Swaziland king orders country men to marry 5 wives or go to jail for life

Swaziland king orders country men to marry 5 wives or go to jail for life

The king of Swaziland has instructed their men to marry at least five wives or risk going to jail.

According to the post, King Mswati III, the King of Swaziland, made a declaration in the country that men in Swaziland are mandated to marry five wives each or risk being jailed.

 

The king was said to have assured the men that the government of Swaziland would take care of the expenses of their marriage ceremonies and would buy houses for them if they married at least five wives.

The king’s words were, “Here’s the deal, marry at least five wives and you’re assured that the government will pay for the marriage ceremonies and buy houses for them.

 

According to media reports, King Mswati of Swaziland warned that any man or woman who opposes the decision made by the government regarding men marrying more than one wife “will face a life sentence.”

The King revealed that the order was put in place to make sure every woman in Swaziland gets a husband, as men taking more wives will help a lot of women get husbands.

The King of Swaziland revealed that there are more women than men in Swaziland, and this was fast becoming a problem because the country is said to be full of virgins, which is increasing, while the scarcity of men is growing too.

 

King Mswati reportedly has about 15 wives and 25 children, while his father, who was his predecessor, had over 70 wives and more than 150 children.

Delta 2023: Activist begs Orubebe to forgive kinsmen and support ljaw Agenda

Delta 2023: Activist begs Orubebe to forgive kinsmen and support ljaw Agenda

As the 2023 general elections draws nearer and the bid for Ijaw Governor thicken particularly in Delta State, a renowned youth advocate, social crusader and Niger Delta activist, Comr Keneware Emmanuel, popularly known as the "Pentiger" has written an appeal to Elder Godday Orubebe, a former Minister of Niger Delta Affairs to throw his weight wholeheartedly in the Ijaw Governorship Agenda.

The activist begged Orubebe, who was a former Governorship aspirant in 2015, to let bygone be bygone and support the Ijaw Agenda.

He said; it is bad for Ijaw to betray Ijaw looking at how marginalized and balkanized we are as a people in Nigeria.

Our struggle and fight should be on the Nigeria Government and the various draconian laws that prevent us from controlling and enjoying our resources, and not Ijaw against Ijaw.

Sir, it was very bad that your kinsmen and tribesmen never supported your ambition,  when we even have an Ijaw President at the federal government that would've okayed it at once.

But you're a leader par excellence, an elder statesman, a political icon, mentor, trailblazer worthy of emulation.

Your kinds who reverence God and serve him passionately despite your status, taste of power and wealth is very rare. 

As the Holy Bible says in Mathew 6:14-15, forgiveness is key as Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ commanded.

It is only when we forgive, then our Heavenly father will also forgive us.

I therefore, appeal passionately to you as a patriotic and passionate Ijaw son to throw your weight in the Ijaw Governorship Agenda. 

Not for anyone else, but for the sake of God and the Ijaw people, who are the most brutalized, marginalized, balkanized and neglected people in the Nigeria nation, the statement added.

Fear of the Unknown: Abba Kyari refuses to eat NDLEA food in cell

Fear of the Unknown: Abba Kyari refuses to eat NDLEA food in cell

....... Confessed working directly with cartels in Brazil, Ethiopia

Francis Tayor

Suspended DCP Abba Kyari has refused to eat food prepared by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, confessed working directly with cartels in Brazil, Ethiopia

According to Vanguard, Kyari is currently being held inside its cell at Gambia Street, Area 11, Garriki, Abuja.

NDLEA sources said he had been relying on food brought by a yet-to-be-identified friend, instead of eating what was prepared for him and other inmates inside the cell.

It was gathered that the once respected and highly rated police officer confided in his fellow cellmates that he didn’t trust whatever officials of the agency would give him because he wants to be alive to declare his innocence over the allegations against him.

It was also learned that almost 24 hours after he was declared wanted by the agency and later arrested by the police and handed over to them, no visitor has been allowed to see him and four other personnel of the IGP team.

This, according to sources, is based on directives from NDLEA boss, Buba Marwa, that none of the suspects should be allowed to receive visitors until the agency completes investigations into allegations against them.

However, NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, was quoted as saying that the suspects were being fed as and when due and that no one was starving them.

“We allowed Kyari ‘s family members to bring his food based on a

special request,’’ said Babafemi. 

The drug trafficking saga involving disgraced top cop, Abba Kyari, further evolved on Wednesday, with details connecting him directly to barons in Brazil and Ethiopia.

Ethiopia has become a major gateway to drug spread in Africa and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at a point mid-last year placed the country’s national carrier under surveillance for allegedly returning the highest number of caught drug couriers.

The agency released a new set of incriminating information yesterday, as questions were being asked about its officers indicted by the leadership of the Nigerian Police as collaborators in the drug deals.

“According to the police investigation report, ASP James Bawa in his statement to the police revealed that ‘he was called by an informant identified as IK from Brazil who told him that a drug courier will be arriving on board Ethiopian Airlines in Enugu.

“He explained further that a pointer from IK, the Brazil-based informant met with him at about 1420hrs on January 19 outside the airport and showed him a picture of the courier”.

Apply for political appointment, Soludo tells Anambra citizens

Apply for political appointment, Soludo tells Anambra citizens

 

 

Anambra State governor-elect, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo has called on well meaning technocrats willing to serving under his government as political appointees to apply.

This is just as the Joint National Association of Persons with Disabilities (JONAPWD), Anambra State Chapter, appealed to governor-elect to include them as members of his political appointees.

A notice by the Dr Oby Ezekwesili-led transition committee, which was signed on her behalf by the Executive Director of the committee called on those who want to serve under the former CBN chief to apply by visiting the application portal.

The notice of expression of interest read: “A Transition Committee mandated to ensure a seamless transition will among other things; produce an Anambra State Human Resource Databank, which the Governor-Elect will use as a Human Resources tool for recruiting a talented team and volunteers.

“As stated in his Manifesto and repeated during his election campaigns, the Governor-Elect, Professor Chukwuma Soludo has committed to giving everyone who has requisite competencies, capabilities, and relevant valuable contributions to make toward the good governance of Anambra State an opportunity to do so.

“Therefore, to enable an accessible, open, credible, and competitive process, the Governor-Elect has approved the launch of the online system to collect information on available competencies, experiences, and interests through a platform.

The committee said the platform is designed for indigenes of Anambra to volunteer or seek a political appointment, or career in paid public service positions.

“This Human Resources tool offers a transparent and level playing field for talent search and team selection processes consistent with the vision of the Governor-Elect.

“We hope to attract problem-solvers with passion, competence, capacity, and integrity who are interested in joining a team of other selfless public servants to build a livable and prosperous state.”

The committee listed the positions available to include; advisory services, technical assistance, executive positions as commissioners and heads of departments and agencies, membership of commissions and boards of parastatals and agencies; local government administration.

Applicants the notice stated will write and state what problem or problems they can solve for Anambra, how you intend to do so, and what makes them fit and proper for the job.

Meanwhile, Mr Ugochukwu Okeke, State Chairman, JONAPWD, appealed to the governor to include PWDs in the appointments to be made when he received members of the Justice Development and Peace Caritas (JDPC) and the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), in Awka, on Saturday.

Okeke said such inclusion would help them have a voice in government as well as to contribute their quota to the development of the state.

“We appreciate Governor Willie Obiano for the opportunity accorded persons with disabilities by employing about 250 of us into the state civil service and for establishing the disability commission.

“We want this gesture to continue which is why we came up with a charter of demands for the incoming administration. We appeal to Prof. Soludo to consider PWDs as some of his political appointees.

“When we have some of us in government they are in the best position to understand the needs of people like us and push for policies that will better our lives.

“We also want his administration to consider having a data of PWDs in the state, continuous employment of PWDs, the introduction of social protection programmes, housing scheme, scholarship and improved healthcare,” he said.

Okeke also urged political parties to prioritise the total inclusion of PWDs to help them contest during elections and fully participate in political activities.

He appreciated JDPC- Onitsha, for their continual support for persons with disabilities in the state.

