Married actor, Solomon Akiyesi, left his eight months pregnant wife in

hoping to speak with Lilian later. See the photos after the cut...<br />

The last good glimpse Nigerians had of Goldie was of her photos on <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9">the red carpet</span> of the 55th <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2">Grammy Awards</span>, where she appeared as a woman full of life. Her death four days later on <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">Valentine’s Day</span> was one hell of a shock for her fans, friends and family.<br />
<br />
Her <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12">demise</span> evoked a volcano of mixed feeling as many haters took to the social media to further hex the soul of the deceased. <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5">In the wake</span> of the Valentine’s Day tragedy, damning reports began to emerge: drugs, hedonism, a little-known marriage, and husband-snatching allegations.<br /> Goldie’s untimely death stirred a <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD10">storm of</span>
controversies that cannot simply be wished away. The big question
revolves around her marriage. Before her death, if you’d ask showbiz
followers about Goldie’s <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11">marital</span>
status, two out of three responses would be “single.” CONTINUE READING BELOW..<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
The remaining
would be “no idea.” It hardly occurred to anyone outside her close
circle that the Harvey surname she was bearing was not a stage but her
marriage name. Indeed, the Skibobo singer created a cloud of deceit
around her marital status.<br />
<br />
During press conferences, questions about her marital status were curtly cut off. On Facebook, Goldie’s marital status was inconclusive. “Single” but not searching and an occasional vague <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4">affirmation</span> that she was “in a relationship,” was all Goldie offered as explanation for her marital status.<br /><br />
Many did not know Goldie wedded let alone, married a white man. Now a
certain Andrew Harvey, a Briton, has announced himself, by uploading
photos of their wedding that proved beyond doubt the verity of their
2005 wedding. So Goldie was married? Really?<br /><br />
At the BBA Stargame,
Goldie was viewed through the lens of a single girl. Against this new
background, you begin to wonder, what the hell was a 30-year-old woman
with a seven-year-old marriage doing in the wild, whimsical house of the
Big Brother Africa, where sex can happen at a short notice?<br />
<br />
Then you
begin to wonder, where was Mr. Andrew Harvey when Goldie was
gallivanting with Prezzo? A married Goldie flirted and got cosy with
Prezzo, going as far as kissing him. For a married woman, that was so
un-African. Even outside the BBA, her love chess with Prezzo continued.<br />
<br />
There were strong indications that at the time of her death, the
Nigerian pop diva and the Kenyan rapper were still love interests. One
doesn’t have to be a Sherlock Holmes to deduce that the marriage was not
the made-in-heaven picture Mr. Harvey is now painting. Now Harvey is
not making Goldie a saint as much as he is further casting aspersion on
her image as a married wife.<br /><br />
Toxic reports in the wake of her
shocking departure insinuated that Goldie’s was into drugs. These
allegation, debunked by close pals, are just mere conjectures. What is
common knowledge <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6">was that</span> her
friendship with Denrele Edun, the eccentric Channel O presenter, who
also happened to be her business partner and co-presenter of their
impending reality show, was not ordinary.<br /><br />
Now talking about Denrele, the initial story was that
Goldie died in Denrele’s arms. The question is: where, in the house, or
on the way to the hospital, because the hospital declared the singer
dead on arrival. There had been different accounts about Goldie’s last
minutes.<br />
<br />
The stories, sketchy but riddled with inconsistencies. So who
is going to give us a blow-by-blow account of <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">the last minute</span>, including the names of people who were there? <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">One report</span>
said her brother was in the house with her. When Entertainment Express
visited her apartment at No 30B Ologun Kufere Street Parkview Estate,
Ikoyi, Lagos, the following day, <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">the apartment</span> was deserted save for a weeping househelp who went in, packed her two suitcases and fled from the house. <br /><br />
Then you ask again a whole lot of questions: What is the police doing about it? Where are her family members?<br /><br />
The autopsy report indicated that Goldie died of hypertension. But the
public needs to know the back story, particularly, the details of the
last few minutes before her death. What, where, when, how, and who were
the eye-witnesses? <br /><br />
Questions, questions, questions. It is better
to let the dead to rest in peace. And in this clime, we do not speak ill
of the dead. But this has to be said about the late entertainer:
Goldie lied to us. It is no crime for a celebrity to keep her marital
life out of the public radar - Onyeka Onwenu did it successfully.<br />
<br />
A
stern I-am-married-but-my-marriage-is-not-a-matter-for-discussion
response from Goldie would have been enough. Goldie misinformed us by
her utterance, she misled us by her actions. She owed us an apology,
even in death.<br /><br />
An insider, who spoke with us recently, said the
family of Goldie wants the Police to invite Denrele, for questioning,
since he claimed that their hale and hearty daughter died in his arms.<br />
