names and thoughts below cut

377/ Fearful x Mtwn - Beyond The Veil (2023) big heavy crunchy beats :)

---

378/ Machinedrum - 4#TRAX (2023) was rly excited to learn this was a tribute for that #trax, but sadly its not super FT2-ish. all that really registers as such is a very ft2-vol-env-sounding release in "BTHE1" and the shortloops in "VIOLET". still a fun machinedrum jam.

---

379/ Rolando Simmons - Walk on Strawberries (2017) had an itch for some analogy smth and OH BOY this scratches it "Magic Machine" is truly magic. i cant think of a paragraph to write here but like. man. all of this is so good.

---

380/ Forest Swords - Bolted (2023) hazy as hell. somehow only a few tracks resonated with me. mostly "Rubble" and "End"

---

381/ Actress - LXXXVIII (2023) this conjures something in me that i havent quite felt since discovering flylo. dusty.

---

382/ Ametsub - Mbira Lights 1 (2017) absolutely beautiful timbres of mbiras, awash in some beats that are more 808 tail than hihat. it's a really good combo. honestly its strongest at its opening with "Mbr / Northbound" but it touches on several flavors that are delightful

---

383/ Towa Tei - TOUCH (2023) holy BASS, "HOLD ON!" is rubbing me the RIGHT way. "BEAUTIFUL" secondary highlight for dat groove

---

384/ Future Sounds of London - Environment 7.003 (2023) i feel like ive rly slept on fsol. this is dusty like old concrete. decreptid source engine ass music (affectionate) "Overwrite"… "Trichome". i guess youll know what im saying if you know what im saying.

---

385/ Pentagrams Of Discordia - Deprogrammed (2023) this was presented to me as "like boc". and it's true. it really captures the timbre of boc. but somehow it doesn't… envelop me? its just alrite. idk :\

----

386/ Full Bloom - Time Zones (2023) jazz. dubby. sexy. feels at home with oldschool ninja tune. also fun that it almost dives into fusion at times, i.e. with "Saw"

---

387/ DJH & sv1 - voids (2022) yeah this is good and all but. "teal lacy" is beyond words. shiny nostalgia specifically for me. "femto" also to a similar degree but. teal lacy…….

---

388/ Tha Trickaz - Cloud City (2017) some p nice wob stuff! it doesn't 100% click with me but: "OG Purp" & "I'm Back" got some fun screechy stuff. "Hood Bodega" is like 2013 but top notch

---

389/ I Awake - Zenith (2017) psychill, i believe it's called? a delicious chill to keep me company in work.

---

390/ Miguel Atwood-Ferguson - Les Jardins Mystiques Vol. 1 (2023) this one's a little outside my perview i think, but it's brainfeeder so i gotta at least take a look. and… yeah it's not quite my jam sorry. "Porpita" quite lovely tho!

---

391/ VA - Speeding Towards Adventures (2017) grab bag etc there is exactly one song that I must shower with love: "Chemical Fusion"! it's jfusion but with its own identity! it's rly rly good!! that said, "Gotta Start from Somewhere" also deserves a shoutout as a banger opening

Darker the Berry (POC! Reader x Aizawa)

A/N: Okay so heres the late story I’ve promised! Sorry for the delay, my internet has been booty buttcheek and my only source of comfort has been Mario Kart 8 deluxe and my Soundcloud listening history 😣 ANYWHO~ This story is on the issues(insecurities) of colorisim. And this is for my insecure baes out there that just needs some love🥰So enjoy! (And hopefully my internet doesnt give out once im done (┬┬﹏┬┬).....)

A/N: Oh! Another side note, this is in Aizawa’s POV for the most part!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

‘Oh for fucks sake. This is just embarrassing.’ 

Thought Aizawa Shota, aka Eraserhead, a somewhat well known hero. At least till another well known pro hero comes around. Anyways, it was late at night and Aizawa was at a small restaurant waiting for his date to come. But by the looks of it, he probably just got stood up. Recently he has been trying to “get back out there” to not only have his comrades off his back but also because he was becoming lonely. He wanted that emotional support from someone other than his students, family and friends. Someone he could come home to every night to ramble about absolutely nothing or about everything going on in his world. And sure he had his best friend and his cat to talk to, but its not the same. He wanted that somewhat perfect love he sees everywhere he turns. 

 With a tired sighed, he was getting ready to leave but all of a sudden he could hear an all too annoying familiar voice. Even without his quirk, Hizashi Yamada is the loudest man on God’s given green earth. “HEY SHOTA!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” He asked loudly making the people in the restaurant jump but Aizawa was accustomed to it.

“OOH! ARE YOU HAVING A DAT-?!” Aizawa instantly covered his mouth annoyed, “How about you shut up? Anyways yeah but I was just getting ready to-” he was cut off when a 5′8 dark skinned woman with the most beautiful set of dark eyes that was barely covered by the few dreadlocks that poked out of her high bun. She was dressed in light shades of grey and white that made her skin pop out. She was truly what they called a goddess among men. “I am so sorry I’m late! I got so busy with work, I lost track of the time and decided to come straight here.” the woman rambled not fully realizing that Aizawa was too busy silently thanking whatever deity that was here for not only sending Hizashi for stopping him from walking out that door but also blessing him with the most gorgeous person he’s ever seen. 

“It’s alright. My colleague here just stopped me from leaving.” He stated in his usual monotoned voice removing his hand from his friend’s mouth and sending him a look that said ‘ If you say or do something to ruin this for me, I will personally rip your vocal cords out.’, thankfully Hizashi got the memo nodding in slight fear. “Indeed I have! And now that you’re here miss, I can get what I’ve came here for and leave. Have a goodnight you two!” he stated as quietly as he can possibly get and left. “Sorry about my loud, somewhat obnoxious colleague. Here let me get your coat.” Aizawa said gently taking the woman’s coat setting it on the back of her chair. “Oh its alright, I have also been ‘plagued’ of having a very, very loud best friend. But you learn to get used to it.” she joked a bit taking her seat which only left the hero himself to take a seat. “I see. Well I don’t think we’ve properly introduced ourselves. I am Aizawa Shota, an absolute pleasure to meet you.” He said with a tiny little smile. “It’s wonderful to meet you, Aizawa. I am Y/N L/N.” she returned the smile flashing her pearly whites a bit. And with that led the beginning of a great date. The night was filled with a few laughs, a few stories about their past as children and teenage years.

Soon the two were at a park, the air was brisk and cold. The moon, stars, and streetlights illuminating their path and a small light drizzle of snow softly falling from up above. It was like a seen from a Hallmark Christmas movie, just absolutely perfect. Aizawa and Y/N were getting along great and were sitting on a bench somewhat snuggled up against one another but not quite because personal space still exists. Currently the topic of conversation landed on insecurities. Aizawa admitted to Y/N about how he felt about his own unkept look and how it took a lot of faith for him to even go out tonight. “That’s reasonable.” said Y/N, “But just in my own opinion, that unkept look is your own. Not many people can pull it off and still look as handsome.” she chuckled giving him a soft nudge of her elbow to the barely blushing man. “Well what about you? What are your insecurities?” Aizawa was genuinely curious about what she could possibly be insecure about. She was practically perfect in all aspects; has a good sense of humor, an amazing sense of style, very well educated, has more confidence than anyone he knows, and to top it all off, just carries herself respectably.

Y/N bit her thumb a bit nervous, for what she was about to reveal is going to be silly or at least that's what she thought. “Well. The thing I am most insecure about is my....complexion. As you can clearly tell I am not in anyway light skinned or even milk chocolate. And I know it is silly to be insecure about but from where I come from looking like me is a target in more aspects than one. To some being dark skinned has even been turned into a personality trait.” Without even noticing, Y/N ended on an entire rant about how her skin was and still is a target for ‘dark as night’ jokes or the ‘loud mouth, ratchet, Hot Cheetos’ girl. How people within her own community would just assume that she (and many others) fought or was angry all the time or lived in a really bad area where there was a lot of sun. Or the worst of things, that if she was a slave back then she’d be in the cotton fields. Every time she was told that or something similar, Y/N’s self-esteem would just crumble entirely. It made her feel unwanted, unloved, unnoticed, and just down right ugly. By the end of her little rant, she found herself trying hard not to cry in front of Aizawa. She didn’t really intend to just lay it all out there on the table for him, but maybe it was for the best. If they were going to continue dating then it was best for her to lay out all of the cards on the table and show him what he’s getting into.

“Sorry about that. I didn’t mean to make everything so gloomy with my little insecurity reveal.” she said giving an awkward smile to the now stunned man. He personally didn’t understand how anyone could be cruel to their own people, let alone for how they looked. It was foolish and childish to say the least. But he was more than proud of Y/N for being able to overcome it all. “Well I’ll be honest here. I won’t pretend that I have any form of resemblance of what you must’ve gone through over the years simply because of your skin color, but I will tell you now. Your skin is beautiful and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I am willing to learn about the struggles you face and if fate allows it I’d love to be by your side as I do.” He said in a serious tone, gazing into her eyes and gently taking one of her hands bringing it to her lips planting a soft kiss upon her knuckles. “All those people in the past or in the now that has anything to say about your skin in a negative light are simple minded nincompoops' that have yet to be enlightened. After all, don’t they know?” he asked tucking a dread behind her pierced ear. “Know what exactly?” she asked with the most brightest smile that night. “Don’t they know that the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice?” That alone made Y/N laugh but Aizawa was being serious. “Boy, don’t do that. Plus how would you know?” she asked as her accent came out a little. “Well I don’t. But why don’t we find out?~” he asked teasingly leaning into her ear.

Needless to say.....

Best. 

First Date.

 Ever.

request for tsukki with a crush who has a crackhead energy and she manages the team

this is such a fun hc, thank you for requesting! sorry i took so long on it, i’ve been really lagging on school, i still am but i had some down time hehe

Tsukishima crushing on manager with crackhead energy

genre: absolute crack, the source of where crack cracks the crack. crack. and a dash of fluff on that crack.

warnings: n/a

oh my god where do we even start

tsukishima has no idea why he likes you he hates his head for being such a simp for you or where ever da fuk this feeling is coming from

like the amount of energy that you have, jumping around and always cracking jokes and doing the upmost unbelievable shit, he doesn’t get it, why does he want to see you all the time?

the amount of crackhead energy that you have in your body can beat tanaka, nishinoya, and hinata COMBINED, bc of that you ended up being good friends with them

one time you guys were heading out in the volleyball bus to a match and nishinoya bet that you wouldn’t try to ride on top of the bus instead of going inside of it while driving to the match

YES ON TOP OF THE BUS, YOU CLIMBED THAT BITCH AND SAT ON IT😭😭

poor ukai nearly died of a heart attack when the bus started driving and noya and tanaka were dying of laughter and ukai thought something fishy was going on so he stopped the bus and went outside and saw you just sitting on top of the bus like “yo wassup ukai mah dawg”

Tsukishima was absolutely without words “why tf did you do that” “why tf did you not join me?”

bitch had no idea what to reply, just put his headphones back on bc he himself started wondering why he didn’t join you, congratulations, you broke Tsukishima Kei

and to top it all off, you can be an absolute crackhead one second and the next you’re paying the most attention ever to a match and writing mad notes on that clipboard of yours

when tsuki first saw you do that he felt like he just go slapped in the face😭

HOW TF DOES SHE DO IT

ngl he kinda tried to uncrush on you

it didn’t work😔✊

he really tried doe, f in the chat for tsuki

he was really out her trying to avoid you at all costs but you would just be EVERYWHERE

after a while tanaka and nishinoya got on that tsukishima had a crush on you, not hinata doe, he’s so clueless smh

they told you and you were like “wait dat kinda make sense doe😳” because tsuki was always weird around you and he would be ✨extra mean✨ and ✨extra stiff✨

so you, nishinoya, tanaka and hinata were plotting on how to take the upmost advantage of you situation

hinata kept suggesting to try to make tsukishima as flustered as possible just so that everytime tsuki called him short he would bring up that exact moment

“hinata how are we gonna do this, the only emotion that boi shows is 🧂salt🧂”

so you all decided upon it and the next day

poor tsuki, he was just a simp and he didn’t know how to handle his emotions and he was about to be absolutely attacked 😭

you walked in to the volleyball practice with the shortest shorts in history

the boys were practicing their spikes and daichi spiked noya in the face by accident because he noticed you first lkdfjsdlkf

“sorry guys, all of my other shorts are in the wash hehe”

u fukin liar

you looked over to tsukishima and the POOR MAN

HE JUST DROPPED EVERYTHING AND WAS JUST STANDIN STIFF AS A BOARD AND STARING AT YOU FKLJDS

tsukishima.exe has stopped functioning

you two locked eyes and you smiled at him and he legit lagged 

yamaguchi was next to him and he thought tsuki was having a heart attack LMAOO

and the entire practice long you were throwing the CHEESIEST pick-up lines ever at tsuki, the poor soul

“ hey, hEY TSUKI! Are you a parking ticket? because you got fine written all over you” 

noya literally chocked on his water because he was right next to him and heard it ldskfjs

“are you from Tennessee, because you’re the only ten i see~”

“no y/n, im Japanese.” 

“ 😐😑 ur no fun”

he’s sitting on the bench on water break and you just plop next to him and throw your head on his shoulder dramatically 

“So tsuki-man, aside from being sexy, what do you do for a living?”

at this point the poor man is done for, he is so embarrassed by the entire practice’s event of you throwing yourself all over him that he can’t even function enough to be salty

“Y/N can i ask you something?”

“mm?” your head still resting on his shoulder.

“why are you acting...weird...around me”

you giggled at his question yet still didn’t budge from his shoulder.

when you first started, you were going to see tease him just in a friendly manner, but afterwards you started noticing how cute he was whenever he would try to hide his flushed cheeks whenever you came nearby. ‘do i have a crush on him too?’ was the only sentence running over and over in your mind. and now, with your head pressed on his shoulder your stomach sending butterflies through you, your had decided that you did. what else could explain how you all of the sudden felt a little nervous as the time passed by?

“a lil birdie told me you liked me”

you felt him stiffen under you, the days events tired him so much he didn’t even know how to respond, he just,, sat there and tried to look for an answer to give you but all that came up to him was tv static.

“i think i like you too, you know” you said, holding your breath, hoping this wouldn’t end up embarrassing for you too.

tsukishima’s body relaxed a little and you could faintly hear how fast his heart was beating. 

“that’s good” was the only words he could muster out as he slightly stuttered.

you reached over and lightly held his hand, the intertwined hands of you both were semi-concealed as you just sat there and tsuki took his break, drinking water and watching the rest of the team practice.

noya, hinata, and tanaka were walking by to check up on 

Operation Fluster Tsukishima™

and noya was the first to notice your hands.

“WHAT THE HELL”

“wtf noya, what is it?” tanaka boi was confused as hell

“YOU TWO ARE HOLDING HANDS??!?(&$*(@&” poor hinata stil believed holding hands with the opposite gender could make you pregnant, bless his soul.

tsukishima literally bolted up from his seat as if his seat had those deject buttons from cartoons. 

“wtf y/n why you holding by hand” 

awkward award goes to tsukishima kei

he started walking away towards yamaguchi who was seeing everything that was going down from the beginning was nagging tsukishima to tell you that he liked you already

“what the hell tsuki-man, we were just having such a heartfelt moment”

you could see that he slightly smirked as he walked away.

and there you were.

left with these three knuckleheads

all freaking out.

“YOU ACTUALLY LIKED HIM WTF )&&^&$*#$()*#)”

Heat stuck to her skin as she slipped out the window of her room. In New York, the middle of summer scorched everyone who dare leave their fanned homes. It also scorched those who worked outdoors, or burned those who didn't have homes. But Juliet was willing to take the chances of getting sun burned, she needed to get out of her room.

She had been reading for hours, there was really nothing else to do. Reading for 6 hours tends to get boring, especially when all the books you can read are about wars. Most of the war books were historically incorrect anyways. She swore to one day rewrite every historical book she read, but make it accurate.

She ran down the fire escape and took in the scene of the hot Manhattan streets. She had no idea what to do, Juliet rarely left her house and when she did, it was with her father in a carriage. Without a map or guide to help her, she let her feet lead her through the streets.

"Hiya, ma'am," A boy said exhaustedly, tipping his cap at her, "Care ta hear todays news? The World seems ta want everyone ta know there was a baby born with two heads!"

"Hiya, ma'am," A boy said exhaustedly, tipping his cap at her, "Care ta hear todays news? The World seems ta want everyone ta know there was a baby born with two heads!"

"Oh, well, sure! Is a quarter alright?" Juliet asks, pulling out a quarter from her pocket.

