APC Supporters Jubilating Waiting For Buhari To Be Announced As Winner .. see photos



Juju Priest Broke Tonto Dikeh And Halima Abubakar Friendship

Very controversial writer, Etcetera has made some serious revelations concerning Nollywood actresses Tonto Dikeh and Halima Abubakar. The celebrity police or should I say Judge claims that Tonto and Halima were best friends but fell out because of a juju priest.

According to Etcetera said:
“Our Nollywood sources tell us that Halimah Abubakar and Tonto Dikeh who used to be good friends, fell out because of a juju priest — It is said that Halimah, took Tonto to sample the powers of her juju priest who got encharmed by her looks and preferred working for her instead of his usual customer, Halimah.
“Halimah could not stand the fact that she got sidelined by her own juju priest and asked Tonto to stay the hell away from her for good. A staff of Etcetera Live called Halimah at about 2pm yesterday (Friday) to confirm the story but she demanded for a text message to be sent to her instead. Further attempts to reach her proved abortive until about 11.32pm when she finally picked and said in her own voice, “this is Halimah’s PA, she will get back to you later.”
“Hmmmm, so na juju separate the 2 of dem? No wonder dem no gree tell us wetin really happen between dem. Breeze don finally blow fowl yansh ooo. Same sources told us that Tonto does not like tattoos; she uses them to mask incisions gotten from her visits to her juju priest”.
So our celebs are into Juju things??

[Photos] Wizkid Smashes Fan’s Iphone 6 In Dubai Club

Samuel Ajayi, a disgruntled fan of Afro pop sensation Wizkid took to his Instagram page to blast the artiste for allegedly destroying his expensive iPhone.
According to Ajayi, all he wanted to do was to take a photo of Wizkid smoking a joint at the Dubai club where they were all having fun and cooling off, when the artiste turned violent, attacked him and then smashed his phone into pieces.
In addition to this, Wizkid allegedly also broke a window in the Dubai Night club, in his rage, forcing Dubai police to shut down the club temporarily, ruining the fun for the night crawlers present at the party.
Wizkid who has been in Dubai since Thursday the 26th of March, to headline the Dubai edition of Industry night, has not come out to address the allegations.
Samuel Ajayi who goes by SamuelChyln on Instagram was however, not prepared to let sleeping dogs lie as he posted a photo of the smashed iPhone on his Instagram page.

Fans Blast Davido, Dj Cuppy for Missing Presidential Elections



Davido and DJ Cuppy are currently facing some heat from fans as they’re in Nairobi, Kenya this weekend for a concert, making them unable to vote. 
B-Red, Kenyan Victoria Kimani, DJ Obi, Asa Asika and more are also in the city.
We’re guessing they were unable to cancel because of contractual obligations, a similar problem Basketmouth cited, when he couldn’t move his annual London show on February 14, the original election date.
Both DJ Cuppy and Davido used separate private jets for their trips.

Here are some of the comments from Cuppy’s fans:

Olamide Set To Drop Five Albums In 2015


YBNL Boss and Baddoo of Life Olamide in an exclusive interview with FNN revealed that he was ready to keep releasing hit songs and albums to Nigerians, especially as he was on track to drop five hot new albums this year.
This is in addition to the over a hundred songs he already has to his credit and three albums in just less than five years.
According to Olamide, he is so passionate about music that he feels he owes Nigerians a responsibility to release new tracks very frequently, and he is doing everything within his power to fulfil the responsibility.
When he was asked whether he didn’t feel that he was disturbing Nigerians by obliging them to download new songs every week, he countered by saying that he is not forcing anybody to listen to his tracks, as the tracks were capable of selling themselves.
“I do not force anybody to listen to or download my songs. if you want to hear them, good. if not, carry your bad belle oshi away to another place. whether you listen or not I will still make my money’

They said he smoked too much Kenyan weed and he and his crew lost over 10 phones in one night.
Kenyan fans who were present at the concert took to twitter to express their displeasure over Davido’s rude act.






I would rather make use of soap in the bathroom than have sex with random girls.” – Patoranking

Dancehall singer Patoranking has revealed  he would rather self-service than sleep around with random girls.
The singer who also disclosed that he was single said he is more concerned about his career and his family as marriage is not in his plans at the moment.
In his own words, “If I tell you that I want to marry right now, would you not lie me down and beat me? I am single and ready to mingle. Right now, I am just concerned about my career and family. Marriage is not in the question for me. I don’t have a girlfriend. I am not a promiscuous fellow and if I ever need to blow off steam, I would rather make use of soap in the bathroom than be with random girls.”

Change or Continuity?? #VoteNotFight



Arrest Of Card Reader Company Technicians Won’t Affect Elections, Jega

The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Attahiru Jega, on Friday assured Nigerians that adequate preparations had been made by the commission to conduct credible election across the country today.

