Oct 17, 2016 – Nigerian Billionaire Femi Otedola’s Name Removed From African Billionaires List After Losing Over $500Million In 2 Months
Femi Otedola No Longer A Billionaire After His Networth Dropped To $550Million From $1.8Billion
Following a massive drop in his oil marketing company stock price, Nigerian oil billionaire, Femi Otedola’s name has been yanked off the list of African Billionaires.
Femi Otedola’s net worth reportedly plunged to $550million from $1.8million overnight because of a bad business decision and unstable Naira value.
According to insiders, Otedola-owned Forte Oil Plc stock price tumbled at the close of trading on Friday after the share price dropped to a one-year low of N145.
Apart from the fall in stock price, Otedola’s fortune has been adversely affected by the devaluation of Naira.
Femi Otedola’s best friend, Dangote is currently the richest man in Africa.

Oct 17, 2016 – Nigerians Living With HIV Now Taking Pediatric Drugs Due To Shortage Of Antiretroviral Drugs – UNAIDS
The Joint UN Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), says it is working to address the growing shortage of antiretroviral drugs in various health facilities in Nigeria.
Dr. Bilali Camara, the Country Director, UNAIDS, described the situation as an emergency.
He said that UNAIDS was discussing with the Federal Ministry of Health, Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (NEPHWAN) and some major donors over the issue.
Camara told NAN in Abuja today that the problem was caused by difficulties being encountered by Global Fund to manage its resources in the country.
Global Fund is one of the major donor agencies in Nigeria.
“UNAIDS is very much concerned about the antiretroviral drugs crisis in Nigeria and it is working with Country Coordinating Mechanism to quickly address the problem.
“It is a new issue that comes up within Nigeria and Global fund relationship, we are working to rebuild their confidence and bring them back to the field.
“We also want to understand that cutting and depleting their resources hurt Nigerians,” he said.
Camara said that the global fund was established to save lives, as such “its action is negatively affecting HIV/AIDS response in the country.”
“We are moving forward to rekindle global fund’s relationship with Nigeria.
“There is clarity on their expectation and what is needed from Nigeria,” Camara said.
Similarly, Mr. Victor Omosehin, the National Coordinator, NEPHWAN, told NAN that the drugs were not available in many centers.
Omosehin said people living with the HIV in Taraba now take pediatric drugs due to non-availability of the adult drugs in the state.
He said that taking pediatric drugs by adult would lead to resistance.
Omosehin urged the government and other stakeholders to provide the drugs, adding,” denying people affected by HIV access to drugs is denying them access to life.”

Russia Using World War 3 Threat To Trick Americans To Vote For Donald Trump

russia world war 3 threat donald trump
Oct 18, 2016 – World War 3, WWII Threat: Russia Playing Military Game To Trick Americans To Vote For Donald Trump
Russia Using World War 3, WWIII Threat To Trick Americans To Vote For Donald Trump
Foreign media outfits have recently carried reports of an impending World War 3.
Highlights of these reports include :
1. Russia’s deployment of nuclear capable ballistic missiles ( Iskander-M missile system, which has a 500 km striking range), to her central European border between Poland and Lithuania, countries who are allies to the United States.
2. Announcement by Russian government ministers of the building of bunkers capable of housing Moscow’s 14 million residents.
3. The conduct of civil defence drills by the Russian government for 40 million citizens.
4. A directive by the Russian government to all it’s officials to return their children schooling abroad back to Russia.
5. The escalating tension between Russia and the United States over the current civil war in Syria.
6. The strong opposition of Russia to NATO’s plans to deploy a missile defence system in Eastern Europe.
The United States of America and Russia have been long time rivals, competing for world dominance, military might, and superiority. During the years of the cold war (1947 – 1991) the then USSR and the US engaged in massive military spending to build elaborate military defence systems which lead to both countries possessing nuclear weapons capable of destroying our world several times over. The Russian government inherited the nuclear weapons of the defunct Soviet Union.
In the face of the highlighted reports which indicates a preparation by the Russian government for an impending World War 3, the United States and her Western allies seems not to give these reports any credibility. The governments of the US and her allies have made no official comments, and no heightened military activities.
Is the human race about to witness World War 3? Are the Russians serious about starting a global war? Is the long awaited Armageddon, believed by many religious groups about to happen?
Hypothetical a World War 3 would lead to great tragedies and catastrophe worldwide ; loss of human lives in millions, wide spread destruction, collapse of the economies of nations, collapse of national governments, and widespread suffering.
The Russians are just grandstanding, they don’t have the intention of starting World War 3, a global war that will lead to unimaginable destruction of human lives across the world will do the Russians no good.
The government of Russia is playing a military propaganda game, with the aim of making them look more stronger than what they are to their opponents.
It is also an attempt by the Russians to influence the outcome of the US November 8, 2016 presidential election, reports indicates the Russian government are in favour of Donald Trump becoming the next president of the United States, the aim of the Russians is to instil fear in the hearts of Americans, and this in turn will influence who they vote for.
The global fall in crude oil prices has negatively impacted the economy of Russia, the war ready posture of the government is to divert the attention of the citizens from their current economic hardship.
Over the years, the influence of Russia in Eastern Europe and globally have been on the decline, through this war ready preparations, the Russians are trying to stage a come back as a world super power.

