Bianca's Sons joins War over Ojukwu’s will: drags Half-Brothers and OTL to court

• Bianca drags Ikemba’s brothers, company to court

From GEOFREY ANYANWU,Sun News

Two of the sons of the late Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu born to him by his widow, Ambassador Bianca Odumegwu Ojukwu have dragged his siblings to court over the property of Ojukwu Transport Limited (OTL) in their father’s possession. This followed alleged threat of forceful ejection from their No. 29 Oyinkan Abayomi Street, (formerly No. 29 Queens Drive), Ikoyi, Lagos residence by other directors of OTL and the letter by the agent of the company purporting to take over management of the property and others in their late father’s possession.

The duo, Afamefuna and Nwachukwu suing by their next friend and mother, Ambassador Ojukwu in a writ of summons filed by their lawyer, Chris Ezugwu of Faith Attorneys, Dolphin Estate, Lagos in a Lagos High Court in Suit No. LD/1539/12 were claiming a declaration that they “are entitled to the possession and occupation of the property known as No. 29 Oyinkan Abayomi Street, (formerly No. 29 Queens Drive) Ikoyi, Lagos, until the harmonization of the management and administration of the assets of the 1st Defendant (OTL).” Defendants in the suit are Ojukwu Transport Limited, Professor Joseph Ojukwu,

Engr. Emmanuel Ojukwu, Lotanna Putalora Ojukwu, Dr. Patrick Ojukwu, Arc. Edward Ojukwu, Lota Akajiora Ojukwu and Mr. Massey Udegbe (Doing business under the name and style, Massey Udegbe & Company). Also in their claim are “A declaration that the threat of forceful ejection of the claimants from No. 29 Oyinkan Abayomi Street, Ikoyi, Lagos by the defendants is illegal. A declaration that the claimants are entitled to the possession of properties known as: (a) No. 13, Hawksworth Road, Ikoyi (now known as No. 13 Ojora Road, Ikoyi). (b) No. 32A, Commercial Avenue, Yaba, Lagos. (c) No. 30 Gerard Road, Ikoyi, Lagos.

(d) No. 4 Macpherson Avenue, Ikoyi, Lagos; which properties had been under the possession of late Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu – the father of the claimants from the time the properties were released from government acquisition till date. “An order of court restraining the defendants either by themselves, or through their agents or privies from interfering with the claimants’ possession and control of No. 29, Oyinkan Abayomi Street (formerly No. 29 Queens Drive), Ikoyi, Lagos and an order of court restraining the defendants, their agents or privies or assigns from interfering with the claimants’ possession and control of the properties referred to in paragraph ‘three’ above.”

In a 33-paragraph statement of claim by the claimants, Afamefuna and Nwachukwu, which was confirmed in a 35-paragraph statement on oath of claimants’ witness (Bianca), they averred that their father, the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was the son of the late Sir Louis Ojukwu, the founder of the 1st defendant, OTL and that “the late Sir Louis Ojukwu, the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, Bethram Chukwuemeka Obi and the 2nd defendant (Prof. Ojukwu) are the foundation directors and shareholders of the 1st defendant.

They claimed that OTL over the years acquired 14 landed property in Lagos and one Port Harcourt, which were at a time compulsorily acquired by the Federal Government but later released to it following the struggle for the release of the property from acquisition by their father, the late Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu. Furthermore, OTL they claimed acquired eight landed property in the course of its operations over the years, seven in Onitsha and one in Lagos, stressing: “The several landed properties of the 1st defendant enumerated in paragraphs 10 and 11 above and numbering about 25 were separately occupied and/or managed by the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th defendants each of whom assumed possession and control of at least five of such properties.”

They averred that throughout the period their father was “struggling with government for the release of the properties subject matter of this suit and other properties now being controlled by the 2nd – 7th defendants from acquisition, the 2nd – 7th defendants never played any role in the struggle nor contributed financially or otherwise to the realisation of the struggle.”

However, when contacted, the defendants in the suit declined comment but disclosed that their lawyers were on the matter and would make their response known soon. It could be recalled that the late Ikemba had in his will read last week appointed his widow, Ambassador Odumegwu Ojukwu to represent him or appoint who would represent him on the board of OTL, just as he advised in the will that the landed property of OTL except Nnewi Building be shared among directors of the company appropriately.

In the early 80s, Alakija quit her job and went on to study Fashion design in England, returning to Nigeria shortly afterwards to start Supreme Stitches, a premium Nigerian fashion label which catered exclusively to upscale clientele. The business thrived, and Alakija quickly made a tidy fortune selling high-end Nigerian clothing to fashionable wives of military bigwigs and society women.