<br />
“This I can tell you is the family’s position’s. They want Denrele to
tell them and the world the circumstances that led to Goldie’s death”,
disclosed this insider who does not want his name in print.<br />

Is this another celebrity attention stunt or for real??? If recent
reports are to go by, it seems D'banj has finally taken himself off the
bachelor market.<br />
<br />
Rumor has been going around on the social
network that Dbanj has proposed to our own Nollywood darling Genevieve
Nnaji in the USA yesterday with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian as
witnesses. Susan Peters confirmed this today on her twitter time-line .watch the video below<br />

This girl gave Timaya the coldest shoulder ever!! She completely ignored
him like he does not exist. Maybe she is a friend or related to
Timaya’s ex boo Empress (Lol). <br /><br />This was one of the many awkward moments at the BasketMouth hosted African Kings of comedy show held in London. <br />

feeling the cold reception responded saying ” If you get problem, leave
am for your house”. More Photos from the show after the jump</div>

These days, Nollywood actresses are really breaking records. Information
reaching us is that Nse Ikpe Etim, the sexy actress who, on Valentine's
day, did a court marriage with her UK-based long time on-off-on lover,
Clifford Sule, is now 'enjoying' honeymoon with the man in the US.<br /><br />The
little I know about our tradition is that court weddings are 'mere'
formalities which enables either of the parties to official sue for
divorce if the need ever arises and still come out with a fair deal.<br /><br />Nse and Clifford are not traditional married according to native rites...continue reading below<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />They've
not done their Traditional Marriage. They are yet to be joined together
by the pastor(s) of their church and pronounced as husband and wife, as
the Bible instructs.<br /><br />I hear their traditional/white wedding
should take place later this year. So, what's the rush for honeymoon? Is
it right for a lady to proceed on a honeymoon with a man after they
visit the registry? Please those who know more about these stuffs should
educate us so that other young people can learn.</div>

The panel also frustrated a subpoena requesting the chairman of INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega to appear before the panel. I do not think Nigerians are fools not to understand what happened. As far as we are concerned, it is a cheap victory for the PDP.

If you are ousted from the race, they have to let you know you are ousted from the race. There is no communication to that effect. So everybody is speculating.

Just before this incident, someone had asked me to pay an amount of $100,000 and if I did not pay the money, the reputation of my family would be destroyed. There is more to this but putting it in the public domain would not be good for now,” Alhaji Buari told Us yesterday.<br />Nadia, we gathered, is currently on a business trip outside Ghana.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />Sidiku Buari, a renowned movie producer, musician and onetime President of the Musicians Union of Ghana, complained that whoever started the speculation was being very unfair to the entertainment industry in Ghana and Nadia.<br />“I mean I am now a happy man that the truth has come to light that the lady involved is Roxie West and not my daughter. My daughter can never do such a thing and no Ghanaian celebrity can do that. And to spread stories that my daughter or any other Ghanaian celebrity has done such a thing does not help anyone because we all have a reputation to protect.<br />“That is why the media should be careful in handling some of these issues. You should have at least tried to get to the bottom of the story before coming out with it, especially when you know what people can do with computer and the internet these days. But I am happy that people did not even believe it and many people called to tell you it could not be possible,” Alhaji Buari added.<br />Barely a fortnight ago, a 60-second sex-video circulated widely in Ghana and speculations were rife that the lady involved had a striking resemblance with Nadia.<br />A few internet sites even captioned the video with the actress’ name and this helped in mongering the speculation that has now turned up to be a mischievous prank by some faceless miscreants.We has tried to contact persons who are believed to have uploaded the video on Facebook and Twitter and but there has been no response from them so far.<br />Meanwhile, several persons have downloaded the video onto their mobile phones and are circulating it through Bluetooth and BBM.<br />The video became very popular and sparked controversy that generated fisticuffs, insults, curses and threats in certain circles when some persons who watched it on Facebook and twitter became divided about the identity of the lady involved.<br />The lady’s identity has however been confirmed as Roxie West alias Bebe Minx, an American professional star.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201180290668628475.post-64472919523501273852011-10-17T02:31:00.000-07:002013-02-23T09:49:44.803-08:00Fashola gives automatic employment to 3 blind lawyers<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Helvetica, 'sans serif', Georgia; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"></span><br /><div id="article-body" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: black; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal Georgia; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><div style="outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; text-align: justify;">Three visually impaired lawyers, Victor Anomo, Babatunde Safiu and Salami Abolarinwa, were on Saturday offered automatic employment by Gov.

