Boko Haram plans “massive attacks” during Eid-El-Kabir

The Nigeria Joint Military Task Force (JTF) on Tuesday said it had
uncovered a plot by Boko Haram Islamists to carry out "massive
attacks" during an upcoming Muslim festival with the help of foreign
mercenaries.

A spokesman said the insurgents were planning to strike in an
embattled northeastern state during Eid-El-Kabir, typically called
Sallah in Nigeria, which this year falls on October 25 and 26.

"Information available to the Joint Task Force indicates that the Boko
Haram terrorists are planning to launch massive attacks on military
and civilian targets in Borno state before, during and after the
forthcoming Sallah celebrations," Lieutenant Colonel Sagir Musa said
in a statement.

"We know where they are coming from but we don't want to disclose that
because we don't want to pre-empt our security arrangement to tackle
them".

Nigerian security forces have frequently exaggerated their success in
cracking down on Boko Haram and it was impossible to verify their
claims on Tuesday.

It is well oooooooo !!!!!!

Death Row : Oshiomhole under pressure to withdraw Dealth warrant

Amnesty International, a global human rights group, raised the alarm
on Monday that the inmates might have been executed and pleaded with
the governor to spare their lives and allow their appeal to go through
the judicial process.

Back home, a coalition of human rights groups and lawyers met in Abuja
for several hours, Tuesday, brainstorming on how best to convince
Oshiomhole to rescind his execution
order and give the two condemned men another chance to live.

The crucial meeting, which was convened by lawyers under the auspices
of Prison Reforms and Decongestion Initiative, met with officials of
the National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, in Abuja and considered
options available to save the lives of the two embattled men.

Consequently, the group decided to send a letter to the Edo State
Governor, pleading with him to temper justice with mercy by
withdrawing the execution warrant in respect of the two men already
condemned to death.

Additionally, they decided to meet the Attorney General of the
Federation, Mohammed Adoke, to intervene and halt the execution of the
two men, since Nigeria had an existing moratorium on non-execution of
death row prisoners.

The team was also to meet with the Comptroller General of the Nigerian
Prisons last night to also seek his cooperation and understanding in
preserving the lives of the two men pending the hearing and
determination of an appeal filed by them against their execution.

But a senior prisons official who was at the meeting, said the team
needed to act fast since the governor had the right under Nigerian law
to sign a death warrant before an inmate is released by for execution.

The groups decided to send an emissary to Oshiomhole to plead further
with him and to apologise over certain issues relating to the inmates,
which the governor is said to have taken exception to.

The governor had defended his decision to kill the two men and spare
the lives of five others who were presented to him, pointing out that
they did not deserve to live given the gravity of their bestial acts
against their victims.

“GROW UP BOSS” – GT DA GUITARMAN ATTACKS OLISA ADIBUA (beat FM.)

Quite literally, there is a storm brewing between GT Da Guitarman and
his former boss at Storm Records, Olisa Adibua.

The crux of the matter is that, Adibua, who is currently the Programs
Director at The Beat FM, is allegedly refusing to play his songs at
the station. "As ma radio presenter former boss no wan gree play my
song for station wey no be him papa own..Grow up boss", he vented in
one tweet.

Another read: "My outlook on life is soo different now mehn..if u r
God I can kiss ur a*s..if u r not, na kick to ur a*s o.."

GT left Storm Records two years ago, after he complaining he wasn't
receiving as much attention as the other artistes on the Obi Asika
owned outfit. He eventually quit, after releasing
his album amidst controversy.

Although he did not mention names, it is clear he was referring to
Olisa Adibua, who presents the Morning Rush on the station.

Olisa Adibua himself, has fallen out at Storm, after a reported
disagreement with Obi Asika.

Why I gave Boko Haram N1.5 million for Sallah rams – Senator Zanna

Remember Senator Zanna was invited by the SSS yesterday. Well another
story came up; the senator had to explain to the men who interrogated
him why he gave Boko Haram
members N1.5M for Sallah rams.

Monday night, Zanna arrived at the SSS headquarters in Abuja at about
1 pm where he was processed for interrogation.

He gave further insight into his relationship with the dreaded
Islamist sect and reiterated his denial that Bama was arrested in his
Maiduguri home.

He told his interrogators that he gave N1.5 million for Sallah rams to
the sect members following their threat to attack him.

He explained that when they took his aide to his house for a search,
they retrieved N250, 000 and left a message with the aide for him that
he should provide them N10 million or they would come for him.

The senator, who was released at about 10 pm, is expected to report
back at the SSS headquarters by 11am Tuesday.

The bottom line of it all is that, he SSS men during their
interrogation with the Senator found out that, the Senator still
communicates with his nephew, Bama the Boko Haram
member, but the Senator insists it is not true.

