Maiden’s Cross (Epilogue)
Anike woke up the day after her wedding and immediately realized she was in bed alone. She felt the panic rising somewhere in the pit of her stomach. Where is my husband? She wondered. Maybe he already hates being married to me and has bolted. She clumsily jumped out of bed and pulled her nightgown around her. She tied the belt while her feet found her fluffy slippers. Just then, the bedroom door opened and Stephan walked in bearing a tray. Anike almost collapsed with relief when she saw him.
‘Good morning, iyawo.’ Stephan said with a boyish grin. ‘Were you planning on escape?’
Anike threw her head back and laughed. ‘I thought you bolted.’
‘What? Not in a million years.’ He gave her a peck on the forehead before dropping his tray on the bedside stool. ‘Breakfast in bed for Mrs. Rossi.’
THE MYSTERY WAR (Dedicated to Chibok Girls)
We had sailed in the ship collectively
Until you came in tempest and liberate shipwreck
With your civilian uniform of rescue
Holding the Key to our eternal jail
Irrigating our rivers to your subsistence farm
Impregnating our dreams on the palm trees
In the night you turned to mosquitoes of our bed
In the morning we waked in grief malaria
We have fought the unbrotherly War
Bringing glory at noon but our War is with us
The zigzag line run across our heads
We remain circled in afflictions
When is dawn in bundle, we wail in bondage
Perusing the pamphlet;
That Skales Of Yesterday Is Worth Over N200Million Now
Remember Skales? The artiste who got booted off EME and left to wander in the swamp of irrelevance? Yes, that Skales is reportedly worth about N200Million naira now.
The Rapper c*m Singer seems to have finally gotten a bit more push towards that Grammy he has since been heading for.
Skales whose real names are Raoul Njeng-Njeng got snatched up recently by Baseline Music in a mouth-watering deal that’s estimated to cost about N200million.
The deal includes a house, a new car, cash advance, videos and promotion of his album that will drop in November.
The label which is fronted by industry heavyweight, Howie T promises to change Skales’ lifestyle.
“I cannot give you any specific figure because we don’t want other artistes to start running to us, however what I can tell you is that the deal is worth hundreds of millions.
It includes his new car, new house and total lifestyle package. We are changing his whole lifestyle,” Howie T confirmed to the NET.
He further added, “Skales will be at the NEA awards in New York at the end of the month, after that he’s going to London for a concert, and then to Canada on a tour, [then] he’ll drop his album in November.
So you see it’s a total package, we don’t want to create any form of distraction by revealing any figures, but trust me it’s a huge deal, it’s about the biggest deal in the industry at the moment.”
Baseline is reportedly owned by one of Kessington Adebutu’s sons.
It’s ran by Howie T and Dipo Abdul of KISS Group.

With Ebola and Death from Liberia
SimonKolawole Live! By Simon Kolawole, Email: simon.kolawole@thisdaylive.com, sms: 0805 500 1961
There is something about us, Nigerians, that is quite difficult to understand, much less explain. For one, we think we are unique and completely different from the rest of the world. After all, we don’t suffer earthquakes or landslides, neither do we experience Tsunamis or hurricanes. So, we think we are invincible. For instance, in March 2014, when the first case of Ebola virus disease was reported in Guinea, I guess our initial response was: “E no concern us.” By simple logic, we should know that Guinea is within our region, the West African sub-region. With free trade and free movement among ECOWAS countries, the possibility of transporting the virus across border was very high. For whatever reason, we thought “e no concern us.”
Then the disease spread to Sierra Leone and Liberia. The infections and death toll were rapidly increasingly. We read it in newspapers. We watched it on TV. At no time did I hear of any pre-emptive measure being taken to prevent Nigeria and Nigerians from the virus, which kills mercilessly and swiftly. We probably thought it is Liberia’s problem. We could say Guinea was far away. We could say Nigeria had no direct links or interaction with the Francophone country and its citizens. But the moment the virus made an entry into Sierra Leone and Liberia, we needed to be worried and act quickly - given that we have direct air links with those countries. But “e no concern us”.
