The ghetto is getting hot and Sibi is not resting as he put more fire as he chase his enemies.
The journey begins? Diabolic powers has been born from a little misunderstanding from the street boys.
GOVERNORS elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, have rebuffed moves by two of their colleagues and presidency power brokers to co-opt former President Goodluck Jonathan into the 2023 presidential race with a view to ceding the party’s ticket to him.
The governors, who had before the last national convention of the party in March traded off the national chairmanship position for the presidency had met at least twice in the last 10 days but could not agree on who among them to put forward for consideration by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Four governors – Yahaya Bello (Kogi), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) Dave Umahi (Ebonyi) and Ben Ayade (Cross River) are in the race alongside more than 20 other party chieftains to succeed Buhari.
However, most of the governors are said to be displeased with reported attempts to drag Jonathan into the race.
The move to draft Jonathan and the attendant misgivings, Vanguard gathered are partly responsible for the inability of the APC to raise its presidential screening committee, screen the aspirants and hold the presidential primaries. So far, the primaries have been postponed four times.
It was also part of the reasons the party pressured, and finally with the support of some political parties, got the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to extend by six days the June 3, 2022 deadline for parties to conclude their primaries.
With the extension of the deadline to June 9, the APC promptly moved its presidential primary from May 29 and 30 to June 6 and 7.
APC govs unyielding
“Of course, you know that the four governors who are in the race are unyielding to any consideration regarding Jonathan’s ambition. Apart from it being a serious campaign dilemma for the party, that is, having to wash up all the dirt it threw on Jonathan in 2015, it is also an indictment on the quality of contestants in the APC.
“The governors had made that position known to the president before and I believe it will still form part of the talking points whenever they meet him again before the presidential primary.
“To them, if the president cannot support any of the governors to emerge as standard bearer of the party, then he should just stay aloof and allow the process play out naturally without endorsing anybody outside the fold. This is not to say that you don’t have those who are canvassing for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. So, as it is, the governors are divided by their various interests. All they can ask for now is just a level playing field,” said a chieftain of the party who is an ally of one of the governors.
How initial plot failed
Inside sources in the APC have given an insight into how the plot to co-opt former President Jonathan into the 2023 election race hit the brick wall following the dissolution of the Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, in March.
The plot said to have been hatched in 2020 by party strategists close to the defunct CECPC had not only advanced the now-popular reason of Jonathan serving a one term and power returning to the North, but that Buni would deputize for the Otuoke-born politician.
Sources said the move which did not have the backing of most of the governors was sponsored by two governors – a first term governor from the North-East and a second term governor from the North-West.
“The plot was hatched by a Kogi politician, who was close to the CECPC leadership. It was essentially to get Governor Buni to deputize for Jonathan who would serve for one term and then power would return to the North.
“It was principally because of that plot that its arrowheads were doing everything to frustrate the last national convention and pave the way for the Buni CECPC to remain in charge to conduct the convention alongside the ongoing primaries. That way, it would have been easier to get the delegates to vote for Jonathan. But unfortunately, Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, came in the way of that plot. He was insistent on the right thing being done. He was the first to announce that the last convention would hold and that the party had even agreed on zoning. It was like a subtle ambush but it worked.
“The plot did not however die as its promoters kept trying to recruit more supporters. With what is going on now, they appear to have secured the support of more power brokers around the president. Jonathan is essentially a candidate of a section of the North”, said a party source.
Indeed, a Federal High Court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, on Friday, held that Jonathan is eligible to contest the 2023 presidential election, and that he had been elected as president as once in 2011.
The Constitution provides for a maximum period of two terms for a president. Jonathan as vice president completed the tenure of late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua when the latter died in 2010. He contested the 2011 election and won but lost his re-election quest in 2015 to President Buhari.
Recall that Andy Solomon and Idibiye Abraham (plaintiffs) asked the court to prevent Jonathan from running for the office of president by invoking Section 137, subsection 1b and 3.
We must conclude high-power game this week —Party leader
A leader of the party, who attributed the delay in screening the aspirants and conducting the presidential primaries to “Mr Consensus (President Buhari)” said, the plot to draft in Jonathan “is a high-powered game. Buhari is keeping everything to his chest. A lot will happen during the week.”
The party leader also agreed that the PDP’s successful conclusion of its presidential primary has put pressure on the APC, and lamented that the party’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, was not pulling his weight.