Oil Prospecting License
In May 1993, Alakija applied for an allocation of an Oil Prospecting License (OPL). The license to explore for oil on a 617,000 acre block – (now referred to as OPL 216) was granted to Alakija’s company, Famfa Limited.

Mr, Wahab Adekola has pleaded with a Lagos Grade ‘A’ Customary Court, sitting in Agege to dissolve his 21-year-old marriage over fetish acts on the part of his estranged wife.Meanwhile, Mrs Abibatu Adekola denied the allegation.

The applicant claimed to have married the second wife after frustrations he suffered in the hands of the respondent. He lamented the secvond wife’s death, with her baby. ” I found love outside my home when I met my new wife. But the woman died with our five months old baby, and I am so sure my senior wife was responsible for it, because she always threatened to kill any woman that associated with me”, Wahab said.

”My wife nags a lot, she is troublesome and always in the mood to fight anybody with me. I did not enjoy myself throughout our staying together. This led me to have girl friends because she did not give me peace of mind at home. I am a true Muslim, I am entitled to more than one wife. ”

Any time she hears that I am going out with any lady, she would locate the lady and threaten to kill her.” He urged the court to dissolve the marriage and grant him custody of their four children. Abibatu , a civil servant, denied the allegations and said that she did not know anything about the death of her rival and her child.

The mother of four of 9, Biodun Sobadan Street, Agidingbi, lkeja, told the court that she loved Wahab, saying she shared any money she made with him. She explained that she contributed to the building of the house built by the husband but said he chased her out. ”We never had any fight, yet I packed out of his house,it was after I left that my senses came up to the reality.

”I know I was charmed by him or one of his girlfriends that wanted him at all costs. ”My husband was a good and loving man when he had nothing, but when he became comfortable, he didn’t not want me again. ”If I had known, I would not have contributed to the building of the house he is staying now with his wife new.

”My husband goes around with anything in skirt, and will sometimes tell me, ‘ that is another woman that will be the mother of mother my children”. She urged the court to dissolve the marriage and grant her custody of the children. “I am ready to leave him, but I want the court to beg him so that he would not kill me”.The court president, Mr Emmanuel Shokunle, adjourned the case till Jan. 21, 2013.

Assaulted By Her Employer, A Female Youth Corps Member Fights Back

Mary Agbo

By Peter NKANGA (Sahara Reporters)

A female National Youth Service Corps member has taken the fight to her employer for allegedly assaulting her and plagiarising her work.

Mary Agbo, 28 has waited for over a month for the first signs of justice for an wrong she says no woman should ever have to face – violence against women in the workplace.

On August 1, 2012, Agbo began her NYSC primary duty with the Garki Gazette, an Abuja-based weekly lifestyle and events publication, located within the premises of Eddy-Vic Hotels on Ahmadu Bello Way, Garki II, Abuja. By August 17, Emmanuel Abanah, the magazine’s publisher and owner of Eddy-Vic Hotels confirmed her as the Editor of the publication “having satisfied preliminary conditions for the job”, he wrote in her letter of engagement.

But on November 1, she filed a complaint at the Garki Police station against Abanah, 35, for allegedly assaulting her after she requested a Performance Certificate, the necessary documentation corps members must obtain from their employers monthly, and mandatorily submit to the NYSC to be entitled to their government allowance. She reported the assault to the NYSC on the same day and asked to be reposted from Garki Gazette citing fear for her life and an unsafe work conditions.

“He slapped me and pushed me, I hit my ear hard on an iron fence by his garden. He started dragging my top (white NYSC vest) and my breast came out,” Agbo told the Police. “He brought out his hand again and slapped me. He called his manager and assistant to send me out of the premises which they did”.

Agbo explained the events of November 1. In the morning while attending her Community Development group meeting, she was advised to submit her PC the same day as NYSC officials would be busy with the new batch of corps members resuming the following week. Back at the office which was locked, both Ada, Abanah’s assistant, and Sharks, the magazine’s production manager advised she call the publisher. After several unanswered calls and an SMS, Abanah alighted from his hotel room rude and shouting at her for disturbing him. As she tried explaining herself, he began beating her in anger, Agbo said.

A medical report from the Asokoro General Hospital signed by Dr. C.N Okoli stated Agbo “presented with generalized body pain, headache, earache, dizziness, and tinge of blood in the right eye”.

The Garki Police went to Abanah’s office that same day, but met his absence. It however became clear he had gone into hiding after he failed to turn up following several other visits to his office and calls inviting him to the station. A warrant for his arrest was subsequently obtained.

