GOV. UDUAGHAN BUYS PRIVATE JET DESPITE BEING UNABLE TO PAY SALARIES AND CONTRACTORS

If information reaching Secrets Reporters is finally confirmed, then Delta State can count itself the worst governed State in the South South region.

Sources who reached out to this news medium confided in us that the State Governor, Emmanuel Ewetan Uduaghan is now a proud owner of a private jet, but fronted for by one of his numerous business associate.

The private jet which has been kept secret from Deltans and Nigerians is parked at the Delta State Airport and secretly guarded by Airport officials to prevent anyone from taking pictures of it. The Jet we gathered is linked to a billionaire businessman, Deri Otubu from Oghara, Ethiope West, though allegedly owned by the governor, squealed our source.

The show of illegal wealth by Dr Uduaghan who was among the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors that wasted their state fund by donating billions to President Goodluck Jonathan re-election campaign is coming when he cannot pay the State workers as well as pensioners. The contractors handling projects in the State has since down tools citing lack of payment.

How To Survive A Plane Crash

LONDON (AP) — They raced down the slide, one by one, like children on a playground. At the bottom, smartphone photos were snapped and high fives exchanged.
The frequent fliers were all smiling and laughing — and quietly hoping to never use an evacuation slide again. Doing so would mean their plane had just crashed.
The slide demonstration was part of a half-day safety course that encourages passengers to be aware of their surroundings and familiarize themselves with what happens in an emergency. The two dozen participants learned the best way to brace for a crash, how to open aircraft doors and why to wait until exiting a plane to inflate life vests.

New York Police Arrest Pro-Jonathan Hirelings Fighting Over Cash

Law enforcement officers of the New York Police Department yesterday dispersed clashing groups of hired supporters of President Goodluck Jonathan who stormed the venue of a book launch at the Pier Hotel in Manhattan.

Several witnesses at the event told SaharaReporters that a group of homeless men hired from the streets of Newark, New Jersey, clashed with another pro-Jonathan group made up of Nigerians from the New York area. A fracas broke out when some of the homeless hirelings feared that members of the Nigerian group were planning to hijack the payment of $50 per person the organizers had promised to pay.
NYPD Disorder Control Unit As a melee ensued, and the police stepped in and arrested some of the pro-Jonathan hirelings fighting over the sharing of booty.
Investigation revealed that the trouble began when the collection of homeless supporters rented by the organizers demanded their payment shortly after arriving at the venue. As they were pressing for payment, they noticed that a group of Nigerians had taken to chanting pro-Jonathan slogans. Afraid that the Nigerians had been brought in to deny them the payment they had been promised, the homeless group began chanting “Bring back our girls,” the slogan of a global campaign that urges Nigerian government officials to take seriously the task of rescuing more than 200 schoolgirls who were in mid-April abducted from a school in Chibok, Borno State, by Boko Haram insurgents.
Embarrassed by their song, which they took up from a group of demonstrators, the handlers of the rented crowd made frantic efforts to coach them on the scene to sing President Jonathan’s praises.
New York police intervened after some members of the rented crowd got in a free-for-all scuffle with members of a rival pro-Jonathan group. As the situation threatened to cause a breakdown of law and order, a few police officers swung into action, dispersed the crowd, and took away four of them inhandcuffs.