“Abdullahi Adamu is a mere stooge. Buhari is the one with the remote control. The week will determine many things. It’s going to be an interesting week. Whatever happens between Tuesday and Friday will shape everything,” he said.
He’s not allienating any one—Jonathan camp
An aide to Goodluck Jonathan said: “There is no great movement without opposition. We sympathise with the genuine feelings of those opposing the former president.
“However, GEJ is not about allienating any one, or suppressing legitimate concerns. Those opposed to him should note that no great leap has happened to mankind without genuine descent. I believe GEJ has the depth of heart to assuage such patriotic fears in event. Right now it should be about the country Nigeria and how to move it forward.”
APC NWC to discuss Atiku’s emergence, others today
The Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee, NWC, of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC will today discuss plans for its presidential primaries and the emergence of Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the PDP, and map out fresh strategies.
While Atiku’s emergence had been largely envisaged by strategists within the ruling party, Vanguard gathered that the issue would be raised at the NWC meeting in order to discuss its implications for the APC.
Shift in primary aimed at modified consensus—Source
A source, familiar with the workings of the APC, told Vanguard that the shift in date of the primary was aimed at arriving at a modified consensus.
The source disclosed that though there are talks with Jonathan, and some APC leaders are narrowing it down to the Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan and former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu.
”They are trying to negotiate with Jonathan to emerge as the party’s flagbearer. I know they are negotiating and talking with him but some APC stakeholders are divided over Ahmad Lawan (Senate President).
Lawan also has people who are backing his aspiration particularly now that Atiku Abubakar has emerged as PDP candidate. Some of Lawan’s backers are talking about the APC zoning the presidency to the North and that is the advantage Lawan has.
Lawan is a serious contender and part of the shift in the primary is to come up with a modified consensus. The APC is working on a modified consensus but that will not be easy because of Bola Tinubu.
“With the emergence of the PDP candidate, some APC leaders believe that Tinubu is the best aspirant to face Atiku Abubakar. The whole scenario is still not clear but I know that in a couple of days, there will be a direction.”
Why cabal want Jonathan back as President— Olu Falae
Former Secretary to the Federal Government, SGF, and a chieftain of the pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, Chief Olu Falae, yesterday, said cabal in the Presidency want to draft former President Jonathan into the 2023 election because plots to quickly return power to the North.
His words: “The man you threw away from government, Goodluck Jonathan was ‘a problem man, an incompetent man, he was an idiot, an slowpoke.’ There was no name they didn’t call him. Now you are going back to ask him to come back to rule. There is only one reason for that. The only reason they are asking Goodluck Jonathan to come back is because he has spent one term as president.
“They don’t want the presidency to be in the South for more than four years. They want it quickly back in the North. So they want to use Goodluck to achieve that objective against his own people.
“They don’t care what he does if he goes back. If he is more ‘incompetent’ this time, it does not bother them as long as they get power quickly back. Are we on the same plane? Do we have the same objective? They will sacrifice anything as long as they get what they want. So this is where we are, and that’s why we need a political party not what I call an opportunistic gang up for power. That’s what PDP is; that’s what APC is – opportunistic gang up for power, not parties.”
The Afenifere leader likened the APC “to the army which after forcefully assuming power seizes the control of apparatus of power at the national and state levels including the nation’s treasury and the state governments among others.
“Look at the run off to the party primaries. It’s like war at all levels. That is because the objective of the aspirants is personal, financial. It’s not how to get Nigeria out of the crisis and unemployment into prosperity. That’s not why they are fighting. They are fighting because they want to be the ones to grab the national treasury.”
We’re not disturbed by postponement—Ajulo, convener PLO
Meanwhile, Convener of the Progressive Lawyers for Osinbajo, PLO, Dr Kayode Ajulo, has said he was not disturbed with the postponement of the primary but expressed optimism that it will work in favour of Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Ajulo said: “Consensus here is giving the VP right of first refusal. He deserves it. It’s a convention of party politics. Here is a man who has been faithful and dedicated to his job. I must say his emergence goes beyond APC but other parties, they’re comfortable with him and if APC sincerely want to win this election and ready to move Nigeria forward they need to settle for Prof Osinbajo.
“The question about whether there will be primary or consensus should be left to the leadership of the party. Our assurance lies in the aspirants we’re rooting for, he comes with experience, his dedication to duty is second to none. He’s primed for the job.
