Oliseh reveals why he ‘hates’ Jay Jay Okocha

Head coach of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh, has spoken about his relationship with former team-mate, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha.H

JKJThere have been a lot of speculations surrounding their friendship and it has been suggested that both men don’t see eye to eye. But while responding to questions by a reporter recently, Oliseh replied sarcastically: “Yes, I hate Jay-Jay,” before quickly adding “I hate Okocha because anytime we play tennis, he beats me. We played at the weekend at Sheraton Hotel and he defeated me.”

“We’re the best of friends and we played Tennis at the weekend.”
Rumours of rivalry between the two ex-footballers, dates as far back as 2002, when Okocha replaced Oliseh as national team captain to the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
Oliseh also spoke about how he planned to eliminate individuality in the Eagles team and promote team play.
“If you remember our victories in 1994 and 1996, it was based on individual talents. But we do not have such individual talents again. What we need to do is to play collectively. That is what obtains in Germany and Spain. It’s a lot of hard work. We’re here to do our best.” he added.

We have reached the last bus stop – NFF vows never to hire local coaches again

President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, has vowed that the country will never employ a local coach again, following the resignation of Sunday Oliseh.
Pinnick was answering questions at the 18th Annual Africa Business Conference of the Harvard Business School, Boston, Massachusetts, United States and stated that the NFF had reached “the last bus stop” in appointing local coaches.
Oliseh replaced Stephen Keshi, who led the Super Eagles to winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and the second round of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The NFF is now looking abroad to hire a new man, while Samson Siasia and Emmanuel Amuneke take charge of the team temporarily.
“After this Sunday Oliseh debacle, we have definitely turned the corner. We are now going to start shopping for a well grounded and qualified foreign coach to tinker the team. Enough is enough,” Pinnick said at the event.
“What we have learnt is that there is a world of difference between being a good coach and being a good manager.

I won’t return to Super Eagles – Emenike

Former Super Eagles striker, Emmanuel Emenike, has insisted that he is done with the national team and will not make a return under Samson Siasia.
The player, who is currently on loan at West Ham in England, retired from international football last year, while Sunday Oliseh was still the handler of the Eagles.
“I’m done with the Super Eagles, and I am making it clear again that I am not going back.
“It’s my decision and I am not going to reverse it, I am sorry if I have offended anybody regarding this but no Eagles return for me,” he said, according to SportingLife.
“Like I said, I didn’t quit because of anybody, it was a personal decision. Oliseh didn’t force me out of the Super Eagles as it was reported, I don’t need anybody to speak with me before I take a decision. It was my decision and I won’t reverse it.”
Emenike made his debut five years ago for Nigeria and was top scorer at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, which the Eagles won.

Obama to deport Gowon’s son; Igbo Mandate Congress set to welcome him

 

