ABSU RAPE
THEYmet the victim on the 2go social network and probably they later agreed to hook-up which eventually led to the gang-raping of the victim.
I have never seen a rape scene before but this is the first & one of the worse scene that I’ve ever seen in my life, it really pains me from within and i felt so sad and sorry for the girl. i bet there is no mother who would see such video without weeping.
The victim is a female student of Abia State University who was gang-raped by 5 boys from the same Abia State University exactly on Aug 16th(Tuesday) , 2011. Thee scene originally lasted for more than an hour on video which was recorded by the culprits themselves as they took their turn on their victim.
Originally she was said to have offended one of the boys whom she insulted and that’s why she was been punished.
The scene began with a fight-back from the girl which she unfortunately could not get any upper-hand, followed by series of beatings and torture from tthe boys, also giving her death threats if she eventually proves stubborn again. The girl already had cried her eyes out and was later pleading with them, it got to a stage where she had to beg them to be killed saying “you people should just kill me” , she also pleaded to them that her aunty would have been looking for her that she wants to go and meet her. One of the boys replied saying “e be like say you no know who i be, i’m an IT student and i will drop you off with my car”, she kept pleading both in Igbo and English language, one of the boys even threatened to lock her in the room and keep on raping her for the next two days if she failed to co-operate with them, still they kept on taking turns and changing positions on her while she kept begging to be killed that she can’t bear the pain anymore.
Names were mentioned in the video and unclearly if i’m not mistaken the names of the 5 gang-rapists were UCHENNA, ZAKI, IFEANYI/UGBAANYI, WISDOM and the last guy was CHISOM, one of them according to voices in the video is a 400level Law student and one of them is an IT student. Only the girls face can be clearly seen in the video while the boys avoided theirs in the course of recording.
This girl is an human beign like you and i, so why on earth must she be treated like an animal all in the name of punishing her, as at the time of my blogging about this incident i believe there is no more online link to the video of this rape as the matter has gotten to the highest power of government in the state, that is to the executive governor of Abia state who has ordered a quick investigation of the incident and arrest of the culprits.
This girl is a future mother of some kids, a future wife of somebody, i believe she has friends or anybody around the campus who in one way or the other may know these culprits, immediate reports should please be made to reduce the tension of this stigma from the innocent girl."
The Rapists have been declared wanted: N200,000 Reward for Useful information provided to apprehend them
We all heard about the heinous rape of a young girl purportedly by 5 students of Abia State University. The supposed students made a video of the crime which eventually made its way to the Internet. People expressed outrage at the rape but few could do anything about it. So I decided to offer a financial reward to anyone who could provide information that would lead to the arrest of the suspects. A few other Twitter friends who were as incensed as I was are also chipping in. For the sake of their privacy, I won’t mention their names.
So if you have any information that can lead to the arrest and prosecution of all five suspects please send an email to info@eienigeria.org The identity of anyone who provides such information will be protected. The reward for providing this information is N200,000 (two hundred thousand Naira). You can read the tweet at my Twitter handle @OKshorty1

