Please dissolve our one-week marriage, his manhood is too big, I can’t cope – Wife tells court

A Sharia Court in Samaru, Gusau, Zamfara State,
was thrown into laughter during the week, when a
housewife, Aisha Dannupawa, pleaded with the
court to dissolve her one-week marriage to her
husband, Ali Maizinari, because she could not cope
with the size of his penis.

When the case came up, Aisha told the court that
she married her husband after the failure of her
first marriage.

Aisha, who is a mother of three told the court that
before she packed into her husband’s house, as
the tradition demanded, she was invited into his
parents house, adding that “when he came, we had
sex but the experience was a nightmare. Instead of
enjoying the sex, it turned out to be something else
because his penis was too big.”

She also revealed to the court that after the
horrible experience, she took some medication,
which was given to her by her mother.

“I told my mother about the experience but she told
me to endure and that with time, I will be able to
cope. She then gave me some drugs,” she said.

She continued, “two days later when he came to
visit me, we had sex again, but the experience was
too much to bear. It was then I knew that I could
not continue with the marriage because of the size
of his penis.”

The husband, Maizinari, who did not deny the
wife’s allegation, told the court that he was willing
to divorce her only if she would pay back the
dowry and all that he spent on her during the
courtship.

When he was asked to state the total amount
spent, Maizinari said that what he expected from
her was N60,000.

However, the President of the court, Alhaji
Mamman Shinkafi, told the couple to try to reconcile
before their next date in court.

APC raise alarm over fresh plot by Jonathan, PDP to remove Jega next week

Members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in
the Senate have raised the alarm over an alleged
fresh plot by the Federal Government to prevent
the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, from
conducting the forthcoming general elections.

The APC senators, led by George Akume, disclosed
this in a news conference in Abuja on Thursday.
They said a reliable source informed them that the
Head of Service would direct Jega to proceed on his
pre-retirement leave next week.

“We have received information from a very credible
source that next week, the Chairman of INEC will be
given a letter from the office of the Head of the
Civil Service to proceed on a terminal leave,” they
said.

According to the APC Senators, the Federal
Government was trying to use a circular from the
HoS dated August 11, 2010 to place Jega on
compulsory pre-retirement leave.

“Whether the letter emanates from the HoS office
or the Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, it does not make sense. Even if we go
by the terms of the Civil Service circular of August
11, 2010, (it) is not applicable whatsoever to the
INEC chairman,” they said.

The APC lawmakers said that the circular, with
reference number HCSF/CMO/1772/TI/11, talks
about clarifications on pre-retirement leave, which
is only applicable to tenured officers who are career
civil servants.

They explained that anyone who has spent 30
years in service or has attained 60 years of age
was bound to disengage officially from the service,
adding that the case of Jega, however, did not fall
into any of these categories.

The lawmakers alleged that Jega’s offence was his
readiness to conduct the elections when the
Peoples Democratic Party-controlled Federal
Government was not ready for it.

They also stated that using the issue of card
readers to discredit Jega would not work because
the National Assembly appropriated money for that
purpose.

They said, “We want a credible election but in a
situation where we are being informed that because
the postponement of the elections attracted no
reaction from the people, Jega could be removed
for a plan-less person who will do the bidding of
the government, doesn’t hold water.

“You cannot start a game which is about to end and
suddenly you want to change the goalpost. You
don’t want a referee that is fair to all. You want to
have someone who will subvert the whole system
for sinister, personal purposes.

“We will continue to say no to impunity. We will
continue to say no to any attempt to undermine the
credibility of the forthcoming elections.

“We therefore want to appeal to Nigerians to be
steadfast to keep watch so that their labour will
not be in vain. If Ghana and other countries can get
it right, Nigeria can also get it right.

“We are opposed to the removal of Jega because it
is criminal, illegal and unconstitutional. They want
to remove him through the back door.”

Akume, however, said that President Goodluck
Jonathan reserved the right to remove Jega but
that he could not unilaterally do so without seeking
the permission of the National Assembly through a
two-thirds majority.

The APC lawmakers also stated clearly that
Jonathan lacked the legal powers to suspend the
Jega under whatever guise.

They said, “Section 157(1) clearly states that the
president can only remove Jega with the vote of
2/3 majority of all senators. Under whatever guise;
whether suspension, retirement or voluntary leave
he cannot be removed.

“Section 157 (1) of the 1999 Constitution (as
amended), the President cannot remove the INEC
Chairman from office without getting approval of
the Upper Chamber.

