Anti-Corruption Group CACOL Throw Blows With ICPC Officials, Forced Access To Submit Petition on By Lanre Neville Yesterday, CACOL, led by Debo Adeniran, its Executive Chairman, was at ICPC office to submit a petition demanding the investigation of Stella Oduah, the Minister of Aviation, over the controversial purchase of two bulletproof armoured cars at a cost of N225 million which is alleged to have been fraudulent and at an inflated price. It would have been a bloodbath yesterday (Wednesday) when the Police at the office of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) shot into the air to disperse members of the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders (CACOL) who had come to submit a petition at the commission’s Ikoyi office in Lagos. However, on their arrival at around 10:30 am, what was to be a march to submit their petition almost turned bloody when the operatives of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) at the gate of the ICPC office tried to prevent the protesters from entering the premises. However, while the group insisted on entering the commission’s office, which they insisted is a public building, a struggle ensured between them and the NSCDC, prompting one of the policemen on duty to shoot into the air to disperse the crowd. However, rather than disperse, members of the group pushed their way through the gate prompting the policeman to fire two more shots which drew the attention of CSP Shintema Binga, the Head of Lagos Operations of the ICPC. Defending the protest march, Adeniran said the action became necessary because the establishing Act of the ICPC is defective in that it did no vest the commission with powers to undertake investigations unless it first receives a petition. “In this affect, we have come here to help you do your work,” he argued. He said although President Goodluck Jonathan has set up a panel to investigate the allegations against the minister, their protest and petition become necessary because “most of the time when President Jonathan sets up his panels, they bury the issue rather than bring it to justice.” He further argued that “since the police has established that there has not been reported cases of threats to the life or intimidation from the minister’s quarters and the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) is also reluctant to release documents relating to the purchase, many things are shrouded in secrecy that have to be uncovered by your agency.” CACOL, therefore, prayed the ICPC to investigate the minister for abuse of office, as well as probe the activities of the NCAA, the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA), Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and other relevant agencies under the Aviation ministry. Adeniran further task the anti-corruption agency to live up yo expectations of Nigerians and always do what's required by law that established them. Binga promised to forward the petition to his superiors at ICPC's head office and necessary actions will be taken.

What the Bible Says About Money (Shocking)

Most people know Sean Hyman from his regular appearances on Fox Business, CNBC, and Bloomberg Television, but what they don’t know is that Sean is a former pastor, and that his secret to investing is woven within the Bible.

Perhaps that can explain why, despite his uncanny ability to predict precise moves in the stock market, Sean is often laughed at for his unique stance on investing.

For example . . . a few months ago Sean appeared on Bloomberg Television. At that time, Best Buy (BBY) was dropping to all-time lows of $16 a share. Sean predicted the stock could go down to $11 a share, and would then quickly rebound to $25 per share, and after that would rally to $40 per share over the next year.

Another commentator on the show actually mocked Sean for his stance, saying “$40 on Best Buy? If that’s the case Apple (AAPL) is going to $1,500. That’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!” (Editor’s Note: At the time, Apple was trading at $650 per share).

By SaharaReporters, New York

A group known as Investigative Reporters In Aviation (IRA) has come out with yet another bombshell on the wanton looting of the nation’s financial resources by the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah, and her disorganization of the entire aviation sector.
Speaking for the group, Mazi Kanayo Ochei, and Kenneth Uti President and Secretary respectively, said their investigations reveal that in addition to the two cars she forced the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to purchase for her, she also forced the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) and the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to buy two each of the same brand of cars.

Stella Oduah spotted in Israel as Pres. Jonathan refuses to see her

Aviation Minster Stella Oduah is currently in Israel where she went to meet President Jonathan to explain her role in the controversial BMW car deal and also take part in the signing of the Bilateral Air Services Agreement with Israel. But according to new reports, the president has not only refused to see Stella Oduah, he's also keeping her out of the signing ceremony which will hold today in Israel.

President Jonathan is said to be uncomfortable with the public outrage surrounding the minister and he doesn't want it to look like he's condoning corruption, especially since he's set up a committee to probe the minister.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) said recently that they don't have any documents relating to the controversial bulletproof cars it bought for the Minister.

Kanye West planning extravangant wedding with fight jets next year

Kim K's third wedding will be as extravagant as her second wedding if her fiance Kanye has his way. Kanye, in a radio interview yesterday with Power 106's morning radio show, hinted at an extravagant wedding to take place next summer.  

When asked for a hint about his upcoming wedding, Kanye said;

"Two words: 'fighter jets'" He went further to explain "Kim knew I was eventually going to ask her to marry me. I just had to get that ring right. I worked with four different jewelers. Three rings were made and only one hit the ringer and that was Lorraine Schwartz's. 'I actually changed the ring the night before. The ring was less than four hours old when I gave it to her.'

"I wanted to marry that girl from the first time I saw her,' he said. 'Kim and I are the perfect balance.''I had to wait through a bunch of other relationships to finally get the chance"