Following reports that the Igbo son of Nigeria’s former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, Mr. Musa Gowon allegedly released three weeks ago from California Prisons in the United States, U.S, will soon be deported to Nigeria, the Igbo Mandate Congress, IMC, has revealed plans it has made to accord Musa Gowon a rousing welcome.
The group noted that it has notified its members in the U.S to ensure that “this rejected son of Igbo woman, abandoned to a life of twenty two years in jail, due to acts not unrelated to her mother’s disapproval of indiscriminate murder of civilian by Federal Troops, is not left without roots.”
Disclosing this in a statement forwarded to DAILY POST by its Director-General, Rev Obinna Akukwe, IMC stated that it “has gotten in touch with those concerned through agents to determine the actual date of deportation so that this rejected Igbo son abandoned by his father, is welcomed and given a sense of belonging.”
The statement further read, “Musa Gowon was borne out of a courtship gone awry between former Head of State Yakubu Gowon, then a Lieutenant Colonel and an Igbo Girl by name Edith Ike-Okongwu while he was still a bachelor. This relationship between Gowon and Edith Ike ended in the heat of the civil war. It is widely believed that the relationship broke off after Federal Troops bombed Aba General Hospital with NAF Napalm Bomb on July 14, 1968 killing more than 500 patients..
“Edith was said to have expressed disapproval with Gowon over the deliberate bombing of Biafran civilian soft targets and the romance was brought to an end. Prior to that, Edith Ike’s parents, though from Aro-Ndikelionwu in Orumba North Local Govt of Anambra State but lived in the north for over thirty years, relocated back to the East after the first wave of pogrom of 1966.
Edith herself relocated to then West Germany on 30th June, 1967 after Gowon overruled her plans to relocate to either the US of UK.
“The relationship was said to have produced a handsome young man with full name Jack Musa Ngonadi Gowon in 1968. Due to Edith’s constant unease at the indiscriminate murder of civilians, the relationship got frosty and ended towards the end of 1968. In 1969 Gowon married Miss Victoria Zakari, a nurse by profession. Gowon reportedly denied paternity of Musa.
“Edith was said to have migrated to the United States from then West Germany after the birth of Musa. The young boy lived with Gowon until her mother took him away to the US. Edith was later to relocate to Nigeria where she became a guru in public relations, working with Guinness PLC, NNPC and others. In the US Musa was said to have joined a Colombian drug cartel and lived flamboyant lifestyle until he was arrested on November 18, 1992 aged 23, prosecuted and given 40-year jail sentence the following year.
The statement noted further that Chief Charles Okereke, Publisher of Nigeria Masterweb and Ambassador at large for Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, while briefing the leadership of Igbo Mandate Congress on aspects of the legal tussle between Gowon and Edith Ike said that “the case of paternity appeared before the Supreme Court of Nigeria (Suit No: SC.64/97); the appellant was General Gowon (Gowon v. Ike-Okongwu (2003) 6 NWLR (Pt.815)38 and respondents .Mrs. Edith Ike-Okongwu, and Mr.Musa Gowon. FACTS: Respondent herein as plaintiff in the original action claimed, inter alia that the defendant, General Yakubu Gowon, is the father of the 2nd plaintiff, Musa Gowon. They claimed damages of the sum of N10, 000,000.00 for alleged libel contained in a letter published by the defendant through his solicitors to the editor of a monthly magazine “The Prime People.”
“Defendant in his statement of defense denied liability and paternity of the 2nd plaintiff. The defendant subsequently filed a motion seeking leave of court to file an amended statement of defense by inclusion of a counter-claim. The subject of the counter-claim was an alleged libelous article in two publications of the magazine called “HINTS – True Life Romances.”
“These publications of the magazine were made after the plaintiffs had filed amended statement of defense. The trial court at the conclusion of hearing of the application struck out both the amended statement of defense and the counter-claim. The defendant’s appeal to the Court of Appeal was dismissed. Dissatisfied, he further appealed to the Supreme Court.”
“U.S. President Obama last month granted him state pardon after he had spent 22 years in prison. He is now in the custody of U.S. Immigration booked for deportation to Nigeria anytime from now
“Igbo Mandate Congress also calls on the Federal Government to ensure that this boy is rehabilitated so that those evil memories of the civil war is not resurrected and used by desperate politicians.
“Igbo Mandate Congress also called on Igbos in the United States to assist to assist Musa Gowon Ngonadi because “he whom has been rejected should not reject himself”
“Igbo Mandate Congress also expresses gratitude to the United States President Barrack Obama for the pardon granted Musa Ngonadi Gowon in the spirit of reconciliation and demand good treatment of this man born under the contradictions of love, hate and an unnecessary civil war.”

Buhari must not give N5, 000 to unemployed Nigerians – Okorocha

 

Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha, has stated that there are many ways to empower the unemployed in the society without directly giving them money.

Okorocha was reacting to a recent statement by President Muhammadu Buhari that the N5, 000 stipend is no longer feasible.
Speaking after meeting with the Vice President, Okorocha, however, said that the promise will be implemented one way or the other.
He said: “Well you see to be honest with you, it is a great idea, but there are many ways to give that support, sometimes it could be in cash which has its own challenges. Handling of that is also in itself a wonderful and great idea.
“Take for instance, in Imo State now I have introduced what is called empowerment, they buy motor cycles and give people N5,000 or N 10,000, for me that is not my style. My style is to declare free education, from primary, secondary to university; nobody pays one Naira in Imo state.
“The very poor people who have to ensure a lot of social inconveniences to pay school fees are no longer dong that, what has happened is that he has saved that money to produce further wealth, so if you keep money through that system, it creates more impact than physical cash.
“Physical cash sometimes creates more problems, so it is great idea, we have to do it one way or the other as time comes,” he said.
He supported President Buhari’s anti-corruption battle, stressing that any money stolen out of the treasury will always have adverse effect on development of infrastructure in the country.

Rev. King to die by hanging....

