I fell out with Patience Jonathan because I refused to share Rivers money with her" - Amaechi

Governor of Rivers state, Rotimi
Amaechi says the major reason he and
the first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan
fell out was because he refused to share
the state money with her. Gov Amaechi
said this yesterday October 24th at the
graduation ceremony of the Pioneer
graduands of the Ignatus Ajuru
University of Education held at
Rumuolumeni in Rivers state. He said
"Remember, when I became
governor, I fought militancy. Right
there where you built a new
house used to be a hole where
they pass into the river nd escape.
The security report reached me
and I came here and chased the
militants away. I asked them to
fence the school premises and
block the hole. I have to protect
you because it is my
responsibility. Some of the
militants went to Lagos, Ivory
Coast, Ghana etc. Today, they are
back because the wife of the
President bought them back to
protest against me." Continue...
I refused to give them money in
Abuja because if I do that, I won't
be able to carry out any
developmental projects or finish
the road from Rumuolumeni to
Rumuepirikom. The quarel
between me and the wife of the
Preseident is because she said I
should bring your money, Rivers
peoples money and share with
her" Governor Amaechi alleges
Governor Amaechi is also quoted to
have told the graduands that should
they vote for President Jonathan back
into power in next year's general
elections, rivers state's economy would
crumble
"Now that you are graduates, you
are eligible voters that can use
your voters card to change
society. Ask yourself this question
that I have always asked Rivers
people. What have we (Rivers
people) done to President
Jonathan that he has refused to
bring any project to Rivers state.
We had to fight them before they
could do the East-West road. I had
to abuse the federal government
and they abused me back before
they could do the work you now
see on that road. Our President,
from the South-South, has taken
oil wells from Soku in Rivers state
to Bayelsa state. What about the
41 oil wells in Etche that was
given to Abia state? Is the
President or his wife from Abia?
Why do they want us to suffer? If
President Jonathan comes back to
power in 2015, Rivers state
economy will crash" he said

Iranian woman hanged for killing 'man who tried to rape her'

27 year old Reyhaney Jabbari (pictured
above), was executed today October
25th by hanging in Iran 7 years after
she killed a man that she claimed had
attempted to rape her. Reyhaney was
sentenced to death in 2009 for the
stabbing death of Morteza Abdolali
Sarbandi, a former intelligence officer.
A court ruled that she killed Morteza on
purpose because she had bought the
knife two days before she stabbed him
in the back with it. In her defence,
Reyhaney said she'd stabbed the man
out of self defence. The court overruled
her claims and sentenced her to death,
a ruling which was upheld by Iran's
Supreme court.
The execution was carried out today
after the victim's family refused to
pardon Reyhaney or accept money from
her family. Many human rights bodies
including Amnesty International had
over the years called on Iran's judiciary
to halt the execution but they went
ahead with it. Her mother confirmed it,
saying Reyhaney was hanged in a Tehran
prison very early this morning.

Would you consider permanent eye color procedure? Tiny did

T.I's wife, Tameka 'Tiny' Harris announced yesterday that she surgically changed the color of her eyes...from black to ice gray. She said she used to wear colored contact lenses but hated it because it made her vision blurry...but now that she's had them permanently done, her vision is perfect. This is one of the most bizarre cosmetic procedure I've heard. Can't it cause severe damage to the eyes? Too weird! Would you consider doing this?

EMEKA IKE DOES NOT HAVE SYMPATHY FOR HIMSELF–LANDLORD SPEAKS OUT

Few weeks ago, news went viral that popular actor, Emeka Ike was ejected from his school’s property in Magodo area of Lagos State. He was said to be owing the owner of the building housing his school, St Nicolas College in rents. The landlord of the house, one Chief Akintan has now opened up on the matter. The 87-year-old man stated that even though he has sympathy for Emeka Ike, the actor does not have such for himself. He spoke with Saturday Sun on the matter. The octogenarian chairman of Samak Investment Ltd, Chief Akintan wondered why the actor chose to be a pain in his neck. He said that he has sympathy for the Nollywood star, but “unfortunately, Emeka doesn’t have sympathy for himself.” According to him, his company leased the property to the actor on June 1, 2007. Before then, he said he had never heard of Emeka’s name as his children were the ones that told him that he’s a Nollywood actor. He said: “I never knew this gentleman from Adam. He just came to my house with his wife and I was worried about who he was and my children came to me, saying, Emeka Ike, we know him daddy; he is a nice gentleman. That is how I fell into his hands.” He said the recommendation from his children made him enter into the lease agreement of five years which was to expire in 2012. According to him, “he was supposed to pay for the first two years N2 million each per annum and the subsequent three years N3 million per annum. The total rent for that period of five years should be N13 million. He paid N2 million for the first year and never paid again until three years later when he paid another N2.5 million. Even this N2.5 million was a tug of war before he could pay it. So, out of N13 million, he paid only N4.5 million and the balance should be N 8.5 million.”