Nigerians Who Used Boko Haram To Apply For Asylum Status In Germany For Deportation

Oct 18, 2016 – Nigerians Banned From Claiming Refugee Status In Germany..Angela Merkel Says Nigerian Asylum Seekers Using Boko Haram As Cover Up
  • Nigerians Banned From Claiming Refugee Status In Germany…10,000 Asylum Seekers For Deportation
  • Nigerians Who Used Boko Haram To Apply For Asylum Status In Germany For Deportation
Few days after meeting President Buhari, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has ordered Germany to stop accepting asylum seekers from Nigeria because most of them are using Boko Haram as cover up to stay in Germany legally.
According to her, over 10,000 who applied for asylum in Germany this year would be sent home.
After her tour of Mali, Niger and Ethiopia, the politician said she came to realise that most Nigerians claiming to have fled over Boko Haram insurgency were only looking for an easier life.
She said this is in contrast to those running from bloodthirsty ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
Angela Merkel said not all Nigerians who claim to be fleeing Boko Haram are doing so, and are therefore ineligible for international protection under the conditions afforded to asylum seekers.


Over 10,000 Nigerians who used Boko Haram as cover up in Germany are now facing deportation.

Obama Says Donald Trump Unfit As US President Over Planned Visit To Putin

Oct 18, 2016 – Obama Says Donald Trump Unfit As US President Over Planned Visit To Putin
President Obama has told Donald Trump to “stop whining” following his claims that next month’s election will be rigged.
He said Mr Trump’s attempt to discredit a poll before it has even taken place is “unprecedented” for a US presidential candidate.
Also “unprecedented”, said Mr Obama, was the Republican candidate’s “flattery” of Russia’s president.
Mr Trump is facing sinking poll numbers and accusations of sexual assault.
The businessman-turned-politician has claimed the 8 November election will be “absolutely rigged” for Hillary Clinton.
But in a White House Rose Garden news conference alongside visiting Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on Tuesday, Mr Obama said his assertions were “based on no facts”.
“I’d advise Mr Trump to stop whining and try to make his case to get votes,” Mr Obama said.
“By the way,” he added, “doesn’t really show the kind of leadership and toughness that you want out of a president, if you start whining before the game’s even over.
“If whenever things are going badly for you and you lose you start blaming somebody else, then you don’t have what it takes to be in this job.”
Mr Obama also addressed the Republican candidate’s admiring remarks about Vladimir Putin.

“Mr Trump’s continued flattery of Mr Putin and the degree to which he appears to model much of his policies and approach to politics on Mr Putin is unprecedented,” he said.
His broadside comes a day after Mr Trump said he would consider visiting Russia before taking office, if elected.
He told a talk-radio host: “If I win on November 8, I could see myself meeting with Putin and meeting with Russia prior to the start of the administration.”

