Mother killed while separating her sons who were fighting in Abuja

 

A woman identified as Zainab Ibrahim has died while separating a fight that ensued between her two sons, Inusa and Usman, at the Kpaduma II area of Asokoro in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on Saturday, May 13.

 

 Punch reports that although the cause of the fight could not be ascertained, it was gathered that Inusa mistakenly macheted his mother on her left hand during the fight.

 

A resident of the area who gave his name as Saliu Shehu said Zainab was rushed to a private hospital where she died.

 

“The two brothers are of the same parents. They were engaging in a serious fight. Their mother came in and tried to separate them. Inusa, however, left and went to bring a machete with which he intended to use on his brother in the process, he mistakenly cut his mother on her left hand. She was taken to a private hospital where she died.”

 

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the FCT police command, SP Josephine Adeh, said Inusa is at large, adding that investigation is ongoing on the matter.

 

 

“We received a distress call and rushed to the scene. The mother was taken to the hospital where she was confirmed dead. Usman is in custody while Inusa is at large. An investigation is, however, ongoing on the matter.”Adeh said

'We will do everything we can to bring Lionel Messi back': Barcelona president Joan Laporta insists

 

Barcelona president, Joan Laporta has said he will do everything in his power to bring Lionel Messi back this summer.

Messi is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain in the summer when his contract expires, and is still considering his next move.

However, Barcelona's financial situation means a lot will have to come into place for a move to materialise.

The Catalan giants must lower their wage bill by a reported £180m if they are to make any significant signings.

And Laporta has said the club will do whatever it takes, telling Jijantes FC that 'we will do everything we can to bring Leo Messi back to Barcelona.'

He continued: 'We are already working on next year's team. We hope to be able to reinforce the team,' he said.

'We are in an austerity plan at the club to be able to have enough fair-play to allow us to improve the team. We are doing our homework to be able to have an even more competitive team next season.'

Laporta also paid tribute to Xavi, who has now won the league in Spain as both a player and a manager following Barcelona's 4-2 win against Espanyol on Sunday.

'Xavi has been decisive. Apart from his knowledge of football, he has knowledge of the institution, of the style,' he added.

'He has worked hard so that we can offer quality football. He has been decisive. He deserves congratulations. We have a great coach. We are very happy.'

Napoli aim to break salary structure to retain Victor Osimhen

 

Napoli are reportedly ready to break the club salary structure to keep Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen, in an attempt to ward off interests from European clubs.

 

According to Sunday’s edition of La Repubblica (as per Tutto Napoli), the newly crowned Serie A champions are considering a Cavani-style arrangement to retain Osimhen for another season.

 

The proposed formula involves offering the striker a substantial increase in salary and the promise of a future transfer at the end of next season.

 

This approach would deviate from Napoli’s usual salary structure, which is capped at €3.5m net.

 

Osimhen’s exceptional performances and potential have prompted Napoli to consider this exception to their wage policy.

“The idea is a Cavani-style formula: to renew with a substantial increase and the “promise” of a sale at the end of next season,” the website wrote.

“Osimhen could represent the exception to the rule of wages fixed €3.5m net. The scenario, however, cannot exclude a maxi offer. Napoli has set a very high price, around €150m. If the indecent offer were to arrive, it would be normal to make evaluations.”

 

The report will come as a big blow to suitors especially Chelsea, who are believed to have their first move to secure Osimhen’s services, proposing a player-plus-cash deal.

 

The 24-year-old Nigerian was instrumental to Napoli’s first title win in 33 years, scoring 23 league goals from 29 appearances.

A Nigerian lawyer has narrated how a lady told her husband she's no longer in love after he sponsored her nursing education in the U.K.

 

According to @BolanleCole, the lady said she doesn't want to be in a marriage where there is no love even though her husband catered for her needs and that of her family. 

 

He tweeted;

 

"Am No Longer in Love. Nigerian Woman Laments, Loses Interest in Husband after He Sponsored Her to the UK. The lady said she can't explain why she does not love her husband anymore but would not want to remain in a marriage where there is no love. She appealed to people to advise her on what to do. 

“The woman said it was her husband who told her to study nursing in Nigeria and partly sponsored her studies. The nurse added that he also catered for her needs and that of her family and was responsible for doing her travel documents. Things are happening.”

Falz fires back at Bashir El-Rufai and others who criticized him for undergoing a knee surgery in UK instead of Nigeria

 

Singer Falz has fired back at Governor Nasir El-Rufai's son, Bashir El-Rufai and others who criticized him for undergoing a knee surgery in UK instead of Nigeria. 