“We are not affected with the postponement so long it’s for the good of the party and to allow popular participation. Yes, it’s costly as most of the VP support groups have relocated to Abuja paying hotels bills and doing everything permissible for their choice but we believe no price is too big to give Nigeria the best among the aspirants.
We’ve done our ground work—Fayemi’s ally
Also speaking, an ally of Governor Kayode Fayemi said the presidential hopeful is prepared for the contest just as he expressed optimism that Fayemi will get the APC ticket.
The ally, who spoke in confidence, said: “Once you are prepared for an exam and the school authorities call for a postponement for the examination, you will still continue with your preparations.
“We are fully prepared; we have gone round over 25 states of the federation meeting with leaders and stakeholders.
“We have done our ground work properly and we are optimistic. We have absolute confidence in the system that there will be a level playing field.”
Southern candidate no longer feasible in APC —Kalu
Chief Whip of the Senate, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, said that the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the PDP candidate has made it unrealistic for the APC to look in the direction of the South for its presidential candidate.
In a statement, yesterday, Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, urged President Buhari and the APC to expressly zone its presidential ticket to North-East and subsequently elect the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, as the candidate of the party.
The Senator, who congratulated the PDP for electing a north easterner in the person of Atiku as its presidential candidate, said that APC will go into political retirement if it refused to heed his advice on the issue.
He wrote: “Congratulations to the PDP for electing a North-Easterner. Nigerians must have seen what I saw yesterday. For our party, the APC, it is no longer feasible to talk about a Southern candidate except the APC wants to go on political retirement.
“I urge the National Chairman of the party and the entire NWC to stamp their feet and zone the APC presidential ticket to the North East.
“President Buhari has a right to choose his successor and I call on him to pick Senator Ahmad Lawan as his successor. In every democratic setting, presidents and governors support and pick their successors.”
Changes in date suspicious —Tinubu group
The Director-General, Network for Bola Tinubu in Ondo State, Mr Tolu Babaleye alleged that the change in the convention date by the APC was suspicious.
Babaleye said: “Something is fishy about the continued changes in the date for the Convention. We are surprised at what is happening because nothing is certain again in the APC.”
“The reason they gave for this last change was that since INEC has extended the window by six days, they feel that they should still reassess themselves and organize a proper convention. That is why I want to give them the benefit of doubt.
“But if we want to think like politicians, we will be saying that something is fishy because we are reading and hearing so many rumours, though unsubstantiated.
“You know out of every rumour, there is an element of truth there. We are just waiting for the party.”
The emergence of the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has placed the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the crossroads, making the leaders of the ruling party cautious of their next steps.
The APC leaders are weighing two options on who to put forward for the contest, Daily Trust can report.
This is just as impeccable sources at the leading opposition party said shopping for a running mate for Atiku has commenced. Top shot of the camp of Atiku said they are considering paring a serving governor from the South-South geopolitical zone with him.
After months of hide-and-seek by the two political parties on zoning their presidential tickets, the PDP on Saturday conducted its presidential primary and picked a northerner from Adamawa State.
Twice the ruling party had postponed its presidential primary. The party was blamed for the postponement of the June 3 deadline for the conduct of the parties’ primaries for the 2023 general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Friday.
APC at crossroads, weighs 2 options
Seven days to the new date fixed for the APC presidential primary, Daily Trust reports that activities for the exercise have not commenced.
Party leaders, aspirants, and other stakeholders of the party are at crossroads over choices to make. The screening of the 23 presidential aspirants of the party slated for last Monday was postponed indefinitely.
Daily Trust reports that the National Working Committee (NWC) under the leadership of a former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has neither fixed a new date nor constituted a committee to carry out the exercise.
Out of the 23 aspirants, stakeholders in the party are looking in the direction of National Leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Senate President Ahmad Lawan and former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi.
Sources in the ruling party told Daily Trust that two options are being weighed.
“It is either we dare the South and pick our candidate in the North or we throw open the race and risk its outcome,” a source in the party said.
Daily Trust had on May 17 exclusively reported the heightening of the push for the retention of the party’s presidential ticket in the North. The emergence of Atiku has amplified it. But a section of the power brokers in Abuja is said to be still rooting for former President Goodluck Jonathan as a possible flag bearer of the party.
