Michelle Obama’s Look Alike: Nigerian Lady Claims She Resembles American 1st Lady
“GTBank Is Using Workers Salaries ToPay Loans ” – Akure Workers ShutDown Bank
Negotiating Council (JNC) Ondo State on Tuesday
shut down business activities at the headquarters
branch of the Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) on
Alagbaka Road in Akure, the state capital.
The workers, chanting solidarity songs, were
protesting non-payment of their salaries. They
also alleged sabotage of their efforts by the
officers of the bank.
They said that GTB, without the knowledge of the
state government, had withheld their salaries with
the intention of using the money to defray its
loans.
Many of them carried placards bearing such
inscriptions as: “Enough of GTB Exploitation
Antics in Ondo State”; “Workers and People of
Ondo State Beware of GTB in Akure”’ “We are
tired of GTB behavior”; “GTB will ruin our life in
Ondo State”; and “We won’t take this no more for
GTB.”
One of the protesting workers told
SaharaReporters that their salaries were withheld
by the bank while various unknown alerts were
sent to them from the bank.
“As at now I have not received my January salary
which is not supposed to be so. We learnt that
GTB is planning to defraud us. They want to use
our money for loans. We won’t take this from
them.”
Speaking with journalists, the JNC chairman in
Ondo State, Comrade Oluwole Adeleye Samuel,
also alleged that the bank was trying to sabotage
the workers by using their salaries for defraying
loans.
“This bank without the authority of the
government of Ondo State been represented by
the Account General took Seven Hundred and Six
Million Naira (N706.000.000.00) meant for the
payment of workers salary to defray a loan.
“As a result of this our salary has not being paid.
We are tired of this barbaric act of the bank. They
are holding us for ransom and we won’t take it
from them. I can assure you that we won’t allow
any transaction to occur in this bank unless they
pay our people”.
All effort by SaharaReporters to obtain the
position of the Managing Director of the bank
proved abortive, as staff kept mute when asked
about his whereabouts.
But the Head of Operations of the bank, whose
chest badge read ‘Kehinde Oyeleke,’ but who
refused to mention his name to SaharaReporters,
angrily declined to comment on the issue.
“I am not aware of what is happening,” he
retorted. “The bank does not have issues with
the workers. What sort of questions are you
asking me, I just told you we don’t have issues
with the bank? What do you want me to say?”
The workers vowed to continue the protest and
threatened tio occupy the entire street leading to
the Alagbaka branch if no positive progress was
made, adding that they would not allow
customers into the bank.
Meanwhile the Automated Teller Machines
(ATMs) of the bank have been shut down with the
protesters threatening to deal with any workers of
the bank who dared to attend to customers.
As of the time of this story, officers of the Ondo
State Command of the Nigerian Police Force were
being drafted to the scene to curtail any violence
and prevent the protest from being hijacked.

Dog Arrested In Lagos Nigeria ForBiting Banker ’ s Penis
for biting a banker’s penis in Ikotun. The incident
happened at Idowu Anisere street.
The dog’s owner, 31-year-old Adebowale Gabriel
has been charged at Ejigbo Magistrate court for
neglecting his pet.
The dog was specifically charged with assault,
while Gabriel was charged with negligence under
the Criminal Code.
The arrest of the dog and Gabriel followed a
complaint by the victim, Mr. Simon Anwam, to the
police in Ikotun division that when he was
walking on the street, the dog pounced on him
and inflicted deep injury on his penis.
Narrating what happened, Anwam who hails from
Akwa Ibom State, southsouth Nigeria, said when
he was returning home from work and he had
almost reached his house, he met Gabriel on the
way holding his dog with chain.
He said he was surprised when the dog jumped
on him and bit his penis before he could be
rescued from it.
Anwam narrated that when he discovered that his
trousers was stained with blood, he quickly
rushed home to check his penis and discovered
that he had been severely injured.
He complained that after the incident, he could
not urinate easily. He explained that when he
attempted to urinate, blood flowed from his penis
and he had to urinate with the aid of a pipe.
Anwam said when he went to a private hospital
for treatment he was referred to the General
Hospital on Lagos Island.
Following the incident, the police in Ikotun
division arrested the dog Gabriel.
Confirming the incident, Gabriel said he was
surprised the way his dog attacked Anwam.
He said he was holding the dog with chain when
the dog suddenly attacked the bank worker who
was passing by.
Gabriel said he had pleaded with Anwam and his
wife about the incident and he has also offered to
pay for his medical treatment before the police
charged him to court.
