OONI DISPLAYS 'SUPERIOR MATURITY' OVER HIS GRUMPY COLLEAGUE !!!

Ooni of Ife Has Forgiven Oba of Lagos, says Ife Monarch

The Laroka of Wanikin-Ife, Oba Kole Ojutalayo has said the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi [Ojaja II], has forgiven the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, who allegedly snubbed him at a public function in Lagos last Tuesday.

Oba Ojutalayo, who is the Chairman of ‘40 New Dawn Oba’ in Ile Ife, said Oba Akiolu would be given a warm embrace anytime he visited the Ooni in his palace.

Speaking in an interview with Punch in Osogbo on Friday, Oba Ojutalayo said Ooni is interested in the success of his unity project than any battle of supremacy, adding that Ogunwusi would not stop respecting Akiolu in spite of the incident.

He said, “There has been so much said about what happened between Oba Akiolu and our father, the Ooni of Ife. We must look at it from the standpoint of the Ooni, who is holding in his hand the mantle of peace and in word and deed, he remains a man of peace. I am sure in his heart, he has already forgiven Oba Akiolu.

“This is another history and it is always in the making, but there is nothing sweeter than having peace and at the end of the day, when the Oba of Lagos comes to Ife, it will be with warm embrace from the magnanimous heart of the Ooni.”

He advised monarchs to refrain from acts that could show them in a bad light, especially in public.

TRUMPO-POOPOO !!!

Trump Says First 100 Days Were A Success

President Trump dismissed the idea that he hasn't had legislative success in his first 100 days in office, claiming 28 bills have been passed.

Despite noted setbacks, including his failure to replace Obamacare, the President said he doesn't think 'anybody' has accomplished what his administration has in 100 days, while simultaneously calling the milestone a 'false standard.'

Although there has been no major legislation passed, Trump told Fox News's Martha MacCallum in an exclusive interview: 'First of all, we had 28 bills.'

The 28 laws, which don't include the myriad executive orders he has signed, include two that name Veterans Affairs clinics in honor of people, 13 that repeal Obama-era rules and five related to personnel matters, including a waiver that allowed James Mattis to become Defense Secretary.

During the interview, President Trump touted bonding with Chinese President Xi Jinping to help with North Korea, saying he hopes he can 'pull it off' when it comes to reigning in Kim Jong Un, who test-launched another ballistic missile, which reportedly broke up mid-flight and failed.

Trump also said he was proud of the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court saying, 'I think he’ll be a great one.'

As for the failed replacement for ObamaCare, he still claims the healthcare marketplace is over.

ObamaCare is exploding. ObamaCare is dead - essentially, ObamaCare is dead, it's not going to make it,' he said.

He said he was 'disappointed' that Republicans didn't have a better plan in place.

'I was disappointed that they didn't have more in line by the time I walked in,' he said. As for a replacement, he said 'I believe they're going to get it done,' and predicted it could happen as early as next week.

As for his tax cut plan, he said that most of it would benefit small business and 'the biggest of all beneficiaries are middle-income people who have really been hurt.'

Most tax experts have said the plan will mostly benefit the richest Americans.

'The only Americans who are very clear winners under the new system are the wealthiest,' Edward D, Kleinbard, a law professor at the University of Southern California and former chief of staff of Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation, which estimates the revenue effects of tax proposals, told the New York Times.

Trump said in his first 100 days, he has 'created great foundations in terms of relationships with China and with Japan and with many, many other countries.'

RUSSIANS ARE FED UP WITH PUTIN !!!

We Are Sick Of You, Russian Protesters Tell Putin

Hundreds of Russian opposition supporters turned out Saturday to protest against President Vladimir Putin’s expected candidacy in elections set for 2018, with police detaining dozens of activists in the second-largest city of Saint Petersburg.

Protests in several cities were called by the Open Russia movement founded by arch-Putin foe and former oil magnate Mikhail Khodorkovsky.

They were held under the slogan “We’re sick of him” — referring to Putin.

About 30 to 50 protesters were hauled away by riot police in a crackdown in Saint Petersburg after around 200 people gathered for an unauthorised demonstration, an AFP journalist witnessed.

Open Russia put the figure of detentions at about 50 people, while OVD-Info, which monitors detentions of political activists, said more than 125 were detained. Police have not yet issued numbers.

“Putin is an usurper. He has to finally go. We’re sick of him,” said one of the protesters, 35-year-old Anton Danilov.