The northerners in the race for the ticket are; Lawan; Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello; Jigawa State Governor, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar and former Zamfara State Governor, Sen. Ahmed Yarima. A former governor said the emergence of the former vice president has completely changed the dynamics.
He said; “Apart from some charlatans in the Villa dropping Buhari’s name and claiming that he has endorsed Amaechi, the emergence of Atiku has completely changed the dynamics.
“Apart from Tinubu, is there anyone who can match Atiku toe-to-toe across the nation and repeat the MKO success story when he defeated the late Bashir Othman Tofa in Kano?”
“Surely, Atiku is banking on northern votes. Kwankwaso will cut off some from North West. So a good running mate from North will square him off. And of course, attacking his home base of northeast is the deal.”
But a former Governor of Abia State, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, yesterday said the emergence of Atiku has shut the doors on the southern contestants in the APC.
Kalu, the Chief Whip of the Senate and one of the promoters of Lawan, urged President Buhari to pick his successor.
“For our party the APC, it is no longer feasible to talk about southern candidates except the APC wants to go on political retirement.
The Abia senator also urged the party’s leadership to zone APC presidential ticket to the North East.
“I call on President Buhari to pick a successor from the North East and that will be the equity the South East needs. With the North East, the cycle will be closest to completion of regions producing the president of Nigeria,” he said in a statement.
But the Talban Bauchi, Tahir Ibrahim Tahir, in an article tagged, “APC’s bitter but puissant pill,” said Tinubu is the only aspirant that can match Atiku.
“APC must honour its unwritten agreement of power shift, in the spirit of federal character and rotation. Tinubu as a southerner is the only politician that has exhibited the northern brand of inclusiveness in politics,” he said.
S/West APC chieftains warn against Jonathan’s candidature
A coalition of chieftains of the APC in the South West has urged President Buhari not to breach the trust and agreement he reached with the leaders of the party in the region before his election in 2015.
The group in a statement issued yesterday by its National Convener, Mr Fatai Bola Adekunle, said Buhari was morally bound to support and ensure that a party member from the South West region succeeds him in the office next year.
Adekunle maintained that anything short of the aforementioned demand would amount to betrayal from President Buhari and his supporters to the people of the South West who he said helped him (Buhari) greatly to get into office in 2015.
“We are appealing to President Muhammadu Buhari to reciprocate the gesture of the people of the South West to him in 2015 by making sure that one of our sons emerges to succeed him in 2023 as a token of appreciation for the gesture of our people towards him.
“All of us were living witnesses to the roles played by our sons and daughters to ensure the emergence of Buhari as the president of the country. It is no gainsaying the fact that without that alliance between the South West and the North, the Buhari presidency that we have today would not have been possible”, they said.
They further cautioned the party leaders against the rumoured moves to foist former President Goodluck Jonathan as a presidential candidate.
Contacted, an aide of the president said Buhari was not part of a plot to draft Jonathan into APC presidential race.
He said on Sunday that instructions had been given that there shall be no public release of photos of any meetings between the former president and the incumbent at this time.
The president, it was gathered, did not want such images to be used to confer any modicum of support to the plot to get Jonathan into the race.
Daily Trust learnt that the Presidency was worried that the aides of the former president were involved in keeping the “Plot alive in the media by releasing photos of his visits to the APC Chairman and Alhaji Mamman Daura, to insinuate that these two gentlemen are in support of the plot”.
Ex-VP’s camp considers Okowa, Udom, elders make case for Wike
Reliable sources at the PDP told this paper that the shopping for a running mate for Atiku has commenced.
At the 2019 general election, Atiku, who was the candidate of the party picked a former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi as his running mate. They were defeated by President Buhari.
A source close to Atiku said before the primary, they had resolved to pick the running mate from the South-South geopolitical zone.
He said at their inner circle, the Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, was being considered for the plum seat given his contribution to the emergence of Atiku.
“Except for last-minute change, we are looking at Governor Okowa for the position. He has consistently supported our camp despite all backlashes. He mobilised resources for us and ensured that all the delegates of his voted for us,” the source, one of the leaders of the campaign team said.
But another source in the party, who confirmed that they have resolved that the running mate be picked from the South-South, said the issue of Okowa has not been sealed.
“There is a division on it, some are saying him but others especially elders of the party, said Wike should be considered because of his performance at the primary,” the party leader said.