Obasanjo and Babangida, both former heads of government and retired generals, had last week exchange words, calling each other fools.<br /><br />On Sunday, a source in the Presidency told one of our correspondents that Jonathan, who was “embarrassed” by the conduct of the two former heads of state, had intervened on Saturday.<br /><a name='more'></a><br /><br />The source said Jonathan made separate telephone calls to Obasanjo and Babangida, who are also chieftains of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, on Saturday.<br /><br />The source said, “Nobody should expect the President to fold his arms and be watching. He has done the natural thing to do in a situation like this. <br /><br />“He has called both Obasanjo and Babangida and appealed to them to sheathe their swords. <br /><br />“He urged them not to make further comments on the issue and encouraged them to settle it between themselves as they are friends and have access to each other. <br /><br />“He did not take sides with anybody; there is a disagreement between two big men here and the President is playing the role of a peacemaker.”<br /><br />The source however could not say what the reactions of the two former leaders were.<br /><br />Babangida had stirred the hornets-nest last Wednesday at a news conference to mark his 70th birthday in Minna, Niger State, when he said that Obasanjo’s eight year tenure was a huge waste. He said Obasanjo’s administration spent $16bn on electricity without result, adding that if his own regime had the enormous revenue available to the Obasanjo government, he would have given Nigeria power. <br /><br />But Obasanjo thundered back on Thursday, calling Babagida a fool at 70.<br /><br />He said, “If Babangida has decided, on becoming a septuagenarian, that he will be a fool, I think one should probably do what the Bible says in Proverb Chapter 26, versus 4. It says don’t answer a fool because you may also become like him.” <br /><br />However, in a swift reaction through his spokesperson, IBB retorted, “One may excuse his (Obasanjo) present outburst as the effusions of a witless comedian.” <br /><br />Obasanjo who was the president between 1999 and 2007 was also a military head of government from 1976 to 1979. Babangida was military president from 1985 to 1993 when he “stepped aside” from power following the popular protests that greeted the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential poll by him.<br /><br />Many at the weekend lashed at the two former leaders for “washing their dirty linen” in the public.<br /><br />A former military governor of the old Western region, Vice Admiral Akin Aduwo (retd.), said the duo of Obasanjo and Babangida should be court-martialled over what he described as their indiscretion. Aduwo, who spoke over the weekend, also said the warring generals should be banned from the National Council of States.<br /><br />On Sunday, the Octogenarian leader of the Yoruba social and political organization, Afenifere, Pa. Reuben Fasoranti, described the feud as a “show of shame.” <br /><br />Fasoranti, in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Akure, Ondo State, noted that the two leaders behaved like “kids”.<br /><br />He said, “It is a pity that the two ex-heads of state decided to throw caution to the winds and behave the way they did. They should have exercised restraints. Their behaviour is unfortunate. They should not have lost their tempers. Only kids do such things.”<br /><br />Fasoranti appealed to the two leaders to exercise great caution and control over their tempers, warning them to refrain from exchanging insults on the pages of newspapers.<br /><br />Aduwo had described the public exchange of words by the former presidents as a ‘complete shame, completely out of character, an international disgrace, an embarrassment to Nigeria and the military that gave those two people prominence as heads of state.”<br /><br />He said, “IBB is a subordinate to Obasanjo, at all levels of service to the nation, the military, government and politics. The superior officer remains the superior officer. <br /><br />“They went through all sorts of military training in discipline, leadership, mood control, conduct control. I have never been so shocked. Whoever is your superior up till retirement from active service remains your superior.”<br />By <span id="publisr">Niyi Odebode, Fidelis Soriwei, Olusola Fabiyi and Sunday Aborisade</span> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201180290668628475.post-30118482122839318172011-08-21T21:37:00.000-07:002013-02-23T09:49:44.864-08:00Libyan rebels take most of Tripoli<div class="yom-mod yom-art-content" id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153480"><div class="bd" id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153479">TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Euphoric Libyan rebels took control of most of Tripoli in a lightning advance Sunday, celebrating the victory in Green Square, the symbolic heart of Moammar Gadhafi's regime. Gadhafi's defenders quickly melted away as his 42-year rule crumbled, but the leader's whereabouts were unknown and pockets of resistance remained. <br />State TV broadcast Gadhafi's bitter pleas for Libyans to defend his regime. Opposition fighters captured his son and one-time heir apparent, Seif al-Islam, who along with his father faces charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands. Another son was under house arrest.