"ABORTION LAW: I SIGNED BILL IGNORANTLY---OKOROACHA"

An interesting twist is in the news today and i wonder what you make of it.

Please Read:

Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has apologised to the people of the state over the controversy generated by the law legalising abortion in the state.

This followed the pressure from churches, especially, the Catholic Church, in the state calling on the governor and the state legislature to repeal the law.

Addressing church leaders at the temporary chambers of the state House of Assembly in Owerri, Governor Okorocha appealed to the members of the House to repeal the contentious section(s) of the law in the interest of the state.

The said law which is cited as Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Law No 12 of 2012 permits women both married and unmarried to carry out abortion at will.

The contentious section of the law also states that every woman should obtain the rights to enjoy reproductive rights which includes right to medical abortion in cases of intimate assaults, molestation, incest and possible health danger associated with pregnancy to the woman.

Governor Okorocaha explained that his interest in assenting to the law was based on what he saw in Plateau State years back where a woman was raped by a mad man in the market resulting to the woman getting pregnant, saying he was not blackmailed into signing the law.

The governor noted that he had to bow to pressure because he realized that some people might hide under such law to commit abortion.

Meanwhile, the state House of Assembly has commenced the process of repealing the law.

A bill which was sponsored by the Majority Leader of the House, passed first reading on Tuesday evening, while the second reading was fixed for the tenth of this month.

Bisi Ibidapo Pleads....."Please Let Me Be,I want to be a good mother."

Beautiful actress, Bisi Ibidapo Obe has denied the story gone viral that ex House of Reps member, Dino has accepted paternity of her child. According  to Bisi," the news is totally false as I have not had any form of communication with Dino".

"I am more concerned about the welfare and proper upbringing of my child and will appreciate if the media will support my career, rather than publish false stories about me. I wish to be a good mother to my child and will love to be left out of any controversy so as to be able to build my career well".

Bisi who is preparing for a trip to Canada and United States told MetroNews that she is surprised that no media house called her to even confirm the story before rushing to press.

W-I-C-K-E-D-N-E-S-S! Gov Al Makura, Of Nassarawa State Spends N1.5 billion Public Fund on son's wedding in the USA

.

This is the only CPC governor spending 1.5 billion on his son's wedding in the United States. Is this the Muhammadu Buhari philosophy? I don't think so? This should tell my Muslim brothers that they are just being deceived by their politicians. All of them have their children in France, England and the United States and all over Europe, partying. But to spend 1.5 billion naira state money on son's wedding is outrageous. Governor Al Makura tells me that this whole APC thing is, as a writer wrote recently in Daily Trust, putting an old wine in a new bottle doesn't change anything. The PDP people at least are not hypocrites.

Obadare’s burial gulped N96m, reveals first son

Costs incurred during the burial of the late Apostle Timothy Obadare of the World Soul Winning Evangelistic Ministry, WOSEM, totaled N96 million, according to his eldest son, Pastor Paul Obadare.
But observers believe N96 million was too huge an amount to be spent on the burial of a humble man of God such as Obadare.
Most of the clergymen contacted this morning refused to speak on the amount spent on the burial which is believed to be too high for man who lived a modest life devoid of flamboyance and ostentation.
They rather preferred to remain quiet, saying their response may stir more controversies.

•The late Prophet Obadare

Obadare, a blind seer, was buried last weekend at Ilesa, Osun State, western Nigeria.
The funeral ceremony brought thousands of Nigerians together irrespective of their religion.
The Osun State Government released N35 million for the event, but Obadare’s son said what the family spent was far more than that amount.
He said the casket in which the corpse was buried was procured with N5 million.
Apart from this, he said, N61 million was spent on the construction a mausoleum, the final resting place of the late seer, while another N30 million was spent on entertainment.
While commending the Osun State Government for the donation, he said the money given by the state government was part of the amount spent. He said many other people contributed to the burial.

Oando to build 50 mega stations in five years
OANDO Marketing, a subsidiary of Oando Plc, has unveiled plans to build 10 mega stations every year　 within the next five years across major cities in the country.

　 The Chief Operating Officer of the company, Olaposi Williams, said that each station would have the capacity to dispense at least three trucks of Premium Motor Spirit per day.

　 She said that the new stations, which was one-stop shop, would be located in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and other major cities in the East, North and West.

　 According to her, Lagos would have the largest share with 50 per cent, Federal Capital Territory 30 per cent, while East and North would get 10 per cent each.

　 "We hope to build 10 mega stations every year in the next five years, which will bring the number to 50. We are repositioning our retail outlets across the country especially filling stations that have been driving our volume. Before now we had over 1,000 stations but we have 338 of them that are dispensing over a million liters per month, about three trucks per day. In the last one year, we have upgraded 10 stations in Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja" Williams said.

Any dealer caught in such act loses his or her contract with us. We don’t condone such act. We tell them every day and it is also stated in the agreement we signed with them. Nothing will make us to compromise our stations’ integrity. This is in line with our vision to have a quality station. If such station does not meet our standard we seal it up.

She said that the company would continue to upgrade its mega stations across the country to international standard.　 "We want to ensure that our fillings stations are beautiful and inviting to customers.　 We want a situation whereby customers will see it as a thing of pride to purchase our product."