"Ma'am, a pape is only 1 penny!" He smiled at her as he took his cap off and wiped his forehead, "Please, I really couldn't take any more than a penny from a sweet girl like you."

She flushed with embarrassment, "I'm so sorry, I've never been out in the city on my own before. I promise you, loosing a quarter sure doesn't affect me much."

"Thank ya, ma'am," The boy grinned, trading the paper for her coin, "Ya said ya'd neva been on da streets?" Juliet nodded, scratching her arm as the feeling of embarrassment bubbled inside her. "Care ta wander with me?"

"Well- I'm sure you're busy, right? I'd hate to intrude," She rambled.

"Ma'am! I'm free all day, honestly. I'd love ta show ya around, if you're up for it o' course!" He admitted with an honest smile, "Come carry da banner with me for a few more minutes and I'll show you good 'ol Manhattan!"

"Thank you-" She started, pausing to silently ask him for his name.

"Kid Blink," He smiled, "Wanna try sellin' a pape, ma'am?" He offered a newspaper to her, which she hesitantly took and turned to look at people walking by.

Juliet raised the paper and called out, "Daily news!"

A chuckle came from behind her, "All due respect, ma'am. You gotta yell out a headline or a story!" Her cheeks went red with embarrassment but she nodded, flipping through the paper quickly.

"Baby born with 2 heads! ... Medical anomaly!" She added, someone rushed towards her and handed her a penny for the paper. "I did it!"

"Great job, miss! Oh, keep the penny, ma'am!" Kid Blink stated sincerely as Juliet attempted to give him the penny, "Da quarter ya gave me has got me set for longer den a week!"

--

Juliet admired the boy, for he had great talent when it came to selling newspapers. When she had bumped into him, he had been carrying a whole stack of papers. A stack that looked plenty heavy. However, not once did he complain nor even look for a second as if he might drop them. He just kept carrying them and calling out headlines. Within 10 minutes of meeting him, his stack of papers were all sold.

"Honestly, ma'am, the streets of Manhattan ain't got much to see," Kid Blink explained earnestly, "Oh! I gotta place that's got some good wadda, want to go there?"

She grinned, "I'll admit, I'm a little hungry. I don't know any other restaurants, so if you say the place is good, all I can do is believe you! Lead the way, Kid Blink."

"Please, ma'am, call me Blink!" He stated, starting to walk away. She walked close behind him, nervous from stories her father had told her about the streets, "You alright, miss?"

"Peachy," She lied, "So, you, uh, do this everyday?"

Blink nodded, "Everyday! Carry the banner, eat if I'se got the money, sleep, den do it all again!"

"That's gotta be rough, how old are you?" Juliet asked.

"14, ma'am," Kid Blink replied before turning to her, "How old are you?"

"14," Juliet answered, "It's insane you're doing this everyday, living like this."

He smiled at her and tipped his cap, "Jus' life, ma'am!"

They stood together in front of a restaurant, the sign above it read Tibby's. Kid Blink turned to Juliet with a grin then moved to hold open the door for her. She nodded at him before cautiously stepping in, feeling the boy press against her as he closed the door behind him.

"Blink!" A boy called from a table, waving him over. Kid Blink looked at Juliet and nodded at the table full of boys then started walking over to them. She let her head fall down as she walked close behind him.

"Hiya, boys!" Blink grinned, sliding into the seats and shoving another boy into the wall so Juliet could sit down too, "This is, uh-"

"Juliet," she stated nervously, "Juliet Adams."

One boy joked, "Say, Adams is da mayors last name. You his daughter?"

"Yeah," She laughed, obviously very scared.

They all gaped at her. Kid Blink laughed and wiped the sweat off his forehead, "I woulda neva guessed. Anyways, Ms. Adams, this here is Racetrack, Elmer, Mush, and Skittery." The named boys grinned and waved at her as their names were called.

"Nice to meet you all," Juliet said, "Do you all work as newsies?"

Racetrack nodded, "Yes, ma'am. Now, I've gotta ask. What did 'ol Blink here say ta get ya ta come all da way over here wit 'im?" Blink rolled his eyes and ran his hand through his hair before placing his cap on his head again.

"Well, you see, I've never really left my house, not on my own at least. Kid Blink offered to show me around the city!" Juliet explained before looking at a menu above the register, "What do you boys usually get?"

"Wadda," Elmer states, then adds with a shrug, " 'Ts free."

She glanced around the table, assuming it was a joke, but was met with honest faces. She shook her head, "Why don't you all get some food. I'll pay, don't worry."

Kid Blink interfered, "Ms. Adams, we couldn't possibly let you pay for us-"

"Call me, Juliet, or Julie, all of you. Honestly, you've helped me a lot today, Kid Blink. It's the least I can do to make sure you all have full stomachs for at least a day. Let me pay, please," She pleaded. He looked at her and sighed and nodded before looking over the menu.

"She's a gift from the gods!" Elmer exclaimed, leaning over the table excitedly and giving her a hug. She laughed and pat the golden-retriever-like boy on the cheek.

Skittery nodded in agreement and Albert joked, "An angel me thinks. Think Big Man'll miss her if we keep her?"

"The mayor or God?" Racetrack asked before drinking his water.

Elmer looked at her with a look of fear, "Think he'll try to chop off our heads?" She laughed and shook her head.

"If anything, I'll be the headless one. He'll kill me once I get home. It's already getting dark," Juliet stressed, "I should be heading back after you all eat."

And so the boys and the girl, who had been isolated her whole life, joked and laughed together over plates of food. They begged and begged to help her and chip in for the bill, but she stubbornly refused. Eventually they were forced out of the building due to the 'dinner rush.'

Racetrack had joked, "By dinner rush, he means 5 customers who actually buy da food instead of drink all his wadda!'

They talked for a while longer before reaching the lodging house where 4 out of the 5 boys retreated into the building after waving goodbye to Juliet. Kid Blink lingered behind, hesitant to let her go alone through Manhattan at night. She insisted she would be fine, but Blink knew better than to not trust his gut instinct.

"I'm walking ya home, I cant let you walk alone during da night. 'Specially cuz ya don't know da streets all too well," He explained earnestly.

"I'm sure I'll be fine! Honestly, how dangerous can it be? Besides, won't it be dangerous for you to walk back alone?" She asked.

"Nah! I know dese streets like da back of my hand!" Blink reassured her as he lead her through the streets, "What's it like being da mayors daughter?"

Juliet sighed, "It's not horrible, but he never lets me leave the house. The only time I get to leave is to go with him in a car to some meeting he has. All I do is study. Don't get me wrong, I know I'm lucky. I have a consistent roof over my head, a consistent food source, and I'll never run out of money or new clothes. But what's the point if I don't ever get to talk to anyone?"

"I see," He nodded, "Hey, me an' da boys may not be rich or have any of dat food stuff often, but we sure as hell is a family! Life is worth the living as long as you got good friends to live it with. You ain't neva had no friends ever?"

She chuckled a little and shook her head, "Sure, I've had friends. They were all quite rude and stuck up, though. I sure hope I don't come off that way to you-"

"No, ma'am. You ain't stuck up, don't worry 'bout it!" Kid Blink told her, stopping at the house that towered over them. "Nice place ya got here."

"Thank you," She grinned, "Oh, and thanks for showing me around, Kid Blink."

He tipped his hat and nodded, "My pleasure, Ms. Adams."

"Juliet," She corrected.

"How 'bout Jules?"

"That works too, Blink."

She ran up the fire escape and waved at him from the top. He gave a short wave before turning back around to head back to the lodging house. Juliet tapped on the railing, deciding on what to say to the boy. She groaned and cupped her hands around her mouth.

"Kid Blink!" She shouted, "Think I could help you sell some more papers tomorrow?"

"It would be an honor to spend another day with you! I'll be here tomorrow with some papes, all right?" Blink yelled back, a grin playing on his lips.

"All right! Thank you, Blink!" She waved again before smiling widely and running back into her room.

"Julie?" A voice boomed from downstairs, Juliet cringed.

"Coming Father!" She called, going through her door and down to his office.

He continued to work on the papers laid out in front of him as he talked to her, "I'm sorry about our argument today. Thank you for keeping quiet. I've decided that you can go outside tomorrow, on your own. I trust you, for the most part. Just stay away from those newsboys, got it?"

Her eyebrows furrowed and she tilted her head at him, "What's wrong with the newsboys?"

"Flirts! All of them," He explained angrily, "Dirty and aggressive too!"

"All right, Father. I'll steer clear of the newsboys," She sighed. As she walked back to her room, she laughed to herself. Of course she wouldn't stay away from the newsboys, not like she listened today, right? Kept quiet, She thought, more like wasn't here to make noise.

--

Juliet woke up the next morning, already feeling the heat from outside, and rushed to her window in hopes to see the newsboy from the day before. Much to her dismay, he was not there. She decided not to stress, maybe he slept in or sold all of his papers already.

"Morning, Father!" She called as she walked into the kitchen, she gave him a kiss on the cheek, "I'm heading out now!"

"Stay safe, Juliet! And remember," He stated firmly, "Stay away from the newsboys!"

She rolled her eyes, "Yes, Father!" Then she was out the door, a wave of heat pushing against her. Juliet smiled before running off towards The World building.

Boys crowded around the town square, shouting and pushing into each other. She looked around and tried to push through the crowd, the kids all backing away from where she was. Juliet looked for familiar faces but couldn't see anyone.

"Ma'am! Ms. Adams! Juliet!" Elmer called out happily, pushing past everyone and bouncing over to her, "Watcha doing in these parts?"

She had to shout over the chaos to be heard, "Kid Blink said he would meet me at my house with papers, but he didn't! Did something happen? Do you know where he is?"

He grinned goofily at her, "Oh, boy, are you in fah a treat! We'se newsboys is on strike! Pulitzah raised the pape prices, so we'se don't sell till he puts it back! C'mon, Blink is over here!" Elmer grabbed her hand and pulled her through the crowd to the very front.

"- Gotta be ambastards and go tell the others that we're on strike!" A boy who stood in front the building shouted. Juliet was dragged by Elmer to stand next to Kid Blink, who turned to her and smiled.

"Say, Jack, we'll take Harlem!" Blink called out to the boy, Jack, and grabbed Juliet's arm.

"Good- Who's dat?" Jack asked the other newsies, Blink and Juliet were already gone.

"Da mayors daughter! Anyways, I got Midtown!" Race shouted before running off.

"Mayors daughter?" He shouted in confusion, but they ignored him and people continued to call out turfs they would go to.

--

"Sorry, Jules. Honest ta God, I'se was gonna go get ya! But, the price raise was ridiculous! Anyways, we'se goin' ta Harlem, tell dem about da strike! Dat alright with you?" Kid Blink asked after rambling.

She grinned, "Sure! Oh, guess what? My Father finally decided to let me go out freely, so I don't have to sneak away anymore."

"Nice! How'd ya manage ta convince 'im?" He questioned. They walked together through the streets, Kid Blink pulling his shirt to try and give himself some cool air.

"I don't know! Said he was happy that I didn't make any noise after the conversation yesterday! So, he's letting me out freely and he said..." She paused hesitantly.

Blink looked at her and tilted his head curiously, "What? What did he say?"

Juliet groaned and looked at him, "He told me to stay away from the newsboys. I won't, of course! But it's just- I don't get him. It's hard work, isn't it? I think you should all be admired, working this hard at such a young age with no one treating you fairly."

He laughed, "Thanks, miss! Sure is hard work, but we'se don't complain! Now, when we get ta Harlem, just ignore everything dey say. If dey make you uncomfortable, let me know, alright? I'll soak 'em! Or we can just leave. Whatever's easiest!"

"Thanks, Blink. Let's go," She said hesitantly, walking with him into the new borough.

A young boy ran towards them, "Hiya, Kid! And- pretty goil! Hi! Watcha here for?"

"Gotta talk ta Stitch," He explained, "He here, Scram?"

"Well, I reckon he's out by our circulation building! Trying ta calm down all da boys n' stuff! Hear bout the prices?" The boy, Scram, asked them.

" 'Course we did, Scram. That's what we're here to talk 'bout, 'Hattan newsies is on strike," He explained.

"Strike? Ya crazy! Ya know dat means makin' no money, right?" Scram questioned them, absolutely baffled by the idea of loosing a days pay.

"We know, Scram," Blink sighed, "But listen, if we don't work, they'se don't make money either. They need us! They gotta put the price back up soona o' later!"

Scram gave them a look, "I dunno, Blink! Think da World, Journal, and da Sun, and all of dem can go longer then we can without making money!"

"If we get all of da newsies togedda, they can't ignore us!" He explained, hoping to get through to Scram.

"Whateva ya say, Blink! C'mon, I'll take ya two ta Stitch. See what he gotta say 'bout it!" Scram nodded to the side before walking off. Juliet shrugged at Blink and they both started following him. There was havoc everywhere around the circulation building. People were shouting at each other and pushing each other into the floor. She walked close to Blink and Scram, trying to stay away from the fists people were throwing.

"Stitch!" Scram called out, tugging on the shirt of a boy about a foot taller than him. The boys shirt was tight on his arms and completely unbuttoned. His brown suspenders tugged at his shoulder, probably chaffing him. He had multiple scars all over his chest.

"What Scram? What?" Stitch groaned, shaking the boy off his arm.

"Kid Blink and a goil is here to talk to you about somethin'!" Scram explained.

The boy tipped his hat at Juliet, "Ma'am," Then spit in his hand and shook hands with Blink, "Kid Blink. What's up?"

"Well- We- 'Hattan-" Blink attempted to speak but couldn't talk over the yelling. Stitch looked to Scram and nodded at him.

Scram grinned widely and screeched, "Scram! Da bulls!" Everyone froze, stopped yelling and fighting, and bolted away. Scram waved to them, tipped his hat at Juliet, and ran off with everyone else.

"We'se on strike over in 'Hattan. We want you to join too!" Kid Blink explained.

Stitch hesitated, "Oh, I dunno, Blink! We won't make any money at all! We don't like da price either, but it's hard ta make no money at all. All dem newspaper big shots could go months without making money!"

"Yeah, but they can't ignore us if we get all da newsies in New York!" Blink tried to convince him.

"What's Brooklyn doin'? What'd they say?" Stitch asked.

Blink sighed, "I dunno yet."

"Look, when ya get the nod from Brooklyn, come back. Alright? Get the nod from Brooklyn and you can count on Harlem," Stitch promised. Kid Blink sighed again but nodded.

Juliet tilted her head, "So, Harlem is just a bunch of followers? Can't make your own decisions? Seems like Brooklyn is more the leader of Harlem than you are, Stitch." Both boys looked taken aback by her statement.

"No way, ma'am! It's just- We ain't gonna win dis thing if we ain't got Brooklyn!" Stitch explained.

"Oh! You guys aren't strong enough to help us, right?" She instigated.

"Yeah we are!" Stitch groaned, "Fine. Count us in, alright? The second you guys give up, or show any sign of giving up, Harlem is out. Got it?"

"Got it! Thanks, Stitch," Blink smiled, spitting in his hand and sticking it out for Stitch. He spit in his own hand and shook hands with Kid Blink.

"No problem, Blink. Now, as Scram would say, scram! I got to prepare me boys for a strike," He chuckled. Juliet started off, but Stitch grabbed Blinks arm and whispered to him, "Great gal, pretty too. If we get all da newsboys in one place with her, she's gonna be snatched up quick. Beat 'em to it, Blink. Or someone else will." Kid Blink rolled his eyes at Stitch and tugged his arm away, running to catch up with Juliet.

--

"Jack! What did Spot say?" Race asked as soon as he saw the leader.

"He was concerned 'bout us being serious, you believe that?" Jack scoffed.

The boys looked amongst themselves before Race spoke up, "I dunno Jack. None of da burrows will join us without the O.K. from Brooklyn."

"Wrong! None of da burrows except for Harlem. Harlem'll be here," Blink shouted as he ran over to them with Juliet.

"Awesome! Nice job, Blink," Jack praised.

He shook his head, "Not me. All thanks ta Juliet!"

"I knew she was an angel!" Elmer gushed, grabbing the girls hands and grinning at her.

One newsboy nudged another, "Looks like one too!" Blink shoved the boy who made the comment with his elbow.

"Shut up, Romeo."

The boy who had been nudged the first time laughed, "He told you!"

Said boy, Romeo, rolled his eyes, "Shut up, Henry."

"So what? We got Harlem, how does that help us? Gives us maybe 50 more kids? We should call it off, Jack. We need Brooklyn," A boy stated glumly. Jack looked at Davey, who Juliet had learned was the co-leader of the strike, with desperation evident in his eyes. David nodded and started to sing.

