handle the situation because I didn’t want to politicise what happened and cause more problem for myself in the future and my business empire in Lagos, where I have lived in the last 39 years.”

Anyaegbu said although the president reacted to the incident in a statement released saying “I was surprised when the owner of Chisco, the company that runs transport business between Lagos and the South East told me that 18 of his luxury buses were burnt down in Lagos by youths of a rival party because my billboard was close to his facility.

“Is that the kind of people that want to take over the running of this country? Is this country going to be managed by people with that kind of background? I was shocked when I heard that Chisco buses were burnt”.

When Anyaegbu was asked if there was any form of compensation both from the Federal and State governments, he stated that “I would like to keep that to myself and that is between me and the government. Like I said earlier, I wouldn’t want to publicise this any longer, the situation would be taken care of and if there is any need for you to know if there is/was any form of compensation, when the time comes you will definitely know.”

An employee of the transport company, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told our correspondent that the damage could have been worse if not for the quick intervention of some employees of the company who sprang into action to salvage the situation when they noticed the fire. The workers were said to have used the fire-extinguishers available in the premises to assist fire fighters from both the state and Federal Fire Service to put off the fire.

Two weeks before the above incidents happened, the National Human Rights Commission, (NHRC), had said that more than 58 people have been killed in election-related violence in 22 states from December 3, 2014 to date. Chidi Odinkalu, chairman, governing council of the commission, in a report entitled: “Pre-election Report and Advisory on Violence in Nigeria’s 2015 General Elections,” in Abuja, said within 50 days from December 3, 2014, the commission had confirmed 61 cases of election violence with the majority of the cases recorded in three key economic and politically significant states.

“In Lagos, we have tracked at least 11 cases producing 22 dead people for each, an average of two people killed over a span of just 52 days. In Kaduna State, we have three incidents and nine killings; Rivers has six incidents, including the detonation of explosives and attacks on courts. This degree of pre-election violence is unacceptable, we have seen too much blood and this must be stopped,” he said.

According to Odinkalu, if this continues, it would lead the country into more trouble and so this is more than a report, it is an advisory because it calls on all the leaders to rise to the challenge. He said the political leaders must send a message loud and clear to their teeming supporters that the forthcoming election was not a call to battle but a contest between brothers and sisters.

Give Jonathan the benefit of doubt – Abdusalami.

General Abdulsalami Abubakar

Former Head of State, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar, on Tuesday urged Nigerians to give President Goodluck Jonathan the benefit of doubt on his promise that general elections would hold as re-scheduled.

Abubakar made the call while fielding questions from newsmen in Kano.

The former Head of State was in Kano to inaugurate the Kano Informatics Institute, Kura.

He said Jonathan had in the recent Presidential Media Chart promised to allow the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct the polls on the new dates.

“As our President, let us give him benefit of doubt and accept what he said,” Abubakar said.

He, however, urged INEC to ensure the conduct of free, fair and acceptable elections for the sustenance of the country’s democracy.

According to him, “I do hope INEC officials will conduct free, fair and credible elections in the country,” he said.

On his recent visits to President Jonathan and, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (APC presidential candidate), Abubakar said the visits were private.

Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the leaders of the APC know that its Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari has “prostate cancer, acute asthma and that he suffers from dementia” and as such wouldn’t last long in office if elected.

(Premium Times)

The spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) campaign organization, Femi Fani-Kayode has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of trying to force a dying man into office to achieve ulterior motives.

Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the leaders of the APC know that its Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari has “prostate cancer, acute asthma and that he suffers from dementia” and as such wouldn’t last long in office if elected.

The PDP spokesperson stated that the major plan of the APC leadership is for Vice-Presidential candidate, Yemi Osinbajo to hand over to party leader, Bola Tinubu after Buhari’s likely demise.

Fani-Kayode stated this during a press conference on Friday, February 27.

“Since the formation of the APC it has been an open secret that Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu is its national leader and also its biggest financier. The question that should agitate every Nigerian is why Tinubu has been investing heavily in the APC presidential project to such a point that he has single-handed produced the joint presidential ticket of Buhari and Osinbajo,” Fani-Kayode said.

“It should baffle well-meaning Nigerians why Senator Tinubu has decided to draft Buhari, despite his age, acrimonious background and questionable health status, into the presidential race whilst ensuring that his stooge, Osinbajo was foisted on the general as vice presidential candidate. The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Organisation wishes to use this forum to expose the ungodly plan by Senator Tinubu to seize the presidency of Nigeria by subterfuge,” he added.

“Senator Tinubu, according to our information, has compelled Professor Osinbajo to swear to an oath that after six months in office, he would resign as the vice president, in the unlikely event that their party wins.The wicked plot, as laid out by them, is to force Professor Osinbajo to resign for Senator Tinubu to be nominated by General Buhari as his replacement. The ultimate objective of this plot is to ensure that Tinubu becomes President,” Fani Kayode continued.

Fani-Kayode accused Tinubu of basing his evil scheme on Buhari’s ‘questionable health.’

“The script is simple: given the questionable health of General Buhari, Senator Tinubu who is desperate to be president for his own selfisfh reasons will simply bid his time in the evil expectation that General Buhari will not be able to go the whole hog,” Fani-Kayode said.

“Becoming the vice president is not the destination but becoming the president! The agenda of the cabal within the APC is with the perceived health challenges of General Buhari. They have told themselves in hushed tones that he has prostate cancer, acute asthma and that he suffers from dementia. All structures around Buhari are all Tinubu’s structures. All the actors around Buhari that are driving his campaign behind the scenes are all Tinubu’s men,” the PDP spokesperson continued.

“Most of the covert funding for this campaign comes from Tinubu’s friend outside the country and from Tinubu himself. So, if he becomes President, Buhari will become virtually incapacitated and he will not be the one running the government. Those behind this plan would now be waiting for Buhari to pass on. That is what Tinubu want to do to the North and to Nigeria,”Fani-Kayode said

“Our candid advice to General Buhari is: Watch your back,” he concluded.

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti has also repeatedly accused the APC of covering up Buhari’s true health status.
