Trouble In Ogun State As Youths Burn House, 2 Vehicles Of Suspected Ritualists

Youths believed to be Moshood Abiola Polytechnic students yesterday stormed a particular house in Akinremi Estate, Adigbe, Abeokuta in Ogun State, after a young pregnant lady escaped from the house to another building pleading with residents to come to her rescue and save her from her kidnappers.

According to eye witnesses, the lady rushed out and pleaded with us to save her from her kidnappers. She said her sister brought her from Delta State after she sold her to the kidnappers for N100,000.


Residents quickly alerted the Police, who came to search the house and found three more pregnant women and five babies. Two people were arrested immediately and taken to the police station.

But then, soon as the students heard of the incident, they rushed down and invaded the house, burnt the storey building and the two cars parked in it.

People who lived around testified that the house was leased out to an individual and the owner never lived in the place. The two arrested ritualists pleaded not guilty and insisted it was a baby factory and not for ritual purposes.

Part of what was found in the house by the students was a blood-filled basin, coffin, mortar, calabash, effigy, assorted charms, clothes, live scorpion and other suspected fetish items.

Orji Kalu Takes A Shot At FG! Sleepy Old Men At The On-Going Conference Can’t Make A Change

A former Abia State governor, Orji Kalu, has described the on-going National Conference in Abuja as a home to old men who do not have the strength to decide the future of the nation. Speaking at the Centenary Lecture organised by the Oyo State branch of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Kalu, who delivered a lecture titled, ‘Nigeria: A Nation in Quest of Credible Leadership’, said Nigeria would not move forward unless the first generation leaders withdrew gradually from politics.

He said, “The present crop of leaders seems to be failing the nation and the people are becoming increasingly doubtful if indeed we have leaders. To worsen matters, the first generation leaders are still mostly the ones calling the shots. If you go through the National Conference delegates’ list, you will be amazed by the number of men in their 80s still trying to determine the type of future that is suitable for the millennium generation. What fresh ideas can these sleepy old men offer on the way forward? There can be no credible leadership until these men begin to gradually withdraw and allow the younger generation to take charge.”

Another 'ritualist den' found in Ogun State

Weeks after a ritualist den was discovered in Soka, Ibadan, another one has been discovered under a bridge close to the gate of a popular Cement Company along the Abeokuta Lagos Expressway.

A man from Ado-Ekiti Ekiti State who had lived as a mad man in the Iyana Egbado village in Ewekoro LGA of the state was seen carrying a nylon bag yesterday in a suspicious manner. Residents of the area decided to find out what was in his nylon and upon tearing it, it was discovered it contained decayed human intestine stained with blood. He was about to be lynched but was quickly saved and whisked away by men of the Ogun State Police command.

The suspect later took the police to his hideout where sliced pieces of human parts, plastic containers filled with human blood, ladies pants, brassiers, ladies and men shoes, blood stained dresses and duvet, knives, various non-functioning electronics parts & assorted soft drinks were found.

Our Male Celebrities Have Become Sex Toys To Senators & Alhajas In High Places- Etcetera Spills

This guy is not even smiling at all, lol. Etcetera in a recent chat with Rose Peters-Graham, has spilled the beans. Etcetera accused Nigerian male celebrities of hopping on planes to Abuja just to search for a senator who would be their next sugar mummy or a highly connected woman they can marry. He also said the women have since turned these men into their sex toys, replacing them at will, week in, week out.

He said a lot to Rose, lol and also wonders why men who are married to female celebrities ignore their wives waywardness even when they know they are sleeping with politicians and other men in power, lol. Read part of the bombshell he dropped after the cut.


 “It is so appalling how some Nigerian men in the entertainment (industry) are becoming enslaved to women because of money. How can a man be so emasculated? Where is our pride?”, Etcetera first narrated. Then he went on to reveal that;

“Each time an entertainer boards a flight to Abuja, you begin to wonder if he’s going for a public event or a private one. Our male celebrities are unashamedly becoming sex toys and pleasure gadgets to female senators and Alhajas. What’s happening to Nigeria men?”

“It is so appalling to hear talks of how a former Senator has so many male celebrities on rotation for her weekly pleasures. Even the supposedly gospel musicians are at the fore front of this ridicule…Also, a man knows that his wife is sleeping with politicians and other societal big wigs for money and he closes his eyes to all the insults. What’s going on?” he queried.

I’m Not Dating K1 Neither Am I Fighting His Babymama- Dayo Amusa

Dayo Amusa has finally addressed the prolonged ‘k1 issue’ after a lot of people have speculated the actress is in a relationship with the fuji star and even desperately trying to get pregnant for him. But Dayo in a new interview with Encomium addressed the issue insisting what exists between them is a father and daughter relationship, and nothing more. Alleging the rumour started in 2011 when K1 played at her movie premiere in Lagos.

Speaking about the role she played when K1 recently gave out three daughters in marriage, she said, she was contacted to take care of entertainers who attended the ceremonies and she does not see a big deal in doing that, knowing K1 is a father figure to her. She also talked about K1’s latest baby mama, Bisola Badmus, insisting they are at peace and there’s no quarrel between them.

