5years I Got Married And I Still Dont Feel Close To My Husband - Woman Crys Out

 
I have being married for 5years and sadly I still don't feel so close to my husband. I got the bible says when two come together they become one. That is that become friends, right? But sadly it doesn't feel like it. My hubby is the kind that likes FULL time respect; greet me when you wake up in the morning, great me when I come back from work, (yes wives please greet your hubbys oo) am heading somewhere with this please don't judge me yet, don't go out without telling me, don't put your hands in my pocket, what are you looking for, don't talk .

While am talking (that is even understandable tho) many more I can't mention. Don't tap me on my shoulders if you want to talk to me, don't, don't, don't.

He also isn't romantic, he hates me been romantic around him, it gets him upset. Its been 4years plus and we still argue ALOT. I thought they said the first 3years is the time of misunderstandings but its 4years now and still nothing has really changed.

Sometimes i try to make him talk maybe am not doing something right, and he just always seems to find a fault. Either I don't have respect or I don't have respect or I don't obey him everything calls to respect. Well it's not like I don't respect him or I just wake up in the morning and start disrespecting him. No, it's always in the cause of an argument so while am trying to justify myself or win the case, the disrespect sorts of crops it's way in, but fews hours later you will see me back all over him, trying to make peace but by then I have lost all my worth. He is way closer to his mum and sister than even to me. He prefers to Share all his secrets with them than with me.

Last two weeks was like the saddest day of my life in this marriage journey. He bought a car for his mum, he didn't tell me, the car slept in the house over night I didn't know, on my way back from my outing I saw my hubby in a new car driving down with his mum, In amazement I came down to ask whose car it was and how come I was kept in the dark, then his mum said "it's my car didn't you know?" I felt like a stranger all over again. I called his mum on the phone few mins after I left the embarrassing scene to ask why her son didn't share the good news to me knowing fully well I'm not against him buying her a car. And she said my husband said i didn't greet my hubby the night before and also that morning. Yes I remember not greeting him the night before cause we had little issue and i just thought to do small shakara, then my not greeting him that morning wasn't intentional, I even apologized immediately my husband cautioned me and I thought we were fine. But I guess we weren't. This is where friendship comes in marriage. No matter what your partner does as long as it's not adultery or some other serious things I know some women can do.) I feel you should still be able to still give her the respect due. Abi I really wish out vind could grow stronger, it's bin 4years and my hubby does not know my dress size, or shoe size or favorite artist or favorite food, my choice of music, my choice of anything, he hardly laughs at my joke, I can't tickle him or throw a pillow at him he will term it as lack of respect, I can't call him "ode"while joking he will say am rude, It's plenty ooo. I thought marriage was more you both becoming friends. Don't you think life is too short to be rigid ALL the time. My husband is very rigid it scares me a lot if I would be able to go on for long.. I love him very much than anything in the world but he doesn't feel that way or that much for me. Not like he doesn't love me. But I think I love him more. So we are probably not on the same page. i want to be the one he can run to any day anytime, share his secrets with, want to be the one that has the power to put the best smile on his face, but each time i try, i fail. WHY?? Is there still hope.

Anyone in the house who has testimonies of marriage getting better after 4years. Cause i feel if you fail the first 3years you may never get it right. Mhen ladies you got to get it RIGHT from the beginning to avoid stories..

FG May Not Be Able To Pay Salaries From October - CBN Governor

 

Nigerians would be forced to pay general taxes which would not exclude petroleum products from October if the economic condition in the country does not improve

The CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, in a presentation told senators that the country’s economy has been characterised by external shocks, sharp decline in commodity prices and geo-political tensions along important global trading routes among others – The IMF says it expects Nigeria’s economy to contract by 1.8 percent this year, after having forecast in April a 2.3 percent expansion

The federal government might not be able to pay salaries of its workers with effect from October this year if the current economy decline continues.

According to Vanguard, this disclosure was made by the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele on Tuesday, July 19, during a closed-door meeting with senators over the state of the economy.

The CBN governor who told senators that the economy of the country was in a bad state said if the present situation in the country continued, Nigerians would be forced to pay general taxes which would not exclude petroleum products.

In the meeting which lasted for an hour, Emefiele presented a comprehensive account of the economy in the last one year which, according to him, had been characterised by external shocks, including sharp decline in commodity prices, geo-political tensions along important global trading routes and tightening monetary policy in the United States.

After the presentation, some senators asked a host of questions and raised issues concerning the banking system, the stagnant economic growth and the gradual rise in inflation among others, which the CBN governor responded to.