Although the virus is not airborne, it nonetheless made its way into Nigeria by air. A Liberian-
Ebola: How 50-year-old Nurse and Mother of Four Succumbed to Death After Treating Liberian Weapon of Mass Destruction

Festus Akanbi
Details have emerged about the first Nigerian to die of the deadly Ebola Virus
and how she was infected with the virus. She was a nurse at the
First Consultant Hospital, Obalende, Lagos and was on duty on that
fateful day when Patrick Sawyer, a Liberian, was brought in for
treatment.
The veteran nurse said to be in her 50s, was a mother of four, who lost her husband just recently, making her the breadwinner of her family.

NSA: Boko Haram Threatening Democratic Foundations
NSA, Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (rtd)
By Senator Iroegbu
The National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (rtd)
has said the activities of the Jamaatu Ahlis Sunna Liddaawati Wal Jihad
commonly known as Boko Haram, is threatening the very democratic
foundations and good governance structures of Nigeria.
Dasuki stated this at the weekend in the United States while delivering a keynote address on "Challenges of Governance in an Era of Insurgency" at the Nigeria Security Summit, themed: Insecurity, Nigeria and Beyond, organised by Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
Dasuki stated this at the weekend in the United States while delivering a keynote address on "Challenges of Governance in an Era of Insurgency" at the Nigeria Security Summit, themed: Insecurity, Nigeria and Beyond, organised by Harvard University’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
He said that the terrorists strive not only to dismantle democratic
structures, but to prevent the provision of state services, such as
health, education, commerce and security.
He also disclosed that "their activities have forced thousands to flee their homes, jobs and communities, pushing them into poverty."

Stressing the need to understand the effects of insurgency on
governance, he noted the additional challenges leaders face in their bid
to deliver on their promises to citizens.
According to the NSA, one very glaring consequence of insurgency was
that all other governance issues become subordinate to security
considerations.
He said: "This consumed both time and energy on the part of the general public and the government in particular.
He said: "This consumed both time and energy on the part of the general public and the government in particular.
"A central casualty of the insurgency was that government had to divert
scarce resources that could better support development needs to
security issues."
Dasuki explained that before the onset of Boko Haram, many foreign partners of Nigeria were mainly interested in governance issues, as it relates to corruption, followed by concern about the conduct of free, fair and credible elections.
Dasuki explained that before the onset of Boko Haram, many foreign partners of Nigeria were mainly interested in governance issues, as it relates to corruption, followed by concern about the conduct of free, fair and credible elections.
He lamented that currently, the pressure on Nigeria and the main focus
of foreign intervention, especially from foreign governments is how to
tackle insurgency.
Consequently, he added, assistance from donor countries is slowly
shifting from economic issues to security issues which necessitates that
the relationship between Nigeria and many countries, including her
neighbours, which used to be dominated by trade and technical
cooperation have been replaced by security considerations.
"The insurgency has re-shaped and redefined the classification of Nigeria in many peoples’ minds all over the world.
“The country’s name is now being mentioned along with those of other
countries that have had long standing terrorism challenges. Ordinary
Nigerians have also redefined their views of the security situation in
the country," he said.
According to him, the issues that used to agitate the minds of the
people, in the immediate past, such as armed robbery and kidnapping have
been downgraded given the scale of destruction and devastation caused
by Boko Haram’s indiscriminate targeting of civilians.
Dasuki has however emphasised that "the ability to adapt to this new environment (of insurgency) while staying focused on real gains (of democracy and good governance) will be key to government’s success."
Dasuki has however emphasised that "the ability to adapt to this new environment (of insurgency) while staying focused on real gains (of democracy and good governance) will be key to government’s success."
He went further to catalogue some of the efforts of the Federal
Government to tackle the growing threat of insurgency and terrorism in
the country, especially the through Terrorism Prevention (Amendment) Act
2013, "significant progress has been made.
"It has allowed us to not only define terrorism, but block avenues of
financing for their activities while putting in place structures to deal
with our current threats,” he said.