<br /><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153503"><span class="yui-editorial-embed" id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153502"></span><br />"It's over, frizz-head," chanted hundreds of jubilant men and women massed in Green Square, using a mocking nickname of the curly-haired Gadhafi. The revelers fired shots in the air, clapped and waved the rebels' tricolor flag. Some set fire to the green flag of Gadhafi's regime and shot holes in a poster with the leader's image.<br /><a name='more'></a><br />The startling rebel breakthrough, after a long deadlock in Libya's 6-month-old civil war, was the culmination of a closely coordinated plan by rebels, NATO and anti-Gadhafi residents inside Tripoli, rebel leaders said. Rebel fighters from the west swept over 20 miles over a matter of hours Sunday, taking town after town and overwhelming a major military base as residents poured out to cheer them. At the same time, Tripoli residents secretly armed by rebels rose up.<br />When rebels reached the gates of Tripoli, the special battalion entrusted by Gadhafi with guarding the capital promptly surrendered. The reason: Its commander, whose brother had been executed by Gadhafi years ago, was secretly loyal to the rebellion, a senior rebel official Fathi al-Baja told The Associated Press.<br />Fathi al-Baja, the head of the rebels' political committee, said the rebels' National Transitional Council had been working on the offensive for the past three months, coordinating with NATO and rebels within Tripoli. Sleeper cells were set up in the capital, armed by rebel smugglers. On Thursday and Friday, NATO intensified strikes inside the capital, and on Saturday, the sleeper cells began to rise up.<br />President Barack Obama said Libya is "slipping from the grasp of a tyrant" and urged Gadhafi to relinquish power to prevent more bloodshed.<br />"The future of Libya is now in the hands of the Libyan people," Obama said in a statement from Martha's Vineyard, where he's vacationing. He promised to work closely with rebels.<br />By the early hours of Monday, rebels controlled most of the capital. The seizure of Green Square held profound symbolic value — the plaza was scene of pro-Gadhafi rallies organized by the regime almost every night, and Gadhafi delivered speeches to his loyalists from the historic Red Fort that overlooks the square. Rebels and Tripoli residents set up checkpoints around the city, though pockets of pro-Gadhafi fighters remained. In one area, AP reporters with the rebels were stopped and told to take a different route because of regime snipers nearby.<br />Abdel-Hakim Shugafa, a 26-year-old rebel fighter, said he was stunned by how easy it was. He saw only about 20 minutes of exchanges of fire as he and his fellow fighters pushed into the capital at nightfall.<br />"I expect Libya to be better," said Shugafa, part of a team guarding the National Bank near Green Square. "He (Gadhafi) oppressed everything in the country — health and education. Now we can build a better Libya."<br />In a series of angry and defiant audio messages broadcast on state television, Gadhafi called on his supporters to march in the streets of the capital and "purify it" of "the rats." He was not shown in the messages.<br />His defiance raised the possibility of a last-ditch fight over the capital, home to 2 million people. Government spokesman Moussa Ibrahim claimed the regime has "thousands and thousands of fighters" and vowed: "We will fight. We have whole cities on our sides. They are coming en masse to protect Tripoli to join the fight."<br />But it seemed that significant parts of Gadhafi's regime and military were abandoning him. His prime minister, Al-Baghdadi Al-Mahmoudi, fled to a hotel in the Tunisian city of Djerba, said Guma el-Gamaty, a London-based rebel spokesman.<br /><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153495">NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Gadhafi's regime was "clearly crumbling" and that the time to create a new democratic Libya has arrived.</div><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153497">It was a stunning reversal for Gadhafi, who earlier this month had seemed to have a firm grip on his stronghold in the western part of Libya, despite months of NATO airstrikes on his military. Rebels had been unable to make any advances for weeks, bogged down on the main fronts with regime troops in the east and center of the country.