26bn Stolen from Ondo State Account at Intercontinental Bank .Gov Mimiko How far ?

Posted by Paul "EFCC" Hawk Adams on July 25, 2010 at 11:11pm

Even the penetrating klieglight of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC in Nigeria has failed to spot the disappeared ₦26 billion belonging to Cocoa and petroleum rich south west state of Ondo. A disturbing allegation has now surfaced that

soft spoken Governor Olusegun Mimiko connived with embattled ex-boss of Intercontinental Bank PLC to empty the State’s account of about ₦26 billion.

Whistle blowers told our sources that EFCC officials who have visited the state at least six times in the last three months often returned to Abuja with a verdict of “nothing incriminating found” after being allegedly, handsomely settled by the officials acting at the behest of Governor Mimiko. “In spite of their compromised reports we know the state lost ₦26 billion as a result of a deal between Mimiko and Erastus Akingbola”..

Sources said that the Ondo missing billions was part of the reason, Mimiko, who had to issue an edict to be addressed as Mr. Governor, made sure Erastus Akingbola was co-opted into the embezzling scheme early in the life of the administration by being appointed as the Pro-Chancellor of the state-owned university, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko. Once Akingbola had allegedly being hurriedly pocketed, it became very smooth to empty the 26 billion naira account that state had with Intercontinental Bank.

Some of the looted funds are suspected to have surfaced in some western countries with the just concluded so-called business visit of Mimiko in the company of his Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Akinyele Ogundipe. They were said to have visited the United States and United Kingdom and Ireland. Some unidentified individuals were said to have met with the Governor alongside Akingbola during one of the meetings.

A prominent Redeemed Christian Church prosperity preacher in Washington D.C. is also being named as one of those providing divine decoy for hiding the looted funds of Ondo State.

Gen. Gausau to resign as NSA boss to face presidency ambition

Posted by Paul "EFCC" Hawk Adams on July 25, 2010 at 11:07pm

Barring any last minute changes, Lt. Gen. Aliyu Gusau rtd, will soon resign his position as National Security Adviser. His exit is to allow him prepare for his presidential campaign. His replacement is not yet known, but presidency sources reveals

that it will certainly not be Sunday Are, the deputy National Security Adviser.

Gasau, one of the most celebrated spymaster, is relying on no other requisite skill to rule Nigeria other than a prophecy given to him and three other friends about two decades ago by an Islamic cleric that all of them would rule country one after the other.

Sources close to the general revealed that an imam had told Gasau that himself, Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, Gen Sani Abacha and Gen Ibrahim Babangida would head the Nigeria government in succession. For his three friends the prophecy came true as predicted. But the presidency thus far has eluded the spymaster.

His last attempt at the presidency was in 2007, when President Obasanjo sent Nuhu Ribadu led EFCC after major contender thus paving way for only pretenders..

Naija October Ist Gbedu :Lawmakers Upgrade Expenses to 17billion round figure. Rich country Great Criminals

Posted by Paul "EFCC" Hawk Adams on July 25, 2010 at 11:00pm

In a bizarre move, the National Assembly which previously criticised the budget for the celebration of Nigeria's 50th independence anniversary, calling it excessive, has turned round to approve a figure that is N7 billion more than the Presidency had requested..

The President had initially asked for N16.4 billion for the anniversary but later reviewed it downwards to N9.48 billion following severe criticisms from the public, civil society groups and even the lawmakers.

When the request for N16.4billion was turned down on July 7 and returned to the Presidency, President Goodluck Jonathan scaled down the request to N9.48 billion in a revised supplementary budget. However, the lawmakers have now approved N17.195 billion, an excess of about N7.715 billion for the anniversary.

Assembly bonanza

In approving the new revised budget, the national assembly accommodated the additions under the capital expenditure budgeted for the ministry of the Federal Capital Territory and the ministry of aviation.

For instance, the president had requested only N97 million for the ministry of Federal Capital Territory for the replacement of the carpets in the International Conference Centre, but the lawmakers ended up approving N3.8 billion for the ministry. This is N2.83 billion above what was requested.

Also, the Aviation ministry which had tendered a N2.25 billion request, out of which N1 billion will be used for the renovation of the Abuja airport, N1 billion for the provision of additional parking and N250 million to buy equipment for safe aircraft parking at five airports, it got an approval of N7.135 billion from the lawmakers.

The addition to the ministry's request was in excess of N4.885 billion.

Tight-lips

Unlike the original budget proposal sent to the national assembly by the executive, which had detailed explanation for each allocation, the budget as approved by the lawmakers had no details, and was arranged in lump sums for subheads only.

Both secretariats of the House and Senate committees on appropriation which handled the computation of the budget denied any knowledge of the details saying they believe details of the approvals will be made available in future.

Also, Ayo Adeseun, chairman of the House of Representatives committee on appropriation, said he will offer explanations on a future date. Mr. Adeseun who was reacting to questions said he will need to consult the records before offering the needed explanation.

However, Iyiola Omisore, the chairman of senate committee on appropriation did not reply to enquiries nor returned calls.

In addition to the N7.715 billion excess made to the revised anniversary budget, every other fund requested by the president for the anniversary was approved as requested.

The designing and hosting of the Nigeria @ 50 website for 2 years will still cost N6 million, anniversary Logo- N30 million, and anniversary parade including march past, fleet review, aerial display - N950 million.

The ministry of foreign affairs plans to use N600 million to organise celebrations for Nigerian missions abroad and the information and communication ministry's plan to use N1 billion to insert special reports on Nigeria in local and international media were also approved.

The women affairs ministry budget of N105 million for seminars for women and children and 50th anniversary party for 1000 children were also approved as requested.

Frivolous and extravagant

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had in criticising the anniversary budget described it as "wasteful and insensitive."

The NLC spokesperson, Onah Iduh, said considering that the mass misery and poverty in the country has been made worse with the prevailing cash squeeze due to the global economic crisis, the over N10 billion budgeted for the anniversary was "very frivolous and extravagant.''