When the dog and Gabriel were about to be
arraigned, their plea was not taken.
The prosecutor, Mr Nicholas Atumonye, told the
court that the parties involved in the matter
wanted to settle out of court.
He told the court that the complainant had
written a letter of withdrawal.
This dog is very wicked. So he can’t bite any
other part except his manhood.
I pity this man’s condition ooo.
Nigerian Music Producer CobhamsAsuquo “My Blindness Is A Gift
musicians like Asa, Timi Dakolo, Omawumi and
Bez recently talked about his blindness and how
his condition has distinguished him.
Hear what the talented song writer said about his
‘Gift Of Blindness’:
Blindness has been a gift for me because it has
done pretty good things to me. It has brought me
face to face with my reality. It has brought me
face to face with possibilities and failure. It has
been a gift to me because it has helped to reduce
the measure of distraction in my life. I like to say
blindness is a focus. It helps create focus. It
could be a gift in many ways. Never mind that it
is what anyone would wish the other person, but
it is a gift to me. I just feel that whoever is blind
can still make the best out of any situation he
finds himself. Being blind has helped add the
wow factor in what I do. It has helped me to be
focused. I don’t think there are many things that
I do that you can’t find other people, who are not
blind, doing well. There are people like my friend,
Don Jazzy, who are absolutely fantastic
producers. Don Jazzy is not blind. There is
Quincy Jones, a legendary producer, who is not
blind. But the blindness has sort of added that
wow factor to what I do. It has brought to fore
my gifts and ability and I am quite thankful for
that.
Cobhams Asuquo is happily married to Ojuola
Olukanni and they are blessed with kids.
Hmmm what a thankful man!

el-rufai-released-dss-after-15hrs
After being questioned for close to fifteen hours at Department of State Services, (DSS) Malam Nasir el-Rufai, former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, who on Tuesday willing surrendered to the DSS regained his freedom.
El-Rufai, the current Interim Deputy National Secretary of the nation’s leading opposition party, All Progressives Congress, APC, was driven on Tuesday by Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi, to the national headquarters of the security outfit at about 9.15a.m. in an ash-coloured Mercedes Sports Utility Vehicle was released at about midnight on Monday to go home.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Friday strongly condemned the harassment of its Deputy National Secretary, Malam Nasir El-Rufai by the Department of State Security (DSS), describing the storming of his residence in Abuja by armed DSS operatives on Friday, without producing any arrest warrant as a shameful overkill.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party expressed shock that the DSS was seeking to arrest El-Rufai for merely exercising his constitutional right of free speech.
It said there was nothing inciting or extraordinary in the statement credited to Malam El-Rufai that theremight be violence if the 2015 general elections were not free and fair.’’What our Deputy National Secretary said is a statement of fact and should not warrant any harassment, unless of course the DSS is saying that the 2015 general elections will not be free and fair,’’ APC said
Nasir el-Rufai was summoned by the DSS over his comment on the possibility of violence erupting if next year’s general elections were rigged.
However, at the DSS headquarters, only Amaechi, Ngige and El-Rufai’s lawyer were allowed to follow him into the premises of the security outfit.
Speaking to newsmen at his Maitama home on Monday morning before he was driven to the DSS headquarters, El-Rufai insisted he was innocent, adding that his comment about the possibility of violence erupting if next year’s general elections were rigged was based on Nigeria’s electoral history.
He maintained that his comment was in line with his freedom of speech as enshrined in the amended 1999 Constitution.
Said he: “The statement I made was based on historical fact because it happened in 1964, 1983, 2003, 2007 and 2011.”
El-Rufai said he was ready to go to court to enforce his fundamental human rights, if the need arose, adding, “we are ready to pursue the enforcement of our rights in the law court and in the court of public opinion; whoever does anything against the law should face the consequences.
More details soon

A Must Read Inspirational Story
This man, in the face of this was not fulfilled. This was because he was just a column writer in a local newspaper, and through that, he earned not more than #25,000 in a month.
Consequently, he could only afford a small public school for his children, much to the chagrin of his dear wife.
Slowly but surely, this woman gradually lost all the respect that he had for her husband. Especially due to the fact that she was earning a bit higher than her dear husband due to promotions.
Damn… She was young and beautiful, and this made men to flock around her always trying to get a taste of God’s beautiful creature but she had remained faithful for the love of her husband. But as things stands now, she was moving to the brink of compromise.
