Dear Ladies, Your body is Sacred and Unique!

Two young ladies arrived a Meeting wearing
clothes that were quite revealing their body
parts. Here is what the Chairman told them:He
took a good look at them and made them
sit.Then he said something that, they might
never forget in their life. He looked at them
straight in the eyes and said; "ladies,
everything that God made valuable in this
world is well covered and hardly to see, find
or get.
1. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down
in the ground, covered and protected.
2. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at
the bottom of the ocean, covered up and
protected in a beautiful shell.
3. Where do you find gold? Way down in the
mine, covered over with layers of rock and to
get them, you have to work hard & dig deep
down to get them.
He looked at them with serious eyes and said;
"Your body is sacred & unique" You are far
more precious than gold, diamonds and
pearls, and you should be covered too."So he
added that, if you keep your treasured mineral
just like gold, diamond and pearls, deeply
covered up, a reputable mining organization
with the requisite machinery will fly down and
conduct years of extensive exploration.
First, they will contact your government
(family), sign professional contracts (wedding)
and mine you professionally( legal marriage)
.But if you leave
your precious minerals uncovered on the
surface of the earth, you always attract a lot of
illegal miners to come and mine you
illegally.Everybody will just pick up their crude
instruments and just have a dig on you just
freely like that. Keep your
bodies deeply covered so that it invite
professional miners to chase you.
Let us all encourage our wives, friends and
daughters to dress well and decent!

After recently divorcing his wife of many years, pastor Chris Oyakhilome is reportedly planning on taking a new wife
Popularly known as just ‘pastor Chris’, the stylish and charismatic preacher whose
marriage of many years recently ended over accusations of infidelity and abuse by his former wife Anita Ebhodaghe, is reportedly planning to remarry anytime soon.
According to THISDAY LIVE , even though pastor Chris is yet to make his intention known to his large congregation, the popular man of God is considering taking another shot at marriage.

How to Pray to God
A source revealed that most female members of his church are already aware of his plans and have been doing their best to be noticed and by chance be chosen to fill up the gap his ex-wife left. The source said the ladies who are mostly fair-skinned (like Anita), are hoping to become the next Mrs Oyakhilome.

The source said even though pastor Chris is not interested in any of the ladies struggling for his attention, the whole congregation will be stunned by the time the potential Mrs Oyakhilome is revealed.

Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud according to Spanish media.

BBC Sports cited several Spanish reports that the Argentina footballer and his dad have been given prison terms for their tax crimes.
Messi is likely not to go to prison; in Spanish law, prison sentences of less than two years can be served under probation.
The Ballon d'Or holder has also been ordered to pay a fine of £1.7m, his father has also been fined £1.2 while the sentences can be appealed.
Proceedings began on Tuesday, May 31 but the Barcelona forward arrived to testify in person on Thursday, June 2 just four days before he is due to represent Argentina in the Copa America Centenario in the United States.
The 28-year-old denied knowledge of any fraudulent activities, stating that football was his only focus.
"I never asked my dad about these things, " Messi is quoted as telling the court by AS.
"The truth is that, as I said before, I trusted him and the lawyers. I didn't know anything about it, I just played football."
When questioned about the existence of a company called Jenbril, registered in Uruguay to handle payments relating to his image rights, Messi said: "I didn't know I was a member and manager of this company, I signed it because he [Jorge Messi] said so and I trusted him and the lawyers.
"All I knew was that I was signing a deal with sponsors to do adverts, photo shoots and things like that .
"I remember we went to a notary but I was 18 when I signed it and as you can imagine, I was in a different world. I don't remember anything about it."
Jorge Messi repeatedly told the court his son 'knew nothing about it'.
Messi is the second Barcelona player to be sentenced to prison for tax offences in 2016.
Defender, Javier Mascherano in January, was
sentenced to a combined 12-month prison term for two separate tax offences » .
This was after he admitted to a judge in October 2015 that he failed to declare his earnings from 2011 and 2012 at a hearing.
Another Barcelona player, Neymar is currently in legal battle with authorities in Spain over tax issues.