Dasuki also noted that through the establishment of a Counter Terrorism Centre and, working with key stakeholders, "we have developed a National Counter Terrorism Strategy (NACTEST)."
Dasuki also noted that through the establishment of a Counter Terrorism Centre and, working with key stakeholders, "we have developed a National Counter Terrorism Strategy (NACTEST)."
He explained that NACTEST is new and is the first major attempt by the
government of Nigeria to holistically address the terror attacks that
are being perpetrated by violent extremists.
As a sub-set of the overarching National Security Strategy, he said, it holds a strong promise for Nigerians and seeks to re-engage a stakeholder population that is losing or may have lost faith in on-going efforts aimed at addressing threats.
As a sub-set of the overarching National Security Strategy, he said, it holds a strong promise for Nigerians and seeks to re-engage a stakeholder population that is losing or may have lost faith in on-going efforts aimed at addressing threats.
According to him, the strategy explains what organisations and
individuals can do to help in its implementation in order to reduce the
risks and ensure that people go about their lives freely and with
confidence.
He said: "The NACTEST is organised around five streams, each with key
objectives and indicators. FORESTALL; to stop people becoming terrorists
or supporting attacks. SECURE; strengthen protection capacity against
terrorist attacks.
"IDENTIFY; pre-empt through detection, early warning and ensuring that
terrorist acts are properly investigated. PREPARE; to mitigate the
impact of terrorist attacks by building resilience and IMPLEMENT; a
framework for the mobilization of a coordinate cross government effort."
He said that 17 Ministries and 27 Departments and Agencies of the
Federal Government are involved in the implementation of the new
strategy.
The NSA, however, said that in order to achieve the objectives of
NACTEST, prevent radicalisation and build community resilience, a Soft
Approach to counter-terrorism was designed which has resulted in
Nigeria’s Countering Violent Extremism Program involving local
governments, state governments, civil society organisations and the
private sector.
Also, Mr Robert Rotberg, while delivering a paper on "Fixing Nigeria's
Leadership and Governance Problems Will Assist the Battle against Boko
Haram" warned that "Nigeria is as close to being a failed state as it
has ever been."
Rotberg said that failure to provide basic services like security,
schooling and medical clinics amongst others in large sections of the
nation reflects weak if not poor governance.
He listed five categories of governance including security and safety,
rule of law and transparency, participation and respect for human
rights, sustainable economic opportunity, and the provision of human
development (education, health, etc.).
"Nigeria clearly does poorly in the first of those categories, very
poorly in the second, not well in the third, badly in the fourth
(especially in the failure to provide power, roads, and rail), and
rather not so well in the fifth.
"All of these long time weaknesses of governance, leading to state failure, have been exacerbated under President Goodluck Jonathan," he said.
According to him, to defeat a disciplined and fanatical insurgency like
the one waged by Boko Haram, inspired by some kind of ideological
fervour, disciplined leadership is fundamental.
"Without such leadership the security forces are faced with serious morale problems,” he insisted.
"Without such leadership the security forces are faced with serious morale problems,” he insisted.
He said that "victory over Boko Haram is only possible if President
Jonathan makes such a victory a national cause and if he and his close
followers find a way to strengthen the legitimacy of the state and of
key state institutions such as the military.
"This would mean Jonathan demonstrating a real belief in the integrity
of the nation, casting aside party and ethnic considerations, and
showing that he really is the leader of all Nigerians, not just
southerners, Christians, or the denizens of Abuja.
"Can President Jonathan rise to such heights of good leadership? Or
should we even expect him to be able to aspire to effective leadership
given Nigeria’s many frailties and some of its structural deficits and
difficulties?
"Given the extent to which Boko Haram has made mockery of Nigeria’s
established institutions, including the military, it is essential that
Boko Haram be stopped now, not after Nigeria has elected a new leader.
For all of his weaknesses, this is Jonathan’s test of strength.”

Police Arrests 19-Year-Old For Rap!ng Nursing Mother
The police in Edo state have arrested a 19-year old man for raping a 24-year old woman said to be a nursing mother.
