President Jonathan’s Social Media Aide Reno Omokri Exposed

Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, the outspoken Special Assistant on Social Media to President Goodluck Jonathan, was today unmasked as the brain behind a fraudulent attempt to link Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), to the recent spike in Boko Haram violence in Borno and Yobe States. In one of the recent attacks, Boko Haram terrorists slaughtered some 60 secondary school students at their boarding house.

Posing as “Wendell Simlin,” Mr. Omokri circulated a Word document linking the former CBN Governor to the recent attacks. The ruse was however uncovered when some Internet-savvy Nigerians traced the IP address of the source document and it turned out that it had been authored and circulated by Mr. Omokri.

This scandal, the latest in a series of ethical and corruption issues rocking the Jonathan administration, set Twitter on fire today. Outraged Nigerians called for Mr. Omokri's sack. The timing of Mr. Omokri's fraudulent act is particularly insensitive, with many commentators questioning why a member of President Jonathan’s inner circle would seek to capitalize on the blood of slaughtered innocent children by forging documents to implicate a perceived "enemy" of the Jonathan administration.

Mr. Omokri’s callous forgery began to unfold today at about 11.54 a.m. (Nigerian time) when certain media outlets and editors received an email from one Wendell Simlin (wendellsimlin@yahoo.com) with the headline “Increased Tempo of Boko Haram/Terrorist Activity in the Wake of the Sanusi Saga”.
The email included a Word document which sought to use spurious circumstantial evidence laced with a heavy dose of innuendo to suggest that the renewed Boko Haram attacks in the Northeast were linked to Mr. Sanusi's recent suspension as CBN governor.
Curiously, the document also contained attacks on Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, the father of the jailed Christmas Day Underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Mutallab.
Several tech-savvy individuals tried to ascertain who the author was and why such critical information was emerging from a “strange” and unknown name. The investigations turned up the following evidence:
1. They found a Wendell Simlin on Facebook with only one photo. That photo had Mr. Reno Omokri in it. While the photo has since been deleted, a screenshot was taken before the deletion and it is hereby published.
2. Further circumstantial evidence, such as friendships on Facebook, including ‘liked’ pages, strongly linked the account of Mr. Simlin to Mr Omokri. Some Internet investigators also discovered that there was a lot of interaction linking the “shadowy” Mr. Simlin to Mr Omokri as far back as 2010.
3. A check of the IP address from which the email was sent indicated somewhere around the Kubwa area in Abuja with the IP address of 41.78.81.189.
4. But the most damning evidence was found in the   Word document “Simlin” sent out as news, which had the author's name as Reno Omokri. Those who received the original email have also done a check and confirmed that Mr. Omokri’s name was on it. Investigations further confirmed the person who saved and edited the document to be Mr. Omokri. Both screenshots are reproduced here.

Prior to today’s development, Mr. Omokri had already developed a reputation for a pattern of using a variety of identities (aliases and screen names) on the Internet to attack and smear the names of perceived enemies of Mr. Jonathan.

Analysts say that, even if Mr. Omokri was acting alone, the fact that he is officially a Special Assistant to the President implicates the Presidency in his callous effort to exploit a shocking tragedy in order to smear the former CBN Governor. The unmasking of Mr. Omokri as the author and mastermind of the grave forgery is likely to dent the Presidency as it sends the message that Mr. Jonathan may secretly encourage the very dirty tactics to which he publicly objects.

ANTI-GAY BILL: Museveni responds to Obama

 

I have had my disagreements with President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda on his seat-tight policy in Ugandan politics; most African leaders are like that - the chief amongst them is Old Grand-Father, Robert Mugabe who turned 90 last week. But on the issue of Anti-Gay Bill which he is billed to sign this week, President Museveni is one of Africa's hero on that account! Hear is what he said to President Obama's comments that signing the law will hurt relationships between Uganda and America.