Following an exhaustive response by both the governor and his team, the Senate acknowledged that these are, indeed, difficult times all over the world and not just in Nigeria. It also backed the monetary policies of the CBN, noting that at the end of the day, such policies would help to increase local production, create jobs in the country.

Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday, July 19, said a combination of plunging oil revenues and weakened investor confidence will push the Nigerian economy into recession. The IMF said it expects Nigeria’s economy to contract by 1.8 percent this year, after having forecast in April a 2.3 percent expansion.

The decline in the nation’s economy has been attributed to the renewed bombing of pipelines by militants in the Niger Delta region and the 70 per cent decline in oil prices from about $116 per barrel in June 2014 to about $30 per barrel earlier in the year.

Buhari Appoints Another Northerner As Chief of Defence Intelligence

 

Following the myriad of security challenges facing the country particularly the resurgent militancy in the Niger Delta, the federal government yesterday appointed a new Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI) for the armed forces.

He is Air Vice Marshal Mohammed Saliu Usman. He takes over from Major General John Saduana Davies, who had been on acting Capacity since January this year, when the former CDI, Air Vice Marshal Monday Morgan retired.

According to the Armed Forces Statutes, the position of Chief of Defence Intelligence (CDI) which is the apex in the intelligence community is rotational among the services.

With the Army and the Navy serving their terms of three years, it fell to the Airforce but AVM Morgan who got appointed when President Mohammed Buhari assumed office in 2015, was caught up with (ROD), ‘run out date’ and had to retire.

Major General Davies was therefore appointed on acting capacity until a suitable CDI whose recommendation was approved by President Buhari was appointed.

Air Vice Marshal Usman, was until his appointment, the Director of Air Intelligence at NAF HQ. He had served at the Defence Intelligence Agency as the Director of Intelligence before he was appointed Director of Air Intelligence.

In his career, he was an instructor at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji and the Defence Intelligence School, Abuja. He was also a onetime Security Officer to a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Isaac Alfa (rtd).

Speaking while taking over at DIA, AVM Usman expressed gratitude to God and to President Buhari for the appointment promising to work in harmony with the services to ensure peace and security for the nation.

“Eight months ago, I was posted from here (DIA), to the NAF headquarters. I never knew that I will come back this way. I have taken it as an act of God. My doors will be open to all and I will be fair to all and I will carry everybody along”, he told officers and men of the Agency.

“I want to urge all of you to be up and doing because we are in challenging times. Let us put integrity into all that we are doing. Let us consider DIA as one family and let our actions speak for us” he said.

The CDI congratulated Major General Davies for his services to the nation noting that “during the short time he spent as Acting CDI, he took the organization to a very high level adding, “I will continue from where he stopped.

Read Why Northern Politicians Are Angry With Buhari

 

Dr. Junaid Mohammed, a sharp critic of former President Jonathan, has bared the mind of most northern politicians on the Buhari led administration.

In a telephone interview with reporters, Junaid expresses disgust at the way the man the North supported runs the presidency.

Hear Junaid yourself:

“As far as we are concerned, the president’s principal adviser, his nephew, is one nonentity called Mamman Daura.

“Then there is his Chief of Staff [Abba Kyari], who was brought up by Mamman Daura.

“And the scoundrel who is the Secretary to the Government of Federation [Babachir David].

“Then most of the incompetent ministers, whom are not cut out to work harmoniously with the legislature.

“And of course, there is the unfortunate additional bad luck of Buhari being surrounded by his own relations who are not politicians.

“For instance, Mamman Daura, virtually runs the government. He has veto power.

“There have been instances when Buhari gave written approval for things to be done, and that man threw the paper away.

“He has become such a tyrant in the Presidency. He is a nephew to Buhari.

“His father was the elder brother of Buhari.

“Although their age difference is about three years, his father is an elder brother to Buhari and they grew up together.

“[Abba Kyari] was brought up by Mamman Daura. His father left him with Mamman Daura to go to Borno, his original state where he was a village head.

“And for all intents and purposes, he is a son of Mamman Daura. He is now the chief of staff to Buhari.

“Then [Kabir Daura] the personal assistant to Buhari himself, is the son of Mamman Daura.

“And the girl [Aisha Abubakar] who was picked out of nowhere from Sokoto. She is not a member of the APC. She has nothing to do with anybody.

“She was picked and made a minister by Mamman Daura and Buhari because her mother is Buhari’s sister.