Human Sacrifices & Rituals Ongoing Inside Aso Rock Caused By Witches & Wizards – Reuben Abati

human sacrifices aso rock
Oct 14, 2016 – Human Sacrifices & Rituals Ongoing Inside Aso Rock Caused By Witches, Wizards & Evil Spirits In Operation –  Reuben Abati
People tend to be alarmed when the Nigerian Presidency takes certain decisions. They don’t think the decision makes sense. Sometimes, they wonder if something has not gone wrong with the thinking process at that highest level of the country. I have heard people insist that there is some form of witchcraft at work in the country’s seat of government. I am ordinarily not a superstitious person, but working in the Villa, I eventually became convinced that there must be something supernatural about power and closeness to it. I’ll start with a personal testimony. I was given an apartment to live in inside the Villa. It was furnished and equipped.
But when my son, Michael arrived, one of my brothers came with a pastor who was supposed to stay in the apartment. But the man refused claiming that the Villa was full of evil spirits and that there would soon be a fire accident in the apartment. He complained about too much human sacrifice around the Villa and advised that my family must never sleep overnight inside the Villa.
I thought the man was talking nonsense and he wanted the luxury of a hotel accommodation. But he turned out to be right. The day I hosted family friends in that apartment and they slept overnight, there was indeed a fire accident. The guests escaped and they were so thankful. Not long after, the President’s physician living two compounds away had a fire accident in his home. He and his children could have died. He escaped with bruises. Around the Villa while I was there, someone always died or their relations died. I can confirm that every principal officer suffered one tragedy or the other; it was as if you needed to sacrifice something to remain on duty inside that environment.
Even some of the women became merchants of dildo because they had suffered a special kind of death in their homes (I am sorry to reveal this) and many of the men complained about something that had died below their waists too. The ones who did not have such misfortune had one ailment or the other that they had to nurse. From cancer to brain and prostate surgery and whatever, the Villa was a hospital full of agonizing patients.
I recall the example of one particular man, an asset to the Jonathan Presidency who practically ran away from the Villa. He said he needed to save his life. He was quite certain that if he continued to hang around, he would die. I can’t talk about colleagues who lost daughters and sons, brothers and uncles, mothers and fathers, and the many obituaries that we issued. Even the President was multiply bereaved. His wife, Mama Peace was in and out of hospital at a point, undergoing many surgeries.
You may have forgotten but after her husband lost the election and he conceded victory, all her ailments vanished, all scheduled surgeries were found to be no longer necessary and since then she has been hale and hearty. By the same token, all those our colleagues who used to come to work to complain about a certain death beneath their waists and who relied on videos and other instruments to entertain wives (take it easy boys, I don’t mean nay harm, I am writing!), have all experienced a re-awakening.
Every one who went under the blade has received miraculous healing, and we are happy to be out of that place. But others were not so lucky. They died. There were days when convoys ran into ditches and lives were lost. In Norway, our helicopter almost crashed into a mountain. That was the first time I saw the President panicking. The weather was all so hazy and he just kept saying it would not be nice for the President of a country to die in a helicopter crash due to pilot miscalculations. The President went into a prayer mode. We survived. In Kenya once, we had a bird strike.
The plane had to be recalled and we were already airborne with the plane acting like it would crash. During the 2015 election campaigns, our aircraft refused to start on more than one occasion. The aircraft just went dead. On some other occasions, we were stoned and directly targeted for evil. I really don’t envy the people who work in Aso Villa, the seat of Nigeria’s Presidency. For about six months, I couldn’t even breathe properly. For another two months, I was on crutches. But I considered myself far luckier than the others who were either nursing a terminal disease or who could not get it up.
When Presidents make mistakes, they are probably victims of a force higher than what we can imagine. Every student of Aso Villa politics would readily admit that when people get in there, they actually become something else. They act like they are under a spell. When you issue a well-crafted statement, the public accepts it wrongly. When the President makes a speech and he truly means well, the speech is interpreted wrongly by the public. When a policy is introduced, somehow, something just goes wrong. In our days, a lot of people used to complain that the APC people were fighting us spiritually and that there was a witchcraft dimension to the governance process in Nigeria.
But the APC folks now in power are dealing with the same demons. Since Buhari government assumed office, it has been one mistake after another. Those mistakes don’t look normal, the same way they didn’t look normal under President Jonathan. I am therefore convinced that there is an evil spell enveloping this country. We need to rescue Nigeria from the forces of darkness. Aso Villa should be converted into a spiritual museum, and abandoned.
Should I become President of Nigeria tomorrow, I will build a new Presidential Villa: a Villa that will be dedicated to the all-conquering Almighty, and where powers and principalities cannot hold sway. But it is not about buildings and space, not so?. It is about the people who go to the highest levels in Nigeria. I really don’t quite believe in superstitions, but I am tempted to suggest that this is indeed a country in need of prayers, We should pray before people pack their things into Aso Villa. We should ask God to guide us before we appoint Ministers. We should, to put it in technocratic language, advise that the people should be very vigilant. We have all failed so far, that crucial test of vigilance. We should have a Presidential Villa where a President can afford to be human and free. In the White House, in the United States, Presidents live like normal human beings. In Aso Villa, that is impossible. They’d have to surround themselves with cooks from their villages, bodyguards from their mother’s clans and friends they can trust. It should be possible to be President of Nigeria without having to look behind one’s shoulders.
But we are not yet there. So, how do we run a Presidency where the man in the saddle can only drink water served by his kinsman? No. How can we possibly run a Presidency where every President proclaims faith in Nigeria but they are better off in the company of relatives and kinsmen. No. We need as Presidents men and women who are wiling to be Nigerians. No Nigerian President should be in spiritual bondage because he belongs to all of us and to nobody.
Now let me go back to the spiritual dimension. A colleague once told me that I was the most naïve person around the place. I thought I was a bright, smart, professional doing my bit and enjoying the President’s confidence. I spelled it out. But what I got in response was that I was coming to the villa using Lux soap, but that most people around the place always bathed in the morning with blood. Goat blood. Ram blood. Whatever animal blood. I argued. He said there were persons in the Villa walking upside down, head to the ground. I screamed. Everybody looked normal to me.
But I soon began to suspect that I was in a strange environment indeed. Every position change was an opportunity for warfare. Civil servants are very nice people; they obey orders, but they are not very nice when they fight over personal interests.
The President is most affected by the atmosphere around him. He can make wrong decisions based on the cloud of evil around him. Even when he means well and he has taken time to address all possible outcomes, he could get on the wrong side of the public. A colleague called me one day and told me a story about how a decision had been taken in the spiritual realm about the Nigerian government.
He talked about the spirit of error, and how every step taken by the administration would appear to the public like an error. He didn’t resign on that basis but his words proved prophetic. I see the same story being re-enacted. Aso Villa is in urgent need of redemption. I never slept in the apartment they gave me in that Villa for an hour.