Chris Brown Steps Out With Ex Karrueche Tran Two Days After Hanging With Rihanna

Chris Brown broke up with gal pal Karrueche Tran, saying he didn't
want to see her hurt because of his "friendship" with Rihanna. Well,
it appears they still can't stay away from each other.

Two days after hooking up with Ri-Ri at a Beverly Hills bash, the
"Run It" singer was snapped Monday afternoon leaving his place with
the 24-year-old Tran, and they reportedly took off in separate cars.

Rihanna and Chris Brown cozy up at a Beverly Hills party A source
exclusively tells E! News that Brown and Tran remain very close
friends and that they've been spending time together to work on a
photo shoot.

The two reportedly have a very good working relationship, but our
source says that there is nothing romantic between them. Per Ace
Showbiz, the pair stopped at a gas station together, where Brown, 23,
kindly had his bodyguard hand Tran $20 to pay for her gas.

They then continued on to a studio in Burbank. This is getting
interesting, no? Ahahhhhhhhhhh

Obama Sold Cocaine In College ; Trumped-Up Charges? Republicans Rejected Mans Claims

A man claiming to be a close pal to President Obama during college
made contact with Republican operatives recently, ready to go public
with claims that Obama used and sold cocaine in college,
RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.

The operatives tried to spread the story through the media and the
Romney campaign, a source close to the situation told Radar. At first
he wanted to do a book, a source close to the situation told our
source about the alleged college pal. But there just was not enough
time before the election.

The people he is involved with have produced other credible
information that is damaging to national Democratic figures in the
past few years.

Operatives close to the Romney campaign were contacted and rejected
the information, the source told source .

They didnt want anything to do with it, the source said. They thought
it was not anything they wanted to be associated with or anything
their candidate would want to be associated with. In fact, the mans
charges about Obama never reach Mitt Romney.

A proposal of the mans story was created and viewed by Radar. The
document claims that there are multiple sources who can back up
allegations that Obama used and sold cocaine in college.

The alleged pal was willing to go on the record for the story and take
a polygraph test, according to the source.

The operatives close to the Romney campaign believed the mans story
would be the ultimate October Surprise but they got nowhere.People who
would have taken the information to the highest levels of Romneys
campaign just wouldnt touch it.

They dont want their candidate smeared with this type of activity.

Motorcyclist sells nurse to ritual killers for N10,000 only

A commercial motorcyclist, identified simply as Ifeanyi, has been
arrested for allegedly handing over a nurse, Mrs. Helen Ilonge
(picture above), to ritual killers after collecting
N10, 000.

Punch Metro learnt that Ilonge had on Tuesday last week took Ifeanyi's
motorcycle on her way to Igoli along the Ogoja-Ikom Highway in Ogoja
LGA.

Ilonge, the coordinator of Primary Health Care in Bekwarra Local
Government Area of Cross River State, was coming from a programme at
the Assemblies of God. Church, Abakaliki in Ebonyi State, and had
alighted from a vehicle at Okpongrinya junction before taking the
bike.

It was gathered that Ilonge (51) was beheaded while her other vital
reproductive parts such as breast and vagina were removed for ritual
purposes.

Ilonge's neighbour, Mrs. Theresa Idagwu, on Sunday said, "Ifeanyi took
the lady from Okpogrinya Junction on the pretence that he was taking
her to the village, which is 10
minutes drive from the point.

But along the way, he stopped and handed her over to kidnappers at
Ukpe. Meanwhile, the woman had called her daughter, Victoria, around
9pm that she had taken a bike at Okpogrinya Junction on her way to
Igoli.

She said when she gets to her destination; she would call again so
that Victoria would boil water for her to take her bath. That was
Ilonge's last call." Repeated calls made to the woman's line,
according to Idagwu, indicated that it was switched off.

She said Ilonge's family became worried when the woman did not return
home. "We went everywhere- police stations, hospitals and even her
friends in Igoli, thinking that may be an accident had occurred along
the road but we got nothing,

" Idagwu added. Two days later, Idagwu said someone called Victoria on
her phone and informed her that her mother had been kidnapped. The
caller demanded a ransom of N50, 000 to be remitted in form of
recharge cards.

She said, "Since her daughter could no raise the money, she rushed to
the Bekwarra LGA headquarters where the head of administration, Mr.
Bisong Bogbo, and the chairman, Mr. Linus Edeh, provided the money
with which she bought recharge cards and sent to the caller.

"The voice claimed that he needed the recharge cards so he could sell
and run away from his master who is a ritual killer. He claimed that
he had been serving his master for a long time and wanted to run away.

He said once he gets the cards, he will break the door where the
nurse is being kept and release her." The LGA's head of
administration, Bogbo, confirmed that the cards were sent to the
kidnapper through Victoria's telephone.