He also said that Governor Udom Emmanuel Akwa Ibom, who came fourth with 38 votes at the primary, has begun moves to be considered for the seat.
According to him, the main factor that led to the defection of Peter Obi was the decision of the Atiku’s camp to look elsewhere for the running mate.
Meanwhile, a former Senate President, Anyim Pius Anyim, one of the presidential aspirants of the PDP, has expressed shock that the consideration by delegates during voting was based on the old primordial sentiments rather than on burning national issues and how to resolve them.
Anyim, who said this while reacting to the outcome of the PDP presidential primaries, however, congratulated former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for emerging the flag bearer of the party.
He said he was proud to have gone through the presidential race to the end, assuring that he would continue to stand tall “Until we birth the Nigeria of our collective dreams.”
1. Don’t be late or too early Arriving late for the interview is a rude gesture that always makes a bad impression, but so is arriving too early. In both cases you can cause the feeling that you do not calculate the time well, in the first case, it is also perceived as disrespectful, and in the second, it can seem that you are living in a desperate situation. 2. Do not have the mobile on Turn off your mobile minutes before entering the room where you are going to be interviewed. Do not leave it for the last moment or you will run the risk of forgetting it. If your cell phone rings during the interview, it will interrupt your interviewer’s work and create an awkward situation that will not benefit you at all. 3. Don’t get bogged down in an argument Freely express your opinions but never start or maintain an argument. It is not about giving the reason without complaining to those who do not have it, but try not to see yourself involved in an argument. It will be an embarrassing situation that will position you as a conflictive person. 4. Do not gesticulate exaggeratedly Your gestures and your postures are more important than you think. They say a lot about you and reveal what you feel. For example, don’t sit on the edge of the chair or wave your hands insistently. Try to look your interviewer or interviewers in the eye, but not in a threatening way. Smile and behave naturally. 5. Do not take the initiative: let the interviewer direct the interview Remember that you are the interviewee and not the interviewer. You are there to answer questions, not to ask them. Do not compete with the interviewer, he must always take the initiative. Do not interrupt him and always answer his questions. Without detours or ambiguities. 6. Don’t answer questions aggressively Never get defensive. Respond calmly and use a calm and collected tone. During the interview do not behave aggressively or act violently. If you get nervous, take a deep breath and stay calm. 7. Don’t show up looking bad Choose well the clothes you are going to wear that day. Clean yourself and take care of all the details of your personal hygiene. Your appearance is very important to make a good impression. The image counts a lot and provides a large amount of information about your tastes, your preferences and your way of thinking. A careless image will harm you. 8. Don’t chew gum Chewing gum during a conversation is rude. It will appear that you are not serious about the interview and most people find it very uncomfortable. Do not hesitate, your interviewer will find it highly inappropriate. 9. Don’t lie The proverb is wise. “A liar is caught before a lame man.” If you lie on your CV or if you answer false questions, sooner or later you will be found out and the cure will be worse than the disease. No company wants to hire liars or cheaters. 10. Don’t stop being yourself Everyone is nervous about a job interview, it is clear that it is not an easy time. Most people try to memorize learned answers and some interviewees try to play a role to make a good impression. Don’t fall into that mistake, don’t act n pretend to be who you are not. If you keep these tips in mind, you will behave during the job interview with more confidence and poise. Read them carefully and if you have any questions, we can advise you to find the job that best suits your profile. An interview is a decisive moment to demonstrate to the interviewer that you are the most suitable person to fill the position offered.

Ok o. The rules are endless and rather than serve as guidance to newbies, may threaten and intimidate the little confidence they have left. Maybe I should highlight 5 things to do before an interview. 1. Dress well . Except otherwise stated, a CLEAN black jacket on a white/blue shirt with a clean neck tie/scarf. 2. Practice. Prepare. Rehearse. Not in your mind. Rehearse with your mouth. There's a huge difference between those who have rehearsed and those who didn't, no matter how good they think they are. 3. Use real stories to demonstrate your experience and strengths. As you rehearse these stories, you'll learn to trim them and saying them again would make them flow. 4. Believe. Believe that your interviewer(s) want to hire you. This helps your trust and confidence. No, your enemy is not on that desk, and that person asking you 'difficult' questions truly wants you to justify the high grades he wants to give you. That's the person you should smile to. Recruiters go through a lot trying to select the appropriate CVs. They want you to justify that decision that they have made. It is painful to know that valuable time and resources have been wasted to invite a clown to the table. 