He said, "As far as the NLC is concerned our leaders must realise that the logic, essence and philosophy of nationhood is purely the welfare and security of citizens through humanitarian, progressive and egalitarian ideals enforced through the instrumentality of government. These are fundamental obligations that the Nigerian political leadership has abdicated in the past 50 years."

However, the Minister of Finance, Olusegun Aganga, while defending the budget said the public perception that the money was wasteful amid pressing economic problems, was wrong because it was tied to capital expenditure.

He had said, "We just tied them to the anniversary budget to make things faster. We are renovating Lagos and Abuja airports, for example. Both airports should measure up to international standards normally. We are doing that and putting in place standard security systems so that the airports will be up to standard. These are places people will visit first. There are many other beneficial projects tied to this budget.

"Rather than fault the budget, people should ask, what the money is being spent on?''

KINGDOM PROMOTERS

Posted by Chika Ilonwa on July 25, 2010 at 9:05pm

Jesus knew He couldn’t remain in Galilee; He had to promote the Kingdom of God in the other neighboring cities of His day. This was why in Luke 4:43-44, He said; ” I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for therefore am I sent“

Today, we are the promoters of God’s Kingdom on the face of the earth. This is our mission, to promote Jesus every day, everywhere. Just as Jesus was sent of God, we also have been sent. This means that we can also make the kind of impact He made on earth! This is important because it’s only this kind of impact that can change the world.

Promoting God’s kingdom is our responsibility on earth; the governments of nations will not do it for us. God did not send Jesus to become a politician, musician, etc; He sent Jesus into the world to do His will, which was to seek and save the lost. Likewise, we are in the world, but we’ve been called to save the world with the Gospel. However, some Christians neglect this responsibility and have stopped doing the things of God. They’ve stopped promoting the kingdom of God, and as a result, their lives to have stopped moving forward.

Don’t be found doing nothing for God. Don’t let your profession be a hindrance to your work for God. Some would rather please their boss or their spouse than please God. No, we’ve been called differently. Each one of us will give account to God of our responsibility to the Gospel. Don’t wait. Don’t stop. Don’t be distracted. Don’t lose the vision of Jesus. Don’t lose the message that God has given you. Let’s keep the work going; let’s promote the kingdom of God on earth. If you realize that you’ve stopped promoting the Kingdom as you ought to, it’s to make the necessary readjustments and let the zeal of God consume you once again.

Abducted girl in abuja still missing Group petitions agency

Posted by 9jabook.com webmadam on July 25, 2010 at 8:17pm

Victims of Persecutions, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), has called on the National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Person and Other Related Matters (NAPTIP) to investigate the alleged abduction of a young girl in Abuja...

In a petition to NAPTIP, the director general of the organisation, Chukwuma-Machukwu Ume, alleged that the girl's abductors tried to sell her in Afikpo, Ebonyi State. He called for a stronger security network to protect the weak and vulnerable in society.

On July 14th, 2010, 10-year-old Kelechi Alamezi, who was living with her cousin and guardian, Kingsley Uzusu, disappeared in front of her school, Supreme Academy Nursery & Primary School in Mararaba. According to eyewitnesses, the girl said she was waiting for her "Auntie Chichi," a neighbour in their compound, to take her to an unknown destination.

Mr. Uzusu reported the child missing on July 17th, after two days of searching.

Chinyere Vivian Ewua, caught by the police in Afikpo while trying to escape with the little girl, was arrested in connection with the kidnapping. She has been moved from Mararaba Police Station to Lafia Police Command, Nasarawa State, for further questioning.

Governor Gbenga Daniels wife (Funke Daniel) resorts to thuggery attacks UN youth ambassador

Posted by Paul "EFCC" Hawk Adams on July 25, 2010 at 8:00pm

It was
unimaginable, unbelievable, and movie-like, but it turned out to be
true that the wife of the Governor of Ogun State, Mrs. Olufunke Daniel,
stormed my Ijebu Itele country home this morning at exactly 11.00 a.m. in a convoy of over 15 vehicles and Photo Funke Daniel

about 100 policemen and civilians. At the end of her brief perilous visit, my Special Assistant, Mr. Rasheed Adnenaya was left bleeding from his mouth, leg
and head from injuries inflicted upon him by policemen in the convoy,
on the instruction of the governor’s wife.

Around 10.00 a.m.this morning , the former Chief Press Secretary to Otunba Gbenga Daniel (OGD), Wale Adedayo (alias Babalawo) sent a text informing me as
follows: “I got a call this morning, and I am certain they want to take
me out between now and next week. I’ll soon get another sim card. We
will talk properly then, because I will soon move out of Lagos again. Wale Adedayo”

Well, I said to myself that, the text message from Babalawo was a confirmation of the alarm I have raised over one week now (which I
posted on Facebook and which the Governor and his men have not denied
till date). Then, ten minutes later, a voice that I immediately
recognised as Wale’s came on as I picked a call on my phone, but the
line was not his regular line. In a very hasty, cautious and coded
manner he told me my life was at stake and wherever I was, I should
relocate out of Ogun State and that my line has been bugged (of course,
I am aware of my bugged line since early last year); I should buy
another line and call his new line.

Few minutes after that, a call came from a top government source and all the voice said was: “leave town, leave the state now”. About five
minutes after, the king of my town, Oba (Engr) Muftau Kasali called to
say he had an information from authoritative source that the Governor’s
wife was on her way to my house. I told, Moyegeso that I was not
expecting the governor’s wife and that actually, I was not at home.

Around 10 50 a.m., a friend of mine called to say that it seems the Governor of Ogun State had sneaked into Ijebu East LGA through Ijebu Imusin and
now driving towards Itele. I informed the caller that it was the
governor’s wife and probably heding towards my house in Itele. I asked
him to monitor and informed others.