He said immediately the alleged kidnapper confirmed receipt of the
cards; he switched off his telephone. Luck, however, ran out of
Ifeanyi. Policemen tracked his telephone line and discovered that he
called Victoria from Abuochiche. Further investigations, it was
gathered, showed that Ifeanyi had been selling the cards in the
village immediately he got them.

When he was arrested, Bogbo told our correspondent that Ifeanyi led
the police to one of the ritual killers identified simply as Elvis.
Elvis, according to Bogbo, confessed that the nurse had already been
killed and some of her vital organs removed before Ifeanyi asked for
the recharge cards.

Elvis also said the remains of the woman were buried in a swamp. At
the council headquarters, one of the late nurse's colleagues, Mr.
Gabriel Ogar, said she was probably the kindest woman he ever worked
with.

Ogar said, "I have worked with five coordinators, but I know that she
is just the best so far. She worked to the admiration of Governor
Liyel Imoke and now she has been killed leaving her five children
without a helper.

"Her husband died 12 years ago and since then she has been the one
taking care of the children and only one has. graduated. Please let
the government do something for those poor children." When contacted
on Monday, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Osita Ezechukwu, said
the police were still investigating the matter.

He said four suspects had been apprehended by the anti-
homicide unit, adding that when the investigation was completed the
suspects would be prosecuted. "We have taken confessional statement
from them.

Those who are not involved have been allowed to go while those who are
involved are still in detention," Ezechukwu said.

Governor Fashola is not working as Okada riders protest police harassment, vandalise BRT buses

Commercial activities were disrupted for hours in Onipanu, Fadeyi,
Mushin and Ijora areas of Lagos State on Monday after scores of
commercial motorcycle operators otherwise known as okada riders went
on the rampage to protest against police harassment and the state's
traffic law.

The state government had on August 2, 2012, signed into law, the
restriction of commercial motorcycles on 475 roads, specifically,
bridges, expressways and double-carriage roads.

Last Monday, the police began a clampdown on okada riders resulting in
seizure of motorcycles and harassment of the riders.

Our correspondent, who was in Onipanu, reported that the rampaging
okada riders vandalised five BRT buses, causing a stampede among
passengers.

One of the BRT officials, who refused to identify himself, said the
riders wielded dangerous weapons and forced passengers out of the
buses.

He said, "Around 10am, some motorcyclists accosted some of the buses
that were filled with passengers. The riders wielded cutlasses,
sticks, canes and even catapults.

"They smashed the windscreens of the buses and many of the passengers
even sustained injuries while trying to escape. "After sometime, some
policemen came but the okada riders used catapults to hurl stones at
them. They even overpowered one of the policemen and seized his gun.

Before the policemen could call for back-up, the okada riders drove
against traffic and sped off, making it difficult for policemen to
chase them." Agege Motor Road, Palm Avenue and Idi Araba in Mushin
area were also deserted following similar protests.

An okada rider, Paul Okon, accused the police of extorting money from
them under the pretext of enforcing the law. Okon berated the state
government for not protecting okada riders from police harassment and
for not creating alternative jobs.

He said, "The traffic law restricts okada operation from majorly
expressways and bridges. Most of us have accepted to obey the law but
the police are not enforcing the law the right way.

"Policemen now arrest motorcyclists on backstreets and minor roads and
use it as an avenue to extort money from us. Why can't the state
government protect us from police harassment?

"If a policeman arrests a rider on a non- prohibited road and the
policeman claims he arrested the rider on an expressway, who would
believe the rider? Just yesterday, (Sunday) policemen seized four
motorcycles on Fashoro Street, Surulere and collected N5,000 from each
of them. It's very unfair."

Different police patrol vehicles, some of which were inscribed with
Rapid Response Squad, OPS Attack were seen patrolling Mushin area.
Some policemen were seen shooting into the air. Perhaps, the most
affected area was Ijora Olopa where the riders were said to have
vandalised a large number of BRT buses.

Our correspondent, who visited Costain, saw a red Daewoo LAGBUS with
registration number Lagos XR159-AKD and route number D087 that was
badly damaged.

In the bus, there were shoes, a lady's handbag and some items
suspected to be belonging to passengers who fled when the bus was
attacked. It was later towed to Iponri Police Station.

Meanwhile, no Lagos State Traffic Management Authority official was
seen in the affected areas as most were said to have fled. When our
correspondent visited BRT park, Ojota, it was learnt that five newly
refurbished blue buses were among the vandalised vehicles.

The number of the red LAGBUS vehicles vandalised could not be
ascertained but it was learnt that most of them had been conveyed to
Tafawa Balewa Square.

Public Relations Officer, BRT, Nonye Onwumere, urged the state
government to bring the perpetrators to book.
"These buses are expensive to maintain and members of the public need
to understand that the buses are for public comfort," she said. The
PRO said five blue buses were vandalised and no member of staff was
injured.

