Every week, 88 year old b would go to the same restaurant. She was always alone and always ate the daily special. It was something for her to look forward to. She knew the staff and everyone talked to her while she enjoyed the food, but the last time she was in the restaurant. She behaved very strangely.

She was nervous at dinner and didn’t want to talk to the staff. Finally, she walked out without paying, but when the waiter cleared her table, he made a bizarre discovery.

The staff realized that the woman was not feeling well and wondered why they decided not to run after her to ask for the money. After all, she was a regular guest and the bill could be paid at another time. Bee had been coming to their restaurant for 30 years…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

She always sat at the same table by the window and always showed up. At the same time, she was known to all the staff, so everyone realized that something very strange was going on, but what was it b? Hadn’T always gone to the restaurant alone. At first bee came with her husband, her husband, loved the restaurant, because the food was of good quality and it was affordable. The very first week the restaurant opened bee and her husband were there.

She also often invited her family to eat there together and for their 30th wedding anniversary bee rented the entire place. There was delicious food and dancing until late in the evening, but bee’s life hadn’t always been a happy one less than a year ago. After a very short illness, the love of her life died. Bee didn’t know what to do anymore and found it very difficult to be alone. The old woman cried for weeks.

She was alone, and she had no one left to talk to no one left a hug gradually family and friends of the once cheerful woman get sadder and sadder. She didn’t feel up to anything anymore, hardly ate and didn’t want any visitors, but soon help came from an unexpected place. There was a letter on the doormat. The letter was from the restaurant where she ate every week. They hadn’t seen beef for a while, and so they offered her a free dinner.

The staff missed the woman and her enthusiasm and positivity. It was a difficult step for bee to take. It would be the first time she’d go there alone, she’d, never gone out to dinner alone, but she had to she had to try to get out of the hole she was in and she was confident that she would find her salvation at the restaurant for b. A lot had changed in the last three months, but the restaurant still looked the same as always. She could smell the familiar, smells and hear the same voices coming from the kitchen for the widow it was like coming home.

Her usual table was reserved for her and she sat down on her familiar chair with tears in her eyes. She looked out the window here. I am all alone she thought, but at that moment the owner of the restaurant came to sit with her. He wanted to keep her company we’ve known each other for 30 years, so we’ll always be here for you. He assured her.

For b it was a lovely evening. She forgot her grief for a short period of time when she spoke to the staff they helped her through the evening and hoped they would see bee again soon, slowly but surely be scrawled out of the deep hole she had been in since the death of her Husband, she once again became the cheerful woman. She always had been, and everyone could tell, but just when she was doing much better again, she received a phone call. It was the doctor. The results of the blood test she’d done a week earlier, were in she had to come by as soon as possible.

It was urgent shaking from her nerves. She entered the doctor’s office the same day. She had clammy hands from sweating. She had to know what was going on. Why did the doctor sound so serious? READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The doctor shook her hand and pointed with a tense face to the chair. Opposite him, i’m afraid i have some bad news: you’re suffering from leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. I’M sorry ma’am, it was like the ground was sinking from under her feet, she’d taken a blood test because she felt so tired all the time, but she never imagined that such a simple procedure could change her life forever with tears in her eyes, she asked the Hardest question of her entire life: how long do i have left, unfortunately, you’re at an advanced stage? It will be six months with quality of life. One year at most, the doctor replied b, felt like she had a knife in her back.

How much more bad news did she have to deal with, but instead of greeting and languishing in her own grief, she decided to fill in her remaining time exactly as she had always wanted and do something good for the people she loved. And so she came back to the restaurant where she had been for years. They had helped her through a miserable time. So now it was her turn to do something good. In return, she sat at her table quietly the staff tried several times to start a conversation, but bee stayed aloof.

She had heard shocking news and had to process everything. She heard the people talking to her, but she didn’t really listen everything just passed by her when the staff had given up and let her sit quietly. She grabbed her purse and wrote something on a piece of paper. She put the piece of paper in a black folder and put it on her table shortly afterwards. She walked to the cloakroom and left the restaurant without paying, but she left the black folder on the table.

