Senate orders arrest of Globacom CEO, 29 others over 'missing' N30trn!

The Senate Joint Committee on Customs, Excise and Tariff and Marine Transport had summoned over 60 executives of the companies for questioning, but only 33 showed up.

The Senate has ordered the police to arrest the Chief Executives of 30 firms after they failed to appear before the upper chamber over the ongoing probe of national revenue loss.

The Senate Joint Committee on Customs, Excise and Tariff and Marine Transport had summoned over 60 executives of the companies for questioning, but only 33 were said to have shown up.

The companies were allegedly involved in the N30 trillion-revenue loss in the maritime sector.

At the committee's meeting on Friday, August 4, the Chairman, Senator Hope Uzodunma, said by shunning the summon, the companies disrespected the National Assembly.

He said, "It is no longer going to be business as usual.

"We have directed the Nigeria Police to arrest the heads of the firms and bring them before us.

"If we can suspend our recess as lawmakers to see to the end of this investigation, I see no reason why the firms that have been indicted will not come to defend themselves."

The companies include Globacom mobile, Crown Flour Mills, British American Tobacco, CCECC, Dana Group, Olam Int. Ltd., Hong Xing Steel Co. Ltd., Visafone, African Wire, Star Comments and Allied Ltd. and Aarti Steel Nig. Ltd.

Others are Abyem-Diva Int. Ltd., Gagasel Int., Friesland Capina, Etco Nig., Edic Chemicals and Allied Distributors, De United Foods, Don Climax Group, Skill G Nig. Ltd., Premium Seafood and La Rauf Nig. Ltd.

Also involved are Standard Metallurgical Co. Ltd., Kam Industries, IBG Investment Ltd., Orazulike Trading Co. Ltd., Popular Foods Ltd., A-Kelnal Integrated & Logistics Services, African Industries, African Tiles & Ceramics and ZTE Nigeria.

Fareyal also hit back on Twitter to accuse Khan of cheating also.

“I'm sure you left your family because they robbed you? Not because of me. Stop making false things up,” the model wrote.

“Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up amir."

“After all these years. I've always defending a cheat, always stuck around for him, always had his back. And I'm called a gold digger?

LOL! He's given me jack s**t -- I pay house bills and bills for my daughter myself! It's like I'm a single mother while he's out messing around. And he has the nerve to blast me like that?

“The amount of evidence I have on you. It can destroy you. But since I loved you at one point in my life. I'll just let it go.

“I'm not the one who's been in the papers every month with my pants down. Cheater!

“You have actually lost it. Wtf where do u make this stuff up from? And maybe your boxing career is finished because you're an adulterer."

“At the end of the day I can hold my head high knowing I've given this marriage my 100% while amir clearly hasn't. Bad company.

“Bad role model, always around women , alcohol and then he calls himself a Muslim and runs a charity.

“I'm sorry to all the fans & family hurt by this. But amir did not need to do stupid tweets accusing others when he's in the wrong. #guilty

“I think he just needs some attention because boxing hasn't been going well for him so he's just been acting up #30yearoldbaby.

“Sometimes people don't like it when you give them a taste of their own medicine.”

Survivor gives account on how attack happened..Anambra Church Killings!

A man who survived the Ozubulu, Anambra State Catholic Church massacre has narrated how the attack happened.

One of the survivors of the senseless massacre at the St. Philips Catholic Church in Ozubulu, Anambra State, Stephen Ohamadike, has recalled how the gunmen stormed the church and killed many of the innocent worshippers.

Ohamadike who spoke with Vanguard Newspaper said that the gunmen entered the church around 6.45 am as worshippers were about to begin 'prayer of the faithful'.

Narrating how the incident happened, Ohamadike said:

“Those of us who were to say the prayers of the faithful had just assembled at the altar and I had number two, which meant that I was to say the prayer for Nigeria.