- Godwin Ogwuche

I have seen the statement H.E President Obama of the USA made in reaction to my statement that I was going to sign the anti-homosexual Bill, which I made at Kyankwanzi.

Before I react to H.E. Obama’s statement, let me, again, put on record my views on the issue of homo-sexuals (ebitiingwa, bisiyaga in some of our dialects). Right from the beginning of this debate, my views were as follows:

1. I agreed with the MPs and almost all Ugandans that promotion of homosexuality in Uganda must be criminalized or rather should continue to be criminalized because the British had already done that;

2. those who agreed to become homosexuals for mercenary reasons (prostitutes) should be harshly punished as should those who paid them to be homosexual prostitutes; and

3. exhibitionism of homosexual behavior must be punished because, in this part of the World, it is forbidden to publicly exhibit any sexual conduct (kissing, etc) even for heterosexuals; if I kissed my wife of 41 years in public, I would lose elections in Uganda.

The only point I disagreed on with some of the Members of Parliament (MPs) and other Ugandans was on the persons I thought were born homosexual. According to the casual observations, there are rare deviations in nature from the normal. You witness cases like albinos (nyamagoye), barren women or men (enguumba), epa (breastless women) etc.

I, therefore, thought that similarly there were people that were born with the disorientation of being attracted to the same sex. That is why I thought that that it was wrong to punish somebody on account of being born abnormal. That is why I refused to sign the Bill and, instead, referred it to our Party (the NRM) to debate it again.

In the meantime, I sought for scientific opinions on this matter. I am grateful to Ms. Kerry Kennedy of the USA who sent me opinions by scientists from the USA saying that there could be some indications that homosexuality could be congenital. In our conference, I put these opinions to our scientists from the Department of Genetics, the School of Medicine and the Ministry of Health.

Their unanimous conclusion was that homosexuality, contrary to my earlier thinking, was behavioural and not genetic. It was learnt and could be unlearnt. I told them to put their signatures to that conclusion which they did. That is why I declared my intention to sign the Bill, which I will do.

I have now received their signed document, which says there is no single gene that has been traced to cause homosexuality. What I want them to clarify is whether a combination of genes can cause anybody to be homosexual. Then my task will be finished and I will sign the Bill.

After my statement to that effect which was quoted widely around the World, I got reactions from some friends from outside Africa. Statements like: “it is a matter of choice” or “whom they love” which President Obama repeated in his statement would be most furiously rejected by almost the entirety of our people.

It cannot be a matter of choice for a man to behave like a woman or vice-versa. The argument I had pushed was that there could be people who are born like that or “who they are”, according to President Obama’s statement. I, therefore, encourage the US government to help us by working with our Scientists to study whether, indeed, there are people who are born homosexual. When that is proved, we can review this legislation.

I would be among those who will spearhead that effort. That is why I had refused to sign the Bill until my premise was knocked down by the position of our Scientists.

I would like to discourage the USA government from taking the line that passing this law will “complicate our valued relationship” with the USA as President Obama said. Countries and Societies should relate with each other on the basis of mutual respect and independence in decision making.

“Valued relationship” cannot be sustainably maintained by one Society being subservient to another society. There are a myriad acts the societies in the West do that we frown on or even detest. We, however, never comment on those acts or make them preconditions for working with the West.

Africans do not seek to impose their views on anybody. We do not want anybody to impose their views on us. This very debate was provoked by Western groups who come to our schools and try to recruit children into homosexuality. It is better to limit the damage rather than exacerbate it.

I thank everybody.

They Are Using Subsidy Money To Buy Big Mansions Abroad SANUSI REVEALS

Speaking on the mess that is oozing out of President Goodluck Jonathan's government, Sanusi Lamido told the AFP that Jonathan lacks the will to appoint truthful men and women, as he is surrounded by crooks. In the words of Sanusi: “His [Jonathan] greatest failing obviously is that he is surrounded by people who are extremely incompetent, who are extremely fraudulent and whom he trusts.”