--

Juliet honestly didn't know how she ended up on the floor. Before, she was listening to the boys singing and watching them dance. At one point, Kid Blink pulled her up to dance with him and the others. She danced with them, but not for long due to the circulation bell ringing. The newsies charged and shouted at what they called 'scabs.'

Then, she was getting shoved all around. She was on the floor and looking to get out. Harlem came running in to help Manhattan, fighting scabs right along with them. Stitch noticed Juliet's struggles and grabbed her arm, yanking her to her feet. He shoved her to Scram, who took her and lead her out of the crowd.

"Hey, Scram!" Julie said breathlessly, smiling down at the young boy as she caught her breath.

"Hiya, ma'am. Ya alright?" Scram asked her.

She nodded, "No need for the formality, Scram. Call me Juliet, or Ms. Adams if you really insist to be formal."

"Okay, Ms. Adams! We gotta run, da bulls is comin'!" He shouted at her, noticing the police running into the circulation building. Scram grabbed her arm and dragged her away.

--

"Ms. Adams, please take some wadda," Scram begged her, but she refused. She didn't want them to waste any water on her.

"I'm all right, Scram. I promise. Do you think Kid Blink and all the others are all right?" She asked him. He shrugged.

"I dunno, Ms. Adams, but I can check fa ya!" He grinned and bounced excitedly.

"No! It's fine! Relax, Scram, take a running break. I'll check in with them tomorrow," Juliet assured. Stitch walked up to them and sat down behind her on a crate.

"You alright.. Uh.. Wat's ya name?" He asked.

"Juliet Adams," She replied.

Stitch nodded, "Ya alright, Ms. Adams?"

"Yeah," She reassured, "What happened after the police came?"

"Dey only got one guy, 'Hattan guy. The gimp," Stitch reported, "Dey didn't back down though. Still won't quit. We'll be there 'gain tomorrow." Juliet nodded. "Stitch, introduce her to the boys. Have Charles walk her home, got it?"

"Yessir!" Scram called and walked over to a group of boys. "Hiya, guys! This here is Juliet Adams! Ms. Adams, this is Charles, John, Skippy-"  Juliet swore he kept talking for a hour. There was about 25 boys she was being introduced to, maybe one day she'd actually keep track of them all. She just nodded as he kept listing off names and pointing at boys.

Juliet just kept nodding, "It's very nice to meet you all. I really must be heading home now, though. Thank you for everything, Scram. Tell Stitch I said thanks too, okay?" Scram nodded excitedly and waved at her as she walked off.

"Wait up!" A boy called, running up next to her, "C'mon, I'll walk ya home. I'm Charles."

"Thanks, Charles. Hey, were you at the circulation building in Manhattan, today?" She asked him.

"Yes, ma'am," He nodded, "Wherever Stitch is, I'm there too."

"I see. Gotta follow the leader, right?" Juliet joked.

Charles blushed and adjusted his cap, "Something like dat. Think we can win?"

"The strike? From what I know, Brooklyn basically leads most of the burrows, right? After today, Spot Conlon, whoever that is, will know we won't back down," She started, "Hopefully, he'll join us after seeing what happened today. Then we'll have all the other turfs. We'll be unstoppable with all of them. We're bound to win."

"Well, I guess you're right. Unstoppable, huh? I like the sound a' dat," He grinned.

"Me too," She smiled, "This is my house. Thank you for walking me here, Charles. I really appreciate it. I'll see you at the circulation building tomorrow."

He tipped his hat at her before walking away, "Bye, miss!"

--

Juliet walked through the doors of her home, "I'm back, Father."

"Dear! How was your day?" He called back to her.

"Good. I really just walked around, I sat by the Brooklyn bridge and just looked over the scenery," She lied.

He huffed in acknowledgement, "Hear about the newsie strike? I think the streets are gonna be too dangerous. I want you to stay inside again-"

"Father!" Juliet sighed, "You can't do that! I've finally had a taste of freedom. Let me stay out, please? I promise you, I'll be extremely careful."

"Fine. Just," He paused, "Stay away from them, okay? They're already getting violent. Don't get hurt, if you do, you'll be stuck inside until you're an adult, got it?"

She rolled her eyes but nodded, "Yes, Father. I'm going to sleep now." She ran up the stairs to her room and groaned as she sat on her bed. She wouldn't stay away from the newsboys. Maybe she wanted to rebel, maybe she like their company. Her Father was right about one thing, they were already getting violent. And although she couldn't pull herself away, she was scared of getting sucked into the angry force of the newsboys union.

Sweet Dreams 2/?

Restraint? Pfft.

Title: Sweet Dreams Setting: Modern Thedas Rating: PG-13 For Strong Language   Genre: Friendship & Adventure, minor Romance elements Pairings: (All relatively background) Ela/Cullen, Doribull Summary: For @elalavella. Ela’s been having vivid nightmares that are starting to feel far too real when the companions she has in the nightmares appear in her real life. She thought it was supposed to be the other way around! Part One

“So, Ela my dear, Bull has told me that you’re having a bit of a problem with nightmares, lately,” Dorian said. The group was back at the man’s flat and it wasn’t nearly as posh as his demeanor. Apparently, his salary from the police department didn’t cover much past his fancy clothes and mustache wax, given the sparse furnishings and empty fridge.

“Bull!” Ela said. She absolutely did not stomp her foot. 

“It’s a magic problem; it’s gonna need a magical solution,” The Iron Bull said, mildly.

Sera blew a loud raspberry with enough spit flying out of her mouth that Dorian visibly flinched. Sera rolled her eyes and said, “Everything’s a mage problem nowadays. S’long as they keep the pipes warm, they’re doing all the magic I need.” “Before the Solidification-” Dorian began. “That’s fuckin’ right. Before the Soldyficyton, magic was the source a’ everyone’s problems. Now, we might as well be livin’ under the Stone for the magic we gotta deal with.” Dorian looked equal parts offended and charmed by Sera’s interruption and continued on as if she hadn’t said anything. “Nightmares like Bull described were a clear harbinger of demon possession. Now, they’re about as bad as it gets, except for the little part where you’re not a mage. Unless you are. Officially speaking, I wouldn’t know, of course, but it’s relevant.” Ela crossed her arms over her chest and her mouth curled into a sour pout. “No, I’m not a mage.” “She doesn’t need a mage, she needs a great golden cock,” Sera said. Dorian repeated each word slowly. “Great golden cock.” “Ya,” Sera said, seemingly unable to keep her mouth shut, “she’s been dreaming about Cullywully, her lil’ golden boy. And then she saw ‘im in the café and couldn’t be assed to get his number.” Ela sat silently and tried to drown her embarrassment in Dorian’s nice white wine. “While I agree that a good dick can solve most problems,” Dorian said with a leer at The Iron Bull, “demons paying you a little too much attention is a problem that makes worse. Lust and all that. Anyway, you do have the scent of the Fade about you. It’s just not polite to comment on someone’s mage-status.” When her cheeks returned to their normal color, Ela cleared her throat and said, “I don’t know why this would start now of all… Hey, you’ve been in them, too!” Dorian blinked. “Have I, now? And you only just now noticed? I’m a little insulted that I’m so forgettable.” “There’s usually a lot of blood and red lyrium. Not exactly easy to identify most people, what with the carnage,” Ela replied. “Red lyrium? That’s some boogey man to latch onto,” Dorian said, rubbing his chin. “You’d think your mind would settle on the archdemon or some of that other Blight nonsense. Everyone loves a good Warden story, afterall.” Ela bit her tongue to hold back her scathing comment about the reality of red lyrium, but that’s a lesson she’d learned thoroughly. Discussing the reality of red lyrium and the Blights and darkspawn and Wardens always ended up in bickering about sources (and usually jabs at her dyslexia, as if that made her less credible). She turned her tone pointedly polite. “Thank you for your concern, Dorian.” (Bull winced at the clear insincerity in her words.) “But it’s just some silly nightmares. I’m fine.” “Come on, Boss, he didn’t mean it that way,” Bull said. “And you haven’t slept well in months. Don’t think I missed how hungover you were at lunch.” Ela dropped her gaze to the glass in her hand. “Well, I can help with that,” Dorian said. He set down his wine glass and went into his bedroom for a moment before he came back holding a small, jade amulet. He held out to Ela, but The Iron Bull snatched it out of his hand and examined it for anything malicious before giving to Ela. Dorian cleared his throat loudly, but otherwise didn’t respond to the exchange. “There was some family drama when I first left Tevinter; that did away with sleepless nights.” Ela eyed his earnest expression for a moment before looking at the amulet herself, though without any magical talent it may as well have just been a polished stone from the garden. She was still looking at it when she absentmindedly said, “Your father was less than understanding about your enjoyment of the male form?” “...Yes, actually.” Dorian retook his seat and looked far more serious than he had before. “I take it you knew that from these nightmares.” Ela bit her bottom lip and then nodded. “You were reasonably upset about it.” Dorian turned to Sera. “And this Cullywully person, you say she recognized him from her nightmares? Did she ever describe him before today?” Sera nodded and kicked her feet up on his coffee table. “Yup. Kinda creepy, how accurate she was, too.” Sera gestured to her mouth. “Got his scar n’ everything.” “And is his name, ah, Cullywully?” Ela snorted. “Cullen. And I don’t know. I didn’t talk to him.” “Hmm, well, I suppose I will have to take one for the team and spend my afternoons in that café until he comes back and I can confirm,” Dorian said, making a show of looking put-upon. “Of course, if the amulet works, then it doesn’t matter, but if he’s as attractive as you’re making him sound, I’m sure I’ll survive the effort.” The Iron Bull reached over and tweaked Dorian’s mustache, which started a clearly affected play-fight that sent Ela into fits of giggles. She put the amulet in her pocket and the issue of her nightmares was forgotten in favor of teasing the new couple. *** On the bus ride home (not the ‘shifty’ train), Sera slept sprawled across her seat, the aisle and Ela’s lap, snoring quietly. Ela stroked her friend’s hair with one hand and checked her text messages with the other. From The Iron Bull, she had a picture of a cat in a t-shirt and photoshopped sunglasses and alternating smiling and frowning emoji finally ending with ‘u stil luv me, rite?’ He’d also sent a second message just a few minutes after they left saying, ‘dat ass tho’ with a winky face. Ela chuckled and then sifted through the various reminders and spam messages from unknown numbers. One catches her eye from the preview menu because it uses proper capitals and punctuation. 'Hello, sorry if this is weird. I think your friend reverse pickpocketed me. I found a napkin with this number and a doodle of your face (sorry if that’s rude, but your vallaslin are striking) and a, uh, rather colorful invitation to text you. So I’m texting you. Definitely me. Not my much hotter friend Alistair whom you should totally date instead.’ It ended with a second phone number, ostensibly Alistair’s, but either way, it made Ela laugh quietly. Sera simply snored louder. Ela snapped a quick photo of herself with her big, floppy hat and attached it to her reply. ‘Hello! It’s me you’ve got. You didn’t mention any dicks on the note, so I’m not sure my friend gave it to you. Send a pic back to confirm.’ Ela smiled for the rest of the ride back.

-a terrible boy who aint worth my time is once again ruining my life, please send help i cant keep forgiving him and being the one who ends up apologizing when ive done nothing wrong ugh fuck me

-enjoy por favor

It turned out that the event that Jerome had been so looking forward to was a charity ball for Gotham’s Children’s Hospital. About three hours before it was scheduled to begin, you were once again handed over to Barbara and Tabitha to be dolled up again. “Make sure she looks perfect,” Jerome instructed, “But not like she stands out or anything. Can’t have those GCPD bozos trying to take her away from me.” The two women voiced their understanding and kicked him out of the room, but not before he winked at you as you sat on the other side. You were sitting in the same spot you had been in the first time the two women had used you as a life-sized barbie doll. Once they got started, the entire event of getting you ready for the gala went by in a flash. Barbara did your makeup again, however this time it was much less natural-looking. Your eyeshadow was a dark pink to light pink fade, and your cheekbones were lightly contoured. Tabitha was doing your hair again as well, instead this time she kept your hair down; from what you could see in the mirror she was going for a wavy style. The dress hanging on the closet door across the room was crushed pink velvet with spaghetti straps, straight, and ball gown length. Once your face and hair was to their liking, they had you put the dress on behind a divider.

“Hang on,” Barbara said, rummaging through a drawer on the other side of the divider. She handed you something over the top; when you took it you saw it was a black choker. “Wear that. I’ll get ginger in here so we can go.”

Seconds later, she reentered the room with Jerome, whose eyes were being covered by Barbara’s hand. You’d already stepped out from the divider. She let her hand fall and his eyes landed immediately on you. “Wow,” he said in a low voice, “You look absolutely stunning, babygirl. Spectacular.“

“Thank you,” you whispered. He walked over to you, taking your hands in his. He was considerably taller than you, even despite the fact that Barbara and Tabitha had given you a pair of strappy, matte, black heels.

“We can have so much fun when we get back.” He shot his signature evil grin at you, before leading you out the door. ‘Absolutely not,’ you thought to yourself. ‘We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.’ The car ride to the event was relatively civil. You didn’t talk, which wasn’t unusual, and as much as you pushed yourself into the car door to keep distance, Jerome still managed to keep a hand on your leg the whole time. You couldn’t let it distract you, however. You were too busy formulating an escape plan in your head. ‘How will I get away from them all? Do I go straight to the police right after, do I lay low for a while instead?’

The events of the night must’ve been entertaining, you were sure, but you were too busy looking around every two seconds in search of an escape route. While Jerome and Barbera were preparing their act backstage, you were kept by Tabitha’s side the whole time. The only thing keeping you from running at every chance was the expertly hidden pocket knife she kept at your side all night. You kept silently praying someone in the crowd would recognize you and say something, but then, what would that’ve meant for the knife at your side? Escaping wasn’t going to be easy, but you would be damned if you knew you had let the opportunity for freedom pass because of a piece of metal with a point. Before the show started, Tabitha had dragged you along with her to a dark corner in an unoccupied hallway. She stood facing you and moved the pocketknife away. “Listen,” she started, “I don’t want to have to keep you locked up after tonight. Theo has something planned tonight, and I want to help you get away when it’s all over.”

Your jaw just about dropped to the floor. You were dumbstruck! “I- I don’t understand…” you stammered.

“Look, just- just hear me out.” You nodded. “If I let you escape, you have to promise you won’t tell the cops about the rest of us. Just tell them that when Jerome had you, he was alone. No accomplices. No roommates. None of us. Just him. The police tells the news what you told them, and you’ll be fine. Theo won’t try to come after you if he thinks you got him off the hook. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“Good. You’re a good kid, (y/n). You deserve to move past all this. You didn’t deserve any of it. So can I trust you not to run your mouth?”

“Of course. Thank you, Tabitha.” You meant it. You had no hard feelings towards her, or even Barbara for that matter. They were nice to you the whole time, what’s the difference if they were both a little whack? They weren’t the ones who kidnapped you or held you hostage. Tabitha was literally helping you escape. You would always be grateful for that.

She smiled. “I still have to keep this on you though,” she motioned to the knife. “For the sake of convincing Theo I’m not planning anything.” You could understand that. Once you reached your table. You did your best to hide your face from the rest of the crowd. You didn’t want someone spotting you now and ruining your whole plan, that would just end badly.

The events of the night flew by, up until when Jerome highjacked the magician’s bit and started killing people. Some in the crowd had escaped, but the majority of them, like you, were not as fortunate. Then, of course, there were the bits where GCPD detective, Jim Gordon, tried to intervene (if only for a minute or so), and when Jerome tried to kill Bruce Wayne, but none of that was as shocking as what happened next.

Theo Galavan, his mentor and leader, betrayed his trust and murdered him on the stage. You couldn’t help but react a bit shocked- despite what he had put you through, a stab to the throat seemed to be a very unleasant way to go. As soon as the knife was lodged in his neck and Barbara had escaped, everyone at the gala immediately fled, seemingly afraid that something worse was coming if they stayed there any longer. Tabitha did her best to guide you away from Theo’s view, pushing you into the crowd so you could blend in. You turned around and your sight of her was lost; maybe in order to help you gain some escape time against her brother.

When the cool, refreshing night air hit your face, you cried. You immediately started searching for the police when a strong hand came down on your shoulder. Your head snapped around to find the source, and you found yourself in front of a man wearing a GCPD badge. “Oh my God. (y/n) (y/ln)?” The man asked you.

As much as you had been crying before, you were full out sobbing now. “Yes,” you choked out, nodding your head. You weren’t sure how to respond to the situation at hand. Your captor was dead, you were free, standing next to one of the only people who had any control over the madness of that God-forsaken city, and you were alive. You barely knew what to say next, so you said the first thing you thought of. “I wanna go home,” you cried.