</div>Gadhafi is the Arab world's longest-ruling, most erratic, most grimly fascinating leader — presiding for 42 years over this North African desert republic with vast oil reserves and just 6 million people. For years, he was an international pariah blamed for the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am jumbo jet over Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people. After years of denial, Gadhafi's Libya acknowledged responsibility, agreed to pay up to $10 million to relatives of each victim, and declared he would dismantle all weapons of mass destruction.<br />That eased him back into the international community.<br />But on February 22, days after the uprising against him began, Gadhafi gave a televised speech vowing to hunt down protesters "inch by inch, room by room, home by home, alleyway by alleyway." The speech caused a furor that fueled the armed rebellion against him and it has been since mocked in songs and spoofs across the Arab world.<br />As the rebel force advanced on Tripoli on Sunday, taking town after town, thousands of jubilant civilians rushed out of their homes to cheer the long convoys of pickup trucks packed with fighters shooting in the air. One man grabbed a rebel flag that had been draped over the hood of a slow-moving car and kissed it, overcome with emotion.<br />Akram Ammar, 26, fled his hometown of Tripoli in March and on Sunday he was among the rebel fighters pouring back in.<br />"It is a happiness you can't describe but also some fear. It will take us time to clear the entire city. I expect a long time for Libyans to get used to the new system and the new democracy," he said, dressed in camouflage pants and black shirt and sporting the long beard of a conservative Muslim. "But in the end it will be better."<br />The rebels' leadership council, based in the eastern city of Benghazi, sent out mobile text messages to Tripoli residents, proclaiming, "Long live Free Libya" and urging them to protect public property. Internet service returned to the capital for the first time in six months.<br />The day's first breakthrough came when hundreds of rebels fought their way into a major symbol of the Gadhafi regime — the base of the elite 32nd Brigade commanded by Gadhafi's son, Khamis. Fighters said they met with little resistance. They were 16 miles from the big prize, Tripoli.<br />Hundreds of rebels cheered wildly and danced as they took over the compound filled with eucalyptus trees, raising their tricolor from the front gate and tearing down a large billboard of Gadhafi. From a huge warehouse, they loaded their trucks with hundreds of crates of rockets, artillery shells and large-caliber ammunition.<br />One group started up a tank, drove it out of the gate, crushing the median of the main highway and driving off toward Tripoli.<br />The rebels also freed more than 300 prisoners from a regime lockup, most of them arrested during the heavy crackdown on the uprising in towns west of Tripoli. The fighters and the prisoners — many looking weak and dazed and showing scars and bruises from beatings — embraced and wept with joy.<br />"We were sitting in our cells when all of a sudden we heard lots of gunfire and people yelling 'God is great.' We didn't know what was happening, and then we saw rebels running in and saying 'We're on your side.' And they let us out," said 23-year-old Majid al-Hodeiri. He said he was captured four months ago by Gadhafi's forces crushing the uprising in his home city of Zawiya. He said he was beaten and tortured while under detention.<br />From the military base, the convoy sped toward the capital.<br />Mahmoud al-Ghwei, 20 and unarmed, said he had just came along with a friend for the ride .<br />"It's a great feeling. For all these years, we wanted freedom and Gadhafi kept it from us. Now we're going to get rid of Gadhafi and get our freedom," he said.<br />The uprising against Gadhafi broke out in mid-February, and anti-regime protests quickly spread. A brutal regime crackdown quickly transformed the protests into an armed rebellion. Rebels seized Libya's east, setting up an internationally recognized transitional government there, and two pockets in the west, the port city of Misrata and the Nafusa mountain range.<br />Gadhafi clung to the remaining territory, and for months neither side has been able to break the other.<br />In early August, however, rebels launched an offensive from the Nafusa mountains, intending to open a new, western front to break the deadlock. They fought their way down to the Mediterranean coastal plain, backed by NATO airstrikes, and captured the strategic city of Zawiya.<br />Rebel fighters who spoke to relatives in Tripoli by phone said hundreds rushed into the streets in anti-regime protests in several neighborhoods on Sunday.