ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN, GCFR ON THE DECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY IN BORNO, YOBE AND ADAMAWA STATES IN ORDER TO RESTORE PUBLIC ORDER, PUBLIC SAFETY AND SECURITY IN THE AFFECTED STATES OF THE FEDERATION

MAY 14, 2013
  
Dear compatriots,
1.    It has become necessary for me to address you on the recent spate of terrorist activities and protracted security challenges in some parts of the country, particularly in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Bauchi, Kano, Plateau and most recently Bayelsa, Taraba, Benue and Nasarawa states.  These unfortunate events have led to needless loss of lives and property of many innocent Nigerians including members of our security forces.

2.   The recent killing of security operatives by a cult group in Nasarawa state is particularly condemnable. I have directed that no effort or expense be spared in identifying and bringing to justice all those who had a hand in the killing of the operatives.

3.   The activities of insurgents and terrorists have been reprehensible, causing fear among our citizens and a near-breakdown of law and order in parts of the country, especially the North. We have taken robust steps to unravel and address the root causes of these crises, but it would appear that there is a systematic effort by insurgents and terrorists to destabilize the Nigerian state and test our collective resolve.

4.  Since I returned to the country after cutting short my visit to South Africa and aborting a planned state visit to Namibia, I have received detailed briefings from our security agencies. These briefings indicate that what we are facing is not just militancy or criminality, but a rebellion and insurgency by terrorist groups which pose a very serious threat to national unity and territorial integrity. Already, some northern parts of Borno state have been taken over by groups whose allegiance is to different flags and ideologies.

5.   These terrorists and insurgents seem determined to establish control and authority over parts of our beloved nation and to progressively overwhelm the rest of the country. In many places, they have destroyed the Nigerian flag and other symbols of state authority and in their place, hoisted strange flags suggesting the exercise of alternative sovereignty.

6.  They have attacked government buildings and facilities. They have murdered innocent citizens and state officials. They have set houses ablaze, and taken women and children as hostages. These actions amount to a declaration of war and a deliberate attempt to undermine the authority of the Nigerian state and threaten her territorial integrity. As a responsible government, we will not tolerate this.

 7.  Previously, we adopted a multi-track approach to the resolution of this problem through actions which included persuasion, dialogue and widespread consultation with the political, religious and community leaders in the affected states.

8.  We exercised restraint to allow for all efforts by both State Governors and well-meaning Nigerians to stop the repeated cases of mindless violence.

9.  Yet, the insurgents and terrorists seek to prevent government from fulfilling its constitutional obligations to the people as they pursue their fanatical agenda of mayhem, mass murder, division and separatism.

10. While the efforts at persuasion and dialogue will continue, let me reiterate that we have a sacred duty to ensure the security and well-being of all our people and protect the sovereign integrity of our country. Therefore, we shall, on no account, shy away from doing whatever becomes necessary to provide the fullest possible security for the citizens of this country in any part of the country they choose to reside.

11.   We have a duty to stand firm against those who threaten the sovereign integrity of the Nigerian state. Our will is strong, because our faith lies in the indivisibility of Nigeria.

12.  Following recent developments in the affected states, it has become necessary for Government to take extraordinary measures to restore normalcy. After wide consultations, and in exercise of the powers conferred on me by the provisions of Section 305, sub-section 1 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, I hereby declare a State of Emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.

13.  Accordingly, the Chief of Defence Staff has been directed to immediately deploy more troops to these states for more effective internal security operations. The troops and other security agencies involved in these operations have orders to take all necessary action, within the ambit of their rules of engagement, to put an end to the impunity of insurgents and terrorists.

14.  This will include the authority to arrest and detain suspects, the taking of possession and control of any building or structure used for terrorist purposes, the lock-down of any area of terrorist operation, the conduct of searches, and the apprehension of persons in illegal possession of weapons.


15.  The details of this Proclamation will be transmitted to the National Assembly in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. But in the meantime, let me make it clear that within the purview of this Proclamation, the Governors and other political office holders in the affected states will continue to discharge their constitutional responsibilities.

