REVEALED: Governor Chime's Wife Clara Is Mentally Unstable

What we usually see in
Nollywood movies where a man
will be very wealthy and in
position of authority but his wife
or first son will be battling with a
"serious" challenge, is what is
playing out in Enugu State. Sad!
Following several reports in the
social media that Governor
Sullivan Chime of Enugu State
was holding Clara, his wife in
solitary confinement,c observed that
some persons close to the wife
contacted Femi Falana, a popular
human rights activist, to help
rescue the woman.
But in a bid to stop Falana,
Governor Chime has opened up
on his wife's true condition...
He said it is not his will to
subject his wife to such
condition and that whatever is
been done to her is for her own
good and was put in place by
professionals to save her from
"shame and ridicule".
Speaking to selected journalists
on Tuesday night in the
presence of some family
members and his wife, who is
said to be mentally unstable,
Governor Chime said Femi
Falana should not allow people
to push him into taking any
action against him as he is only
trying to help his wife's
situation.
In the words of Govenor Chime:
“Well, my wife has some
medical challenges , and it
would be very unkind for
me to talk about her
condition on the pages of
newspapers. I have done
everything to protect her
integrity and I’m not now
going to expose her to
ridicule because some
people want to exploit her
situation to drag me into a
needless war of words.”
Ascotec gathered that
his wife, Clara, sat calmly
throughout the session with the
journalists but it was not too
difficult to notice some signs in
her disposition from time to
time.
The wife's psychiatric doctor, Dr.
Aham Agumuo, was also present
at the session. We pray she gets
well!

EKITI 2014: Reference Anambra 2013

Since the creation of the new

Anambra state in 1991, it's only

Anambra North Senatorial district

that has never produced a

Governor of the state likewise

the Ekiti South Senatorial district

since 1996 when the state was

created.

Anambra North is likely to

produce the governor of the

state in November 16, 2013,

because it has the highest

voting strength compare with

other two senatorial districts.

The two major political parties

zoned their candidates to

Anambra North.

Chief Willie Maduabuchi Obiano

is APGA flag bearer, from the oil-

bearing Aguleri in Anambra

North Senatorial District while Dr

Tony Okechukwu Nwoye is the

standard bearer of the PDP, he

is from Offiantta Village, Nsugbe

in Anambra East Local

Government, Anambra North

Senatorial District.

Out of Nine(9) elected Governors

produced in the state. Two of

the elected Governors were old

Anambra state "Enugu

state" (Chief Jim Nwobodo and

Chief Christian Onoh) other

elected Governors are:

Dr Chukuwuemeka Ezeife

(Anambra south)

Dr Chinwoke Mbadinugu

(Anambra south)

Senator Chris Ngige ( Anambra

Central)

Peter Obi ( Anambra Central)

Verginia Etiaba( Anambra South)

Andy Uba ( Anambra South)

Peter Obi ( Anambra Central)

Likewise in Ekiti State, it was

only Ekiti South Senatorial

District that has never produced

a governor of the state since the

return of democracy in the

country 1999. Out of the Four

elected Governors produced in

the state,Ekiti Central and North

Senatorial Districts had

produced two Governors

each,they are:

Otunba Niyi Adebayo (Iyin Ekiti)

Ekiti Central

Dr Ayo Fayose (Afao Ekiti) Ekiti

Central

Engr Segun Oni (Ifaki Ekiti) Ekiti

North

Dr Kayode Fayemi (Isan Ekiti)

Ekiti North.

Party politics and zoning are

very important elements of any

liberal with a wave of hand in

primordial state like Ekiti State.

Power shift or zoning as the

case maybe is the only way

forward for our amiable state

because of our different

senatorial districts.

All Progressive Congress (APC)

had shifted their Governorship

race to the Ekiti North/Central

Senatorial District where the

zone have produced two

governors each. The ideology of

APC is different from other

parties in Nigeria (Ondo and

Anambra States as a case

Study). I think the Peoples

Democratic Party (PDP) will shift

the Governorship position to the

South Senatorial District,the

largest Local Government Area

and which has never produced a

governor since the creation of

the state.

Infact, it is clear in PDP

constitution that there is zoning

and rotation everywhere,Right

from National level through the

various states to Local

Government areas and electoral

wards arrangement across the

country. I refer to the PDP

constitution, Article 7 subsection

2(c) which states that in

pursuance of the principle of

Equity, Justice and Fairness, the

party shall adhere to the policy

of rotation and zoning of the

party and public offices and it

shall be enforced by the

appropriate executive committee

at all levels. (PDP

constitution,1999).