Lindsay's Camp Fires Back At Dad 'Michael Lohan': All He Wants Is Publicity For Himself!

Lindsay Lohan's camp is firing back at reports that Michael Lohan is
aligned with her legal and management team in an effort to get the
embattled starlet to go to rehab,Y! News is exclusively reporting.

"It's apparent Michael continues to be very focused on getting
publicity for himself. Lindsay's team is in no way aligned with him or
his actions," Lohan's rep, Steve Honig, tells source.

As we previously reported, several of Lindsay's friends have confirmed
that the Liz & Dick star is partying and out of control as her father
Michael attempts to put the star under a conservatorship.

"People who party with Lindsay have confirmed her excessive partying
and getting wasted," one source in Los Angeles told Radar. "They act
one way to her face, but have been telling different stories behind
her back.

Meanwhile, the family war between Lindsay's parents continues to rage
with Lindsay and their other children caught in the middle.

The war between Michael and Dina has been ongoing, but a source in Los
Angeles confirms to Radar that Michael does not want control of
Lindsay's money.

Counters another source, "Michael may have the best intentions towards
his daughter, but it's going to be virtually impossible for any judge
to sign off on a conservatorship because Lindsay doesn't meet the
criteria for it at this point. Lindsay is able to take care of
herself, and doesn't appear to be suffering from any serious mental
health issues.

Even if Lindsay is doing drugs and drinking, as her father contends,
that isn't enough for a conservatorship. It would be much better if
Michael took actions out of the glare of the media to stop the
constant chaos."

Chris Brown Attacked Me With A Homophobic F-Word Slur, Claims Fan

Chris Brown continues to use inappropriate homophobic slurs and this
time we exclusively learned the controversial rap star attacked one of
his fans by calling him a "f***ot."

On Friday night Los Angeles resident Lucas Peter was at the Arclight
movie theater in Hollywood when he spotted Chris and his entourage and
approached him to ask for an autograph but Lucas was taken off guard
by Chris' reaction.

"The movie let out and I saw Chris come out the front door, sort of
semi-running. I approached Chris and asked him to sign my CD cover,"
Lucas told our source in an exclusive interview.

"His bodyguard stopped me and said Chris wouldn't be signing, so I
told him Rihanna signs all the time. That's when Chris stopped in the
garage by the parking pay stand and yelled 'f***ot' at me."

Lucas, who is an openly gay man, admits getting angry at Chris'
ignorance and attacking him back by calling him a "wife beater."

"I walked over to where Chris was getting in the elevator and called
him a wife beater and asked him if he was going to beat Rihanna
again," Lucas said.

"Chris said, 'I beat p***y' and then his bodyguard tried to scare me
by saying, 'And I beat men.'"

According to Lucas, Chris took off with his bodyguard and one less fan.

Y! entertainment News exclusively reported last July, Chris stunned
onlookers during a pickup basketball game when he shouted anti-gay
slurs at the other players.

"He got really ticked off when things didnt go his way during the
game, saying, Thats gay! and Youre a f***ot a**! to the other
players," an eyewitness said.

Chris and his long-time girlfriend Karreuche Tran** broke up in
October citing his friendship with Rihanna as the issue and the two
have been spotted getting cozy recently at various events.

Oshiomhole frees two prisoners condemned to Death

GOVERNOR Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has granted amnesty to two
prisoners condemned to death in exercise of his prerogative of mercy.

The governor said the prisoners, Monday Odu, who was sentenced to
death for conspiracy and murder, and Calistus Ikem, convicted for
conspiracy and armed robbery, were granted amnesty because they did
not take the lives of their victims.

He also commuted to life imprisonment the sentence of death penalty
for two others: Tijani Mustapha, convicted for conspiracy and armed
robbery; and Zubem Abduramma, convicted for conspiracy and armed
robbery; while Patrick. Ojiefo, who was convicted for assault on a
police officer while discharging his lawful duty and served 6-months
jail term in 1973, was granted pardon.

Speaking after granting amnesty to Odu and Ikem, Oshiomhole said: "You
have been condemned to death for murder but we have exercised the
prerogative of mercy to release you from prison for the offence
believing you have learnt your lesson. You can still be useful to
society and useful to yourself."

While addressing Odu, 32, and a minor when he was convicted in 1997,
the governor said, "We are letting you off the hook to go and sin no
more. We will find a way to find a job for you under the Edo Youth
Employment Scheme.

You have no reason to return to crime and that means if you do
anything again you are completely on your own."

He told Ikem, 52, and convicted in 1996, to be ready to work and cope
with the rigours of life as he returned to his family in Imo State.