“So it is really a contradiction for Buhari to have, for example a nephew of his, the son of his elder sister as the Minister of Water Resources [Hadi Sirika].

“He has another niece of his, the elder sister of [Sirika], who is now a national commissioner in the INEC, Amina Zakari.

“Buhari nominated her even before he became president when Jonathan asked him to nominate somebody to represent the North West in INEC.

“He chose that woman.

“Unfortunately for the country and for Buhari’s legacy himself, he has packed the Presidency with his own relations.

“There are many people who are his own cousins in the Presidency.

“In my own understanding of history and politics, this is what you call nepotism. And if you are against corruption, you cannot be nepotistic,” Junaid lamented.

Lionel Messi Goes To Jail, Fined £1.7m

 

Barcelona football star Lionel Messi has been sentenced to 21 months in prison over a tax fraud case in Spain.

However, the striker - generally considered the best in the world currently - is unlikely to face any time in jail as a term of under two years in duration, for a non-violent offence, usually results in a period of probation under Spanish law.

The court in Barcelona found the Argentina player and his father, who handles his financial affairs, guilty of three offences.

Jorge Messi was also handed a 21-month prison term and fine of €1.7m (£1.4m).

His son, who is understood to earn £26m in annual salary under his current club contract alone and is said to be worth at least £240m, was told to pay €2m (£1.7m).

Both men have the right to take their sentences to appeal.

They were accused of using tax havens in Uruguay and Belize to hide more than £3m in earnings from image rights from the Spanish tax authorities.

The 29-year old footballer told his trial he knew nothing of how his money was managed and admitted signing documents without reading them.

He told the court last month: "The truth is no, the truth is no, I didn't know.

"As my dad explained earlier I just dedicated myself to playing football, I put my trust in my father, in the lawyers who had decided to manage this thing."

Messi's lawyers said he never examined a series of contracts between 2007 and 2009 which dealt with the income from image rights with companies including Adidas, Pepsi-Cola, Danone, Procter and Gamble, Banco Sabadell and the Kuwait Food Company.

He made a voluntary payment of £3.8m in August 2013 to cover unpaid tax and interest.

Messi - who has been voted World Player of the Year five times - confirmed his international retirement in the run-up to the verdict after Argentina crashed to a defeat against Chile in the final of the Copa America

Invisible Moon: FG Redeclare Wednesday and Thursday Public Holiday

 

The Federal Government has declared Wednesday and Thursday public holidays to mark the eid-il-fitr. Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau in a statement issued Tuesday in Abuja said this followed “the directive by the President General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar III, the Sultan of Sokoto, to the effect that the Ramadan fast continues today (Tuesday) as a result of the non-sighting of the moon”. He said the Federal Government has now declared Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th July, 2016 as Public Holiday.

The Federal Government had earlier declared Tuesday, 5th and Wednesday, 6th July, 2016 as public holiday to mark the Eid-el Fitri celebrations. The statement was signed by the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Bassey Akpanyung.

“In making the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, the Honourable Minister of Interior, Lt Gen. (Rtd) Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau, urged Nigerians to use this period of sober reflections to ensure harmony, unity and peaceful co-existence, while giving full support to the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari in his sustained effort to pursue socio-economic and political growth of the nation.

People Are Trying To Turn Buhari Against Me - Fr. Mbaka Crys Out

 

It no longer news that the Catholic Priest of Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, said Thursday that some Nigerians were trying to cause disaffection between him and Buhari. Said contrary to earlier media reports that he made negative predictions concerning the President’s ill health, he merely alluded to the reported claims by doctors.
    He said Nigerian doctors had expressed fears over the chances of President Muhammadu Buhari recovering from his illness.‎ But, according to him, he prayed against that.
    The priest, who is in charge of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria, spoke through his media Chief, Barr Ike Maximus Ugwuoke.
    According to him, “‎our attention has been drawn to a report in a section of the media alleging that Rev Fr Ejike Mbaka the Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria said that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has slim chances of surviving from his ill health.
    “The true fact is that there were media reports, making fuss about Mr President’s health and insinuating Mr President‘s slim chances of recovering from his ill health, published immediately the president went on vacation.
    “Fr Mbaka referring to the said media report during his prayers for the sick in the ministry prayed with the worshippers of the ministry for Mr President’s healing and health after which there were lots of testimonies from the sick that were healed of blindness, elephantiasis, deafness, cancer, tumor and all other diverse healings at the end of the prayer session.”
    He quoted Mbaka as saying: “They say the sickness is E.N.T. When it affects, the ear, it affects the nose and affects the neck. We pray for our President and any one that is suffering such a dangerous disease.
    “We lift our healing hands for divine healing upon our president. Wherever he is, may he be healed in Jesus name.
    “The doctors in Nigeria are nursing fear that he may not survive but we have a healing God. His name is specialist in impossibilities.”
    He added that some ‎persons were nose-diving in the affairs of the ministry with a view to causing unnecessary rift between the ministry and the presidency.