It was robin one of the waiters job to clean up b’s table. He stacked the cutlery on top of the plates and was about to throw away the napkin, but under the napkin he saw the black folder bee had left behind. Maybe this was the money she still owed them for dinner. Maybe she hadn’t left without paying. After all, maybe she had left the money on the table.

Curiously, robin picked up the folder and opened it, but there was no money in the folder. There was only a note in it that would change the lives of all employees at the restaurant. Robin took the note from the black folder and cried out in shock. What did he just read in the folder was a piece of paper with a moving message on one side to the restaurant staff. For over 30 years, i’ve enjoyed coming to this restaurant i’d.

Seen everything in the restaurant change i’ve seen the staff come and go, the menu has changed dozens of times, but i’ve always stayed. I have had a lot of happy times here, but even in bad times, you have always been a support to me now that i am old and sick. I would like to thank you very much by means of a nice amount of money with trembling hands.

The waiter turned the check over and saw the absurd amount. The check had a value of one hundred thousand dollars from an old woman who had been coming to their restaurant for years and wanted to do something good for the staff who had always supported her robin.

Could not believe his eyes and gave the check to the manager who burst into tears. He had known b for 30 years and knew that soon he would never see her again at her regular table. He was happy with the money, but wished that bee was healthy and well and that he could enjoy her company every week because being surrounded by people who are dear to you is worth more than all the money in the world. Isn’T it he said.

Published

I walked into an eatery one afternoon to order takeout. While I waited for my food I kept busy with my phone. A man walked up to me with determination on his face. He smiled and said “Hello my name is Victor. I have been trying to get your attention from my table over there (he points to a far-off table).

1999 Toronto Saga: How Former Speaker, Salisu Buhari, Declared False Age and Forged University Certificate

Published

on

By

On the 3rd of June, 1999, Salisu Buhari, a 29-year-old Nigerian businessman who made his fortune dealing in computers, was elected as the speaker of the House of Representatives in Nigeria, a position which constitutionally made him the fourth most important person in Nigeria.

Unknowing to his colleagues, the government and the whole of Nigeria, Salisu Buhari was not qualified for the office he occupied. Few weeks after he was elected, findings revealed that Salisu Buhari, the sixth Speaker of the House of Rep. forged his way to power…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

The News Magazine released an article on the 19th of July, 1999 claiming that Salisu Buhari is seven years younger than the 36 years he claimed to be and that he didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating from the institution. The News Magazine had more than enough proofs to back their claims thus suppressing all threats made by Salisu Buhari and his lawyers to sue them for libel.

It was made known to the world that Salisu Buhari, the self-acclaimed Toronto University graduate, was actually born in 1970 and not in 1963 which he claimed. This rendered him unqualified to be the Speaker as section 65 subsection 1 of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria disqualified anybody under 30 years from contesting membership of the House of Representatives.

Also, it was made known that Salisu Buhari didn’t attend the University of Toronto in Canada not to talk of graduating with a degree in Business Administration in 1990. The University of Toronto, when asked, denied knowing Salisu Buhari. The management said they couldn’t find any record relating to the his name. Carlo Villanueva, an official of the Institution said,

Regarding your request for confirmation of degree for Mr. Ibrahim Salisu Buhari. We have searched our records and could not find anybody with the name you are inquiring with”.

Also, Salisu claimed that he did his national youth service at Standard Construction in Kano. This was proven false as records at the NYSC secretariat in Abuja could not produce his name among the 1991 corps members who served in the scheme. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Blocked in every way, he had no means of escape. After several open denial of the allegations and threats to sue The News Magazine, Salisu Buhari, on Thursday, July 23, 1999, eventually faced Nigerians and admitted declaring false age and forging certificate. In tears, he said,

“I apologize to you. I apologize to the nation. I apologize to my family and friends for all the distress I have caused them. I was misled in error by the zeal to serve the nation, I hope the nation will forgive me and give me the opportunity to serve again.”

He then resigned and walked into the shadows. In 2013, he made his return to the news and the public space when he was appointed as a member of the governing council of the University of Nigeria by President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.