16.   I urge the political leadership in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states to co-operate maximally with the Armed Forces and the Police to ensure that the exercise succeeds. We call on the citizenry to co-operate with our security agencies to ensure a return to normalcy within the shortest possible time.

17.   I am again approaching our neighbouring countries, through diplomatic channels, as done in the recent past, for their co-operation in apprehending any terrorist elements that may escape across the border.


18.  Nigerians are peace-loving people; these sad events perpetrated by those who do not wish our nation well have not changed the essential character of our people.


19.  I want to reassure you all that those who are directly or indirectly encouraging any form of rebellion against the Nigerian state, and their collaborators; those insurgents and terrorists who take delight in killing our security operatives, whoever they may be, wherever they may go, we will hunt them down, we will fish them out, and we will bring them to justice. No matter what it takes, we will win this war against terror.

20.  I am convinced that with your support and prayers, we shall overcome these challenges and together, we will restore every part of our country to the path of peace, growth and development.
 .
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

I'm I the only person wondering why Nassarawa was left out???

    78 Year Old Woman Declared Missing Found Dead In Son’s Ritual Cupboard


    The police in Imo have arrested one Chimezie Osuigwe, a retired vice-principal, for the alleged murder of his 78-year-old mother in 2003.
    Osuigwe, a 64-year old was arrested after the embalmed body of the septuagenarian was discovered in a cupboard at his house by a family member.
    According to Mr Musa Katsina, the Commissioner of Police in Imo, the woman, Mrs Lucy Osuigwe, was declared missing since 2003.
    Katsina told newsmen at the house in Ejemekuru in Oguta Local Government Area on Monday that the embalmed body had been kept in that condition since 2003.
    “The corpse of Mrs Lucy Osuigwe, who was declared missing in 2003 was found in a large cupboard inside a shrine in a private room in a circumstance depicting ritual practice.
    “The embalmed body, which was kept in that condition for about 10 years is believed to have been placed in the wardrobe by her son, Dr Chimezie Osuigwe, a devotee of the Guru Maharaji Sect.
    “Preliminary assessment of the scene of crime revealed that the woman must have been murdered by the son for ritual purposes,” he said.
    The commissioner said that plans were on to arrest other members of the sect who visit Osuigwe’s shrine.
    He said the body would be handed over to the forensic team of the command to determine the cause of death.
    He also said the suspect would be held for first degree murder until the cause of death was established.

    Court Dissolves Pastor's Marriage Over Adultery Issues


     
    "Starting from today, you seize to be addressed as husband and wife.You shall go your separate ways unmolested. “The pastor shall pay the sum of N30,000 to the wife to enable her start a business to keep body and soul together." 
    With the above ruling, Joseph Adewusi, president of Orile-Agege Customary Court in Lagos on Monday dissolved the four-year-old marriage of Pastor Segun Fasina and his wife, Abosede.
    The petitioner, Pastor Fasina, had filed the suit on March 12, seeking dissolution of their young marriage over his wife’s allegedly infidelity. A resident of No.4 Moses Street, Alagba, Orile-Agege, Pastor Fasina told the court that Abosede had lost her sense of dignity and was now smoking and consuming alcohol.

    The pastor also said that his wife was troublesome and a gossip. “My wife, Abosede, possesses all the bad habits one can think of. She was accused of stealing a phone in our house. I believed she actually stole it because of her behaviour. She goes to other co-tenants’ apartments to gossip.

    “And whenever there is any fight in the house, my wife’s name is always mentioned. As a pastor, I have prayed for her deliverance from the evil acts but my effort was in vain. Since the marriage is childless, we owe ourselves nothing. So, I want the court to dissolve the union.”

    But Abosede, 30, denied the allegations. She said, “My husband is adulterous. He counsels his church members at home, and I discovered that most of them are ladies. He was inside the room counselling a woman when I dashed in. But to my surprise, my husband and the woman were both naked in our bed.