Recession: Food Thieves Invades Kwara State

 

The resultant effects of the stinging hardship occasioned by the present economic recession in the country, the spate of insecurity is rising and taking a tinge of the ridiculous by the day.

    In Kwara State, cooking a pot of soup is now an invitation to robbers, as cases of eagle-eyed hungry men absconding with cooked food still on the fire is now a daily occurrence.

    The incident is widespread in areas without perimeter fencing and among women who cook or have opted to cook with coal pots. At each of such areas such as Tanke, Basin, Sango, Offa Garage, and Kilanko, the incident according to The Guardian investigations occurred over five times in just a week.

    According to Alhaja Hamidalat Olawale at Sango, “I was cooking around 5.00p.m. in readiness for the breaking of the fast for the day. It was beans and I decided to use coal pot at the open backyard. I had added all the food condiments and was waiting for the broth to dry up. But to my greatest surprise, I did not see the pot of the beans again.

    “I was shocked discovering this. What amazed me was that the thief did not come for it before it was ready; he or she came when the food was ready and we were already salivating, meaning the person must have been closely monitoring me.”

    Another victim, an undergraduate of the University of Ilorin, Anita Bazuaye, said it was her pot of soup that disappeared beside her window.

    “It was painful because as a student, it was difficult for me to get money again for another soup. In fact, when I managed to start cooking again, I did not leave the place until I had securely packed the pot inside my room.”

    Reacting to the development, the Police spokesman, Ajayi Okasanmi (ASP), said no formal report to that effect had come to him or anyone within the state command, but warned that “it is a serious matter and we will not take it lightly with anyone caught in the act. The Penal Code frowns at theft and we will treat anyone in the act accordingly.”

    A former chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, Emmanuel Ayeoribe, said the development could not be divorced from the non-payment of workers’ salaries.

    “If nothing is urgently done to commence regular payment of salaries, very soon, people will start leaping over the fence to steal food, not just from unfenced quarters,” he warned.

Buhari Laments: Please Help Me Beg N'Delta Militant, They Use High-Tech Weapons

 

Buhari has asked leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to help him pacify rampaging militants in the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Lamenting the effect of attacks on oil installations, the president said the country does not need such a distraction at this point in time.

He said the militants were in possession of sophisticated equipment, adding that unlike the Boko Haram sect which has one faction, the militants are in so many groups, suggesting that government has been having challenges relating with them.

Buhari was speaking on Friday, at the breaking of fast dinner with the APC leadership at the presidential villa in Abuja.

“I honestly don’t know how many factions the militants are in the Niger Delta compared to the north-east where you have the Boko Haram,” he said.

“The technology being deployed by the militants to destroy oil installations is high-tech, the way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem. It is affecting development.

“No insurance company will want to insure installations that will end up being blown up and no banks will want to finance such installations.

“Those of you who have friends among the leadership or even the militants themselves should plead with them in the name of God ‎Almighty to take it easy.

“We are in a very difficult time, so we have to organise ourselves. Anybody that says he has any other country than Nigeria should go out and see.”

He expressed delight that the primary election in Edo state was successful, and said close attention would be paid to Ondo state, which is next in line.

“The successful conduct of APC primaries in Edo state gave me a new hope,” he said.

“We are going to watch Ondo very closely, we have to ensure that the vote of the people count.”

John Oyegun, national chairman of the party, said the APC was pleased with the achievements of the president so far.

Oyegun, who acknowledged that Nigeria was passing through a difficult time, said “change does not come cheap or easily”.

“Things must change. Those things don’t come easily. Nigeria is clearly a difficult nation to govern,’’ he said.

Those at the event were former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar; Ghali Na’aba, former speaker of the house of representatives; Segun Oni, the party’s deputy national chairman (south), and Timipre Sylva, former Bayelsa state governor.

Chaos As Federal Medical Center Drags 121 Dead Bodies To Court

 

Mild drama played out at the Federal High Court in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State yesterday, when the court clerk read out a case between the Federal Medical Centre, Ovom in Yenagoa and 121 unclaimed corpses.