EFCC withdraws changes against Dieziani and Aluko

Justice Binta Murtala Nyako of a federal high court in Abuja has struck out the names of former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, and a businessman, Chief Kolawole Akanni Aluko, from the criminal charges filed against them
While Madueke is in the United Kingdom, Akanni -Aluko is said to be at large.
Justice Nyako struck out their names after the prosecution counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, made an application to that effect.
Alison-Madueke and Akanni-Aluko were initially charged alongside Babajide John Omokore, Atlantic Energy Brass Development Ltd, Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept Ltd, Victor Briggs, Abiye Membere and David Mbanefo for alleged crude oil fraud.
However, Omokore and others were arraigned but they pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.
Interestingly, the prosecutor Jacobs, did not oppose the applications, but however told the judge to give them conditions that would make them appear in court for trial.
After the arguments on bail, Justice Nyako granted each of them bail in the sum N50 million.
Omokore and others were arraigned before the court on a nine-count charge slammed against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
In her ruling on the bail application of the defendants, Justice Nyako said each of the defendants must produce a surety, who must either be a senior civil servant or must have a landed property.
She said the sureties must depose to an affidavit of means and that the defendants must also deposit their international passport with the court.
Count one on the charge sheet signed by the Deputy Director, Legal and Prosecution Department of the EFCC, Aliyu M. Yusuf reads: “That you, Olajide Jones Omokore, Atlantic Energy Brass Development Ltd, Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Ltd and Kolawole Akanni Aluko (now at large) between May and October, 2013, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, by false pretence and with intent to defraud, induced the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Federal Government of Nigeria to deliver to you 5, 652, 227 barrels of crude oil (Brass blend) valued at the sum of US $ 616, 013, 615.27, through the medium of contact (Strategic Alliance Agreement) which delivery was induced by false pretence to wit: the representation that you have technical competence, professional skilss and funds (both local and foreign) necessary to support NPDC in petroleum operation for the OML 60, 62, 62 and 63 and you thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1 (1b) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other fraud related offences Act CAP A6 2010 Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act.”
Count three: “That you, Olajide Jones Omokore, Atlantic Energy Brass Development Ltd, Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Ltd and Kolawole Akanni Aluko (now at large) between May 2013 and March 2014, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court obtained by false pretence and with intent to defraud 7, 551, 867 barrels of crude oil (Brass blend) valued at the sum of US$ 823, 075, 189.95 from Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Federal Government of Nigeria on the false pretence that ypu had funds (both local and foreign) necessary to support the Nigerian Petroleum Company Ltd in Petroleum operation for the OML 60, 61, 62 and 63 and you thereby committed an offence, contrary to Section 1 (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other fraud related offences Act CAP A6 2010 Laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act.

"Take your corruption war beyond financial Crimes to Judicial misdemeanour", Tarila Okar writes Buhari, demands release of her Father.