    “My husband beat me and threw me out of the house. When I reported the case to his father, the man said, I should not disturb his son. I am not a drunk. My husband saw me with alcohol that was meant to cleanse my stomach, so that I can get pregnant,” she said.

    While dissolving their marriage, the magistrate said the marriage had broken up irreparably.

    REVEALED! Top Nollywood Lesbians Of All Times



    Click for Full Image Size
    But for the fact that I've heard about some of the clandestine exploits of some of our Nollywood actresses, I would have been shocked by this report. However, I'm sure the contents of what you're about to read below will surprise you, and leave you asking many questions which unfortunately, MDB has no answers to..lol. Read the interesting report by Emag below:
    After a careful investigation which has taken months, we can exclusively reveal Nollywood’s lesbians of all times till date and it’s really amazing those indicted in this research.
    I got talking with an actress whose mission is to expose this rot which she claims has eaten very deep in the industry.
    ‘This is not the movie industry of our dreams, I didn’t envisage things will be this bad in Nollywood, for producers especially females to give movie roles to some group of actresses just because they are lesbian partners? God forbid!’
    Those were the exact words of the actress whose identity I will simply leave as anonymous. What does this imply you may ask? Well, I guess you should patiently read this piece to get yourself well informed on the latest sexual pervert that has dominated the world’s third largest film producing platform called Nollywood. 
    The story has only just begun ooo...there's more after the cut.

    As you read, open your discerning so as to get the gist properly, some revelations you derive here, you may not have ever heard before and would shock you. Read on…

    Talking about lesbianism in Nigeria, there is someone, whose name you cannot cast away. This is simply because she sounds like a ‘song’ and just like the songbird, when she sings every other birds keep their cool. She is chubby; dark skinned and is termed the mother of lesbians in Nollywood.

    With connections here and there, she prefers the company of young pretty ladies who satisfies her undying sexually perverted desire. Although she has an only child, but in all sincerity, love hasn’t been kind to her. A close friend of hers once told me that she resorted to this shameful demonic act after suffering several heartbreaks from men.

    Today she runs one of the most successful lesbian empires in Nigeria, with some of her cohorts being fixed in strategic positions with more and more young girls on the cue wanting to tap into her ‘current’.

    Breast bare on the other hand, in the words of a popular magazine that shares the same name with her, the next person you are reading about is pretty yes very pretty, blessed with a beautiful shape, body and skin that glows. She appears ageless all the time but already in her early thirties.

    She is however one of the most prominent lesbians of all times alongside a national honour… Despite her age, I also have it on good authority that she may not be giving marriage any trial, because like they say in Pidgin English, Wetin you dey find for Sokoto, dey inside your Shokoto. The actress and mother of one has a PA whose first name begins with the seventh alphabet, with whom she goes down low.

    The all seeing eyes also whispered into my ears that they live together in her Lekki mansion, and her so-called PA is an integral part of her life, such that she calls the shots in most cases, infact, like it was said, whoever wants see madam would have to work very hard to please her first, otherwise, you are on your own.

    Findings also revealed that the boxed up actress who has endorsed several brands in Nigeria and Abroad, also pays beautiful young girls huge amount of money in order to have carnal knowledge of them. Recently she allegedly approached a female musician who was at some time rumoured to also enjoy the thing a lot, promising her heaven and earth…I will still find out if she agreed or not, but not today.

    Just in case you think it’s finished, then I will kindly advise that you read on, because the next person is a Nigerian whose looks and skin colour resembles those from the ‘Dominican Republic’. In fact, she is as well very pretty, fair skinned and petit.

    This person operates on a different level; she takes so much Apeteshi and smokes the hell out of cigarette and at the same time enjoys the woman-to-woman affair.

    Her career once suffered setback at the emergence of some new generation talents but shortly after, she started regaining her place, after being introduced to the lesbian club. She doesn’t play only local leagues, but also international.

    I was informed that most of her lesbian partners hail from Cameroun and Kenya which explains why she frequently travels to these countries. She is also in her late 30s but is also not considering settling down any time soon.