The ride back to the GCPD precinct was quiet, but you didn’t mind. The detective, who actually ended up being the infamous Jim Gordon, had given you a blanket before putting you in the car and calling your family to let them know that you’d been found, and you were alive and unharmed. Before being allowed to go back home, you had to be taken in to give an official statement. When you arrived, you had been given a change of clothes- a t-shirt and some sweatpants- and a big mug of coffee, your blanket still hanging around your shoulders. You were sat down on the other side of Gordon’s desk when the official recording started. “Just say what happened.”

“Um, well Jerome, he- I was walking home from school on the day that I was taken and he kidnapped me then- it was just him, I never saw anyone else. And he kept me locked up-he never did anything to me, just talked, but I think he must’ve had an obsession.”

Gordon interrupted. “Why do you say that?”

“He- he always kept talking about how he thought I was ‘his’ like he- like he owned me, or something… he liked pet names a lot. And then tonight, he brought me to the gala, he said he wanted to ‘show me off’, or something dumb like that. The only reason I didn’t run during was because he said if I tried anything, he’d kill my family, that he had them tied up somewhere. So I stayed where I was until that man killed him. Then I ran.”

He switched off the tape recorder. “Thanks for cooperating. Your family is on their way.” He stood up to go finish his work. “And, (y/n)-” he stopped to face you. “I’m really sorry about what happened to you. You seem like a good kid. You didn’t deserve any of that. I'll have one of the guys escort you and your family home. And-... I'd recommend group therapy... or something like that. To help you cope.”

“Thank you. For everything. And... I'm sure my parents will be on board with that. ”

The reunion with your family was full of tears and hugs. Your parents had bags under their eyes, they looked like that hadn’t slept in weeks. You embraced each other in the steps of the precinct, falling to your knees. You couldn't tell how long you all had been like that, but eventually you were led back to your home by one of the officers. The night was indescribably emotional and full of tears.

Your story was on the news for a week or so, and afterwards, it faded into the background. The only reason it was such a popular story was because of the fact that Jerome was involved. There were hundreds of kidnappings every week in Gotham, and most of them went unnoticed by the media. But they had a field day with you. Apparently during his raid of the GCPD, he mentioned how he was the one who had taken you, and that's why the police were in such a hurry to find you.

Your parents signed you into a hospital 3 weeks later. You had been mostly back to normal since you had been recovered, so they weren't expecting your sudden mental breakdown at all. The full weight of your trauma hadn't hit until then, and then suddenly it came crashing all at once. It started with you having random outbursts or crying here and there, but then your handle over the situation deteriorated. Next, you stopped eating. You couldn't risk it without being sick. Then, you stopped leaving your room. This went on for a few weeks until one day, you passed out on the stairs.

You had never really been a depressed kid before, so this was alarming to your family. Your time spent in theater had molded you into an extroverted, generally happy, and energetic person. When the light disappeared from your eyes and smile and were replaced by hollow, sunken cheeks and dark circles around your eyes, you all knew something was wrong. The doctors diagnosed PTSD and recommended 2 weeks in the hospital for your recovery.

You had lots of visitors, and that made you happy, but you could no longer express that happiness. You were put on mild medication, which helped, and you started feeling better as time went by. Most of your visitors were friends and family, but sometimes other people would come. Most of the time, they were Jerome fanatics. There must've been a cult of them or something, because every time it was a different person or group of people. They idolized him, and, by association, you. They saw Jerome as a messiah and you as his 'chosen one'. They always tried to get you to tell them about him, and at first you did.

"Well, he's... extravagant, for sure," you'd say. "He never hurt me, necessarily, but I mean, he killed people. He was a bad dude. I'm glad he's gone." This, of course, upset them. They were convinced he was just a rebel against authority and believed he could do no wrong, which is why you requested they stop being allowed to visit. This didn't mean the cult stopped keeping tabs on you, however. It just meant they had to keep their distance in order to keep you in their plans to resurrect Jerome and reunite him with you.

Virginia:  Day 2

DAVENFORTH: -Here they are, on the road. The trees wiz by as Takoda rolls them along. Davenforth is awake right now, watching the scenery and trying to figure out exactly what the fuck is going on while a cold fish cuddles and snoozes on while being covered in various warming apparel-

MAYOR: -chewing on a delicious seat-

HIGHBLOOD: =The warm smell of a hot, fresh banana cream pie slowly seeps from the back=

RILEY: -she awakens to the smell of banana cream pie, opening her eyes from a snoring and drooling deep sleep against derek. she sits up and tiredly looks around for the source-

HIGHBLOOD: =its him, or rather the pie on the little table he's got propped up over his lap. A bowl of sliced bananas next to it, he lays the slices gently on the whipped surface of the pie=

DAVENFORTH: -Grumbles something about "clown magic" -

QIRIN: =Softest of tummy gurgles.=

QIRIN: =Gently places a hand over her own face.=

MAYOR: -all you SUCKERS can get hungry over pies if you want. It's not even green?-

HIGHBLOOD: =he might have green pies, who knows=

DAVENFORTH: -He really wouldn't recommend eating a juggalo party bus seat. Do you know what's been on these things?-

PENNY: -wakes up next to the mayor and groaaans. She is not feeling too hot right now. Also reaches over and tries to push the Mayor away from his seat eating.- dude no thats so gnarly.

DAVENFORTH: Marinated in sex sweat and faygo

GAIZKA: =Sleeping Meditating under a pile of those fuzzy rainbow robes. Legs kickied up against the side wall of the bus. Flicks an ear.= GAIZKA: only MoThErFuCkInG marinade WhAt will Do. =Tired bemused mumbling.=

QIRIN: Ugghhghghg

HIGHBLOOD: =Gaizka better be in the back with him= amen on that shit usual but nastyass blaspheme soaked up in it my motherfucker

HIGHBLOOD: =quirks eyebrow= .... one ought have words and extremities for her if that so be the realness, ain't too farfetched

GAIZKA: =If the back is where one has room for two 9 feet+ clowns then in the back he is. He hums.= stray souls in NeEd of some GuIdIn' AsSiSt or so it go. be So HiThEr, DiThEr or in the UnBrEaThAbLe.

DAVENFORTH: -Answer the question. Also he will eat that entire pie-

GAIZKA: =Shrugs a shoulder underneath the pile.= if so a HoLy BrOtHeR pReAcH. =You do you man. Everyone just feel yourselves.= GAIZKA: magnets got tHeM mAgNeTiC aEsThEtIc AtTrAcT themselves some FrEnEtiC.

DAVENFORTH: -This is why he likes you Gaizka-

PENNY: bro........... PENNY: hey big guy are you sharing that pie? I think this dude needs it more than anybody.

MAYOR: -EXCUSE-

DAVENFORTH: Thats just how he eats

PENNY: Im gonna call bullshit on the whole concept of eating then.

HIGHBLOOD: =reaches a long arm to put a potholder on Riley's head. Then balance the pie on it, assembles another one while putting a whole plate of corn muffins with honey glaze on the Gaizka pile= motherfucker seem mightily content

GAIZKA: =Shakes his head out of the pile to peer at the muffins placed upon him. He's just gonna help himself, thanks brosef.= GAIZKA: =Holds a muffin up in Lifera's direction and tilts his head quizzingly. Why the grumpy glubs? Have a muffin.=

DAVENFORTH: -Trying his best to keep Lifera as warm as possible.-

RILEY: -keeps completely still- is there a pie on my head or am i still asleep?

LIFERA: ... -Smiles a little and takes the muffin. Bites it in half in one sharp slice of teeth and offers some to Davenforth.-

TAKODA: -still driving- }8) -he's smiling, wide eyed and trying to stay awake.-

LIFERA: -soft glubs... she loves this clownfish. Speaking of love and this clownfish, she glances over at their driver.- Are you still ocray up there, Takoda?

DAVENFORTH: You want me to take over koda

TAKODA: ... TAKODA: THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE W1SE, 1F WE SW1TCHED...

DAVENFORTH: Get some rest buddy -Smooches Lifs head and gets up to head up front-

TAKODA: -pulls off to the side of the road at the first opportunity-

GAIZKA: =Looks over Liffy while she glances away. Does her hair need a brushin'..?=

DAVENFORTH: -He is the captain now, and he takes a seat, getting them moving again. Where even are they headed? We just don't know, but it would probably be wise to stop at a gas station soon-

QIRIN: =they can always grab a hose and steal gas=

QIRIN: =she was a teenager, once=

GAIZKA: =One does not simply stop being a teenager.=

TAKODA: -wanders towards the back with the clowns and finds himself a seat. he should sleep but... now that he's not distracted by driving his thoughts are racing. darn it.-

GAIZKA: =Welcome to Clowntown. Have a rainbow robe. He drapes it around Takoda's shoulders while humming. Strategically sings out some of the lyrics lowkey.= (can't you see, you're my delight,) =Hum hum.= (just feel like, i won't get you, out of my mind.) =What's up here come dat thought and it's gay as hell.=

GAIZKA: and this HoMeTtE? got just them BoD wAnDeRs or MiNd Be AlL iNcLuSiVe?

LIFERA: -squirms her round little self under his arm and snugs close, sighing.- Oh, I'm all thought out, I'm shore. My little ones are taken care of...

LIFERA: -And she's pretty prepared to throw herself into any oncoming frays, swords, bullets, etcetera. She doesn't really need to think much for that.-

GAIZKA: =Lowers his arm to wrap around her once she's snug like a bug in a rug.= AlLs them LiL ThOuGhTwAvEs done up and gone with themselves on the MoThErFuCkInG breeze. i feel you SiStEr.

DAVENFORTH: -Driving gives him time to focus, which for Dave maybe isn't the best thing but oh well. Earth was radically different since he last visited, and he still had no clue what was going on. Undoubtedly, Condy was behind the madness but...why split them up like this but leave them with means of communication? Was she that cocky? Taking a look at their fuel gauge, he figures they have a few more hours of travel time. He'll stop at the nearest gas station when he sees it.-

RILEY: - are you trying to focus Dave because get ready to be brocused. That pie she had is destroyed by now with no trace left. She plants herself in the seat nearest to the drivers- hey.

PENNY: -YEAH YOU GO UP THERE. She's gonna make herself cozy with the grand pieblood too.-

HIGHBLOOD: ain't nothin gotta get down lil sismiss HIGHBLOOD: shit doth occur in the time it's done dued up, you just ain't found it yet =She should check under her seat=

HIGHBLOOD: =He's looking under her seat, directly under the human buttsit, it's in a box with a big :o) on the top=

HIGHBLOOD: tend to be an agreeable motherfucker what with all mine charm and beauty =chinhands=

PENNY: you are hella both in large quantities to no ones surprise. pretty sure everything about you is large. -eats pie contemplatively.-

HIGHBLOOD: in comparison and proportion :o)

PENNY: okay so real question. how many of these pies could you put down?

HIGHBLOOD: damn...... i mix varieties up in my eatins don't gorge on a single thing till a brofo am full....

HIGHBLOOD: ain't never tried but now got reason to do so :o0

DAVENFORTH: -He appreciates the irony but he needs a cigarette-

HIGHBLOOD: =He's fuckin it up on the sax, its just giving you too much life Davenforth=

DAVENFORTH: -A bowl. He needs a bowl. But he doesn't want to lose his focus. He doesn't fight as well under the influence as he used to...-

HIGHBLOOD: =Haha you're old=

DAVENFORTH: -No he just leads a more sober lifestyle-

PENNY: -OLD AS FUCK.-

HIGHBLOOD: =Both, but good on you man. This one goes out to you. Doots soulfully=

DAVENFORTH: Schrodingers asshole

RILEY: wow. that makes so much sense.

DAVENFORTH: I was my own agent

DAVENFORTH: I never revealed dave skellingtons identity to the public

DAVENFORTH: And when he got assassinated i was around him but my death was never confirmed just presumed

RILEY: damn. i should have done that. pulled a hannah montana like you did.

DAVENFORTH: It made shit stupid difficult

RILEY: yeah probably because literally everyone knew who you were.

DAVENFORTH: I worked hard for it

RILEY: weren't there like babies whose first words were dave?

DAVENFORTH: Probably

RILEY: -she pauses- you got a killer headache, huh?

DAVENFORTH: You dont want your babies first word to be dave

QIRIN: =I do. An imaginary one.=

DAVENFORTH: -Babe chill-

JODIE: - she wants REAL pizza-

DAVENFORTH: I mean they were right werent they

RILEY: close enough. i don't think i was voted into anything. it would have been most likely to go to juvie for truancy.

JODIE: anybody got some water?

JODIE: -HER VOICE IS HOARSE. she got black out drunk and is now reaping the benefits.-

RILEY: -GIRL-

JODIE: -rubbing eyes.-

DAVENFORTH: -Nope only whiskey-

QIRIN: =she slowly rose to her feet and handed her an unopened water bottle= ^_^

JODIE: -blessed woman. makes a smooching sound at her and then CHUGS IT-  

QIRIN: =dear lord=

QIRIN: If I may interject... Perhaps slower consumption will aid you better...

JODIE: that was like a pre-party. imma wait til we have something to celebrate before i pull out all the stops.

JODIE: -GLUG GLUG???-

QIRIN: =mainly she doesn't want her to choke=

RILEY: you can't get her to slow down.

RILEY: it's impossible.

JODIE: -drinks half the bottle and passes it on back-

JODIE: -fishes in her purse and reapplies lip balm- thanks bby.

QIRIN: It's quite all right, please keep it. =YOU MAY NEED IT LATER=

JODIE: oh sweet. after i drink it all i can pee in the bottle.

JODIE: save us time.

JODIE: -TOSSES IT IN HER PURSE-

QIRIN: =frog god help her=

JODIE: i swear i can get it all in without a stray drop. it's a talent.

DAVENFORTH: Theres a bathroom -If you can call it that-

JODIE: damn. fancy ass bus.

RILEY: a bottle actually might be preferable.

JODIE: -MIGHT BE A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT SHE CAN'T SHOW OFF HER TALENT.-

RILEY: -has to pee aLL THE TIME THANKS RYAN-

RYAN: -rihanna winks from the womb-

RILEY: -GIRL!!!!-

DAVENFORTH: -Hark! Is that a gas station he sees in the distance?-

RILEY: -PLEASE JESUS-

DAVENFORTH: -Indeed it is! Davenforth pulls into the station. Is it abandoned we just don't know yet.-

DEREK: -eyes out the window-

DAVENFORTH: Alright kids its time for a rest

RILEY: i'm really fucking hungry. does this place have those rent a showers? not like i have any earth money on me. do they accept that anymore?

DAVENFORTH: -Shrugs-

QIRIN: What of trading?

RILEY: -blinks at qirin for a moment- oh. yeah! that.

DEREK: -stands up and stretches-

DAVENFORTH: Pretty sure they dont accept third borns

DAVENFORTH: Lets see if this place isnt abandoned first -Looks at Derek like you coming with?-

RILEY: -she's already walking out the bus-

DEREK: -HELL YEAH HE IS. nods at the brother and trots on after-

DAVENFORTH: -Hops off the bus-

DAVENFORTH: So if there aint anyone in there you think you remember how to do that thing behind the counter to get free gas

RILEY: -there better be some FOOD IN HERE-

DEREK: Sure I do. -ok hand- I got this.

RILEY: get us some fuel, baby.

DAVENFORTH: -Heads on in-

DAVENFORTH: Anybody home

RILEY: -curiously looks around. what's this place look like anyway-

QIRIN: Honestly. At the very least write an IOU.

DAVENFORTH: -It's much akin to a good sized seven eleven. Hot dog and pizza machine, aisles of snacks with the cooler section in the back with drinks. There's even a tv on the wall with the latest news. Everything is up and running but Davenforth notes it's quiet-

QIRIN: =what's on the telly?=

RILEY: -if there's no one in here she's gonna take some shit and run. she's checking some expiration dates on some chips to make sure-

DAVENFORTH: -Deez nuts-

DEREK: -peeks behind the counter casually. nobody's there, but maybe they're just in the bathroom or the back room or something. either way, he's hopping over the counter to do his thing.-

DAVENFORTH: -There's probably something on tv about policies the New dual juggalo presidents are going to be enacting. Boring stuff honestly. Oh yeah, Two juggalos won the presidency. Davenforth is trying to figure out how to make some tea for folks. Everyone is cold.-

RILEY: -she's stuffing her arms full of stuff like cheap hot dogs and sandwiches and donuts and a whole bunch of shit before just straight up slippin it in the sylladex. there's a bathroom and she's going to take this opportunity while it's here. tHERE sHE GOES-

DAVENFORTH: I can see why you married her

DEREK: -grins as he watches her go. she scurry.- Yeah... We used to get into all kinds of shit back in the way.

