The Kogi State High Court in Lokoja has issued a summon for Ola Olukoyede, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to appear in court on May 13, 2024. 

This directive stems from allegations of disregarding a court order. 

Olukoyede faces a contempt charge for allegedly violating a court order issued on February 9, 2024, restraining the EFCC from certain actions pending the determination of a substantive Originating Motion. 

Justice I. A. Jamil, in Suit No: HCL/68M/2024 and Motion No: HCL/190M/2024, ruled that the EFCC's actions amounted to contempt as they contravened a valid and subsisting court order.

EFCC operatives had laid siege on the residence of the immediate past Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, as early as 8am on April 17, 2024, with a bid to arrest him, despite a court order restraining them from taking such action, pending the determination of the Originating Motion. 

Justice Jamil's order was based on a motion ex-parte filed by Yahaya Bello through his lawyer, M.S. Yusuf, Esq, where he prayed the court 
for an order to issue and serve the Respondent (EFCC Chairman) with Form 49 Notice to show cause why Order of committal should not be made on Olukoyede.

Having listened to the arguments of the Applicant's counsel, the submission and exhibits attached in the Written Address, Justice Jamil granted Yahaya Bello's prayers and ordered Olukoyede to be summoned to appear before the court to answer the contempt charge.

Delivering his order on the motion on April 25, 2024, Justice Jamil said, "The applicant's application before me is to the effect that the Respondent has carried out some acts upon which they have been restrained by this Court on the 9th of February, 2024, pending the determination of the substantive motion on Notice before this Court.

"That the said act was carried out by the Respondent in violation of the order which was valid and subsisting when they carried out those acts. That same acts of the Respondent amounts to acts of contempt.

"That the Respondent should be summoned to appear before this Court to answer to the contempt charge.

"It's against the above facts that this Court hereby grants the prayers sought in line with the principle of "Audi Ultra Patem". To wit:

"An order of this Honourable Court for the issuance of Form 49 Notice to show cause why order of committal should not be made against the Executive Chairman of the Respondent - Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

"An order for service of Form 49-Notice to show why order of committal should not be made on the Executive Chairman of the Respondent - Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at EFCC Corporate Headquarters, Plot 301/302, Research and Institution District, Abuja.

"This matter is adjourned to the 13th of May, 2024 for the Respondent's Chairman to appear before this Court in answer to form 49 ordered to be served on him."

EFCC Boss, Olukoyede, To Face Criminal Trial For Conte

> President Bola Tinubu on Friday evening, arrived in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, to participate in the 2024 Special World Economic Forum, WEF, on Global Collaboration, Growth, and Energy for Development.

The President’s arrival marks the beginning of the second leg of his two-nation official visits, following his earlier engagements this week in the Hague, Netherlands.

The presidential spokesman, Chief Ajuri Ngelale, stated that over 1,000 leaders from business, government, and academia from more than 90 countries are expected to attend the high-profile forum in Riyadh.

He explained that the aim is to build on the success of last year’s inaugural Growth Summit held in Geneva, Switzerland.

The Riyadh meeting is expected to address pressing global challenges across three core themes: revitalizing global collaboration, fostering inclusive growth, and catalyzing action on energy for development.

The event serves as a platform to bridge the growing North-South divide exacerbated by emerging economic policies, the energy transition, and geopolitical shocks.

Tinubu and his entourage are expected to utilize the opportunity of the WEF gathering to engage in discussions furthering his “Renewed Hope Agenda” for Nigeria, according to Ajuri Ngelale, the main spokesman for the Nigerian president.

Tinubu Arrives Saudi Arabia After Netherlands Visit

When we Africans defeat those Europeans disguised as Jihadists, NATO and Israel will have no other choice but attack us, openly.
recently a French army general said Europeans should unite in a near futire to attack Africa and recolonize it.
That is why this war in Ukraine is the dawn of the War NATO is planning against Africa.
The issue is they can't do so without looking over their own shoulders if Russia is still a superpower capable 
of providing Africa with military aid . To thwart that possibility , NATO purposely provoked Russia through Ukraine to drag 
the Russians into a war.

