Why risk the lives of your children like this? Is Nigeria that bad that you would put them in a boat in the unsafe waters to take them to another country? Continue...

1500 Europe-bound African men, women and children were rescued in the last 48 hours off Libya shores by Libyan Coast Guard and MSF Sea.

Workers of the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company say they have become fearful in their office after some soldiers attached to the 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala Barracks, Abeokuta, Ogun State, allegedly beat up one of them over “poor power” supply.

Amaechi Is Visibly Worried In Picture With Obasanjo...what Could It Be About?

Looking at the picture, I am beginning to think that all is not well with Ameachi. Could it be the loss he got in the last rerun or that he has got wind that probably PMB is getting tired of his antics and would likely drop him. 

 

If he is eventually sacked, what next for Mr. Ameachi? One of the main reasons why PMB is not loved by all especially the SS and SE is the fact that Ameachi is in his government, the anti corruption crusade will never be taken serious until the likes of Ameachi faces the same music being played by PMB and EFCC. I am sure if this is done PMB will gain the love of all other parts as earlier mentioned.

Chad withdraws from AFCON, meaning Super Eagles will not qualify for AFCON if they lose tomorrow

Chad has withdrawn from the 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifiers due to the economic situation in the country. They will not honour the return leg against Tanzania on March 28, according to Chad Football Association Secretary General, Mahamoud. This means that if Nigeria's Super Eagles lose to Egypt in the return leg tomorrow they won't partake in the next African Cup of Nations tournament slated for Gabon next year.

According to CAF regulations, if a team withdraws from a qualifying group or tournament, all matches played against that team will be counted as null and void as stipulated in Article 61 of CAF rules. This means the teams in Group G have been reduced to three, Egypt, Nigeria and Tanzania, the Pharaohs are first with four points, followed by Nigeria, who have drawn two games and garnered two points, and last-placed Tanzania.

Based on the regulations of CAF, the 13 group winners and the two best overall runners-up will qualify for the tournament, but a group with three teams is not considered when determining the best runners-up.

Nigeria play Egypt tomorrow after playing a 1-1 draw with the Pharaohs at home.

Ibinabo, Segun Arinze, Others Must Beg me or I Jail Them…Emeka Ike

Earlier in the week, a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos struck out the Actors Guild of Nigeria’s Board of Trustees and Ibinabo Fiberesima’s suit over the President sit of the Actors Guild of Nigeria while reinstating Emeka Ike as the rightful President of the Guild.

This is good news for the actor who has since went on leave in acting but what he is not comfortable with is that Ibinabo and her executives have refused to come and beg the actor.
Emeka stated that Ibinabo might be serving her jail term for an offense she committed but might likely go to jail the second term if she does not come to beg him as her executives keep going to the press to write negative things about him.

According to him while speaking with Punch, “My victory at the court has nothing to do with Ibinabo’s predicament. This case is different and if Ibinabo is going to go to jail for my own case, they should come and beg me. Instead of them to come and beg me, they are still going to the press to say all sorts of rubbish about me. There is still a second jail term for Ibinabo. It is called contempt of court and it would also include Segun Arinze. People have threatened to kill me but I am not scared of them.

“I am waiting for them and I would look them in the face and tell them that they are evil and I am righteous. I did not take the issue to the police but straight to the court and I am happy that justice has been served. Anyone that ties Ibinabo’s plight to my victory is only trying to blackmail me and I know they would not stop blackmailing me. How can anyone say that I sent Ibinabo to jail? Am I the Giwa family or the government?”

Actress Ibinabo Fiberesima's bail application denied

Looks like the actress and mother of three will really spend years in prison over a car accident in 2005 that took a man's life. Her bail application suffered a setback yesterday Thursday March 17th at the court of Appeal in Lagos after the judges ruled that her application was incompetent.

The three man-panel led by Justice U.I Ndukwe-Anyanwu, said that the application was not properly filed as her counsel failed to attach copies of the judgment that was delivered by the court which affirmed the five years jail sentence imposed on her.

The court adjourned hearing for her bail application to April 7th when copies of the March 11th‎ judgement would have been included. She was afterward sent back to prison.

Ibinabo has approached the Supreme Court to set aside the March 11th verdict of the Lagos State Court of Appeal which validated the 5 year jail term handed down to her by the state's High court over the 2005 accident in which her car killed one Dr Giwa.