Earlier, Mr Alphonsus Nwoye, the Manager, JDPC Onitsha/FCDO project, said the visit was to generate development issues to be used in engaging the incoming administration.

Nwoye said such engagement would deepen inclusive and good governance for sustainable development in Anambra.

He also sought for the partnership to intensify voter and civic education to encourage PWDs to participate in politics ahead of the 2023 general elections.

Ezekiel felicitates with Adejobi, new Police PRO Abuja

Ezekiel felicitates with Adejobi, new Police PRO Abuja

Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Delta State on Security Matters, Comrade Daniel Pere Ezekiel, has congratulated his boyhood friend, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on his appointment as the new Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO Force Headquarters, Abuja.

In a congratatory message released on Tuesday in Warri, and personal signed by himself, Ezekiel said Adejobi was his co-activist while they were in University of lbadan back in the days.

According to the congratatory message, read:

“My Bible informs me that when a man is diligent in his work, he will not only stand before common mortals, but he will dine and wine with Kings,” Ezekiel writes. The following Bible chapter came true in my comrade’s life, yep, you heard me correctly, brother and boyhood. Assuming the role of image maker and spokesperson for the Nigerian police force, BUDDY, prince, was named chief superintendent of police (CSP).

The statement reads: “As a fellow activist at the level of NANS, especially in our primary constituency, University of Ibadan, he was our lead singer any time students had issue with school authority that warrant protest.

“He was our lead singer any time students had issue with school administration that warranted protest as a fellow activist at the level of NANS, especially in our core constituency, University of Ibadan,” the statement continues.

“As a student activist, you helped humanity, and your exploit in your current field continues to carry the torch.”

Because you were a round peg in a square hole during your time as the force image maker in Lagos State, the Nigeria police force under the dynamic leadership of Usman Alkali Baba did not make a mistake in choosing you at this vital time to be the bridge between police and residents.

As you progress in your illustrious career. I pray for more insight, understanding, and grace that transcends all human comprehension. Ma Sallam! Congratulations, OBA LO LA, the statement added.

Just-ln: Former President Jonathan, two others finally picked as Buhari’s successor

Just-ln: Former President Jonathan, two others finally picked as Buhari’s successor

....... As Aso Rock cabals submits three names to president Buhari

Abuja_____ As Aso Rock cabals submits three names to president Muhammadu Buhari, who is billed to quit office in 15-month time, has settled for a list, made up of three names, wherein one would be finally picked as his successor and this is authoritative.

Highly credible source who confided in OpenLife Magazine early Friday said the decision was taken in his lastest foreign trip to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for the 35th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the Africa Union Heads of State and Government.

The Ethiopia meeting was the needed opportunity for Buhari to congregate his inner caucus who, according to OpenLife source, flew into Addis Ababa from different locations and time to ward off any suspicion that may arise from close aides.

The source further affirmed that foreign interests were well represented and presented “Because International community acceptance of Buhari’s choice is very key”, he stated.

Continuing, the source said “Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Adams Oshiomhole and Ogbonnaya Onu, current Minister of Science and Technology were finally picked and Baba was told to set aside political grievance and have a meeting with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdulsalam Abubakar and get their buy-in to minimize rancour as count down begins,” he said.

However, the source added that Buhari has accepted to meet his military colleagues but “Obasanjo may be a hard nut to crack and his acceptance is very important because he is better placed to organize the international leaders for the process to be smooth.”

Lawmaker Pullah, tasks multinationals to protect Niger Delta environment

Lawmaker Pullah, tasks multinationals to protect Niger Delta environment

Francis Tayor

Chairman House Committee oil and Gas and Environment Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Pullah Ekpotuayerin, has tasked multinationals in Niger Delta to ensure adequate protection of the environment by not dumping toxic waste chemicals in the sea and nearby forest to endanger the inhabitants and aquatic creatures.

Ekpotuayerin disclosed this on Monday in Asaba while receiving reports of some community leaders from Burutu, Ughelli South and Warri South West LGA's of the state on companies indiscriminate dumping of wastes materials in parts of their environment and across Niger Delta region, advising the companies to always consider the safety and protection of their host communities' environment as well as lives of aquatic creatures.

