Aside from the job offer, Oshiomhole also gave the woman  N2million grant for her to get a shop and trade. The governor met with Mrs Ifije today at the Government House and offered her the job which is to join the State's War Against Indiscipline in the campaign against street trading & to keep the state clean.

"When you put your things on the road a vehicle can run into you and they have killed some people like that and that was why I said if you are a widow do you want more people to be widowed? But when I said go and die, that one was said in a fit of anger. And I am really sorry", Oshiomhole said.

Angola bans Islam

The Guardian reports that on November 22, the Angolan Minister of Culture Rosa Cruz e Silva said that "the process of legalization of Islam has not been approved by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and so their mosques would be closed until further notice."

Does a religion need to be legalized? The minister also said that the closing of mosques was done in a move to stop so-called 'illegal religious sects.' Under new laws in Angola, many religious sects have suddenly become criminal.

November 24, Angola President José Eduardo dos Santos said that the country is working toward putting an end to Islamic influence in Angola once and for all while the Governor of Luanda, Bento Bento, said that "radical" Muslims are not welcome in the country and that the Angolan government will not be legalizing mosques or other places of worship for Muslims.

Rep Member’s Death-female banker lover arrested

Sunday Trust reports

A member of the House of Representatives died in the early hours of Saturday after what security sources said was a sexual affair with a female banker in his private residence located at Gwarinpa Estate in Abuja.
Rep. Raphael Oloye Nomiye, 50, was until his death representing Ondo, Ilaje, Ese Odo in Ondo State under the platform of the Labour Party.
The lawmaker was said to have died shortly after an affair with the banker (names withheld). The spokesperson of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) police command, Hyelhira Altine Daniel, confirmed the incident, saying the command was still investigating the cause of the legislator's death.
When Sunday Trust visited the deceased's residence at Second Avenue in Gwarinpa Estate, neighbours and witnesses said the banker, who managed his accounts, was said to have rushed down for the one-storey building to inform the policemen on guard at the house that "oga just fell down and is vomiting blood."

They said when the policemen entered into his room upstairs, they found him laying on the floor with a towel tied round his waist, while he bled from the mouth. He was then quickly taken to a private clinic on 3rd Avenue within the estate in his official Toyota Camry 2012 car with Registration Number 148B Rep.

It was further learnt that doctors at clinic declined to attend to him, saying it was a "serious" matter, following which he was then rushed to the National Hospital, Abuja, where he was later pronounced dead.

Police sources disclosed that the banker, who is now in police custody at the Gwarinpa Police Division, had earlier denied having sexual affair with the lawmaker before his death. But she was said to have changed her statement after doctors at the National Hospital conducted an examination on corpse, which confirmed that the deceased had slept with a woman shortly before his demise.

The sources said after the test, the banker admitted to interrogators that she had actually slept with the deceased and had helped him to clean up, following which he went into the bathroom, where he suddenly fell and began to vomit blood. Police investigators who inspected the lawmaker's house had succeeded in recovering some items, including a bottle of water, which the deceased lawmaker had drank from  some tissue papers and the clothes the deceased had worn earlier in the day, Sunday Trust gathered.

When our reporters visited the banker's private residence located at Kado Estate in Abuja, two of her professional friends, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the banker and Raphael had been friends. They, however, denied knowledge of the lawmaker's death.
An investigation by Sunday Trust also revealed that although the late lawmaker was married, his wife and children were not living with him in Abuja.

As at press time, there was no official statement from his family or the House, but a lawmaker in the Lower Chamber confirmed the lawmaker's demise. He added, however, that the House would make an official statement until it received formal notification from Nomiye's family.

"I heard of his death, but we're yet to get any official statement from his family or any doctor. The House will make an official statement when it eventually receives confirmation from his family," said the source.

When contacted, the Deputy Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Media and Publicity, Victor Ogene, said he was yet to get an official confirmation of the death and, as such, wouldn't comment on it.

