Obasanjo is Nigeria's number one enemy, he is a cancer - Fayose
Obasanjo is Nigeria's number one enemy, he is a cancer - Fayose
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as the number one enemy of Nigeria, saying; "he is a confusionist who has lost his status as a statesman and Nigerians should simply ignore him."
The governor, who expressed confidence that President Goodluck Jonathan will be reelected to complete his eight years term, added that; "Obasanjo is only fighting President Jonathan because he prevented him (Obasanjo) from ruling Nigeria from his Ota Farm."
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said "Obasanjo is a cancer that may never get cured in a lifetime.
"The moment Obasanjo is not the one controlling a house, he will want the house pulled down but this time around, he has failed."
The governor said; "Obasanjo has always benefitted from the misfortune of others and he is living with the impression that he is the wisest person in the whole world.
"When Murtala Mohammed was murdered in 1976, Obasanjo was the beneficiary.
"In 1993, he said the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, late Chief MKO Abiola was not the Messiah Nigeria needed. Instead of Obasanjo to join the clamour for the actualisation of Abiola's mandate, Obasanjo was canvassing for an Interim National Government, which he schemed to head.
"MKO Abiola died in detention in 1997 and Obasanjo became the beneficiary of his (Abiola) death.
"Despite the fact that it was the blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo matched on to power, not even a street was named after Abiola throughout Obasanjo’s eight years as president.
"Today, Obasanjo is fighting President Jonathan, the man who has done what he failed to do for Abiola, the Yoruba people and Nigerians as a whole when he was president for eight years, simply because he does not want anyone to equal his record as Nigeria's longest serving president.
"President Jonathan has made it impossible for Obasanjo to run his presidency for him and for this reason, he is supporting Buhari, hoping that he will be the one to nominate ministers for Buhari if he becomes president.
"Abanije eniyan to nba eeyan je kiri, ojo to ba dekun ibaje ni won maa ba oun naa je kanle ( He who destroys will ultimately ends up in destruction).
"However, I have this bad news for Obasanjo. Nigeria is not his football that he can kick around as he likes. President Jonathan will be reelected, and Nigeria will be freed from his (Obasanjo) bondage once and for all."

AY writes open letter to IG of Police on the piracy of his movie, '30 Days in Atlanta
Dear sir,It is with the deepest sorrow that I pen these words. I have never understood the true meaning of the saying “only the one wearing the shoes feels the pain”, till recent times. Since the advent of Independent Producers, piracy has become the bane of the industry because as the saying goes ‘monkey de work, baboon de chop’.
The
excitement that greeted the movie industry through the Box-Office success of 30
Days In Atlanta has quickly turned to sorrowful awe as I heard the news that
the result of my sweat and sleepless nights has been sold by a traitorous
miscreant, yet unknown, to a dubious marketer in Alaba. The news that would
have made not just more Nigerians but also foreigners invest in Nollywood, has
been dampened by the nefarious activities of intellectual pirates who hide in
Alaba.
I
have contacted Silverbird Film Distribution (whom I submitted the master of my
movie to), Mr Afam Ezekude DG National Copyright Commission and Mr Ahbu Ventures
who heads a session of Alaba where the Criminals are operating, Yet nothing visible
has been done to take my movie off the street.
I
have always heard of the risk faced by honest producers of loss of revenue due
the activities of the incessant piracy cabals operating freely, without fear of
the law in Nigeria and within the past few weeks, this has been my experience
as I heard of the leak of my movie to various nefarious elements. Enough is
enough of the economic hardship that is created for hardworking movie producers
by some of these Alaba pirates who would do anything to reap from where they
did not sow.
Sir,
it has been argued that the impressive figures posted as revenue accrued to
Nollywood are a mere drop in the ocean if the malaise of piracy is properly
nipped by the effective implementation of the anti-piracy laws by the relevant
governmental agencies. Alaba is part of Nigeria and as such the activities
therein ought to be governed by the laws of Nigeria.
Even
the laudable financial facilities made available by Mr President to be accessed
by producers towards the development of the industry both as an employer of
labour and a growing contributor to the annual revenue of Nigeria will be for
naught if the piracy vampires continue to have a field day. The continued
dominance of piracy will either lead to producers refusing to make more movies
for fear of loss or that producers who go ahead to make movies using such funds
will then be forced to become indigents because they will unable to pay back
the loans accessed due to these vandals.