    One thing also need to know about these lesbians is that except for some who have probably given love a trial (I mean falling in love with an opposite sex), their desire for the cu*t does not in any way debar them from getting married if the opportunity arises.

    The reason for mentioning this is that the next person you are about to read about now, is a newlywed. She studied Theatre arts, tried her hands in acting sometime in the past before going into restaurant business thereafter.

    However her second return which was situated by one of her older colleague who hails from the same state with her and also belongs to the top lesbian club was explosive. She is presently the toast of top movie producers due to her versatility and good delivery of movie scripts. Shortly after her return to the industry, her colleague turned bedmate gave her lead roles in some of her personally sponsored movies and the rest they say is history.

    However in the words of Achebe of blessed memories, years after, Things fell apart between them and everyone went their separate ways. Due to frustration, she once squatted with some of her lesbian colleagues in Lekki before being thrown out. Eventually she got her groove and rented a personal apartment in the same area, where we were told she had almost an overdose of that thing…and along the line, met her husband and shortly after they settled down.

    It cannot be overly emphasized that there is power in the names we bear. This next person hails from the South Southern part of Nigeria. And like her surname implies in Igbo language, she is truly a warrior. Shamelessly in love with controversy, rascally, consumes cigarette like it’s going out of fashion, but this act of sexual perversion has eaten so deep in her system than many ever imagined.

    According to the all seeing eyes, she is a bi-sexual and cannot do without sex whenever she is high on Indian hemp or skunk. According to findings, the product of a famous reality show in Nigeria is ready to grab the boobs of the girl next to her whenever she smokes and there is no man to do justice to her sexual desire and before you know it, one or two things will happen.

    She allegedly has a good number of her industry colleagues as bed mates and recently got serious bashing from pundits for towing a particular line which some of her predecessors went through without success.

    At this juncture, let me tell you the story of another chronic lesbian who have taken a center stage in Nollywood. She is simply ‘Eucharistic’. She is fair skinned with an intimidating body structure; once upon a time the gist was that she is a nymphomaniac, which makes her insatiable with sex.

    Once married but divorced with a male child as the product of her failed marriage. Her own case in extraordinary. I was told by the all seeing eyes that her insatiable quest for sex led her into the demonic act.

    The all seeing eyes also squealed into my ears that she once told a bed mate that a man’s di**k can’t satisfy her, which explains why she sometimes applies the vibrator with the blend of another female who will suck her underneath while she routes for the climax. She’s currently treading the religious part and was recently honoured in a new generation church.

    That however did not stop the South Eastern born actress who claims she might be giving marriage another shot soon. Lie they say, ‘the mother hen knows its chicken’ God knows those who worship him, even by their names.

    Funny enough, the list of Nollywood lesbians of all times is almost endless, and we plan to keep up with the listing, but will be drawing the cutting here for this week. Keep a date in our next edition as we continue the gist. Indeed you will be shocked the more.

    Revealed: See The LEAD MEN Behind The Biggest Planned Armed Robbery Attack In Nigeria