Ekiti people especially PDP SWC

and PDP NWC,should promote

peace and stability, fairness and

equity. we need to focus on

Governorship aspirants that

come from Ekiti South Senatorial

district such as His Excellencies

Adebisi Omoyeni,Abiodun Aluko

other are Senator Gbenga

Aluko,Prince Dayo Adeyeye ,Amb

Dare Bejide, Pham Bimbo

Owolabi, Rt (Hon) Femi Bamisile,

Senator Bode Olowoporoku, Dr

Kunle Folayan, Hon Ropo

Ogunbodunde, Mr Babatunde

Larin-Alabi and Mr Mayowa

Aluko.

Many would argue that many of

the above listed aspirants are

'no name' people ,but they forgot

that prior to the 1999 election,

how many people have heard the

name of Otunba Niyi Adebayo

who later became Governor? Let

us assume that Adebayo is not

good example judging from the

below Average rate his

administration achieved, how

about his successors? How

many people had heard about Mr

Ayo Fayose prior to the 2003

election? Even Five months to

the election, did many ever

heard of him? Did many gave

him a chance of making any

difference? How many people

heard about Engr Segun Oni?

How about Gov Kayode Fayemi?

Did many so-called pundits ever

heard of Fayemi prior to 2007

election?

I understand that at the end of

the day, it is the people of Ekiti

that will decide who will be their

next Governor but we should not

forget the fact that in the interest

of Equity, Justice and Fairness,

every section of the state should

show a sense of belonging.

Ekiti State belongs to all of us

and not to a particular Zone.

Ekiti south Senatorial district

should be given the chance to

present the next Governor like

other Zone in the state.

God bless Ekiti South Senatorial

District;

God bless the land of honour;

God the Federal Republic of

Nigeria.

Details of the Monday/Tuesday

marathon meeting between

President Goodluck Jonathan

and the leadership of the

Academic Staff Union of

Universities have begun to

emerge.

“The meeting should be the

longest that we have ever

had on this crisis but I can

tell you that both parties

were frank all through the

discussions.

“The parties also showed

commitment towards

ending the crisis. The

President in particular

showed that he was serious

about ending the strike and

that was why he offered to

release over N1tn to the

universities in the next five

years."

Punch gathered on Tuesday

evening that a key component of

the agreement reached by the

parties was that the Federal

Government would inject N1.1tn

into public universities in the

next five years.

A reliable source, who made this

known, also hinted that the

strike would be called off

anytime next week.

He said the government team

which was led by President

Goodluck Jonathan would

release N220bn yearly into the

sector beginning from 2014.

The source added, “The money

will be released on a yearly

basis at N220bn per annum

beginning from 2014. For the

outgoing year, the government

will only release N100bn and

this has been processed.”

He said that the government, in

order to show its commitment to

a fresh pact, accepted that “the

fund (N1.1tn) should domiciled

at the Central Bank of Nigeria”

“The money will be released on a

quarterly basis to the

universities. So, there won’t be

any problem about funding the

deal,” the source said.

The National Universities

Commission and the Trade

Union Congress, according to

him, are joint guarantors of the

agreement while the Minister of

Education will be the

implementation officer.

The source said that the

government agreed among other

things, to revamp the public

universities by ensuring that all

those issues that always led to

strike were dealt with once and

for all.

It was learnt that the negotiating

team of ASUU led by Dr. Nassir

Faggae met on Tuesday to

further deliberate on the deal.

Jim Iyke Breaks Up With Nadia? He's Not Ready For Marriage

Signs that all is not well between

actor Jim Iyke and Nadia Buari

manifested after OluFamous.Com

sent him a tweet on Sunday

evening on why he wants to

marry the Ghanian actress.

Moments after Jim Iyke read the

report on Obascotec, he

dished out a statement that

suggests that all is no longer the

way they used to be before his

pregnancy scandal with a Lagos

babe known as Nancy.

Below is what we have gathered

about Jim and Nadia's issues...

Before Jim Iyke even sent out a

statement on Sunday denying

reports that he was making

marriage plans with Nadia Buari,

the actress have already deleted

all his pictures from her page on

instagram.

Then Jim himself now capped it

with a tweet, saying marriage is

not his priority now. Many folks

have read a lot of meaning into

their issues, but it appears the

matter of Nancy's pregnancy is

still a major issue.

Nadia is no longer saying sweet

things about Jim online and he

is now saying he's not ready for

marriage yet.

Catholic Priest Denies Inviting Obi To Uke Adoration Centre -

By Bruno Mbanaso

Obi made a surprise and

unscheduled

visit to Holy Ghost Adoration

Ministries

with his entourage, says the

proprietor

of Holy Ghost Adoration

Ministries, Rev

Father Emanuel Obinma aka

Ebube

Monso.

