Kanu was NOT arrested or extradited by the British – Reno Omokri

Naomitheboss

I just spoke with a top UK government source. Nnamdi Kanu was NOT arrested or extradited by the British. According to this official, Kanu was “almost definitely arrested in KENYA” and “it was an illegal detention”. I won’t reveal my source, but I have him on record.

For those who do not know how these things operate, the United Kingdom is a civilised nation that is governed by the Rule of Law. No one, no matter how wanted, can be arrested and extradited without extradition hearings before a court, especially when that person is a British citizen.

There are Nigerians who are currently fighting their extradition to Nigeria in court in the UK. They cannot leave the UK on their own volition or on the request of the Nigerian government until their hearings are exhausted. If they lose at the court of first instance, they have a right of appeal.

I repeat, Nnamdi Kanu was not arrested or extradited by the British government.

Also, it is a lie that he boarded a plane and came to Nigeria by himself. That is just propaganda.

Says “Nigeria is now a Disputed Project With Questionable Sovereignty”

Notable Statesmen and Leaders of thought on Sunday warned the International Community against borrowing the Nigerian Government loans, stating that “Nigeria is now a country with questionable Sovereignty”.

The Nigerians, numbering 129, were signatories to the Constitutional Force Majure (CFM) declared on December 16th 2020 on the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria.

Notable among the leaders are former Military Vice-President of Nigeria, Commodore Ebitu Ukiwe (Rtd), former Governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, Renowned Historian and Second Republic Member of the Senate, Banji Akintoye; former President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo; respected Varsity Don, Prof. Yusuf Turaki and 124 others.

In the four paragraphs statement, the Nigerians warned the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), United Nations, African Union, European Union, United States, French, Chinese and British Governments to cease lending loans to the Nigerian Government, stressing that borrowing a “disputed project” loan can only be considered an act of negligence.

The statement, made available to News Men on Sunday by the Chairman of the Steering Committee of NINAS, Otunba Folashade Olukoya, on behalf of the NINAS Secretariat, reads “News reaching the Nigerian Indigenous Nationalities Alliance for Self-Determination, (NINAS) says that the Nigerian government has taken on further loans.

“Again, we remind the International Community that Nigeria is now a disputed project. This was articulated in our Press Conference of 16 December 2020, when we declared a Constitutional Force Majeure.

“Subsequent activities as articulated at Press Conferences of 17 March 2021, and 17 April 2021 emphasise that Nigeria remains a disputed project. Knowing this and lending to a disputed project can only be considered negligence.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Indigenous Nations will not, and cannot be expected to repay such loans or allow their assets to be used as collateral to offset the loans.”, the Leaders warned.

Lands Available For Fulani Herders In Benue – Ortom Bows To Pressure

Naomitheboss

Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has said he would not hesitate to give land to any Fulani man who intends to do livestock business through ranching.

Speaking in Abuja at the 72nd birthday of Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher, former Nigerian Ambassador to Mexico, Ortom dismissed the insinuation that he is on a war path with Fulanis.

He said historically, the people of the state have always been friends with the Fulani.

The governor reiterated that his government would not back down on the anti-grazing law, arguing that ranching remains the best practice

”He has taken a decision now to be deliberate in explaining to people that the establishment of the anti-open grazing bill or law is a very progressive idea which is done in almost all countries of the world.

”Those who have a lot of cattle are still using ranching, and any Fulani person who wants to establish a ranching in Benue will have the land. Even if our ‘Chairman’ wants to start a ranch, he will get the land today.

”We will give you land and start the ranching today, so that people will see it as model and wherever we go, we want to correct the impression because if you read history, you will see that we have always been friends with Fulani.”

Late T.B Joshua’s Wife Emerges As Successor Of Synagogue Church

Naomitheboss

The wife of the late Nigerian pastor and founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), Evelyn Joshua, is poised to become the head of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

According to Africannews, the church’s elders met recently and declared Everlyn as the successor to the Nigerian televangelist TB Joshua .

“Someone must take charge immediately and give spiritual direction on the mode of service continuity. So much spiritual and financial efforts went into building SCOAN and it cannot just waste away,’’ a top aide said.

Evelyn met the late pastor in 1990 when she had traveled Egbe to visit her sister.

The two were married for 31 years and had three children.

It was further reported that she had gone to meet him for counseling and spiritual guidance.

TB Joshua proposed to her on the same day they first met after a 45-minute session.

Evelyn would later marry the self-proclaimed prophet to become second in command of the Synagogue, Church of All Nations.

Local Nigerian media estimate TB Joshua’s networth at $10million, placing him among the top richest pastors on the continent.

Apart from preaching, Evelyn also offers counseling among the church followers.

The two were married for 31 years and have three children until his death on June 5, 2021 .

Family sources say the leader will be buried at his church in Ikotun, Lagos state.

Initial reports indicated that the pastor will be buried at his church in Ikotun, Lagos state.

The church elders and family members later intervened and decided that the pastor will be buried in Lagos.

TB Joshua’s method of preaching and practice was more or less the same as other churches in Nigeria where the sick got cured, problems addressed among other issues.

Although the religious leader boasted an avid following, Prophet T.B. Joshua also had his share of critics who dismissed him as a charlatan and fraudster.

Some parties had cast doubts over his ‘miracle powers’ that saw him attract mammoth crowds whenever he had a mega rally.

Through his touch, congregants would fall down in what he described as casting out demons from the inflicted.

Non-believers have termed his work as a ‘sham’ and even called him a ‘fake’ preacher.

Therefore, Gumi said, he did not commit any offence.