GOVS’ CALL FOR REMOVAL OF SUBSIDY: Petrol may sell for N120 per litre •Governors are inviting anarchy and we will resist it -NLC
FEELERS in the oil industry indicate that Nigerians may start buying petrol for between N110 and N120 per litre, if President Goodluck Jonathan bows to the current pressure
on him for the removal of oil subsidy.
A source in the oil industry told Nigerian Tribune that the call by state governors for the removal of the subsidy as a precondition to pay the N18,000 new minimum wage was a climax to intense political manouevre in the corridors of power over the subsidy saga.
The source said the call by the governor was only meant to sell a dummy to members of the public with a view to gauging public pulse on the contentious issue.
According to the source, who pleaded anonymity, only the president could make a formal announcement on the withdrawal, since he is yet to name a substantive petroleum minister.
He added apart from the president, only a substantive petroleum minister and not the management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) could announce the removal of the subsidy, if he deemed it necessary.
The source said: “There is no way Nigerians will buy fuel for less than N110 per litre if the subsidy is removed as long as the current price of crude oil in the international market hovers between $95 and $110 per barrel.”
The source claimed the feeling in the official circles was to gauge the pulse of Nigerians before possibly bowing to the governors’ demand.
Meanwhile, a legal practitioner and activist, Mr Festus Keyamo, lambasted the governor for making such a demand and even making it a pre-condition to peg the new salary for workers.
He accused them of taking delight at pilfering public fund at the expense of offering good governance and serving the people that elected them into office.
“Their call is very unpatriotic because that money they have been stealing is public fund. They should use that money that they have been stealing to pay their workers. They must pay the new minimum wage,” Keyamo fumed.
He likened the demand of the governors to robbing Peter to pay Paul and declared that Nigerians should frustrate the plot.
“What they are trying to do is that at the end of the day, they will increase the salary of workers while at the same time reducing the purchasing power of the people, because of the predictable ripple effects of removing the oil subsidy. Nigerians should resist it by mass action,” he stated.
However, the organised labour warned on Thursday that the state governors were inviting anarchy and unprecedented crisis in the country should President Jonathan acceed to their suggestion that the subsidy on petroleum products should be removed in order to bring more money to their purse to pay the new minimum wage.
The two labour unions in the country, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) vowed to resist such a move and lead the rest of Nigerians to also resist it.
Speaking with Nigerian Tribune on Thursday night, the Acting General Secretary of the NLC, Comrade Owei Lakemfa, and the President General of TUC, Comrade Peter Esele, said the two issues, minimum wage and fuel subsidy did not align and one cannot affect the other.
Comrade Lakemfa, who emphasised that the NLC would use everything in its power to lead Nigerians to resist it said: “Nigerians are already suffering, there are more poverty in the country. People are hungry and there are no social services. Should the government go ahead to remove subsidy, it will lead to fuel price increase.
“To add to the burden might be an attempt to ignite crisis. The Federal Government is advised to ignore the evil advice and suggestion by the governors.
“The governors want more money to share by placing additional burdens on the hapless and poverty stricken Nigerians. They want to over-burden the people. This is not the best way to increase money to the state government’s purse.
“For the governors to look for more money by adding money to the petroleum products price is not acceptable, they should rather be innovative to generate more money.
“Again, they must start paying the minimum wage with effect from April 2011. The NLC advise the federal, state, and local government, as well as other employers of labour who have more than 50 employees to start paying now because, if they delay, the arrears will be too much.”
The TUC president-general, Peter Esele, said “the issue of subsidy and minimum wage do not align at all. Minimum wage is law. The two cannot align at all and we believe they must obey the law.”
A former senator, Olorunnimbe Mamora, frowned on the call because of the multiplier effects of its removal, adding that if fuel subsidy was removed, it would cause social upheaval.
Senator Olabiyi Durojaye, in his claim, said if the government should remove the oil subsidy, the burden would be passed over to the masses.
Meanwhile, the Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) has urged the Federal Government to publish the amount it spent on petrol subsidy.
The president of the LCCI, Chief Femi Deru, who made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Thursday, said the citizens were in the dark over the level of its involvement.

Nursing mother जिलेद.
Mother of a two-month-old baby was yesterday sentenced to 60 days imprisonment by an Abuja magistrate court for collecting under false pretence N978, 000 from one Asogwa Festus.
She was, however, given an option of N10,000 fine, and asked to refund money to the owner.
The convict, Mrs. Philomena Iruobe of Kuje area council, old NEPA road, Abuja, was alleged to have collected N1.4m from the complainant, Asogwa Festus, as daily contribution between 2009 and 2010, but instead of remitting the money to his bank account, she converted it to her personal use.
Police Prosecutor, Ibeto Patrick, told the court that the complainant reported the matter to the police on May 12, 2011, that the accused introduced herself as a staff of Oceanic Life Assurance Ltd, Abuja.

Uwazuruike, MASSOB leader threatens: I may join Boko Haram
The leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has threatened that his group may abandon its non-violent approach and toe the line of the Boko Haram since the Federal Government understands the language of violence.
Uwazuruike, in an exclusive interview with Daily Sun in Owerri at the weekend said both groups were calling for the division of the country in different ways, saying while the Boko Haram adopted violence approach to press their demands, the latter (MASSOB) engaged in non-violent method to achieve the same objective.
According to him, it had taken MASSOB over 12 years preaching the gospel of Biafra sovereignty through non-violence, government had not deemed it necessary to invite the group for discussion but regretted that within a short space of time of the Islamic group’s bomb attack across the country, government had extended olive branch to it. “I congratulate them because it has taken me more than 12 years to preach the same language that they are saying today that Nigeria needs to be divided at least between Christians and Moslems, but the Federal Government has ignored me for 12 years.”
“Now, within a very short space of time the Boko Haram people have said the same thing I was saying through non-violence, the Federal Government has invited them and of which the group, (Boko Haram) has ignored the government and continue what they are doing.” The MASSOB leader made it clear that if he had his way, the group would join the Boko Haram and the entire nation would be in flames, since it was the only language the Federal Government understood.
“I am telling you that if I have my way now, I will join the Boko Haram and the entire country will turn into crisis, since it is what the Federal Government wants. I am saying it today that, I congratulate the Boko Haram people and I wish they will continue in their efforts and if I have my way, I will join them.” He regretted that, whenever the MASSOB embarked on a peaceful demonstration, government, through its security agencies would clamp down on them, even maiming and killing them in the process.