Alas, moments after, the Governor’s wife was at my gate life and direct! She forced herself into my compound along with the people following her,
including the Secretary to the State Government, Mr. Gbemi Onakoya,
Governor’s Liason Officer, Mr. Safiriyu Awobadejo, the illegal
Caretaker Chairman of Ijebu East Local Government, Mr. Michael
Agbolade, several policemen and plaint-cloth security operatives and
her press crew.

These intruders met my Special Assistant, Mr. Rasheed Odunaya, who was on his way out. Mrs. Daniel, fuming with anger, asked him what he was doing in
the compound, and Rasheed replied that he came to fetch water. Mr.
Awobadejo (who claims to be Otunba Atunluse of Itele Ijebu) came
forward and told Mrs Daniel that Rasheed was actually my SA. Mrs.
Daniel then asked the young man, why he told her he came to fetch water
in my coumpound.

The youngman replied that he was only asked what he was doing and not who he was, so he did not feel there was need for introduction. At this
point, two gun-totting policemen decended on my SA, beating and kicking
him in the presence of Mrs. Daniel. She then turned to Mr. Kester
Olaifa, a veteran journalist and media consultant and asked him who he
was and what he was looking for in my compound. Mr. Olaifa introduced
himself as a journalist and Mrs. Daniel retorted: so you are writing
this rubish together? She flung a copy of today’s editon of National
Life tabloid towards Mr. Olaifa and told him that she had no business
with him but with me. Mr. Olaifa was not touched, obviously because of
his old age. The vexed governor’s wife then left a message that she had
declared war with me and that what she was going to do to me would make
whatever her husband has done to me, a child’s play.

The content of National Life she was complaining about was an advertorial published on page four of the tabloid, in which the pictures of Daniel
children at a lavish party abroad were shown (and one of them carrying
a gun) were displayed. The OMO ILU’s position in the advert was that
the first family of Ogun State
cannot be displaying stupendous wealth when state civil servants are
being owed several months’ salaries, allowances and benefits. I share
and stand by that position.

One furstrating thing was that, those who did not witness the act of infamy in Itele this morning, initially said he cannot be true of a first
lady, only to realise that they were dead wrong.

My faith in God remain ubshaking, my believe in the rule of law remain steadfast, but my worry is that, why will a ‘first lady’ take laws into
her hands. Why the attempt in jungle justice? If I was at home, won’t I
have been ‘dealth with’ for beating-up the wife of the governor?

The furious woman also threatened to turn my town, Itele to ashes. It was one Alhaji Zadious who called to inform our king, Moyegeso of this
threeat. When Zadious said he was beside Mrs. Daniel, Kabiyesi asked
that the phone be passsed on to her. Moyegeso tongue-lashed Mrs. Daniel
on her threat on Itele town and for the attempt on my life.

He then informed the first lady that he was at his palace waiting for the worst. Information reaching me as I type this, is that Moyegeso would
be arrested any moment from now. The king and Governor Daniel have not
been good friends, since Oba Moyegeso turned out to be the only Oba in Ogun State who took his staff of office to the wake-keeping and burial ceremonies of the assasinated politician, late Otunba Dipo Dina.

Between April 2, 2009 and now, about eight attempts have been made on my life by Governor Gbenga Daniel. When I escaped from gunmen at Itele on April 2, 2009 around 9.00 a.m.the governor sent a text to his SSG, Mr. Gbemi Onakoya, who is from my local government, to persuade me not to make it a media affair. The SSG
forwarded the text to me unedited and I keep a copy till date.

After the attempt on my life on December 6, 2009 in Abeokuta following my refusal at a security meeting to implicate the Speaker of House of
Reps, Rt. Hon. Dimeji Bankole, Senator Martins Kuye and the Omoilu
Group over the unfortunate incident of December 5, 2009 at Ijebu Ife,
the Inspector General of police on two occasions approved police
protection for me. Till date, Governor Daniel has successfully
prevailed on the Ogun Commissioner of Police not to implement the order
of the IGP.
I cannot underate how far Daniel and his family can go to ‘deal’ with me. What I know is that people need not look further if
I am assassinated today. I have said it severally that Daniel is after
my life. The uncivil act of his wife earlier today, right inside my
compound, is the biggest confirmation.

If I die today, I would have died a noble death on the path of truth and justice. I am not afraid of death because I know that those planning to
kill me can only harm my body; my soul is beyond their reach.
Furthermore, killing me as an act in itself, will not postpone their
day of judgement.

HOW TO ENJOY DATINGS

Posted by kingsley Atanang on July 25, 2010 at 4:20am

Although dating is not rocket science, the experience sometimes feels like science fiction. Often, unrealistic expectations lead to needless dating drama. The following steps provide actual ways to make dating a pleasant experience for both of you.

Steps

Stop complaining. The good ones are not all taken. If they were, you would be sipping mai tais on a beach with your beloved right now.
Be less critical. Are super models breaking down your door begging you for attention? Are moguls whisking you away to Spain for tapas? No? Perhaps, it's time to accept a date simply because someone was lovely enough to ask you.
Use your manners. Please don't be rude. Saying please and thank you will make moms proud and endear you to your date. Promptly returning phone calls, whether or not you plan to accept an invitation, is appropriate and respectful. "Coy" is for the fish.
Step outside of your box. Insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting a different result. In other words, every time you tick off your list of "must haves and can't dos" you limit yourself to dating similar people. Has that worked for you so far?
Have original date ideas at your disposal. These can include physically active dates (such as mountain biking or rock climbing) to creative dates (such as going to a pottery or ballroom dancing class).
Have fun! Even if you're 10 minutes into the worst date ever, a sense of humor goes a long way. Every hideous detail can be used later to regale your friends with laughter.

Tips

Turning someone down with aplomb can happen if you remember three things, say thank you, be clear and use empathy.
Turning a first date into a second date can happen if you remember the following: say thank you; treat someone they way you would like to be treated; and smile.

Warnings

People can be creepy. Stepping out side of your box does not mean ignoring your gut. If a person or a situation doesn't feel right, trust your instinct and move on.

