Aisha Yesufu: I do not believe the President when he said he was not aware of the IG leaving Benue

I do not believe the President when he said he was not aware of the IG leaving Benue – Aisha Yesufu

Co-convener of Bring Back Our Girls, Aisha Yesufu has revealed that she doubts President Buhari wasn’t aware that the Inspector General of police had left Benue state against his orders. She believes those words from the president are mere excuses. She also made it clear to the president that the cold welcome he received on arrival in Benue is an hint to what is likely to happen in 2019 if he choses to go to the polls.

Read her tweets below.

”Dear President Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhariThank you for giving me a break yesterday. I didn’t need to tweet about your incompetence cluelessness directionless & ineptitude you showed it to Nigerians for them to see it loud & clear They heard it from the horse’s mouth #BuhariMustGo

Mr President you also said it yourself to whom your loyalty is. It was to the men around you and not to the people of Nigeria. #BuhariMustGo

Mr President we had seen this in your actions but there were many who were more tolerant and had kept on giving you benefit of doubt who needed to hear it from you and they did hear it. #BuhariMustGo

Mr President you have chosen to hear what is most important to you. While within days you knew what bulldozer did in Kaduna State you failed to find out what was happening in Benue State. #BuhariMustGo

Mr President even though you were told of more deaths in Benue State you refused to question the IG you sent to Benue on why there was more deaths instead you chose to be loyal to the IG. #BuhariMustGo

Mr President it’s okay you have chosen whom you stand with. We also would choose whom we would stand with. #BuhariMustGo

Mr President, what you got from the people of Benue is a teaser of what awaits you in many more States. The silent majority would not be silent for too long. #BuhariMustGo

In Taraba you said you get intelligence and didn’t need to leave Aso Villa to be able to get information on what is happening in the Nation and there you were in Benue telling the world you didn’t know what every Tom, Dick and Harry knew. Mr President what a shame! #BuhariMustGo

Now I understand the expression that a bad person doesn’t feel ashamed it’s the people around him/her that do. Honestly Mr President I feel so very ashamed on your behalf #BuhariMustGo

Mr President, I have so much sympathy for those who still defend you and you make their job of defending you so hard. Mr President can’t you give them a break? #BuhariMustGo

Mr President everyone has 5 minutes of being the opposite of who they are in a day. Please use yourb5 minutes to be competent and give us a break from the comedy you have turned governance to. #BuhariMustGo

I want to say to Benue people Thank you for showing President Muhammadu Buhari @MBuhari the reality on ground. The reality he is being shielded from. #BuhariMustGo

PS I do not believe the President when he said he was not aware of the IG leaving Benue. He thinks his usual I DON’T KNOW gets him off the hook. #BuhariMustGo

Sorry Mr President you are paid to know what the IG ate for dinner. The bucks stop at your table. No excuses. #BuhariMustGo

If the President has no update on IG of @police how do you expect him to have update on Shekau? Cluelessness is a disease! #BuhariMustGo

Mr President I am just hearing that @FemAdesina reputedly said IG @PoliceNG is abroad. Is it true? If yes then you have taken Nigeria so low that we would need ladder to climb the belly of a snake. #BuhariMustGo

Pastoralists attack villagers in Ebonyi, cut off hands

Fulani herdsmen attack villagers inEbonyi, cut off their hands and put them to death.

Fulani herdsmen have been blamed for a spate of killings across Nigeria  (Nigeria Master Web)

Herdsmen believed to be of Fulani extraction attacked a villager tending to his cattle in Ebonyi, before chopping off his hands.

The incident occurred in Igbeagu Community, Izzi local government area of Ebonyi.

Police spokesperson in Ebonyi, Loveth Odah told newsmen that “as they attacked him, he managed to raise an alarm and more villagers came to his rescue".

Odah said as the farmer’s hands were getting cut off, villagers who rushed to the scene to save their kinsman, were lacerated with machetes by the irate herdsmen.

More villagers however arrived the scene, beat the herdsmen to a pulp before handing them to soldiers patrolling the community, eyewitnesses told Pulse.

The wounded farmers were rushed to the Federal Teaching Hospital in Abakaliki.

Dead farmers

However, they didn’t make it alive.

“One of the herdsmen later died as he was being rushed to the hospital, making it four deaths”, Odah said.

Rampaging herdsmen have been blamed for a slew of killings and rustling across Nigeria in recent times.

In January, Benue buried 73 victims of herdsmen attacks in one day.

The northern States of Nasarawa, Plateau, Kaduna and Zamfara have also experienced varying degrees of barbaric attacks from gunmen masquerading as pastoralists.

Girl commits suicide over JAMB score

UGHELLI— EXACTLY a week after a female banker allegedly committed suicide by drinking insecticide in Ughelli, Delta State, another girl reportedly drank same poisonous substance, leading to her death, because she failed JAMB examination.

The girl, simply identified as Loveth, aged 18, and resident of Imowhe Street, had gone to check her JAMB score on Tuesday, where it was discovered that she performed below her expectations in the exam.

