Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is a dogged fighter who will stop at nothing to pursue any cause he believes in.

He is a honest, diligent

Rivers Crisis: Lawmakers Asked To Vacate Official Quarters As Ijaw Youths Plan Protest Against Wike

Federal lawmakers from Rivers State have rallied behind Governor Siminialaye Fubara, pledging their support amid the governor’s feud with the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.

The federal lawmakers also called on the 25 Rivers House of Assembly members who defected from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to vacate their official quarters immediately.

The state lawmakers, they said, betrayed their constituents by abandoning their seats without consent.

Leading the charge, Mr. Dagomie Abiante, representing Andoni/ Opobo–Nkoro federal constituency in Rivers, said the defected lawmakers may choose to be slaves if they want.

'When my father was ill, my sister left her job to stay with him. My other sister left her business to work shifts with her. None of us boys left our business or work.

Yet you foolishly complain that you have only girls? You have hit the jackpot!

Each of your daughters is worth 3 sons! Having a daughter prolongs your life. She will not get into as much trouble as your sons.

She is less likely to be disobedient. When she leaves your house, she will remember you. If you are too old to leave alone, she will move you into her home, matrimonial or not. Go and thank God for having daughters!

Why I rejected Fela’s marriage proposal – Onyeka Onwenu

Veteran Nigerian singer, Onyeka Onwenu has revealed that Music legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti approached her for marriage in the eighties.

Onyeka revealed this in her new autobiography, titled My Father’s Daughter.

She, however, said she rejected Fela’s proposal during her visit to his club because of his other wives.

According to her, she is a possessive lover and did not understand Fela’s love for women.

Narrating how Fela proposed marriage, Onyeka wrote: “The second time I saw Fela was in 1984, a few years after I had returned from the United States. He had just been released from jail.

“He was arrested for attempting to travel with his band for a gig in London with the sum of 1,600 pounds for their hotel accommodation. At the time, carrying any amount of foreign currency was against one of the many decrees promulgated by the Buhari/Idiagbon military junta.

“After he was released from prison, Fela sent a mutual friend, the journalist Onuorah Udenwa who is now a US-based pastor, to bring me to his club. I thought that he probably wanted to thank me for speaking up for him, but that was not it.

“He never even mentioned the article I had written in solidarity with him. Fela wanted to marry me, and I was flattered. I thanked him for the honour of wanting me to become his consort, but I turned him down all the same.”

The music legend added that while she waited at the club to see him, she noticed that his Queen (dancer-wives) had been looking at her with scorn.

“They passed by often, whispering comments about me. They were downright hostile and quite obvious about it.

“I pointed this out to him and told him that I was a possessive lover and would not be able to cope as an appendage to his harem but Fela laughed.

Election Tribunal Verdict: Dr Kenny Bello congratulates President Tinubu, extols judiciary.

A chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State and Founder of KAB Foundation (an NGO), Dr Kenny Bello has reacted to the recent judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal by congratulating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his victory at the tribunal.

In a statement issued by his Media Office on Wednesday immediately after the judgement and made available to the newsmen.

He extolled the judiciary as the last hope of the common man, and for saving Nigeria 's democracy by delivering unbiased judgement outrightly not minding whose ox is gored.

Bello said he "recognizes the diligence, undaunted thoroughness and professionalism of the five - member bench led by Justice Haruna Tsammani in interpreting the law".

Also the tribunal in his ruling, dismissed all the petitions challenging the election victory of President Tinubu.

The presidential tribunal under the Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja on Wednesday night September 6, upheld the February 25, 2023 election victory of Tinubu and affirmed him as Nigeria's duly elected president.

In the meantime, the Ijebu East born politician called on Nigerians to collectively give maximum support to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's led administration in order to build Nigeria.

Bello urged the aggrieved presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi to accept the tribunal judgement verdict in good faith, and join hands with President Tinubu to move the country forward.

"Once elections have been held and a winner is announced, we must follow Good luck Jonathan 's doctrine and accept the people's verdict in the interest of democracy and the nation. Our elections don't have to end in the courts. But now that we found ourselves in this position, and the courts have spoken, let us put national interest above self interest, accept the verdict and move on so that the nation can advance", he added.