DAVENFORTH: Youre always getting into shit -He too, is stuffing his sylladex full of shit, non perishable food, water, Gatorade, microwavable burritos and pizza rolls...until he actually hears the named shaggy 2 dope and violent j. Now the tv has his full fucking attention-

RILEY: -busts out of the restrooms- okay, guys, i-- -she sees dave looking at the tv so she also is looking at the tv and not believing anything she's seeing right now-

QIRIN: =trying to ignore all this petty crime happening=

QIRIN: Can you believe it? =She's paritially asking herself that question=

DAVENFORTH: That would explain the rise of the juggalos

RILEY: -frowns- you sure this isn't one of those sketch comedy shows? or a mockumentary?

DAVENFORTH: Afraid not

DEREK: -furrows brows at the tv- Whats the point of fucking the planet over to this degree? Did all the Alternian imperialized planets get this kinda treatment?

RILEY: this is fucking ridiculous. how is this a thing? who made this a thing?

To explain why it has the tail 2.0, there’s an original version called SpyStream. However, I wanna say it’s still a whole new product because the first version was just a WP plugin.

Launched in JVZoo in November, SpyStream 2.0 is a product which allows you to track all your customers’ behaviors on the sites you set up. You can watch the complete recording screen of their visiting on your sites: where they click, how many times they click in a spot, where they hover their mouse,…

One more thing is SpyStream 2.0 doesn’t put the limit on what kind of page you can spy. Instead, you can integrate this system into sale page, landing page, squeeze page or whatever you want.

So, are you excited yet? Or just curious? Let’s follow me in this SpyStream 2.0 Review to find out more!

About the author

SpyStream2.0 was developed by Rohan Chaudhari and Harshal Jadhav. After creating SpyStream last year, they received many favorable feedbacks from online marketers which hoped they can turn this amazing idea into a software to use on any sites instead of only WP. And they did it. This November, SpyStream 2.0 came out with many updates.

Both of these guys have been working on IM for long with much experience. They are also familiar vendors on different affiliate platforms such as Warrrior Plus or JVZoo. You should check out some of their products like Vidviral, LeadOHM,…

Within the demo video below, Rohan Chaudhari and his colleagues, the creator of SpyStream app, is going to show how the software works.

Personal Experience

From the first time I use this, I really liked that it can help me watch all my visitors’ activity logs. I could see how they hesitated at a product, what they had typed in but then deleted. In particular, I put a panel at site. I didn’t realize that much until I saw many visitors had to scroll many time to see what’s behind that panel. Thanks to this product, I could design my page for better convenience.

Pros and Cons

Pros:

User friendly and easy to use, even a newbie can quickly grab it at first use

Support tracking on all pages and on all page builders

Manage multiple sites from one dashboard

Entry and exit statistics

Cons:

I haven’t noticed any errors

Price and Evaluation

The front end price for SpyStream 2.0 is $27 for only one time payment on the whole lifetime use. You won’t have to pay extra expense further. This’s really an affordable price. In case you want more features, I want to introduce some upsell version in this review, too.

The first is OTO1 web stream which will cost you $67. Another package is SpyStream White Label worth $97. This OTO2 is a real business needs especially for marketing agency. You can help your clients understand their problems better than ever.

So, that’s what I want to share with you about this product in my SpyStream 2.0 Review. In conclusion, I think this is a great and potential app, which can improve efficiently your conversion based on the understanding of customer behaviors.

It is ungodly for Christian women to wear high heels - Nigerian pastor says

A Nigerian pastor has come out to say that high heel shoes is not the solution to keeping a marriage or living a happy life.

He placed the the christain woman side by side with her adornment and the value it brings to her and her home. He termed a christian woman wearing heels as "married to the world".

Using Nigerian celebrity ladies as a yard stick, he claimed that the ones that have more heel shoes and do more make-ups have ended up divorced.

In his Facebook post, he said that some ladies are living hell on earth because of what they wear and the importance they place on it which has not stopped their spouses from cheating on them.

- Bisola Aiyeola has responded to being called ugly by a follower

- She shut the follower up by embracing the remark stating it is her ‘ugliness’

Bisola Aiyeola, the second runner up of the 2017 Big Brother Naija reality show has given an epic response to a follower who called her ugly after she posted a video of herself on Instagram without wearing makeup.

Bisola who is well loved by Nigerians was doing her usual thing and reaching out to people around her with the resumption of children on holiday drawing near. As a mother herself, Bisola understands what this season means for many parents.

Therefore, her message focused on the financial status of people around her as she prayed for them saying may they have enough to cater for their families.

Be ready to fight, nobody should be afraid of police or army - Governor Wike tells followers ahead of 2019 election

- Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike has vowed to lay down his life if needed during the upcoming 2019 election

- Wike said he is aware that the opposition party is planning to take over his state in the coming election

- He urged his followers to disregard the police and 'be ready to fight'

The governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has vowed that he would do anything to stop the All Progressive Congress (APC) from winning election in 2019.

Wike vowed to lay down his life if it would stop the opposition party from winning in his state during the upcoming election.

In what sounds more like a call to violence, the governor urged the people to ignore the army and police and 'be ready to fight'.

According to the governor's spokesperson, Simon Nwakaudu, Wike made the statement at a Thanksgiving Service in honour of Senator George Thompson Sekibo at the St Thomas Anglican Church in Diobu on Sunday.

Wike accused the APC of bringing disaster into the country and using the security operatives to oppress the opposition.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

He said: “Instead of bringing change as they promised, things are getting worse. They have introduced extreme fraud in the country, especially denying the people their mandate.

“2019, they will not succeed. As far as pee are concerned, we have no senator in Rivers East. The man going there has no capacity to represent us. All of us should be ready. We should be praying to God, but ready to fight”.

The governor ordered his followers to not be afraid of the Police and the Army in the defence of their mandate in 2019.

“Nobody should be afraid of the Police or Army, because liberty comes with a price. They have nothing to campaign with outside the use of security. I am ready to place myself on line, nobody will take Rivers state."

Meanwhile, the Rivers state chapter of the APC said it has taken note of the threats of Nyesom Wike, governor of the state.

The APC spokesperson in the state, Chris Finebone said: “Rivers people and Nigerians are fed up with the governor’s antics of praising the judiciary when judgements favour his interest and lampooning the judiciary when otherwise happens.

“The APC has taken notice of his subtle threat of violence come 2019. We can only remind him that 2019 won’t be 2015. Never. A word is enough for the wise, they say.”

Osinbajo visited Rivers state on Thursday, July 27, and inaugurated a fertiliser plant built by Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Limited and two other projects by the state government.

Wike, however insisted that the Rivers APC prevented Osinbajo from inaugurating the remaining projects executed by his administration and even tried to prevent him (Osinbajo) from coming.

The governor said he wondered why the APC leadership would discourage the Acting President from inaugurating other projects in the state.

War against Corruption: Looters are worse than armed robbers - EFCC cries out

- The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has described corrupt Nigerians as being worse than armed robbers

- The Commission assured Nigerians that it was working really hard to ensure a logical conclusion of all corruption cases

- Nigerians were further urged to place all hands on deck in prosecuting the war against corruption; as the Commission noted that this was the only way it would succeed

Corrupt Nigerians have been described as being worse than armed robbers, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to reports, the Commission made its comments through its deputy head, Ibadan zonal office, Mr. Kazeem Oseni, while speaking at the 13th Biennial Conference of the Obafemi Awolowo University Muslim Graduates’ Association (UNIFEMGA), Ibadan chapter themed 'Fight Against Corruption: Where are the religious leaders and institutions?'

Speaking on the topic, 'Corruption in Nigeria: An overview and the efforts of the EFCC in fighting the scourge', Oseni stated: “Quite frankly, the enabling and operating environment in Nigeria vis-a-vis anti-corruption war, has not been very encouraging.

“Issues such as legal technicalities, lack of cooperation from some states and local governments, public attitude towards corruption, the phenomenon of corruption mentality in Nigeria; as well as slow judicial system occasioned by tactics of defense lawyers and interlocutory appeals, seriously undermine the commission’s efforts in taming corruption.”

Oseni assured Nigerians that the EFCC was working hard to ensure a logical conclusion of all corruption cases.

This was in response to claims that the Commission had not lived up to expectations.

He stated that most of the cases people assume as having died down, are in fact still being investigated.

In his words: “It is very, very difficult for the EFCC case to die expect it is concluded. If you see a case, maybe investigation is still ongoing”.

Oseni further stated: “In conclusion, all hands must be on the deck to ensure we succeed in the fight against corruption.

“We consider everybody a stakeholder, as the EFCC does not have monopoly of knowledge to defeat all shade of graft.

“We all have a role to play as individuals, and it is when we all change our attitude that we can see it reflected in the society.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“No doubt, all stakeholders and functional institutions are crucial in the maintenance of a high quality of moral values within the social system; and the success or failure of our fight against corruption will depend on our willingness to take the fight through an ethical path.”

Sallah: Muslims lament as economic downturn bites hard on ram sales

- Some of the ram markets across Nigeria are experiencing low patronage as Sallah period draws near

- The low patronage in ram markets have also been attributed to economic downturn in Nigeria

- Some Muslims have also said they will ditch rams for either goats or cows shared collectively among neighbours

As preparation for the celebration of the Eid-El-Kabir is in full gear, some of the ram markets across Nigeria are experiencing low patronage.

Premium Times reports that a visit to Zango Market in Tudun Wada, the ‘yan Tumaki ram market Kawo,’ and some other market show that there is relatively low turnout due to the present economic downturn in Nigeria.

The celebration of Eid-El-Kabir which begins on Friday, September 1, as announced by the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa'ad Abubakar, is associated with killing of rams.

However, as sellers flood the markets, they decry the growing low patronage on the ram business.

One of the ram sellers, Kasimu Sani, said that the outcome of this year's sale is 'scary'.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

Sani said: “We are not happy at all this year. What is scary about this year is that many people have collected their salaries in Kaduna and yet nobody is coming here. People are saying they would rather make food available during the festivities than doing Layya which is optional.”

He added that the sellers are careful not to irrationally increase the prices of rams.

“This year, we tried as much as possible to make the rams as cheap as possible. Rams goes for as low as N20,000 for now. If the demand increases, the prices will increase and we are looking at the next two to three days," Sani said.

Others who spoke on the plight said they believe the prices of rams will be low this year.

A civil servant, Sanusi Danladi, said the size of the rams can no longer be a problem.

Danladi who revealed he was used to buying big rams as an act of 'Ibadah' said he no longer thinks the sizes are an issue.

“I used to buy big rams every year but since last year, size does not matter anymore. It is an act ‘Ibadah’ and what I can afford is what I will buy," he said.

A farmer, Hassan Karami, said he will not be making ram sacrifices this year due to lack of funds.

Karami said he invested all his money into his farming business and he's currently left with nothing.

It was also gathered that some Muslims have settled for goats rather than rams as an option for their Sallah sacrifices while other a contributing money to buy cow and share.

Sa’idu Bala, a Kaduna resident, said: “I have settled for a goat which I have paid for already. I paid N12,000 for it and that is settled. My neighbours contributed N18,000 each to but one cow for the sacrifice.”

What you must do after God snatched you from the jaws of death - Ex-Jonathan's aide sends message to Buhari

- Doyin Okupe has advised President Buhari to organise a thanksgiving for surviving his illness

- He said many people did not expect him to survive his illness

- The former presidential aide advised him to use the opportunity to change the country for good

Doyin Okupe has written an open memo to President Muhammadu Buhari urging him to thank God for saving his life and “snatching him from the jaw of death.”

In the memo which he posted on his Facebook, Okupe noted that many people did not expect the president to survive but he did.

He advised the president to make moves that will benefit the country and restore faith in him.

Read the memo below

Your Excellency,

You are welcome back from your long sojourn outside the country on account of your illness.

Many, including those around you, and others currently felicitating with you had given up on you and actually started working on plans based on their assumption that you were not likely to come back alive.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

In truth, for which you can bear witness yourself, God Almighty snatched you from the jaws of death. This was not because you were president, or the millions you spent, or the extra competence of your doctors; since great people succumb to death, even in the UK and despite their medical expertise.

You survived purely by the mercy of God, the creator of all flesh. That is why I was surprised that on your return, you thought it was more important to satisfy the demand of those who did not wish you well, or derided you for your ill-health.

Your Excellency, what you needed to do, and you should still do, is to show appreciation to God who preserved your life and kept you alive against all evil expectations.

On your instruction sir, glory must be given to God Almighty. All mosques should praise and thank God on your behalf on a chosen Friday. You may participate in this with family and close associates in the Villa Mosque. Your vice can lead a thanksgiving service at the Villa and this can be done throughout the country on the Sunday that follows.

God has brought you back for a purpose; pray to know that purpose and ask for health and strength to achieve it.

As our leader, and a God-fearing nation, let us begin to acknowledge God in our national affairs, so that He may direct and prosper our ways.

However, in your long absence, a lot has happened in the country.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

The country is in dire straits economically and sharply divided like never before; geopolitically and also along religious lines.

Your broadcast has not helped. But you are an elected president and you can broadcast to the nation as many times as you deem fit if you feel there is a need to make certain corrections in the previous broadcast. You don’t even have to go through the elaborate and strenuous route of the LIVE TV broadcasts because of your health.

I know that your last 6 minutes broadcast may have taken 1 hour or more to get it right.

You can achieve more in radio broadcasts which you can actually do weekly from the comfort of your home; with the least stress.

This way, you can talk to the nation less formally and from your heart, on your perspectives, your vision and dreams, your hopes and plans for its teeming masses. People will concentrate more on your message than your person. Ronald Regan and Obama used this broadcast tool most effectively with a positive impact on the citizens.

I am not one of your fans or avid supporters. In fact, I did all I could to stop you from becoming an elected president. I have no regrets. It was a competition, in which I had my own candidate, but God and the people of Nigeria have decided in your favour and as far as I am concerned, the matter has been long settled.

However, your Excellency, you and your administration have so much to accomplish but unfortunately, the time is now very short.

The presidential elections are in February 2019. That is barely 18 months away.

However, by June/July next year (just 10 months away), activities of government wind down and the nation goes into full swing mode of politicking and preparing for the February elections.

NAIJ.com had reported that Okupe said it will be wrong for the acting president, Yemi Osinbajo, to run for presidency if anything should happen to President Buhari.

Okupe in an interview with Nigerian Tribune said the northern region of Nigeria will feel cheated out if Osinbajo runs for president in 2019, citing the case of a former president, late Umaru Yar'Adua,

Okupe said the northerners are scared that what happened in 2010 after Yar'Adua's death might happen again.

Ohanaeze under fire from northern elders for opposing Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest

The newspapers for Monday, August 28, focus on the feud between the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) and Ohanaeze Ndigbo over the leader of IPOB, Nnmdi Kanu.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has criticised the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, for warning against the re-arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The forum on Sunday, August 27, condemned Ohanaeze Ndigbo for being opposed to the federal government’s plan to re-arrest Kanu.

The Punch reports that the chairman of NEF Paul Unongo, said the northern elders were disappointed that Ohanaeze had trivialised a criminal matter.

The Punch newspaper for Monday, August 28, 2017, photo credit: snapshot from NAIJ.com

NEF flayed the Ohanaeze for comparing the ultimatum issued by the northern youths to the actions of Kanu.

The forum said: “Leaders should be careful about what they support. This is the kind of thing that happened when our young men from the North, feeling cheated and angry with the old men from Kanu’s place for not cautioning Kanu, did what they did (ultimatum).

“But I came out immediately and said Nigerians have inalienable right to reside anywhere. I did that even to the detriment of my friendship with some people.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

“But what Ohanaeze members are doing is that they are giving the impression that if someone commits a crime and is from their tribe, he shouldn’t be tried. I don’t understand.

“Are they saying he (Kanu) should not be tried until someone from another part of the country is arrested? That will invite chaos to the country.”

The Nation newspaper reports on the confessions of a member of Boko Haram, Auwal Ismaeela, who said he led the kidnap of 276 schoolgirls from the government secondary school in Chibok, Borno state on April 15, 2014.

The Nation newspaper for Monday, August 28, 2017, photo credit: snapshot from NAIJ.com

Ismaeela, who has surrendered to the military, also stated that he led other major operations and said he regretted his actions.

The PRNigeria report said: “Ahead of the Islamic festival of Eid-Kabir coming up by the weekend, a top Boko Haram commander who played a major role in the abduction of Chibok girls and killing of youths in Madagali has surrendered and confessed to several acts of bloodletting on innocent people and destruction of properties across the length and breadth of the North-eastern part of the country.