Disgraced Lecturer Video: Edo Governor orders Probe

Posted by Paul "EFCC" Hawk Adams on July 24, 2010 at 10:48pm

Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has ordered the authorities of Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma, to investigate the allegation of sexual harassment against P.O. Otubu, a lecturer in the electrical/electronic department of the state-owned university.

The governor’s order followed a video whcih has been on the internet, which revealed the disgrace faced by Otubu after one Judith Okosun, a 400-level student of mechanical engineering, who he allegedly pestered for sex, set him up.

The video was recorded when Judith reportedly found out that Engineer Otubu had failed her in a course after she forcefully had sex with her. The lecturer later claimed to Judith that he forgot her matriculation number promising to give her a better grade after another opportunity. An enraged Judith then engaged her friends to videotape an encounter with the lecturer, after she reportedly tried in vain to get the university to intervene on her behalf.

Engineer Otubu, a lecturer of Electrical/Electronics teaches a faculty-wide course in the faculty of engineering and technology .

Spokesman for the university, Chris Adama-Igbo, told Saharareporters that following the governor’s order, the registrar of the university had issued queries to both Mr. Otubu and Ms. Okosun.

They have up till Monday, July 26, to respond to the queries, after which they face a panel to be constituted soon by the university..

Mr. Adama-Igbo said until the office of the governor drew the university’s attention to the publication, the institution was not aware of the matter.

He explained that the university does not condone such sharp practices but that students hardly come forward to report lecturers who mistreat them or known to indulge in unethical conducts.

“There is a safeguard against such malpractices. But at times, students fear that they will be stigmatized,” Mr. Adama-Igbo said. “They also fear reprisals from other lecturers, that others might fail them. So they keep their experiences to themselves.”

He disclosed that three years ago, a lecturer who was found guilty of sexual harassment in Ms. Okosun’s mechanical engineering department was dismissed from the university..

Sunday Sermon Study Texts : Useful NOT Useless

Posted by frank adeche Mr Netchurch on July 24, 2010 at 10:32pm

34:14 - Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Psalm 37:27 - Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

Proverbs 3:7 - Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

Galatians 5:24 - And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. .

II. There are two types of vessels for our Master to use
2 Timothy 2:20 - But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

A. Great house = whole estate or group – in this context it refers to the body of believers

B. Vessel = A container, or a person held to be the recipient of something

1. There are vessels of dishonor – fit only for some tasks
2. There are vessels of honor fit for all tasks

C. In order to be used as a vessel of honor, one must purge himself
2 Timothy 2:21 - If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

1. Must be cleansed
Psalm 119:9-11 - 9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. 10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. 11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

2. Must be sanctified – set apart
3. Must be prepared = useful – for every good work

III. We must purge our inner man in order to be vessels fit for the Master’s use
2 Timothy 2:22 - Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

A. Flee youthful lusts
1 Corinthians 6:18 - Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1 Peter 2:11 - Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

B. Follow good things

1. Righteousness = being right
3 John 11 - Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.

2. Faith = firm persuasion
1 Corinthians 13:11-13 - 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

3. Charity = agape love
1 Corinthians 13:1-4 - Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity,.

it profiteth me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

4. Peace = harmonious relationship
James 3:17 - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

5. Follow others that do right
Hebrews 10:25 - Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

IV. We must purge our external relationships in order to be fit for the Master’s use

A. Avoid foolish questions

2 Timothy 2:23 - But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

1. Foolish = "moros" – morally worthless
2. These questions gender strifes

a. Gender = bring forth
b. Strife = fighting, discord, contention, dissention

1 Timothy 6:3-5 - 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.

3. Seek edification, not pointless rambling

1 Timothy 1:4 - Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Titus 3:9 - But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

1 Timothy 4:7 - But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

B. God’s servant must not strive
2 Timothy 2:24 - And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

1. This is a command, not merely advice
2. We do not need to rely on fleshly means to try and accomplish a spiritual outcome
2 Corinthians 10:14 - For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:

James 3:17 - But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

James 1:20 - For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

3. We must be gentle and humble, like Christ
Philippians 2:3-7 - 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

4. We must teach, not argue
5. We must be patient = forbearing and enduring

C. We must instruct with meekness
2 Timothy 2:25-26 - 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they

may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

1. We must be meek = tender and patient
Matthew 11:29-30 - 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

2. We must recognize that those who embrace error actually oppose themselves
Galatians 6:1 - Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Jeremiah 13:15-17 - 15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. 16 Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because the LORD’S flock is carried away captive.

Don Jazzy's babes in Ma Gbe Tana

Posted by NollywoodMohits on July 24, 2010 at 10:07pm

The club the entertainment impresario, Don Jazzy is running tucked inside the prestigious E Centre in Yaba is one of the most patronized lounges in the Mainland at the moment..

The beautiful watering hole which has become a toast of every fun seeker in Lagos, we learnt, always welcomes Mo’Hits crew led by their boss, Don Jazzy mostly on Fridays. Rumour has it that Don Jazzy has been identified with a dirty habit of changing girls like clothe. We gathered that he loves to bring different girls to the VIP lounge of the exotic dance/wine bar on a regular basis.

“He doesn’t repeat the girls. The one for this week will be different from the one for the following week; in fact, all the workers at the wine/dance bar have already tagged him ‘Ma Gbe Tana’ meaning he doesn’t carry yesterday girl.” We were informed.

Naija Housewives,Others In Mad Rush For Sex Videos

Pornographic movie sellers are currently having a good time as more Nigerians especially married women are patronising them..

Though the film sellers were raided late last year by the Lagos State Task Force headed by Supol. Bayo Suleiman, they are back in full force at various bus stops.

The raid even led the task Force to the Alaba International Market where it is believed the films, popularly called blue films, are churned out on a daily basis.

As a result of the raid, the film sellers started selling the materials secretly without displaying them. But recently, they have started displaying the films with their packs exposing uncensored photographs of nude men and women making love.