    photoAccordinated attempt to carry out a major robbery operation in Onitsha, Anambra State was recently foiled by officers and men of the Anambra State Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS).
    Amos Chieku, Ndubuisi Uche, Chibuike Alakwachi, Ugochukwu Igbokwe and Nonso are five members of the gang currently assisting police authorities to trace the whereabouts of other members still at large.
    A couple of weeks ago, one robbery informant reportedly alerted Uche, popularly called ‘I Chop’ of a planned movement of a large amount of money from Onitsha to an undisclosed destination, apparently by a group of businessmen. The amount involved was such that Uche, 31, alone could not handle.
    He promptly invited some ‘tested’ hands in the act of robbery to join him in the ‘business.’ Chieku, alias Danga is based in Abuja, but moves anywhere across the country to perpetrate his crime once he is called upon.
    Chieku, 23, is said to be good with guns. He is also a dependable driver. Alakwachi, 21, is based in Lagos and is reported to be a former escapee from prison for similar offence. Nonso is said to be the gang’s armourer and also good with weapons.
    Whereas Chieku hails from Enugu State, Uche is a native of Amasiri Afikpo in Ebonyi State. The third member of the gang, Igbokwe is not based in Nigeria. For seven years, he has been living in South Africa.
    Igbokwe, 27, and native of Owerri in Imo State, is not gainfully employed in the South African country, but he is occasionally invited home by the gang when there is a ‘business’ considered is requiring an expert touch. Igbokwe is reported to be a professional gun handler at least the kind of guns in the armoury of the Nigerian military.
    He is also reported to provide foreign cover for all members of the group. It was for the foiled operation that Igbokwe flew into the country from South Africa last week. So, last Sunday, all members of the gang were scheduled to meet at a hotel in Onitsha from where they would strategise before their final assault the following day, Monday, 6 May, 2013.
    Their plan was reportedly to ambush the bullion van moving the cash and intercept the convoy. It was reported that Uche, the alleged gang leader, had instructed that should there be any resistant to their action, his men should not hesitate to ‘waste’ such a person. But the news of the gang’s planned operation got to the notice of the SARS leadership, which promptly put men on alert for the gang.
    While waiting for his gang to arrive the hotel, men of the SARS reportedly swooped on Uche and he was promptly arrested. But Uche would not go down alone. So, he promised that he would assist law enforcement agents to get other members of the gang.
    So, the police decided to play along while Uche called his partners-in-crime to join him at the hotel. One by one, Chieku, Nonso, Alakwachi and Igbokwe all arrived to be welcome by Uche. To the chagrin of all, they landed in the hands of operatives of SARS team strategically stationed at the hotel. Some of their gang were said to still being awaited after Uche had called them that there was a slight change in time for the operation.
    In their confessional statements before Saturday Mirror in Awka, Chieku denied knowledge of the planned attempt to rob that day. Though he confessed to have been an armed robber before, he said he had repented a long time ago.
    He claimed he was only bringing his family from Abuja where he had accident on the way with his car. At another breadth, Chieku confessed to being a member of the gang and that it was Uche that introduced him to the ‘deal’ that led to their arrest.
    “I know that the game is up, but let I Chop tell you all I know about the business. We all met Uche at Enugu before we came to Onitsha. He was the one that called me that there is business for us at Onitsha,” Chieku added. Nonso, on his part, denied being a robber, but said that he knows Uche and Chieku who used to come and eat in his mother’s canteen in Enugu.
    This claim, Uche rejected. Uche, while confessing to his crime, said that all five of them were members of the same gang. He confirmed that Igbokwe flew into the country from Nigeria for the planned operation, while Alakwachi also came from Lagos for the same operation.
    When Saturday Mirror asked Uche how it was possible for someone to fly in from South Africa to carry out a robbery operation and also go back to that country, Uche answered, “What are you saying?
    How much is a South African ticket when you go for an operation and make N5 million or N10 million. Let me tell you that some of our gang are scattered in Lagos, Abuja and abroad. You contact those ones that you want to be in your team for a particular operation.
    The claim that they are not involved in the Onitsha operation that led to our arrest are false. They will not tell you the truth. Some months back, Alakwachi betrayed me by aligning himself with a contact I gave him and I cursed him that he would soon be caught,” Uche said.
    But Igbokwe’s claim is different. He said: “I deal in drugs in South Africa. I did not know that they are robbers. I just came home looking for some money to continue my business.
    I wanted to dupe Chiewku N300,000, but I was roped into this case.” This was, however, also denied by Uche who said Igbokwe always come from South Africa to rob, stay some time in Lagos and travel back.
    A senior member of the SARS who does not want his name in print, said that with the arrest of Uche, there would be a high degree of peace in Onitsha and the entire South East. The police officer claimed Uche has been on the wanted list of the police for a long time ago. “We have been looking for I Chop for a long time now.
    There is hardly any serious robbery in Onitsha that Uche would not be part of it. He is such a notorious robber that his name even sends jitters down the spines of security men and other criminals in the state and environs,” he said.