5. Research the company and the role. Don't try to go and 'cram' everything on their website. Just take one thing that you personally find interesting in their information and know as much as you can on that ONE thing. Research also means knowing the address of the interview and how to get there on time on your interview date. It is ok to visit the venue before your interview date to familiarize yourself with the address and route, and may chip this into your Convo if the opportunity presents itself. |

Comedian, Chukwuemeka Emmanuel, popularly known as Sabinus, has slammed a one billion naira suit on Friesland Foods Wamco Nigeria Plc for unauthorised use of his trademark ‘something hooge’.
In an Instagram post on May 24, Peak Milk had used the phrase ‘something hooge’ to advertise their product.
Addressing the company through his lawyer, Stanley Alieke, Sabinus noted that the phrase was his registered trademark and therefore, demanded N1 billion in compensation and damages.
In the legal notice cited by The PUNCH on Monday, Sabinus threatened a lawsuit if the brand failed to comply within two weeks from the receipt of the legal notice.
“Our client briefed us and we believe the same to be true that your Company, Friesland Foods Wamco Nigeria Plc, used a trademarked slogan ‘Something Hooge’ for the promotion of your Peak Milk product,” the legal notice dated May 27 read.
It continued, “The advert which was made on the Peak Milk Nigeria verified Instagram page (peak_milk) was posted on the 24th day of May 2022 which was used to promote the Peak National Breakfast Week.
“It will interest you to know that the phrase ‘something hooge’, which was popularised by our client, has been trademarked and legally reserved as his intellectual property by the Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment.
“The said slogan was trademarked on the 26th of November 2021 with the file number: NG/TM/O/2021/48316. 10. On this note, we make the demand for the payment of the sum of Five Hundred Million Naira (N500m) as compensation for the unauthorized use of the intellectual property belonging to our client.
“And another five hundred million Naira for damages for the trauma; emotional, physical, psychological, and mental trauma our client has suffered for the Trademark theft and infringement of his intellectual property rights.”
https://punchng.com/trademark-comedian-sabinus-slams-n1bn-suit-on-beverage-firm-over-unauthorised-use/
In a similar development, Sabinus also demanded a sum of N100m from UAC Foods for the use of his animated image in an advert for the Gala sausage roll.
The notice dated 25th of May read, “Your company UAC Food Ltd. has been using the brand picture and other intellectual properties of Sabinus to make adverts for your Gala sausage roll without the consent or authorization of our clients,” another notice read.
“You made a post on your verified Instagram handle (gala sausage roll), on the 23rd of May, 2022 with the picture of our client. The post which was a cartoon of our client was captioned ‘the way I calculate everything in my life’.
“We demand that you pay our client the sum of one hundred million Naira (N100m) for the use of the picture which is the average fee our client charges for his picture to be used for adverts and promotions.”
“I expected the America I had seen on TV. But life on Chicago’s South Side is a struggle. It’s realities of racism, poverty, food insecurity, and gun violence surprised me. I moved to Chicago almost five years ago, five days before my 14th birthday. Before that, we lived in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.
“Then my dad lost his job, and my god mom died. My mom, an assistant to the police commissioner, had quit her job to start her own shop so she could have time with my little sister and me. But thieves were constantly breaking into the shop, making it impossible for her to earn a living. So my parents decided to sell their house and move to the United States.
“We thought coming to America would end our family’s adversity. I imagined an America of TV and movies, with nice tilled roads and fancy suburban houses. It seems silly now, but I really thought America was paradise on earth, an ideal country where everyone who lived there was rich. I never knew systemic racism existed and still exists here. I just figured that everyone would be treated equally.”
Journey to USA:
Ajibola had to board two planes to get to America in company of her family members-one from Lagos, Nigeria, to Dubai, and another from Dubai to Chicago, “We were on the plane for 23 hours. It was exhausting, but I believed I was on my way to starting a new life where I’d live like Angelina Jolie. When we arrived in Chicago, my dad showed me where we’d be staying: an antiquated South Side apartment shared with about three other families. There was no privacy. There was no heat. Our lights and water were going in and out. There was one bathroom that we all had to share, which made me uncomfortable. My younger sister and I had to sleep on the floor.