“Section 157 (1) of the Constitution reads, “…a
person holding any of the offices to which this
section applies may only be removed from that
office by the president acting on an address
supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate,
praying that he be so removed for inability to
discharge the functions of the office.”

I have nothing personal against Buhari, but I won’t stop attacking him – Fayose

Governor of Ekiti state, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has
said that he will not stop attacking the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Muhammadu Buhari.

Fayose, who spoke through his Chief Press
Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on
Thursday, said he owed nobody any apology for
exposing “the alleged hypocrisy of the APC
leaders.”

He also accused them of placing personal interests
above national interest
The governor, who said he had nothing personal
against the APC candidate was reacting to
criticisms that had trailed his campaign for the re-
election of President Goodluck Jonathan of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and his continuous
attacks on Buhari.

Fayose said the APC has not only packaged lies
and tried to deceive Nigerians, it had also
compromised the Independent National Electoral
Commission, INEC, to rig the election earlier
scheduled for February 14 in their favour.

He said, “I remember then as the ad hoc chairman
of the PDP committee to shop for the presidential
candidate to replace former President Olusegun
Obasanjo, a crop of suitable, brilliant, healthy and
competent northern politicians in the PDP were
shortlisted by me for Obasanjo to pick from, but he
overruled the list and asked me to contact the late
Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua because he preferred him.

“In fairness to the late President, he objected to
the offer on health grounds, but Obasanjo insisted
that he must be the President.”
Fayose also questioned why Buhari could not
appear at the APC organised rally in London on
Wednesday if indeed he was not on hospital bed,
adding that the much-talked about Chatham House
speech was “a face-saving measure” to cover the
true position of Buhari’s health.

The governor alleged that most of those attacking
him were doing so because he stuck out his neck to
expose the lies of the APC, explaining that after he
proved to the world that Buhari was interviewed in
Abuja and not in London, the party (APC) has
failed to prove him wrong.

PDP’s oath-taking allegation against Tinubu outlandish.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said the
sickening and outlandish claim by the Jonathan
campaign Organization that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu plans to become Vice President through the
back door was designed to divert attention from
the runaway success of the APC presidential
candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, at the
Chatham House in London last Thursday.

In a statement issued in London on Saturday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party said the PDP and the Jonathan
Administration still do not have any answer to
what has now become an epochal moment that has
separated the wheat from the chaff.

”Our presidential candidate’s globally-acclaimed
outing has presented Nigerians, and indeed the
global community, with a choice between a
bumbling, ineffective, incoherent, clueless,
visionless and incompetent President and an
assertive, knowledgeable, dignified, purposeful and
principled President-in-waiting.

”Having failed to discredit that outing with a rented
crowd, some of whom confessed to have been paid
to carry placards they do not even understand, the
PDP and the Jonathan Administration have now
resorted to making nauseating claims that are
totally untrue, absolutely incomprehensible and
nothing but sheer bunkum,” it said.

APC said the claim is the latest in a series of
desperate moves by the PDP and the Jonathan
Administration since the emergence of Gen. Buhari
as the APC presidential candidate, and the clearest
indication yet that they have no answer to the
unstoppable momentum of a man of history.

”They have thrown everything imaginable at Gen.
Buhari, but he has continued to wax stronger and
stronger: They said he was not qualified, that he
was too old, then they fabricated a medical report
of an illness of their own choice, sponsored death
wish adverts against him and instituted a myriad of
court cases to stop him.

”After they failed to stop him, they went after the
election itself, using the PVCs as a tool to launch a
campaign for postponement and, when they realized
that would not work, came up with the bogey of
insecurity in the North-east to force a
postponement of the election, hoping they can buy
enough time to revive their electoral misfortune.

”With everything working against them, they
engaged in a show of shame at The Chatham House
that backfired badly, on the heels of their bare-
faced lies that Gen. Buhari was hospitalized in
London. The preposterous claim of a secret oath –
reminiscent of what they do in their own party – by
the apparently ailing spokesman of the Jonathan
Campaign Organization, Femi Fani-Kayode, is their
latest desperate act,” the party said.

APC said in as much as it has so far refrained from
engaging Fani-Kayode in his game of character
assassination, abuses and irresponsible name
calling, the party is becoming seriously concerned
that he may be caving in under pressure and
reverting to his undignified past of substance
abuse.

The party said it would be a real tragedy if the
obviously-disturbed spokesman of a doomed
presidential campaign will have to be rushed to a
back house in Ghana for therapeutics, hence the
need for his handlers to quickly put him on a leash
before it is too late.