“Everything is bad. Education, health — everything has been destroyed. I want changes,” said Galina Abramova, 57.

A similarly sized protest in Moscow remained peaceful as activists gathered at the offices of Putin’s administration and handed in petitions against his expected candidacy in 2018.

“I don’t want Putin to stand in the next elections,” said Anna Bazarova, a 16-year-old student queuing up to hand in her petition.

“Our main problem is that we can’t change those in power,” she said.

She added that many of her friends had opted not to attend, fearing detention by the police.

Riot police stood guard as officers used loudspeakers to warn protesters: “Citizens, your action has not been agreed by the authorities.”

One of the organisers, Yakov Yermakov, handed out forms for people to fill out with complaints to Putin.

“Our president has already been in power 17 years. We think that’s too long. Our country isn’t developing,” he said.

The protests came after opposition leader Alexei Navalny organised the largest unauthorised rally of recent years in Moscow on March 26. Police detained around 1,000 people, including Navalny.

Navalny has announced his plan to stand for president in 2018 and has galvanised the splintered opposition movement with a powerful online campaign including videos exposing corrupt officials. He has called for another protest on June 12.

The main figurehead of Saturday’s protests, Khodorkovsky, remains a highly controversial figure in Russia. The former oligarch and founder of the Yukos oil company spent a decade in prison and now lives in Britain.

His Open Russia movement has been targeted by the authorities recently with police raiding its Moscow offices this week.

Why I’m Yet To Get Married – Actress Rita Dominic

Nollywood actress Rita Dominic has revealed why she's still single. Speaking with Schick mag, she said that she could have been married a long time ago, but things didn’t work out.

The multiple award-winning actress is, however, hopeful that God will present the right man to her at the right time. She said, “I believe that God is in charge of my life and will present the right man to me at the right time.”

Asked whether social pressure don’t get to her, Rita replied, “I am a human being and I would be lying to say that it doesn’t sometimes.

“More so because it’s something I sincerely want to do but the feeling passes when I remember that society will not live with the person.

“I will live with the man, so it is very important that I do it because I want to, not because society wants it for me.”

At her age, over 40, she described dating, as a nightmare, “especially in these days of social media where with one click you are all over the internet.

“I do date when someone special comes around. I love being totally drawn to someone and doing all those loving things couples do, but I am also wary of liars and bullies.‎”

JONA-DUMB NOT MAKING SENSE !!!

Presidency Replies Goodluck Jonathan

The Presidency has dismissed claims by Goodluck Jonathan that President Muhammadu Buhari was harassing his family.

Recall that ex-President Jonathan, in a book authored by the chairman of ThisDay Editorial Board, Olusegun Adeniyi entitled “Against The Run of Play” claimed that Buhari was using the security agencies to harass his family.

He also disagreed with the approach of the Buhari’s administration in fighting corruption.

Reacting, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, insisted that
Buhari was not harassing anybody but that he “merely allows the law to take its course.”

Adesina said the former President need not be afraid if he has “no skeleton in his cupboard.”

In a statement released on Wednesday, Adesina said, “The Presidency is constrained to respond to the banner headline story in a national newspaper of Wednesday, April 26, entitled: BUHARI’S GOVT HARASSING MY FAMILY, SAYS JONATHAN.

“The paper said former President Goodluck Jonathan made the allegation in a new book, “Against The Run of Play”, written by the Chairman of ThisDay Editorial Board, Mr. Olusegun Adeniyi.

“We make bold to state unequivocally that President Buhari harasses nobody; he merely allows the law to take its course.

“For the umpteenth time, we say that anybody without skeleton in his or her cupboard, has nothing to fear about the bared fangs of the anti-corruption initiative. Fear belongs only to those who have abused trust while in office.

“Anybody who feels aggrieved is free to approach the courts to seek redress or justice. President Buhari believes in the rule of law and that is why his campaign against corruption is anchored on that plank.”

Stressing that Buhari is “single-minded” in the fight against corruption, he noted that the President is not targeting anyone.

He noted that with time the dividends of the current anti-graft war will be visible to all even as the current huge cash so far discovered by anti-graft agency has shown that the fight is on course.

BIAFRA'S SUPPORTERS WARN JOE IGBOKWE !!!

Joe Igbokwe To Be Banished From Igboland Over Comment Against Biafra?