 

Bashir and some supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress had accused Falz of hypocrisy for allegedly doing what he criticizes Nigerian leaders of doing. 

 

Reacting to this, Falz said they are being audacious with stupidity, adding that they are so desperate for “ammunition” which is why they are latching on to his knee surgery gist. 

 

The singer also retweeted a follower's tweet accusing Bashir's father and others of failing to build good hospitals that'll cater for the health needs of citizens.

DR JOSEPH WHY NA .....Kwara police parade medical doctor who allegedly sedates and rapes his patients

The Kwara state Police Command on Friday, May 12, paraded a medical doctor identified as Ayodele Joseph who allegedly specialize in sedating and raping patients in his hospital in Ilorin, the state capital.

 

Parading the suspect at the Police headquarters in Ilorin, the state Commissioner of Police, Paul Odama, said on the 5th of May, a female victim (Name Withheld) who is a nurse by profession reported to the Police that she went to Ayodele’s Hospital located in the  Sawmill Area, Lagos Road, Ilorin for a surgery. Odama said the victim said that during her treatment, Ayodele sedated her, making her unconscious. The victim said before the sedation, she turned on her telephone and placed it in a vantage position to record the surgery unknown to the doctor.

 

 

He explained that the victim said that she woke up from sleep after the surgery to find out she was fully naked, adding that when viewing the recorded video, she discovered that the said Dr. Ayodele Joseph had unlawful sexual intercourse with her while under sedation.

 

The Commissioner noted that the investigation led to the recovery of the video recording of the sexual action of the said doctor on the victim and was supported by the result from medical examinations conducted on the victim.

 

The police boss added Ayodele is also being arraigned in court by the Police over unprofessional conduct which resulted in the death of one Nneka Akanike at his hospital.

 

ABEG READ LETTER OF PRESIDENT GEORGE WEAH TO VICTOR OSIMHEN. WONDERFUL

hahaha...so lovely.

WOW....ABEG READ THE HUMBLE BEGINNING OF VICTOR OSIMHEN

THE GUY ON GREEN

- He lost his mother at a young age

- His father lost his job 3 months after he lost his wife

- He sold pure water on the streets of Lagos

- He was rejected by many clubs but today is one of BEST players in the world and it started with 15 MINUTES!

He was barely 13 when he lost his mum and as if that wasn't enough, 3months after losing his mum,his father lost his job.

His father losing his job meant them moving from a 2 bedroom flat to a SELF CONTAIN, now imagine 8 people living in a self contain apartment.

A TOUGH START!

He was the last amongst 7 kids but he didn’t get the special treatment given to “Last Borns” in Nigerian homes.

He rather joined his elder siblings in hustling to make sure they survived, he hawked “Pure water” along Ojota road, Lagos State.

A BORN HUSTLER!

His siblings sold newspapers & sold oranges on the street, it was a family united in making sure they survived.

He lived in one of Lagos state’s biggest refuse dump sites in Olusosun but that didn't stop the young boy from dreaming, in fact he dreamt big!

DREAM BIG, IT’S FREE!

His father wanted him to become a doctor but he dropped out of school to pursue his dream of becoming a footballer and his father supported him.

He played street football and was a youth player of the then Ultimate Strikers Academy, but he never played.

PERSONALIZE YOUR DREAM!

In 2014 at age 16 he went for the Nigeria Under-17 team screening held in Abuja by coach Amuneke.

More than 2million players were in the Abuja stadium and they were both given 15 MINUTES to impress.

In 15 MINUTES he scored 2 goals!

“LUCK IS WHEN OPPORTUNITY MEETS PREPARATION”

It wasn’t enough as the tired Amuneke sent him and the others away.

But as they left, he heard Nigeria team doctor telling the coach Amuneke to try out "The guy on green"

Coach Amuneke turned and called out "The guy on green!!!", he turned because he wore green, ran back and the coach teased him saying, “You no dey chop?, why you lean like this, sit down!".

“MAY OUR DESTINY HELPERS NEVER MISS US”

And that was how he got selected into the Under-17 WC team, he later went on to win the following;

• 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup

• 2015 FIFA U-17 Golden Boot (Highest Goal Scorer)

• 2015 FIFA Silver shoe award (Second Best Player)

Then the European bigs clubs came calling.

THE BEGINNING OF BIGGER THINGS.