Ekpotuayerin who represented the good people of Burutu South Constituency noted, '' I want to say the Delta state House of Assembly  will take some very drastic punitive measures on companies who violate and develop the habit of destroying the environment deliberately by dumping toxic waste materials on the waterways, the high sea and forests. You are not only destroying the lives of the the aquatic creatures, but destroying lives of people living around your operational base. This deliberate act causes adverse economic effect as crops and plants growth is affected as well as fishing activities as waste chemicals cut short lives of aquatic creatures, especially fishes and prawns die in their numbers, making life harsh and unbearable for fishermen/farmers in Niger Delta region.

'' Apart from oil spill which damages the environment massively, companies still deliberately dumping toxic waste materials in high sea, rivers and forest within where they operate. This will be looked into by the committee which I shared and punitive measures shall be taken to curb flagrant abuse and disobedience of safety of the environmental protection in Delta state'' He assured.

The lawmaker also urged multinational oil companies to find way to stop Gas flaring as continued abuse of the environment through massive flaring of Gas endangers the lives of the Niger Delta people, thereby cut short lives span of men and women in the region below 70 years with strange ailments resulting from acidic pollution of oil and Gas in Niger Delta region.

The lawmaker also cautioned on the activities of illegal refinery operators of the adverse health effect posed on the lives of people in the communities as well as the environment.

Egbema is Autonomous kingdom, not under ltsekiri, EYC tells Ariyo to retract false publication

Egbema is Autonomous kingdom, not under ltsekiri, EYC tells Ariyo to retract false publication

The attention of the Youth Council of Egbema Kingdom in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, has been drawn to the wrong interpretation given to the Delta State Government publication of the names of Royal Fathers in the reconstituted Delta State Traditional Rulers Council, in which the name of the Pere of Egbema Kingdom was not included.

In the report released and widely circulated by Chief Ariyo on social media platforms, the Itsekiri group misinterpreted the exclusion of the name of the Egbema Monarch to mean that Ogiame Atuwatse III is allegedly the sole traditional ruler in Warri North Council Area. We strongly protest this gross misinterpretation of Government’s publication for the following reasons:

First, the demise of our former king, HRM G.O.E. Tiemo (JP, AmbP), the Pere of Egbema Kingdom which was announced on December 3, 2020, necessitated the inauguration of a Regency Council headed by High Chief Johnbull Adaun, JP, to steer  the affairs of the kingdom pending the installation of a new traditional ruler (Pere) for the kingdom.

We are still in the process of selecting a traditional ruler to be presented to the State Government for the presentation of Staff of Office. Egbema is an autonomous kingdom, and has never been and will never be under the control of another traditional ruler.

We believe the exclusion of the Pere of Egbema Kingdom on the list of members of the Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers as reconstituted by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, does not mean that the Ogiame Atuwatse III is the sole traditional ruler in Warri North, as erroneously claimed by Chief Ariyo and his Itsekiri group.

Secondly, prior to the demise of the former Pere, he was a member of the State Council of Traditional Rulers, and we believe that when we conclude the process of crowning another Pere, the new Pere of Egbema Kingdom shall be included in the State Council of Traditional Rulers. 

We, therefore, declare the wrong message published in the social media on this issue as an affront on the status and dignity of the ancient kingdom of Egbema people in Warri North LGA.

 We also see the publication as another attempt by a section of Itsekiri nation to fan the embers of disunity and crisis in Warri North where the Ijaw and Itsekiri people have been living side by side in peace over the years.

Consequently, we request our peace loving Governor of Delta State, His Excellency Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to prevail on Chief Ariyo and his Itsekiri group to immediately retract the said publication of wrong interpretation of a well-constituted Council of Traditional Rulers by the State Government.

King Couple has no hand in Ogbe-ljoh election, Omare was disqualified by ELECO_ Sylvester

King Couple has no hand in Ogbe-ljoh election, Omare was disqualified by ELECO_ Sylvester 

Francis Tayor

The Chairman Ogbe-Ijoh Community Electoral Committee, Chief Sylvester Tiebebedigha has debunked report and clarified the air that HRM. King Couple Oromoni Mobeni lll, has no hand in the just concluded Ogbe-ljoh Community Governing Council Chairmanship election, adding that his electoral umpire disqualified Chief. David Omare due to his gross violatiion of the community constitution.