Lawyers and those who were in the courtroom were still in shock when Justice Ajiya Nganjiwa sought to douse the jolted occupants of the courtroom.

“Now everybody is afraid because they have mentioned corpses,” the judge joked.

But the lawyer to FMC, Bayelsa, Mr. K. Clement, prayed the court to grant his 14-paragraph application requesting that the hospital should be given the go-ahead to give the unclaimed corpses a mass burial.

After listening to the argument backing the application, the judge concurred, stating that it was “time to allow the dead rest in peace”.

“The application is hereby granted for all the 121 abandoned corpses to be buried. All agencies and bodies involved must comply with this order,” he said.

The federal hospital had argued that the corpses would get a mass burial if the relatives of the deceased did not collect them.

THISDAY gathered that many of the bodies had been abandoned for over 10 years, thereby blocking space for fresh corpses.

Dr. Dennis Allagoa, Chief Medical Director (CMD) of FMC, Yenagoa, had earlier explained that the decision, among others, was taken to create space in the mortuary as fresh corpses were being brought in on a daily basis.

He also cited pollution of the health facility as reason for the decision to evacuate the cadavers in the next three weeks.

“We issued a 21-day public notice because we noticed that corpses have littered the entire mortuary and there was no space to take in new corpses.

“As the decay goes on in the mortuary, the corpses have become a threat to human life because chemical and biochemical effects are on-going.

“So we want to clean up the area so that people can enjoy the benefit of a good site and space to bring in their corpses,” the CMD said.

Dr. Allagoa added that most of the unclaimed corpses were deposited by security personnel while others were found on the roads and creeks and brought to the morgue.

“A lot of them were corpses that were deposited by the security agents. Most of them are just bones, legs; they are not actually full body parts.

“People that died on the road, they brought them, from the river they brought them. People that died due to militancy, they brought them in their mass and they kept them here,” Allagoa explained.

Gov. Fayose To Aisha Buhari: Take A Trip To US To Prove Your Innocence

 

Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State has challenged Nigeria’s First Lady, Hajia Aisha Buhari, to travel to the United States of America to prove her innocence in the Halliburton scam.

Fayose said this on Wednesday in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, insinuating that Hajia Buhari has been avoiding travelling to the US in order to evade arrest.

Fayose had on Monday said Hajia Buhari was the person indicted by a US Court for transferring $170,000 to indicted US Congressman, Williams Jefferson, in the Halliburton scandal.

Though several sources had said she was not the one, Fayose insisted that Hajia Buhari had more to reveal than she had agreed to.

He said that was why she had refused to travel with her husband, President Muhammadu Buhari, on the three occasions he had visited the US since assuming power.

He also said rather than attend a conference to which she was invited, Hajia Buhari sent Toyin, the wife of the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

Fayose said in the statement by Adelusi on Wednesday that if the President’s wife was certain she was not the one indicted in the Halliburton scandal, she should visit the United States of America to convince Nigerians.

He said: “It is on record that the President has visited USA three times and his wife did not travel with him. Equally, she ought to have visited USA last year September to chair a United Nations programme but she sent wife of the Senate President, Mrs Toyin Saraki to represent her.”

US Govt: Nigeria EFCC Has Authentic Proof To Procecute Aisha Buhari, Atiku And Others

 

The Haliburton scandal involving prominent Nigerians and disgraced congressman Williams J. Jefferson, is still a hot topic

– The United States has said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has all it needs to prosecute all those implicated in the scandal including

– Wife of the president, Mrs Aisha Buhari and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar are one of those mentioned in the scandal

A report by Point Blank news has revealed that the United States of America has furnished the EFCC with all the details it needs to prosecute implicated Nigerians in the Halliburton scandal.

According to the report, Peter Carr, spokesman of the DOJ confirmed the sentencing memo of Jefferson which indicted Mrs Buhari, Atiku and others but declined to speak further on the issue in an email.

Wife of the president, Hajiya Aisha Buhari’s name has featured in the Halliburton scandal time and again.

A source in DOJ also squealed that because Jefferson is currently appealing some of his convictions, DOJ may not want to comment further on the matter.
Meanwhile, the sentencing memorandum obtained from the U.S District Court Eastern District of Virginia listed as exhibit, a wire transfer to congressman Jefferson from an account owned by Mrs Buhari.

US Congressman William Jefferson is currently in jail for the Halliburton scandal

A 16-count indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in Alexandria, charged Jefferson with solicitation of bribes from Nigeria and other places, honest services wire fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, racketeering, and conspiracy.

