Patience Jonathan lied against me –Amaechi

Mrs. Patience Jonathan The Rivers State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, on Friday said the wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, lied against him in her public account of the misunderstanding between him and the President’s wife a few weeks ago. The governor spoke in Port Harcourt when clergymen of the Niger Delta Bishops Forum paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House. He said it was important for the public to have a true picture of what transpired between him and the President’s wife. He said, “I want to be put on record that the wife of the President said when my wife came to beg me, I pushed her away. I have never quarrelled with my wife publicly and I will never quarrel with my wife publicly. “There was no time I pushed my wife away and there is no time I will push my wife away. I just want to correct that so that nobody goes away with the impression that somebody told my wife, ‘go and talk to your husband, s

NDLEA in secret investigation of celebrity drug traffickers

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency is taking covert steps to monitor specific Nigerian celebrities moving in and out of the country. Spokesperson for the NDLEA, Mitchell Ofoyeju, who dropped the hint during a telephone interview with our correspondent on Thursday, did not reveal the names of such celebrities. He was reacting to reports that some people in the entertainment industry find it easy to traffic drugs in and out of the country. Ofoyeju said, “We have some people we are working on but it is not for us to say who is under our surveillance. The purpose of the investigation will become defeated. We have some credible leads that we are working on. “This is not to say the NDLEA is relaxing its surveillance on ordinary Nigerians or other categories of travellers to ensure the eradication of drug trafficking in this country. “You need to remember that the agency is an elite organisation that works basically through investigation. We don’t totally discountenance rumour

Barcelona's Cesc Fabregas 'to make Manchester United choice'

Barcelona manager Gerardo Martino has given Manchester United fresh hope in their pursuit of Cesc Fabregas by admitting part of the decision about a move rests with the midfielder. The Spanish champions have already rejected bids of £25m and £30m from United for the former Arsenal captain. The Red Devils are now weighing up a third attempt to secure his signature. Martino said: "I would prefer him to stay with us and I dare say he will, but it's his decision." “He is one of the best players in the squad. I think he will stay. But there's a part that he has to decide” Gerardo Martino Barca's hierarchy have always been adamant that Fabregas will not be allowed to leave, but Martino's latest comments carried a significantly softer tone. Speaking after his team's 8-0 friendly thrashing of Brazilian side Santos at the Nou Camp on Friday, the recently appointed Martino said: "I had a short chat with him and told him what I think. "Ce

Oboabona would’ve failed Arsenal trial – Chukwu

Oboabona Former Super Eagles coach Christian Chukwu has backed  the decision by Godfrey Oboabona to refuse  to undergo a trial with Arsenal before signing him. Chukwu believes the Eagles defender would have failed the test. Oboabona on Sunday fired a broadside at the Premier League giants, accusing the Gunners of disrespecting Nigerian clubs, after he was offered a trial at the club. “Arsenal’s management told me to come for a trial when I won the Africa Cup of Nations,” The Sun quoted  the 22-year-old centre-back  as saying. “I think I should be above such requests. It is high time some of these clubs started respecting Nigeria.” Sunshine Stars General Manager Mike Idoko stoked the fire on Wednesday when he accused  Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger  of attempting to undervalue the player. Speaking to our correspondent on the telephone during the week, Chukwu said Oboabona would have been rejected by Arsenal  because big European clubs don’t believe in African defenders. T

APGA crisis not over — Factional chair

Maxi Okwu | credits: File copy A leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, Mr. Maxi Okwu, who was elected the party’s national chairman, has faulted reports that his faction of the party had reconciled with the faction led by Victor Umeh, who is recognised as the national chairman by the Independent National Electoral Commission. He said the reconciliation between Umeh and the Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, was driven by personal interest in the forthcoming governorship election in the state and did not mean the APGA crisis had ended. AsB was told that he still stood on the April convention, where he was elected national chairman and would not accept Umeh as the national chairman of APGA. He said, “APGA has not reconciled. It is only Obi and Umeh that reconciled, but that is not APGA. Other leaders of the party, including me, were not carried along. Of course Obi and Umeh are two prominent players, they can attract attention but they alone don’t make up APGA. “I

Photo: Is This Stick-On InvisiBra The Ultimate Strapless & Backless Bra?

Shoppers at London's busy Regent Street were treated to the sight of 10 women striding down the street wearing blue jeans, high heels… and very little else. The stunt was part of the promotion of InvisiBra: a new strapless, backless bra that all the women were wearing to maintain their dignity. The bra claims to be a backless, strapless, self-adhesive bra that will lift and enhance cleavage but won't slip off. I know the guys would love this one because its easier for them to take off!
