The late Obi and the new King

 

15-year old son of late Obi Akaeze Edward Ofulue III, who was kidnapped and subsequently murdered last month by gun­men, Chukwuka Noah Akaeze I, has been installed as a new Obi (King) and presented to the people of Ubulu-Uku Kingdom in Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.

 

The presentation of Obi Akaeze I fol­lowed the fulfillment of different rites that culmi­nated in his crowning as King by the kingmakers of Ubulu-Uku. He was first presented to the members of the Royal family before the presentation to the coun­cil of elders at the palace.

 

It was gathered that the brief ceremony was attended by prominent citizens of the kingdom including the member representing Aniocha/Oshimili constituency at the Federal House of Representatives, Mrs. Ony­emaechi Mrakpor and the President-General of Ubulu-Uku Development Union, Comrade Jones Ofunne.

 

Also in attendance was the chairman of Anio­cha South council, Mr. Isaac Anwuzia, traditional chiefs and title holders in the kingdom, religious leaders, women, youths and other stakeholders of the agrarian community.

 

Secretary of the Palace, Barr. Joseph Obazei who spoke on the significance of the ceremony, de­scribed it as 'wonderful in our time.'

 

"This is a young man who was not even looking up to this position because his father was young and vibrant, unfortunately this bad event occurred.

"He has now been thrust upon the throne taking up the mantle of his late father. Ubulu-Uku people are very happy that somebody has taken up the throne because the king never dies. When it appears that there is no king, there is already a king. That is what has just happened."

 

Barr. Obazei said that in Ubulu- Uku tradition, there were not too many rites to the installation of a new king.

 

"By our tradition, you can wake up in the morn­ing and see the heir apparent sitting on the throne and issue orders which will be obeyed. That will show that something happened in the night and something has happened now.

"So this young man has taken over the stool of his father, and now he can begin to direct the town," he explained.

Beatrice Itubo, the factional Chairman of the Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress, escaped the attempted assassination, after a gang of three gunmen broke into her residence in the early hours of Saturday.

 

According to DailyPost reports that the hoodlums stormed Itubo’s residence at Rumuaholu community in Obio-Akpor Local Government Area, shot at the gate and damaged doors to force their way into her bedroom.

 

Confirming the development in an interview, Itubo said one of the gunmen was overpowered by members of her household, while two of the gang members escaped.

 

Beatrice Itubo, who leads a faction of the NLC in Rivers State, said it was possible that she was attacked because of the power tussle in the union. She urged the Rivers State Police Command to investigate the attempted assassination and bring the perpetrators to justice.

 

Narrating her experience, she said: “At about 3 am, I started hearing some noise with dogs around my area barking. I told my husband, then I became restless. In the next few minutes I saw them in my room. They used my younger brother to make me open the door to my room.

“As they were walking into my room, my younger brother shouted that I should run that they are not armed robbers, they want to kill you. So we shut the door immediately and locked the rest of them outside to battle with the armed one already inside.

 

“They were all masked but by the grace of God my husband and my younger brother were able to over-power him and unarm him. We have handed him over to the police. The rest ran away.”

 

Policemen from Rumuokoro Division in Port Harcourt visited the scene of the attack and took the motionless body of one of the suspected assassins.

At a star studded event last night at the Eko Hotel, venue of Senator Ben Murray-Bruce’s 60th birthday bash. The show had in attendance top people in the political and entertainment industry as well as several music stars including the Mavin crew led by Don Jazzy and estranged friend of the defunct MoHitz Records, Dbanj, among others. 

 

After the likes of 2face Idibia, Timaya, M.I, Wizkid, Koredo Bello, Reekado Bank among many others had performed, it was D’banj’s turn to do his thing. He performed and got the audience elated with his unique performance. His performance got to the climax when he went to the crowd to bring out the birthday boy.

Silverbird boss, Ben Bruce got to the stage, collected the microphone from D’banj and started calling out to Don Jazzy to join them on the stage. 

 

Don Jazzy was nowhere to be found. Dbanj also rushed to the crowd to fetch his erstwhile friend, but he had disappeared. Meanwhile, one of the wishes of the birthday boy for the night was for the duo (Don Jazzy and D’banj) to perform together on one stage just to tell the world that there's no more war.

Responding to Ben Bruce’s 'please do this for me, it is my birthday request' plea, D’banj said that he is ready to work with the Mavin boss whenever he is ready.

 

"I have given serious consideration to this. Before I came on stage, I went to Don Jazzy and asked him to join me on stage. If he gives me a beat today, the song will be ready the next day," D’banj said.

At this point when Don jazzy is still nowhere to be found, D’banj said: "Uncle Ben, what you are asking me to do, I have done already. As I was coming up the stage, I saw him sitting over there and I told him I will call him on stage for a joint performance, but now he has run away. If you want us to do a duet, talk to Don Jazzy; It’s in his hands because if he agrees tomorrow, we will do it next tomorrow. I am ready anytime." 