Jega gave the assurance at a joint news conference he addressed in his Abuja office with the Director-General, National Youths Service Corps, Brig.-Gen. Bamidele Olawumi.

He allayed fears that the arrest of some workers of the firm that produced the Permanent Voter Cards by security operatives would affect INEC operations throughout the election period.

Jega said, “I received a letter from the Chairman of Act Technologies Limited, the contractor that is handling the production of the PVCs and the card readers on Thursday.

“In the letter, he conveyed to the commission that two of his workers are under investigation and detention by the State Security Service and that the detention of the two staff, is affecting their operations in the company.

“It is not the chairman of the company that was arrested, but his staff. As far as I know, it is not affecting our operations for the election. We have already deployed for the election so it will not affect the process.”

The INEC boss described as libelous, malicious and irresponsible, a statement credited to a political party which alleged that the commission compromised the integrity of the electoral process by awarding the contract for the production of the PVCs and card reader supply to an already blacklisted firm.

He also clarified that the commission’s technical staff were fully in charge of the card readers’ operations and that contrary to the political party’s allegation, the supplier of the card readers was not in possession of their ‘master key.’

He said, “The Acts Technologies Nigeria Limited competed for it (contract) alongside other Nigerians; went through due diligence, bureau of public Procurement and bid for it. The contract was approved by the Federal Executive Council because the quantum of money involved was beyond what the agency can release on its own.

“As far as we are concerned, there is no record indicating that Act Technologies Limited has been blacklisted either by INEC or any other person with regards to procurement of materials for us.”

Jega, however, said there should not be any controversy over the choice of the electorate to vote and remain at the polling unit or to go home.

He said, “We are concerned about the integrity of the electoral process and we believe that the transparency of the process will be enhanced if after casting their votes, the electorate remain to know who has won in their polling units. “It is not in the guidelines that people should vote and go or to stay after voting. If people choose to, they should be allowed to stay so long as they are law-abiding and conduct themselves peacefully.”

The INEC boss added that over 700, 000 temporary staff, including 134, 000 corps members were deployed to conduct election in the 119, 973 polling units across the country.

Buhari's Manifesto Vs Jonathan's Manifesto

WHEN Nigerians file out to vote for the President on Saturday, March 28, they would be confronted by the not-so-easy task of opting for change which the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari offers or continue with President Goodluck Jonathan’s transformation agenda which the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has made its mantra.

And to make your choice a bit easier, ENCOMIUM Weekly unveils the major campaign promises of the two leading presidential candidates.

JONATHAN

The presidential candidate of the ruling PDP, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan anchors his campaign for the 2015 election on continuation of his transformation agenda, which he clearly articulated in 2011. The thrust of his new manifesto is more of consolidation of his modest achievements since he assumed office on May 29, 2011.



JOB CREATION

The Jonathan administration is going to take job creation serious. With a promise of two million jobs per annum, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has promised to check the growth rate of unemployment.



AGRICULTURE

With the current growth of agriculture at seven to eight per cent, according to official figures, President Jonathan has pledged to sustain the ongoing reforms in the sector.



GROWING THE ECONOMY

President Goodluck Jonathan has also assured he would sustain the growth of Africa’s largest economy. The Federal Government hopes to expand the rebased economy and ensure real growth despite the challenges of dwindling oil revenue. The PDP-led government has also pledged to continue to diversify the economy.



INFRASTRUCTURE

President Jonathan promised to address the infrastructure deficit in the country in key development areas such as power, transportation, housing, information communication technology (ICT), FCT and Niger Delta.

From the PDP manifesto, the revitalization, modernization and expansion of the rails as well as road rehabilitation are part of work to be done in this sector.



POWER

In its transformation agenda that covers the power sector, the Jonathan administration promised to invest about N1.896 trillion to improve this infrastructure. And with the successes his regime flaunts, Jonathan has now pledged to increase generation and distribution of electricity if re-elected on March 28, 2015.

Interestingly, the present administration claims it has generated more electricity than any past government with over 4,500 MW. According to the president, generation transmission lines also increased from 3,000km to 6,500km. In the years ahead, the President assures things would get better.



EDUCATION

Education is also a major issue in the PDP manifesto. The Jonathan administration has, therefore, resolved to fund the sector adequately. The PDP government equally desires to increase school enrolment, especially at the primary level and create more access to education through creative funding of schools.



HEALTH SECTOR

The thrust of President Jonathan’s manifesto in the health sector is the National Strategic Health Development Plan (NSHDP). He has also promised to pursue policies and programmes to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Vision 20:2020.



WOMEN AND YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Gender equality is also given priority in Jonathan’s campaign. He has, therefore, assured Nigerians that women would even get more 35 per cent of appointments in his cabinet so as to close the yawning gap between them and men. Youths would also continue to benefit from the various empowerment programmes like the SURE-P and Youwin.