> 
Retired Chief of Staff of the French Army General François Lecointre believes—given the recent wave of successful military coups in the Sahel, the ouster of Western militaries in the region, and the growing Russian and Chinese footprints—European militaries should unite and invade Africa to protect European interests. In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro on April 8, 2024, Lecointre asserted, “the Mediterranean Sea and Africa represent Europe’s common destiny.” As reported by APA news, Lecointre believes that since the United States will be preoccupied with Ukraine, Israel, and perhaps Taiwan in the foreseeable future, “Europe must become ‘capable of taking charge of its own destiny’ regarding military matters and the promotion of its values.” Lecointre argues that European militaries should act in Africa to address civil wars, climate change, rising populations, and what he perceives as an increase in failed states in Africa. Strongman of the Burkinabe military junta Captain Ibrahim Traoré responded to Lecointre’s controversial claims while visiting his troops by stating, “You must have heard in recent days, certain generals . . . have made it clear that if they have to come with their armies to recolonize us, they must come. . . . Either they will come themselves, or they will come by their local lackeys who are here to try to disturb our peace.” He exhorted his troops to “start preparing for high-intensity war. . . . It’s not just terrorism, keep your eyes peeled, it’s much more than that. This is a war of decolonization.” Traoré added, “terrorism will be defeated.”

President Bola Tinubu Arrived Saudi Arabia From Netherlands For WEF

The Catholic Archbishop of Kaduna, Most Rev. Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso has said that hardship, insecurity and other challenges in the country are pushing so many Nigerians into mental disorder.

Archbishop Ndagoso said this at the 2024 Annual General Assembly of Catholic Archdiocese of Kaduna with the theme; ‘Integrating Mental Health Into Pastoral Care in the Archdiocese of Kaduna’.

The respected cleric said the country has in the last 13 years been going through insurgency, banditry, kidnappings for ransom, farmers/herders conflicts, ethno-religious conflicts, armed robbery, alcohol and substance abuse.

He noted that of late, very high cost of living,l caused mainly by the unplanned and hasty removal of fuel subsidy and the free floating of the Naira which led to its unimaginable devaluation have brought unprecedented and untold hardship on the vast majority of the citizenry, thereby causing mental and physical illnesses.

“Many people have lost, not only their sources of livelihood but above all their homes and ancestral lands. Acute hunger leading to malnutrition and death especially of children are the order of the day in our country today. Many are at a loss. Depression, anxiety and fear of the unknown are on the increase in the land,” the cleric said.

He further blamed insecurity for the people’s mental health, noting that “security challenges seem to be still in the thick of the woods.”

He lamented that the spate of kidnappings for ransom is on the increase in some rural communities.

“We must continue to be vigilant and work together with all security agents especially the local vigilante groups.

“Communities must be ready now to take their destinies into their hands. Many have done it with good results. Like I said last year, the involvement of locals as informants within our communities has further compounded the problem. I believe there is something each community can do to protect itself,” the Archbishop charged.

Ndagoso therefore lamented on the increasing cases of mental health in the country, urging the government at all levels to urgently proffer solutions to the problem by addressing poverty and insecurity which he noted were responsible for mental health disorder in most homes.

He therefore urged religious leaders to continue to preach messages of hope to the people as a measure to help them see reasons to live.

Hardship, Insecurity Fueling Mental Illness In Nigeria – Archbishop

> By Idowu Isamotu

Members of the organised labour, on Friday, protested and shut down the headquarters of Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) over alleged cut of workers’ salaries in the agency by the management of the fund.

The aggrieved protesters, led by the President of Trade Union Congress (TUC), Festus Osifo and executive members of the Association of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions (ASSBIFE), started their demonstrations at about 11:00am.

Armed with placards with various inscriptions, the protesters alleged that the management led by Mrs Maureen Allagoa, the Managing Director of the Fund, had made deductions of consequential taxes from their salaries to the tune of N2.1bn which were not remitted.

Addressing the protesters, Osifo said the protest and subsequent shutdown of the Fund became imperative after efforts made by the leadership of ASSBIFE to resolve the issue amicably with the management failed.

The protesters urged President Bola Tinubu to sack the MD of the agency with immediate effect to avert “looming crises” in the Fund and called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to probe their claims.

Both the MD of the Fund, Mrs Allagoa and spokesman of the Fund, Mr Godson Nwachukwu could not be reached for comments at the time of filing this report.

> Representatives from the Benin Kingdom, paying a courtesy visit to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, have affirmed Ile-Ife as the ancestral home of the Benin people.

In a now-viral video capturing the exchange, one of the emissaries told the Ooni that despite any contrary narratives circulating online, their collective understanding has always recognised Ile-Ife as their ancestral homeland.

“We have always been told that Ife is our home,” the emissary said.

The remarks made by the emissary has sparked a reaction online.