Tarila Okah, daughter of Mr. Charles Okah, currently remanded at Kuje Prison and standing trial before s the Federal High Court in Abuja for the 2010 Independence Day bomb incident, has written to President Muhammadu Buhari, asking him to intervene in her father's matter.
In the letter, made available to SaharaReporters, Tarila wants Buhari to view her father's situation as an injustice to him.
"Mr. President, I am writing this letter principally to draw your attention, the entire people of Nigeria, and members of the international community to what I perceive as an injustice being wilfully and maliciously meted to my father by the Nigerian state. "Within the last 10 months, disturbing media reports about his attempt to commit suicide at the Federal High Court in Abuja on October 6, 2015 and his failing health are sad reminders of the harsh reality of my father's frustration with the judicial system in Nigeria, which is notorious for elastic trials that can drag on for years on end and wear out all parties," she wrote.
She complained about her father's protracted trial occasioned either by the absence of the presiding trial judge on account of attending a conference or for other reasons. These, she said, brings disrepute to Nigeria's country's justice system.
"For instance, the prosecutor, Alex Izinyon, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, failed to attend one of the trials on a date that had been agreed upon beforehand, instead choosing to attend his child's graduation ceremony abroad.
"With all due respect, Mr. President, no democratic government anywhere in the world, including Canada where I currently reside, would treat a prisoner's attempt at suicide as well as the prisoner's failing health, with disdain.
"Such a peculiar prisoner's case ought to be concluded speedily by the judiciary.
"Alternatively, such a prisoner of conscience, like my father, should be granted bail.
"However, from all indications, the Nigerian government is clearly insensitive to his plight," she further wrote.
Tarila said she has with spoken many Nigerian lawyers, who have sufficiently educated her that her Section 162 of the new Criminal Justice Administration Law of the country, her father is entitled to bail, having spent over three years in prison custody. In spite of this, she said, Justice Gabriel Kolawole has twice overruled her father's applications for bail. Even then, Tarila added, the trial has been crawling. Tarila noted that Justice Kolawole, in 2011, easily granted bail to Senator Ali Ndume, who was standing trial for terrorism as an alleged sponsor of Boko Haram.
"Today, after being re-elected on the platform of your party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Ndume is the Majority Leader of Nigeria's upper legislative chamber, the Senate, while my father (who is equally as important to society) is still languishing in prison as an inmate awaiting trial almost six years after he was first arrested on October 16, 2010, on suspicion of being "Jomo Gbomo," the spokesman for the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND)," her letter said.
Tarila also complained about the position of the media on her father's culpability otherwise in the Independence Day bomb incident. At first, she said, Okah was accused of being the spokesperson of MEND. Later, she added,  she was painted as an accomplice to the alleged crime. "After the media and the Nigerian government realised that 'Jomo Gbomo' was still releasing statements on behalf of MEND, even as my father was firmly held in custody, now, he is accused of being the mastermind," she said.
Tarila said, thus far, the prosecution has relied heavily on 'witnesses,' all of whom have provided contradictory statements under cross-examination. She pointed out that at a recent court sitting, a witness from the Department of State Security (DSS), who claimed to be a crime scene investigator, admitted that no evidence was collected at the crime scene. However, another witness who allegedly 'sold' a Mazda car to the second defendant, admitted under cross-examination that the first time he set his eyes on the said car (Exhibit 2) was at the premises of the DSS Abuja Headquarters.
"Without prejudice to his ongoing trial before Justice Gabriel Kolawole, I honestly believe that my father is innocent of the crimes alleged against him. Over the six-year period of his incarceration and trial, his businesses which employed many Nigerians have collapsed; his family is in disarray.
"Years apart, especially under such circumstances, often dissolves the emotional bonds between a husband and his wife, and for my much younger siblings who have now spent more time without their father, there are virtually no emotional bonds to be dissolved," she said.
Tarila also told Buhari that she will be getting married in a few weeks, an event that will take place without her father's involvement. Tarila said she feels a mixture of joy and pain as this day approaches knowing that her father is alive but in captivity.
"Clearly, my siblings and I are being punished vicariously by the Nigerian state for crimes allegedly committed by our father, which have not been proven beyond reasonable doubt by a court of competent jurisdiction.
"Unfortunately, in Nigeria, the mere act of filing even trumped-up charges carries along with it a strong presumption of guilt, which has led to my father's conviction in the court of public opinion and has also led to the abuse of his fundamental human rights.
"I know that some Nigerians, on reading this open letter, will attack me for daring to appeal for my father's freedom, but my message to those compatriots is simple: it is high time we focused on finding the real perpetrators," she challenged.
Tarila concluded by calling in Buhari to take his administration' fight against corruption beyond financial crimes to judicial misdemeanours.