“In an interview with PRNigeria at a military facility for the repentant and surrendered Boko Haram members in the Northeast, the ex-terrorist leader said he regretted the atrocities he was forced to commit against humanity.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“The commander, Auwal Ismaeela, is currently cooperating with the Nigerian military with useful information on locations and hideouts of other top commanders of the deadly sect. He regretted his actions which, according to him, run counter to several Islamic injunctions.

In a related development, a former commander of the Boko Haram group, Abdulkadir Abubakar, has claimed that two factions of the group are ready for talks with the federal government.

Vanguard reports that Abubakar, also known as Abu Muhammad, was the chief intelligence officer of the Boko Haram group and one of its top commanders, until his arrest in June by the military in Buni Yadi in Gujba Local Government area of Yobe state.

Vanguard newspaper for Monday, August 28, 2017, photo credit: snapshot from NAIJ.com

Abubakar said at his cell in Maiduguri that Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions of Boko Haram were willing to dialogue and cooperate with the government to defeat the most visible leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau.

Abubakar revealed deep divisions and power struggle among the insurgents, claiming the Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions were opposed to Shekau’s leadership style and bloodthirstiness.

According to him, Shekau, whose capture, dead or alive, the military high command has ordered, has been the major obstacle to peace, since the insurgency began in 2009.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

Abubakar’s claim about the readiness of the factions to dialogue with the Nigerian authorities could not be verified as he had been incarcerated since June. But he insisted that the groups are predisposed to a peaceful resolution of the eight year-old crisis.

Meanwhile, as part of measures to battle global warming, Nigeria may ban petrol and diesel vehicles within the next decade being a signatory to the Paris treaty.

The real truth about the Biafra Secret Service; how it is funded and how members are recruited (Special Report)

- The investigation unearthed how the group has a dual purpose of protection and investigation (against activities of saboteurs)

- BSS recruiters reportedly look out for individuals who can speak foreign languages and honor top candidates with awards at the end of the training programme

- Salaries are reportedly paid out based on ranks; with senior officers being paid more than those in lower levels

A recently published in-depth investigative report has revealed that there is more to the newly inaugurated Biafra Secret Service (BSS), than meets the eye.

At a drill session held at Kanu’s home, one of the group’s commanders, Mr. Aguoche Obidike, was allegedly heard saying, “We are Biafra Secret Service men that have volunteered to defend Biafran land.

“Like our leader will rightly say, we are here to restore Biafra.

“We have come in peace but if the option given to us to restore Biafra is violent, without fear, the men and women are ready to take the land of Biafra from invaders and looters.”

The investigation unearthed how the group has a dual purpose of protection and investigation.

While charged with the responsibility of protecting Nnamdi Kanu, the group also investigates ‘criminal activities’ like plans of sabotage against IPOB.

It was further revealed that BSS members are selected based on qualifications from diverse backgrounds of individuals based in ‘Biafra land’ and all over the world.

The recruiters reportedly look out for people who can speak foreign languages.

According to a source, “This requires that the applicant should be able to speak the language with sufficient structural accuracy and vocabulary to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations on practical, social and professional topics.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“At the completion of all required training and graduation from the BSS training program, the graduating students would be posted to various offices while the best graduating student would be given an honorary award.”

A recruitment advert seen by the investigative reporter stated the following: “Candidates must be Biafra citizens and must submit to urinalysis screening for illegal drug use prior to appointment.

“All Secret Service positions require a Top Secret security clearance.

“All applicants must undergo a full, Secret Service-specific, Top Secret clearance process regardless of who you are; certain positions may also require the applicant to successfully complete OATH of trust and medical examination.

“Age, vision and excellent physical condition requirements may also apply and more.”

The advert reportedly bears no provisions for passport photos and identification cards are not issued to the successful recruits.

A member of the group who joined from Rivers state, Nelson Madu, stated: “Before you talk about joining the Service, you must be an IPOB member and you must believe in all its tenets and principles.

"You must be an able-bodied man or woman and be ready to render selfless service to Biafra-land.

The group in a statement signed by its coordinator and secretary, Jude Ndukwe and Amaka Ekwo, accused the federal government of bias as it claimed it looked the other way when the Arewa youths issued a quit notice to the Igbos living in the north.

IRA throwing its weight behind Ohanaeze Ndigbo said the Coalition of Northern groups committed serious crime in their issuance of quit notice to fellow citizens living in the north.

IRA in its statement also queried the northern leaders, elders and youths obsession with Nnamdi Kanu whom they said has never been known to carry arms against the state.

The group said: “We find it unacceptable that groups ranked the first and fourth deadliest terrorist organizations respectively in the world are of the Hausa/Fulani stock from the north and are being allowed a field day to kill innocent Nigerians with reckless abandon while Nnamdi Kanu who has been a victim of gross abuse of his rights and the killing of his IPOB members without any provocation or reprisal of any kind on his part is being threatened with re-arrest and his IPOB group vindictively labeled and treated like a terrorist organization that it is not by government officials and Arewa youths who are obviously playing out a script written for them by their elders and leaders."

The group further said it finds it irrational that the federal government is only concerned about stoking the heat in an already flaming polity.

The group said the federal government should be focused on finding ways to douse the rising tensions across Nigeria.

JAMB cut-off: Federal University of Gusau sets 170 mark

- Federal University Gusau has announced a cut-off mark of 170 for the 2017/2018 academic session

- There has been a lot of outcry regarding the JAMB cut-off mark of 120 recently introduced to Nigerian students

- The decision to set 170 as minimum cut-off marks was taken after getting statistics on the candidates who applied for admission

Following the announcement of the 120 cut-off mark, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned candidates that it does not guarantee automatic admission into higher institutions.

Their statement read: “The 120 cut off mark doesn’t mean an automatic ticket for admission. Institutions will still admit using established criteria of merit and others."

According to NAN, the Federal University Gusau has announced 170 as minimum mark for the JAMB cut-off marks for admission into the university for the 2017/2018 academic session.

On Saturday, August 26, Umar Usman, the information officer of the university disclosed that the university management had arrived at the decision to set 170 as minimum cut-off marks after getting statistics on the candidates who applied for admission into the institution.

He said the university was only given a quota to admit 1,500 students through JAMB and Direct Entry for the coming academic session.

According to him, over 5,000 applicants applied for admission into the University.

“If we will stick to the 120-minimum cut off marks given by the JAMB, majority of applicants who are going to attend the University’s aptitude test for the admission will not get it.

“We decided to minimize the difficulty by raising our points to 170 so that most of those that will pay for post UTME in the university will get the admission,” he explained.

The UN made this known in a publication obtained from the office of the United Nations high commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

"An ultimatum telling Nigeria’s Igbo minority in the north of the country to flee their homes is of “grave concern”, a group of United Nations human rights experts* has warned.

"The experts also deplored a hate song and audio message being circulated on the internet and on social media. The Hausa-language audio message urges northern Nigerians to destroy the property of Igbo people and kill anyone who refuses to leave by 1 October, the same date given in the ultimatum.

“We are gravely concerned about this proliferation of hate messages and incitement to violence against the Igbo and their property, especially considering the previous history of such violence,” the experts said.

“The government must be vigilant, as hate speech and incitement can endanger social cohesion and threaten peace by deepening the existing tensions between Nigeria’s ethnic communities.”

"The ultimatum was issued on 6 June 2017 during a press briefing by the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum in the city of Kaduna. It called for sustained and coordinated campaigns to remove the Igbo population from the northern region.

"The human rights experts noted that some local and national figures, as well as some media representatives, had publicly denounced any form of hate speech and incitement, but said other officials still needed to follow suit.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“We are deeply concerned that some prominent local leaders and elders have not condemned the ultimatum, hate speech and the perpetrators,” the experts stressed.

“We call on the Government, media and civil society representatives, and local and religious leaders, to reject and condemn hate speech and incitement to violence unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms.”

Captured Boko Haram commander reveals where Abubakar Shekau is currently hiding

- A former chief intelligence officer of the Boko Haram group, Abdulkadir Abubakar, says two factions of the group are ready for talks with the federal government

- Abdulkadir Abubakar, also known as Abu Muhammad, states that Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has been the major obstacle to peace, since the insurgency began in 2009

- Abu Muhammad expresses willingness to give the military useful information to crush the insurgents and arrest Shekau

A former Boko Haram commander, Abdulkadir Abubakar, has disclosed that the elusive leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau, has left his enclave in Sambisa forest and is currently hiding in Mandara Mountain.

Abdulkadir Abubakar, also known as Abu Muhammad, was the chief intelligence officer of the Boko Haram group and one of its top commanders, until his arrest in June by the military in Buni Yadi in Gujba local government area of Yobe state.

He said two factions of the group were ready for talks with the federal government.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

Abubakar told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at his cell in Maiduguri that Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions of Boko Haram were willing to dialogue and cooperate with the government to defeat the most visible leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau.

According to him, Shekau, whose capture, dead or alive, the military high command has ordered, has been the major obstacle to peace, since the insurgency began in 2009.

“Shekau is not willing to surrender due to his high handedness. Unfortunately, the government and military authorities accorded priority on dealing with Shekau, who is blood thirsty.

“Albarnawi has indicated interest to dialogue with the government to end insurgency and provide a lasting solution to the crisis. Albarnawi discusses this with members of his circle. And I can assure the government that he would cooperate to achieve peace.

“The two factions are willing to cooperate with Nigerian Government to defeat Shekau,” he said.

Abubakar’s claim about the readiness of the factions to dialogue with the Nigerian authorities could not be verified as he had been incarcerated since June. But he insisted that the groups are predisposed to a peaceful resolution of the eight year-old crisis.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

Abubakar claimed to have undertaken various espionage missions and provided intelligence to the insurgents, which enabled them to hit a long list of targets, among which were the abduction of 275 students at Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok and the killings of students at federal government College, Buni Yadi. Over 20 students were murdered at Buni Yadi.

He also claimed to have been involved in other attacks on schools in Maiduguri, Damaturu, Postikum and Mamudo.

The detained Boko Haram commander expressed his willingness to give the military useful information to crush the insurgents and arrest Shekau.

“I am cooperating with the military and I am ready to provide information on the whereabouts of Shekau. Shekau has left his enclave in Sambisa and moved deep into Mandara Mountain. I know the area where he is hiding and willing to provide a guide to the military.

“The intensified military offensive has weakened Shekau’s position and that of the other groups,” he added.

Abubakar revealed deep divisions and power struggle among the insurgents, claiming the Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions were opposed to Shekau’s leadership style and his bloodthirstiness.

He also blamed Shekau for many attacks on civilians by the Boko Haram insurgents.

“During the early days of the insurgency we fought for what we thought was a just cause, to establish a caliphate where human beings are valued, cherished and respected.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

“After annexing vast territories, Shekau began to demonstrate his cruelty and atrocities against humanity.

“In view of the high level atrocities committed by the group, some of the top commanders including myself, Albarnawi and Mamman Nur challenged Shekau, demanding an immediate end to the ugly saga.

“Thereafter, Albarnawi and Mamman Nur parted ways, and formed their groups. Shekau is responsible for bombings and attack on soft targets in the North-East.

“The Albarnawi and Mamman Nur groups never attacked schools, religious places of worship, markets, women and children. Our fight was strictly with security forces. Even the kidnapped oil workers would not be killed by the group,” he said.

According to him, both Mamman Nur and AlBarnawi opposed the abduction of the Chibok school girls, women and children.

“Shekau is fond of using the girls and other abducted women as toys, and bombers. He kills on the pretence of punishing for lies, theft, and rebellion. Shekau kills without justification.

“Shekau arrogated to himself the powers to accuse, prosecute, convict and punish in total contradiction to Islamic teachings. Children and women also starved to death in Sambisa due to Shekau’s cruelty,” he said.

Meanwhile, a top Boko Haram commander who co-led the operation that resulted in the abduction of about 276 girls in the town of Chibok on April 14, 2014, has surrendered to the Nigerian army.

The commander, Auwal Ismaeela, is currently helping the Nigerian Military with useful information on locations and hideouts of other top commanders of the sect.

Ismaeela, who also led several Boko Haram operations in the northeast which resulted in the killings of innocent people and destruction of properties said he regretted his actions.

Ijaw youths issue warning to President Buhari over alleged plans to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu

- The IYC criticises the federal government for the way it handled the quit notice issued by a coalition of Arewa youths to Igbos residing in the north

- The group claims the Buhari administration would have handled the issue differently had the threat emanated from another tribe

- The IYC faults the government for detaining several Niger Delta youth activists when the Arewa youths are being treated differently

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has said the plan by the Buhari administration to re-arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, for allegedly violating his bail would set Nigeria in flames.

The IYC, according to Sahara reporters, criticised the federal government for the way it handled the quit notice issued by a coalition of Arewa youths to Igbos living in the north.

The group claimed that the Buhari administration would have handled the issue differently had the threat emanated from another tribe.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

“It is the height of nepotism and sectionalism for the Buhari administration to treat the Arewa youth leaders who committed a serious offense bordering on a threat to national security with kid gloves while the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is being threatened with arrest and several Niger Delta activists are languishing in detention,” the IYC said.

The IYC faulted the government for detaining several Niger Delta youth activists such as Ezekiel Daniel, Alex Odogu, ex-militant leader Bonny Gawei, and several others in underground detention cells while the Arewa youths were enjoying state dinners.

The group said the government should not re-arrest Kanu or any other agitator in other part of the country until appropriate action is taken against Arewa youths for issuing a quit notice to Igbos residing in the northern region.

“We wish to state clearly that the Buhari administration has lost the justification to threaten to re-arrest Mr. Nnamdi Kanu or any other agitator in the southern part of Nigeria. Nigerians ought to be treated equally irrespective of their place of origin or ethnic background. We also strongly advise against the planned revocation of the bail and arrest of the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. Arresting Nnamdi Kanu would set Nigeria in flames,” the IYC stated.

Kanu while speaking at Boys Technical College (BTC) in Aba, Abia state, said that the agitation for Biafra is a “message from heaven.”

The IPOB leader who is aware that the federal government has commenced process to have him rearrested said that anyone who tries to arrest him will not leave Biafra land alive, the Cable reports.

Presidency dismisses rumours that Osinbajo has been sidelined by a cabal

- The presidency has reacted to media reports accusing a cabal of running the affairs of Aso Rock

- The report specifically mentioned the president's Chief of Staff (CoS), Abba Kyari

- The report also stated that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been sidelined in the scheme of things in government circles

The presidency has alerted the public on an orchestrated campaign to smear the good name of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, by a section of the press.

Malam Garba Shehu, the president’s senior special assistant on media and publicity stated this in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, August 28.

According to him, some allegations being levelled against the president’s CoS are indirectly aimed at rubbishing the successes being recorded by the Buhari administration.

He described those behind the campaign as mere blackmailers and extortionists who were bent on creating unnecessary but imaginary division and misunderstanding between President Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and the CoS.

PAY ATTENTION: Read the news on Nigeria’s #1 news app

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

“A careful assessment of some these allegations with a rational mind will show that there is an orchestrated campaign to smear the CoS and indirectly the president.

“If I can speculate on the matter, I will say that the problem Malam Abba Kyari has with most people is that he, like the president he serves, will not throw money at people in order to please them.

“As CoS, Malam has refused to keep cash imprest and has turned down a monthly grant of N200 million customarily given to the office.

“This is money freely spent because they were not required to account for what they did with it,’’ he said.

The presidential aide further noted that when the president was away on the medical vacation, the CoS rallied the presidency behind Professor Osinbajo because he knew that his boss, President Buhari expected nothing less.

He said: “As Acting President, Vice President Osinbajo enjoyed the support of the Villa Staff and the entire cabinet. Otherwise he would not have succeeded and earn the praises of the President.

"These are just a few among the false and illogical accusations making the CoS larger than life, with the aim of pulling him down. No Chief of Staff including this one can create hurdles for a president and survive the next day.

“The roles and duties don’t warrant the kind of falsehood being spread.’’

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

Shehu therefore dispelled the false notion that some individuals had tried to undermine the vice president when he acted in the absence of the president.

The presidential spokesman also dismissed as “absolutely nonsensical and absurd’’ to write that in one week of the President’s return, Osinbajo had been sidelined.

He stated that, “quite to the contrary, the vice president remains the confidante and the closest adviser to the president.”

He noted that Vice President Osinbajo had attended all the president’s engagements all through the week with the exception of two: one, the VP was away to Taraba state and two, the Juma’at Muslim prayer because he is a Christian.

Shehu also dismissed the assertion in some quarters that President Buhari was being manipulated by the certain cabal in the Presidential Villa.