The Certainty Of Jonathan's Victory

With the presidential elections four weeks away, Nigerians are
set for a spectacular déjà vu. The APC, despite the din of its
premature celebrations, is headed for a pasting. The reasons
are obvious. Take the APC hawkers and their ware, to begin
with. An Igbo proverb says that the eye eats before the mouth.
But the leading APC vendors happen to be Alhaji Tinubu and
Chief Obasanjo. Their mention is nothing to do with their
physical appearance. After all, neither created himself. It rather
has everything to do with the ugliness of their politics.

Obasanjo carries on, regardless. But he it was that wiped out
Odi and Zaki Biam with military expeditions, and he also
contrived a futile third term project that set off a hemorrhage
in the nation’s finances. Tinubu, for his unflattering part, is
fronting a campaign against corruption, a topic he has never
referred to in all the verbiage he has deemed fit to harangue
the wary and weary with. How, then, can the duo market a
product from which the masses, who remember, screen their
faces? It was Buhari, the military dictator, who cancelled the
Lagos Metroline Project conceived by Governor Lateef Jakande.
The spiteful action cost Nigeria billions, and continues to cost
Nigerians even greater billions in terms of endless traffic jams
and the daily loss of incalculable man hours. Yet, Alhaji Buhari
has never apologized for that unpatriotic action.

How does one expect this man in whose dictionary the word
compunction does not exist to be the harbinger of change?
Invited to the presidential debate, people hoped Buhari’s
participation would reveal whether or not he has progressed
from the stone-age policy of trade-by-barter (countertrade),
which his junta inflicted on the polity decades ago. He
demurred, citing negative press. People laughed who believe
that he ducked to mask his diffidence. But, where else in the
world would a presidential candidate with pretensions to
seriousness dodge an interlocution with colleagues? Rather,
Buhari headed for London in the teeth of winter, there to
confer with Mr. Tony Blair, a former Prime Minister who
vacated office nearly a decade ago!

Had Buhari’s handlers packaged his UK trip with a modicum of
honesty, some of his less alarming deficits may have been
overlooked. Instead, they posted 2013 pictures of the man in
London, in an untidy effort to deflect charges that he hit the
British capital for health reasons. Not only that, they
excavated pictures taken at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, and
claimed it was Buhari in London granting an interview. It all
brought to mind another of their disingenuous lies – the
posting of the photograph of a mammoth congregation at a
Reinhard Bonnke religious crusade which it named Buhari’s
Kano campaign. Why does the APC believe that Nigerians are
so gullible that they would confuse its penchant for mendacity
with the magic of change?

Despite the raggedness of its product, the APC managed a lot
of traction, it must be acknowledged. How the party contrived
this is not difficult to tell. Using huge sums of money the
source of which it dares not declare, the party engaged
lobbyists in America and Britain who influenced leading
Western publications into dishing out sawdust aimed at
demonizing President Jonathan and discrediting his
administration.

Back in Nigeria, the APC appropriated the social media, using it
to skew polls and promote a façade of Buhari invincibility. In
the wake of the media blitzkrieg, textbook Marxists,
Communists and Socialists around tertiary institutions who
previously speechified students on the fine points of
progressivism, shamelessly lined up behind stationary broom-
wielders with a fake promise of change on their tongue, vowing
to go blindfolded with them into battle! It didn’t occur to the lot
that, in the age of vacuum cleaners, the broom is anachronistic.
It all explains why, without realizing that a lot of these
“revolutionary” characters are actually anticipating another
Yar’Adua-out-Jonathan-in scenario, Buhari claimed victory well
before the first vote was cast! What if he lost, journalists
asked. “I will not answer that question because I cannot lose”,
he responded. But defeat already stares him in the face
because the people have seen through the hypocrisy of the
APC, a party so unpatriotic that it has, so far, contributed
absolutely nothing to the efforts to defeat Boko Haram.

Gallant and youthful Nigerian soldiers, with pluck and
gumption, are dying every day to save the country from the
blight of terrorism. The lines of their widows and the queues of
their orphans are lengthening by the hour. But whereas
Cameroonians, Chadians and Nigeriens are united in their own
countries against Boko Haram, the APC has nothing but
orchestrated blame and censure for the best efforts of our
Commander-in-Chief and our armed forces. That is not the way
to win elections. The APC already danced itself lame while the
music has just started. It since ran out of gas. And the ballot
is still four weeks away.