Two reasons are at the root of the assault, Agbo says. She had severally asked Abanah to pay her salary and that of the magazine’s contributing journalists being owed months in arrears. This displeased him tremendously. Also, her refusal to concede to her employer’s sexual advances irked him further, she said.

The NYSC at a zonal level launched an investigation. A source within the NYSC who asked not to be named provided the internal report with the findings from the investigation. Though Abanah had refused to see the investigating officer, staff of Garki Gazette and Eddy-Vic Hotels confided “he [Abanah] has been treating them the same that he pays them salary whenever he feels like and they do not have the right to ask him”.

“Based on the information about this man, shows that he is a very irresponsible man,” The NYSC investigating officer reported. “I advise that the corper should be withdrawn from serving in this establishment and be reposted, and all possible measures should be taken to make him for his reactions. He has no right to treat her this way.”

Abanah on his own then petitioned the NYSC State Coordinator on November 12 accusing Agbo in a four-page letter of “poor parental upbringing” and being “desperate, devious, and dubious and a calculated and cold liar that thinks everybody wants to flirt with her”. He added he has no regards for the Garki Police station and was therefore taking his case against Agbo to the Commissioner of Police of the Federal Capital Territory.

“The publisher did not want a heehaw affair with a desperate woman whom he has been feeding in a local police station,” Abanah said.

“Miss Agbo has been given a fair option of proceeding to a court of law with her claims, but will not be granted the excessiveness of a shouting match with her employer at a local police station.”

Abanah in a calculated move petitioned the Commissioner of Police of the Federal Capital Territory. But contrary to what he told the NYSC, he claimed Agbo was using police officers from the Garki Police station to threaten him. He asked the case be transferred to the FCT Police command, apparently to avoid being charged to court. On November 30, Agbo was invited as an accused to make her report. She was detained and only released after her sister stood bail for her.

By December 3, when the FCT Police Command was presented with Abanah’s subsisting arrest warrant from the Garki Police station, and it was also discovered the contradicting motives Abanah had declared in his letters to the Police, and the NYSC for refusing to honour the Police invitation, he was arrested with the Garki Police Station taking him into their custody.

Speaking to Abanah while in detention behind the Police counter, he said a recent case of murder in his hotel involving an alleged prostitute in October and his unwillingness to continually bribe officers of the Garki Police station led him to refuse to honour their respective invitations. Abanah denied assaulting Agbo, but claimed she was out to tarnish his image. He described Agbo as erratic and unproductive who for three weeks failed to come to work for no apparent reason only to resurface asking him to sign her NYSC Performance Certificate.

Abanah’s staff when questioned separately however debunked his claims, instead stating Abanah had failed to provide a conducive work space for them. A visit to Garki Gazette premises revealed the only furnished office is Abanah’s office, which doubles as his office as Eddy-Vic Hotels managing director, located on the ground floor of the hotel facing the main entrance. Another space for staff remains under construction.

To further puncture his claims, Agbo, the former sub-editor of the Charly Boy magazine, provided evidence of the eight editions she oversaw as editor of the Garki Gazette, with her by-line and image featured on the editorial page.

Agbo also accuses Abanah of plagiarism. Despite not giving her a termination letter, he removed her by-line from the magazine’s 54th issue which was her ninth edition which she said she wrote 16 out of 32 pages and edited before its publication 3rd-9th November 2012. A copy of the said publication reveals Abanah replaced Agbo’s name as editor with Kaila Budango, his pen name. He removed Agbo’s image from the editorial page, but published her remarks “word for word”, passing it off as his own, she said.

Late in the evening of December 3, the Police in Garki ushered a visibly humbled Abanah into a police cell after asking him to undress and declare all his belongings on him. He spent the night and was charged to court on December 4th 2012 for resisting Police arrest.

Abanah’s friends, since his arrest, have been pleading with Agbo and her family to let peace reign and withdraw her case currently with the FCT Police Command. Agbo said she has to consult with her lawyer and rights groups which took up her case before taking a decision. She however underscored conditions Abanah must meet.

“One he has to write back to NYSC to retract the lies he wrote about me. Two, he has to write an undertaking nothing will happen to me because he knows where I live,” Agbo said. “And since my contract is not terminated, he must pay my arrears and that of other staff he owes their salary.”

Labaran Maku’s Funeral By Rudolf Ogoo Okonkwo

If you want to kill a politician, make him or her the minister of information.

At this year’s Nigerian Independence Parade in New York City, I listened to Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, as he addressed Nigerians. The drama of his experience at the podium reminded me of that line in William Butler Yeats’ famous poem, The Second Coming.

“The best lack all conviction, while the worst/Are full of passionate intensity.”