On January 5th 2017 he signed for the German club, Wolfsburg and was supposed to start living the life right, but it got tougher for him.

The coach that brought him to Germany got sacked and he got injured on his right knee and had to be operated 3 different times.

A TALE OF WOES AT WOLFSBURG

After surgery, he started training to get fit, while training he had a shoulder injury that needed another surgery.

After surgery he came back to Nigeria to be with his family and get fitter before returning to Germany. He got better and even went to church for thanksgiving but…

IT GOT TOUGHER

He was about to travel back to Germany, he had his bags packed when he woke and found himself in a hospital bed in Lagos.

Wolfsburg thought he didn't want to come back for pre-season and asked for doctors report and pictures which he did.

He was diagnosed of malaria and typhoid.

He got better, traveled back to Wolfsburg and for 3wks he was quarantined away from the team.

Wolfsburg decided to loan him and he agreed because he wanted to play football, he even decided to play for the lower division of the German league but a top Belgian side came for him.

ZULTE WAREGEM in Belgium wanted him on loan, so he went to train with them, they tested him and found out he still had malaria but the coach told him to keep training.

For 3wks he trained, scored goals in training and the coach promised him, the club would sign him.

Finally an escape route but on the eve to the day he would be signed, his agent was called and told he wasn't needed again.

He went to Wolfsburg who relegated him to the Under-19 team to train so he could be fit to be loaned out later.

Whilst training, another club called.

It was the Belgian Champions CLUB BRUGGE, He was happy, went to Belgium  where he passed his medicals and the team doctor told him it's left for the club president to make the move official.

The deal was never made official as Club President turned down the deal.

He was broken!!

He went back to Germany where he would wake up by 4am to cry, he told his agent not to worry about any transfer again so as to allow him stay and fight for his place in Germany.

On a Wednesday morning, 5days to the closure of the European transfer market, he got another call.

It was a call from another Belgian Club, this time CHARLEROI FC, a voice introduced himself as the Club president and told him "Can you come to Charleroi, I want to sign you"

He left for Belgian on road with his agent and they spent 7hours, when he got to Belgian...HE GOT SIGNED

For a player that hasn't scored a goal in 2yrs of turning pro. He scored 20goals in 36 app for the club and later left to join French Club Lille.

He went to France and scored 18goals making him a fan favorite among the Lille faithful but that was just the start of his story.

Italian giants, Napoli FC broke their transfer record to make him the most expensive African player when they paid Lille $96M (N39.7Billion).

And just yesterday he led Napoli to their first Serie A title in 33 years breaking all sorts of records along the way.

He’s now the African with the Most Goals scored in a single Serie A season breaking Samuel Eto’s record.

HE BECAME THE PRINCE OF NAPLES!!!

John Ogu called him a beast with a lion’s heart.

Odion Ighalo called him the crown Prince to the throne of Nigerian attackers.

He is one the hottest top prospects in world football at the moment

He is VICTOR JAMES OSIMHEN

Dream big and never stop trying.

Hehehe.... what did you notice? 

DR OBETA ....HOW HE WAS ARRESTED OVER EKWEREMADU'S CASE

DR OBINNA OBETA 

 Obinna Obeta was born in Nigeria on November 30, 1971. He studied veterinary medicine before switching to human medicine, which he studied alongside Dr Isaac Ekweremadu, brother to Ike Ekweremadu. In 2013, he was diagnosed with a serious kidney disease. In 2016 he lost his mother to the same disease. His grandfather had also died from it. In 2019, just before he was about to take his exams to become a consultant, he suffered from kidney failure. In 2020 he began kidney dialysis. He travelled to the UK with his family and the donor, staying at an address in Hillbeck Close in Southwark. The transplant went ahead successfully at the Royal Free Hospital in north London on 16 July 2021. Obeta has remained in the UK, and worked cleaning surfaces during the pandemic. The work was illegal under the terms of his visa. In September 2021 Obeta was in contact with Isaac Ekweremadu discussing Sonia's condition. He agreed to help the family find a donor, and began organising testing potential donors in Nigeria. He said that when he asked Isaac for a fournmillion-naira 'donor fee' he claimed it was to cover the donor's expenses, although he had not discussed this with the donor. When the donor was brought to the UK he stayed in Obeta's house where he claimed he was 'treated like a slave'. Obeta was arrested on 12 July, 2022, and has remained in custody in HMP Belmarsh. He said he wanted to stay in the UK and work here as a doctor.