 

However, when Don Jazzy noticed Twitter was on his case, insinuating he left the birthday party venue so as not to perform jointly with D’banj, he tweeted these: 

 

Uganda's President Wins 5th Term in Presidential Elections After Spending 30 Years in Power

The president of Uganda has just won another term in office after having already spent 30 years in the seat of power.

 

 

Uganda's President, Yoweri Museveni extended his three-decade rule on Saturday after winning a fifth term in polls rejected as fraudulent by his closest rival who was under house arrest.

 

The veteran 71-year-old won 60% of the vote in the sometimes chaotic elections, far ahead of the 35% garmered by detained opposition leader, Kizza Besigye, whose house was surrounded by dozens of armed police in riot gear.

 

"The commission declares Yoweri Kaguta Museveni the elected President of the Republic of Uganda," Election Commission chief Badru Kiggundu said as he read out results.

 

Large numbers of police and troops have been deployed on the streets of the capital Kampala. US Secretary of State John Kerry on Friday urged Museveni to "rein in" his security forces.

 

"The outcome of an elections can either tear or build a country... as Ugandans let us be prepared to exhibit more tolerance," commission chief Kiggundu said. "We love this country and you Ugandans love your country."

 

Besigye's party has decried results as "fraudulent", but Museveni's National Resistance Movement (NRM) party swiftly issued a statement celebrating the win.

 

"The result confirmed that our opponents failed to offer any alternative," NRM spokesman Mike Sebalu said. "Behind their vague claims of change, there were no policies and no chance of progress and people saw through these empty claims."

 

Ugandan police chief Kale Kayihura also warned that celebrations after results required police permission. "We anticipate that candidates who have won in the elections intended to hold celebratory activities... To protect public order, all candidates planning celebrations must first discuss and get clearance," he said.

 

The election on Thursday was disrupted in Kampala by the late arrival of ballot boxes and papers and angry demonstrations by voters that the police quelled using tear gas.

 

At nearly 28,000 other polling centres voting passed off smoothly, but the ballot was extended for a second day in 36 places after delays that Commonwealth election observers called "inexcusable" and that "seriously detracted from the fairness and credibility of the result."

 

European Union election observers on Saturday said that "voting was conducted in a calm and peaceful environment in the vast majority of the country". But the observers also voiced criticism over the "lack of transparency and independence" of the electoral commission.

 

Ex-prime minister Amama Mbabazi, a former ruling party stalwart, was trailing in a distant third with just over one percent of the vote.

This is a somewhat bold step for the actress whose billionaire husband, Musa Danjuma, is reported to have impregnated his mistress based in the UK, a situation that has since led to their separation. 

 

The mistress has been identified as Maya, and according to reports, the marriage between the mother of three and her husband fell apart owing to his love for women.

 

Other sources confirmed that Caroline suffered several cases of physical abuse and battery from her husband before she felt she had had enough and left the union.

A woman has shown her disgust for her barren daughter-in-law in a most dramatic way as she stormed her son's home and drove her away.

A 31-year-old housewife has narrated how she was chased away from her matrimonial home by her mother-in-law because she could not bear a child for five years after she got married to the woman’s son in Lagos.

 

According to PM News, the woman, Mrs. Adaeze Nwosu revealed this at the Ejigbo Customary court where she and her husband are seeking the dissolution of the marriage on several grounds.

 

The embittered Adaeze lamented that her mother in-law contributed to the collapse of their marriage after she invaded their home and asked her to leave since she could not bear a child.

 

She also said her mother-in-law insisted that she would remain in the couple’s home until her son, Godwin impregnated any woman so that she could grand a child.

 

Adaeze said that her mother-in-law stayed and started wooing women for her husband and they were sleeping on their matrimonial bed but none of them was able to get pregnant for him after several months.

 

She said the trauma and intimidation became unbearable and she was forced to move out of her matrimonial home to have peace of mind.

 

The embittered woman said while all this was going on, her husband did not object to his mother’s meddlesome. Rather, he was fully obeying his mom’s directive by sleeping with the women.

 

She said when it became obvious that the marriage had irretrievably broken up, she suggested to Godwin to go to court for the dissolution of the marriage so that they can go their separate ways.

 

Both Godwin and Adaeze appealed before to the court that the marriage was boring and characterized by crises and that they do not have feelings for each other anymore.

 

Godwin who resides at 20, Oluwale street, Ejigbo with his wife, Adaeze, filed the suit on the ground of lack of care, irreconcilable differences, incompatibility, lack of love and asked the court to dissolve the marriage.

 

Adaeze in responses, told the court that Godwin was right on the claims for seeking divorce and pleaded with the court to immediately dissolve the marriage.

 

The court had earlier adjourned the matter for counseling and when it was obvious that they would not be able to reconcile their differences, the court went ahead with the hearing.

 

The matter has been adjourned for judgment.