<br />"We received weapons by sea from Benghazi. They sent us weapons in boats," said Ibrahim Turki, a rebel in the Tripoli neighborhood of Tajoura, which saw heavy fighting the past two days. "Without their weapons, we would not have been able to stand in the face of the mighty power of Gadhafi forces."<br />Thousands celebrated in the streets of Benghazi, the rebels' de facto capital hundreds of miles to the east. Firing guns into the air and shooting fireworks, they cheered and waved the rebel tricolor flags, dancing and singing in the city's main square.<br /><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153493">When rebels moved in, the regime unit guarding the capital, known as the Mohammed Megrayef battalion, surrendered and its commander ordered its troops to put down their arms. Al-Baja, the rebel official, said that the commander, Barani Eshkal, had secretly defected earlier to the rebels, embittered by the 1986 execution of his brother, who had joined a coup attempt against Gadhafi.</div><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153491">Eshkal also pointed out to the rebels the hiding place of Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam in a hotel, al-Baja said. Rebel chief Mustafa Abdel-Jalil in Benghazi confirmed to the AP that the rebels captured Seif but refused to give details.</div>In the Netherlands, the prosecutor at the International Criminal Court, Luis Moreno-Ocampo, said his office would talk to the rebels on Monday about Seif al-Islam's transfer for trial. "It is time for justice, not revenge," Moreno-Ocampo told the AP.<br /><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153489">Seif al-Islam, his father and Libya's intelligence chief were indicted earlier this year for allegedly ordering, planning and participating in illegal attacks on civilians in the early days of the violent crackdown on anti-regime protesters.</div><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153487">Another son, Mohammed, was under house arrest. Mohammed, who is in charge of Libyan telecommunications, appeared on the Arabic satellite channel Al-Jazeera, saying his house was surrounded by armed rebels.</div><div id="yui_3_3_0_1_1313987593153485">"They have guaranteed my safety. I have always wanted good for all Libyans and was always on the side of God," he said.

Ibrahim Babangida has given notice of his intention to marry a new wife following the demise of his wife, Dr. Maryam Babangida. <br /><br />In an exclusive interview with Vanguard ahead of his 70th birthday today, Gen. Babangida debunked claims that he secretly married a wife about four months ago asserting such a marriage existed only in the imagination of some section of the media. <br /><a name='more'></a>In the wide ranging interview, Babangida linked the military intervention led by Gen. Sani Abacha that sacked the interim government of Chief Ernest Shonekan to the agitation of civil society even as he justified his support for Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in the 1999 presidential election as the best decision at that time. He rated Obasanjo a success based on the fundamental parameter of unifying the country which he said informed his selection at that time. <br /><br />On speculations that he had secretly married, "I have not re-married. You are not the only one who heard. A close friend of mine heard and came to the house to find out. I took him around to all the rooms a wife would have been if I re-married. It is the soft sell media that would like to make huge sales that come up with that type of story," he told Vanguard. <br /><br />But in a session with selected newsmen in Minna yesterday Babangida gave notice of his readiness to marry. <br /><br /><br />"Yes, I will get a new wife, no name yet but I know what I want and who is coming into this house and one thing I cannot also tell you now is when exactly she is coming in." <br /><br />Gen. Babangida who was full of life and radiating with smiles throughout the interactive session said he gives glory to God for successfully navigating the turbulence that characterized political office especially as a Military President. <br /><br />He, however, ruled himself out from further partisan political pursuit saying: <br /><br />"I am now 70 years. By 2015, I will be about 75 years so at that age, what would I still be looking for. Count me out. That time, I will be in Minna to attend to people who call on me for political and other consultations," the former military president said. <br /><br />Recalling his saddest moments in life, Gen. Babangida said it was when he lost his bosom friend simply identified as Lt. Col Mohammed in 1974 who he said died in a crash and also the death of his wife, Maryam. <br /><br />He, however, recounted his most joyful moments to be the day he got married and when he was appointed the military president for the country after a successful military coup. <br /><br />Gen. Babangida