"You stole house hold items which could have taken your life. The
government will give you N200,000 and another N100, 000 to Monday Odu
to go and start all over. I hope you will be able to make something
positive out of this your present condition," Oshiomhole added.

The Comptroller of Prisons in Edo State, Mr. Ewuho Jimoh, who led the
prisoners to Government House, said he was presenting the two inmates
who had been granted amnesty in compliance with a letter granting them
pardon to the governor. What do you think? ' Oshiomhole '. Just saved
life's .

Mimiko Landslide

After months of intense politicking and anxiety, the Ondo State
governorship election ended yesterday with Governor Segun Mimiko of
the Labour Party emerging victorious.

The announcement of the results by the Independent National Electoral
Commission began at 2:55am today and ended at 4:30am when the process
was discontinued. One of the INEC officials told the gathering of
electoral officials, party agents and security agents that more
declaration of the results would resume at 10am.

As of the time the announcement was stopped, the results from 15 Local
Government Areas had been announced. The results clearly showed that
Mimiko's victory at the poll was all but assured.

Out of the 15 LGAs, the LP candidate won in 12 LGAS including Akoko
South-East, Akoko North-East, Akoko North-West and others. The Action
Congress of Nigeria candidate, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, won in two local
government areas, while the Peoples Democratic Party candidate,
Olusola Oke, won in one.

ACN won in Akeredolu's local government, Owo, and Senator Ajayi
Boroffice's Akoko South West Local Government Area. PDP won in
Okitipupa Local Government Area.Results from three local government
council areas were not declared.

Mimiko started the day on a good note winning his polling unit whereas
the Action Congress of Nigeria candidate, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu, lost
his polling unit and ward to the governor's party.

Mimiko polled 348 votes at his Ondo Ward 7 Unit 20, while the PDP and
the ACN scored 18 and 16 respectively. Voters across Ondo trooped out
to the streets after Mimiko's victory
in his ward.

Akeredolu scored 139 in his Ward 5 Unit 6 in Owo, while Mimiko scored
144 votes, just as the PDP polled 35.

It was also gathered that the PDP lost at the Special Adviser to the
President on Niger Delta, Mr. Kingsley Kuku's polling unit, RCM Unit
2, Arogbo Ward1. The result showed that the LP polled 97; PDP, 85; and
ACN 16.

At Adumasi House, Unit 04, Ilepa Ward II, Ikare, Akoko North-East
Local Goverment Area, ACN had 82 votes with the LP polling 100 and
PDP, 60.

There was jubilation in Akure, Ondo and Owo towns when news filtered
in that the LP was leading in the results announced at the various
polling units in the state.

There were altercations between loyalists of LP and the ACN in some
parts of Oka, Ikare and Akungba over the election results.

Some of the ACN members had accused the ruling LP of engaging in
ballot stuffing in some areas.

Despite initial fears of voter apathy, there was a high turnout of
voters in most parts of the state. In Ondo-North Senatorial District
of the state, voters trooped out to polling centres amidst tight
security by the joint patrol team comprising army, police, civil
defence and men of the State Security Service.

If LP wins the election is not that their

Tinubu don enter debt after all the wasting of
money.Do you acn guys really think all
people in ondo state are st*pid like your
tinubu?you guys are talking of regional
integration does that mean we should for one
party?why cant there be different parties and
yet the southwest still remain integrated?if
you say will should vote for a.c.n in the name
of regional integration propose by your stupid
tinunubu,then where is democracy that allows
people to vote for the people of their choice?
or are we in the millitary era where civilian
have no right to choose?does that mean no
matter what a.c.n does on the throne we have
no choice than to continue to vote for the
stup*d party in the name of regional
integration why cant there be a organization
set up that unite all southwest governors
inrespective of their political parties and when
as political parties become an
organization .you see you people may have
deceived the gullible people of other states
but ondo state indigenes are always more
intelligent than you all and we are always
ready to practise true democracy,even if we
have to vote labour party again to stop all
your party deception and brain washing.
A.c.n you and tinubu are just some set of
irreponsible boys.


Kazeem October 21, 2012 at 2:36 am

I salute the courage of the Ondo people for
resisting the Lagos encroachment plan. Who
knows if the ACN candidate has won, may
be the Okadas of the Ondo's indigenes who
were sent packing by BRF from Lagos
would be crushed again in Ondo! BRF,
Tinubu and ACN in general are not poor
people friendly.

The era of people being blindfolded by
moneybags is over. Individuals would now
be voted into office by their achievements.
BRF didn't show his colour early enough in
Lagos, perhaps he wouldn't have been voted
in for the 2nd term. Anyway, he has spoilt the
show for the next ACN candidate in Lagos.
Tinubu would be shocked by the next guber
election in Lagos. BRF took away food from
3,000 families without making sufficient
alternatives for them, He is just wicked!