The missing fact about Ekweremadu’s case in London 

Barr. Emeka Ugwuonye explains the missing links in the Ekweremadu's trial. He wrote✍️:

SOME LITTLE DETAILS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT IN THE EKWEREMADU CASE

David Ukpo Nwamini is the 21-year old Lagos street hawker who was to give his kidney to Ekweremadu’s daughter IN London. When he was interviewed at the hospital in London, they asked him if he knew he was to donate his kidney to Sonia Ekweremadu. He first told them that he had no money to donate. They explained to him that it was his kidney that he was to donate. He asked them what was kidney. Initially, the doctors thought it was a question of language, since David’s English was not good enough. However, they eventually understood that David did not know which human organ was called kidney. In other words, he did not know what organ he was to give Sonia. That led the doctors to conclude that the procedure was not well-explained to David and that is the  number one requirement by law. According to the law, you must explain to the organ donor the procedure and all the health risks associated with the procedure. It is only then that the donor is taken to have informedly consented. When the doctors found that David did not understand what he was about to get involved in, they declared him a mismatch. 

The term “mismatch” is a technical generic language to indicate that the proposed organ harvesting has not met all the requirements. Many in Nigeria have misunderstood the term “mismatch” in this case to meant that David’s kidney was not suitable for Sonia. No! There was nothing wrong with David’s Kidney. To donate an organ, the facts must match both the law and the science governing the procedure. While the kidney matched the scientific requirement, the facts did not match the legal requirement. So, it was declared a mismatch. To help you understand it better, the term “mismatch” means there is a discrepancy. 

The doctors who interviewed David did not and could not have determined that a crime was committed. The doctors did not have sufficient information to reach such conclusion then. They felt uncomfortable with the discrepancies in the information they had about the donor and his decisions and whether he had made up his mind. For instance, the doctors did not get involved in how David was brought to them or whether he was paid. It was not their duty to deal with that. It was actually when Ekweremadu and Dr. Obinna attempted to return David to Nigeria that the problem started. David expected that he would be given a job in London as he was told before he left Nigeria. They did not give him job and they did not send him to school. Instead of all he was promised, he was asked to prepare to return to Nigeria and David ran away from the house where he was kept. As hunger wired him, he reported himself to the police. To win the immediate protection of the police, he lied about his age by telling them he was 15. It was when he was interviewed by the police that the information came out which established that a crime was committed. For instance, it was at the police station that they asked him if he was paid money and he said yes he was paid N270,000. When the police checked the WhatsApp chats between Ekweremadu and Dr. Obeta they  realized that Ekweremadu actually paid 4.5 million for Obeta to pay to David. But Obeta only paid David N270,000 and pocketed the rest. 

In fact, Ekweremadu tried to keep himself away from certain details of the deal. That was why Ekweremadu never discussed money with David. In fact, he did not deal directly with David. That was what made it possible for Obeta to cheat him. Ekweremadu believed that the 4.5 million went to David. But since he was not dealing with David directly, he never knew that Obeta pocketed most of the money. However, the law viewed Ekweremadu’s decision not to deal directly with David as a typical behavior of a big man who knew that he is getting involved in a crime. He would usually try to create some distance between him and the crime, yet he will be funding the crime from afar. Otherwise, how come you never wanted to meet the boy that is giving his kidney to your daughter and whom you called cousin to your daughter (which actually makes him your nephew)? Rather than see the non-direct dealing as evidence of his innocence, it was seen as deliberate or willful ignorance aimed at evading legal responsibility. 

One of the key factors that worked against Ekweremadu was that he lied. On three official documents he signed, he stated that David was Sonia’s cousin. But in all the WhatsApp chats he had with the doctor and his own brother over the matter, he referred to David as “that guy”. Hence the question: “You knew he was not Sonia’s cousin. While you signed that he was her cousin, when you wanted to say the truth, you referred to him as “that guy”, meaning you didn’t know him or even remember his name”. Ekweremadu admitted in court that he lied and apologized. 

NOTE: I decided to provide these details because I have read somewhere it was being said that David misled Ekweremadu and took advantage of him. No, David is a real victim. He did not manipulate them. He was manipulated by Dr. Obinna Obeta, who was working for the Ekweremadu.

As of today, I am the acting national chairman of Labour party and enjoy support of Obidients" - Lamidi Apapa

Lamidi Apapa insists he is the acting National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP) and enjoys the support of the party’s presidential candidate Peter Obi’s followers better known as “Obidients”.