Despite yesterday’s Supreme Court affirmation of the death by hanging sentence slammed on Chukwuemeka Ezeugo, a.k.a Rev. King, members of his church – Christian Praying Assembly, CPA, have expressed strong faith that the controversial cleric will not end up on the gallows.
This was as they expressed their conviction that the case for which ‘His Holiness’ as they call him, was convicted was a frame up orchestrated by estranged members of the church who Reverend King asked to leave on account of their conduct.
They made this known while speaking with The Nation, with one of them asserting that Rev’d King is “more than a mere human being and cannot be killed by any mortal.”
Speaking with the newspaper, a member of the church, who identified himself as Obi, said: “The judgment which is a human decision is not the final. A judgment that will supercede this one will come. We have total confidence in our leader and this is why we have not relented in our efforts to hold service.
“In spite of the judgment, we are going to have service on Sunday and celebrate him. For you to know how powerful he is, he has been providing solutions to numerous people’s problems right from the prison walls.
“He does this using online medium. Right there in the prison, the officials don’t go close to him because of the enormity of the power he wields. If they can’t go close to him in the prison, how would it be possible for them to kill him? It is impossible. I personally received divine healing through him before his arrest. I was having a terminal ailment and when he mounted the pulpit and pointed at my direction, the sickness vanished. This was in 2006 and till date the sickness has not come back.”
Another worshipper said: “His holiness cannot be killed even with the Supreme Court judgment. He said it long ago that no man is capable of touching a strand of hair on his head.
“The whole drama is a calculated plan by some people to bring his ministry down. It started in June 2006 when His holiness asked cult members, herbalists and other people with shady character in the church to either declare for God or leave the church.
“After making the statement, some people who believed they were highly connected came to him and told him that they would blackmail him and make sure the ministry was brought down.
“Thereafter, this ‘frame-up’ came up. For you to know that the case was a frame-up, did they bring the dead bodies of the seven people that were allegedly killed to the court to serve as evidence?
“It was all a ruse. Those seven people in question are roaming about the street and we do see them here in Ajao Estate. It was only Ann that died and it was these seven people that killed her. It wasn’t His holiness that killed her as alleged.
“She was going to put on the generator when they set fire on it. When she was eventually taken to the hospital, they went there and used pillow to choke her to death. That was how those people who vowed to deal with His holiness started carrying out their plans. But the truth is that they cannot kill him.”
Also speaking, Sunny, who equally worships at CPA, maintained that whereas the judgment was contrary to their expectations, they remained confident that he would come out unscathed.
“His holiness cannot be killed. He is more than a mere human being and cannot be killed by any mortal.
“We were waiting with high expectations that the case would be struck out. We held a vigil yesterday and went ahead to clean the church premises waiting for his return. We didn’t have to pray for the case to be struck out at the vigil because we were convinced that he would be released.
“The Supreme Court judgment cannot dampen our morale because we are convinced that he would not be killed. He is not a mere mortal like the rest of us. He will come back home at the appointed time and by then, the people behind this whole thing will bury their heads in shame,” he stated.H

The Nigeria Customs Service intercepted arms and ammunition's concealed in a container and arrested a suspect.

The Nigeria Customs Service, (NCS), Tin-Can Island command, Tuesday intercepted arms and ammunition's concealed in a container and arrested a suspect.
Speaking while handing over the contraband cargoes, NCS Area Comptroller, Mr. Yusuf Bashar said that the healthy collaboration amongst security agencies working in the command led to the interception.
Bashar also said that the Customs will continue to synergise with all relevant government agencies to ensure the security and safety of the ports and border stations.
The seized items included 980 rounds of live 9mm ammunitions, one Taurus pistol with number THX43606.
Others included military ware, a pair of black boot, a military face cap, a pair of camouflage hand gloves and an army coloured plastic container.

He added that the contents of the box were prohibited items not to be imported by any individual adding that these are material that can only be imported by the Army.
“We believe that there must a sinister reason for the importation of the prohibited materials. There is a network of moving and distributing these arms and ammunition.”
He said that the cargo was shipped from the United States were discovered in a one by forty foot container with number crhu452745/2.
The suspect, the CAC said, was with the Directorate of the State Security Service ( DSSS) for further investigation.

Firm invests $400m in vessel fabrication, integration yard

 