Tobby Cooty October 21, 2012 at 2:39 am

The moment Tinubu started quoting bible
verses at ACN's campaign in Akure, I knew
the lord needed him..with out doubt I believe
he might make a good preacher. Jagaban/
Godfather or whatever, there's still space for
you in the vineyard of christ…*MFM prayer
city awaits you*

….. Ondo State people voted for 2nd Term of
their slavery under Mimiko and his one man
show Labour Party. We told Nigerians then
and they went ahead to vote for Jonathan aka
Mr. No Shoe when he was removing shoes
from their legs on Jan 1 of this year they were
all crying and telling them he doesn't give a
darm. So Ondo State people have tolled the
same part time will tell.

Shame on Tinubu.The days of ACN
dominance in SW are numbered.We will
continue to educate people that have been
brainwashed by these regressive
thieves.Tinubu is so arrogant,Fashola who
once sacked all his doctors is more
arrogant.Aregbesola is another arrogant semi-
literate.The wellbred Fayemi is also
metarmorphosising into an unbriddled
personality.Ajumobi and Amosun are too
docile.ACN thinks it has monopolised media
propaganda,we are ready to use our brain &
exposure to work against that.To hell with
this Association of Corrupt Nonentities.
Shame on u Tinubu,the drug-baron.Lagos
will reject you soon no matter your 'juju'

Five feared dead as boat capsizes in Bayelsa

Five persons were feared dead on Saturday in the Akenfa suburb of
Yenagoa, Bayelsa State when canoes transporting passengers capsized,
eyewitnesses said.

Witnesses told the News Agency of Nigeria in Yenagoa that the tragedy
occurred when the two canoes, transporting persons from Akenfa III to
Akenfa I, capsized on the Epie Creek at about 8a.m.

NAN reports that the accident is one of the major disasters recorded
due to the ravaging flood in the state in the past three weeks.

Witnesses said the two canoes collided close to where they were
supposed to have berthed at Akenfa I due to panic by the passengers.

NAN learnt that the five persons, who had yet to be rescued from the
creek, included a woman with a baby strapped on her back. A NAN
correspondent who visited the scene reports that a large crowd was
seen at banks of the Epie Creek at Akenfa III, the take-off point, and
Akenfa I, the destination.

Meanwhile some officials of the Federal Road Safety Commission who
said they had received a distress call, added that the Nigerian Navy
had been notified due to the commission's handicap.

Meanwhile, the Bayelsa State Police Command's Public Relations
Officer, DSP Fidelis Odunna, who confirmed the incident, however, said
that three persons and the driver
of one of the canoes, were missing.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel are now husband and wife.

Two of Hollywood's hottest stars have said arrivederci to the single
life. After five years together, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
tied the knot Friday in a top-secret ceremony at a posh seaside resort
in the southern Italian city of Fasano.

"It's great to be married, the ceremony was beautiful and it was so
special to be surrounded by our family and friends," the couple told
People magazine.

Celebrity VIPs reportedly included "Saturday Night Live" comic Andy
Samberg, late-night host Jimmy Fallon, rapper Timbaland and Biel's
"7th Heaven" on-screen sister Beverly Mitchell.

Timberlake, 31, and Biel, 30, kept the details of their big day
closely guarded, even withholding the ceremony's location from guests
until shortly before they arrived at the intimate spot nestled between
the blue Adriatic sea and ancient groves of green olive trees.

They finally spoke their vows before an estimated 80 loved ones in the
church on the grounds of the five- star Borgo Egnazia resort,
Celebuzz.com reported.

The genetically blessed couple got engaged last December when
Timberlake popped the question during a holiday getaway in Jackson
Hole, Wyo.

Giving Timberlake a smooch, showed off her massive engagement ring at
a NBA Playoffs game on May 12.

Biel's custom vintage-style engagement ring, featuring a square-cut
center stone, was first spotted at a Los Angeles Lakers game last
spring.

"He is fearless in his choices and has a real eye for design," Biel,
who previously dated Yankees star Derek Jeter, told InStyle magazine
in July.

"She's a really, really, really special person," Timberlake told
reporters at a recent press conference to promote his new flick,
"Trouble with the Curve," co-starring Clint Eastwood.

All the guests were taken to Italy on a private plane flown out of New
York, HollywoodLife.com reported. This is the first marriage for the
new spouses. Timberlake previously dated actress Cameron Diaz and
singer Britney Spears.

Lindsay Lohan 'Needs Help' Says Dad Michael: 'I'm Not Going To Watch Her Die'

Michael Lohan showed up unexpectedly to Lindsay's Beverly Hills home
on Friday in an attempt to stage an intervention with the embattled
actress, and he exclusively tells RadarOnline.com she needs help and
he refuses to watch his daughter die.