Sir,
Nollywood is a multi-billion-naira industry and the opening of new cinema
houses across the country is indeed cause for the celebration for both
producers and lovers of Nigerian movies but the major challenges of the
Nollywood industry from its birth till date has been the issue of transparent
distribution channels and the malaise of piracy.
No
more should a miscreant be celebrated or allowed to rape intellectual
properties of honest hardworking citizens with impunity while the owners of the
property impotently look on. No more should movie producers and other
intellectual property owners scrabble to quickly make the little they can before
‘Alaba boys’ get their hands on the content and turn a goldmine into a
dunghill.
I
urge you to use your good office to use your actions in arresting the illegal
spread of 30 Days In Atlanta as a standard for changing the status quo and
letting the miscreants know that no one is above the laws of Nigeria.
I
wait your intervention sir.
Thanks

Man kills his neighbor over generator fumes in Lagos
According to Punch, the men reside at an uncompleted building in the Okun Ajah. Ogombo area of Lagos state. On the day of the unfortunate incident, Bashorun Okanla had approached Tijani and told him that the fumes coming out of his generator was disturbing him. An argument ensued and one person ended up dying.
The two men got into a fist fight and before anyone could stop it, Tijani went into his house, got a cutlass and attacked Bashorun with it. The cut him on the head and hand. Bashorun was rushed to the hospital where he died.
Tijani then immediately reported himself to the Ogombo police station where he told them what happened
“On Sunday, I turned on my generator and when Baba Ade (Okanla) asked me to turn it off, I refused. Then he used a stick to hit me and we started fighting. A neighbour came and separated us and asked me to sit down beside him. But Baba Ade still went and destroyed my generator. I became angry and went inside my house and picked my cutlass. I used it on him”.Confirming the incident, the Lagos state Police Public Relations Officer, Nwosu Kenneth said further investigation on the matter was ongoing.
FFK responds to Obasanjo's recent attack on GEJ, accuses him of wanting to teleguide GEJ
President
Olusegun Obasanjo's allegations are serious and grave. They are also
reckless. He has raised issues and made assertions that are capable of
derailing our democracy and creating chaos in the land. It is vital that
we consider his motives for this latest outburst and his credentials as
a leader and an elder statesman.
The
truth is that he knows that President Goodluck Jonathan will win next
month's presidential election and that is why he wants to destroy the
credibility of the whole process right from the outset. What he is
trying to say in his latest contribution is that if President Jonathan
wins, then the election must have been rigged right from the outset.
This is not only wrong but it is also unfair and uncharitable. If
President Obasanjo has any evidence to prove his weighty allegations he
ought to present it before the Council of State and take it up there.
He
should also report to INEC itself and present the data of whatever
sinister plan he believes that President Jonathan has to stay in power
''by hook or by crook'' to them. He should tell INEC whatever it is that
Jonathan is doing in order for him to stay in power by all means and he
should give them all the details. That should be the starting point.
The
record shows that this is not the first time that INEC have postponed
elections. In 2011 during the National Assembly elections INEC not only
cancelled the elections just after they started but they also postponed
them by two weeks. The heavens did not fall then and neither did
President Obasanjo accuse INEC or the President of having any grand plan
to stay in power by hook or by crook at that time. One wonders what has
suddenly changed.
What
INEC has done by postponing the elections is firmly within the confines
of the law and they have probably saved thousands of lives by doing so.
They have also given the 34 per cent of Nigerians that had not
collected their PVC's as at the relevant time the opportunity to do so.
Without this postponement all those people would have been
disenfranchised and it would have placed a dark cloud over the whole
process. Why should President Obasanjo have a problem with that?
President
Jonathan has re-affirmed his commitment to the democratic process over
and over again and he has also said that the handover date of May 29th
is sacrosanct. In view of these assurances, one wonders why President
Obasanjo is creating such a hue and cry over nothing. What is he seeing
that no one else can see? One wonders what his motives are? Does he have
to rule every government by proxy? Must every leader take instructions
from him? Is it a case of ''if I cannot control you and tell you what to
do then you must go?''
President
Obasanjo spoke about President Laurent Gbagbo and he claimed that
President Jonathan was attempting to do a Gbagbo in Nigeria. The
question that must be put to him is this: ''who got Gbagbo out?'' Was it
not Jonathan's government that played a key role in ensuring that
democracy was fully established in the Ivory Coast and did he not play a
key role in ensuring that the Gbagbo plan ''stay in power forever
plan'' did not work? If anyone doubts this they should ask President
Alhassan Outtara of La Cote D'Ivoire the role that Jonathan and Nigeria
played in helping to restore democracy and stability back to his
country.