Sources at the centre disclosed that the girl, who scored 160, started crying, saying “My father will kill me.”

Another source, who visited the girl’s family residence, disclosed that she had collected three bottles of the poisonous substance from her mother’s shop the previous night.

According to the source, “the father said he did not scold her for her result, but only told her that there is no way she would get admitted to study medicine in the university of her choice.

“Feeling slighted for her poor performance after her encounter with her father, she went to stay with her mum in their shop, collected the poison after they closed.

“She brought it home and drank the content. Her lifeless body was discovered on Wednesday (yesterday) morning.”

It was gathered that after her remains was discovered, her parents rushed her to a pentecostal church at Upper Agbarho for prayers, were she was confirmed dead.

At press time, efforts to speak with the state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Andrew Aniamaka, was fruitless.

Police arrests mad man who hacked 2 Ogun primary school pupils to death

Police arrests mad man who hacked 2 Ogun primary school pupils to death

Some youths in the area nabbedAdebisi and handed him to the police today.

Police have finally arrested Lekan Adebisi, the mentally deranged man who hacked two students of Saint John’s Anglican Primary School, Agodo, Ogun State to death.

The four-year-old pupils – Mubarak Kalesowo and Sunday Obituyi – were gruesomely murdered by the mad man who somehow found his way into the school’s premises during lunch break on Monday.

Adebisi disappeared into thin air after committing the crime and police had declared him wanted.

Police’s search efforts yielded positive result in the early hours of today when the suspect was seen in a bush around the community.

He was said to have resisted arrest and attacked the officers with a sharp cutlass. He was subsequently shot on the leg.

He has been taken to the hospital.

Conte: The result was unfair

Conte: The result was unfair

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte lavished praise on Barcelona match-winner Lionel Messi on Wednesday following his side’s 3-0 defeat, but insisted that the result was "unfair".

Messi scored a goal in each half, the second his 100th Champions League goal, and produced an assist for Ousmane Dembele as the Spanish giants ran out 4-1 winners on aggregate.

The loss means Chelsea could miss out on the competition next season if they fail to make the top four in the Premier League, but Conte said he was pleased with the effort of his players.

"We have no regrets," said the Italian.

"If you watch the game, you can see the final result is unfair."

“A fantastic player moved the final result, moved the qualification over the two legs,” he added, referring to Messi.

“I have to praise the commitment of my players, and be proud because they gave everything. But Messi made the difference and, when you have the opportunity to make a great compliment to Messi, it’s right to praise a super, super, super top player.

“A player who is able to score 60 goals in every season. Not only for one season. We are talking about an extraordinary player, the best in the world.

“He’s a player who can change the final result for any team he is playing in. But he started to play with Barcelona and, for sure, he will finish his career in Barcelona.

“Many teams can hope to have him in their team, but it won’t be possible.

“This is a great story for Barcelona and Messi. This type of player is born once every 50 years. We are talking about one single player with this capacity, with this ability, with these skills. He’s fantastic.”

Conte, whose side created many chances and hit the woodwork four times over the two matches, said he considered the Blues had been unlucky.

“They scored three times but I think we didn’t deserve this type of result,” he said.

“We were a bit unlucky because we created many chances to score. I think there was a penalty on Marcos Alonso at the start of the second half and, if you make it 2-1, you can put a bit of pressure on Barcelona.

“At the end, I repeat. I must be pleased with the commitment of my players. I saw great work from my players.”

How Chelsea could line up against Barcelona

How Chelsea could line up against Barcelona

Antonio Conte will be looking to channel the spirit of his compatriot Roberto Di Matteo and the 2012 Champions League-winning Chelsea squad when his side travel to the Camp Nou to take on Barcelona this evening.

The Blues memorably recorded a 2-2 draw at the home of the Spanish giants on their most recent visit to go through to the 2012 final on aggregate, where they subsequently beat Bayern Munich to lift the trophy for the first, and so far only, time.

Chelsea again have it all to do tonight courtesy of Lionel Messi's away goal at Stamford Bridge last month, leaving the Premier League champions needing a win or score draw to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Chelsea could line up against Ernesto Valverde's side.

Conte described his side's performance in the first leg as "almost perfect", so he is unlikely to make many changes to his starting XI from that match at Stamford Bridge.

One area he may look to change is up front, though. Eden Hazard played as a false nine in the first leg and applied himself well, but he was ineffective in the same position against Manchester City recently and has openly spoken about his dislike for the role.

Instead, Conte could hand a second consecutive start to Olivier Giroud, who has not yet featured in the Champions League for Chelsea but was unfortunate not to open his Premier League account for the club against Crystal Palace at the weekend.

Former Real Madrid striker Alvaro Moratais out of favour and seemingly not trusted in the big games anymore, which could provide Giroud with the chance to nail down a starting spot with a good performance at the Camp Nou.

That would see Hazard drop back to his preferred wide role and former Barca manPedro is the most likely to drop out considering Willian's recent form - which includes the opening goal in the first leg of this tie.