Apapa who is the deputy national chairman (south) of the party, had last week declared himself as the LP national chairman following a legal battle in the party.

In the wake of the development, Labour Party state chairmen in the 36 states of the federation disowned the factional leadership, throwing its weight behind Julius Abure as the party’s leader.

 

But Apapa maintains he is the acting national chairman of the party.

“As of today, I am the acting national chairman of the party,” he said when he appeared on Channels Televisions Sunday Politics.

While many accused him of being sponsored by opponents to destroy the party, the LP chieftain refuted the claims.

“That is not true. Nobody is sponsoring me,” Apapa maintained.

“For anybody to now say I want to run down the party, that is a lie,” the LP chieftain added.

He says since a court had ordered four national officers of the party including Abure to stop parading themselves as such, his move is in the right direction.

“Now, if that has happened, what else? The next person should take over,” he said, noting that seven members of the LP National Working Committee (NWC) voted for him as the acting chairman of the party.

Apapa says he enjoys the backing of Obi’s growing support base called “Obidients”.

“I think so,” he said when asked if Obi’s supporters are behind him. “When you say Obidients’ side, are they not Nigerians?”

 

He then claimed the “Obidient” movement is acting out of ignorance by criticizing him.

 

“Let me tell you if they know what transpired, they will know they are acting out of ignorance,” he said.

 

UK places health care workers from Nigeria on red list for recruitment

The United Kingdom has revised its policy on the recruitment of health workers from overseas.

 

The code of practice for the international recruitment of health and social care personnel in England, recently updated, has Nigeria returned to the red list countries, which means, “no active recruitment is permitted”.

 

Apart from Nigeria, the UK also placed 53 other countries on the red list of countries that should not be actively targeted for recruitment by health and social care employers.

 

It is recommended that employers, recruitment organisations, agencies, collaborations, and contracting bodies check the red country list for updates before any recruitment drive.

 

It defined active international recruitment in the code as the process by which UK health and social care employers (including local authorities), contracting bodies, recruitment organisations, agencies, collaborations, and sub-contractors target individuals to market UK employment opportunities, with the intention of recruiting to a role in the UK health or social care sector. It includes both physical or virtual targeting, and whether or not these actions lead to substantive employment.

 

The code of practice applies to the appointment of all international health and social care personnel in the UK, including all permanent, temporary, and locum staff in clinical and non-clinical settings.

 

This includes but is not limited to allied health professionals, care workers, dentists, doctors, healthcare scientists, medical staff, midwives, nursing staff, residential and domiciliary care workers, social workers, and support staff.

 

Recall that in 2021, the UK suspended the recruitment of healthcare workers from Nigeria and 46 other countries, noting that the increasing scale of health and social care worker migration from low and lower-middle-income countries threatens the achievement of their nation’s health and social care goals.

 

The World Health Organisation on March 8, 2023, listed Nigeria and 54 other countries as facing the most pressing health workforce challenges related to universal health coverage. 

 

The countries placed on the UK’s red list of ‘No active recruitment’ are: Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Côte d’Ivoire, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, The Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Lesotho, Liberia.

 

Other countries are Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Federated States of Micronesia, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Samoa, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, United Republic of Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu, Republic of Yemen, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

It has finally dawned on me that he can never be the man Chinua Achebe was - Charly Boy takes a swipe at Wole Soyinka

Veteran entertainer, Charles Oputa aka Charley Boy has taken a swipe at Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka. 

 

Soyinka has been in the news of late, making comments about National importance and has criticised followers of Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi popularly referred to as Obidients.

 

In a post shared on his Instagram page, CharleyBoy said the respect he had for Soyinka was almost the kind he had for his father, late Justice C.A Oputa, who was  known as the Socrates of the Supreme Court.

 

He said it has now dawn on him that Soyinka can never be the man late Nigerian novelist, Chinua Achebe, was. 

 

 Charley Boy added that the Nobel laureate who many Nigerians put on a high pedestal has ‘’reduced himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians''.

 

‘’The kin respect I had for dis man, was almost the kind of respect I had for the late Justice C.A.Oputa, The Socrates of the Supreme Court.

It has finally dawned on me that Soyinka can never be the man Chinua Achebe was.

The kogi is not ordinary, he should be very measured anytime he makes a public statement.

Look at a man many Nigerians put on such high pedestal reducing himself to a boyiboyi for criminal politicians.

What a f..king big shame''