They
should also find out the role that President Obasanjo played in
attempting to keep President Laurent Gbagbo in power at all costs and
the deep friendship that exists between the two men. It is a matter of
fact and public record that when he was President of Nigeria, President
Obasanjo, perhaps more than any other African Head of State with the
exception of President Jacob Zuma of South Africa, propped up and
supported President Gbagbo and it is an irony of fate and history that
he is now condemning the actions of his old friend and accusing others
of trying to emulate them.
Again
it is ironic that President Obasanjo has accused President Jonathan of
having a grand plan to stay in power at all costs and by all means yet
it is the same Obasanjo that tried to stay in power for a third term
even though the Nigerian constitution specifically forbade it. He tried
all he could to change the constitution but the whole thing failed and
he was compelled to leave power.
After
Jonathan came to power, Obasanjo not only tried to control and
teleguide him but he also asked him to do a number of things that were
simply wrong and unacceptable. It is for President Goodluck Jonathan
himself to divulge those things and I am sure that he will do so at the
appropriate time. Needless to say President Jonathan refused to be
teleguided and told what to do even though at all times he showed
Obasanjo maximum respect and accorded him all the privileges, access and
courtesies that is due to a former Head of State and a father and
mentor. This continued to be the case even after Obasanjo consistently
attempted to undermine his government and ridicule his efforts.
Yet
President Obasanjo could not be appeased and was not satisfied. As far
as he was concerned, he must either control Jonathan or Jonathan had to
go. That is why he decided to secretly support the APC and became their
''navigator in chief''. He was determined to pull the whole house down
rather than allow Jonathan to return to power. This is simply because he
believes that if he cannot control someone that person must be
destroyed. Control and domination is an obsession for Obasanjo. That is
the bottom line. He is prepared to put even the devil in power provided
he can control him. That is why he is so determined to stop Jonathan and
put in place an Interim Government which he, or one of his surrogates,
will head. That is his plan and he is determined to achieve it no matter
what it takes.
Obasanjo
does not want genuine democracy. He only pretends to want it. What he
wants is control and a stooge in power. It does not matter what type of
government it is as long as he controls it and it is headed by his
puppet. It can be a military government, a civilian one, a democratic
one, an interim government or a government of National Unity. To
Obasanjo it does not matter as long as he can control it. That is his
objective. That is why he hates Jonathan so much and that is why he
wishes to stop him at all costs.
The
bottom line is this: President Obasanjo's grouse with President
Jonathan is personal and it has nothing to do with Nigeria. He should
leave Nigeria out of it and let us all be. If he has a personal score to
settle with Jonathan he should not do so at the expense of the peace
and stability of Nigeria. If he wants to stop Jonathan then let him
attempt to do so through the democratic process and through the ballot
box and not through foul and unconstitutional means. We said it before
and we will say it again: gone are the days that any President can be
teleguided and controlled because we have all come of age.
We
continue to hold President Obasanjo in high esteem but his recent
actions and utterances are beyond the pale. He has been unfair to
Jonathan, to Nigeria and even to himself. Most importantly the days of
intimidating others with his harsh words and overbearing influence are
long over. Obasanjo is not God. Only God is God and He alone determines
the fortunes of men and the destiny of nations.
We
sincerely hope that President Obasanjo appreciates the gravity of what
he is attempting to do and we shall continue to pray that God will guide
him and deliver him from whatever it is that makes him want to destroy
all those that love him the most. Whether he likes it or not democracy
has come to stay in Nigeria and the will of the Nigerian people will be
done in next month’s presidential elections and thereafter. We believe
that is God's plan and not even one million Obasanjo's can stop it.

A Woman’s Nightmare
Tolu has been married for three years with
a child, her husband drinks and smokes heavily. Her only child was conceived on
one of those occasions the husband got home late heavily drunk. She was already
asleep; she woke up when she noticed her husband was on top of her but before a
few seconds he had ejaculated. She was not surprised at all, as this had been
the norm in the last 3 years.
Do you find yourself in this situation? Premature ejaculation means that you ejaculate quickly. Over 30% of men suffer from premature ejaculation. For some men this means a few seconds, for others it means 1-2 minutes. Most men ejaculate within 3-5 minutes after penetrating the vagina. All men lose their erection after ejaculation and it may take several minutes to several hours before the erection returns.
Premature ejaculation has a cure. Why don’t