described the public execution of his bosom friend and colleague, Gen. Vatsa following allegations of a coup plot as the most traumatizing decision ever taken in his life. He prayed never to find himself in such a position again. <br /><br />According to him, "it was a military law which could not be amended. We all got caught up in the coup Decree of 1976 which gave no room for an alternative but only death through public execution. If I tell you that it was not traumatizing, I must be lying and I pray I will never find myself in such a situation again." <br /><br />The former military president also touched on other National issues such as the amendment of the constitution of the country, the re-occurring June 12 issue and the way forward for the country. <br /><br />Jonathan congratulates IBB <br /><br />President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday congratulated Babangida on the occasion of his 70th birthday which comes up today. A statement by Dr Reuben Abati, prayed God Almighty to bless him with "many more years of robust health, prosperity and continued distinguished service to our nation.”"Looking back over the past 70 years, I am sure that you, your family and indeed your larger family of associates and admirers do have cause to be grateful to Almighty God for having granted you a life of great accomplishment and abiding fulfillment." <br /><br />"You did not only rise to the pinnacle of your chosen career in the military, you also rose to become President of Nigeria for eight years," President Jonathan wrote.<br /><br />odili.net/newsUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4201180290668628475.post-35694149707977073172011-08-20T03:43:00.000-07:002013-02-23T09:49:44.910-08:00Gov Obi sympathises with Mikel’s family<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><br /> <tr><td class="mostpopular" colspan="2"><table align="right" border="0" style="width: 616px;"><tbody><br /> <tr><td><table border="0" class="bodytext" style="width: 670px;"><tbody><br /> <tr><td align="center" style="vertical-align: middle;"><table border="0" style="width: 114px;"><tbody><br /> <tr><td style="width: 120px;"><br /></td> </tr><br /> </tbody></table></td> <td align="center" style="vertical-align: middle;"><table border="0" style="width: 114px;"><tbody><br /> <tr> <td valign="middle"><br /></td> </tr><br /> </tbody></table></td> </tr><br /> </tbody></table></td> </tr><br /> </tbody></table></td> </tr><br /> <tr> <td class="writing_text3" colspan="2" valign="top"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="float: left; margin: 10px; width: 200px;"><tbody><br /> <tr> <td style="border: solid 1px #e5e5e5;"> <br /><table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="width: 363px;"><tbody><br /> <tr> <td style="width: 357px;"><span id="theinna">John Mikel Obi</span> </td> </tr><br /> </tbody></table></td> </tr><br /> </tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.punchontheweb.com/images/August/Monday/pix201108158494762.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="click to expand image" border="0" height="213" id="thelink" src="http://www.punchontheweb.com/images/August/Monday/pix201108158494762.jpg" style="width: 375px;" width="320" /></a></div><span id="fullgist">The Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has joined other Nigerians to sympathise with the</span><br /><span id="fullgist"> family of Super Eagles and Chelsea star, John Mikel Obi, whose father was abducted since last </span><br /><span id="fullgist">week in Jos, Plateau State.<br />In a statement issued in Awka on Thursday and signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the </span><br /><span id="fullgist">Governor on Media and Publicity, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, Obi stated that he was shocked by</span><br /><span id="fullgist"> the news of the </span><span id="fullgist">kidnap of the senior Obi.</span><br /><a name='more'></a><span id="fullgist">“I hasten to condemn the act as most barbaric, unpatriotic and shameful,” the governor said.<br /><br />According to him, it is inconceivable that the father of someone who has brought joy to millions of his countrymen through the nation’s number one sport, football, or any Nigerian at all, can be kidnapped.<br /><br />He stated that such an act had not only smeared Nigeria’s image abroad, but could dampen the morale</span><br /><span id="fullgist"> of other sportsmen and women in representing the country.<br /><br />Obi urged the abductors to have a rethink and release the man without delay and unharmed to </span><br /><span id="fullgist">members of his family, just as he urged the family to remain steadfast in prayer and continue to believe </span><br /><span id="fullgist">God that their husband, father and relation would be returned hale and hearty.</span></td></tr><br /> </tbody></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