Suddenly, I saw someone who was putting on a cap shooting indiscriminately inside the church. There was pandemonium and in the midst of the confusion, I just lay down on the floor.

The officiating priest and the Mass servers quickly left the altar and the Mass came to an abrupt end.

I counted 11 dead people and many who were wounded. I used the vehicle belonging to Pa Ikegwuonu to take him and his wife and others to Evans Hospital where the doctors advised us to go to the teaching hospital.

I used the car to convey many other people to the hospital before I came back to Amakwa.”

According to other eyewitnesses, trouble started for worshippers during the 6 am Mass when the gunmen rode into the church in a Lexus SUV, while one of them entered the church and shot at close range an elderly man who was later identified as Pa Ikegwuonu, while others remained in the vehicle outside.

It was learned that after killing the old man, the gunman opened fire on other worshippers as those who tried to flee were cut down by the gunmen outside the church.

Pa Ikegwuonu was said to be the father of Chief Aloysius Ikegwuonu who built and donated the church to the Nnewi Diocese, while his wife was also shot on the right arm and is still on admission at an undisclosed hospital.

It was gathered that the gunmen were looking for Chief Aloysius following an alleged drug deal in South Africa, where he reportedly duped his business partners and fled with the money to Nigeria.

It was gathered that he had returned to the village on Saturday with the aim of holding a Thanksgiving service in the church the next day but left later in the day.

She is always critical about the things that she does and even how she looks like. She always feels that she is not good enough for you.

There is something about the Aries woman that makes her feel like she is always running out of time. She frequently rushes into things so you may get intimidated in the beginning especially if you think you are still not ready for a new relationship. If you do fall in love and you have a relationship with an Aries woman, expect that she will be domineering.
If you are not the type to succumb to her domineering ways, the Aries girlfriend may not be the best for you. She may be temperamental in the beginning, but the more you get to know her, the more that she will show her sensitive side.

Taurus (Ranked 09)

The Taurus may be someone who will not enter the relationship willingly. She loves her freedom, and she knows that she does not need anyone to complete her. If she does start to like someone, she may tend to distance herself away from that person in the beginning until she realizes that she has liked that character well. A relationship with a Taurus can be particularly slow, and if it ends, it is going to break your heart. If it is your fault, except the fact that you are never going to get a second chance. If you want her to stick around, make sure that you will never let her go.

Cancer (Ranked 08)

If you would like to be pampered and cared for, you need a Cancerian girlfriend. You can expect that she will be wearing her heart on her sleeve all the time. You know exactly how she is feeling. You do not want to upset her, but she tends to become upset easily over the smallest things. She is not very trusting, and it will take a long time for you to get her trust but just seconds to break it. She cares for you, but at times, she does not want to show it though it is evident. Her contradicting actions may seem confusing for you, but the moment that you get her, she will do her best not to break your heart.

Leo (Ranked 07)

The Gemini is the sign of “twins.” Expect that a Gemini woman will always have two sides. One side will show her funny, outgoing self. This is the part that you would love to be with all the time, but her other side will show how pessimistic they are about the things they go through. For a relationship with a Gemini to work, you need to love both sides and accept both sides even if the girl herself does not want to take her bad side. A Gemini girl will not usually give second chances, and for sure, you will not be getting a third chance.

Libra (Ranked 04)

She will defend you to the best of her abilities too.

Pisces (Ranked 02)

9 Ways to Make Your Crush Fall In Love With You..MUST READ!

 

When it comes to love, the pursuit of your crush can be exhausting and quite a bit of hard work. It can be downright confusing whether you have your eye on someone at work or a person you’ve known for years.
But how do you turn the tables and make them come to you?

These might not work for everyone, but if they’re into you at least one should be enough to spark their interest and get them messaging you, instead of the other way round.

1. Stop Chasing

How do you expect someone to pursue you if you’re already after them? Usually, one person is the chaser at the start of a relationship so give them a chance to go after you by backing off a little. This doesn’t mean cold-shoulder type behavior, just ease up on the attention you give them. This gives them space and time to not only miss you but make them realize how they feel about you too.
And, if they don’t come for you at least you know they’re not interested.

