In 2008, on a day that started out like any other, Cecila Obaikhena, who is now 72, left home for a routine trip to the market in Iruekpen, Edo State, where she resided. That was the last time her family saw her.

Efforts they made to get the police in the state to find her failed, so also were media announcements they made.

Two days after the news broke that some kidnapped persons had been rescued in a forest in Ibadan, Victor Obaikhena with his daughter, Vivian, hurried to the scene from their Lagos home with high hopes of finding their matriarch among the rescued people.

Jonathan’s government shameless – Tinubu

National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu on Saturday described President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration as shameless.

He added that rather than account for the alleged missing $20bn oil revenue, it kept giving untenable excuses.

Tinubu said, 

“They are so shameless that the number of years they have ruled does not matter to them. Don’t change the subject matter. Account for the missing money or go. All the explanations they gave about the missing money are just explanations. They steal from pensioners. We must kick them out.”

Anyim’s 22-minute sleep

Click banner for more info

The amount of responsibility bestowed on the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Sen. Pius Anyim, in organising the conference is indeed enormous.  It was his office that compiled the list of delegates, got the venue, prepared the bags and its contents, supervised accreditation and arranged other logistics for the smooth take-off of the conference.

It was probably the enormity of his responsibility that made Anyim doze off on the day President Goodluck Jonathan inaugurated the conference committee.

Anyim, who welcomed delegates to the conference, slept throughout the 22 minutes that President Jonathan spoke. But intermittently, Anyim shook his head as delegates clapped in response to points raised by the President in his speech.

I can’t waste my time on El-Rufai, he’s too small - Pastor Oritsejafor

 In an interview with Punch today, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor responded for the first time on Mallam Nasir Elrufai's claims that the private jet he got some months back was from the presidency and not from his church members.

Your children in the ministry bought aircraft for you recently, but Mallam Nasir el-Rufai claimed it was a gift from the President. How do you feel about this?

I am glad that there are people who challenged him. I would only be dignifying him if a person at my level starts exchanging words with a small person like el-Rufai. He is too small. I will not dignify him with a response. People responded. They told him that since he knew who gave the gift, he should provide the proof, which he hasn’t done till today. Obviously, he didn’t have any proof. That is the problem with Nigeria. We continue to celebrate people like el-Rufai. He is too small for me.
