Alamieyeseigha didn't fake his death, to be buried March 26- Cousin says


Major Graham Naingba (rtd), the Traditional Ruler of Amassoma kingdom and the first cousin of former Bayelsa state governor, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, says the funeral of the former governor who died last October, will commence on March 24th and end on March 26th. ‎

The monarch who is from Alamieyeseigha's village, said the deceased would have been buried on November 16 last year, the day he would have marked his 63 birthday but it was put off because of preparations for the state governorship election and lack of agreement between the state government and the deceased’s family.

According to The Nation, the Monarch discredited reports that Alamieyeseigha faked his death to avoid being extradited to the UK. According to him, anyone who fakes his or her death in their village will die. ‎He said although the Chiefs in their community is yet to see his corpse, the former governor's death is true
"‎Alamieyeseigha is truly dead. I have heard people who claimed that he faked his death. It is not true. In Ogboin community, we don’t fake our death. If anybody claims that he is dead and he eventually comes back, the person cannot live for more than three months. It is our tradition. If you fake your death, you are gone because you cannot live again. Even if the whole world says he is not dead, I the traditional ruler of this community will tell you that he is dead.”‎he said

See the £25million yacht Roman Abramovich reportedly gave Russia president Vladimir Putin


Russian businessman, investor, politician and owner of Chelsea football club, Roman Abramovich gave a £25 million yacht to Russian president Vladmir Putin, new reports claim. Dmitry Skarga, a former head of Russia’s state shipping company, Sovcomflot, said the boat was a gift from Abramovich, who transferred it to the president via an intermediary associate.

The pair have long been friends but Putin's critics feel he has unknown energy business deals with the Chelsea owner.
“It's a fact that Mr Abramovich, through his employee transferred a yacht to Mr Putin,” Mr Skarga told Panorama. Mr Skarga also alleged that the yacht is run and maintained with state funds, even though it is Mr Putin’s personal property.
The allegations come as a top American official openly accused Mr Putin of corruption and direct embezzlement of state funds. There has been a lot of speculation about Putin's actual wealth value with Bill Browder, a hedge fund manager and vocal critic of Mr Putin, claiming that the Russian president is worth $200 billion, a sum that would make him by far the richest man in the world. But Putin’s spokesman has called the allegations “complete trash.” Mr Abramovich’s lawyers called the claims about the yacht “unsubstantiated” and little more than a “rehash of speculation and rumours”.

'How Lekki Toll Gate nearly killed me!' - Woman narrates her story


Read what was sent in below..
My name is Omolara Adebis. I was driving through the e tag express lane on the 19th of Jan 2016 with three other people in the car on my way from the office to pick my son from school. I had a balance not lower than twelve thousand naira on the toll account. The car's e-tag was scanned and the barrier remained open as usual for me to pass when the thing suddenly dropped on my windscreen as i passed through and the whole screen cracked almost crashing on my face.

I parked and they lead me to their office where they apologized and asked me to fill a form which I did. They were very apologetic and i just gave them my details without causing a scene. I waited for them to contact me and to my surprise they are singing another story. Now the claim is that the toll did not open for me it opened but for the car before me. A toll that closed when the car before me passed and opened again for me to pass? I expected them to show me the footage of the accident that day but they didn't. Now they say they have looked at the footage and i am at fault.
I suspect they have manipulated the video. Aunty my point here is that there was a toll malfunction that endangered the lives of all of us in the car and the LCC is refusing to take responsibility and trying to put the blame on a paying customer. I have attached the picture of the car and the form i filled. My car is a BMW X3. Please help me broadcast so i can at least get justice. It is very unfair to blame me for their mistake!