"Lindsay needs help. She's around all the wrong people," Michael said.

"I'm not going to stand for this anymore. She has to get better. I'm
not going to watch my daughter die."

According to Michael, Lindsay has been dating a personal trainer in
Los Angeles named Josh Chunn, and he was in full compliance with
Michael's attempt to get his daughter help.

"A lot of people tried to stage the intervention with me. She is
dating a guy named Josh Chunn and he told me, 'I feel the same way you
do. I can't take it. They're destroying her life,'" Michael told
RadarOnline.com.

"Lindsay called the cops for trespassing but they opened the gates for
us to come up When we were leaving she threw Josh out and we picked
him up in the car and he spilled the beans about everything she is
doing."

Michael says Lindsay's entire camp is fed up with her downward spiral
and everybody knows she needs help.

"Her whole team has had it with her. All of them want to her to get
treatment," Michael said.

"I will keep putting pressure on her like I did before until she gets
help. She is not going to get better without help and she needs
treatment and help now."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, police showed up at Lindsay's
home on Friday afternoon after a trespassing call was made on Michael
while he tried to stage an intervention.

ACHEBE- THERE WAS A COUNTRY: WHY HAUSA-FULANIS, YORUBAS HATE IGBOS

Africa's literary giant and celebrated writer Chinua Achebe, has
claimed that Nigerians, especially the Hausa/Fulanis and the Yorubas,
do not like the Igbos because of their cultural ideology that
emphasizes 'change, individualism and competitiveness.'


He made this claim in his new book, There was a Country, which has
generated controversy for his onslaught on the role of Obafemi Awolowo
as the federal commissioner of finance during the Nigeria civil war.
He accused Awolowo of genocide and imposition of food blockade on
Biafra, a claim that has drawn rebuttals and contradictions of
emotional intensity from some southwest leaders and commentators.

"I have written in my small book entitled The Trouble with Nigeria
that Nigerians will probably achieve consensus on no other matter than
their common resentment of the Igbo," he wrote under the heading, A
History of Ethnic Tension and Resentment. He traced the origin of "the
national resentment of the Igbo" to its culture that "gave the Igbo
man an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots in securing
credentials for advancement in Nigerian colonial society."

He observed that the Igbo culture's emphasis on change, individualism
and competitiveness gave his ethnic group an edge over the
Hausa/Fulani man who was hindered by a "wary religion" and the Yoruba
man who was hampered by" traditional hierarchies."

He therefore described the Igbo, who are predominantly Catholic, as
"fearing no god or man, was "custom-made to grasp the opportunities,
such as they were, of the white man's dispensations. And the Igbo did
so with both hands."

He delved into history with his claim, asserting that the Igbo
overcame the earlier Yoruba advantage within two decades earlier in
the twentieth century.

"Although the Yoruba had a huge historical and geographical head
start, the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of
energy in the twenty years between 1930 and 1950."

He narrated the earlier advantage of Yoruba as contingent on their
location on the coastline, but once the missionaries crossed the
Niger, the Igbo took advantage of the opportunity and overtook the
Yoruba.

'The increase was so exponential in such a short time that within
three short decades the Igbos had closed the gap and quickly moved
ahead as the group with the highest literacy rate, the highest
standard of living, and the greatest of citizens with postsecondary
education in Nigeria," he contended.

He said Nigerian leadership should have taken advantage of the gbo
talent and this failure was partly responsible for the failure of the
Nigerian state, explaining further that competitive individualism and
the adventurous spirit of the Igbo was a boon Nigerian leaders failed
to recognize and harness for modernization.

"Nigeria's pathetic attempt to crush these idiosyncrasies rather than
celebrate them is one of the fundamental reasons the country has not
developed as it should and has emerged as a laughingstock," he
claimed.

He noted that the ousting of prominent Igbos from top offices was a
ploy to achieve a simple and crude goal. He said what the Nigerians
wanted was to "get the achievers out and replace them with less
qualified individuals from the desired ethnic background so as to gain
access to the resources of the state."

Achebe, however, saved some criticisms for his kinsmen. He criticised
them for what he described as "hubris, overweening pride and
thoughtlessness, which invite envy and hatred or even worse that can
obsess the mind with material success and dispose it to all kinds of
crude showiness."

He added that "contemporary Igbo behavior (that) can offend by its
noisy exhibitionism and disregard for humility and quietness.

While Chika Ike was named as the Best Actress (English), Lizzy Anjorin

According to Ibrahim Adeduntan, who is the CEO of the awards, he said,

Popular Singer, St. Janet, Finds Her New Husband in Bed with Her Daughter

Despite her musical success, St Janet 's happiness on the home front
is fast turning into nightmares barely two months after marrying her
heartthrob, Olukayode Samuel Iyun who
incidentally is her bandmanager.