Maku was full of passionate intensity that day. But it did not rub off on his audience. At times he was booed for making outrageous claims. It happened when he claimed that electricity supply in Nigeria had improved so much that some places enjoyed 24-hour power. It happened again when he claimed that great trains were running again in Nigeria.

He was talking to a special audience. Gathered there were patriotic and optimistic Nigerians. They were not whiners. They were not Nigerians who hated their country. Many of them were very young, boiling with enthusiasm. In their protected innocence about the Nigerian project, this group was itching to forge ahead and do great things in spite of the challenges. They could take bad news as long as they could sense a genuine focus on the dream.

But Maku was more interested in fooling them. He was ignorant of his audience’s sophistication. He was unaware of his audience’s deep network inside Nigeria and their clear understanding of the ‘situation on the ground.’ He deployed old-fashioned propaganda in an ipod age.

You don’t tell people who stepped out of the New York subway that the second hand trains Nigeria has been picking up from junkyards of the world would amount to the best train system in Africa. You do not tell people who had not experienced power outage once in ten years that some parts of Nigeria now enjoy 24-hour power supply and expect them to clap for you. Certainly not when many of them spent their summer holidays in Nigeria and did not experience such anywhere.

Maku had the best audience he could find anywhere in the world -boys and girls who wore green and white attires, painted their faces the color of the Nigerian flag. And he blew it. And right there, I lost hope in his ability to make it anywhere.

I was, therefore, not surprised that, while hanging out in London with the former British Minister for Africa, Lynda Chalker, Mr. Labaran Maku declared, "The Nigeria media is so negative about the country. They are not interested in believing the progress being made in the country. They are running the country down".

Mr. Maku is a child of the media. He surely knows something about how the press works. He knows that “the only countries where newspapers are full of good news are those countries where the prisons are full of good people.” Maku is just not letting it out. Or maybe not. Maybe he was living a lie all these years that he was a Student Union activist and reporter. Maku, a former editor, knows that editors worship the devil. And politicians do everything in their power to keep the devil around the political arena. It is a symbiotic relationship.

Mr. Maku, in case you have forgotten, this is how the press works -the press reports the news. In a developing country like ours, the bulk of the news comes from the government- in this case, your government. The rest comes from what members of the press see around them.

Here are your typical news story headlines of each week:

Boko Haram bombs this church killing this number of people.
This international organization ranks Nigeria last in this or that development index.
Kidnappers pick up this prominent Nigerian and are demanding tens of millions
An investigative committee unearths billions of naira stolen from this government agency
Nigeria borrows this millions of dollars from China for development
Police officer kills bus driver for refusing to give N20 naira bribe
A pregnant woman dies at the hospital because she couldn’t pay N20,000 deposit
“90% of rape cases is self-inflicted,” says this state Attorney-general
Former government official buys billions of naira home in Abuja
Youth unemployment rises to 75%
Government official flown to Europe for medical treatment

Maku, these are the typical news story of every week in your Nigeria. Which of them makes the media negative? Which of them do you want the media to underreport? Wait, wait, wait, don’t tell me. I know what your answer will be. None. All you want is for the media to balance it up. Publish the good news as well as the bad news.

Ok, lets go through your typical good news of each week.

The eight wonder of the world, the Eko Atlantic Project, is in progress.
JTF has killed another Boko Haram commander
Nigeria’s GDP grows by 7.8%
Bank ABC has declared a profit of hundreds of billions
Another pastor buys a private jet.
Nigeria’s foreign reserve grows

Maku’s job of selling good news is made difficult not by the cynicism of the Nigerian people but by the epic river of corruption swelling around the government he defends. In Nigeria, bad news does not interrupt good news, instead it is good news that interrupts a stream of bad news. People feel the pulse of the nation based on what they see in their family and their corner of the country. It is not based on GDP figure.

To compound Maku’s problems, the mainstream media has lost its control over what people read, view or hear. While Maku’s predecessors could buy up the media, it is hard to bribe millions of citizen reporters who are busy on their cell phones snapping pictures and twitting away. Poor rankings of Nigerian in healthcare, education, life expectancy and infant mortality are not just statistics. There are people behind the figures. And these people now have a means to have their say about what they feel. In a connected world the expectations of these people are increasing. Just the same way President Jonathan was entertained in Ethiopia with beautiful cutleries and he came back and added hundreds of millions to Aso Rock budget for kitchen wares, Nigerians are becoming aware of the standard of life in other parts of the world and they want a piece of it.

In a government full of tragic individuals, Maku is the most tragic of them all. He spent years fighting the establishment. But once he became part of the establishment he finds himself screaming at the top of his voice that there is no establishment anymore.