2. Exude Confidence

We’re naturally drawn to people with confidence, so appearing out-going and self-assured is going to arouse their intrigue and make them want to spend time with you.
Remember faith doesn’t equal volume or arrogance. You can seem just as confident by having a huge smile on your face and being comfortable and friendly with others as being the loudest person in the room.

3. Play Hard to Get

It’s hard not to get excited when someone you like shows interest, but try you may be thankful for it later. Turn down his request for your number, mull over their offer of a date and whatever you do, try to avoid succumbing to their charms. Chances are the more you push them away, the harder they’ll work.
It’s just human nature to want something more, the more we’re denied it so consider you as the prize they get after proving why they should be with you. It’s also a good way to test how much they care because someone who isn’t willing to put in the legwork, isn’t worth your effort.
Just make sure you don’t go too far the other way and end up being plain rude.

4. Don’t Change Your Life

No seriously. How can you expect someone to be interested if your whole life is focused on them? Take a step back and turn your attention on you. See your friends, take that trip you have been talking about and get through that pile of books that have been building up. You might feel like showing them you’ve interested the best way to reel them in, but in fact, often it’s the complete opposite.
Don’t give up your life because you have met someone new, get them to prove why they should get the chance to be in yours. Not only is it healthier and confident to work on yourself, but you’ll also build the world they will want to be part of. Someone who has their passions and hobbies is not only more exciting and fun; it proves you’re not dependent on a partner to have a life, which makes you even more desirable.

5. Let Them Meet The Real You

Never hide who you are, especially when it comes to your love life. We might present the best versions of ourselves when around someone we fancy, but changing or lying about your character or life is the completely wrong attitude to take. Not only is it going to lead to problems down the line, but you’re also going to come off as fake and insincere.
If they don’t like the real you now they won’t like them down the line, so they might as well meet them as soon as possible.

6. Don’t Call or Text

This should be an easy one – let them be the one to message and call first. You don’t want them to think you’re watching your phone and waiting for a message so, let calls go to answer the phone and hold for a while before responding. We all have that nervous feeling when you’re waiting for a message back, and then longer it goes on the more they will question whether you’re interested.
When you do answer, keep it short and sweet, limiting your contact will only make them want it more. When it comes to social media posts try to stay calm and don’t overdo the likes – it’s the easiest giveaway that you’re stalking their profiles online, which can come across a little desperate despite the fact we all do it.

7. Keep Some Mystery

Lying your cards on the table can cut out the games, but it’s also a sure fire way to stop them chasing you. Pursuing someone you like is driven by intrigue, and the big question “do they like me?.”
If you want to be pursued, maintain an air of mystery and try to give as little away about your feelings as possible. That intrigue will ramp up the sexual tension between you and only make them desire you more.

8. Make Them Crave Your Attention

Whether it’s making them wait a week for a coffee, responding to texts a few hours after or just being unavailable, making someone fight for your attention is only going to make them chase you more. They will begin craving your attention, and the more you make them work for it, the more they’ll want it.
This can seem cruel, but it’s part of human nature that we desire the unattainable. They should feel grateful that you took time out your day to see them, not assume you would always drop everything to see them.

9. Avoid Being Too Nice

You’ve heard of treating them mean, keep them keep? Well, it still works, and it’s important to consider this if you’re trying to get someone to pursue you. Gushing over their new haircut, complimenting their dress sense and being a huge ego boost is not going to get a date, and in fact, it may put them off altogether. Try to be aloof and cold when around them and hold back when it comes to what you like about them.
Chances are quite a bit, so just try and be restrained. Not only is this a sexy and intriguing way to behave, but it’s also perfect for drawing them in. They’ll wonder why you’re not paying them attention and attempt to impress you instead.