She was to see the full dividend of her compromise when a certain chief gave her the sum of #450,000 just for her Christmas shopping. So this is what I have been missing all these while she reasoned. This made her to loosen herself to every big man in town whom she believes would foot better bills for her. Through out the ember months, her class changed even as she unilaterally changed her children’s school to one of the best in the state.
Mr Jacobs her husband, who was into column writing has proved himself to be an enemy to the state government in power. So many times, the governor had sent thugs to man-handle him and even leave him in bruises. His criticism of the brutal governor has not gone down well with his wife either, who had in the past begged her husband to stop the column-writing in order to save his life for the sake of her and the children. Yet, Mr Jacobs held out. The governor had tried in every possible way to stop this man but he seemed not to be afraid of death. He even went as far as rejecting bribes from the government house. His wife almost went mad when she heard that her husband rejected a #500,000 bribe from the governor when they were struggling to eat.
Consequently, her disgust for Mr Jacobs grew.
Mr Jacobs had now started hearing “kepu kepu” about his wife’s escapades in town with high chief and this further led to his frustration but yet, he kept on writing his column.
The gossips about his wife got so much that he had to confront her about it only to be washed with insults by his wife about how “useless” and “irresponsible” he is.
Florence, his wife was a personified venom on that day as she further claimed that Mr Jacobs has not been man enough for her and his children. And since he could not shoulder his responsibilities, other men had to do it for him.
On hearing this, Mr Jacobs who had not beaten his wife ever before, released a hot, dirty slap on Florence’s cheek
Poooooow !!!
That slap… That brutal slap… That ruthless slap, made his wife to tell him that she regrets the day she married him. It was indeed the last straw that broke the camel’s back as regards their marital well-being. Florence could not tolerate that assault, not after catering for the family with her hard earned cash when her husband was not able to.
That Christmas, Mr Jacobs had not planned to move his family home for Christmas because of his cash strapped pocket. But his enraged wife had another plan, especially when she has the big men blowing her pocket.
Just on the morning of 24th Dec, she moved her children to her own home town to spend the Christmas there. Mr Jacobs was to come back from the office after writing an image tarnishing piece against the governor’s wife who had turned her office into a spending castle, only to meet a note on the table from his wife about their whereabouts. All these because i don’t have money, he murmured to himself in anguish . . . . . . . . . And cried profusely like a baby.
Oh poor Jacobs !!
He stayed all alone through out the season, little did he know what was coming.
In the governor’s new year broadcast on the 1st of January, His Excellency shocked the state. Mr Jacobs Anasor is hereby appointed as the new Director General of the State Broadcasting service. His party advisers had advised him to appoint the ruthless writer as a way to seduce him to their side. This was coming after the former board was dissolved 2 weeks ago. The governor feared that Mr Jacobs would reject the offer if he was informed before hand about it, hence he chose to broadcast it first.
Mrs Florence was not aware of this broadcast. But its reality dawned on her when her colleagues, friends and neighbours started raining calls to her phone like never before, congratulating her. This was a shocker. She just could not believe it. Infact, she was confused. Where does she go from here ?
Mr Jacobs was to have a government delegation sent to his house to urge him to accept the appointment which entailed him starting work the next day, which is 2nd of January.
After being handed over at the office, his new secretary came in with a crying woman, HIS WIFE ! He bowed down while struggling to hold back his tears, He Cried. Share to Inspire others.
Lesson for all. very inspirational

Nigerian 2015 Valentine -Election Ruse : Nigeria ’ s Youth Must Val Their Future
Nigeria’s youth, a demographic of over 43% of the
nation’s population, have many things in
common: They are the most unemployed, the
most marginalized and least represented in
political office, the most used as political thugs,
the most socially active, and the most vocally
resentful of the chronically recycled and
retrogressive leadership political climate, of all
groups. But in addition to these, there is
something else that tags this robust population—
February 14th, Valentine’s Day.
Nigeria’s active youth are sold onto the western
love holiday with roots from ancient Roman sex
match-up fertility festival Lupercalia, dedicated to
god Lupercus. February 14th every year sees
more and more Nigerian Youth exerting
themselves to approach and consolidate their love
to their loved ones with financial, thought and
time investing tasty, ingenious and indigenous
exploits.
And February 14th, 2015, a date that expectedly
will have Nigeria’s anti-cabal, anti-status-quo,
anti-government-magic, pro-time for dynamic
and progressive change, mobile technologically
advanced Youth preoccupied and distracted is the
date INEC (Anambra INEC) selected for next
year’s crucial elections. That is a war, openly
declared against Nigeria’s Youth.
