APC says N' Assembly invasion, a coup

All
Progressives Congress (APC) has
said the police invasion of the
National Assembly last week is
the equivalent of a coup and called
for an independent inquiry to
determine who ordered the
invasion and for what purpose,
with a view to preventing a
recurrence and also meting out
the necessary punishment to
those behind it. In a statement issued in Lagos on
Tuesday by its National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
the party said using weapons to
attack an arm of government and
preventing it from carrying out its
functions are tantamount to a
coup, adding that the tear gas that
was fired into the National
Assembly by an invading force of
policemen is a chemical weapon.
''We are demanding the
independent inquiry In view of the
seriousness of the armed attack
on the National Assembly and the
danger it poses to our democracy.
We are also alerting the
international community to the
happenings in Nigeria and urging
them to show interest because of
their investment in the country's
democracy,'' it said.

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions. Ebiripo is a typical Ijebu cocoyam meal that can be cooked in various ways and spiced up to make a balanced diet. Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”. They submitted in their findings that Ebiripo fortified with 40% soya flour was significantly 28% higher in protein and 8.4% higher in fat than the other Ebiripo samples. Ingredients needed for a Nutritious Ebiripo Cocoyam Soya beans Ground fresh P...

Fani kayode in support of corruption.

Fani – Kayode’s statement =“I have just spoken to Colonel Kayode Are, the former D-G of SSS during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration and the former Acting National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan and I am deeply concerned. He told me that his house is under siege and that gunshots are being fired at him and his family as we were speaking. “I am not sure what the issue is about but a situation where security men go to the home of a respected patriot like that and start shooting at him and his family for whatever reason is unacceptable and extremely dangerous. When you consider what is happening in Are’s home and marry with the shameful manner in which Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Governor Attahiru Bafawara, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, Nnamdi Kanu, Godswill Orubebe, Bukola Saraki, Sule Lamido and others are being persecuted, threatened and demonised by the Federal Government it is clear that we are now in a police s...

DSP Alamieyesiegha .

Alamieyeseigha was arrested at Heathrow Airport in September 2005 by the London Metropolitan Police on charges of money laundering in September 2005. About £1m cash was allegedly found in his London home. Another £1.8m ($3.2m) was found in his bank accounts. Rather than wait and clear his name at the trial, Alamieyeseigha escaped from London in December 2005 in a very dramatic manner. Some report had it that he disguised himself as a woman in his desperate bid to return to Nigeria. But back home, while serving him an unexpected notice of impeachment, the Bayelsa State House of Assembly accused him of offences including: *Maintaining foreign bank accounts while in office in the following banks: Barclays Bank Plc, London; National Westminster Bank, London; Royal Bank of Scotland; and Commerz Bank, London. *Corrupt enrichment of his relatives and cronies. *Criminal diversion and misappropriation of public funds to facilitate acquisition of shares in Bond Bank PLc by private p...
