8. "You know I give you life. If you try this s--t again you're gonna lose your wife."

9. "I tried to change, closed my mouth more, tried to be softer, prettier, less awake. Fasted for 60 days, wore white, abstained from mirrors, abstained from sex, slowly did not speak another word… I grew thickened skin on my feet I bathed in bleach and plugged my menses with pages from the holy book, but still inside me, coiled deep, was the need to know…are you cheating on me?"


10. "My grandma said nothing real can be threatened. True love brought salvation back into me. With every tear came redemption. And my torture became my remedy."

At the end of Lemonade, Beyoncé sings about forgiveness and the importance of family.

I’m Not Afraid Of Death, declares ex-President IBB

Former military President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida is unbothered by rumour of his sickness and death. He told reporters at his Hilltop Mansion in Minna, the Niger State capital that:

“The rumour does not shock me; neither does it bother me because I know I must go and meet God, my creator. There is nothing really to worry about, my religion has told me.

“As a Muslim, I strongly believe everybody will die, everybody will die and everybody has to die. It could be now or in hundred years’ time or two days to come but it doesn’t matter. Everybody must die.”

74yrs old Gen. Babangida said nobody is above illness or death because it has been destined by God.

There were rumours last week that the General was critically ill or might have passed on. But in his time with some reporters on Sunday, he looked very okay.

On the state of the nation, Babangida, who led the country between 1985 and 1993, expressed optimism that Nigeria will surmount its challenges, adding that the future of the country is bright and that it has a lot for the younger generation.

“I still believe very strongly in this country, which is further demonstrated by the people of this great nation because they are a very industrious people, hardworking. That gives me the hope for Nigeria.”

PH and Warri Refineries Now Producing Petrol – Kachikwu

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, has announced that the Port Harcourt Refining Company and the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company are now producing a combined volume of seven million litres of petrol daily.

The PHRC now produces 5 million litres of petrol, while WRPC produces 2 million litres daily.

Kachikwu, in a statement on Sunday, said this while reopening the Bonny-Port Harcourt crude pipeline.

The minister said in the statement that the government was doing all it could to clear the queues, as he noted that the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company was also scheduled to start production any moment from now.

Kachikwu said the coming on stream of the three refineries would go a long way in ensuring sufficient supply and distribution of petrol across the country.

“Port Harcourt is back in production; Warri is back in production; Kaduna, as of today, is receiving crude and will soon be back in production. Lagos is easing off now from fuel scarcity and Abuja is doing the same thing; and once Kaduna begins production, the North will see a lot of improvement.”

Saraki Might Win CCT Case Against Him - Report

This is an independent report written by a Lagos lawyer. Read below...

At the ongoing cross-examination of the star witness in the trial of Senator Bukola Saraki, Mr. Michael Wetkas, an operative of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has admitted, based on questions from Saraki’s counsel, that the EFCC did not investigate the accuracy of some of the exhibits presented as proof in the trial of the Senate President.

Saraki’s defense team, led by a former Attorney-General of the Federal, Mr. Kanu Agabi, have poked several holes in the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) case against the Senate President in their thorough scrutiny of Mr. Wetkas’ testimony.

For example, Mr. Wetkas has acknowledged that neither he nor his team investigated Exhibits 11, 12 and 13 of the charges leveled against the Senate President. An online news portal, The Nation, owned by Mr Tinubu, the Southwest leader of APC that Saraki fingered as being behind his ordeal, reported that Mr. Wetkas said the petitions pertaining to the three exhibits were not investigated by him. 

Exhibit 11, which was dated May 22nd, 2012, contained a petition written by the Kwara Freedom Network inviting the EFCC to investigate the Kwara State Universal Basic Education Board. 

The witness, while giving evidence in chief, told the tribunal that the petition by the Kwara Freedom Network triggered the investigation.

“Exhibit 12 was dated on May 7, 2011 but was addressed to the Chairman of the EFCC asking the anti-graft agency to investigate the Kwara State Government on borrowings for projects described as phoney. Exhibit 13 was a petition dated June 7, 2012, which dwelt on the mismanagement of local government revenue in Kwara State between 2003 and 2011.”

It was also observed that the EFCC did not interrogate the Accountant General of Kwara State to clarify the allegations levelled against Senator Saraki. The EFFC witness said that interrogating the Accountant General was not part of his investigation, despite the fact that a careful investigation into the petition required such an enquiry. 

The EFCC’s witness also stated that his team did not also get any verifiable document to back the petition written against Senator Saraki. 

Also under cross-examination, the witness admitted that investigating the assets declared by the defendant did not form part of his schedule of duty. He also admitted that Exhibits 3, 4 and 5, being the asset declaration forms of the defendant, were duly examined and stamped by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and not the EFCC, his employer. He added that there was nowhere in the petition he investigated where Saraki’s assets declaration was in contention, bringing into question why the the Senate President has been dragged before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, a body that is solely meant to hold public servants accountable on their asset declarations.

As more and more holes are drilled into EFFC’s star witness’ account, if the law is followed, a mistrial might be declared, leaving the Senate President vindicated of the 13-count charge that he has been on trial for.
