Zainab Lawani Exposes “Dirty Secrets” Of Ooni Of Ife’s New Queen, Via An Open Letter

We would have ignored this story, but because it affects the most respected Yoruba monarch, I believe it’s wise I bring it here so Ooni Ogunwusi and his people can investigate the dirty details before they go pay her bride price, just to be sure it’s not an “elebolo” that is coming into the palace.

The lady who’s making the revelations about Wuraola’s “dirty lifestyles” is well known to her, so if all her claims her found to be false, after proper investigation, actions could be taken against her.

Is it true that Wuraola, who the Ooni of Ife is about to marry, had twins for a former governor? Was the s*x mate of a former Senate leader? Ran away after her legal husband went broke? See details…

Friend Exposes Sonia Itohan Wuraola Otiti’s Dirty Secrets
Open Letter To Ooni Of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi’s New Queen, Itohan Sonia Wuraola Otiti & Adopted Sister Jennifer Obayuwana

It’s amazing how Jennifer is suddenly flaunting Sonia as her sister. Why haven’t you ever shown her as your sister all these years? You waited till the accounted Olori title came.

Jen you and your father are just users willing to identify with anyone you can extort money from to buy your outrageous…. Sonia is your sister, where were you guys when she was roaming all over Abuja? When she hits a big maga you identify with her to get him to buy your watches and luxury.

Sonia remember that if anything happens to this your marriage to Ooni that is the end of you. Gone are the days when you can come out and find another person.

You are also too possessive and destructive to share your man with another woman. In fact nothing drives you nuts than your man having other women. You are destructively possessive.
Will you now be breaking things in Ife palace when you see him with women? Will you now be driving any woman that comes near him in your usual way?

You married Elie Khouri legally at AMAC (Abuja Registry). Until December you were still married. Is the Ooni marrying another mans wife?

Abi Ifa and Ife Chiefs no dey check the hands of who dey enter their palace again?

You lie so much and claim so much. You remember your days with your friend Fati after Saminu (former Governor of Jigawa) dumped you disgracefully and Hajiya at coomassie crescent who was also your love-vendor?

Try and pay all the people you owe cos you are a No1 debtor.

You married Elie to spite Abacha family. Now you are marrying Oba to spite Elie.

His whole family went against him marrying you. You gave his mother so much hell. Talking down at her and disrespecting her your normal way of behavior. You sucked Elie dry all his little expatriate change you took it sent him into debt and you ran away. You were still sleeping around while married to Elie to fund your lifestyle.

You think God is sleeping? Your story will come to light as it has always done.
Correct your ways. Your quest for money, fame and power: this is your last bus top. You don enter one chance bus wey you no go fit comot…

Are you still going to hold this marriage ceremony in John Obayuwanas house as your father’s house? Because Na him house you dey always use shine.

Since you are so ashamed of your father’s Benins flat (block of flat apartment) I am surprised you never used sense to build him a befitting house to cover up.

You owed at Maitama shopping complex moved to Garki still owed. You can’t pay rent.

Are you now back to Christianity? Cos you were born Christian changed to Islam bearing Zainab for Hausa men. Now you are marrying a Christian abi Ifa’ist are you now Chrisfa or Christian or Muslim?

From Itohan at Benin to Sonia to Zainab to Wuraola, Iya clap for yourself. You’re the queen of rebranding.

– [Zainab Lawani writes from Abuja]

*Another Twist To The Story…
Sonia (now Wuraola Otiti) was previously married to former Jigawa Governor Saminu Turaki. The marriage packed up due to a scandal involving her twin pregnancy because Turaki was battling impotency at that time. The marriage ended after the twins died at birth.

Sonia now Wuraola who was a UNIBEN dropout reportedly dated former Deputy Senate Majority leader, Abdul Ningi. Their affair crashed over allegations of infidelity.

Wuraola is still legally married to a Lebanase billionaire named Eli Khoury. Eli was the third man.

Wura who is in her early 30s met Eli and relocated to Dubai in 2015.. As at mid last year, she still flaunts him on social media as her husband. She has since deleted all her social media accounts.

Why did the Ooni got entangled with this highly controversial lady?

– Sincerely, I don’t have anything to say on this because ladies of these days their way no dey pure. I think it’s up to Ooni Ogunwusi and his people to decide to investigate or marry her like that. Simple!

NNPC Unbundling: PENGASSAN, NUPENG Call Off Strike

Oil unions workers under the umbrella of NUPENG and PENGASSAN have reportedly called off their one-day-old strike after meeting with the junior Minister of Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu.

The unions had embarked on strike following the misinterpretation of the unbundling of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

After meeting with Kachikwu, the unions decided to sheath their swords and get back to work.

Kachikwu assured them that there was no unbundling of NNPC, stressing that, what was happening was a restructuring.

Oil workers feared that many of them would be sacked if NNPC was unbundled and they immediately resorted to a strike, but they have been reassured that their jobs are safe at least for now.

“We have not unbundled NNPC. We had a press conference yesterday where I explained this,” Kachikwu said.

