"Others are a duplex at Plot 1271 Nike Street Cadastral zone AO5, Maitama District Abuja; a duplex at Phase 1 Unit No. 1 (Villa 1) Palm Springs Gold Estate, Cachez Turkey Projects Limited, Mpape, Abuja; 10 units of one room apartments at 8 Mistrata Street plot 232 Cadastral zone Wuse 11 Abuja; 5 units duplexes at Plot No 1070 Dakibiyu District Cadastral zone B10, Abuja; 16 units service apartments at Plot 1181 Thaba Tseka Crescent, Off IBB Way, Wuse 11, Abuja and 3 units of three bedroom flats at No. 1 Mubi Close, Plot 766. Cadastral Zone A01, Garki, Abuja.The commission, which also attached photographs of some of the properties, said the interim forfeiture order to attach Sylva’s properties was granted by Justice A. R Mohammed on December 28, 2012.

But Sylva in a counter statement yesterday said none of the houses seized by EFCC are his. Below is his statement


Our attention has been drawn to a statement purportedly issued by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), announcing the seizure of a number of property alleged to be owed by Chief Timipre Sylva, former Bayelsa State Governor.

1.  The claims by the EFCC are completely misleading. Not surprisingly, this style is in line with EFCC’s known bully-boy tactics and media hysteria.

2. The houses in question do not belong to Sylva.

3.   Sylva’s property are intact, and fully covered by the order validly issued by Justice M.M. Kolo of the Abuja High Court on 27 December 2012. Sylva had applied to the court for "an interim order of court for the service of the originating process on the respondent to serve as a stay of all actions in respect of the properties - plot no 262, Cadastral Zone A02, Wuse 1, District, Abuja, plot 3192, located within Cadastral zone A06 Maitama District, Abuja, plot 232, Cadastral Zone A07, (No. 8 Mistrata Street; Wuse II, Abuja) - by the respondents, their agents, privies, representative or any other person deriving his/her authority from them; either by sealing off, confiscating, ejecting any person from the properties, trespassing into the properties or doing any other thing how ever so described relating to the said properties pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice."  This application was granted and hearing in the matter is fixed for 04 January 2013.

4. Justice A.R. Mohammed never granted any temporary asset forfeiture order to the EFCC on 21 December 2012. Rather he directed EFCC to put Sylva on notice and the substantive matter is fixed for 10 January 2013.

5. EFCC as a creation of the law cannot be seen to be acting lawlessly, and with impunity.

Asa Asika confims Davido split, set to break new ground

 

Asa Asika is a very well known name in the entertainment industry; in Africa and beyond. He is a hardworking driven young man whose meteoric rise in the entertainment industry is unprecedented.
Identifying his passion for entertainment at a young age and gifted with networking and project management abilities, he honed his skills under the tutelage of his uncle, Obi Asika the Storm 360 CEO for a period of about five years.

At Storm he became involved in all aspects of the business of entertainment and this enabled him understand how best to eventually manage upcoming artists and lead them to stardom. During his time at Storm he worked on the following shows and with the following artistes - The Homecoming with MTN, For The love of music concert with Samsung, Asa at The Palms, eLDee, Ikechukwu, Naeto C, Sasha P, to mention a few.

In an attempt to diversify and become involved in other profitable business opportunities, he forayed into the bar/nightclub industry by becoming involved with the popular club Rehab. His immense drive and popularity contributed to the incredible success of the club, making it one of the most frequented venues in Lagos.


Asa Asika is most probably best known today as the manager of the artiste known as Davido- whose growth from aspiring musician to one of the biggest artists in Nigeria he undoubtedly contributed immeasurably to. Although they have parted ways, it was amicable and they remain friends with a mutual respect for one other.

Asa has since moved onto other projects and is set to break more ground in worldwide showbiz.

Why Some Pastors, Others Sleep Around

 

An article by Ayvaunn Penn at All Christian News talks about why preachers, and everyone else, might choose to sleep around. Of course, not every pastor is a cheater, but we know that there are quite a few cases where this is true.

The researchers talk about the reasons that your spouse might step out, some of which are avoidable. Penn’s article also gives advice from black Christian perspective, which is more complicated than the simple rule which says, “If they cheat, you’re gone.”

She says that in spite of what the experts might say about your relationship, how you address infidelity in your marriage is up to you.

One of the things to keep in mind is that a good way to have a mate who is tempted to cheat is to ignore that person’s needs for emotional and other forms of attention. Not being responsive to the needs of your mate might tempt them to have their needs fulfilled elsewhere. The researchers also say that the creation of emotional distance can cause people to be unfaithful. We would argue that being selective about your mate beforehand can benefit you tremendously. You should spend at least a couple of years observing your mate’s character in a multitude of contexts in order to determine if they have true Christian values or are just talking the talk.