Gov. Obi had in his broadcast

claimed to

have been invited by the

Reverend father,

but the spiritually gifted clergy

confided

in a close friend and

worshipper in the

church that what Obi is

broadcasting to

the state in not correct, as he

did not

invite him, but could not have

asked him

to leave once he had come.

Our source states: ‘Rev.

Obinma as visibly

angry, based on the false claim

by the

governor in a state-wide

broadcast,

which gives the impression that

our

church is being mixed up with

politics.’

‘Well, we do not ask people to

leave when

they come here, We open our

hands to

receive all, because that is the

nature of

soul-winning, but to say that

we sent a

written invitation to him ( Gov

Obi) to

attend our vigil on November 1,

2013 is

to say the least worrisome’ Rev

Obinma

was quoted as saying.

According to our

very reliable source, the

catholic priest is

yet to make up his mind

whether to join

issues publicly with Gov. Obi

but is very

resolute about straightening the

records

on the issue of a written

invitation to the

governor’.

Gov Obi had attended a night

vigil in the

Adoration Centre at 2.00am last

Saturday

along with Candidate of APGA

in

November 16 governorship

polls, Mr Wilie

Obiano, National Chairman of

APGA, Chief

Victor Umeh,Director General of

Willie

Obiano Campaign Organisation,

Chief Joe-

Martins Uzodike, also the

Commissioner

for Information,Mr Oke Udeh

erstwhile

Deputy Governor who betrayed

Dr Chris

Ngige in office as a governor,

and one

Ifeanyi Ibezi, a native of

Abatete, among

others.

There attempt to speak to the

crowd and

convince them to vote for

Obiano failed,

as the people initially protested

the mix-

up of worship with politics.

However,

when Obi insisted on having his

way, the

crowd burst into a song,

rendering

praises to Senator Dr Chris

Ngige, Obi’s

political rival and candidate of

the All

Progressive Congress (APC), a

development which angered

Obi.

Peter Obi at the Adoration

Grounds

It took the intervention of Rev

Fr Obinma

for Obi to speak at all to the

people, who

became uncontrollable again

when the

governor asked them to vote

for Obiano

who was beside him in the

uniformed

delegation.

Obiano has since denied

attending the

vigil with Governor Obi, while

Obi’s

broadcast to the state carefully

omitted

the name of the faltering

candidate of

Obi’s political party.

Controversy has ensued over

the actual

time of departure of the

governor from

the venue, and how it relates to

the

stampede which eventually

recorded a

death casualty of 61 persons as

the

governor claims to have left at

3.00am ,while eye-witnesses

PHCN Manager, Others Arrested For Alleged Cable Theft -

The Nigeria Security and Civil

Defence Corps, Akwa Ibom

State Command, has arrested a

Power Holding Company of

Nigeria service manager and

eight others for allegedly

engaging in illegal poles

planting and cables theft.

The eight men were said to

have been nabbed following a

tip-off from residents that some

vandals were tampering

with the PHCN installations at

Nung Oku in Ibesikpo/Asutan

Local Government Area.

It was learnt that the service

manager, Ibesikpo/Asutan

LGA’s PHCN office was arrested

for alleged complicity in the

crime.

The command’s head, Public

Relations/Protocol, Mr. Ime

White, told PUNCH Metro in Uyo

on Monday that following

the tip-off, the state

commandant of the agency, Mr.

Pedro Ideba, quickly mobilised

patrol teams to the area.

He explained that the

command’s prompt action was

also

necessitated by the fear that if

the vandals were quacks,

they could be electrocuted.

White said following the arrest

of the suspects, the

command impounded the truck

they were using, which

had PHCN label indicating that

the vandals were from the

Port Harcourt district.

He noted that investigation,

however, revealed that though

the vandals posed as PHCN

workers, none had ever worked

with the parastatal.

He added that NSCDC had

impounded feeder cables,

insulators, ladder and other

working tools recovered from

the suspects.

He said, “We discovered a

purported contract of

transplanting poles being

undertaken by one Jenkins

International Limited.

“It was the duty of the service

manager, PHCN, Ibesikpo/

Asutan LGA, to have notified the

Uyo District of such jobs,

but that did not happen.

“Upon the arrest of the

suspects, we discovered that

the

truck they were using had

PHCN label that has to do with

metering project of Port

Harcourt district and not Akwa

Ibom. Although they posed as

PHCN workers, we

discovered that none of them

worked with the company.

