Chief Ifeanyi Ubah, the Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, has been arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS, for alleged stealing, diversion and illegal sale of petroleum products stored in his tank farm amounting to over N11 billion.

In statement issued by the Public Affairs Officer of the agency, Tony Opuiyo, accused Uba of instigating members of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD), a critical player in the downstream sub-sector of the Petroleum Industry, to refuse/stop the lifting of products.

“In line with the statutory mandate of the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate economic crimes of national security dimension” the Service, said, Uba was arrested on Friday.

Opuiyo said:



 “The arrest was sequel to Ubah’s engagement in acts of economic sabotage which include stealing, diversion and illegal sale of petroleum products stored in his tank farm by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). So far, it has been established that the products stolen amount to over N11 billion. There is no doubt that Ubah’s acts have the capacity to negatively impact on national economy. “It is instructive to note that Ubah has further engaged in other activities inimical to national security and public order. In furtherance of his gimmicks to undermine the government and people of Nigeria, he has incited members of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD), a critical player in the downstream sub-sector of the Petroleum Industry, to refuse/stop the lifting of products. This is part of his plans to curry their sentiments and cause them to embark on strike and also stage protests in his favour with the ulterior motive of arm-twisting the NNPC to abandon the cause of recovering the stolen products. The implication of this on law and order is, in fact, a common knowledge. It is consequent upon this that the Service arrested and will prosecute him forthwith.”

In order to put to rest the disturbing speculations that Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha wants to succeed himself in office as Governor for a third term riding on the back of his Son-in-law, and chief of staff, Uche Nwosu, a situation which has been raising political dust and capable of destroying the peaceful socio-political atmosphere enjoyed in Imo of recent.

The youthful and pragmatic Chief of Staff, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu has openly distanced himself from the political calculations which is currently heating up Imo polity.

The Nkwerre local government born, former Commissioner for lands, Survey and urban planning, stated that "he has not told anybody that he is running for Governor in 2019, asking why people are wasting their energy discussing issues that are better left for Imo electorates in 2019" .

Stating that, "it's only Imo voters that will decide who governs them come 2019, that no single individual has the capacity to impose governor on Ndi-Imo".

The former director of Transport, students union government, Imo State University, equally admonished Imolites to take the advantage provided by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, at the ongoing registration of voters card exercise to ensure that their family members or wards who did not register or vote in the previous election due to non possession of voters card, to do the needful by going out to register at their respective INEC wards, especially those who recently returned to Imo State and those who were not up to 18yrs during the last voters exercise, instead of indulging in cheap gossip or name calling.

He made the remarks in a short press statement monitored by Ifeanyicy.com, as was posted in his official Facebook page,which reads:

"Why heating up the polity? Am I a threat to anybody?  Have I told anybody that am running for Governor? Why do we spend our energy discussing  issues which our votes can give us come 2019?

Imolites are too educated and will make their choice come May 29th  2019. "Biko,umunnem" let's hold our peace, no single individual can impose a governor on "ndi imo".The  INEC continuous voters' registration exercise is on going let's go and register instead of name-calling. Dalau kwanu."

Joke Silva, Veteran Nollywood Actor and wife of Olu Jacobs, has aired her opinion on “The Crash of Nigerian Celebrity marriages”. In her interview with News Telegraph, Joke revealed that most young marriages don’t last because of social media.
She said:

“It is because the younger generation are very popular because of social media, and so, whatever happens to them becomes news; forgetting that there are as many divorces, there as many separations in other professions such as medical, financial, legal among others. Name any profession; there are so many separations in those as well,” she told New Telegraph.

“There are a lot of challenges that are being faced by artistes of this particular generation; and one of those challenges is the social media, which almost doesn’t allow you your life. People of my age, when we were getting all the attention, and we were feeling like we were the best thing, things were different.

You need all the attention anyway. For your work to sell, you need that popularity. It goes with the job, so you need that popularity. But after a while, you also get to learn that it can be a double edge sword. So, it is about managing it, appreciating the audience for appreciating your work, but also giving yourself that limit to what aspect of you they can experience.
“In this age of reality shows where nothing seems to be off limit, the new skill that the entertainer has to learn is how much do you give your audience? More so, because you don’t want to be false; like used to happen in the early years of Hollywood where they would create this incredible image, and then it was almost impossible for the performer to live under that image; and a lot of them used to use all kinds of medications just to fit a particular image that was being built around them. Now, we are in the age of social media, so it is learning how to cope with social media, to do the work that social media does, which is to get your work out there, to get your face out there. But then limit that too so that you do have a life; so that you can have some modicum of emotional privacy. Those are the challenges that I know that the younger generation face.”