There is also the little issue of technology. Facebook, Twitter, texting and everything else allows people to remain connected over long periods of time and across long distances. This can lead to outcomes that might not have occurred had the connection never been made in the first place. The experts talk about how social media can be the reason for many people to have options they might not have had before. Pastor Carl J. Mimms III, pastor of the Freedom Tabernacle of Praise Church in Indianapolis, once sued his cell phone company for releasing his phone records to his wife, who then confronted him about his cheating in front of both the church and his children. So, these situations can get messy, which is why preachers' wives now have their own reality show.

Ayvaunn Penn says the rest:
It is a harsh truth, but no one is perfect. Not only are fornicators in the pews, they are in the pulpit, too. Many wonder why that is. Well, there are 1,200 psychotherapists, counselors, coaches and other helping professionals, who believe they know the answer, and these specialists comprise Your Tango.com – the leading online organization specializing in love and relationships.

The first thing their specialists say is that sex is not the number one reason for cheating. Although it ranks second, emotional discontentment is actually the number one reason for infidelity among both the ladies and the gents. Fret not, however, because there is a solution for this relationship malady according to Dr. Susan Heitler. She explains:

“While there are many factors that can lead to an extramarital sexual encounter, emotional distance is one that couples can prevent. If there’s been distress, dissension or too much distance, take a marriage ed class to learn how to stay more comfortably connected.”

I’m having hot sex with bored wife next door. How can i Stop?

 

I'm in love with a beautiful woman and she feels the same about me, but she’s twice my age and lives right next door with her husband and son.

I’m 21 and she’s 42. I met her the day I moved back from uni. I haven’t found work so I've ended up back with my parents. It’s not what I planned but it’s cheap.

I was off to the shops when she stopped at her gate and said, “Hi.” My parents had said I was moving back home so she knew who I was. We chatted a while and we clicked straight away. She’s small...
and sweet with big blue eyes and a body I wanted to wrap myself round from the start.

She said she looks after the house and her 10-year-old son but she joked that they don’t see too much of his dad. He works long hours in town and likes to spend weekends shut up in his study or out playing golf. It didn’t sound much of a marriage to me.

I came home one day to find her outside her house in the rain, while she searched through her handbag again and again for her key. My parents were both out at work so of course I invited her in.

I made her some tea and we sat on the sofa and talked. She told me her husband ignores her and she said that she’d leave if she could. She looked really sad and I gave her a hug. It quickly turned into a kiss and then we had hot sex on the floor.

We meet and have sex now as much as we can. We’re deeply in love but I’m worried that I’ve no home and no money for her and her son.

Happy New Year!

 

May 2013 be the beginning of the best years of your life!

Ailing Taraba Governor Danbaba Suntai makes 1st public appearance

 

More than two months after crashing his plane near Yola airport, ailing Taraba State governor, Danbaba Suntai, has made his first public appearance...not physically but in a photo recently released by people in his administration which shows him carrying one of the twins his wife delivered December 6th.

The photo was taken in the restaurant of a German hospital where the governor has been receiving treatment for multiple fractures following the plane crash.

Some people feel that the photos were released to show the governor was doing well and prevent his deputy, Garba Umara, who is now acting Governor, from being sworn in as governor after some media sites claimed Suntai had suffered severe brain damage following the crash.

FG to procure 10 million handsets worth N60billion for farmers

 

The Federal Government is to spend about N60 billion to procure 10million telephone handsets from China and the US for free distribution to rural farmers across the country.

The Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Mrs Ibukun Odusote, said the handsets would be made available to the farmers in the first quarter of this year.

She said the programme is aimed at establishing direct electronic communication between the government and farmers on agricultural matters, adding that the beneficiaries would be “women and youths” in rural areas.

“The handsets will be the tools with which to communicate with the farmers in the rural areas, deep deep into the interiors so that we will be able to communicate with them even in the hinterlands.”

Jeez, this country! N60billion to buy handsets? What are they buying, BlackBerry Porsche phones? Lol. And did the farmers say that their problem is a mobile phone? I don't understand this our government...

TB Joshua's 2013 predictions

 

For those of you who are into predictions. Here's another one from Prophet T. B. Joshua. He has released his seven predictions for 2013. See it below...

1. A year of surprises – I am seeing many great, famous, popular and rich men and politicians will become helpless and in need of help in matters of sickness, disease, finances, death, etc. One of the causes: They have failed to reward those who helped them to succeed. This is the year of judgment, especially for politicians who use youth to support their political ambitions without reward after winning power. Tell your neighbour: Reward those who help you succeed now.