Some of the films with titles such as Soiled Finger, Blue Edge, Excessive Backyard, Brown Sugar, Thick Asses, American Mapouka, Hairy Jezebels, are conspicuously displayed at various film stands on walk ways and bus stops in Lagos.

Investigation revealed that married women are the highest buyers of the films.

This, according to John Ike, who sells CDs and DVDs under the bridge in Iyana-Ipaja area of Lagos State, South-West Nigeria, is because most of the women are now too scared of losing their husbands who might resort to sleeping outside with younger girls.

Emphasising this fact, Dayo Ojo, who sells such movies around Ayobo area of the state, said that the number of married women who patronise him on a daily basis for such films exceeds that of his other customers.

“I go to Alaba once in two days to buy at least 100 copies of the films and I sell them all. Most of those who visit me are married women. I have a particular customer, a married female banker, who cannot do without buying four CDs weekly.

“She is very fat and always wants the films that feature women of such size and I think she learns from them,” he said.

Egbeda is another area where nude movies are sold openly. A visit to the area revealed the interest such married women have about the movie especially in the evenings when it is getting dark. Here young ladies patronise the sellers too.

Another seller, who did not want his name mentioned confided in P.M.NEWS that they buy the films at between N60 and N80 and then resell each at between N100 and N200.

Asked about the sales, he said, “our customers buy these films more than they buy other films. Ask other film sellers and they would confirm to you what I have just said.”

He said most of his customers are women who only come to buy the film when it is dark.

“I have a customer who told me she was warned by the husband to learn how to ‘do it better’ or he would start going to get it outside.

“Since then, she has not stopped patronising me but I try to test the films and select the ones she would like and when she comes, I just give them to her and she pays me the amount,” he said. Another seller around under the bridge in Ikeja corroborated the claim that married women patronise the film sellers most.

Asked why this was so, he retorted: “Do you want their homes to be taken over by these young girls on the street?

“Our girls these days can send any man running after them after satisfying the man the way their wives would not, and you know that most men behave like Oliver Twist, who keeps asking for more.

“Forget religion, they just want to measure up for their husbands.”

Though most of the women who were seen buying the films declined comment, a few of them, however, said the world had grown past the dark ages where the women are made to remain excessively quiet for fear of being tagged ‘spoilt’.

A woman who gave her name simply as Mrs Ade, told P.M.NEWS that she started buying the films after she almost broke up with her husband who constantly complained that she was not good in bed..

“For almost one year, my husband did not sleep with me. He was always complaining about my inability to work on him.

“After several efforts to change his perception, a friend introduced me to the films. He is now the person asking for it because I give it to him left, right and centre.”Another woman, who did not want her name mentioned, said she decided to start buying sex videos right from the day she caught her husband with her own friend.

“Before now, I was this missionary style person. I did not know the joy in trying to experiment, but when I caught the woman on top of my husband, riding him like a horse, I developed myself before I would become a single parent,” she said.

Though she said she was a Christian, she, however, argued that even marriage counselors advise intending couples on the role of sex in marriage and how the woman should ensure that her husband does not look at other women outside.

“Apart from good food, good sex is a way to reach your husband. Don’t you see how young girls threaten other people’s marriages these days? It is because they have trained themselves in the art.

“I don’t pretend about it. I try the styles I see in the movies with my husband and we have remained happy,” she added.

P.M.NEWS investigation also revealed that the sex video sellers could not bear the ban on display of the films as it resulted in dwindling fortunes for them.

According to some of the sellers who spoke with P.M.NEWS, most of the buyers feel ashamed to ask the sellers if they have such films for sale.

“They rather want people to believe they are responsible and then peruse what you have without finding the courage to ask you for such films,” said Emeka Ibe, a graduate of Mass Communication, who found his way into the business due to lack of job.

He added that when such customers visit the various stands where such movies are displayed, “they just look at them, pick the ones that catch their fancy and pay you. They hardly discuss with you when buying blue films.”

Ibe, like every other seller around the Pen Cinema area of the state, waits till the Task Force officials would have closed from official duties before displaying the materials late in the evening.

Other areas where the films were seen displayed included Abule-Egba, Igando, Ikotun, Obalende and Ketu.

However, when contacted, the head of Task Force, Bayo Suleiman, said though he knows some of the sellers would flout the law by displaying the films, the Task Force would only act if he received a text message stating the actual areas where the sellers publicly display the sex videos.

Sunday Sermon: Useful NOT Useless

Posted by frank adeche Mr Netchurch on July 24, 2010 at 10:00pm

Study Texts Here: http://bit.ly/93gWbz

Definition of the word Purge: To purify from sin, to get rid of something, or to make clean from the inside.

A Word About Recovery
Today as we witness the moral failure of believers — and ministers — the question is often asked,"Can a person ever recover and come back to a place of usefulness with God?"

The answers prevalent in the Body of Christ seem to take two extremes. On one side there are those who pass sentence and decree an absolute no to any prospect of restoration. On the other side there are those who desire to sweep the issue under the rug and give a quick restoration to the fallen minister after a simple apology.
Both extremes are wrong. From the examples we see in the New Testament, believers and Church leaders were restored,but only after a considerable period of time and observation.
Paul believed in restoration for believers,including ministers. He says,"If a man therefore purge himself from these,he shall be a vessel unto honour,sanctified,and meet for the master's use..." (2 Timothy 2:21).
The key word in this scripture is "meet." It is the Greek word euchrestos,and it means "useful." Paul instructed Timothy to teach God's W ord to his congregation so the members would no longer be vessels of dishonor but vessels of honor.
This means,if they would eventually become "useful," they must have been "unuseful" at the time Paul wrote.
We find an example of restoration to the ministry in the life of John Mark. In Acts 13:13,we see that John Mark deserted Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary trip. Later,Barnabas wanted John M ark to join them again (Acts 15:37),but Paul disagreed.
The Bible says,"And the contention was so sharp between them,that they departed asunder..." (verse 39). Restoration of John Mark was such an issue it caused Paul and Barnabas to part from each other and go their separate ways.
However,over a period of many years,Paul watched Mark purge himself and become a vessel of honor. In Second Timothy 4:11,Paul describes Mark as "profitable to me for the ministry." This is the same word euchrestos. Paul now calls Mark "useful" to the Lord’s work.
The word euchrestos is used again in Philemon 11of a runaway slave named Onesimus. He stole money from his master,Philemon,and ran away to Rome. He ended up in prison with Paul and received forgiveness. After quite a long time,he was ready to be released from prison and return to Philemon's home.
Paul sent a letter with him addressed to Philemon. In it,he said that Onesimus was now "profitable" to both Paul and Philemon.
To me,these examples of restoration make the scriptural position clear. If a Gospel deserter and a thief can become useful to God after public failure,there is hope for all of us!