The indictment alleges that from in or about August 2000 through in or about August 2005, Jefferson, while serving as an elected member of the U.S. House of Representatives, used his position and his office to corruptly seek, solicit and direct that things of value be paid to Jefferson and his family members in exchange for his performance of official acts to advance the interests of people and businesses who offered him the bribes.

The U.S Justice Department had at the time requested the EFCC through a letter dated June 22, 2006 to investigate Mrs Buhari and several others linked with bribing congressman Jefferson.

Mrs Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Dumebi Kachikwu (brother to current minister of petroleum, Ibe, Otunba Fashawe (close associate of former President Olusegun Obasanjo), Aliyu Maigari and others were named in a long chain of Nigerian and American bribe takers that spirited about $45 million—for a technology transfer deal—to the US between 1996 and 2002.

Atiku, chairing of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF), then, was, alongside congressman Jefferson, Siemens, Halliburton, and others, indicted in a U.S. Senate report sent to the EFCC for investigation in 2006.

The U.S Senate report, FBI reports and U.S Court papers on the allegations have remained with the EFCC as the anti-graft agency appears to have developed cold feet in prosecuting the Nigerians involved.

Among other things, U.S Investigators had in 2006 asked the EFCC to investigate bank records of accounts managed by Mrs Buhari. They specifically asked that the bank records should include documents relating to any wire transfers of $10,000 or more.

Jefferson is currently serving jail time in the US,while those linked to his crime are still being sort after for questioning especially in Nigeria.

A source confirmed that while Kachikwu had offered to testify against Jefferson, Mrs Buhari stayed away from the FBI probe and has also stayed away from the U.S.

Interestingly, since President Muhammadu Buhari was elected as Nigeria’s leader, Mrs Buhari has never followed him to his numerous U.S trips.

The U.S Senate report, FBI reports and U.S Court papers on the allegations have remained in the coolers of the EFCC as the agency appears to be lacking the political will to carrying on the prosecution.

"Politicians Are Soiling My Name", Ms Aisha Buhari Alleged Impostor Crys Out

 

Ms Aisha Buhari has finally broken silence on her alleged involvement in the Halliburton bribery scandal.

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose had claimed on Monday that the wife of the President was linked to the scandal which an American member of Congress was jailed for 13 years in 2009.

However, the lady who shares the same name with the President’s wife, said she was not the person referred to in the bribery scandal.
Ms Buhari, speaking exclusively with The Street Journal Tuesday night, said she was never involved in the scandal and linking her name with it was most malicious and wicked.

According to Ms Buhari, the allegation “is like pouring water on a sleeping person. I have never done anything with Halliburton, I don’t know the colour of the company. I am not in the line of business with Halliburton, so linking me with the bribery is wicked”, she fumed.

Speaking further, Ms Buhari said the details contained in the write up, which were displayed side by side with the story were croned from her stolen passport.

“They are desperate to cover their dirty track and link my name with the scandal that they have to first of all steal my passport. My passport was stolen early this year. And to give credibility to their story, details from the passport were used. They should come to the US, to find out If they are curious about the case”, she said.

She reminded her detractors that once a crime is committed in the US such a person is brought to book, noting that she is a member of organisations in the US and she goes in and out of the States at will.

“If somebody commits crime in the US, he or she must face trial. Have you heard I am being tried in the US?”, she queried.

She continued:”Let them stop this malicious allegation against me that they do not have proof of, I hate people who do not cross check facts before talking, they should find out in the US the kind of person I am beause I belong to organisations there”, she said.

“If they think they are politician and can break the law and go free, they should realise that nobody is above the laws of a country including me”, she asserted.
On whether she is going to take legal action, she said:”I am talking with my Lawyers, they will determine that”, she summed.

IBB, who was rumoured to have died in some media, arrived around 3:30pm from Germany in a chartered aircraft with number N550 DR after a medical trip and was wearing ‎a black kaftan and black cap to match.

The former Military President was in company of his son, Aminu, and daughter, Halima, and was welcomed at the airport by his first son, Mohammed, daughter Aisha, former governor, Abdulkadir Kure, Umar Ndanusa and former federal permanent secretary Idris Adamu Kuta.

He was immediately driven straight to his Hilltop Mansion, where one of his personal assistants, hinted that IBB would brief the press later.

Incidentally, in a phone call to a private television station in Lagos a few days ago, IBB had allayed fears of his demise and had said that he would be returning to the country on Sunday.
