Herdsmen: ‘Your Statement is Very Inimical to The Corporate Existence of Nigeria’- Ondo State Govt Hits Back at Garba Shehu

The Ondo State Government has reacted to the statement issued by presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, in which he condemned the state Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, for giving a seven-day ultimatum to herdsmen to leave forest reserves in the state.

 Garba in a statement released on Tuesday, January 19, kicked against the ultimatum and stated that the governor being a senior lawyer should know better than unilaterally expelling thousands of herders who have lived all their lives in the state. Read here.

In a swift reaction, the Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, in a statement released, said Nigeria’s unity is under threat because the President Buhari-led administration is emotionally attached to Fulani herdsmen. The state government clarified that its directive was for the herdsmen who are not registered to vacate the forest reserves and not for them to leave the state as stated by Garba Shehu.

The state government averred that Shehu’s comment was inimical to the existence of Nigeria and that it stated “unambiguously, the position of the Federal Government.

The statement from the state government reads in part;

“The Ondo State Government did not ask Fulani to leave the state. The governor said herdsmen who are unregistered should leave our forests. The statement from Garba Shehu is brazen display of emotional attachments and it’s very inimical to the corporate existence of Nigeria.

We need clearly defined actions on the part of the Federal Government to decimate the erroneous impression that the inspiration of these criminal elements masquerading as herdsmen is that of power. Our unity is threatened, no doubt.

Shehu’s statement states in a breath that the governor fights crime with passion while it is prevaricating on the atrocities. The question is, are the herdsmen who are perpetrating murder, kidnapping and robbery more important than government and even the Federal Government in this case?

Ethnic nationality and activism on the part of anyone hiding under the Presidency or federal government is an ill wind.”

EPL: Key Battles in Liverpool, Man United Top-of-table Clash

When Liverpool and Manchester United clash at Anfield on Sunday, there will be more at stake than just the usual bragging rights.

The bitter rivals are engaged in a battle for the Premier League title, with leaders United sitting three points clear of second-placed Liverpool.

Here is a closer look at three duels – from goals and crosses, to set-pieces, penalty banter, injuries, pressing, high lines, running, possession, scoring late, and conceding early – that will define the vital showdown:

Jordan Henderson vs Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes has played a major role in transforming Manchester United from also-rans to title contenders.

Widely credited with reviving United with his fierce will to win and positive attitude, as well as his classy performances, the Portugal playmaker’s next mission is to stamp his authority on the biggest game of his time with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.

Fernandes, signed from Sporting Lisbon last January, will head to Anfield as the first star to win the Premier League Player of the Month award four times in a calendar year after earning the prize for December.

Overall, he has 15 goals and nine assists in all competitions this term, making it 27 goals and 17 assists in 48 United appearances.

No wonder Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is a huge admirer and will task Reds captain Jordan Henderson with subduing the midfielder on Sunday.

“He’s an outstanding player. Before he joined United, we played against Sporting in the USA on the tour and in that game already you could see, ‘Wow!’,” Klopp said.

“He is settled, he is a very influential player for United obviously, involved in a lot of things. So, yeah, a good signing, unfortunately, for United.”

Mohamed Salah vs Eric Bailly

With 17 goals in all competitions this season, Mohamed Salah will pose the biggest threat to United, but the Egypt forward can expect a stern challenge from the revitalised Eric Bailly.

Bailly has struggled for form and fitness throughout his United career, but the Ivory Coast centre-back has been key to their winning streak.

In six games with Bailly in the team, United have won five and drawn once, conceding just three goals.

Harry Maguire looks more comfortable alongside Bailly, whose out-going personality kept his team-mates relaxed during their difficult periods earlier this season.

United manager Solskjaer could also revert to the three-man central defence he has deployed against Liverpool in the past.

Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino are a formidable test for United’s rearguard, although they have gone through a barren patch of late, with Liverpool netting only once in their last three league games.

Fabinho vs Marcus Rashford

Ravaged by injuries to his top centre-backs, Klopp will be forced to deploy Brazil midfielder Fabinho as a makeshift defender once again.

Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez are long-term absentees, while Joel Matip has spent the last week battling to return from the adductor injury the last three games.

Matip has returned to training but if he is not deemed ready then Klopp will have to choose between youngsters Rhys Williams and Nat Phillips to partner Fabinho.

That puts the onus on Fabinho to maintain his solid form at the position, but it won’t be easy against a lively United attack led by Marcus Rashford.

Rashford and Anthony Martial have the pace and poise to hurt Liverpool, while Edinson Cavani’s experience and physical presence make him an intriguing option.

“We know that we can beat anyone, anywhere on any given day, so to go into a game like this feeling that if we play to our best we can win is a good feeling,” Solskjaer said.

“It’s a test and reality check of where we’re really at because we’ve won many, many tight games, scored a few goals in injury time, showed that mentality.”

Styles of play

Goals, shots and through balls – The general narrative appears to suggest United are fortunate to go into this fixture at the summit, or even close to it, but they certainly deserve to be among the higher rungs – ranking second for goals scored and shots on target, behind only Liverpool.
Both sides are also among the most prolific for threading balls between defensive lines, so expect intricate passes or exchanges with runners and breakaway attacks this weekend.
As has been the case for several seasons, Liverpool’s top scorers are Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, while midfield maestro Bruno Fernandes and winger Marcus Rashford lead the way at United this term.

Man Utd score late, both concede early – Rashford’s late winner at Wolves was just the latest example of United striking in the final moments of games this season. They also scored stoppage-time goals to grab points against Southampton and Brighton. The graphic below also shows how they have scored 21 of their 34 goals in the second half, equating to 62 per cent.

That is not the case for Liverpool, who have scored in equal measure during both halves. However, both teams have been prone to conceding early this season.

