Photos: Pics From protest by workers at the Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos
A staff said, what angered them even more was the recent deduction of N7,500 from their salary due to a claim from management that workers have been overpaid for 5 years. They said there is disregard for their rights and unjust exploitation of their services hence disregard for their effort and hard work. The workers said they've had enough and are demanding change from management. They are now insisting on an association to help them fight for their rights. More pics below.
Nigeria Will break if Jonathan loses, - Tompolo insists
In a statement released by his Media Adviser, Mr Paul Bebenimibo, in Warri yesterday January 29th, Tompolo attacked Gen Theophilus Danjuma for calling for his arrest alongside Asari Dokubo and other Niger delta warlords. He said the treaty that merged the Northern and Southern protectorate of Nigeria expired last year and everyone should be grateful to President Jonathan for keeping Nigeria together. Part of his statement after the cut...but meanwhile, the presidency has condemned this war threat from Tompolo and others..
"Gen.
Danjuma and his cohorts should know that I remain resolute on my
position in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, that President Goodluck Jonathan
must win this election for Nigeria to continue to stay together. Gen.
Danjuma should be reminded that the devilish treaty that brought the
Southern and Northern Protectorates together in 1914 expired last
year. Danjuma and his likes, such as Gen. Buhari, Gen. Obasanjo and Mr.
Bola Tinubu, should be grateful to President Jonathan who has been
keeping this country together. If
not for President Jonathan, Nigeria would not have been any
more. Danjuma and his cohorts should be reminded of the saying that
‘those who live in glass house should not throw stones’. The call by
Gen. T.Y Danjuma (rtd) to arrest me and other agitators for a better
living for the people of the Niger Delta region is an indication that he
is behind terrorism in the North eastern part of the country as well as
the stoning of President Jonathan’s convoy in Kastina and Bauchi
states, because he has never condemned those acts, even though Boko
Haram attacked churches and mosques in his home town. Is Gen. Danjuma
not aware of the peaceful atmosphere when Gen. Buhari visited Delta,
Rivers and Bayelsa (home state of the President) states for
campaign? Why is it that President Jonathan’s convoy was attacked in
Kastina and Bauchi states without any provocation? Who is Gen. Danjuma
if not for the oil wealth he is enjoying from the Niger Delta? He should
be rather arrested for being behind terrorism in the North. Where was
Danjuma when Mallam Ciroma Adamu threatened to make Nigeria
ungovernable, if President Jonathan defeated the All Progressive
Congress Presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammedu Buhari? Where was this
so called statesman when the APC campaign Director General (DG), Mr.
Rotimi Ameachi threatened to form a parallel government if President
Jonathan wins the 2015 elections? Where was this hypocrite when Dr.
Junaid Muhammed, Muhammedu Buhari and Atiku Abubakar all said in
separate interviews that the nation will boil if Jonathan won the
election in 2011? Is it the interest of Nigeria Gen. Danjuma is
protecting or his oil bloc in the Niger Delta? Is it the interest of
Nigeria Danjuma is protecting or his 50 million dollars donation to Gen.
Buhari for his campaign? Let Gen. Danjuma and his cohorts know that
they will not see any Ijaw man, the Igbos and others to fight on their
side if the war that they are planning broke up,”.
In a related development, the Ijaw
Youths Council (IYC), also released a statement signed by its
spokesman, Eric Omare yesterday January 29th where they faulted the call
by Gen Danjuma to arrest the Niger Delta ex-militants.
"We
are surprised that General Danjuma swiftly called for the arrest of
Tompolo, Asari and other Niger-Deltans, whereas he has neither condemned
nor called for the arrest of those who have been consistently attacking
the convoy of President Jonathan in the northern part of the country.