Maku has the right to use his life-long mastery of the language of compliant to feign ignorance and self-righteousness. He does so while he tortures the truth, sacrifices the wretched and flatters the corrupt. It is falsehood that demands spin. Truth ascends to the surface no matter how many heavyweights fighters are holding it down. Haunted by a dark desire to keep the irony of his existence private, Maku is left to marvel at his unflinching failure to convince.

Maku is already guilty of intellectual dishonesty. He is capable of much more. But not to worry, it is his own funeral.

Iyanya Dumps Yvonne Nelson For Tonto Dikeh

While Ghanaian actress, Yvonne Nelson and Nigerian music sensation, Iyanya were romantic items, they both reportedly denied having any romantic ties with each other. Even when close industry sources stressed that Iyanya and Yvonne were warming their beds, they further denied it.

Now, like a chewing gum, the MTN Project Fame season one winner has called it quit with the Ghanaian actress for controversial Nigerian actress, Tonto Dikeh.

An embittered Yvonne, who couldn't hide her hurt anymore, took to twitter to let the world know she has been dumped by her lover, Iyanya, for another beautiful actress, Tonto. She tweeted, "I really thought you were the one but I guess all you (Iyanya) wanted was to be dating an actress. Enjoy dating the second actress. [I have] moved on player."

The wounded lover further tweeted, "He was acting all along in the relationship and guess what? I'm THE actress and I couldn't tell. #irony of life. Revelations!!! Sat down in shock but had this smile on my face..the truth sure was unbelievable......hello real MAN!

"Peeps like him give LOVE a bad name. Clapping well done. You lost the love I loved the most. I almost forgot, don't come back! The cheating story ENDS here.*kisses."

Iyanya, in his newest single, 'Your Waist', severally mentioned the name of Yvonne Nelson. This further cleared doubts about an affair going on between the two.

Princess, Embarrassed In Church For Being Single

Nigerian Comedienne, Princess, Embarrassed In Church For Being Single

Ostensibly, November 25, 2012 will not wipe off in the memory of plus-size Nigerian comedienne, Adekoya Damilola popularly known as Princess as she got what she wouldn't have imagined to get while she made her way to the presence of God in Lagos.

After leaving her house to fulfil all righteousness by keeping the Sabbath day holy, Princess chose Pastor Poju Oyemade's Covenant Christian Centre church to attend that Sunday probably convinced and tounched by the pastor's preaching on TV, which he does every Sunday.

According to what Princess tweeted, she was embarrassed by one of the church's ushers who reportedly refused to allow her sit in the front seat while the pastor was preaching because she (Princess) was single.

"I can't believe this Covenant Christian Centre people and their sitting arrangement. Is this not supposed to be the house of God? One [of the] usher[s] told me I couldn't sit in front because I am single. I nearly died of embarrassment, in the presence of God! *sad face," the busty comedienne tweeted.

Pastor Poju later apologised to Princess few days ago which was accepted by her (Princess) [@pastorpoju accepted but I feel really PAINED u waited dis long knowing wat ur usher did on Sunday was VERY wrong. Its not a sin 2 b SINGLE!]

However, Princess, going by her other response to Pastor Poju, was surprised that the pastor himself is also a single. Her replied tweet to pastor Poju, who may have deleted his apology tweet, as we could not get his tweets on the matter, reads, "@pastorpoju OMG! So u r single too, that usher owes a BIG time apology. He spoilt my day, made me regret coming to ur church & hurt my feelings."

Princess is unarguably the most popular female comedian in Nigeria.

Fully loaded luxury bus bombed in Kano

Another bomb yesterday evening, exploded in the ancient city of Kano, injuring unspecified number of persons and passengers.. Details of the blast were sketchy as at press time but Daily Sun gathered that the incident occurred after two unidentified young men hurled two improvised explosive devices at a luxury bus that was travelling out of the state.

The suspects escaped thereafter before the security could take over the scene of the attack. It was gathered that the blast happened around the popular Zaria Roadabout by Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano area, after the luxury vehicle had come off the round about and was on the Express road driving out of the state.

The blast subsequently resulted into a traffic gridlock on the Expressway as the officers of the Joint Security Task Force (JTF) in the state cordoned off the road forcing the traffic to take to nearby roads to make their transit. Efforts to reach the spokesman of the Joint Security Task Force, Lt. Ikedeche Iweha and the spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force, ASP Magaji Majiya for comments were unsuccessful. Recall that a similar blast occurred on Monday along the famous IBB way in the state capital, injuring a policeman, an FRSC officers and a traffic officer in the employ of the state government