Feeder cables, insulators,

ladders and other working

tools, were all impounded

here.”

He stated that when the

command contacted Uyo office

of the PHCN to verify if there

was any contract they gave to

Jenkins International Limited,

the office denied knowledge of

such deal.

This Lady Got Pregnant at 18; Today at 25 She Is Overall Best Graduating Student

Seven years after an

unwanted pregnancy

forced her to drop out of

the University of Ilorin,

Aishat Farooq has

emerged the best

graduating student of the

Bells University of

Technology in Ota, Ogun

State.

When Aishat Farooq

gained admission into the

University of Ilorin at 15,

to study Zoology, little did

she know that her secret

romance with a boy will

abort her lofty dreams

through pregnancy...

Despite the fact that she

was a high flyer in her

first two years in

UNILORIN, the now 25-

year-old indigene of Ilorin,

Kwara State, got

distracted along the line.

She played the campus

love game and got a

shocking result: she got

pregnant.

It was in 2006 and in her

third year. She was

pregnant for a fellow

student whom she had

been dating. She was

disappointed in herself

and thought the whole

world was crashing on

her. Yet, she vowed not to

terminate the pregnancy.

Although she wanted to

continue her studies in the

university, she became

disillusioned and dropped

out at 18. She sought

consolation in trading. But

her father, Shehu Farooq,

who believed that his

daughter’s academic

prowess should not be

wasted, was determined

to get her back on the

academic track.

Today, Aishat has a

different story. On

Saturday, she stood tall

among her peers at the

5th convocation ceremony

of Bells University, Ota,

Ogun State, where she

emerged the overall best

graduating student with a

Cumulative Grade Point

Average of 4.93 .

“The rebel in me won,”

Aishat declared while

giving the valedictory

address on behalf of the

208 graduating students

of the university.

“I hope my story will

inspire at least one

person to change his or

her circumstance. I was

pregnant at 18 and by 19

I was already a mother. I

had disappointed my

father who believed so

much in me. He had such

big dreams for me and

feared the dreams would

become unfulfilled,” she

added.

Breaking the news of the

pregnancy to her father,

who was at the time

based in the northern part

of the country, was not

easy. Aishat’s mother,

Fatima, who stayed in

Lagos with the family, did

not break the “sad news”

to the man until the lady

was almost due. The

mum then feared her

husband would be too

angry.

Aishat studied Business

Administration with

specialisation in Human

Resources Management,

and received the Vice-

Chancellor’s Prize for the

Overall Best Graduating

Student with a cash

reward of N50,000 and a

plaque . She also won the

College of Management

Sciences Prize and

Department of Business

Administration Prize for

the Best Graduating

Student.

Speaking with Punch's

Temitayo Famutimi after

she received the awards,

Aishat, whose face

beamed with smiles,

expressed gratitude to her

dad for not losing hope in

her during her trying time.

She noted, “I did

exceptionally well and

bagged awards in the

schools I attended. I had

the overall best result at

the Senior Secondary

School Certificate level at

Model Secondary School,

Maitama, Abuja. In fact in

UNILORIN, I was on the

first class grade in my

first year but in 200 Level,

I dropped to second class

upper division because I

had already started

getting distracted by the

boys .

“It just happened that

things turned out the way

it did. But here I am, a

product of God’s

unending mercies,

unconditional love and

grace – all coupled with

the faith my dad had in

me and my fierce

determination.

“I’m a goalgetter. I push

myself hard. Even here in

spite of being a mother, I

was pushing for the best

despite the challenges. I

wanted to make my dad

proud again. Once you

are determined, nothing is

impossible. Nothing can

stop you .”

UPDATE ON JONATHAN'S MEETING WITH ASUU LEADERS

The major reason why ASUU has

refused to call off its prolonged

strike is the mind-boggling

salaries and the unending

allowances of political office

holders in Nigeria, especially the

Executive and Legislature.

Obascote cobascotec gathered that it

is with this 'trouble' that ASUU

leaders entered into a closed

door meeting in Aso Rock with

President Goodluck Jonathan on

Monday. Sensing that the

lectures are ready to speak their

minds without fear, the meeting

was shifted to the First Lady

Conference Room.

called off emerged when

Jonathan said while shaking

hands with members of the

delegation that, “The matter must

be resolved here today. Our

children must go back to

school.”

The meeting went into the early

hours of Tuesday, all in a bid to

find a final resolution to the

strike that started on July 1,

2013. ASUU went into the

meeting with the NLC President,

Abdulawahid Omar.