It was gathered that the stocky built singer has packed out of her
matrimonial home following a shocking discovery by her about her
husband sleeping with one of her daughters. The girl (name withheld)
from St Janet 's previous marriage was reported to have spent the last
holiday with her mother and step-father at their Ilapo Estate,
Alagbado home.

St Janet was said to be happy at the opportunity of being reunited
with her daughter who was before then staying with one of her
relations.

Unfortunately, her joy soon turned into despair as rumours started
making the rounds about an amorous relationship between her daughter
and her new husband.

All doubts about her suspicion were cleared recently when she
allegedly caught her husband making love to her daughter whose age was
put around 16 right inside her matrimonial home.

Sources close to the musician said the despicable act had thrown St
Janet off-balance and dejected and she has swore never to forgive her
man, Kay, as her husband is fondly called.

It was learnt that the development has forced the lewd singer to move
out of her matrimonial home as she could not bear the shame which the
incident had brought upon her. It was also disclosed that St Janet has
temporarily moved to an hotelwithin the neighbourhood to fend off
contact with Kay.

To say St Janet is enraged by the ugly incident is to say the least,
she is completely devastated as she reportedly cancelled all
engagements for about two weeks ostensibly to recover from the rude
shock, a source added.

However, a close source to the singer is trying to down play the
shameful incident. He said the only problem between the St Janet and
her husband is a minor misunderstanding that might be resolved soon.

Tragedy. : Ex-Corp and Girl Friend Killed By Unknown Gun Men

Two weeks after four students of the University of Port Harcourt
(UNIPORT) in a Omuokiri, Aluu, another tragedy struck in another host
community of the institution as unknown gunmen killed another student
of the school, his girlfriend and an ex-National Youth Corps member.

The incident occurred at Rumuchakara village in Choba community, the
major host community of the university.

THISDAY gathered that the former corp member, who only passed out on
Thursday, decided to celebrate his graduation from the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) with his friends.

The ex-corps member was said to have gone out with the two friends to
celebrate his graduation from the service and were returning from the
outing when the car they were driving
in skidded off the road and ran into a shop in the village.

Though no life was lost after the accident, an argument was said to
have ensued between the owner of the shop and the occupants of the
car.

It was at that point that some men in an SUV arrived at the scene of
the incident and opened fire on the crowd, killing the ex-corps
member, the UNIPORT student and his girl friend,
killing them instantly.

According to an eyewitness, who would not wish to be named, "The corps
member and his friends were drunk while driving and their vehicle ran
into a shop. There was a serious argument between them and the owner
of the shop.

"Within a short time, a group of men in an SUV came out and opened
fire on the three persons, who died on the spot.

The gunmen immediately drove away without any challenge." The names of
those killed by the unknown gunmen could not be ascertained as at the
time of filing this report.

Reacting to the incident, the UNIPORT Public Relations Officer, Dr.
Williams Wodi, said the university was shut down while students were
asked to leave the hostels and go back to their various homes.

Wodi explained that the reason for such directive was for the
management of the institution to re-evaluate the security situation on
campus, adding that he was not in a position to
speak for students expected to be currently under their parents' care.

Confirming the incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer,
Mr. Ben Ugwuegbulam, said security agencies had begun investigations
into the matter.

Ugwuegbulam said the incident occurred around 9.30pm on Thursday. He
assured the public that those behind the killings would be apprehended
and brought to justice.

Lagos Trader Claims Being 7-Month Pregnant For Funke Akindele's Husband, Almaroof **Expects 8th Child From Wives

A Lagos-based soft-sell magazine E247 reported that a Lagos-based
trader identified as Modinat Nike Dada, who is in her 30's, has
claimed to be seven months pregnant for the
husband of pretty actress, Funke Akindele, Almaroof Oloyede Kehinde
popularly known as Kendo in Oshodi area of Lagos State.

According to the woman, her romantic affair with Almaroof started
after she moved with her sister, who is a tenant in one of Almaroof's
shops in Oshodi.

After her first marriage to one Dayo, Modinat, a mother of two, went
to her elder sister who sells cloth at Oshodi to continue with her
life. It was there Modinat also called Mama Dayo reportedly met
Almaroof. One thing led to the other, a romantic affair began between
them.

The magazine reported that in a desperate effort to become pregnant
for Almaroof before marriage, both Modinat and Almaroof visited some
spiritualists to help out. So, when the
already pregnant woman heard about Funke Akindele's marriage to
Almaroof in the media, she became devastated.

It was also reported that Modinat has been put under pressure to keep

the dead bones it will make to wake up. The magazine further reported
that several sources from Funke Akindele have warned Modinat not to
expose the story and was reportedly promised juicy offers as a reward