God has given us His W ord and His Holy Spirit to enable us to become "useful" to the ministry once again. W e,too,can cleanse ourselves and become vessels of honor, "meet for the master's use."

SHAN GEORGE: DON’T KNOW WHY MEN DUMP ME, "married" three times before 40

Posted by NollywoodMohits on July 24, 2010 at 9:48pm

Nollywood star actress, Shan George may be beautiful and have a good sense of humour but she is one woman who will not discuss issue of marriage with anybody due to the fact that she has been so unfortunate in that aspect. First, she was Mrs. Nwosisi then she metamorphosed into Mrs. Momoh Osigwe and later to Mrs. Jaiyeola and before one could start to register the latter to her name she switched over to her maiden name again, Ms. George.

She was recently asked why she has been so unfortunate in this regards and she allegedly fumed with rage and responded thus “I don’t know o. sometime I ask myself why it happens like that. I don’t know why my marriages will just collapse like a house that has no solid foundation. Honestly it bothers me, may be I am just unlucky”

While all these things are happening to the ‘Outcast’ actress, a lot of her friends who are so concerned about the way things are going for her, we learnt, advised her to go for spiritual cleansing or deliverance from one of the so called fire-for-fire pastors in town but she allegedly said to have declined and totally rebuffed such an idea. What could be wrong with this ‘mullato’ actress? Only divination can tell!

Saturday Panorama :Sammie Okposo Arrest the True Story ,Lara George gospel artiste of the year

Posted by NollywoodMohits on July 24, 2010 at 3:30am

True story of, one of Africa's leading gospel artistes and Globacom ambassador, Sammie

Okposo’s arrest in

Following the misleading story reported by Evening Express, a Scottish evening paper, on the arrest of one of Africa's leading gospel artistes and Globacom ambassador, Sammie Okposo during his honeymoon in Aberdeen over a racist statement, the artiste and the Nigerians who were present at the scene of the ugly incident have risen to set the records straight.

According to information made available to us by MME (Media & Marketing Experts), Sammie Okposo's PR company and different comments of eye witnesses posted on different websites especially on nairaland.com, Sammie and his newly wedded wife, Ozioma in the company of their friends, Mr and Mrs Efemua, also Nigerians, had gone to a restaurant known as Jimmy Chung's on Aberdeen's Beach Esplanade to attend to their noisy stomachs.

They were said to have arrived at the restaurant at exactly 4.30pm in the evening but were not aware that lunchtime ended at 5pm. One of the attendants, a lady, who some Nigerians described as very violent, announced to them few minutes later that they have to rush their food and leave the restaurant before 5pm or else they will be charged for both lunch and dinner.

At this point, Sammie was already serving the food while the others were sorting out where they would sit.

Witnesses said the Nigerians questioned the attendant. They wondered why she had not informed them when they arrived, saying they would probably have waited till 5pm before settling down in the restaurant.

The argument was said to have attracted the attention of the manager of the restaurant (identified as Ronny Shui Hung Yung), who aggravated the issue the more. Another lady allegedly went ahead to drag Sammie's shirt, ordering him to stop dishing out the food; an act that so many people in the restaurant described as unprofessional and barbaric. But Sammie was said to have taken it easy. “He told her politely that she shouldn't have pulled his shirt. At this point, the manager of the restaurant was already harassing Sammie's wife and the pregnant wife of his friend, Eloho Efemua, who happens to be the younger sister of popular Nigerian actor, Fred Amata.

"When Sammie turned back after the violent attendant pulled his shirt and realised the manager was raising hands and pointing accusing fingers at his wife and the pregnant lady in a very disrespectful and demeaning manner not meant for a gentleman and a service provider, he immediately swung into action and warned the manager in a very hard tone to desist from harassing and accusing his wife and Mrs Efemua after he had been briefed about what happened", a witness told Rhythm and Sounds.This photo Sammie & wife about to wed !

When the manager wouldn't stop but was getting more motivated, we heard that Sammie, who was very shocked and displeased at that point, told the manager that he should make sure his fingers don't touch his wife and that if he is tired of running this kind of restaurant, he should return to his country. Immediately Sammie made this statement, the manager wrote down Sammie's friend's car number and called the police to report a racial statement being made against him.

Having realised he had called the police, Sammie urged his wife including the other couple that they should wait for the police's arrival and thrash out the issue once and for all. It was reported that the police didn't arrive until 30 minutes after the distress call but the couples waited outside the restaurant till they arrived.

What however shocked the people present at scene, we gathered, was that the Scottish Police, as professional as they claimed to be, failed to ask any questions from the two Nigerian couples before taking them to the police station after listening to the restaurant manager. This, we heard, infuriated some Nigerians present at the restaurant and they registered their displeasure with the restaurant management.

Speaking for the first time on the incident, Sammie Okposo told journalists in Lagos who have been eager to hear from him that he is only a victim of circumstance. “It is true they took us to their police station without listening to our own side of the story but we played along with them as good and law abiding citizens of Nigeria. After the court in Aberdeen did a thorough check on me from all the countries I have visited, they said my record is clean and impeccable.