श्रीड्ण्टीऴ VISIT
Jonathan visits Yar’adua
L-R: Wife of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, Hajia Turai; President Goodluck Jonathan; Mima Yar‘Adua, Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State; and First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, during the President’s condolence visit to the Yar’Adua’s family, in Katsina… on Saturday
President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday visited the family of the late Umaru Yar‘Adua in Katsina, pledging to continue to implement his predecessor‘s policies and programmes.
Accomplishing this, Jonathan said, would be the greatest respect his administration would give in memory of Yar‘Adua who died in the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday night.
Jonathan who was dressed in light chocolate kaftan and flowing babariga with a dark brown cap, arrived at the Katsina International Airport at about 10:56 am aboard a Nigerian Air Force Presidential jet marked 5N-FGS in company with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Alhaji Yayale Ahmed; Senate President, David Mark, the governors of Delta (Emmanuel Uduaghan), Lagos (Babatunde Fashola), Kwara (Bukola Saraki) and Zamfara (Mahmud Aliyu Shinkafi).
Also on the president‘s entourage were the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Odein Ajumogobia and Nigeria‘s High Commissioner to South Africa, Buba Marwa as well as other top government functionaries.
Security was, however, tight from the airport to the family home of the late president even as it took some time before Jonathan‘s heavily guarded sleek black Mercedes Benz pulled up outside the Yar’Adua’s house.
Jonathan attended the third day prayer session led by the Chief Imam of Katsina Central Mosque, Liman Aliyu Abba, and Liman Ibrahim Sabiu Jibia of Jibia Jumat Mosque from 11.28 to 11.45 am.
The president who was received into the Yar‘Adua family house amid the outpouring of emotions and shedding of tears by sympathizers told the mother of the late president, Hajia Dada, that the sudden death of her son had left him traumatised.
He described the late president as a patriot and a man of honour, respect, and humility.
The president told Hajia Dada who was shedding tears profusely and the former First Lady, Hajia Turai, that the contributions of Yar‘Adua to the nation‘s socio-economic development would remain indelible on the sands of time.
Jonathan and his wife, Patience, who had earlier arrived at the Yar‘Adua family home met with Turai and her children in a room where they also met former first ladies, including Mrs. Ajoke Murtala Muhammad, Hajiya Maryam Abacha and Justice Fatima Abdulsalami Abubakar.
Signing the condolence register, Jonathan wrote, ”It is sad to express my feelings over the death of my boss, my brother, my friend who asked me to join him to run the affairs of this country will leave me behind at this time. I lack words to express my personal feelings, God knows. May his soul rest in peace.”
Thousands of mourners who had besieged the Yar‘Adua family house for the third prayer hailed the visiting president who was dressed in pink traditional Hausa attire and donning a cap.
The prayer session was led by the Chief Imam of Jibiya Mosque, Mallam Ibrahim Sabiu.
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Yayale Ahmed, also offered prayers on behalf of President Jonathan while commiserating with Yar‘Adua‘s mother in the inner room.
Later at the palace of the Emir of Katsina, Jonathan said he enjoyed good working relationship with his late predecessor.
Responding, the Emir, Alhaji Abdul Muminu Kabir Usman, thanked the president for the visit and advised him to carry every part of the country along in his administration of the affairs of the country.

* Sir Jonathan, don’t listen to that ex–convict OBJ. I hope u saw how ur late boss obeyed and respected the judiciary? Don’t allow OBJ to spoil ur government as he did during his own tenure. Becos, there is no difference between OBJ and Babaginda. No ex–soldier should be allowed to be the civilian President of this great country. Military life and political life experiences are two different institutions entirely .

* Sir Jonathan, don’t listen to that ex–convict OBJ. I hope u saw how ur late boss obeyed and respected the judiciary? Don’t allow OBJ to spoil ur government as he did during his own tenure. Becos, there is no difference between OBJ and Babaginda. No ex–soldier should be allowed to be the civilian President of this great country. Military life and political life experiences are two different institutions entirely .

* Beware Mr. President!!, it is easy to derail from the genuin plan you have asked God to give you in order to heal this Nation as we have seen of few past leaders. The cabals are still very much around and will try to cause you pains and difficulties. Don’t go witch hunting but rely solely on God to help and deliver you from the cabals...the Lord will be your PILLER and STRENGHT...AMEN and best of LUCK...