We shouldn’t for a second assume these people
do not have expert strategists who plot and ploy
against us. They do. Somebody suggested that
we Youth are so stupid, we will fail to organize
and vote for our future due to our preoccupation
with the festivities of valentine’s day. There may
be antecedent to such thought, after all did we
Youth not invest as much as $500,000 to invite
another man’s pregnant, slutty wife from the US
for 15 minutes to grace the love day, the other
day?
Selecting February 14th 2015 was no accident. It
is left to us Youth to prove our enemies wrong.
We must turn this attack into an opportunity.
Harvest victory from the onslaught and insult.
So February 14th this year, 2014, let those of us
who celebrate Valentines, make it a double Val.
Mark it extra special with your loved ones for this
and next year because next year 14th our Future
MUST be our one and only Valentine!
The gifts we must exchange next year on Val’s
Day and Election Day, should be gifts to each
other, our parents, our children and our ancestors
of our standing up, our utilizing every social
media tool we have at our disposal, our
exhausting our ingenuity and sacrificing our
crimson fluid to ensure that we and ours cast the
right vote. From now, we should expect many
more gimmicks from them, but be prepared.
Valentine/Election next year must be a day that
we the Youth stand up for ourselves. We must
not stick to popular parties or persons, but only
choose the best and most morally upright
candidates.
We shall not reject their bribe at the polls, please
collect the Indomie noodles and N5000 they give
you. It is your money they have already stolen
after all, and they will not return it to the coffer if
you reject it. But remember you have no trust to
keep with them because they have broken their
trust with you. They have poisoned you, polluted
your hearts and land, discarded you, neglected
you, raped, exploited and extorted you. They hate
you, so it is meet you do not respect them.
Collect the peanuts and vote for the right
candidate you have prior prayed, measured and
deemed worthy.
These people wish to be in office for ever. By
making a mistake, you may not be only
mortgaging the next 4 years of your life and that
of your family and friends. You will likely be
mortgaging the next 8+!
They know we electric, new generation Youth do
not believe in zoning, and care-less, north or
south, Baga or Otuoke, South-Amaechi, North-
Suswam, Emeka, Shuwa, Danladi or Yomi, all we
want is intelligent, non-corrupt, again, non-
corrupt, modern progressive candidates. They
know we know that building a bride or road is no
‘progress’ to be ‘launched’ and touted as an
achievement of government. They know we are
not fascinated by their ancient, retrogressive
antics. They know we are eager to rise above
cabal sponsored tribalism. They know we are all
ready to sit together at a true SNC table and
discuss Nigeria. They know we are tired of them
and ready for change, for progress and
competitive development. They know we are very
different from them and they are scared of us.
George H. W. Bush at the 1988 Republican
National Convention promised the American
people: “Read my lips: no new taxes.” When he
broke his oath and raised taxes, US political
commentary has it that the American people
voted out G. W. Bush in his 1992 re-election bid
for violation of his covenant.
If Goodluck Ebele Jonathan reneges on his
promise and covenant not to run in 2015, vote
him out!
If PDP selects shameful thieves to contest as its
candidates for presidency, assembly or
governorship posts, dump them like dirty wash
water!
If APC presents worthless candidates, look at the
next Party, and the next and the next.
Do not betray your honor and dignity. They stole
all our billions but not your thumb. We must be
our captains, no listening to the brainwashing of
political Big-wigs till the elections, only to
streets’ tweets.
Many of us have never voted. It is better you vote
for a candidate that cannot win, but you’ve
carefully studied and believe in, than you do not
vote, ethnically vote or vote for a candidate you
are unsure of.
February 14, 2015 is right round the corner. Start
building your political capital. Campaign, contest!
Let us ‘Kick out Siddon Look’ from TODAY and
start organizing ourselves in community political
think and action groups. Today, let us begin
operation Flush-out shameless lawmakers,
governors, presidents!
Elections are near. I feel victorious already, don’t
you? The power is coming back to us. We will
monitor the polls; rigging will not overturn this
one. Billions allocated to bribe and buy elite and a
handful of youth ‘leaders’ cannot stop our
decision to win and send the goons to their
cocoons this time.
Mobilize, good people. Let Our Future be our Val,
2015!
Guys, elections dey come, power done come our
hand!
Aluta initium, Victoria Acerta!