Normally, the move garnered a lot of criticism. In a feeble attempt to justify the appointment, the Nigerian government explained that Buhari’s apology had earned him a presidential pardon from President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The Man Called Adegoke Adelabu ‘Penkelemesi’

Published

on

By

 

Joseph Gbadamosi Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a colossal in the political arena of Ibadan and the then Western Region before the independence of Nigeria in 1960.

He was born in Oke-Oluokun, Ibadan, on September 3, 1915 to Mr. Sanusi Ashiyanbi Adelabu and Mrs. Awujola Adelabu. At the tender age of five, Adegoke Adelabu lost his mother and then lived with his paternal aunt. Adegoke Adelabu attended St. David’s C.M.S School in Kudeti, Ibadan from 1925 to 1929; CMS Central School, Mapo, Ibadan in 1930 and Government College, where he was a head boy, from 1931 to 1936…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

In 1936, Adegoke won a U.A.C scholarship to study commerce in Yaba Higher College but eventually left the college six months later to work as an assistant to the UAC Ibadan district manager. After working with UAC for sometime, he was promoted to an Assistant Manager due to his hard and clever work. However, he left UAC in 1937 to start a business of his own which was unsuccessful. He later took up a civil service job, then returned to UAC in 1945 only to leave after a short period to start a textile trading business which was successful.

After acquiring little wealth from his textile business, Adegoke Adelabu got involved in politics. The starting point of his political career was traced to the period when Ibadan lineage chiefs (Mogajis) rose against Salami Agbaje, the then Otun Balogun of Ibadan, from becoming the Olubadan of Ibadan. In 1951, during the local elections, Adelabu and some other political elements formed a new party called the Ibadan People’s Party to challenge the already established Ibadan Progressive Union and fortunately for Adelabu, the new party won all six seats to the Western Regional Assembly.

However, the Ibadan People’s Party broke apart after an informal alliance with NCNC was proposed by Adelabu. Adegoke Adelabu stayed with NCNC and became the secretary of the party’s Western Province Working Committee. In 1954, Adelabu became the chairman of Ibadan District Council. Also, in the Federal elections of 1954, Adegoke Adelabu won a seat to the House of Representatives and later became the First National Vice President of NCNC and appointed Minister of Social Services. He held this post along with his chairmanship of the Ibadan district council.

He later resigned from both positions after allegations of corruption by the opposition party, Action Group.
In 1956, Adelabu ran for a seat in the regional assembly as the leader of NCNC in the Western Region but his party lost majority seats to Action Group thus making Adelabu the leader of opposition in the Western House of Assembly.
Adegoke Adelabu alias Adelabu Penkelemesi was a strong politician, leader and had his ground, a firm ground, in Ibadan. He was found of using the phrase “Peculiar mess” whenever he address the public. The non-literate segment of his followers who had never heard of the words peculiar and mess and never knew its meaning Yorubanized the phrase into “Penkelemesi” and then added it to his name- Adegoke Adelabu Penkelemesi. The people so much loved Adelabu. He was indeed a ‘man of the people’. OldNaija gathered that when he became the Minister of Labour, he was given an official limousine car which he drove to Ibadan to show his friends and followers and declared that the car belonged to them, not him. Also, when Adelabu was given an official residence in Ikoyi, the most exquisite part of Lagos inhabited mostly by the British and French, he called drummers from his hometown to celebrate the success which the British and French residents found disturbing. Adegoke Adelabu simply said, “If they do not like noise and drumming, they are free to go back to their own country.” Adegoke Adelabu admitted being an egoist in a book he wrote in 1952 titled ‘Africa In Ebullition: Being a handbook of freedom for Nigerian nationalists’.

On March 25, 1958, at the age of 43, Adegoke Adelabu met his untimely death in a fatal car accident on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. His death sparked protest and chaos in Ibadan as many of his supporters claimed he was assassinated by his opponents with juju. Several properties were destroyed and people also lost their lives. The police arrested over 500 persons of whom 102 was charged with murder and others discharged and some, jailed. It was indeed a big loss, a “peculiar miss” for the people of Ibadan.