“It is difficult to understand what anyone wants to achieve peddling such falsehood that the President, himself a former military general and Head of State and Commander-In-Chief is subject to undue influence and manipulation.

“It is both ridiculous and inconceivable.

“As someone who works very closely with President Buhari, I can testify to how my years of experience as a newspaper editor are often put to the test by the sheer thoroughness with which the President edits every single document brought to his desk.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

“Every memo, statement, speech, is subject to his intense scrutiny, right down to the placement of commas and full stops.

“Therefore, alleging that President Buhari signs memos brought to him by government officials or a so-called cabal without reading them, immediately casts doubts on the credibility of the ubiquitous unnamed sources that the reporters of these articles quote.

“But, of course, the president cannot do everything. He cannot micromanage every task.

“That is why he needs close officials, whom he trusts, who will be willing to offend others in the process of ensuring his own safety and wellbeing, and the advancement of his vision for Nigeria,’’ he added.(NAN)

Afenifere takes side with Nnamdi Kanu, blasts FG for not arresting Arewa youths

- Afenifere has advised the federal government to be fair in dealing with all Nigerians

- The group said Nnamdi Kanu should not be re-arrested, warning that it will heat up the polity of the nation

- The group pointed out that it was clear the government had double standard

The Pan-Yoruba sociology-cultural group, Afenifere, has issued a warning to the federal government not to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu as doing so ill heat up the polity of the country.

There has been report that the federal government was planning to arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and The Punch reports that Afenifere accused the government of double standard.

Yinka Odumakin who is the publicity secretary of the group advised the government to engage in dialogue with the group rather than trying to fight them.

He said: “The idea of re-arresting Kanu will overheat the polity, more so when youths in the north that issued a notice to quit were not arrested. Even after the Kaduna State Governor and the Vice President ordered their arrest, the police did nothing.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

“The Minister of Internal Affairs said the youths were not arrested because they claimed they were misquoted, but a few days ago, the youths in the presence of some governors withdrew the order.”

He advised the government to apply law equally rather than using different measures for peoples based on their states of origin.

He said: “The government is giving the impression that what is red line for someone from a particular region is green line for someone in another part of the country; I think it is better the government engaged to bring down the tension rather than strong-arm tactics that would overheat the polity.

“There is a clear double standard and that is not good for inclusiveness. What the government should do is ensure even application of the law and engage more youths more rather indulge in sabre-rattling.”

Meanwhile, Bianca, the widow of the late Biafra warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu, called on those asking residents of Anambra state to boycott the forthcoming governorship election to have a rethink or face the consequences.

Bianca also asked the agitators to commence the boycott in their own states and leave Anambra alone.

Last season EPL runners up, Tottenham's ‘Wembley curse’ continued on Sunday as they drew 1-1 with Burnley, conceding a late equaliser.

Chris Wood scored a 92nd-minute equaliser on his Premier League debut for Burnley to secure a 1-1 draw and continue Tottenham's problems at Wembley.

The North London club had lost seven of their last 10 matches at Wembley prior to Sunday's game, having been beaten 2-1 by Chelsea last time out thanks to Marcos Alonso's last-gasp winner.

Be ready to fight, nobody should be afraid of police or army - Governor Wike tells followers ahead of 2019 election

- Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike has vowed to lay down his life if needed during the upcoming 2019 election

- Wike said he is aware that the opposition party is planning to take over his state in the coming election

- He urged his followers to disregard the police and 'be ready to fight'

The governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike, has vowed that he would do anything to stop the All Progressive Congress (APC) from winning election in 2019.

Wike vowed to lay down his life if it would stop the opposition party from winning in his state during the upcoming election.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

In what sounds more like a call to violence, the governor urged the people to ignore the army and police and 'be ready to fight'.

According to the governor's spokesperson, Simon Nwakaudu, Wike made the statement at a Thanksgiving Service in honour of Senator George Thompson Sekibo at the St Thomas Anglican Church in Diobu on Sunday.

Wike accused the APC of bringing disaster into the country and using the security operatives to oppress the opposition.

He said: “Instead of bringing change as they promised, things are getting worse. They have introduced extreme fraud in the country, especially denying the people their mandate.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“2019, they will not succeed. As far as pee are concerned, we have no senator in Rivers East. The man going there has no capacity to represent us. All of us should be ready. We should be praying to God, but ready to fight”.

The governor ordered his followers to not be afraid of the Police and the Army in the defence of their mandate in 2019.

“Nobody should be afraid of the Police or Army, because liberty comes with a price. They have nothing to campaign with outside the use of security. I am ready to place myself on line, nobody will take Rivers state."

Meanwhile, the Rivers state chapter of the APC said it has taken note of the threats of Nyesom Wike, governor of the state.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

The APC spokesperson in the state, Chris Finebone said: “Rivers people and Nigerians are fed up with the governor’s antics of praising the judiciary when judgements favour his interest and lampooning the judiciary when otherwise happens.

Osinbajo visited Rivers state on Thursday, July 27, and inaugurated a fertiliser plant built by Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Limited and two other projects by the state government.

Wike, however insisted that the Rivers APC prevented Osinbajo from inaugurating the remaining projects executed by his administration and even tried to prevent him (Osinbajo) from coming.

The governor said he wondered why the APC leadership would discourage the Acting President from inaugurating other projects in the state.

War against Corruption: Looters are worse than armed robbers - EFCC cries out

- The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has described corrupt Nigerians as being worse than armed robbers

- The Commission assured Nigerians that it was working really hard to ensure a logical conclusion of all corruption cases

- Nigerians were further urged to place all hands on deck in prosecuting the war against corruption; as the Commission noted that this was the only way it would succeed

Corrupt Nigerians have been described as being worse than armed robbers, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

According to reports, the Commission made its comments through its deputy head, Ibadan zonal office, Mr. Kazeem Oseni, while speaking at the 13th Biennial Conference of the Obafemi Awolowo University Muslim Graduates’ Association (UNIFEMGA), Ibadan chapter themed 'Fight Against Corruption: Where are the religious leaders and institutions?'

Speaking on the topic, 'Corruption in Nigeria: An overview and the efforts of the EFCC in fighting the scourge', Oseni stated: “Quite frankly, the enabling and operating environment in Nigeria vis-a-vis anti-corruption war, has not been very encouraging.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“Issues such as legal technicalities, lack of cooperation from some states and local governments, public attitude towards corruption, the phenomenon of corruption mentality in Nigeria; as well as slow judicial system occasioned by tactics of defense lawyers and interlocutory appeals, seriously undermine the commission’s efforts in taming corruption.”

Oseni assured Nigerians that the EFCC was working hard to ensure a logical conclusion of all corruption cases.

This was in response to claims that the Commission had not lived up to expectations.

He stated that most of the cases people assume as having died down, are in fact still being investigated.

In his words: “It is very, very difficult for the EFCC case to die expect it is concluded. If you see a case, maybe investigation is still ongoing”.

Oseni further stated: “In conclusion, all hands must be on the deck to ensure we succeed in the fight against corruption.

“We consider everybody a stakeholder, as the EFCC does not have monopoly of knowledge to defeat all shade of graft.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

“We all have a role to play as individuals, and it is when we all change our attitude that we can see it reflected in the society.

“No doubt, all stakeholders and functional institutions are crucial in the maintenance of a high quality of moral values within the social system; and the success or failure of our fight against corruption will depend on our willingness to take the fight through an ethical path.”

Sallah: Muslims lament as economic downturn bites hard on ram sales

- Some of the ram markets across Nigeria are experiencing low patronage as Sallah period draws near

- The low patronage in ram markets have also been attributed to economic downturn in Nigeria

- Some Muslims have also said they will ditch rams for either goats or cows shared collectively among neighbours

As preparation for the celebration of the Eid-El-Kabir is in full gear, some of the ram markets across Nigeria are experiencing low patronage.

Premium Times reports that a visit to Zango Market in Tudun Wada, the ‘yan Tumaki ram market Kawo,’ and some other market show that there is relatively low turnout due to the present economic downturn in Nigeria.

The celebration of Eid-El-Kabir which begins on Friday, September 1, as announced by the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa'ad Abubakar, is associated with killing of rams.

However, as sellers flood the markets, they decry the growing low patronage on the ram business.

One of the ram sellers, Kasimu Sani, said that the outcome of this year's sale is 'scary'.

Sani said: “We are not happy at all this year. What is scary about this year is that many people have collected their salaries in Kaduna and yet nobody is coming here. People are saying they would rather make food available during the festivities than doing Layya which is optional.”

He added that the sellers are careful not to irrationally increase the prices of rams.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“This year, we tried as much as possible to make the rams as cheap as possible. Rams goes for as low as N20,000 for now. If the demand increases, the prices will increase and we are looking at the next two to three days," Sani said.

Others who spoke on the plight said they believe the prices of rams will be low this year.

A civil servant, Sanusi Danladi, said the size of the rams can no longer be a problem.

Danladi who revealed he was used to buying big rams as an act of 'Ibadah' said he no longer thinks the sizes are an issue.

“I used to buy big rams every year but since last year, size does not matter anymore. It is an act ‘Ibadah’ and what I can afford is what I will buy," he said.

A farmer, Hassan Karami, said he will not be making ram sacrifices this year due to lack of funds.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

It was also gathered that some Muslims have settled for goats rather than rams as an option for their Sallah sacrifices while other a contributing money to buy cow and share.

Sa’idu Bala, a Kaduna resident, said: “I have settled for a goat which I have paid for already. I paid N12,000 for it and that is settled. My neighbours contributed N18,000 each to but one cow for the sacrifice.”

What you must do after God snatched you from the jaws of death - Ex-Jonathan's aide sends message to Buhari

- Doyin Okupe has advised President Buhari to organise a thanksgiving for surviving his illness

- He said many people did not expect him to survive his illness

- The former presidential aide advised him to use the opportunity to change the country for good

Doyin Okupe has written an open memo to President Muhammadu Buhari urging him to thank God for saving his life and “snatching him from the jaw of death.”

In the memo which he posted on his Facebook, Okupe noted that many people did not expect the president to survive but he did.

Read the memo below

Your Excellency,

You are welcome back from your long sojourn outside the country on account of your illness.

Many, including those around you, and others currently felicitating with you had given up on you and actually started working on plans based on their assumption that you were not likely to come back alive.

In truth, for which you can bear witness yourself, God Almighty snatched you from the jaws of death. This was not because you were president, or the millions you spent, or the extra competence of your doctors; since great people succumb to death, even in the UK and despite their medical expertise.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

You survived purely by the mercy of God, the creator of all flesh. That is why I was surprised that on your return, you thought it was more important to satisfy the demand of those who did not wish you well, or derided you for your ill-health.

Your Excellency, what you needed to do, and you should still do, is to show appreciation to God who preserved your life and kept you alive against all evil expectations.

On your instruction sir, glory must be given to God Almighty. All mosques should praise and thank God on your behalf on a chosen Friday. You may participate in this with family and close associates in the Villa Mosque. Your vice can lead a thanksgiving service at the Villa and this can be done throughout the country on the Sunday that follows.

God has brought you back for a purpose; pray to know that purpose and ask for health and strength to achieve it.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

As our leader, and a God-fearing nation, let us begin to acknowledge God in our national affairs, so that He may direct and prosper our ways.

However, in your long absence, a lot has happened in the country.

The country is in dire straits economically and sharply divided like never before; geopolitically and also along religious lines.

Your broadcast has not helped. But you are an elected president and you can broadcast to the nation as many times as you deem fit if you feel there is a need to make certain corrections in the previous broadcast. You don’t even have to go through the elaborate and strenuous route of the LIVE TV broadcasts because of your health.

I know that your last 6 minutes broadcast may have taken 1 hour or more to get it right.

You can achieve more in radio broadcasts which you can actually do weekly from the comfort of your home; with the least stress.

This way, you can talk to the nation less formally and from your heart, on your perspectives, your vision and dreams, your hopes and plans for its teeming masses. People will concentrate more on your message than your person. Ronald Regan and Obama used this broadcast tool most effectively with a positive impact on the citizens.

I am not one of your fans or avid supporters. In fact, I did all I could to stop you from becoming an elected president. I have no regrets. It was a competition, in which I had my own candidate, but God and the people of Nigeria have decided in your favour and as far as I am concerned, the matter has been long settled.

The presidential elections are in February 2019. That is barely 18 months away.

However, by June/July next year (just 10 months away), activities of government wind down and the nation goes into full swing mode of politicking and preparing for the February elections.

NAIJ.com had reported that Okupe said it will be wrong for the acting president, Yemi Osinbajo, to run for presidency if anything should happen to President Buhari.

Okupe in an interview with Nigerian Tribune said the northern region of Nigeria will feel cheated out if Osinbajo runs for president in 2019, citing the case of a former president, late Umaru Yar'Adua,

Okupe said the northerners are scared that what happened in 2010 after Yar'Adua's death might happen again.

Ohanaeze under fire from northern elders for opposing Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest

The newspapers for Monday, August 28, focus on the feud between the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) and Ohanaeze Ndigbo over the leader of IPOB, Nnmdi Kanu.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has criticised the apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, for warning against the re-arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu.

The forum on Sunday, August 27, condemned Ohanaeze Ndigbo for being opposed to the federal government’s plan to re-arrest Kanu.

The Punch reports that the chairman of NEF Paul Unongo, said the northern elders were disappointed that Ohanaeze had trivialised a criminal matter.

NEF flayed the Ohanaeze for comparing the ultimatum issued by the northern youths to the actions of Kanu.

The forum said: “Leaders should be careful about what they support. This is the kind of thing that happened when our young men from the North, feeling cheated and angry with the old men from Kanu’s place for not cautioning Kanu, did what they did (ultimatum).

“But I came out immediately and said Nigerians have inalienable right to reside anywhere. I did that even to the detriment of my friendship with some people.

“But what Ohanaeze members are doing is that they are giving the impression that if someone commits a crime and is from their tribe, he shouldn’t be tried. I don’t understand.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“Are they saying he (Kanu) should not be tried until someone from another part of the country is arrested? That will invite chaos to the country.”

The Nation newspaper reports on the confessions of a member of Boko Haram, Auwal Ismaeela, who said he led the kidnap of 276 schoolgirls from the government secondary school in Chibok, Borno state on April 15, 2014.

The Nation newspaper for Monday, August 28, 2017, photo credit: snapshot from NAIJ.com

Ismaeela, who has surrendered to the military, also stated that he led other major operations and said he regretted his actions.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

The PRNigeria report said: “Ahead of the Islamic festival of Eid-Kabir coming up by the weekend, a top Boko Haram commander who played a major role in the abduction of Chibok girls and killing of youths in Madagali has surrendered and confessed to several acts of bloodletting on innocent people and destruction of properties across the length and breadth of the North-eastern part of the country.

“In an interview with PRNigeria at a military facility for the repentant and surrendered Boko Haram members in the Northeast, the ex-terrorist leader said he regretted the atrocities he was forced to commit against humanity.

“The commander, Auwal Ismaeela, is currently cooperating with the Nigerian military with useful information on locations and hideouts of other top commanders of the deadly sect. He regretted his actions which, according to him, run counter to several Islamic injunctions.

In a related development, a former commander of the Boko Haram group, Abdulkadir Abubakar, has claimed that two factions of the group are ready for talks with the federal government.

Vanguard reports that Abubakar, also known as Abu Muhammad, was the chief intelligence officer of the Boko Haram group and one of its top commanders, until his arrest in June by the military in Buni Yadi in Gujba Local Government area of Yobe state.

Vanguard newspaper for Monday, August 28, 2017, photo credit: snapshot from NAIJ.com

Abubakar said at his cell in Maiduguri that Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions of Boko Haram were willing to dialogue and cooperate with the government to defeat the most visible leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau.

Abubakar revealed deep divisions and power struggle among the insurgents, claiming the Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions were opposed to Shekau’s leadership style and bloodthirstiness.

According to him, Shekau, whose capture, dead or alive, the military high command has ordered, has been the major obstacle to peace, since the insurgency began in 2009.

Abubakar’s claim about the readiness of the factions to dialogue with the Nigerian authorities could not be verified as he had been incarcerated since June. But he insisted that the groups are predisposed to a peaceful resolution of the eight year-old crisis.

Meanwhile, as part of measures to battle global warming, Nigeria may ban petrol and diesel vehicles within the next decade being a signatory to the Paris treaty.