The emissary continued, “I don’t care about the propaganda on the internet or whatever anybody is saying. “We know our history and as far as we are concerned, when I was coming here, I knew I was coming to meet my father so I was very comfortable.”

The purpose of the visit was to extend an invitation to the Ooni to attend the forthcoming Patriots Award event.

The origin of the Benin Kingdom has been a subject of ongoing discussion and debate. Ile-Ife is widely regarded as the ancestral home of the Yoruba people.

The Benin Kingdom, located in what is now modern-day Edo State, has been said to have historical connections to Ife. However, there have been historical debates and conflicting claims about the precise origins of the Benin people. Some accounts and historical narratives have suggested different origins for the Benin people. This has led to disagreements and tensions regarding their historical lineage, especially on the internet.

My rent has not expired when this landlord started asking me for money. I live alone as an orphan with no relative alive, so it was just me taking the threats back to back.

As at the time it got to two weeks late payment, he was already threatening to throw my things out if i dont pay in a week time.

The man is a police man and was very confident that he would call his people to throw my things outside and put someone else there by monday.

All my pleas fell on deaf ears.

What can i do in this situation

Ondo 2024 Guber Elections: Predictions And Analysis Part 1

Dear Nigerians, never has the need for a compassionate leader been more yearned for in Nigeria than now. In fact if we don't get such a leader to wrestle power from Tinubu Nigerians will be worse off than War torn Gaza.

Here are 3 Reasons why only GEJ can wrestle power from Tinubu in 2027.

1. He is a far more competent leader than Tinubu. Numbers they say don't lie, GEJ is far more better a leader than Tinubu. Nigeria and Nigerians enjoyed life better under GEJ, commodities were affordable, minimum wage was able to cater for basic families of four, PMS was more affordable, import and export florished, local content and local manufacturing was growing steadily l, Nigeria GDP was rebased and we became the largest economy in Africa till the broom waving witches halted this upward trajectory. Nigerians will choose GEJ 10 times over the pro poverty Tinubu.

2. GEJ will have only one Tenure to spend: As the pressure for power to rotate back to North after 2031 will become more intense a GEJ Presidency will mean that after 4 years of his leadership power will move back to North because GEJ can only do one Tenure.

3. PDP will be more United under GEJ: with GEJ, PDP will come together to work as one party because GEJ is a man of peace. He will use his experience to tackle the many issues bedeviling the party. GEJ has learnt many lessons due to past encounter at the highest level and trust that he will use that experience to the benefit of his party and Nigerians.

As it stand right now, his track record of visible economic prosperity will energise the polity and Nigeria will begin to prosper again.

Goodluck Jonathan Is PDP's Best Bet In 2027

Yahaya Bello: EFCC boss, Olukoyede, to face criminal trial for Contempt of Court, May 13

...summoned to show cause why he shouldn't be committed to prison 

A Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja has ordered the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, to appear in court on May 13, 2024, to show cause why an order of committal should not be made against him for allegedly disobeying court order.

Justice I. A. Jamil, delivering a ruling in Suit No: HCL/68M/2024 and Motion No: HCL/190M/2024, ordered that "the said act was carried out by the Respondent (EFCC) in violation of the order, which was valid and subsisting when they carried out the act.

Yahaya Bello: EFCC Boss, Olukoyede, To Face Criminal Trial For Contempt Of Court

But how is Peter Obi better than Yahaya Bello? Yahaya Bello allegedly used state funds to pay for his children's school fees. Peter Obi used state funds to invest in his own bank. Close to $35 million. Money that was earning interest for his bank, Fidelity Bank. Interest that was going into his pocket. That was why he refused to build even a single nursery school for eight years. If he built schools with the money, how would he make money from it in his bank? 

If I am lying, let Peter Obi sue me. I have all the facts. 

In terms of developmental projects, Yahaya Bello is better than Peter Obi. In terms of corruption and conflict of interest, none is better.

I doff my hat for Dave Umahi.

First class official he is. 

A proud symbol of Nigerian competence.

Third Mainland Bridge did not look as beautiful as this even when it was first commissioned in 1990.

One could be forgiven for thinking it was an expressway in Dubai or Tokyo looking at it now.

Wow! Third Mainland Bridge Looks AMAZING

President Tinubu Appoints Chief Executives Of Two Agencies

At Least 85 terrorists were killed in another series of clashes between the Islamic State of the West African Province, ISWAP, and Boko Haram in Borno State.