JAMB Releases New guidelines for 2016 Admission Process.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released its guidelines for the 2016 admissions’ process.
The exam body said it has adopted what it termed the point system option after an extensive one-week meeting JAMB had with universities and other tertiary institutions’ administrators in the country.
While explaining how the admission process would work for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidates and direct entry students, the organisation stated that universities were going to charge fees for screening of candidates at the end of the process for admission.
According to JAMB, “the new method uses a point system to offer provisional admission to candidates.”
“Before a candidate can be considered for screening, he/she must have been offered a provisional admission by JAMB. The JAMB admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process, so praying is all you can do now,” JAMB said.
The statement said, “JAMB’s provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith. The points are evenly spread out between your O’ Level and JAMB results to provide a level-playing field for all.
“In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10 points. The exam could be NECO, WASSCE, November/December WASSCE etc, but any candidate who has two sittings only gets 2 points. So this means that candidates with only one result are at an advantage but only just.”

The organisation added that the “next point grades fell into the O’ Level grades where each grade would have it equivalent point; A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better the candidates’ grades, the better his or her chances of securing admission this year.
“The next point is the UTME scores where each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarised thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points,” JAMB explained.
Giving a breakdown, JAMB explained that each category would contain five JAMB results per point added.
For example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20 points, while a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points.
JAMB added that the point system for direct entry would be released soon.
JAMB stated that fees would still be charged for screening which would replace the Post UTME test.
JAMB also emphasised that catchment and educationally less-developed state would still be used for admission into the nation’s tertiary institutions.
JAMB said, “Merit contains 45 per cent of the total candidates for a particular course, Catchment contains 35 per cent and ELDS and staff lists contains the rest. Cut off marks will be released by the institutions this year in the form of points and not marks.
“If a school declares its cut off mark for Medicine as 90 points and JAMB grants a candidate with 250 a provisional admission but his/her total points falls short of the 90 points, then he/she will lose the admission. So the provisional admission is just a means to an end, not the end in itself.”

Stella Oduah challenges anybody with proves that she deposited N2.5b in her Maid's account to publish it.

Stella Oduah, a former Minister of Aviation and
senator (PDP-Anambra North), on Monday
denied reports that the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission was on her trail
for allegedly stashing nearly N2.5 billion in a
bank account she set up using the identity of
her domestic aide.
Ms. Oduah, who said she received the reports
while relaxing in her country home in Anambra
State, challenged those who published the
allegations to publish proofs that substantiate
her guilt.
News website, SaharaReporters, had on
Sunday reported EFCC sources as revealing
to it how Ms. Oduah used the name and
pictures of the unnamed maid to set up the
account.
“Senator Oduah apparently opened the
account with her housemaid’s name, image,
and details without the housemaid knowing
about it,” Sahara Reporters quoted one of the
EFCC sources as saying.
The account, the report said, was still active
as at last week.
But in a rebuttal her office sent to PREMIUM
TIMES around 9 a.m. Monday, Ms. Oduah
said the reports were “totally false, baseless
and at best the imagination of the platform.”
In the statement, signed by Francisca Onyeisi,
head of communications, Ms. Oduah said that
if the reports were true, she would have been
arrested long before now, especially at a time
when the EFCC is “freezing accounts and
going after opposition governors who enjoy
same level of immunity as the president.”
The former minister, therefore, urged her
supporters and the general public to ignore the
reports, saying she had “made a mark in oil
and gas and Agricultural businesses before
joining politics.”

Some Hardcore Truth about Marriage, you must never ignore.

1. There is nothing that threatens the security of a wife than the thought of another woman competing for the attention and affection of her husband. Nothing is more painful. Nothing is more disrespecting. Nothing is more insulting. Nothing is more belittling and degrading.

2. Marriage flourishes when the couple works together as a team; when both husband and wife decide that winning together is more important than keeping score.
Good marriages don't just happen. They are a product of hard work.

3. Your children are watching you and forming lasting opinions on love, commitment, and marriage based on what they see in you. Give them hope. Make them look forward to marriage.

4. Husbands: The reason why other women look attractive is because someone is taking good care of them. Grass is always green where it is watered. Instead of drooling over the green grass on the other side of the fence, work on yours and water it regularly. Any man can admire a beautiful woman, but it takes a true gentleman to make a woman admirable and beautiful.

5. When a husband puts his wife first above everyone and everything except God, it gives his wife the sense of security and honor that every wife hungers for.