Femi Fani Kayode In Legal Mess As FG Files New Money Laundering Charges Against Him

fani kayode legal trouble
Oct 15, 2016 – Femi Fani Kayode In Legal Trouble As FG Files New Money Laundering Charges Against Him
The FG has initiated a fresh charge of money laundering against former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Fani-Kayode, who was the Director of Media and Publicity in the campaign organisation of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, is already standing trial on a 17-count charge of money laundering before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Fani-Kayode is being tried in Lagos with a former Finance Minister, Nenadi Usman, Danjuma Yusuf and a firm, Joint Trust Dimension Nig. Ltd.
They are charged with unlawful retention, unlawful use and unlawful payment of money to the tune of N4.9 billion on the defendants.
The new charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/140/2016, which has Femi Fani-Kayode as the sole defendant, was filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Fani-Kayode is accused, in the five-count charge, of diverting N26million, which he allegedly received from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) while Sambo Dsuki was in office.
He is also accused of handling the said N26miliion without using a financial institution as required under the Money Laundering Act.
When the case was called yesterday before Justice John Tsoho, the prosecution was absent.
Although Fani-Kayode was absent, he was represented by a team of lawyers led by Wale Balogun. Balogun said he did not know why the prosecution, who filed the charge and was aware of the date, was absent.
He complained that his client was yet to be served with the charge as required. He sought for time, following which the judge adjourned to November 10 for arraignment.
Justice Tsoho ordered that hearing notice be served on the EFCC.
