Presidential villa across the world
Stop using APGA logo to campaign for Jonathan,PDP warns APGA
Stop Using APGA's Logo To Campaign For Jonathan, PDP Warns APGA by 1United1: 7:10am On Aug 29
The
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has called on the All Progressive Grand
Alliance (APGA) to desist from using the logos of the APGA to campaign
for President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term presidential election.
Also, the party has asked the Inspector General of Police (IG), Sulieman Abba to compel the party to stop the fraudulent campaign strategy of APGA, where it prints the President’s campaign posters with the APGA flags and logo.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja yesterday, the State Chairman of PDP in Anambra State, Chief Ken Emeakayi also complained about the rally expected to hold tomorow in Awka, the State capital tagged, “APGA Jonathan, Jonathan APGA Rally”, arguing that it is against the Electoral Act as two political parties don't field a candidate for elections.
According to the PDP state chairman, “You cannot campaign for any political party with the logo and pictures of another political party’s candidate. This is fraud. If you want to support President Jonathan, do it, but not to print the President’s picture with the logo of another political party.”
Emeakayi said the billboards that litter the streets of Awka and the tomorrow rally are all deceptions as the President is not a member of the APGA, explaining that what is happening is against the Electoral Law 2010 (as amended).
He explained that, “the action of APGA by campaigning and printing the billboards of President Jonathan by using the APGA colours and Logo is against section 37 of the Electoral Act. This is capable of nullifying the electoral chances of the President as a PDP candidate in the 2015 presidential elections.
“This is intentional knowing fully well that President Jonathan and Vice-President Namadi Sambo are not members of APGA, yet APGA as a political party is printing Jonathan’s posters and billboards on the logo and colour of APGA.
“By the action of APGA National Chairman hoisting and distributing Jonathan’s pictures and with his own pictures under the APGA logo is fraudulent and deceptive as it would confuse Nigerians and make them think that President Jonathan would be contesting the 2015 presidential elections on the platform of APGA as a political party”, he stated.
According to the Anambra State PDP chairman, the most annoying part of it is the Saturday August 30 rally tagged: “Join Jonathan Journey” with the inscription “Jonathan, APGA, APGA Jonathan,” with the pictures of the President, the National Chairman of APGA, Victor Umeh and Governor Willy Obiano of Anambra State, under the APGA colours and logo.
On why he dragged the Inspector General of Police to court, he said, “we want him to be alive to his duty by stopping this fraud by APGA as two political parties cannot sponsor a candidate. It is either you are a member of PDP or you join the PDP, as there is nothing as a joint candidate in the operating 2010 Electoral Act as contained in the letters of section 37.
Section 37 of the 2010 Electoral Act states that it is only a political party that sponsors candidates and not two political parties.

Chris Oyakhilomes wife files for a divorce
The
dissolution of the marriage between Christ Embassy Church founder,
Pastor Christian Oyakhilome, and his wife, Rev. Anita Odegwa Oyakhilome,
has entered the final phase, TheCable can report. The wife is
seeking divorce on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour” and
“adultery”. She outlined several allegations against the pastor which
TheCable cannot publish for legal reasons.
The divorce case, with Suit No FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, UK, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors, a full-service law firm with expertise in commercial law and a strong consumer focus in family, wills and estate, personal injury law and medical negligence.
Efforts to reconcile the popular couple, whose church is one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and has branches all over world, have failed. They have two teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn. Oyakhilome is the president of Believers’ Love World Inc, the registered name of the Christian ministry, while his wife is the vice-president.
The pastor, according to an elder of the church, has denied allegations of adultery and believes his wife is being influenced by “bad friends” who are intent on destroying their home. While Anita believes she has been relegated in the scheme of things in the church, her husband has reportedly accused her of trying to usurp power and authority above her seniors in the ministry.
Sources told TheCable that the pastor had been making efforts to avoid divorce in the hope that the wife would eventually have a change of mind. However, TheCable can also report that the decree nissi was served on the charismatic pastor in his hotel room during a recent visit to the UK. Decree nissi, in legal terms, is like a yellow card in a football match which is a precursor to a red card (“decree absolute”) if no new evidence is provided to stall proceedings. Church insiders said Oyakhilome had been hoping for rapprochement, but he was left with no option than to receive the papers when the lawyers cornered him at his hotel in London. The decree absolute, which will effectively end the marriage, is expected to be issued soon while terms of the divorce will be worked out by the lawyers on both sides.

