National Enquirer Magazine This week has on its front cover this very interesting story.
Miracles are definitely happening everyday! 
''Many people would almost immediately disregard you, the moment you tell them that you work as a driver, especially in Nigeria. But it’s a whole different ball game, with the driver of silver tongued, stylish man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, pastor of Believers Love World (BLW). a.k.a Christ Embassy.

His name is Sunshine Samuel Imumholen, apparently hails from the same town with his boss, he is in his late 30’s, and doesn’t  have a degree yet, but National Enquirer scooped that he is under immense pressure from his boss to acquire a degree by all means. So he has enrolled in one of the universities in Lagos state. He lives in a lavish apartment in Magodo G.R.A, where he has fleet of exotic cars. We learnt that he spent well over 20 million naira for his wedding, on the 22nd of March 2013, in Lagos and Aba. He bought a red Rav 4 Jeep for his wife as a wedding, gift, after he had already showered her with car gifts, whilst they were dating.

Ex-Super Eagles star Chidi Odiah denies being a taxi driver in the US



Former Super Eagles defender, Chidi Odiah, 30, has released a statement denying recent reports that he now drives taxis in the US to survive after being let go by his Russian club, Cska Moscow. See his statement below... 
My attention has being drawn to the slandering news going round the online media that I was spotted driving a Taxi somewhere in the United States of America.

I am taking this rebuttal path due to the hurt that story has caused my friends and family members. With due respect to taxi drivers who means of livelihood are through that means, I state, emphatically, that I am not a taxi driver neither am I in the United States of America . I am a professional footballer who loves my profession and yet to resign from playing football.

Nobody Is Above The Law, Obasanjo Says As He Visits FRSC To Pick Up Driver’s Licence



Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared that nobody is above the law in the collective drive to ensure compliance with traffic rules and regulations in Nigeria.Speaking after processing his driver’s license at the Abuja national headquarters of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Obasanjo said, “If I have to drive, I must have a valid driver’s license like others. That informed my visit. We should note that the driver’s licence serves other purposes beyond driving of a vehicle and also useful outside the country such as certification of somebody’s identity.”

He added, “Anybody who wants to be law abiding must go through this process because you cannot be bigger than the law, no matter your political position or social status. You must pass through this process unless you are not ready to be law abiding”.

‘Average Nigerian Driver Is Aggressive’



Dr. Kayode Olagunju is the Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) in Rivers State. In this interview with ANAYO ONUKWUGHA, he speaks on Nigerian drivers and efforts of the agency to maintain sanity on the roads.
How can you describe the average Nigerian driver on the road?
An average Nigerian driver is aggressive. An average Nigerian driver believes that nothing will happen to him even when he blind-folds himself and drives in the night. An average Nigerian driver believes that he knows it all even - when he does not know. He puts the blame of every road crash on the other person, not him. Whenever there is a crash, the average Nigerian driver does not see his own fault, rather, he sees the fault of the other person, and he puts the blame on him. That is a major issue. When that driver dies through dangerous overtaking, the family also believes that the wicked had done their worst.

Delta State Female Government Worker Beaten And molestd By driver





Top Delta State Female Government Worker Beaten And molestd By driver
It was a tragic experience for a Delta State top female government official, as she was attacked, beaten and allegedly molestd by three dare-devil men.

The incident happened at the victim’s (names withheld) residence in DDPA area of Asaba, the state capital.
 It was gathered that the government’s appointee was left in coma after been attacked by a man believed to be her former driver and two others.

However, nemesis caught up with the culprits as they are now cooling their feet in police custody.
 But DSP Charles Muka, the Public Relations Officer of the state’s police command maintained he is yet to be briefed on the ugly incident.

An unannounced visit to the victim’s three-bedroom apartment, revealed that the place had been deserted.
 Giving an eye-witness account, a close source said, ”On the fateful day, the victim’s driver had reported to duty as usual.

He was soon joined by his predecessor, who had earlier been sacked by the madam. Nobody suspected anything was going on inside the house because of the high fence. But at about 10 p.m., the two drivers drove out of the compound in the madam’s jeep with 50 litres of fuel and never came back.

Having regained consciousness at about 4 a.m, she struggled and managed to get to her neighbour’s gate to seek assistance. When she knocked at the gate, I peeped through a small hole and found out that she was the one, I opened the gate and discovered she had matchet cuts all over her body.

It was at that point we raised an alarm and rushed her to hospital,” he said. Continuing, he said there was blood stain on the walls in the victim’s apartment, adding that the blood on the floor had congealed.” They broke her head, molestd her and mutilated her body. The plot was to kill her, but God intervened.”

Another source who doubles as a neighbour said that the attackers might have carried out the dastardly act as their own pound of flesh to the victim as she has always been too hostile to her domestic staff.

“Nobody stays here with her. She lives alone. Whenever the driver comes to pick her, he is not allowed to go into the house. He always hangs around the gate. Sometimes, he would sit on that stone and doze off. Her house girl too had to run away because of the way madam maltreated her. There was a day she poured hot water on the girl because of early morning tea,” she said.

However, following a tip-off,  security operatives of the state trailed the suspects to Abakiliki, Ebonyi State, where they had gone to dispose of the vehicle and were subsequently arrested