I was released the next day without making any official statements. But if the manager of the restaurant presses the issue further and it results to a court case, my lawyer in Scotland, Michael Munro will handle it. I don't regret my actions for speaking up against bad and rude behaviours from the staff of Jimmy Chung's. I don't regret defending my wife as a true African man,” he said.

Sammie's wife, Ozioma was very sad about the incidence. In her words, “We could afford to go to anywhere in the world for our honeymoon, but we chose to visit Aberdeen because of all the good things we had heard. We have been emotionally, mentally, financially and physically drained by this trip; which brings us to one conclusion: that going to Aberdeen for our honeymoon was the biggest mistake we would ever make in our marriage”.

Okposo was alleged to have caused alarm or distress to Ronny Shui Hung Yung by shouting, swearing and uttering racial remarks at the Aberdeen restaurant. He was also accused of acting in a racially aggravated manner by Scottish Evening Express. Against the ethos of journalism, the paper published the story based on the reports of the restaurant's manager, whose unprofessional conduct has greatly been criticised, without listening to the other party and the eye witnesses.

Sammie Okposo's lawyer in Nigeria revealed that Sammy is going to raise a case of personal harassment and aggravation against the restaurant management and the violation of his human rights by the Aberdeen police. The lawyer is filing a petition to the Nigerian High Commission and United Nations, where he is an ambassador.

One of the comments posted on nairaland.com, based on the experience of the writer at the said restaurant, says “the distasteful, snotty and poor attitude of staff of Jimmy Chung Restaurant resonates in good measure to all of its outlets in the Granite-city of Aberdeen; as if to say it was a management requirement for its staff. The attendants and staff look down their nose at you as if you're a fly in their soup”.

Marvelous Benjy Is Married: Popular dancehall act, Benjamin Ukueje, a.k.a Marvellous Benjy is now married. The wedding took place on July 9, 2010 in Bayelsa State. Speaking on his new status, the once upon a time rave of the moment described being married as one of the greatest things that has ever happened to him. “I'm very happy because I have found someone that truly loves me and I am very grateful to God about it. My attraction to her is divine because it is not something anybody can explain. I love her so much”, he said.

The Ajegunle-breed act with lots of energy-sapping dancing skills however, did not marry a Nigerian. His wife, Vanessa is a Spanish based in London.

The wedding took place at the State Registry where the lovebirds exchanged marital vows. The reception followed immediately and it was well attended by prominent Bayelsa State indigenes.

Marvellous Benjy became a household name after the release of his popular song, 'Suo' under Kennis Music Imprint. But since his fallout with the record label that promoted him massively, little or nothing has been heard about him musically. The talented dancehall act however said he has been working.

Lara George Emerges Gospel Artiste of the Year: Talented leading gospel artiste and award wining vocalist, Lara George is doing us proud.

Last weekend, Lara emerged as the Best Gospel Act of Year 2010 at the City People Entertainment Awards in Lagos. The cheering audience confirmed the fact that it was a well deserved award with a standing ovation for the great vocalist.

And, this may just be the beginning as she is also a nominee for the Best Gospel Act award in Nigeria Entertainment Awards (NEA) coming up in America on September 18, 2010.

Immediately after the awards ceremony, Lara George will proceed on a tour of the USA where her esteemed fans are already waiting for her superlative performances.

16-Year-Old Justin Bieber Drives Diddy's $200,000 Lamborghini...

Posted Thu Jul 22, 2010 1:46pm PDT by Lindsay Robertson in Stop The Presses!

It seems P. Diddy wasn't kidding when he promised Justin Bieber he'd give him the keys to his Lamborghini when the teen pop star turned 16.On Tuesday, Bieber was spotted driving to get some frozen yogurtwith his friend Sean Kingston in Diddy's white Gallardo Spyder. (It'snot clear if Diddy gave it to Bieber for keeps or just for a spin.)

stopthepresses-577767928-1279832724.jpg?ymVakfDDFDaJdu3b

Bieber, who turned 16 on March 1 and passed the driving test soon after, laughed off Diddy's promise, telling People magazine in March, "[Diddy] said when I turn 16 he willgive me his Lamborghini. But we all know Diddy's not going to give mehis Lamborghini, he's all talk."

[Video: How to get Justin's hair]

The white Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder (henceforth affectionately referred to as a "Bieberghini") retails for upwards of $210,000, according to Yahoo! Autos. Lamborghinis have become a sort of go-toluxury vehicle for famous people. Other celebrities who've been known todrive Lamborghinis include Soulja Boy, Kobe Bryant, Bam Margera, BenjiMadden, David Beckham, and Wilmer Valderrama.

Bieber's fro-yo cohort, rapper Sean Kingston, has his own Lamborghini. In 2009, Kingston challenged Bow Wow to a race in their respective "Lambos." Bow Wow caused a bit of a stir in January when he tweeted about driving his Gallardo while "tipsy." He later apologized for the tweet, saying it wasn't a great way to kick off 2010.

Diddy's Lamborghini isn't even the first car Bieber has received as a gift: His mentor, Usher, gave him a Range Rover for his 16th birthday. Maybe Diddy is trying to show up the R&B singer with something flashier.

Their Lambo stroll wasn't the first time Kingston and Bieber have teamed up,of course -- nor the first time they appeared with a fancy car. Checkout the wheels and the Bieber-Kingston duet in the video for "EenieMeenie," a song the two performers co-wrote.

Former Pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Christ Church Parish, Gbagada, Ituah Ighodalo yesterday inaugurated his new assembly at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Photo: Pastor and his lovely wife ibidun
The launch of the new assembly, Trinity House, was witness by a large turnout of members and well wishers.

In his welcome message, Mr. Ighodalo thanked ministers, friends and family, who stood by him during his period of difficulty. “I want to thank all the ministers of God who gave us encouragement in those dark times. May God continue to bless you all.” Mr. Ighodalo last year left his position as Pastor of Christ Church Parish due to controversies over his second marriage to Jumoke Ajayi in 2007. The controversies arose because his first wife was still alive.