On his part, Jonathan was joined

by VP Sambo; Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-

Iweala; Anyim Pius Anyim;

Nyesom Wike and Minister of

Labour, Emeka Wogu.

gathered that if

ASUU have its way, the strike

will be called off soon but their

would be a general reduction in

the salary of political office

holders across board by 2014.

The President ASUU is expected

to meet his members on

Tuesday to take a final decision

on the strike.

24yrs old Man Killed 2 Boys & Harvests Their Vital Organs For Money Rituals In Abia/Enugu

Chizoba Michael Nwobodo’s

inordinate ambition to get rich

quick has left two families in

deep sorrow and anguish. The

24-yr-old gruesomely

murdered two young boys and

harvested their vital organs

for money making rituals.

He’s a kidnapper, armed robber

and ritual killer who hails from

Umualaguroyi Uhueze Nenwe

village in Aninri West Local

Government Area of Enugu State.

He committed the heinous

crimes between August and

October this year.

In the first incident, which

occurred in Ohuhu, Abia State on

August 7, 2013, he abducted

Emmanuel Nwobodo, the nine-

year-old son of his uncle,

Nnamdi Nwobodo, immediately

the boy returned from school at

4.00pm on that fateful day. He

took the boy into a nearby bush,

beheaded him and proceeded to

harvest his kidneys, lungs, heart

and genitals. Done with the

horrible act, he calmly dumped

the boy’s dismembered body on

the bank of a nearby river.

When evening came and the boy

had still not returned from

school, the parents started

searching for him. Chizoba even

joined in the search for the

unfortunate boy. When he could

not be found, his parents

reported the matter to the police

at Isikwuato Police Station, Abia

State.

Later, Chizoba made a call to his

uncle, informing him thus: “I told

my uncle that I kidnapped the

child at 4.00pm, that if he can

pay me ransom of N300,000 I

would release the child to him.

He paid me N200,000. After

some time, I called my uncle

again and demanded another

sum of N200,000. I told him to

sell his land, but my uncle

refused to pay the money. At the

time I was demanding the

money, I had already killed the

child.”

On October 11, 2013, barely two

months after murdering nine-

year-old Emmanuel, Chizoba

again abducted another child,

Promise Uwakwe, a five-year-

old boy as he was returning

from school. This time around,

he enticed the innocent boy with

biscuits, dragged him into the

bush and when the obviously

startled boy began to scream

after sensing danger, Chizoba

quickly strangled him to death

and then removed the boy’s vital

organs.

Promise’s father, Mr Ngozi

Nwakwe said the family became

worried when the boy’s school

uniform was found on the

ground but he could not be

found. After the first day, he

reported to the police at Anniri

Police Post and the policemen

joined in the search for the

child. When the child was not

found after three days, the case

was transferred to the Anti-

kidnapping Squad of the Enugu

State Police Command.

Like the well-known Otokoto

ritual killing incident that

occurred in 1996 in Imo State,

the blood of the gruesomely

murdered innocent little boys

cried unceasingly before the

Throne of the Almighty for

justice.

“It was when the suspect

demanded N3 million ransom

from us that we alerted the

police and they rounded him up

and he confessed to them that

he had killed my son and

removed his genitals lungs,

kidneys and heart and then

dumped him inside a water tank

from which we recovered his

corpse,” Nwakwe said in

anguish.

Enugu State Commissioner of

Police, Mr. Abubakar Adamu who

narrated Chizoba’s murderous

escapades to Sunday Sun

revealed that the suspect was

exposed when he called Mr

Nwakwe and demanded N3

million ransom for the boy. The

family refused and reported to

the police.

CP Adamu said the Commander

of the Anti-Kidnapping Squad,

Alex Akinlalu, a Deputy

Superintendent of Police (DSP)

and his team swung into action

and arrested Chizoba at his

village.

In a brief chat after his arrest by

the police, Chizoba told Sunday

Sun “I am a kidnapper, armed

robber, ritualist, artist and

musician. I traveled to India in

2013 to acquire power so that

anything I engage in will

prosper. I spent one month and

one week in India. I needed

money, so I contacted a

herbalist who told me that if I

wanted to make money I should

look for two boys and two girls

between the ages of four and

nine years old for money ritual.”

Continuing, he said: “I used the

two boys for the ritual. I bought

red candle, blue candle, black

candle, white candle and other

ritual materials and did some

incantations after which I threw

the human parts into the bush.”

Meanwhile, Mrs. Elizabeth

Nwobodo, mother of Emmanuel,

the first victim, is crying and

calling on the government to

ensure that justice is done and

she has been assured by CP

Adamu that the suspect would

definitely be charged to court for

his heinous crimes at the

conclusion of investigations.