The real truth about the Biafra Secret Service; how it is funded and how members are recruited (Special Report)

- According to an investigative report, there is much more to IPOB’s newly inaugurated security outfit, Biafra Secret Service (BSS)

- The investigation unearthed how the group has a dual purpose of protection and investigation (against activities of saboteurs)

- BSS recruiters reportedly look out for individuals who can speak foreign languages and honor top candidates with awards at the end of the training programme

- Salaries are reportedly paid out based on ranks; with senior officers being paid more than those in lower levels

A recently published in-depth investigative report has revealed that there is more to the newly inaugurated Biafra Secret Service (BSS), than meets the eye.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

The investigation which was carried out by Daily Trust, revealed that the idea to form the group was conceived immediately the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was released from jail.

Even though the group has stated that it will employ a non-violent approach to achieve its goals, the report shows that the members of the group are also prepared to respond otherwise.

At a drill session held at Kanu’s home, one of the group’s commanders, Mr. Aguoche Obidike, was allegedly heard saying, “We are Biafra Secret Service men that have volunteered to defend Biafran land.

“Like our leader will rightly say, we are here to restore Biafra.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“We have come in peace but if the option given to us to restore Biafra is violent, without fear, the men and women are ready to take the land of Biafra from invaders and looters.”

The investigation unearthed how the group has a dual purpose of protection and investigation.

While charged with the responsibility of protecting Nnamdi Kanu, the group also investigates ‘criminal activities’ like plans of sabotage against IPOB.

It was further revealed that BSS members are selected based on qualifications from diverse backgrounds of individuals based in ‘Biafra land’ and all over the world.

The recruiters reportedly look out for people who can speak foreign languages.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

According to a source, “This requires that the applicant should be able to speak the language with sufficient structural accuracy and vocabulary to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations on practical, social and professional topics.

“At the completion of all required training and graduation from the BSS training program, the graduating students would be posted to various offices while the best graduating student would be given an honorary award.”

The group further said it finds it irrational that the federal government is only concerned about stoking the heat in an already flaming polity.

The group said the federal government should be focused on finding ways to douse the rising tensions across Nigeria.

JAMB cut-off: Federal University of Gusau sets 170 mark

- Federal University Gusau has announced a cut-off mark of 170 for the 2017/2018 academic session

- There has been a lot of outcry regarding the JAMB cut-off mark of 120 recently introduced to Nigerian students

- The decision to set 170 as minimum cut-off marks was taken after getting statistics on the candidates who applied for admission

Following the announcement of the 120 cut-off mark, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned candidates that it does not guarantee automatic admission into higher institutions.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

Their statement read: “The 120 cut off mark doesn’t mean an automatic ticket for admission. Institutions will still admit using established criteria of merit and others."

According to NAN, the Federal University Gusau has announced 170 as minimum mark for the JAMB cut-off marks for admission into the university for the 2017/2018 academic session.

On Saturday, August 26, Umar Usman, the information officer of the university disclosed that the university management had arrived at the decision to set 170 as minimum cut-off marks after getting statistics on the candidates who applied for admission into the institution.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

The statement read in full:

"An ultimatum telling Nigeria’s Igbo minority in the north of the country to flee their homes is of “grave concern”, a group of United Nations human rights experts* has warned.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

"The experts also deplored a hate song and audio message being circulated on the internet and on social media. The Hausa-language audio message urges northern Nigerians to destroy the property of Igbo people and kill anyone who refuses to leave by 1 October, the same date given in the ultimatum.

“We are gravely concerned about this proliferation of hate messages and incitement to violence against the Igbo and their property, especially considering the previous history of such violence,” the experts said.

“The government must be vigilant, as hate speech and incitement can endanger social cohesion and threaten peace by deepening the existing tensions between Nigeria’s ethnic communities.”

"The ultimatum was issued on 6 June 2017 during a press briefing by the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum in the city of Kaduna. It called for sustained and coordinated campaigns to remove the Igbo population from the northern region.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

"The human rights experts noted that some local and national figures, as well as some media representatives, had publicly denounced any form of hate speech and incitement, but said other officials still needed to follow suit.

“We are deeply concerned that some prominent local leaders and elders have not condemned the ultimatum, hate speech and the perpetrators,” the experts stressed.

“We call on the Government, media and civil society representatives, and local and religious leaders, to reject and condemn hate speech and incitement to violence unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms.”

- Abdulkadir Abubakar, also known as Abu Muhammad, states that Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, has been the major obstacle to peace, since the insurgency began in 2009

- Abu Muhammad expresses willingness to give the military useful information to crush the insurgents and arrest Shekau

A former Boko Haram commander, Abdulkadir Abubakar, has disclosed that the elusive leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau, has left his enclave in Sambisa forest and is currently hiding in Mandara Mountain.

Abdulkadir Abubakar, also known as Abu Muhammad, was the chief intelligence officer of the Boko Haram group and one of its top commanders, until his arrest in June by the military in Buni Yadi in Gujba local government area of Yobe state.

He said two factions of the group were ready for talks with the federal government.

Abubakar told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at his cell in Maiduguri that Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions of Boko Haram were willing to dialogue and cooperate with the government to defeat the most visible leader of the group, Abubakar Shekau.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

According to him, Shekau, whose capture, dead or alive, the military high command has ordered, has been the major obstacle to peace, since the insurgency began in 2009.

“Shekau is not willing to surrender due to his high handedness. Unfortunately, the government and military authorities accorded priority on dealing with Shekau, who is blood thirsty.

“Albarnawi has indicated interest to dialogue with the government to end insurgency and provide a lasting solution to the crisis. Albarnawi discusses this with members of his circle. And I can assure the government that he would cooperate to achieve peace.

“The two factions are willing to cooperate with Nigerian Government to defeat Shekau,” he said.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

Abubakar’s claim about the readiness of the factions to dialogue with the Nigerian authorities could not be verified as he had been incarcerated since June. But he insisted that the groups are predisposed to a peaceful resolution of the eight year-old crisis.

Abubakar claimed to have undertaken various espionage missions and provided intelligence to the insurgents, which enabled them to hit a long list of targets, among which were the abduction of 275 students at Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok and the killings of students at federal government College, Buni Yadi. Over 20 students were murdered at Buni Yadi.

He also claimed to have been involved in other attacks on schools in Maiduguri, Damaturu, Postikum and Mamudo.

The detained Boko Haram commander expressed his willingness to give the military useful information to crush the insurgents and arrest Shekau.

“I am cooperating with the military and I am ready to provide information on the whereabouts of Shekau. Shekau has left his enclave in Sambisa and moved deep into Mandara Mountain. I know the area where he is hiding and willing to provide a guide to the military.

“The intensified military offensive has weakened Shekau’s position and that of the other groups,” he added.

Abubakar revealed deep divisions and power struggle among the insurgents, claiming the Albarnawi and Mamman Nur factions were opposed to Shekau’s leadership style and his bloodthirstiness.

He also blamed Shekau for many attacks on civilians by the Boko Haram insurgents.

“During the early days of the insurgency we fought for what we thought was a just cause, to establish a caliphate where human beings are valued, cherished and respected.

“After annexing vast territories, Shekau began to demonstrate his cruelty and atrocities against humanity.

“In view of the high level atrocities committed by the group, some of the top commanders including myself, Albarnawi and Mamman Nur challenged Shekau, demanding an immediate end to the ugly saga.

“Thereafter, Albarnawi and Mamman Nur parted ways, and formed their groups. Shekau is responsible for bombings and attack on soft targets in the North-East.

“The Albarnawi and Mamman Nur groups never attacked schools, religious places of worship, markets, women and children. Our fight was strictly with security forces. Even the kidnapped oil workers would not be killed by the group,” he said.

According to him, both Mamman Nur and AlBarnawi opposed the abduction of the Chibok school girls, women and children.

“Shekau is fond of using the girls and other abducted women as toys, and bombers. He kills on the pretence of punishing for lies, theft, and rebellion. Shekau kills without justification.

“Shekau arrogated to himself the powers to accuse, prosecute, convict and punish in total contradiction to Islamic teachings. Children and women also starved to death in Sambisa due to Shekau’s cruelty,” he said.

Meanwhile, a top Boko Haram commander who co-led the operation that resulted in the abduction of about 276 girls in the town of Chibok on April 14, 2014, has surrendered to the Nigerian army.

The commander, Auwal Ismaeela, is currently helping the Nigerian Military with useful information on locations and hideouts of other top commanders of the sect.

Ismaeela, who also led several Boko Haram operations in the northeast which resulted in the killings of innocent people and destruction of properties said he regretted his actions.

''I may sound very unpopular but I will speak the truth. Apart from militocracy, politics is responsible for poverty and hunger in Nigeria.

''Unfortunately, we the leaders, myself inclusive, have failed this nation and have failed the younger generation, myself inclusive.

''The reason why we are where we are today is because there is a disconnect between leadership and followership.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

''As I speak to you, the problem why we are where we are is because of trust. There is no trust between the governed and those governing.

''Once there is no trust between the followership and the leadership, it will definitely have a negative concomitant effect on the economy, and every other facet of our national life.

''Hunger and poverty have no political party, hunger and poverty have no religion. To have brought people to discuss on the line of APC or PDP is not correct, because the poor PDP man and the poor APC man all go to the same market.

''What we should fix is democracy; Democracy is government of the people, by the people and for the people. What we have is greediocracy; government of the greedy by the greedy, for the greedy.

''We the leaders want to win elections at all cost, so we spend money to win elections. The followership also is greedy, they accept money to vote. So, head or tail, there is a need for attitudinal change and this is affecting everything.

''Today, we are talking about recovery of our economy, we are talking about poverty and how to fight it. The only way to fight poverty is for we leaders to build trust among the people''.

Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that Melaye is currently on vacation with his kids in an undisclosed location.

Ijaw youths issue warning to President Buhari over alleged plans to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu

- The IYC criticises the federal government for the way it handled the quit notice issued by a coalition of Arewa youths to Igbos residing in the north

- The group claims the Buhari administration would have handled the issue differently had the threat emanated from another tribe

- The IYC faults the government for detaining several Niger Delta youth activists when the Arewa youths are being treated differently

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) has said the plan by the Buhari administration to re-arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, for allegedly violating his bail would set Nigeria in flames.

The IYC, according to Sahara reporters, criticised the federal government for the way it handled the quit notice issued by a coalition of Arewa youths to Igbos living in the north.

The group claimed that the Buhari administration would have handled the issue differently had the threat emanated from another tribe.

“It is the height of nepotism and sectionalism for the Buhari administration to treat the Arewa youth leaders who committed a serious offense bordering on a threat to national security with kid gloves while the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, is being threatened with arrest and several Niger Delta activists are languishing in detention,” the IYC said.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

The IYC faulted the government for detaining several Niger Delta youth activists such as Ezekiel Daniel, Alex Odogu, ex-militant leader Bonny Gawei, and several others in underground detention cells while the Arewa youths were enjoying state dinners.

The group said the government should not re-arrest Kanu or any other agitator in other part of the country until appropriate action is taken against Arewa youths for issuing a quit notice to Igbos residing in the northern region.

“We wish to state clearly that the Buhari administration has lost the justification to threaten to re-arrest Mr. Nnamdi Kanu or any other agitator in the southern part of Nigeria. Nigerians ought to be treated equally irrespective of their place of origin or ethnic background. We also strongly advise against the planned revocation of the bail and arrest of the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. Arresting Nnamdi Kanu would set Nigeria in flames,” the IYC stated.

Meanwhile, Nnamdi Kanu on Sunday, August 27, insisted that there will not be election in Abia state unless a referendum which his group has been clamouring for is conducted.

Kanu while speaking at Boys Technical College (BTC) in Aba, Abia state, said that the agitation for Biafra is a “message from heaven.”

The IPOB leader who is aware that the federal government has commenced process to have him rearrested said that anyone who tries to arrest him will not leave Biafra land alive, the Cable reports.

Presidency dismisses rumours that Osinbajo has been sidelined by a cabal

- The presidency has reacted to media reports accusing a cabal of running the affairs of Aso Rock

- The report specifically mentioned the president's Chief of Staff (CoS), Abba Kyari

- The report also stated that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been sidelined in the scheme of things in government circles

The presidency has alerted the public on an orchestrated campaign to smear the good name of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, by a section of the press.

Malam Garba Shehu, the president’s senior special assistant on media and publicity stated this in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, August 28.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489746201402-0") });

According to him, some allegations being levelled against the president’s CoS are indirectly aimed at rubbishing the successes being recorded by the Buhari administration.

He described those behind the campaign as mere blackmailers and extortionists who were bent on creating unnecessary but imaginary division and misunderstanding between President Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and the CoS.

“A careful assessment of some these allegations with a rational mind will show that there is an orchestrated campaign to smear the CoS and indirectly the president.

“If I can speculate on the matter, I will say that the problem Malam Abba Kyari has with most people is that he, like the president he serves, will not throw money at people in order to please them.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

“As CoS, Malam has refused to keep cash imprest and has turned down a monthly grant of N200 million customarily given to the office.

“This is money freely spent because they were not required to account for what they did with it,’’ he said.

The presidential aide further noted that when the president was away on the medical vacation, the CoS rallied the presidency behind Professor Osinbajo because he knew that his boss, President Buhari expected nothing less.

He said: “As Acting President, Vice President Osinbajo enjoyed the support of the Villa Staff and the entire cabinet. Otherwise he would not have succeeded and earn the praises of the President.

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747139638-0") });

"These are just a few among the false and illogical accusations making the CoS larger than life, with the aim of pulling him down. No Chief of Staff including this one can create hurdles for a president and survive the next day.

“The roles and duties don’t warrant the kind of falsehood being spread.’’

Shehu therefore dispelled the false notion that some individuals had tried to undermine the vice president when he acted in the absence of the president.

The presidential spokesman also dismissed as “absolutely nonsensical and absurd’’ to write that in one week of the President’s return, Osinbajo had been sidelined.

He stated that, “quite to the contrary, the vice president remains the confidante and the closest adviser to the president.”

He noted that Vice President Osinbajo had attended all the president’s engagements all through the week with the exception of two: one, the VP was away to Taraba state and two, the Juma’at Muslim prayer because he is a Christian.

Shehu also dismissed the assertion in some quarters that President Buhari was being manipulated by the certain cabal in the Presidential Villa.

“It is difficult to understand what anyone wants to achieve peddling such falsehood that the President, himself a former military general and Head of State and Commander-In-Chief is subject to undue influence and manipulation.

“It is both ridiculous and inconceivable.

“As someone who works very closely with President Buhari, I can testify to how my years of experience as a newspaper editor are often put to the test by the sheer thoroughness with which the President edits every single document brought to his desk.

“Every memo, statement, speech, is subject to his intense scrutiny, right down to the placement of commas and full stops.

“Therefore, alleging that President Buhari signs memos brought to him by government officials or a so-called cabal without reading them, immediately casts doubts on the credibility of the ubiquitous unnamed sources that the reporters of these articles quote.

“But, of course, the president cannot do everything. He cannot micromanage every task.

“That is why he needs close officials, whom he trusts, who will be willing to offend others in the process of ensuring his own safety and wellbeing, and the advancement of his vision for Nigeria,’’ he added.(NAN)

Afenifere takes side with Nnamdi Kanu, blasts FG for not arresting Arewa youths

- Afenifere has advised the federal government to be fair in dealing with all Nigerians

- The group said Nnamdi Kanu should not be re-arrested, warning that it will heat up the polity of the nation

- The group pointed out that it was clear the government had double standard

The Pan-Yoruba sociology-cultural group, Afenifere, has issued a warning to the federal government not to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu as doing so ill heat up the polity of the country.

There has been report that the federal government was planning to arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and The Punch reports that Afenifere accused the government of double standard.

Yinka Odumakin who is the publicity secretary of the group advised the government to engage in dialogue with the group rather than trying to fight them.

He said: “The idea of re-arresting Kanu will overheat the polity, more so when youths in the north that issued a notice to quit were not arrested. Even after the Kaduna State Governor and the Vice President ordered their arrest, the police did nothing.

“The Minister of Internal Affairs said the youths were not arrested because they claimed they were misquoted, but a few days ago, the youths in the presence of some governors withdrew the order.”

googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("div-gpt-ad-1489747094101-0") });

He advised the government to apply law equally rather than using different measures for peoples based on their states of origin.

He said: “The government is giving the impression that what is red line for someone from a particular region is green line for someone in another part of the country; I think it is better the government engaged to bring down the tension rather than strong-arm tactics that would overheat the polity.

“There is a clear double standard and that is not good for inclusiveness. What the government should do is ensure even application of the law and engage more youths more rather indulge in sabre-rattling.”

Meanwhile, Bianca, the widow of the late Biafra warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu, called on those asking residents of Anambra state to boycott the forthcoming governorship election to have a rethink or face the consequences.

Bianca also asked the agitators to commence the boycott in their own states and leave Anambra alone.

She, however, complained about the near-absence of the federal government in Anambra in the area infrastructure.