He introduced the new church, Trinity House, as a church with a mission to transform the society and the future of generations yet unborn. He said “It is with great pleasure that I welcome you,

in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to Trinity House, a place where children of God of all denominations can gather in fellowship for the propagation and advancement of God’s kingdom here on earth.” Speaking at the inauguration, Pastor Fagboyegun who represented the Ekiti State governor, Olusegun Mimiko, urged Mr Ighodalo to continue in his calling. He said, “We believe in the anointing of God upon your ministry. We believe God that great shall be your destiny. Through God, you will do great things. The government of my state believes in you.”

Other dignitaries at the event included former governor of Ekiti State, Niyi Adebayo, former first lady of Cross River state, Onari Duke, former high commissioner to the United Kingdom, Christopher Kolade, amongst others.

Mr. Ighodalo said he had received tremendous support from Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Church of God saying “I want to thank my General Overseer and his wife, Pastor E.A Adeboye and his wife who said to me, Ituah, in spite of everything, I still believe in you and I want to assure you that I have his full support for that which is happening here tonight.”

Police Discover Illegal Oil Well In Lagos

Posted by Paul "EFCC" Hawk Adams on July 23, 2010 at 4:40am

Police operatives have bust a syndicate, which operates an illegal oil well in Idimu area of Lagos. The syndicate which runs a factory where it dug a well, which it uses in siphoning fuel from the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) pipeline is allegedly headed by one Okonkwo.
The syndicate allegedly dug a well inside the factory located at Diamond Estate, Idimu, where it connected a pipe to the NNPC pipeline.

A police source said the police has been suspecting movements of petrol tankers which were always going and coming out of the factory odd hours.
The police, however, tried to penetrate the company to find out what was happening in the premises but were resisted until a new Divisional Police Officer (DPO) was posted to Idimu Division.

The DPO, Mr. Ambrose Agbedo was said to have personally led a team of detectives to the factory where they discovered a well, securely padlocked. Agbedo who was curious decided to brake the padlock and was shocked at what he and his team saw. The police source said: “The well is filled with fuel. There is a pipe connected from the well to the NNPC pipeline. The same way one fetches water with a bucket from a well, is the same way one fetches fuel from the well. The fuel in the well can serve all the cars in Lagos.”.

Lagos State police spokesman, Mr. Frank Mba, who confirmed the report said: “What we have in the well is not water. What you see is the height of creativity in the criminal world. This is illegal bunkering in more criminalized manner. The syndicate pretends that it was producing furniture polish when it is siphoning fuel from oil pipeline.
The police image maker said he was worried that the action of the suspect might have polluted the water in and around the estate.

He warned residents to be careful about the drinking water sourced from the vicinity. Mba commended the DPO for busting the syndicate and revealed that the kingpin of the syndicate and seven accomplices were in the police net. He described the crime as the height of economic sabotage, adding that the suspects would soon be charged to court.

The alleged kingpin, Okonkwo, 48, told Daily Sun that he was the owner of the factory and the well. He said he noticed that about two months ago, the well was being contaminated with fuel and he decided to lock it up.
He said he reported the contamination to an unidentified NNPC staff, but the man did not take any action. According to him, he was surprised when the police stormed his factory and opened the well and the water in it had turned to fuel.

“I am surprised that the water in my well has turned to fuel. It is a wonder that I can’t explain but I swear to God I didn’t know how it happened,” Okonkwo said.

Homosexual American movie banned in Naija Silverbird quietened by Censors Board move

Posted by NollywoodMohits on July 22, 2010 at 9:02pm

An American gay movie which was supposed to premiere last Friday at the Silverbird Cinemas in Lagos, South West Nigeria, was stopped from being shown by the National Film and Video Censors Board, NFVCB, regulators of the film and video industry in the country.

•A photo scene from the suspended gay movie

The movie, I Love You Phillip Morris, which stars U.S. top actor, Jim Carrey, was postponed four times in the United States before it was finally released in May 2010, two years after it was filmed.

In the semi-gay movie described as obnoxious by European audience, Jim Carrey plays a gay con man who falls in love with his prison cellmate, Ewan McGregor.

last Friday I Love You Phillip Morris was already listed by Silverbird Cinemas and was to be shown in the afternoon when it was suddenly cancelled.

An enraged movie-goer who had come to the Silverbird Galleria in Victoria Island to watch the gay movie was seen yelling at the Silverbird staff who could not explain why the movie was suddenly withdrawn.

“Is it because it is about homosexuality?” he asked, adding “you should remove it from your website then.”

The Censors Board’s Zonal Director in the South West, Mr. Edward Edion, who spoke with our sources on phone yesterday, confirmed the story but denied reports that the movie was banned outright.

According to him, the movie was stopped from being shown last Friday because it had not been properly classified.

“During our screening, we discovered that there was a scene that had to do with homosexuality and as such it was not okay for every member of the public to watch it. That was why we stopped the movie from being shown to enable us reclassify it.

“After its proper classification and with the final decision by our headquarters in Abuja, we’ll know the next step to take,” he said.

Edion, however, disclosed that the previews of the movie were allowed on air because of a special concession given to movie distributors such as Silverbird, Ozone and few others.

He said: “Nigeria is suffering today because movies are made mainly as home videos while the money, all over the world, is in the theatres. That is why we are encouraging even the local movie producers to take their movies to the theatres.”

Written by Bad Santa screenwriters Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the film is a dark comedy based on the true story of Steven Jay Russell (Carrey) who gets sent to prison for insurance fraud, and subsequently falls in love with his cellmate (McGregor).

The movie was first released in Europe and Taiwan. With straight actors playing gay roles being such a trend, the film struggled for years to find its place in U.S. theatres. The movie was to be released in the U.S. by Consolidated Pictures Group. It was filmed in 2008 and was screened at Sundance Film Festival on 18 January 2009.

The following countries and cities have already released the movie: France, Monaco, Russia, Taiwan, Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan, Japan, United Kingdom, Ireland, Philippines, Czech Republic, Romania, Iceland, Italy and recently it premiered in Norway.