The Lagos Deep Offshore Logistics (LADOL) base and Samsung Heavy Industries have invested $400 million in a vessel fabrication and integration yard in Lagos, The Nation has learnt.
Additional $200 million will also be injected in the yard in the next few months.
The yard, it was gathered, has the capacity for Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) integration and conversion.
The $600 million LADOL free zone within the Apapa Pilotage District is a world-class facility. Access to the place is restricted.
It has extensive infrastructure and equipment layout, making it an ideal environment for vessel integration, offshore oil and gas mega-fabrication, pipe coating, engineering and agricultural processing centre.
The facility is fenced round with adequate lighting, close circuit television (CCTV) and port pass. Security operatives patrol the base.
A senior official of the Federal Ministry of Transport (FMoT) told The Nation that the base, a wholly indigenous organisation, has created jobs in the offshore logistics sector. On completion, he added, it will promote local content.
LADOL, the official said, has the biggest vessel fabrication and integration yard in the region, with capacity for FPSO integration and conversion, top-side FPSO modula fabrication, large offshore fabrication and range of general steel construction at a rate of 10MT per year. LADOL has also expanded its fabrication capacity from 10,000 tonnes to 40,000 tonnes to service FPSO, oil rigs, ship repairs and maintenance.
“The move is to concentrate on mega oil and gas and maritime fabrication jobs for West Africa in the country. Several countries in Africa, such as Sao Tome, South Africa, Ghana, Angola, Ivory Coast  and Equatorial Guinea currently look up to the facility for the discharge of oil and gas cargoes.
“The issue of security risks in the business of discharging oil and gas cargo has been addressed by the promoters of the facility because they have complied with the International Ships and Ports Facility Security (ISPS) code which is being implemented in the country by the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).
“The width and draft of the Lagos channel which is now around 13.5 meters makes it possible for the base to handle FPSO operations. The minimum 600 meters radius for turning basin for FPSO operation has already been addressed
“Also, the fear that the facility would create an un-conducive operating atmosphere to terminal operators and that the economic interest of other users of the channel may be jeopardised, are mere delusion and figment of imagination of those raising the issues.
To make the nation’s ports Africa’s hub, improve LADOL, it was gathered, has acquired giant cranes described as the first in the country.
The acquisition of the equipment,  may lead to a “vigorous market share battle” in the maritime and oil and gas industry.
An official working at the facility who identified himself as Mr Sunday said: “It is certainly something that has been needed for quite some time. It will bring more business to the port and more work hours for those engaging in the maritime trade. In future, the larger cranes may require rail lines and that the channel be widened and deepen by the NPA so that modern larger vessels can transit the waterway.”
The cranes, he said, were imported, to take care of heavy industries machines and other equipment that are needed in the maritime and oil and gas industry.
“The cranes were also purchased to attract big vessels and heavy cargo. The company is ready to deal with big capacity vessels that would bring in oil and gas cargoes, automobile parts, and heavy industrial materials,” he said.
LADOL Managing Director, Dr Army Jadesimi said the free trade zone would provide 5,000 jobs inside the company; 100,000 would be created outside the base.
“LADOL is the only 100per cent Nigerian logistics base owner in Nigeria and the only one to develop a facility from a zero value Greenfield NPA site into a $600 million world class base,” she said.






Re: LADOL & Samsung Invest $400m In Vessel Fabrication, Integration Yard In Lagos

Senior Nigerian lawyer, Rickey Tarfa, arraigned; floods court with over 90 SANs

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Tuesday arraigned a senior lawyer, Rickey Tarfa, before Justice Aishat Opesanwo of Lagos State High Court, Igbosere, on 2-count charge of obstruction of justice and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Mr. Tarfa pleaded not guilty to both counts.
Based on his plea, the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo prayed the court for a trial date and to remand the defendant in custody.
However, Adeniyi Akintola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, who led a team of over 90 Senior Advocates and other lawyers to represent Mr. Tarfa, said they had filed an application for bail which he said was served on the prosecution on the 10th of February, 2016.
In his application for bail, the defence counsel told the court that the defendant went to court voluntarily and that he was granted administrative bail by EFCC on self-recognition.
He said the defendant was a very senior member of the bar with no criminal record. He said there was nothing to show that the defendant would jump bail.
However, prosecution counsel, Rotimi Oyedepo, urged the court to dismiss the application as the offence was grave. He urged the court to dismiss the application and order for an accelerated hearing.