MUHAMMADU BUHARI

Anti-corruption, National Security top BUHARI’s agenda



FOR the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, his major campaign promises are more like a covenant with Nigerians to enable him bring about the change they desire. And here is Buhari’s agenda if he wins the 2015 presidential election.



CORRUPTION

The mantra of anti-corruption resonates in General Buhari’s manifesto.

“I believe if Nigeria does not kill corruption, corruption will kill Nigeria,” he declared.

He said he would publicly declare his assets if elected president and wage serious anti-corruption war against culprits through a National Anti-Corruption Strategy.

Access to justice and respect for fundamental human rights.

The APC presidential candidate equally pledged to run a government that protects citizens’ fundamental human rights. In fact, he said he would lead a government founded on values that promote and protect these rights synonymous with democracy.



INSURGENCY AND SECURITY

Buhari also pledged to take the issue of security serious. He promised that under his watch, no force, external or internal will overtake even an inch of Nigerian soul. He also assured he would rescue the Chibok girls.

In summary, General Buhari said he would deliver a marshal plan on insurgency, terrorism, ethnic and religious violence and rural banditry.



HEALTH

On health, Buhari has a Health Sector Review Policy to ensure health for all Nigerians irrespective of their status.



EDUCATION

Buhari has also vowed to restore the lost glory of education by implementing reforms that would bring quality back into schools. He would also position tertiary institutions to provide market-relevant skills to youths as well as improve school enrolment.



AGRICULTURE

Agriculture is equally a priority in the APC manifesto. He hopes that the sector would be a major revenue earner as oil prices fall.



INCLUSIVE ECONOMY

In his covenant with Nigerians, General Buhari acknowledges that millions of Nigerians live below poverty level. So, his Presidency aspires to benefit majority of the people through a better management of the economy.



BUILDING REFINERIES

General Buhari has also promised to reform the oil sector, build four refineries and unbundle the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), if elected President.

12 Types Of People You Will Meet On Election Day

As we all know that the election is just few day to hold, and there are categories of people we are going to meet on that day and i bring to you, the 10 types of people we are going to meet at the polling unit on election day;

1 The gentlemen/ladies
These are the types of people the will visit the polling unit just to fulfil their mission which is to vote peacefully and after that, go back to their home without any problem.
2 The elders
These people(mostly men) are always between the age 70-80+ you will always find them sitting under a tree or any shaded area within the polling centre lecturing young men about the history of politics and how the country was going from bad to good and vice versa.

3 The I Too Know (ITKs)
These are the categories of people that you will see jumping from one place to the other as if they are INEC chairman. You will never see them at rest, they can even go to the extent of teaching the INEC officials their works.

4 The ushers
You will always see these categories of people on the queue looking very quiet but when they see a person trying to manipulate the queue, they will just walk to him/her and say something like "Oga, please go and join the queue at the back, we that have being on the line are not animals" they will never leave you until you do the needful.

5 The coordinators
They are more like the ushers but something special about them is that they are not always on the queue, if they see you trying to sneak into the queue, they will just appear from nowhere and say "hey" then point to the back, due to the fear that you don't know the kind of person they are, you will port to the back with immediate effect.

6 The confused ones
Looking at them only, you will deduce that they are confused. They will always be looking as if someone is about to kidnap them or you will always see them asking questions silly like "Brother, will they collect this PVC from us after we are through?" or "Sister, shebi Buhari the PDP presidential candidate?" They are always annoying.

7 The VIPs
These are always the big men of the hood, they will just drive down to the polling unit with their expensive ride and walk up to the INEC officials with a bottle water in their hands and do all the necessary stuffs and drive back home immediately

8 The spacebookers
I usually wonder if that's what they do to make money on that day or they are just naturally mumus. They will be on the queue for hours and when it's almost their turn to vote, someone will just come from nowhere and take their place then you will see them leaving.

9 The lookers/observers
Some are not even there to vote but to watch people arguing or fighting, you will always see them at alert with their phones getting ready to snap/video any funny or fist throwing event that takes place at the unit.

10 The fighters
Their own mission is to come and cause violence at the polling unit, they will mistakenly hit you or march you, instead of saying sorry, they will turn it to fight. Be careful when dealing with them

11 The traders
I usually love the courage of these people coz any opportunity they see, they will use it to promote their business. You will see them early in the morning already offloading bags of pure water, snacks, groundnut, coolers of rice and other foods some will even bring their tables to roast boli(roasted plantains) at the polling unit, they are always desperate to make money.

12 The pickpocketers
One of my teachers defined them as "Dem no be thieves ooo but if they pass, something go lost". All they need to do is to just look at your pocket and they will explore everything inside it then you will see them passing your side 24/7 or trying to form familiarity with you, my brother be watchful or else they will steal you sef.

keep calm and vote wisely
May God help us