Iheanacho Transfer: Amuneke Slaps, Beats Up American Football Agent

The assault, which happened at about 6:00 p.m. was caused by the decision of Golden Eaglets star, Kelechi Iheanacho, to choose Galliano as his agent ahead of one recommended by Amuneke.
As agent, Galliano would be responsible for arranging club transfer deals for Ihenacho, a member of the world-conquering Golden Eaglets. Iheanacho was selected by FIFA as the best player of the just-concluded FIFA U17 World Cup in the UAE.
He has since been linked to top European clubs including FC Porto and Manchester City. Iheanacho has signed an agent deal officially with Galliano with a copy of the agreement sent to the secretariat of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
The agent also confirmed that a copy of the agreement with Iheanacho was submitted to the NFF on October 21. In a chat with PREMIUM TIMES, Galliano and his Nigerian partner, Solomon Oluwaseun, accused Amuneke of assault; and threatened to press charges against him.
They said the coach invited them for a meeting before he got angry, saying that his (Amuneke's chosen) agent must be the one to handle Iheanacho's transfer. "The coach invited us, we went to see him and he started threatening Kelechi that he should follow him to Abuja to sign with his agent who is working with a Nasiru Jubril, a staff of the NFF; or else Nasiru, the man in charge of the ITC (International Transfer Certificate), will not release kelechi's ITC to him and they will both make sure that he is banned from Nigeria football; also he will not get a good club.
"When the agent tried to talk back, the coach slapped him and beat him up in the presence of over 25 people," Solomon said. In his comment, Galliano said he only came to Nigeria to take Iheanacho abroad for club engagement; and he didn't know why the coach threatened him.
"I came here to take Kelechi to his club. FC Porto and Manchester City are interested in him but Manchester City has a better package. This was our discussion and conclusion when Mr. Amuneke sent for me, and asked me to go back to my cousin.
"He called me names, beat me up and embarrassed me, he said it's impossible to just take his players," Galliano said while accusing Amuneke of racial statements.
Galliano, an American, said Keshi ordered Ihenacho to follow him to Abuja and also threatened him; which made the boy to burst into tears and went away.
"Kelechi is nowhere to be found, he started crying after the threat made against him, the small boy is afraid and I hope he will not lose hope. "Amuneke said he will delay his ITC and deal with him, he called vulgar words, cursing the boys and the players," he said.
When Reporters tried to speak to Iheanacho, but his phone was switched off. His father, when contacted, declined comment.
Amuneke, a Nations Cup winner in 1994 with the Super Eagles, and current assistant coach of the Golden Eaglets, confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that he assaulted the American.
When contacted on phone, an angry Amuneke confirmed that he slapped Galliano. He threatened to beat him up again whenever he sees him. He, however, denied being involved in the player's possible transfer.
"Yes, of course I slapped him very well and I will do it again whenever I see him," Amuneke said. "He is an idiot, useless white man, he wants to come and reap where he didn't sow. "Kelechi is a nobody; yes, I said we helped him into the team, made him, moulded him into what he is today, he shouldn't allow anybody to fool him," the former winger said.
When asked the reason for his action and his rumoured roles in Kelechi and other players transfer business, Amuneke said, "I care so much for my players, I am a coach." "I'm not an agent but I just look out for the boys.
He wants to come and sign a player just like that, he's an idiot, I will not allow him. "Because the boy's parents are poor and illiterate, he wants to use them.
We are Nigerians and we're not foolish," he added. Despite Amuneke's denial, the shady involvement of Nigerian coaches and football officials in the transfer of players to foreign clubs is something muted and known by close observers of Nigerian football.
A football website, Goal.com, recently revealed that Super Eagles midfielder, Sunday Mba's move to a French club, was scuttled because of the financial demands and involvement of Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, and some officials of the NFF. Mba had been unveiled by the French club, Bastia, before he was forced to return to Nigeria.
The NFF also recently suspended a former Secretary General of the Federation, Taiwo Ogunjobi, over the latter's alleged involvement in the transfer of a Flying Eagles forward, Olanrewaju Kayode.