Regarding the allegations against him, the suspended CBN chief said when he heard of a report condemning his performance, he wrote to Jonathan asking if an explanation is needed, but he received no reply.

He said, unfortunately, the first time he was formally notified of the allegations against him was the day he was suspended, that is Thursday last week. But Reuben Abati had lied to the media that Sanusi was queried for the alleged offences and he replied the Presidency.

According to Sanusi, the so-called kerosene subsidy money spent by the Federal Government in fact pays for “private jets, yachts and expensive mansion (of top public office holders) in Beverly Hills (United States) and Switzerland.”

He added that, “Since 2009, I have been annoying the government… There are people who think I have the wrong friends; people who think maybe I have not distanced myself enough from people who are seen to be opposition figures.”

Sanusi argued that the extent of graft in the NNPC might have reached an historic high. “I think everybody has known that NNPC is rotten. I don’t think it has ever been as bad as this,” he said.

Reacting to plans to arrest and keep him out of circulation, Sanusi said: “If I am sacrificed in whatever way, my freedom or my life… if it does lead to better accountability, it will be well worth it.”

Photos: Nigerian Gay Activists Protest at Nigerian Embassy, London

PRO gay activists under the umbrella body of LGBTI (Members of the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transsexuals and Inter-sex) in the Diaspora held a peaceful rally yesterday February 20th outside the Nigerian High Commission, London, to protest the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act signed into law by President Jonathan.

The coordinator of the protest Davis Mac-Iyalla said he knows a few Nigerian leaders who are gays and lesbians "I know at least seven in both the Senate and House of Reps. They are in the minority and it will be wrong of me to mention their names, but they are there"

Some of the homosexual men even kissed in front of the embassy during the protest. Lol. See more photos after the cut.

Sanusi reacts to his suspension, says he will challenge it in court

In an interview with CNBC Africa this morning, Sansui Lamido Sanusi, who currently in Niger Republic attending an official ECOWAS event, says he will challenge his suspension.

Sanusi tells CNBC Africa

"I have been told by my office that a letter was received. As you know, I flew in this morning to Niamey along with other Governors of West African Central Banks to meet with the President of Niger and President of Ghana. Fortunately, I came in with my VP Sarah Alade whom I have been asked to hand over to. I have left the meeting to hand over to her. I have just met the Nigerian Ambassador to Niger who confirmed to me that the President asked him to inform me of the decision.

About financial misconduct and recklessness he's being accused of...

"I don’t know what they are talking about. When I come back, I will see what those allegations are. I don’t think there is any issue raised that has not been raised before. We all know what this is about. This is about consequences for decisions I have taken. This is something that is long overdue. I am surprised it took them so long.

When asked whether his suspension is politically motivated, he said

I think the answer to that is obvious. There is a legal question of whether the president has the authority to suspend the Governor and whether suspension is not removal. It will be helpful to establish the principles by court.

Even if I challenge it, I will not go back to the job. Even if I challenge it successfully, I will not go back to it. I think it will be in the interest of the institution for the courts to establish once and for all if the president has the powers to do this. If it is not challenged, the next Central Bank Governor cannot be independent with fear of being suspended by a politician. I do plan to have the courts confirm if indeed that authority exists and I will challenge it. 

Sacking of Sanusi against the law" - Abike Dabiri-Erewa reacts

House of Reps member and chairman of the House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Abike Dabiri Erewa, has reacted to Sanusi's sack on Twitter. She says it's irrational and against the law. Is it really against the law?

President Jonathan Suspends CBN Governor, Mallam Sanusi

The Presidency can no longer endure the BIG revelations from Sanusi Lamido. He has been suspended...

A statement from the Presidency reads: "Having taken special notice of reports of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria and other investigating bodies, which indicate clearly that Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s tenure has been characterized by various acts of financial recklessness and misconduct which are inconsistent with the administration’s vision of a Central Bank propelled by the core values of focused economic management, prudence, transparency and financial discipline. 