“What we have simply done is a reorganization. We have five business entities focused on business- Upstream, Downstream, Refineries, Gas, and Power, that are there before.

“There is also ventures that capture all our little companies that were not having proper stewardship.

“They are run by individuals who report to the GMD. The NNPC is still a whole. There is nothing new that has happened.

“I have tried to explain this, and I am sure the NNPC workers are members of the family, they will understand.
“We are going to have a meeting, and they will be made to understand. Perhaps the engagement has not been good enough.
“NNPC has not been unbundled in the sense of breaking up NNPC into distinct institutions. I am concerned.
“I don’t want the industry shut down. I am sure we are going to resolve the issues very soon,” he further explained.

DSS Invasion: I Won't Stop Criticizing FG Over Bad Policies - Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, on Wednesday said ‎he would not stop criticizing the Federal Government over its bad policies despite the recent clamp down on state officials by men of the Department of State Security (DSS).

The governor, who arrived the state from Abuja where he had been since Sunday to attend PDP meeting, said no policy of the FG that is inimical to the welfare of the people would be spared by his comments.‎

According to a press statement issued by the Governor's Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, Fayose who was reacting to the development for the first time since DSS officials invaded the House
of Assembly Complex, Ado-Ekiti and whisked four lawmakers away said he remained resolute in his determination to criticise obnoxious policies of the president in the interest of Nigeria and our democracy.

The Commissioner for Finance, Chief Toyin Ojo, was also arrested by DSS officers but was released late Tuesday night.

"The Bible says people with God are in majority.‎ This is not the first time people will harass me. It is a conspiracy and it will collapse like other attempts before it. I will remain critical of the
activities of the Federal Government, especially when they do things that are inimical to the welfare of Nigerians.

"Imagine the questions they asked my Commissioner for Finance, they asked him if the Federal Government has reimbursed the state government on works done on federal roads. But the records are with them in Abuja, can't they check?‎ We have nothing to‎ hide and they are only chasing shadows and are time wasters.

"Telling the Federal Government that the economy is in trouble and that the President should stay at home to face governance is not a crime and is part of my rights‎ as a citizen of this country. I am
like a tree planted by the bank of a river that brings forth its fruits in due season," he said.

Answering question on the allegation that some people offered some lawmakers $1 million to impeach him, the governor expressed implicit confidence in the lawmakers.

"I am just coming from Abuja and I know that our ‎lawmakers are solid guys and their future and mine are tied together. When the APC was at its peak in the state and they wanted to use 19 lawmakers to impeach me, they failed woefully and they will still fail again.  This is a
storm in a tea cup. They are not just starting I defeated them in all courts in the land.  I won't deter from saying the truth about the FG.

“We are in the morning we have not seen what the night is going to be. If it is me that brought myself here they will succeed, but if it is God, they will have to first overcome God before overcoming me," the governor noted.

An Armed Robber Explains How They Monitor And Rob Bank Customers With Huge Withdrawals

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP, Fatai Owoseni, on Tuesday paraded a suspect, one Tunde Adewale, believed to be part of a five-man robbery gang who laid ambush for bank customers in different areas within the metropolis.

The CP added that the gang usually robbed their victims at gunpoint.
He said, “The suspect was arrested while attempting to rob another victim at Iyana-Ipaja area. When the gang members sighted a police patrol team, they took to their heels.

“Luck ran out on Adewale when he was arrested,” the CP stated.
The 23-year-old suspect confessed to the crime; he told detectives attached to the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad, FSARS, Lagos State how he and his gang members trailed and robbed customers moments after they leave banking halls.

According to Adewale, a gang member would go into the banking hall, pretending to be a customer.
“After the person had spied on those withdrawing huge amounts of money, he would come out and inform us. Two of us would sit on a motorcycle, waiting for the person to come out.
“Immediately we sight the victim, we start operation.
“My role is to point gun at a victim and collect his money. After that, we would zoom off.

“I was a tricycle rider before, but the profit from that business wasn’t enough and I needed money to discharge my wife from the hospital, who had just given birth.
“This was why I went to my friend, Sunday, to assist me with a loan. He didn’t give the money. He promised to introduce me to a job that would fetch me plenty of money.
“That was how I joined robbery in January last year and went for my first operation at Jakande Estate.We robbed a lady coming out of a bank. We robbed her of N200, 000. I got N50, 000 as my share.My wife was later discharged from the hospital by her family members. I had no option than to continue with the gang. I was making money from the operations.”

The suspect said he had participated in five operations.

According to him, he made N200, 000 in his second operation and N300, 000 in the third; he later used part of his loot to buy a Honda car.

Owoseni urged that suspicious persons should be reported immediately to the police and warned customers in banking halls to be mindful of people they talk with.

At Last.....Gen.Yakubu Gowon Accepts 48 Year Old Jack Musa Gowon As His Son After DNA Test Confirms He's The Biological Father

The 48 year legal tussle over the paternity of Jack Musa Gowon, the love child of former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, has ended with Gowon accepting that he is Musa’s father after a DNA test confirmed this.

Musa who recently returned to Nigeria after spending 20 years in an American prison, is the love child born from a secret affair Gowon had with late Edith Ike-Okongwu.