6. A successful marriage doesn't require a big house, a perfect spouse, a million dollars or an expensive car. You can have all the above and still have a miserable marriage. A successful marriage requires honesty, undying commitment and selfless love and God at the center of it all.

7. Pray for your spouse every day; in the morning, in the afternoon and at evening. Don’t wait until there is a problem. Don’t wait until there is an affair. Don’t wait until something bad happens. Don’t wait until your spouse is tempted. Shield your spouse with prayer and cover your marriage with the fence of prayer.

8. The people you surround yourself with have a lot of influence on your marriage. Friends can build or break your marriage; choose them wisely.

9. One spouse cannot build a marriage alone when the other spouse is committed to destroying it. Marriage works when both husband and wife work together as a team to build their marriage.

10. Don't take your spouse for granted. Don't take advantage of your spouse's meekness and goodness. Don't mistake your spouse's loyalty for desperation. Don't misuse or abuse yours spouse's trust. You may end up regretting after losing someone that meant so much to you.

11. Beware of marital advice from single people. Regardless of how sincere their advice may be, most of it is theoretical and not derived from real life experiences. If you really need Godly advice, seek it from God-fearing, impartial and prayerful mature couples whose resolve has been tested by time and shaped by trials.

12. Dear wife, Don't underestimate the power of the tongue on your marriage. The tongue has the power to crush your marriage or build it up. Don't let the Devil use your tongue to kill your spouse's image, self-confidence and aspirations. Let God use your tongue to build up your marriage and bless and praise your spouse.

England, perpetual under achievers, disgrace by tiny Iceland!

England were dealt a humiliating 2-1 defeat by minnows Iceland on Monday as Roy Hodgson's side crashed out of Euro 2016 in one of the most stunning upsets in the history of the game.
Ragnar Sigurdsson cancelled out Wayne Rooney's fourth-minute opener before Kolbeinn Sigthorsson's tame shot squirmed past England goalkeeper Joe Hart for an 18th-minute winner.
Three days on from Britain's vote to leave the European Union, England followed the country's lead by exiting Europe, their quest for a first title since the 1966 World Cup doomed to continue.
It ranked alongside their 1-0 loss to the part-timers of the United States at the 1950 World Cup and sent Iceland, appearing at their first major tournament, into a glamour quarter-final with hosts France.
England manager Roy Hodgson is now almost certain to lose his job, with Football Association chairman Greg Dyke having said recently that the team would have to "do well" in France for him to be offered a new contract.
Ironically, Hodgson's fate was sealed by his former protege Lars Lagerback -- Iceland's joint coach alongside Heimir Hallgrimsson -- who began his coaching career under the Englishman's tutelage in Sweden in the late 1970s.
As expected, Hodgson made six changes to his starting XI at a muggy Stade de Nice, which included a recall for Raheem Sterling.
The Manchester City forward was criticised for some insipid group-stage displays, but he made an excellent start, racing onto Daniel Sturridge's fine pass and drawing a foul from Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson.
Rooney planted the penalty into the bottom-left corner to crown his 115th England appearance -- which tied David Beckham's record for an outfield player -- with a 53rd international goal.
- Attacking changes -
Remarkably, his side's lead was to last only 34 seconds.
Hodgson had warned of the dangers of Aron Gunnarsson's long throw-ins prior to the game, but from the Iceland captain's right-wing missile, Kari Arnason headed the ball on and Sigurdsson charged in behind a dosing Kyle Walker to volley home from close range.
It drew a roar from the blue-shirted fans in the Iceland end and after Dele Alli and Harry Kane had fired narrowly over for England, they were screaming with disbelief in the 18th minute.
Gylfi Sigurdsson and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson worked the ball to Sigthorsson and with England's defenders standing off, the Nantes striker rolled a shot goal-wards that Hart could only palm into his bottom-left corner.
Having also allowed a Gareth Bale free-kick to squirm past him in the 2-1 win over Wales, it was the City goalkeeper's second major blunder of the tournament.
Kane threatened to provide an immediate riposte with a stinging volley that was brilliantly palmed over by Halldorsson, but in the main Hodgson's men were reduced to long-range potshots.
Hodgson made two attacking changes -- Jack Wilshere replacing Eric Dier at half-time, Jamie Vardy taking Sterling's place on the hour -- but despite their firepower, there was no craft whatsoever to England's approach play.
Had Ragnar Sigurdsson's overhead bicycle kick not flown straight at Hart early in the second half, meanwhile, England would have had a mountain to climb.
But Sigthorsson's goal was to prove enough, with Alli hooking over and Kane heading straight at Halldorsson before the final whistle brought England's players to their knees and sent the Iceland bench tearing onto the pitch in celebration.