He stressed that the allegations levelled against His Royal Majesty Couple Oromoni of intruding into the Ogbe-ljoh Governing Council election is false and blantard lies from the pit of hell, urging the general public to disregard the story.

Chief Tiebebedigha, disclosed this to the press on Wednesday 9th February, 2022, in Warri while reacting to the petition and media report intended to rubish the hard earned reputation of the Ogbe-Ijoh monarch by some aggrieved persons who sent an open letter to the Delta state governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, urging him to intervene into the Ogbe-Ijoh community chairmanship matter.

The Ogbe-ljoh Community ELECO Chairman stated that his led committee disqualified David Omare because he violated the constitutional provisions chapter two ( 11) section ten (10), subsection five (5) which states that '' For the purpose of an election into the Governing Council, a person cannot aspire for any position outside the quarter where he/she reside. David Omare violated on that portion of the constitution. David Omare was disqualified because he first aspire to contest in Ikiandumu and he lost out, then he came to Oturubiri quarters to recontest. That is dual registration based on  which my committee screened him out and recommended another qualified person from the same Oturubiri quarter in the person of Chief Victor Akposeseye Okiri as the selected candidates of Ogbe-Ijoh Warri Kingdom as stipulated in the Ogbe-Ijoh constitution 2003/2015 as amended (quarter rotation)"' He said.

According to him, said: " Even in Nigeria circular  elections, an electorate cannot register in two different polling units at a time and vote concurrently. Such electorate will be automatically disqualified by the electoral umpire or the voters machine during election process. The case of David Omare can be likened to that scenario l just cited above. He double crossed the Ogbe-ljoh community constitution, hence his disqualification became imperative, "Sylvester noted.

The ELECO Chairman went further to condemned earlier media report following a false petition by aggrieved persons, accusing the monarch of Ogbe-Ijoh for choosing chairman for the community, thereby, setting the community on fire.

He appealed to the public to disregard such negative reports against the reverend monarch over the Ogbe-Ijoh community chairmanship election, the statement added.

Hon. Pullah charges Burutu politicians to be tolerant, show love

Hon. Pullah charges Burutu politicians to be tolerant, show love 

Member Delta state house of Assembly from Burutu South constituency, Hon. Pullah Ekpotuayerin has tasked politicians in Burutu local government area to be tolerant and exhibit spirit of good sportsmanship with  love ahead of 2023 general polls.

Hon. Pullah disclosed this at the weekend while hosting some journalists at his residence in Warri, said '' We need to be tolerant and show love to one another. Elections will come and go. But our family ties and friendship will remain forever..

'' I can see that the  political atmosphere at the early part of 2022 in Burutu LGA is getting quite tense with various groups springing up with press statements and social media comments, making it  quite serious ahead of 2023 general polls'' he noted.

The lawmaker who is the chairman House committee on Oil and Gas as well as environment in the state house of Assembly said that power belongs to God and nobody can implant himself on the will of the people and God, advising aspirants and their supporters to play politics with the spirit of sportsmanship where both losers and winners embrace each other.

He revealed that he is still consulting whether he would seek for second tenure or not. '' But  my second tenure campaign cannot come up now. I am still the lawmaker representing the good people of Burutu South, it will be too hasty now to declare my ambition at the early part of the year. But you must understand that if my people want me to return, who am I to say no. I am just a messenger sent by my people to serve them on lawmaking and again to draw development to the people through our amiable Delta state governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, a man who is detribalized and visionary leader, taking Delta state to the next level.

'' Well of course, I have received several groups, high Burutu personalities have been urging me to go for my second tenure to continue my good works in the Delta state House of Assembly. 

''You know the Nigerian constitution permits as many tenures you can as far as your people are comfortable and happy with you.

'' My people are happy with my leadership and that is my greatest joy as a lawmaker. But to answer you, I am still consulting' ' He said.