military planes bombed Gwoza
The Nigerian military yesterday, August 28, carried out
airstrikes against the dreaded Boko Haram sect’s positions in
Limankara and Gwoza in Borno State.
This is as hundreds of troops also mobilised to the frontline in Gulak,
Adamawa State against the insurgents.
According to Daily Trust report, a resident of Gwoza, Mamman
Madobi, said three military planes were sighted hovering and after a
few minutes, they heard sounds of 15 explosions in the direction of
Madagali, Limankara and Gwoza.
Other residents added that several armoured vehicles were deployed
in Gulak between Wednesday and yesterday while military trucks
conveyed soldiers to the town.
The Army Public Relations Officer, Captain Jafaru Nuhu could not
comment on the issue.
This is coming barely a week after Boko Haram leader, Abubakar
Shekau, released a video claiming to have created an Islamic
caliphate in Gwoza which was seized by the insurgents earlier this
month.
Responding to the Boko Haram’s claims, the Nigerian military
described it as ‘empty ‘.
The town of Gwoza was said to have been seized by the militants and
all efforts to reclaim the town by the military had proved futile.
During the attack on Gwoza, BokoHaram allegedly killed about a 100
people , including the wife of the town’s emir, his brother, and the
chief Imam of Gwoza.
Several towns have been reportedly seized by Boko Haram. The
insurgents have captured Limankara and some areas under Madagali
LGA of Adamawa State after assaults on security formations. Other
towns which have been captured by Boko Haram in recent times
include Buni Yadi in Yobe State and the Police Mobile Training Camp
in nearby Limankara village.

A Brazilian town made up of single women searching for husbands
Noiva do Cordeiro is home to more than 600 women, most of them under 35
Some are already married but their husbands must live and work elsewhere
But that means there is a shortage of eligible suitors to woo young women
It's like the opening gambit of a bad Hollywood romance. A Brazilian town populated only by women has made an appeal for eligible bachelors.
More than 600 women live in the town of Noiva do Cordeiro, south-east Brazil. And most of them are aged between 20 and 35 years old.
Now they have extended an invitation to potential suitors. But don't start packing your bags just yet - any men who go have to understand that this corner of the Brazilian countryside is very much a woman's world.
Some of Noiva de Cordeiro's women are already married and have families, but their husbands - and any sons over 18 - are made to work away from home and only allowed to return at the weekends.
It means girl power rules in the rural community, with women in charge of every aspect of life - from farming to town planning and even religion.
And residents say their town is that much the better for it.
'There are lots of things that women do better than men. Our town is prettier, more organised, and far more harmonious than if men were in charge,' said Rosalee Fernandes, 49.
'When problems or disputes arise, we resolve them in a woman's way, trying to find consensus rather than conflict.
'We share everything, even the land we work on. Nobody competes with anyone here. It's all for one, and one for all.
'The whole town came together recently to help buy a huge widescreen TV for our community centre so we can all watch soap operas together.
'And there's always time to stop and gossip, try on each other's clothes and do each other's hair and nails.'
'There's always time to stop and gossip': The town's residents say life there is much better without men
But while none of the residents of Noiva do Cordeiro would have it any other way, it has left them with just one problem.
Nelma Fernandes, 23, admits it's impossible for her neighbours - renowned in the region as strikingly beautiful - to find a would-be spouse.
'Here, the only men we single girls meet are either married or related to us, everyone is a cousin. I haven't kissed a man for a long time,' she said.
'We all dream of falling in love and getting married. But we like living here and don't want to have to leave the town to find a husband.'
'We all dream of falling in love': However their rules have made it difficult for single women to find husbands
'But men need to live according to our rules': And the women of Noiva do Cordeiro aren't interested in leaving
The lack of eligible batchelors has now led the community's many single young ladies for make an appeal for interested men - but only those willing to adapt to living in a women's world.
Ms Fernandes said: 'We'd like to get to know men who would leave their own lives and come to be a part of ours.
'But first they need to agree to do what we say and live according to our rules.'
Noiva do Cordeiro was born in the hills near Belo Vale, in Minas Gerais state, after founder Maria Senhorinha de Lima was branded an adulterer after leaving a man she had been forced to marry.
She was chased out of town in 1891 after the Catholic church excommunicated her and the next five generations of her family when she shacked up with another suitor.
Shunned by the local population, she and other women who subsequently went to live with them were vilified as loose women and prostitutes, causing them to isolate themselves from the outside world.
In 1940, an evangelical pastor, Anisio Pereira, took one of the women, aged 16, to be his wife and founded a church in the growing community.
However, he proceeded to impose strict puritanical rules, banning them from drinking alcohol, listening to music, cutting their hair or using any type of contraceptive.
When Anisio died in 1995, the women decided never again to let a man dictate how they should live. And one of the first things they did was to dismantle the male-biased organised religion he had set up.