"Being also deeply concerned about far-reaching irregularities under Mallam Sanusi’s watch which have distracted the Central Bank away from the pursuit and achievement of its statutory mandate; and being determined to urgently re-position the Central Bank of Nigeria for greater efficiency, respect for due process and accountability, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has ordered the immediate suspension of Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi from the Office of Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

"President Jonathan has further ordered that Mallam Sanusi should hand over to the most senior Deputy Governor of the CBN, Dr Sarah Alade who will serve as Acting Governor until the conclusion of on-going investigations into breaches of enabling laws, due process and mandate of the CBN.

"The President expects that as Acting Governor of the Central Bank, Dr. Alade will focus on the core mandate of the Bank and conduct its affairs with greater professionalism, prudence and propriety to restore domestic and international confidence in the country’s apex bank.

The Federal Government of Nigeria reassures all stakeholders in Nigeria’s financial and monetary system that this decision has been taken in absolute good faith, in the overall interest of the Nigerian economy and in accordance with our laws and due process."

Mallam Sanusi is however insisting that no amount of allegations against him will make him keep quiet when a few persons are cornering Billions of Naira meant for all Nigerians.

What is your opinion on this.

"I feel more feminine with my beard” says woman who refuses to trim her excessive facial hair

• 
  

Harnaam Kaur, who is suffering from a condition known as polycystic ovary syndrome, which causes excessive hair development, has revealed that growing a beard makes her feel more feminine.
The 23-year-old said a beard first started to appear on her face when she was just 11. The hair quickly spread to her chest and arms, and the condition made her the victim of taunts at school and on the street.
She even received death threats from strangers over the internet.

Applying mascara: Miss Kaur has now decided to stop cutting her hair after being baptized as a Sikh

However, Kaur has now decided to stop cutting her hair after being baptised as a Sikh – a religion in which cutting body hair is forbidden.
She said: “I would never ever go back now and remove my facial hair because it’s the way God made me and I’m happy with the way I am. I feel more feminine, more sexy and I think I look it too. I’ve learned to love myself for who I am nothing can shake me now.”
According to Daily Mail:

During her early teens, Miss Kaur was so ashamed of her beard that she waxed twice a week, and also tried bleaching and shaving.
But the hair became thicker and spread – with Miss Kaur feeling so self-conscious that she refused to leave her house. She even began self-harming and she considered suicide. 
She said: ‘I got bullied badly – at school I was called a “beardo” and things like “shemale” and “sheman”. I can laugh about it now, but back then it affected me so badly that I began to self-harm because it felt better than all the abuse I was getting.

‘I’d talk to people with a hand over my face and I wore baggy, tomboy clothes to cover up the hair on my chest and arms.
‘I didn’t want to go outside my house because I couldn’t take the stares from strangers so I’d lock myself in my room. It got so bad that I just didn’t want to live anymore.’
Despite all the opposition, she took the step to bear her beard, and now embraces the thick hair on her face and chest. 
But at the age of 16, everything changed for Miss Kaur when she decided to be baptised as a Sikh. It meant she would have to let her facial hair grow out.

Siblings: Her parents have come to terms with her decision – and her brother Gurdeep Singh, 18, is her biggest supporter

The decision proved controversial – especially with her family. Miss Kaur said: ‘My mum and dad didn’t want me to do it – they didn’t think I’d be able to have a normal life if I had a beard.
‘They worried I wouldn’t be able to get married and that I’d never get a job. But I wanted to make my own decisions and live for myself – not anyone else. I’d had enough of hiding.

‘I’d had enough of the bullying and the self-harming and the suicidal thoughts. I wanted to change my whole outlook on life and I thought I thought it was time to stop locking myself away – I had to do something about it.
Her parents have come to terms with her decision – and her brother Gurdeep Singh, 18, is her biggest supporter.