Ronaldo now the richest Athlete in the world!

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona striker Lionel Messi topped the Forbes magazine list of the world's highest-paid athletes on Wednesday in the wake of boxer Floyd Mayweather's retirement and back surgery for golfer Tiger Woods.
The annual list of total revenues for top sports stars had been topped 12 times by Woods and in three of the last four by Mayweather, who retired unbeaten last year.
This year, 31-year-old Portugal forward Ronaldo topped the list at $88 million (77.2 million euros) with $56 million in salary and $32 million more from endorsement deals.
The three-time FIFA player of the year is a marketing juggernaut with a new Nike deal worth $13 million annually plus endorsement partners such as Tag Heuer and Herbalife plus his own lines of suits, cologne, shirts, shoes, underwear and hotels.
Messi, who sat out Argentina's opening victory at the Copa America Centenario this week, was next at $81.4 million, with $28 million of that from sponsorships.
LeBron James, who leads the Cleveland Cavaliers against defending champion Golden State in the ongoing NBA Finals, was third on the list and tops among Americans with $77.2 million. He has endorsement deals of $54 million, including a lifetime pact with Nike that could pay off to the tune of $1 billion, and $23.2 million in club salary.
James made his movie debut in "Trainwreck" last year and is set to star in the sequel to the 1996 Michael Jordan film "Space Jam" as well as take a huge salary boost next year when the NBA's new $24 billion television deal starts.
Golden State's Stephen Curry, the NBA Most Valuable Player and scoring champion, shared 69th on $23.6 million with world number one golfer Jason Day of Australia.
Roger Federer, the Swiss tennis star with a record 17 men's Grand Slam singles titles, was fourth on $67.8 million. He set the pace in sponsor income at $60 million.
- Top 100 make $3.15 billion -
Television rights fee hikes helped fuel team sport stars, boosting the top-100 cutoff to $20.8 million, $2 million more than last year. The study time frame runs for the 12 months ending one week ago.
The top 100 include 65 Americans and athletes from 22 other nations encompassing 10 sports, with the most from baseball at 26. Together the top 100 took home a combined $3.15 billion, 29 percent of it from endorsements and appearances.
The 2015 leaders, Mayweather and Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao, both sank with the end of their ring careers. Mayweather dipped to 16th with $44 million in earnings while Pacquiao was 63rd at $24 million.
World number one Serena Williams, runner-up at this years French and Australian Opens, was the highest earning woman at $28.9 million, 40th overall, with doping-banned Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova 88th on $21.9 million.
Sixth overall on the list was Serbian Novak Djokovic, who cracked the top 10 for the first time at $55.8 million, with $34 million in endorsements. Djokovic won the French Open last Sunday to claim his fourth consecutive men's Grand Slam singles title and complete a career Grand Slam.

Aisha Buhari demands retraction from Fayose, after calling him a mad Dog.