Interestingly, when Bisola was contacted if she was quarrelling with Dayo over K1, she said no, and joyfully said she can authoritatively tell us she is the only actress that has a baby for him in the entertainment industry. So here you have it people.

FIFA bans Barcelona from signing players for the next two transfer periods

FIFA today April 2nd banned Spanish football giants FC Barcelona from signing players till summer 2015 over rules breach relating to the international transfer and registration of players under 18.

According to reports, the club was investigated by FIFA for 12 months over their youth recruitment policy. And after FIFA found out that the club had been engaged in illegally recruiting and importing non-Spanish minors over a four year period, the world football governing body handed out the transfer ban and also fined the club £306,000. (450,000 Swiss francs.)

FIFA also fined the Spanish FA £340,000 for allowing Barcelona to embark on a sustained and extended policy of what is viewed as child exploitation by the world governing body. Read FIFA's statement below


'FC Barcelona has been found to be in breach of article 19 of the regulations in the case of 10 minor players and to have committed several other concurrent infringements in the context of other players.
The disciplinary committee regarded the infringements as serious and decided to sanction the club with a transfer ban at both national and international level for two complete and consecutive transfer periods, together with a fine of 450,000 Swiss francs.

'Additionally, the club was granted a period of 90 days in which to regularise the situation of all minor players concerned.'
 'The disciplinary committee emphasised that the protection of minors in the context of international transfers is an important social and legal issue that concerns all stakeholders in football.
'The committee highlighted that while international transfers might, in specific cases, be favourable to a young player's sporting career, they are very likely to be contrary to the best interests of the player as a minor.
'Young football players are vulnerable to exploitation and abuse in a foreign country without the proper controls. This particular fact makes the protection of minors in football by the sport's governing bodies, especially by FIFA, even more important.'
FIFA only allows international youth transfers when one of three situations apply: the player's parents have moved country for their own, non-related reasons; the move takes place within the European Union if a player is aged between 16 and 18; or the player's home is less than 50 kilometres from the national border being crossed.

How Robbers Now Use ATM Cards To Enrich Themselves In Lagos

May we not fall victim of this, but there is now a new trend of how robbers rob innocent Lagosians at cash points. Here’s the gist; these robbers don’t rob Monday nights, Tuesday or Thursday nights, but Friday nights. What they do is this. Some of them stay around the bank, while one of them walks up to the person making the transaction and gently smile and show him or her a gun or a sharp object. In case you want to play funny, he quickly points at his other members and tells you to corporate or you risk wasting your life.  He will then ask you to confirm your pin and makes withdrawal while you are still there, and dispose you of other ATM cards on you, after their pins have also been confirmed. They make the daily maximum withdrawal from Friday to Sunday and the smart ones wake up very early Monday morning to also make another withdrawal before you get to the bank to lodge your complaints. This has been going on for a while now, but it’s getting more rampant weeks after weeks.

Helicopters drop food items, arms for Boko Haram members - Yobe elders say

Former Minister of Finance, Mallam Adamu Ciroma; former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ambassador Babagana Kingibe; elder statesman, Shetima Mustapha and other political leaders from Yobe and Borno state yesterday held a press conference in Abuja where they revealed that members of the Islamic sect were being supplied food, medicine and arms with helicopters and wondered why security agents and the state governments have kept mum on this fact.
The elders who met under the umbrella of "Borno Yobe Peoples Forum" wondered why the 20-hilux car convoys of Boko Haram members can move freely and execute their plans without being intercepted by security men who are supposed to monitor movement even with the curfew both states are placed on right now.
They also asked the government to tell Nigerians who directed security officials to leave the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi in Yobe State few hours before the sect members attacked and killed 59 young students last month. Hmmm...continue...
Air Vice Marshal Al-amin Daggash, a former Chief of Air Staff, who spoke on behalf of other elders said
“Are the authorities unaware of helicopters dropping arms and ammunition, food and medical supplies to areas well known to be strong holds of the insurgents? How were the insurgents able to attack the Maiduguri Air-Force Base and demobilise as well as burn planes and other military installations despite existing state of emergency and curfew in the town? How could 20 to 30 Toyota Hilux vehicles move in a convoy freely with subsisting curfew and still go undetected?
“How did a little band of rag-tag misguided youths metamorphose into a well-kitted, well-armed killing machine moving freely in convoy of vehicles and supported by helicopters.
“How did the Shilka Tank, a multipurpose self propelled anti-aircraft  artillery weapon, positioned to secure Giwa Barracks, fail to function resulting in heavy loss of lives of both civilian and military as widely reported in the media? Are we dealing with fifth columnists in this crisis?” he said.
The elders asked that the State of Emergency that the three Northeast states, Yobe, Adamawa and Borno, are currently experiencing should not be extended as it has failed to achieve the purpose for which it was first enforced. According to Daggash, 17,000 people have been killed with over 3million people displaced this year.