In a post on his X handle on Friday, Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert and security analyst in Lake Chad, said the nonstop intensified clashes of supremacy happened between April 24 and 25, 2024.

Makama added that the development has led to the dislodgement of the Boko Haram rival faction from several Islands previously seized from the ISWAP groups.

“Impeccable sources told Zagazola Makama, a Counter Insurgency Expert and Security Analyst in the Lake Chad region that shortly after the terrorists encounter in Kukawa axis, on April 24, 2024, ISWAP mobilized to reinforce its fighters stationed at Tumbum Allura, recaptured recently from JAS elements who desire to carry out reprisals to recover the island.

“The sources said ISWAP fighters were also moved from Sabon Tumbu and Kirta Wulgo towards Tumbum Allura, Daban Wanzam, Abuja Ruwa with over 30 boxes of suspected ammunition and weapons,” he wrote.

Makama also disclosed that clashes resumed when ISWAP launched another attack on Boko Haram at Tudun ShawakkiI, Tumbum Bakwarram, Mallam Basiru and Kwaleram killing several Boko Haram fighters.

“On April 25, ISWAP lunched another attack on the position of Boko Haram at Kandahar and Tumbum Ali Island in Marte LGA. The gunfight ensued from 1am to 5am Friday April 26, 2024,” he said.

The security expert explained that ISWAP subsequently gained upper hand against the Boko Haram killing over 70 of them and capturing several others alive with their weapons.

In his analysis, Makama suggested that the incessant, and ever worsening, clashes between ISWAP and Boko Haram has continued to provide ampler opportunities for government security forces to seize in order to exterminate the two rival groups and stamp out the terror scorching the Lake Chad Basin.

85 Terrorists Killed As Boko Haram, ISWAP Clash In Borno

He is helpless with Rivers matter, Governor fubara seemed to have taken the full control of leadership of the state.

The next agenda now , would be dealing with Wike's foot soldiers.

What are your thoughts on Wike scheming and Tinubu crafts and midnight consultations and exchanges of dollars and underground contracts to opposition's leadership

Tell us in the comments section, because while chatting with Nyesom earlier today, I frankly informed him that he should forget rivers, it's gone, the guy knew you will practically control him, so he had to free himself from your stronghold. You held him too tight, he had to flee.

I told him that , the Governor has great respect and admiration for you, but you destroyed them.

So, the president can't help you right now, he's busy fighting to stabilise the economy and then security and social welfare. And will be much better willing to work with a sitting Governor!

And then maintaining corruption fighting government and helping closed cases and not obvious sitting Governor!

Tell us, your thoughts are welcome 🤗😁

President Tinubu Could Help Nyesom Wike With The Control Of PDP, But.......

Naira can only increase in value against the dollar and if possible bring back the glory days if we do these things;

1. Sell our crude oil in Naira. This is the first thing that will strengthen Naira. And the government knows it. But western countries also know it but they are deliberately doing it to enslave and exploit us. And most of our leaders in government in charge of that sector don't care because they are gaining from the system.

2. Security. The budget for security is so huge but an average Nigeria is not secured. The only way to stop it is to make security officers in charge of that location or area responsible for every Nigeria that comes under attack by terrorists. For instance, we have DPO of police that is in charge of a particular area. First give him adequate tools and personnel to fight insecurity. If any crime happens in his jurisdiction and they are unable to arrest the perpetrators, he should be held responsible.

The same goes for the military personnel. Someone should take responsibility. The President himself should take responsibility above every other person. 

By the time the government start dismissing head of security outfits for non performance, most of them will sit up.

They should also fish out saboteurs in the system.

Insecurity is affecting both local and international businesses. Prices of food items are so high because of insecurity. 

If we take it seriously, our economy will bounce back and naira will appreciate.

To be continued.

Five Things That Will Consistently Strengthen Naira Against Dollar

> If I were a Governor of a state like Anambra, with a solid manufacturing base in Nnewi and a strong commercial centre in Onitsha, I would not use $30 million of state funds to build a brewery. Instead, I will use that money to improve the productivity of Anambra and increase Internally Generated Revenue, by building an Independent Power Project to provide uninterrupted power supply to Nnewi and Onitsha, rather than use it to promote drunkenness by establishing a beer brewery that eventually was loss-making. 