Justice Opesanwo, in her ruling, granted bail to Mr. Tarfa on self-recognition but ordered that he must not travel out of the country without the permission of the court.
The trial judge bemoaned the number of counsel who were in court for the defendant. She noted that there was no need for such magnitude of support as it amounts to harassment and intimidation of the court.
Soon after the ruling, Mr. Akintola told the court that he had filed an application to quash the charge.
Mr. Rotimi responded that he had not been served. He was subsequently served by the defence counsel in open court.
Justice Opesanwo adjourned the matter to March 14, for hearing of the application to quash the charge while the substantive case was fixed for April 20, 2016 for trial.
Mr. Ricky Tarfa, SAN, is accused of willfully obstructing two officers of the EFCC, Moses Awolusi and Sanusi Mohammed from arresting Gnanhooue Sourou and Nazaire Odeste, who were suspected to have committed economic and financial crimes in contravention of Section 38(2) (a) of the EFCC Establishment Act of 2004.
Also, he is alleged to have engaged in improper communication with Justice M. Yunusa of the Federal High Court Lagos between May 11 and June 25, 2015 while the case between the EFCC and two others was pending before the judge.
Count 1:
“That You Rickey Tarfa (SAN) on or about the 5th day of February, 2016 in Lagos within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, wilfully obstructed Moses Awolusi and Sanusi Mohammed, authorized officer of Economic and Financial Crime Commission from arresting GNANHOUE SOUROU and NAZAIRE ODESTE who were reasonably suspected to have committed economic and financial crimes by keeping the said suspects in your car between 11.00 hours to 16: 30 hours”
Count 2:
“RICKEY TARFA (SAN) between 11th of May and 25th of June, 2015 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court attempted to pervert the course of justice by communicating with Hon. Justice M.N. Yunusa of the Federal High Court through your mobile Telephone No. 08034600000 whilst suit No: FHC/L/CS/715/2015 between Rana Prestige Industries Nigeria and EFCC and Suit No: FHC/L/CS/716 between Hair Prestige Manufacturing Nigeria and EFCC filed by you on behalf of the applicants in the two suits seeking to retrain the commission from performing its statutory duties were pending before the said judge”.

BREAKING: James Ibori released from UK prison, re-arrested

Former Delta State governor, James Ibori, was convicted for corruption

Former governor of Delta State, James Onanefe Ibori has completed his prison terms in the United Kingdom. But he is yet to be a free man, as he was immediately re-arrested.
And i learnt that Ibori jailed 13 years in April 2012 by a Southwark Crown court in London was released by prison authorities on 22 January.

He was released from Her Majesty’s Prison in Bedford, outside of London, where he finished his prison term. He was also initially at the Long Lartin Prison in Worcestershire.
“He is out of here”, a prison source at Bedford confirmed on Tuesday night.
Our sources said Ibori was re-arrested to face another charge, which borders on the confiscation of his ill-gotten assets, estimated to be about 250 million pounds. The case initially billed for May, will now come up in June, sources told us this afternoon.
We cannot however confirm Ibori’s new prison.
Fifty-seven year old Ibori was jailed for using UK financial institutions to launder hundreds of millions of pound sterling he stole from public funds in Delta State.
His journey to jail began with his arrest On 13 May 2010 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates under Interpol arrest warrants, issued from United Kingdom courts and enacted by the Metropolitan Police.
He had earlier made a mockery of Nigeria’s legal system, walking away free from the multi-billion fraud charge levelled against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, including the $15 million bribe he offered the then EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu.
Ibori’s case and extradition became one of the longest, most complex and expensive operations mounted by Scotland Yard in recent years.

Prosecutors alleged that companies owned by Ibori and his family were beneficiaries from the sale of state assets, including shares in Econet, a GSM telephone operator, as well as crude oil deliveries.
Before his conviction, UK juries two years earlier found James Ibori’s sister, Christine Ibie-Ibori and his mistress, Udoamaka Okoronkwo, guilty on counts of money laundering, in a verdict delivered at the Southwark Crown Court, London.
On 27 February 2012, Ibori himself was docked, accused of stealing US$250 million from the Nigerian public purse. He pleaded guilty to ten counts of money laundering and conspiracy to defraud. Among possessions confiscated were a house in Hampstead, north London, for £2.2million, a property in Shaftesbury, Dorset for £311,000, A £3.2m mansion in Sandton, near Johannesburg South Africa , a fleet of armoured Range Rovers valued at £600,000,a £120,000 Bentley Continental GT, A Mercedes-Benz Maybach bought for €407,000 cash, that was shipped direct to his mansion in South Africa
After the sentencing hearing, Sue Patten, head of the Crown Prosecution Service central fraud group, said it would bid to confiscate the assets Ibori had acquired his riches “at the expense of the some of the poorest people in the world.
Also jailed with him apart from his sister and mistress were his wife, Theresa Nkoyo Ibori, his lawyer, Bhadresh Gohil and his financial advisors, Daniel McCann and Lambertus De Boer.
While in prison, Ibori continued to exercise a lot of influence on the politics of his Delta state, with the present governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, regarded as one of his disciples.
Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan, two term governor of the state, who succeeded him in 2007 is his uncle.
Born in Oghara, 57 years ago, the young James Onanefe Ibori was educated at Baptist High school, now Oghareki Grammar School. From there, he went to the University of Benin, where he studied economics and statistics. After his university education, he moved to the United Kingdom, where he worked at Wickes DIY, married his wife, Theresa and tainted his record with two convictions for theft and credit card fraud, that were to later haunt his political career in Nigeria.
He became governor of Delta state in 1999 and held forte for eight years.