 In a statement he personally signed and released yesterday March 9th, General Gowon said,
“Following years of doubts and speculation, a DNA test was recently conducted to ascertain the paternity of Musa Gowon who recently returned to the country. The results of the tests were conclusive and they confirm his paternity. We, the family, are working to assist in his rehabilitation following a very difficult period in his life. As we look forward to the future with faith in God, we request that our privacy be respected. Thank you"
Musa and his late mother have been in a long legal battle with Gowon who refused to accept him as his son. He was born to Miss Edith Ike during the Nigeria Civil War in 1968, when Gowon was Head of the Federal Military Government and Commander-in-Chief of the federal forces.

Edith who later remarried, died of cancer several years ago.

He said this while speaking with State House Correspondence after the Federal Executive Council meeting today March 9th.

Why We Opposed the Unbundling Of NNPC' - Oil Workers Say

NNPC workers who started a national wide strike this morning over the unbundling of the national oil corporation, say they opposed the new policy because the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, did not consult with all parties involved before announcing the unbundling.

 In an interview with Premium times, the Acting General Secretary of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, Lumumba Okugbawa, said PENGASSAN, and the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, will not accept the unilateral restructuring
“We do not accept any unilateral and arbitrary restructuring. The minister cannot restructure NNPC without carrying all stakeholders along. The minister cannot run the industry as a private estate. He must carry all Nigerians along. With such a massive decision-making, a lot of things would be affected, particularly its implication on workers interest. We are unaware of what is happening. It is not fair that the workers are hearing about the restructuring in the media just like every other person. He is just creating unnecessary confusion in the polity. If the minister says he wants to restructure NNPC, has he repealed or amended the NNPC Act of 1977? What happens to the PIB (Petroleum Industry Bill), which has NNPC restructuring as one of its key objectives? Has it been jettisoned, or is there a new PIB? These are fundamental questions that the minister has to answer"he said

Ronke Oshodi-Oke Replies Fans Who Bashed Her For Wrong Spelling In Her Birthday Wishes To Her Son On Instagram

Nigerian Man With 13 Different Fradulent Identity Passport Of Him Arrested in the U.S.

A Nigerian man, Uchenna Azubuike has been charged with 13 counts of identity fraud and held at the Thomas County Jail, Georgia. Immigration personnel have interviewed the suspect and officials with the Diplomatic Division of the U.S. attorney’s office at Macon will interview Azubuike here in mid-March.

Azubuike, 29, of 1000 Barone Ave., Atlanta was arrested after allegedly attempting to purchase two cell phones from a Vericon store using a fake passport of a woman in New York.

Employees at the Thomasville Verizon store, 13915 U.S. 19 South, became suspicious when someone using a New Jersey woman’s identification purchased phones in late February. Personnel contacted the woman and learned she had never been in Thomasville.

Verizon employees were on high alert when a man — later identified as Azubuike — entered the business two days later and purchased two iPhones valued at a total of $1,700. Police were notified.

The suspect, who had filled out paperwork, was waiting for completion of the phone transaction when police arrived. As soon as Azubuike saw police, he got in his vehicle, a 2010 Infiniti, and attempted to leave, said police detective Scott Newberry.

Azubuike refused to identity himself and was taken into custody. He was transported to the jail, where his identity was learned through fingerprints.

"He was using a fake passport of an individual from New York, New York, and was attempting to buy cell phones on the New York person’s Verizon account," Newberry explained. "On him, we found the passport he was using. We learned his identity was a different name."
The Infiniti was seized and searched at the Jail-Justice Center impound yard. Officers found 12 more passports and additional documents related to identification fraud in the car.

"They were different names and dates of birth, but his photo was on all of them," said Capt. Maurice Holmes, commander of the Thomasville Police Department Criminal Investigations Division.

Also found in the vehicle were two iPhones purchased by Azubuike using another identification at a Valdosta Verizon store. An iPad purchased in Atlanta used yet another identification. An alert issued by Thomasville Police Department reached the federal level, including the Eastern Seaboard and the Midwest.

"The feds have decided they want to adopt this case and take the case over." Detective Newberry said.

The suspect will remain incarcerated in Thomasville until he is indicted by a federal grand jury. He will then be transported a federal facility.

"He’s of Nigerian descent," Holmes added, pointing out a “long history” of fraudulent activity with a Nigerian connection.

The CID commander said that in his decades-long career in law enforcement, he has never seen an identity fraud case of this magnitude.

"When he uses an identification, he gets rid of it," Newberry said.

Azubuike is believed to have bought cell phones from Kansas to North Carolina using fraudulent identifications. Officers said the suspect fraudulently obtained cell phones from Verizon and AT&T and had data transferred from phone to phone. It is believed some phones were being shipped overseas, where new service was obtained, and the phones were sold.

"There’s also a terrorist connection that could be involved with these phones. That’s why the feds are interested in it," Holmes explained.

Police Chief Troy Rich said the Thomasville Verizon store staff is an important aspect of the case in that employees were able to stop the transaction and notify police.
