The Many Lies in John Paden's Book on Buhari - By Reno Omokri

Read his piece below...

The book 'Muhammadu Buhari-The Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria' by Professor John Paden is not only an intellectually lazy work, it is also a fallacious document hastily put together to paint the protagonist in the borrowed garb of an effective leader who is cleaning the Augean Stable of misrule and corruption in Nigeria, but my question is this-how can you fight corruption with lies?

I have taken my time to x-ray the book and I cannot help but agree with the national leader of the ruling All Progressive Congress that Paden has done a great disservice to the truth. If I were Paden, I would consider a career in fiction writing. His talents are much better suited for that than to scholarly and investigative work.

Motorist is stunned to see snake emerge from the hood of his moving car

Tim Mokwa from Florida was making his daily commute home from work when an unlikely passenger popped out from beneath the hood. A 6-foot snake slithered from under the hood and made its way to the windscreen.

"This guy decides to pop his head out from under the hood. And tried to come in the window. About a 6 footer," he wrote on Facebook. "That's only a little more than half of him in video." Mokwa said he doesn't know what ultimately became of the snake.

"I rolled window up just in time. He was resting his head on the side view mirror for like 10 secs before he slithered around the hood. Still don't know if he fell off or went back under hood," Mokwa wrote.

Imagine this happens in Nigeria, night vigils with plenty of binding and casting.

Eminem slams Donald Trump in angry new track, calls him a 'loose cannon'

One of the greatest rappers of all time, Eminem, has slammed U.S Presidential candidate Donald Trump in a new track titled 'campaign speech'. In the track released on Wednesday night, Eminem called Trump 'a loose cannon' in the nearly eight-minute song and also mentions fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin. The 44-year-old wrote on his social media pages:

"Don't worry I'm working on an album! Here's something meanwhile." Eminem said:

“Run the faucet, I’ma dunk / A bunch of Trump supporters underwater / Snuck up on ’em in Ray Bans in a grey van with a spray tan / It’s a wrap, like an Ace bandage.” A few lines later, he adds: ““Consider me a dangerous man / But you should be afraid of this dang candidate / You say Trump don’t kiss ass like a puppet? / ‘Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for the funding? / And that’s what you wanted? / A fuckin’ loose cannon who’s blunt with his hand on the button / Who doesn’t have to answer to no one? / Great idea!”

Patience Jonathan sues anti-corruption NGO, SERAP, over alleged "vilification, breach of human rights"

Former First lady, Patience Jonathan, has filed a law suit against anti-corruption organization, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project SERAP, over allegations of "vilification and breach of human rights".

The group last month petitioned the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, calling for the prosecution of Mrs Jonathan after $15 million was found in four controversial accounts which she laid claim to.

A statement by SERAP's executive director Adetokunbo Mumuni said the organization received Patience Jonathan's court summons on October 18th. “On 18th October 2016 at about 3pm we received court papers dated 6th October 2016 from a bailiff. The papers indicate that one Union of Niger Delta Youth Organization for Equity, Justice and Good Governance suing for themselves and on behalf of Mrs Dame Patience Jonathan filed a suit number FHC/L/CS/1349/2016 before a Federal High Court in Lagos against SERAP.

The plan to re-arrest and detain me once again by the EFCC - Femi Fani-Kayode

Read his piece below..

I have been reliably informed by my sources within the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that they are planning to re-arrest and detain me for as long as possible once again even though I have been granted bail by the Federal High Court in Lagos. Fresh charges were filed against me by the EFCC at the Federal High Court in Abuja on July 7th.

The allegations border on a baseless allegation and false claim that I received twenty six million naira from the NSA's office in 2014. These are politically-motivated charges and there is no truth in or substance to them whatsoever.