“Food was also very scarce because my parents had no income. My mom would go around looking for people who needed help cooking their meals. She’d work for free so she could bring home some of that food. That was what my family lived on for the first couple of months.

So I started from London to France and to Spain, then I crossed into Morocco and visited Casablanca. I also passed through Mauritania, St. Louis, Dakar, Mali, Bamako, Burkina Faso, Cote d’Ivoire, Accra, Lome, Benin before getting to Lagos
What’s the motivation behind this trip?
For me, it’s all about giving back. It’s all about using my skills and lifestyle to touch the lives of the underprivileged. I look at it that every one of us has been blessed. Some people may say theirs are not enough but we have all been blessed. So those things you’ve been given, how can you use them to touch the lives of other people?
On this polio project, what was the push?
For me, when I started, I said we were going to use it to support a noble cause. It’s a personal thing for me because I knew someone who had polio. As a boy, when I was growing up, we used to play football and swim. But a friend of mine couldn’t join us. Not because he didn’t want to but because he couldn’t do it as he was limited by the polio disease. I knew what he went through before he finally passed on. So, I promised myself that I must do everything possible to ensure that another person doesn’t go through what my friend went through.

The Attorney-General of the Federation has filed 23-count charges against Peter Nwachukwu, the husband of late gospel artist, Osinachi, who died in April after she was allegedly assaulted by her spouse.
He was charged under sections 104 and 379 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015 and culpable homicide contrary to section 221 of the Penal Code which is punishable with death.
The case with charge number, CR/199/2022, was filed at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, on May 20, 2022, by the Head, Sexual and Gender-Based Violence, Department of Public Prosecutions of the Federation, Ministry of Justice, Mrs Yewande Gbola-Awopetun.
The prosecutor accused the defendant of forcefully ejecting the deceased from the family home, contrary to the VAP Act, adding that he also attempted culpable homicide by pushing Osinachi out of a moving vehicle.
The Federal Government further alleged that the defendant deprived the deceased of her personal liberty by restraining her movement and locking her up in the house.
Nwachukwu was equally accused of emotional, verbal and psychological abuse contrary to section 14(1) of the VAP Act, 2015.
The defendant was said to have denied Osinachi access to her money for medication and household necessities and forced her into begging and borrowing.
The charge further alleges that Osinachi’s husband forcefully isolated and separated her from her family by preventing the deceased’s mother and siblings from visiting her matrimonial home.
Nwachukwu was similarly accused of cruelly beating the children and recording their cry and playing it on his phone, noting that he threatened the children and prevented them from reporting the acts of domestic violence against their mother to his pastor, Dr Paul Enenche or any other person.
One of the count reads, “That you Peter Nwachukwu, 56, male, on the 8th of April, 2022 at Aco Estate, opposite police station, Lugbe, Abuja, FCT, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did commit an offence to with: culpable homicide punishable with death in that you caused the death of Mrs Osinachi Nwachukwu by your various acts of violence and aggravated assault with the knowledge that her death would be the probable consequence of your acts.”
Another count reads, “Statement of offence: Emotional, verbal and psychological abuse contrary to section 14(1) of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act, 2015 and punishable under the same section of the Act.
“Particular of offence: That you, Peter Nwachukwu, male, sometime between 14th November 2009 and April 2022 at Aco Estate, opposite police station, Lugbe, Abuja, FCT, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did commit an offence to wit: emotional, verbal and psychological abuse on Mrs Osinachi Nwachukwu (deceased) by humiliating her and making utterances like ‘you are smelling,’ ‘you are mad,’ to her in the presence of her music crew members.”
Channels Television had earlier reported that the popular Nigerian gospel singer who came into the limelight with the hit, “Ekwueme”, which she sang alongside Prospa Ochimana, reportedly died on Friday, April 8 in an Abuja hospital.
It was not immediately clear what the cause of her death was, however, an autopsy was carried out by the FCT Police Command and the result was forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecution for vetting and possible prosecution.
The police also did not give details of the autopsy, but there have been several allegations by family members of the deceased, including her children and other close associates, suggesting that the gospel singer had lived under the torture of her husband during their years of marriage.
This sparked public outcry and national discourse on gender violence, with the police arresting Peter Nwachukwu, the alleged wife beater, with deeper investigations being conducted.
During a meeting between the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Usman Allali Baba and the Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen as well as the family members of Osinachi, the police boss assured that the matter would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted in accordance with the law.