General Danjuma’s call is not deserving of an elder statesman who is
supposed to be unbiased rather than his obvious bias against the
Niger-Delta people. Only yesterday, in Gombe State a supporter of
President Jonathan who was pasting his posters was attacked and
seriously brutalised. Why has General Danjuma not condemned this
dastardly act if he is really an elder statement? There
was no time at the meeting the Governor of Bayelsa State, Hon. Seriake
Dickson, with youth leaders and ex-Niger Delta freedom fighters where it
was resolved that Niger Delta people would destabilise Nigeria, if
President Jonathan fails the February 14, 2015 presidential
election. This did not form part of the resolutions of the meeting,
which were read out by Hon. Kingsley Kuku for Governor Dickson to
transmit to Mr. President. The meeting was called by the Governor of
Bayelsa State, to solicit support for President Jonathan from
Niger-Delta youths and ex-freedom fighters. However, the meeting frowned
at and its dissatisfaction with the persistent attack on the campaign
convoy of President Jonathan in some northern states when General
Buhari, his main opponent, was protected and campaigned freely in the
south during his campaign tour. Hence, the meeting condemned in the
strongest terms the attack on President Jonathan and resolved that
nobody can intimidate President Jonathan out of the presidential race.
At the meeting, all the youth leaders and ex-Niger Delta freedom
fighters resolved to put their grievances aside and agree to work for
the re-election of President Jonathan. Therefore, the report on
ex-militants threatening to destabilise Nigeria in the event of
President Jonathan losing the 2015 election is not part of the
resolution of the meeting. The meeting could not have discussed that as
we are confident that President Jonathan would win the February 14, 2015 presidential
election. We, therefore, call on Nigerians and the security agencies to
disregard the call for arrest of Tompolo, Asari and others, which is
based on a misleading report. The accusation levelled against President
Jonathan by the APC is also unfounded,” the statement said.
Four APC members arrested for allegedly vandalizing PDP billboards in Enugu
Four young men suspected to be working for the All Progressive Congress, APC, were on Thursday night arrested
by the police while destroying billboards and other advertising outdoor
signs of the Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Hon. Ifeanyi
Ugwuanyi.The four suspects were arrested by men of the New Haven
Divisional Police station who were on patrol. They are being detained in the police station at the time of filling this report. Daily Post gathered that the APC guber candidate in the State, Barr. Okey Ezea, stormed the police station to free the suspects.According to a police source, his efforts, however, met a brick wall when the Divisional Police Officer refused all his entreaties, insisting that the matter must be properly investigated.
The source alleged that Ezea, on seeing that the DPO was not ready to let the suspected thugs go, resorted to verbal threats.The police source quoted him as saying, “I will deal you ruthless because it seems you don’t known whom you are dealing with. If you release these boys now, I will revisit this when we take government of this country.”
Parts of the vandised billboards recovered from the suspects, including the torn flexy materials, iron bars, props were seen at the police station.According to a reliable Police, the suspects will soon be charged court.Both Ugwuanyi and Ezea were yet to make official reaction to the matter as at the time of filling this report.

Watch Jimi Agbaje & Akinwunmi Ambode LCCI Governorship Debate
For those undecided voters in Lagos, you might want to watch this
two-part video of Jimi Agbaje and Akinwunmi Ambode slugging it out at a
debate that was hosted by the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry on
Friday, January 23.
This is the second gubernatorial debate between these
two candidates and it presented a rather revealing spectacle - to say
the least - considering a lot has been said about "experience" or the
lack thereof in the course of this election cycle.
Placing all Party affiliations aside and weighing these men solely on
the merits of this debate, If you were to choose, who do you think came
out tops in this debate? Also, what part of the debate did you find the
most intriguing as a potential voter? #LagosDecides

Jagged Edge member arrested after forcing his fiancée to eat her engagement ring
According to Atlanta police, they were called to the home of Kylie Norman around 5am and when they got to the area, they saw a woman with "welts under her eyes, a golf ball-sized knot on her forehead, a cut to her nose and a blood clot in her right eye".
The woman was later identified at Norman's fiancee. She told police they'd been arguing about the details of their upcoming wedding when Norman attacked her, punched her, choked her with a scarf and then shoved her engagement ring down her throat.
Police say after the attack, Norman broke her phone and seized her car keys, refusing to let her leave the house. She said because she was scared for her life, she began to agree with everything he said in other to calm him down. When he was calm and walked away from her, she took his phone and ran out of the house to a neighbour's house where she called the police.
“She stated that she began to agree with things that he was saying in an attempt to calm him down,” the officer who was at the scene wrote. “While doing that he turned around and walked away inside their loft and she ran and grabbed his cell phone and was able to run outside and awake a neighbor who let her inside.”Norman was immediately arrested and he later told police he was upset about his dad having cancer and that’s the reason he got so mad at his fiance.
