Actor and movie producer, Saidi Balogun has cried out for help. Saidi says his new movie ‘You or I’ which he spent millions of naira on has been pirated. The actor says he wonders how it was done, because he and the movie marketer were really cautious about every step they took. The movie has so many foreign acts and Saidi says he borrowed the money he invested in it. Pretty sad!  “You or I’ has been pirated. I am in serious debt now. The marketer of the movie, Adikaz and I are confused at the moment because we’re yet to come to terms on how the evil deed was done despite being very careful. Those pirates have wrecked their havoc again. It’s painful, very sad. I am not happy at the moment. All my labour and resources have wasted.”

Ribadu’s siblings registered for him at his Makama Ward in Yola South and sent the registration card to him in Abuja to enable him pick the PDP governorship form for the Adamawa State governorship election. It was also gathered that he would likely address journalists on Monday on his governorship ambition. But when Punch contacted them, the national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party said it was not aware yet that the former EFCC boss had defected to the party from the All Progressives Congress. The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Ibrahim Jalo, said “It is after the official defection that we can say whether he had moved or not and whether he will get waiver or not. Even at that, he has to ask for the waiver.” On different social media platforms on Saturday, prominen...

By Femi Fani-Kayode I disagree with those who have described Patrick Sawyer as a madman. He was not mad at all, but just evil. He was a man that was on a mission. That mission was to spread the ebola virus to Nigeria and to infect and kill as many people as possible with it. He was an evil man with an evil intention and purpose. Worst still, he was not working alone. Some people, and I mean rich, powerful and well-connected people, were working with him. As a matter of fact, they sent him on the mission. They cultivated him, took care of him, paid him, brainwashed him, gave him all that he wanted in life and finally asked him to go on a suicide mission to destroy the lives of others and spread the deadly disease. This was a clear case of bio-terrorism and Sawyer was simply a pawn in a bigger game and a wider picture. The motive of those who sent him was to spread fear and panic, to kill as many people as possible, to create a need for a solution to the problem, to prepare the groun...