Please text-check me: Tinubu and Fashola initiated, started, completed and commissioned multiple Independent Power Projects in Lagos state, including the Alausa Independent Power Plant (10.4 Mw), the Akute Independent Power Plant (12.55Mw), the Lagos Island 1&2 Independent Power Plant (10Mw), the Mainland Independent Power Plant (8.8Mw), the Lekki Peninsula Integrated Power Project (6Mw), and the Island IPP located in Marina (10MW). 

These projects individually cost less than the $30 million wasted by Peter Obi on the beer brewery. 

Even the incumbent Governor, Jide Sanwoolu, commissioned an IPP, the Ikoyi Independent Power Project. 

You can imagine how much better the Innoson plant would have been in Nnewi with an IPP.

My challenge to Peter Obi and his Obidients is this: Name one Independent Power Project initiated, started, completed, and commissioned by Peter Obi in his eight-year tenure as Anambra Governor, which saw him receive over $1 billion federal allocation from the Federal Government. 

Because I know the capacity of Peter Obi and his Obidients for propaganda and gaslighting, an Independent Power Project is not a substation or transformer donated by the State Government to PHCN. An Independent Power Plant is a power station owned by the State Government and is not part of the National Integrated Power Project of the Federal Government.

Reno Criticizes Obi's $30 Million Brewery Instead Of IPP In Anambra

Embattled former governor of Kogi, Yahaya Bello, has debunked allegations surrounding the payment of school fees for his children from the state coffers.

Recall Chairman of the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), Mr Olanipekun Olukoyede, during a media briefing on Tuesday, April 23, 2024, alleged that Bello withdrew funds from the Kogi State Government account to pay his children’s school fees, just before leaving office.

Reacting, Yahaya in a statement titled “Payment for school fees: Setting the records straight” and signed Friday by Ohiare Michael, denied the allegations.

“While we reserve our rights to seek redress against the said defamatory statements, permit us to briefly state the following to set the records straight: “His Excellency, Yahaya Bello’s children have attended the American International School, Abuja well before he became Governor and he has paid fees for his children as and when due and without fail.

“His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello did not pay the sum of USD720,000 as alleged by the EFCC Chairman or USD840,000 as is being bandied about on the internet.

“The payment of the fees was not effected at about the time his Excellency was to leave office as claimed by Mr. Olukoyede but same commenced in 2021.

“Alhaji Yahaya Bello DID NOT pay the fees of his Children with monies from the Coffers of the Kogi State Government.

“When the EFCC approached the American International School Abuja (AISA) to illegally recover funds legitimately paid by Alhaji Yahaya Bello and other family members, a member of the family challenged the EFCC’s unlawful acts to recover funds legitimately paid. The FCT High Court, in Suit No.

“FCT/HC/2574/2023 between: Mr. Ali Bello v. The Incorporated Trustees of American International School, Abuja, held that AISA could not lawfully and unilaterally refund to a third party, including the EFCC, fees paid by the parties to the suit.

“The Court subsequently mandated AISA to continue to provide the services it had been paid with respect to the fees.

“From the foregoing, it is clear that no money belonging to Alhaji Yahaya Bello or his family members with regard to school fees has been recovered by the EFCC.

“Now, let it be known that, contrary to misleading narratives by the EFCC, all the documents published online i.e. receipts and letters, that the EFCC has released online, in furtherance of its unrelenting persecution of the former Governor, are documents filed by lawyers in the suit instituted on behalf of Alhaji Yahaya Bello and others who paid fees for their wards under the Advance Fee Payment Agreement with AISA. Those documents, having been filed by his lawyers, are thus public documents, which show that His Excellency, Yahaya Bello, has nothing to hide with regard to the payment of advance fees for his children. This unending harassment and persecution, even while in office, were among key reasons he sought to enforce his fundamental human rights.

“We state that the payment of these fees and the legitimacy thereof is the subject matter of Charge No. FHC/CR/573/2022, filed by the EFCC since 15th December 2022 at the Federal High Court, Abuja. The Charge is pending and the Court has yet to make any finding or convicted anyone in respect of the said sum,” the statement partly read

Former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has commended Reno Omokri in his recent exposure of Peter Obi, saying….

“@PeterObi is the biggest scammer in the history of Nigerian politics. 8 years as Governor & you did not build one school or creche?” Fani-Kayode wrote.

“Instead you built a beer parlour. You say you did not build any schools because there was no mention of schools in your manifesto but was beer parlour mentioned in it?

“What type of creature are you? I commend @renoomokri for exposing you for what you are: the biggest fraud and Gbaju-merchant in the history of Nigeria. To think that 6 million people voted for you makes me shudder.”