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Lagos has said it may be forced to banish Joe Igbokwe, the Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos state from setting his foot in Igboland following his incessant anti-Biafra comments.

The group was reacting to the statement credited to Igbokwe where he urged Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of IPOB to quietly go home after securing his bail condition and stop what he calls “the hopeless agitation for the realisation of Biafra”.

According to Igbokwe "Now that he has been granted bail, he should just quietly go home and rest. We are not a candidate of Biafra. They are just dissipating their energy for nothing. I just hope he will just go home quietly and stop disturbing the peace of the country.

“We are not for Biafra. We can’t build Nigeria for others. The so-called Biafra is too small for us. Nigeria provides a big stage for us. We own this country. We are a major ethnic group in this country. How can you go for a small pond when you have Atlantic Ocean?”

“So Nnamdi Kanu should go home quietly. He should stop his reckless and stupid agitation. The agitation has no political or economic sense. It is a hopeless agitation that we are not interested in. They are just using it to make money from gullible ones. It is a collection of illiterates” he said.

Reacting, a frontline member of IPOB, Kanayo Nwogwugwu in a chat with INDEPENDENT said the group and the entire Igbo race had had enough of Igbokwe’s “thoughtless and reckless statement aimed at pleasing his paymasters in the Southwest”.

While commending Igbos who have shown solidarity with Kanu since the news of his bail, he said Igbokwe lied when he said the entire Igbo race are not interested in the Biafra project.

“The likes of Igbokwe should bury his head in shame for describing the Biafra project as hopeless and IPOB supporters as collection of illiterates. He should watch the television and read the dailies to see how prominent Igbo leaders, including children are celebrating his bail”.

“ If he doesn’t rein in his caustic tongue, we may be forced to restrict him to his new found land and banish him from setting foot his foot again in Igboland” he said.

ABSENTEE PRESIDENCY: BUHARI CANNOT WORK FROM HOME !!!

Nigerians Didn’t Elect A Work-at-Home President – Buhari's Former Aide Odumakin

Yinka Odumakin, the National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere on Wednesday said Nigerians didn’t elect President Muhammadu Buhari to work at home.

He was reacting to a statement by the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed who told reporters that the President needed some rest and has asked that all the files on his table be brought to him at his official residence at the Presidential Villa, Abuja for treatment.

Odumakin, a former aide of Buhari, said if the president’s situation has gotten to a level where he will be working from home, it shows something is wrong which Nigerians are not told.

“We elected a president who will work from office not from home. If it gets to a situation where he will be working from home, then the interest of the country requires taking a hard look at the situation and taking the right decision. It shows something is wrong somewhere”.

Stop Developing Abuja, Kano, Lagos – Okorocha tells Igbos

Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has called on his Ndigbo kinsmen to stop wasting resources in developing other land. He asked them to return to the East and set up their businesses instead of helping other states like Lagos, Kano to grow.

Okorocha stated this while commissioning a hotel in Arondiziogu in Ideato council area of the state on Tuesday.

He said, “I commend the proprietor of this hotel for coming home to invest. He could have built this hotel in Abuja or other places knowing too well that he could have made more profit, but he chose to think home. Let’s all come home, develop our area and create jobs for our people.”

The governor further directed the ministry of Works to assess the cost of drainage and asphalting the road leading to the area.

According to him, “We don’t have to tell anybody to invest at home; anyone who has ear, let him hear. Why do we have to develop Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Port Harcourt and other places? We should always think home.”

CHILDISH ROYAL RIVALRY !!!

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has said he will not stop being respectful to the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, regardless of what may have happened at a social function they both attended recently. According to him, he wasn't bothered by Oba Akiolu’s action or inaction and still holds him in high esteem.
Adding that he is committed to ensuring unity among traditional rulers in the land. Oba Ogunwusi made this known through the Director of Media and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace on Wednesday. Oba Ogunwusi said:

“Nobody should castigate anybody” for doing what he did because of the position he holds and because of his age… Ooni would not stop to accord his colleagues and every category of people the respect they deserve.

The Ooni of Ife is not ready to make any official statement over what happened between him and the Oba of Lagos. He still holds Oba Akiolu in high esteem and what happened yesterday will not stop the Ooni from holding him in high esteem”

Kogi State governor, Yahaya Bello, in a swift reaction to the allegation by Senator Dino Melaye that he was planning to assassinate him, said he did not believe that Dino would “make such a sweeping statement on security matters.”