President Jonathan was asked what will happen if he lost. “I
will hand over power to the victorious candidate” he answered.
That is the real face of democratic change, which is self-
evident in his Transformation Agenda. He will not lose; he has
four more years of selfless service to render to his
appreciative countrymen and women.

Northern Christians Leaders Claim To Be Threatened For Dumping President Jonathan For Buhari

A group under the aegis of Northern Christian
Leaders Eagle Eyes Forum (NCLEEF) have alleged
that its leaders have been receiving death threats
since they endorsed the All Progressives Congress,
APC’s, presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the chairman of the Forum, Pastor
Aminchi Habu, who addressed a news conference in
Kaduna on Friday, President Goodluck Jonathan’s
tenure in the past six years has been a huge
disappointment to Nigerians and the Christian
community in particular.

Pastor Habu said it was based on this that the
Christian Forum decided to dump Jonathan and
endorse Buhari who they believe could tackle the
problem of insecurity in the country.

“Our decision to endorse Buhari was informed by
our commitment to build a free, fair and a secular
society where the inheritance should be justice to
all.

“After the endorsement, our members, especially
the chairman of this forum, have continued to
receive threatening phone calls and text messages,
calling us a sell-out group who have abandoned a
Christian candidate in the person of President
Goodluck Jonathan,” Habu said.

Prominent Yoruba people have endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan for re-election.

The Yoruba leaders endorsed the President during a
summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State on Thursday.

The summit which was tagged “The national
conference, 2015 elections and the Yoruba Nation,”
took place at the Premier Hotel, Ibadan where the
presidential candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari
(retd) was rejected.

They claimed Buhari did so many damages to the
zone during his tenure as head of state and that
they were not ready to forgive him.

The summit was organized by the Ondo State
Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, and had many
prominent Yoruba sons and daughters in
attendance, including ; Chief Olu Falae, former
Presidential candidate of the Alliance for
Democracy/ All Peoples Party; Chief Reuben
Fasoranti, Leader, Afenifere; General Adeyinka
Adebayo (retd), leader of the Yoruba Council of
Elders; Senator Femi Okurounmu; Otunba Kunle
Olajide, former Secretary, YCE; Chief Shuaibu
Oyedokun, PDP leader; Archbishop Ayo Ladigbolu;
Otunba Gbenga Daniels, former Governor of Ogun
State; Otunba Adebayo Alao-Akala, former
governor of Oyo State; Mr. Peter Obi, former
Governor of Anambra State; Dr. Doyin Okupe,
Senior Special Assistant (Public Affairs) to
President Jonathan; Otunba Iyiola Omisore; Chief
Richard Akinjide (SAN), former Minister of Justice
and Attorney General of the Federation; and
Senator Lekan Balogun, a PDP chieftain.

Also at the summit were Oloye Jumoke Akinjide,
Minister of State, FCT; Prof. Wale Oladipo, national
secretary of PDP; Mr. Yinka Odumakin, Publicity
Secretary, Afenifere; Senator Teslim Folarin, PDP
governorship candidate in Oyo State; Otunba Gani
Adams, Oodua Peoples Congress national co-
ordinator; Prof. Temitope Alonge, Chief Medical
Director, University College Hospital, some
members of Accord Party and Labour Party among
others.
Governor Mimiko who organized the summit said,
“Today, the Yoruba people have marched out in
their large numbers to their political capital, Ibadan
to discuss and articulate once more, an issue which
for decades, has been considered to be the main
agenda for their race. You will recall that for
several decades, the Yoruba were at the fore front
of the agitation for the convocation of a National
Conference.

“I, therefore, congratulate the Yoruba Nation and
all Nigerians that finally, their dream of coming
together to dialogue how they should be governed
has come to reality.

“Let me salute President Jonathan for his bold and
momentous move as well as his focused leadership
which was demonstrated through his compliance
with the agitations by Nigerians to debate their
collective future. Convening the 2014 National
Conference was
indeed a historic assignment that we are proud of
and as a people, we must do everything possible to
ensure that the Confab recommendations get
implemented.

“The Confab Report when implemented, will create
room for each state to have its own constitution,
its own police force, its own prison service, can
create its own local governments, can build its own
airports, seaports and railways and in addition; in
the economic domain, solid minerals that had been
the exclusive
preserve of the Federal Government since
independence, have now been brought to the
concurrent list.
“States can now create employment and develop at
their own pace. With all that, it liberates
everybody, it opens up the political space.”