Klopp’s side have conceded 14 of their 21 goals in the first half – although the majority of these came during the opening eight fixtures and they still managed to secure wins in most of those games.

‘Why I Rejected Fela’s Marriage Proposal’ – Onyeka Onwenu reveals

Veteran Nigerian singer, Onyeka Onwenu has revealed that Music legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti approached her for marriage in the eighties.

Onyeka revealed this in her new autobiography, titled My Father’s Daughter.

She, however, said she rejected Fela’s proposal during her visit to his club because of his other wives.

According to her, she is a possessive lover and did not understand Fela’s love for women.

Narrating how Fela proposed marriage, Onyeka wrote: “The second time I saw Fela was in 1984, a few years after I had returned from the United States. He had just been released from jail.

“He was arrested for attempting to travel with his band for a gig in London with the sum of 1,600 pounds for their hotel accommodation. At the time, carrying any amount of foreign currency was against one of the many decrees promulgated by the Buhari/Idiagbon military junta.

“After he was released from prison, Fela sent a mutual friend, the journalist Onuorah Udenwa who is now a US-based pastor, to bring me to his club. I thought that he probably wanted to thank me for speaking up for him, but that was not it.

“He never even mentioned the article I had written in solidarity with him. Fela wanted to marry me, and I was flattered. I thanked him for the honour of wanting me to become his consort, but I turned him down all the same.”

The music legend added that while she waited at the club to see him, she noticed that his Queen (dancer-wives) had been looking at her with scorn.

“They passed by often, whispering comments about me. They were downright hostile and quite obvious about it.

“I pointed this out to him and told him that I was a possessive lover and would not be able to cope as an appendage to his harem but Fela laughed.”

Operation Tura Takaibango: Military Ambush Boko Haram, Destroy 7 Gun Trucks

The Armed Forces of Nigeria on Saturday said that troops of Operation TURA TAKAIBANGO in conjunction with the Air Task Force Operation LAFIYA DOLE have “effectively destroyed 7 Boko Haram/ISWAP terrorists’ gun trucks and decimated several unconfirmed number of the terrorists when they attempted to attack their location at the outskirts of Marte in Marte Local Government Area of Borno State.”

This was contained in a statement issued by Brigadier General Bernard Onyeuko, Acting Director, Defence Media Operations, on Saturday, January 16, 2021.

According to him, “the gallant troops, based on reliable information about the attack, had positioned themselves in an ambush site where they tactically withdrew to, and awaited the arrival of the terrorists before they opened fire which led to fierce battle that resulted in the successes recorded as indicated above.”

Though the statement was silent on the day of the ambush killing of the terrorists and the destruction and capture of their weapons.

General Onyeuko stated that “the troops are still engaged in pursuit of the fleeing terrorists for further exploitation. Further details of interest to members of the public will be communicated later.”

‘Stop Tagging me on Pages of Petty Feuding Nigerian Crossdressers” - Popular Nigerian Transsexual, Miss Sahhara Warns Fans

Popular Nigerian Transsexual, Miss Sahhara, has asked Nigerians to stop tagging her on the pages of petty feuding Nigerian crossdressers. 

Sahhara’s warning came as Bobrisky and James Brown have been going after each other on social media since Friday, January 15.

In a post shared on Instagram, Miss Sahhara said no one has the monopoly of who can or can’t be a transwoman or a crossdresser in Nigeria. She warned that if the ”little trans girls” in Nigeria don’t stop fighting, she will be forced to start exposing them and their tricks.

See the post below;

I HAVE HAD IT WITH ALL YOUR ANNOYING AS*ES:
This is for Nigerians who can’t differentiate between a crossdresser and a transexual woman!

The picture you are looking at is what some women look like, yes! SOME WOMEN! I know my privilege.

Since trans women are women, there is no difference between a trans woman and a cisgenender woman(‘cisgenender’ is a person who’s identity corresponds with the gender they were assigned at birth).
Don’t start with your #DoYouBleedBullshit

Even though my life history is of a transexual woman, it doesn’t define or limit my womanhood.

A crossdresser is someone who loosely bends their identity by wearing clothings that doesn’t conform to the stringent gender norms imposed by patriarchy.

Crossdressers/transvestites are interchangeable, and are mostly focused on fashion/physical expressions.They don’t live their lives 24/7 or use medicines to enhance their gender.They can revert back to their assigned gender identities when they want.

Transexual people, crossdressers, transvestites are all under the same umbrella terminology called TRANSGENDER!

NO ONE HOLDS THE MONOPOLY ON WHO CAN OR CAN’T BE TRANS! NO ONE SHOULD BE THE GATEKEEPER/ ‘GENDER POLICE’ BY TELLING OTHERS THEY ARE NOT VALID!

That said, I beg you all, to stop tagging me on pages of petty feuding Nigerian crossdressers about who is ‘The Nigerian Queen’Are these banshees really that stupid to fight over that title? HELLO!!..
There’s space for all trans people in Nigeria to coexist.

When one of you is successful, we all gain from the visibility. But recently, that visibility has become increasingly negative.

As amusing & entertaining as their lives maybe, these b*tchiness & catfights are not doing the Nigerian LGBT community any good.
Doing & saying crazy/stupid things in media to remain relevant is undermining the progress/ inclusion we are fighting for.

WARNING: IF ALL YOU LITTLE NIGERIAN TRANS GIRLS DON’T RING YOUR NECKS IN, I MAY BE FORCED TO START EXPOSING ALL YOUR STUPID TRICKS & LIES BY PUBLICLY DEBUNKING ALL YOUR CLAIMS ON MY PAGE!

STOP THIS STUPID DRAMA BY PAINTING OUR COMMUNITY BADLY! Now go back to twerking your padded b*tts! #MotherHasSpoken”.