The suspect, Peter Braimoh was said to have been arrested in Agenebode in Etsako local government area of the state.
Braimoh reportedly gained entry into the victims house at about 4am, coming in through the window as her husband was not around.
Vanguard reports:
On gaining entrance into the house, he ordered the woman to undress and allow him make love to her or her little baby will be shot dead.
But while the victim was pleading to the suspect to take whatever valuable in the room and leave her alone, the suspect was said to have gone for the little baby and turned him upside down, forcing the mother to her kneels as she begged the suspect to spare the life of the baby.
Following the persistent threat, the nursing mother agreed to the suspect’s advances and she was r***d by the suspect. However, after the incident the suspect escaped but the matter was reported to the police Division in Agenebode.
The police swung into action and the suspect was trailed to an undisclosed location where he was arrested. The Police in Agenebode transferred the case to the State Police headquarters in Benin City on Sunday, August 3, 2014.
The suspect who spoke to newsmen at the state Police Command attributed his action to the handiwork of the devil and appealed for mercy from the government.
He said, “ the devil pushed me to go and make love to her because I have been seeing her. I don’t know when and how it happened, I am only appealing that they should forgive me I will not try such thing again in my life”.
However, the victim who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital, appealed to the police to investigate the matter and prosecute the suspect. Edo state Police Commissioner, Foluso Adebanjo assured that the matter would be charged to court after investigation.
Bukola Saraki Is Excited At Aregbesola’s Win [Read his statement]
![bukola saraki Bukola Saraki Is Excited At Aregbesola’s Win [Read his statement]](http://i0.wp.com/www.naijaloaded.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/bukola-saraki.jpg?resize=477%2C274 "Bukola Saraki Is Excited At Aregbesola’s Win [Read his statement]")
Below is a statement from Senator Bukola Saraki congratulating incumbent Governor Rauf Aregbesola on his win at the polls.
In spite of the overwhelming pressure mounted by the unnecessary influx of over 70,000 armed personnel across the state of Osun; the illegal arrest and harassment of opposition members, and; the propaganda from the PDP, the great people of Osun have spoken with their votes.
Osun has decided to give Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola another four year mandate.
I heartily congratulate my brother, Ogbeni Rauf on his sweeping re-election on the people-centered platform of the ALL Progressives Congress (APC).
From every nook and cranny of the State of Osun, people came out en mass to send a clear and loud message: we will not be bullied into submission; we will not cower until we get the change that we rightly deserve; and we will remain united in the firm belief that we can rescue our nation from the failed governance of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Osun has shown those seasonal politicians, that come out few months before election to claim a mandate from the people that no federal might can defeat the will of a powerful people.
I know there are many out there that believe its time for a change but are held back because they believe “federal might” can’t be defeated or the people wish or voice doesn’t count , fellow Nigerians the good people of Osun has shown how that is such a fallacy in today’s Nigeria Despite the clear-cut democratic victory that we have witnessed today, now that the dust has settled, we must get back to building strong precedents for our nation.
I commend Nigerians especially the youth of Osun state, who followed the electoral process all day long to ensure results were not tampered with at any stage of the electoral process. A job well done.
The 2015 General Elections are only months away, therefore, before the single most important democratic contest of our time, we must bring those that choose to trample on the tenets of our democracy to justice. We must begin to investigate the new trend of arresting opposition leaders prior to elections. We must also begin to honestly question the restrictions placed on many of our fundamental Constitutional freedoms when elections come around. Osun is not only a victory for Ogbeni Rauf and the people of his state, it is a victory for the future of this nation.
So, as we celebrate this monumental achievement, I urge Ogbeni Rauf to keep doing the will of his people. I also urge all changemakers, pacesetters, and progressive minded Nigerians to come on board and join us in the battle to reclaim the mandate of our nation.
We can rescue Nigeria, however, like Osun has demonstrated today, we have to work hard and work together. God bless the great people of Osun. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Signed
Bukola Saraki