Victor Moses should return at right wing-back after being rested at the weekend, while Conte is also likely to keep faith withAndreas Christensen despite the youngster's recent form coming under scrutiny.

Antonio Rudiger missed the Palace game with muscle fatigue, but Conte hinted that he will be available for tonight's match and, if so, he is expected to replace Gary Cahillin the side.

Latest lace short gown styles in Nigeria

Latest lace short gown styles in Nigeria

The latest lace short gown designs are popular among the ladies who are planning to have a pretty outfit for a special occasion. What can decorate a woman better than a lace dress that’s tailored to her unique shape and matches her natural beauty?

What is a lace dress for a woman?

Since old times, lace has been a fabric for very special dresses that look expensive and elegant. Handmade lace has always been valued in gold. Today, when machines are able to produce the finest lace, too, it’s no longer that expensive. Instead, it’s available to practically everybody. This is why a lace dress is no longer a gown for a special occasion only.

Lace dresses can be worn for any events and everyday situations. If you have a lace dress, you can equally rock it at a wedding party and on a date with your sweetheart. Lace dresses are a perfect choice for a walk on a hot day and for a business meeting. Nigerian women know well how to look utterly elegant and pretty in lace. Actually, they are known for the best short lace gown styles in the world.

If you are considering having a short lace dress right now and are still in two minds, let us give you a piece of advice. Get yourself a short lace dress immediately! If you have it in your wardrobe, you can be sure you will shine in it anytime you decide to wear it.

Ways to rock Nigerian lace short gown styles

Now, you need to understand what a short lace dress is and how to make it be the item that suits you perfectly. A lot in your appearance will depend on the chosen style and color, so give the following details a lot of attention.

When we speak of short lace dresses, we mean neither extreme miniskirts nor wholly lace gowns. You have a wide choice of options to choose from and you can always have something that will match your general style, personal preferences, and so on.

Extreme mini. Very short dresses look very extravagant and attract a lot of attention. You should choose this style only in case you don’t mind all those glances directed at you. Very short skirts are usually chosen to expose legs and make them look longer. It means that you will need to think about heeled shoes

If you have never worn such a dress before, maybe, you will feel more comfortable in a slightly longer gown. Besides that, if the bottom of your dress is wide, you need to take care of an additional underskirt that will keep the shape of the top layer and secure you in case a blast of wind decides to play with your skirt. In such dress, it’s better to use lace as a decorative element.

Knee-length latest lace short gown styles. These styles are among the most popular. They are comfortable and are equally flirty and modest. The length allows adding a deep cut in the rear part of the top and, in general, the dress looks more elegant than daring short designs

Such dresses can be wholly made out of lace. The main point here is to create a suitable lining that will not spoil the beauty but reduce the transparency. If the lace is very transparent, it makes sense to choose the lining of a contrasting color. Yet, bodycon dresses made of lace look better if the lining matches the color of the lace exactly.

Colors of the latest Nigerian lace gown styles

If you are in the process of choosing a short lace dress, you need to remember that the color you will choose is going to matter a lot. Depending on the occasion and your personal intentions, the color of your dress can either help you or add troubles.

Bright colors are always attractive. Miniskirts are always attractive. Tight bodycon dresses are extremely attractive. You need to decide, which of these features you will or will not combine. For example, if you are into getting yourself a very short dress, maybe it’s better to choose a pastel color or black to avoid extra flamboyance.

Knee-length dresses are pretty in any possible color and color combinations. This length is modest enough to experiment with colors. This is why if you are choosing a lace dress for a special occasion where you need to grab all the attention, choose the shining yellow, royal blue, fire red, or grass green.

As well, you can balance the look with the help of sleeves. A lace dress with no sleeves looks more relaxed and flirty, long sleeves give a touch of modesty and some formality, and elbow-long ones look good everywhere and on every occasion!

Well, now, when you know practically everything about the lace styles latest and modern, you can easily choose an item that will look charming on you. Even though lace doesn’t actually need any additional decorations, don’t forget about lovely accessories like belts, fashionable necklaces, and lovely purses.

You’re Seeking Re-Election While Nothing Is Working – APC Senator Slams Buhari’s Presidency

As the 2019 general election is approaching, an All Progressive Congress (APC) senator has berated the presidency for not being proactive towards burning national issues.

While speaking during a committee meeting at the National Assembly, the outspoken senator representing Bauchi Central, Isah Misau, lambasted President Buhari for reportedly seeking re-election in 2019.

The lawmaker berated the nation’s leader for not being proactive towards burning national issues, and lamented that it took constant reminder by the Nigerian media and criticisms of the APC government before Presdient Buhari decided to visit states where killings have been recorded.

He said: “It is painful. We don’t have hospitals, we don’t have schools; nothing is working in the country and all of us are saying 2019.

“What is 2019? Are we sure we are going to reach 2019? It’s so bad. Things are happening. Leaders, you have to beg them before they go and see what is happening in places.

“Media have to make a lot of noise before leaders go there. What kind of a country is this? Today as a Senator, you get frustrated, talk less of somebody that have no job.”