The Wife of the President, Aisha Buhari on Wednesday demanded a full retraction of a widely-circulated material distributed by Ekiti State governor, Ayo Fayose, in which he claimed to have uncovered how Mrs. Buhari was allegedly mentioned as having transferred funds to a convicted former U.S. lawmaker, Williams Jefferson.
In a warning letter dispatched through her legal representatives, Mrs. Buhari said Mr. Fayose’s action was directly responsible for the publication of the “very wild and unfounded” allegations in the media.
A copy of the letter, sent to Mr. Fayose via courier on Wednesday, was exclusively made available to PREMIUM TIMES.
Through the letter, titled: “Demand for unqualified retraction of the false statement published by you in various media on the 20th of June, 2016, and subsequent dates regarding our client, Her Excellency, Mrs. Aisha Buhari the wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR,” the president’s wife gave Mr. Fayose five working days to retract the statement or face legal action.
“Our client has referred to us statement made by you and published on the 20th of June, 2016 (and other subsequent days) concerning and pertaining to her person for necessary action.
“The said statement which was caused by you and your agents to be widely circulated and published in various media platforms: print, electronic and online such as PREMIUM TIMES www.premiumtimesng.com on 20th of June, 2016, contains very wild, unfounded and false allegations and imputations against the person of our client.
“Specifically, in the said statement credited to you and signed by your Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, you, inter alia, false stated as follows:
“”Even the president cannot claim to be an angel. The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted over the Halliburton Scandal (sic). When that American, Jeferson, was being sentenced, the President’s wife was mentioned as having wired $170,000 to Jefferson. Her name was on page 25 of the sentencing of Jefferson. We can serialise the judgement for people to see and read,” Ismaila Alasa and Mary Ekpene, who signed the letter on behalf of the law firm, said.
“Take notice that unless you and your agents meet our humble demands within 5 (five) working days of the receipt of this letter, we shall take all necessary steps within the contemplation of the law to seek redress for our client.”
Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, could not immediately confirm or deny if Mary Ekpere & Co. is indeed the solicitors to Mr. Buhari.
Mr. Fayose had on Monday evening distributed a statement which contained excerpts of court documents sourced from the United States Department of Justice Website.
In the statement, Mr. Fayose said Mrs. Buhari was an accomplice in the bribery scandal that landed Mr. Jefferson in jail, saying he added the link as a proof.
Although an Aisha Buhari was mentioned in the case files, those who investigated the matter have, however, said that Aisha Buhari is an impostor and not the wife of Mr. Buhari.
Two former chairman of Nigeria’s anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, have come out within the past two days say Mrs. Buhari had no connection with the Jefferson bribery scandal.
In separate interviews with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, Ibrahim Lamorde, the immediate past chairman of the EFCC, and Nuhu Ribadu, the pioneer head of the agency, said they carried out extensive investigation into the case during their respective tenures and established that the woman named in the scandal was an impostor of the president’s wife.
Mr. Buhari himself had in the past stated, categorically, that he had no connection with the Aisha Buhari in the Jefferson scandal, who is also said to be based in the United States.

Terrorists Fulani herdsmen kill 13 in Tiv communities of Benue State, North Central Nigeria.

No fewer than 13 persons have been killed by suspected Fulani Herdsmen in two local government areas of Logo and Ukum in Benue State.
The attack is coming barely three days after Governor Samuel Ortom met with stakeholders from Katsina-Ala, Ukum and Logo local government areas to deliberate on ways to tackle the incessant herdsmen attacks.
This is the third attack within last Saturday and Sunday this week, where 59 persons were reportedly killed in the area.
The Benue State Police Command’s Public Relations Officer, ASP Moses Yamu, confirmed that four people were killed in the Vaase community of Ukum, while three corpses were recovered in Anyiin and one in Uzer in Logo LGA of the state. He said five corpses were recovered from Tsukwa.
Yamu said the attacks were carried out simultaneously at 2am by the suspected herdsmen.
Speaking on the new development, former Senior Special Assistant on Media to the former governor, Gabriel Suswam, who hails from Anyiin, Chief Joseph Anawah, said that five persons were first shot dead at Tsukwa settlement before security operatives came to the place.
He maintained that the attackers, however, continued shooting in some places and that he saw two corpses recovered at Anyiin, while several others injured were receiving treatment at NKST Hospital at Anyiin.
In his reaction, the State Coordinator of Myetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Garus Gololo, who had earlier blamed the incessant crisis on continuing reprisal from the two warring factions, said the inability of former governor Suswam to resolve issues between the herdsmen and the farmers was responsible for the frequent crises.