PDP Governors Clash with PDP Senators over 2015 Power Play

Ahead of the 2015 general elections, another battle looms in the PDP as its senators are set to revolt against an underground move by their governors, unless President Goodluck Jonathan wades in. The agitation is on the senatorial ambition of 13 governors who are plotting to take over senate seats in 2015.

Already, the Senate PDP caucus has intimated President Jonathan of the ambition of the governors to snatch the tickets, in a countdown to the party primaries later in the year. The caucus made this known at a meeting with the President in Aso Rock last week.

In the event that Mr. President refuses to rein in the governors, some of the senators have vowed to leave the PDP for the fast-growing APC and “slug it out with these governors.”

At the meeting the issue of automatic tickets to some “deserving and loyal members of the party” was mooted.

Another senator recounted that, “at the meeting with the President, we reiterated loyalty to the party and that the party must also show appreciation by making sure that these governors do not snatch our return tickets. In a worst-case scenario, let the primaries be a level-playing field so that whoever wins will know that he/she was not denied the opportunity of fair play.”

But there seems to be a crack as most of the governors are loyal to President Jonathan and he would prefer to work with them to help him get a second term than support "mere" senators. 2015....we are waiting to see what will come out of it. 

Governor's Son Caught with Yahoo Boys; Jeeps, Money Seized In Lagos

The son of a popular governor, who lost out in the 2011 elections but is already printing campaign posted to go back to government house in 2015, has been caught with his gang of Yahoo Boys with huge sums of money and latest flashy cars and SUVs in the highbrow Lekki area of Lagos.

According to the story, the popular Alhaji Gay led EFCC operatives who stormed the base of these big boys that are working with a guy known as "Shina Peller", a don in the game.

Stuffs recovered from the ex-Governor's son and his gang included 3 Range Rover Sport SUV, two brand new 2013 Benz, three G Wagon Benz and $152,000 USD in cash with "juju" in their wardrobe...

D'banj set to appear on Real Housewives of Atlanta as Kenya Moore's boyfriend?

According to MediaTakeOut, former Miss USA and Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore, who claims she's dating an Africa prince and was in Lagos for Valentine, has hired D'banj to be her boyfriend for the reality show reunion show. Find the report from MTO below...

MediaTakeOut.com just received some extra steaming hot tea surrounding Kenya, and the upcoming Real Housewives reality show.

We spoke exclusively to a Bravo insider that told us that Bravo has just set up taping for the reunion everyone is scheduled to attend, each lady and their husband.

And we're told that while Porsha does not have a guest/husband, Kenya Moores will be bringing a guest. Word is she wants to help secure her spot for another season so she has in fact hired an African prince.

According to another person close to Kenya, she has contracted to bring in Nigerian singer D'Banj to the reunion. And by "contracted" we mean a business deal . . . she has hired him to pretend to be her boyfriend. D'Banj is a popular singer in Nigeria, and he and Kenya have done appearances together before - but they are not in any kind of relationship . . . and he did not buy her any type of car.

Hmmm....wonders 

D'banj replies Kenya Moore

D'banj has joined RHWOA star Kenya Moore to rubbish reports that she's planning to pay him $40k to appear as her boyfriend for the reality show's annual reunion episode. Jokingly says he will do it for free.

Update On Stella Oduah's Controversial Sack

The active online community was jolted back to political reality on Wednesday afternoon, when the news of the sacking of controversial Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, filtered in. Although the consensus of several Nigerians on Twitter and Facebook is that her resignation came late, many still consider it as good news.

Writer, social commentator, Tolu Ogunlesi, tweeted: “So BMW Queen @stellaoduah is no longer a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?”

Former lawmaker, Dino Melaye, also joined the unending debate on Twitter. His tweet read:

“Well-done, Mr President, for sacking Orubebe and Stella Oduah. Though belated, kudos, GEJ. Deziani is next on line. The people are winning.” 

Dino Melaye later wrote, “We will re-file our cases against Stella Oduah and Orubebe at the EFCC and in court. No public thief will go unpunished. Power is transient.”

Another group of persons blame her for refusing to step aside honorably at the peak of the crisis.

Stella Oduah first came under fire and public scrutiny last October after the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority purchased two bulletproof BMW cars at an inflated rate of N255m. 

Like the proverbial cat with nine lives, the ex-minister had survived criticism and probes in the past months. Also, most recently, she allegedly lied about her qualifications in the resume she presented to the Senate for her confirmation hearing. The university she claimed say they don't even offer an MBA.

It is thus not surprising that her sack appears to have overshadowed that of the other affected ministers, as all commentators made little or no mention of them in their tweets or posts.

Although the news flying round is that they (affected ministers) resigned, a cabinet source told The Punch that: "They were dropped, they did not resign.”

One of the Nigerians who reacted to the belated sack of Stella Oduah by Jonathan, said:

“After almost four months after the news broke? I’m sure her bank account is now full and she doesn’t need the job anymore. This Jonathan is always late and behind in decision making? I guess the question is: Why now?

“Imagine the kind of President we have. Just waking up from stupor? This is the kind of leader that allows his followers to slaughter others before making a decisions.”

28 Most Romantic Things A Man Can Do This Valentines

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, I polled women and asked them what were some of the most romantic things their men could do for them. Men, do this this Valentine’s Day … or any day.

Police Inspector Dupes US-Based Nigerian Lady

A  Nigerian lady based in the United States of America, Miss Veronica Okwara, has accused an inspector in the Nigeria Police Force, Anthony Chukwu, of defrauding her of N9 million under the false pretence of marrying her.

Veronica, a medical director (administration) in North Carolina USA, alleged that Chukwu, attached to X Squad Section Force Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Lagos, southwest Nigeria converted the proceeds  from the sale of vehicles and other imported items she asked him to sell on her behalf, for his personal use, after he had a fake wedding with her.

•Chukwu and Veronica after their wedding in America

Following the alleged scam, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, ordered the Interpol to investigate the matter. Thus, Chukwu was arrested and flown to the Police  Headquarters  in Abuja for interrogation.

Veronica, in her petition, stated that when she returned to Nigeria on vacation sometime in 2010, a member of her staff stole one of her trucks worth N3.8 million.

Veronica said she was introduced to Chukwu who was then attached to the Special Fraud Unit, SFU of the Nigeria Police in Ikoyi, Lagos to handle the case.

She stated that Chukwu who was then a police sergeant arrested her fleeing staff and recovered the truck for her.

The complainant said after the case, they became friends and Chukwu later proposed to her.

“Chukwu asked me if I was married and I said no. He told me he had divorced his wife and proposed to me. Because he sounded good, I discussed with my family and accepted his marriage proposal.”

But Veronica alleged that she later discovered that Chukwu was still married but planned with his wife to hide her and their  three children at Owornosoki area of Lagos in order to marry her.

According to the petition, Veronica fell into his trap and took him to USA where they wedded at North Carolina County Court Marriage Registry.  She said her mother was living with her when he came over for the marriage.

After the wedding, Veronica  informed Chukwu about her plans to import cars and other goods to Nigeria for sale.  And he agreed to receive the goods  in Nigeria and help her sell them.

She said she trusted Chukwu and shipped ome items including vehicles to him to sell in Lagos and remit the money to her.

The items include: Toyota Sienna, Toyota 4 Runner, Nissan Path finder, Toyota Sequoia, Honda CRV and 25 pieces of labtops. She alleged that Chukwu sold the items including 14 vehicles and converted the money from the sale proceeds for his personal use.

She claimed that when she asked for her money, the inspector started threatening to arrest her.   When our reporter contacted Chukwu through his phone, he asked him to come to his office at FCID X Squad at Alagbon Lagos.

He said he knew the lady in question and admitted that the matter was  being investigate by  the Interpol. Chukwu declined to make further comment on the matter.
