My Adventures With Sikiru, The Okada Rider (Episode3)
I moaned like the sl~t I was, enjoying the attention on my b••bs and aching for my p~$$y to be filled. He didn't disappoint me as he pushed down my skirt and panties with one hand while still tweaking my n¡pples with the other. My p~$$y was bared to his gaze and he basked in the sight of my bare snatch exposed in all its glory. He blew on it
and I gasped, pushing forward, wanting all the attention I can get. He dipped a finger in my juicing p~$$y and brought it to his lips, licking his fingers clean and savouring the taste. I was no longer myself as I groaned and moaned in lust, wanting more.
He obliged me by spreading my legs wide on the table with me helping him further by leaning as far back on the desk as I could, bending my knees and pushing my gushing p~$$y forward for closer access. Without preamble, he lashed onto my aching and flooding p~$$y, sucking for all he was worth as if his life depended on it. I bucked and
bucked, moaning in lustful delight as I pushed my pussy further and further in his face as if I would drown him with pussy juices. He didn't mind as he sucked away, giving my cl¡t little nips then circling round it with his tongue. Often he tongue f~cked my p~$$y driving me wild. I moaned aloud as I had series of mini c~ms and then couldn't hold back my shout of pleasure as a big c~m began its journey from my p~$$y to the centre of my body. My toes curled and I held on to his head urging him on as I had a very massive c~m.
'What the f~ck?' a voice intruding on my pleasure but I was too far gone to notice or come down from my high. My p~$$y kept convulsing, clenching and contracting as I kept c~mming.
I gradually came down from the cloud I was to be confronted by my friend Patty standing inside my office and staring at me spread on my desk and my p~$$y being eaten by a hunk.
'hmmm , I ' I stammered, at a lose for what to say but still in the euphoria of my c~m to really comprehend what was happening and my p~$$y still very sensitive yet aching for a sound f~ck.
'I want some too' she said. Surprise!!!!!! Patty simply slipped off her dress and took his er3ct d¡ck in her mouth, s~cking for all she was worth.
It was one raunchy s3x fest as we ended up having a threesome, with him f~cking and s~cking the both of us and us taking turns to s~ck him.
That was how our friendship became a one of a kind....a f~cking kind!

RUQOYA'S Reverie: How to upgrade from a 'Sidechick' to the 'Mainchick'
....this is for girls who are tired of being second fiddle, see there is no single man out there is single. You either snatch a man or you share, just make sure you are a mainchick.
Now the first step: Dont always say YES to everything he says, you should be there for him when he needs you but learn to say NO to his needs at times. This would make him want you more.
Second Step: You have to find out where the Present main chick is going wrong or things she isn't doing, then do it in a better way. That would make him see that you are better than her.
Step3: Make him jealous,you have to do this without looking like a flirt. So just make him jealous with the presence of another man who would appear like a threat to him although this does not mean flirting around town.
Step4: Learn to tell him you are busy, so that you won't become the Sarewagba. You have to ignore his 'I miss you text' at times,just till he really misses you.
Step5: Never let him know that you are jealous of the present mainchick, act like you don't give a f~ck that she exists.
...All thes and more would help you in becoming the Main chick you desire. Remember men are "confused little toddlers",you have the ability to decide on how he sees you, just go for it girl! And remember there is no Mr right out there like it is said»»»»find mr left and drag the 'idiot' to the right....

MUST READ: THE POWER OF CHANGE by Ibrahym Mojeed-Sanni
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The wind of the revolutionary change from the turpitude of administrative ineptitude and rudderless leadership as exemplified by the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria makes common sense revolution of changing from the old ways of 'doing it' without any meaningful result to a progressive approach, which the All Progressives Congress (APC) with its change slogan provides, as the catalyst for a new Nigeria. Though tough, daunting, tortuous and requires a whole lot of sacrifice, the proponents of a wholesome change in the custodianship of our common patrimony take solace in seeing light at the end of the tunnel giving the enormity of the human and natural resources the nation is endowed with. Nigeria is too rich a nation to be poor and too blessed to lack! The most constant phenomenon is change. Change from the negative to the positive. Even positive state of affairs must be cosseted of complacency and developed to higher pedestal. That is the elasticity of change. Irrespective of economic strata, gender or demography, change is desirable. Nations with visionary leaders don't relish stagnancy. Change can come in many forms in our lives. It might come forcefully like a tidal wave, or creep along incrementally like a glacier. It might come in the form of devastating tragedy, difficult choices, broken relationships, or even new opportunities. Even though change is often difficult, many times it is also for the best.
It is not surprising that, having seen the embrace and enthusiasm shown to the change exponents, based on clear direction and purposeful leadership, the ruling PDP is surreptitiously abandoning its campaign slogan of 'Power To The People', for change! The power to the people mantra was misconstrued by the PDP hierarchy to mean having power for the fun of it and as a means of enriching political acolytes and business cohorts. In retrospect, PDP leaders would have come to the reality that power is not everything. Power is nothing if the people you superintend over cannot have access to dividends of democracy. Power is nothing when poverty pervades the country. Power is nothing when new and old university graduates continue to roam the streets jobless. Power is nothing when the populace cannot access qualitative education. Power is nothing when the people cannot have access to potable water. Power is nothing when ancient locomotives are being glamorized as transformation of the transport sector. Power is nothing when corruption and impunity reigns in the polity. Power is nothing when the whole country is unsecured and people live in fear and trepidation. Power is nothing when our once revered army is rattled by some rag-tag insurgents. Power is nothing when our image in the comity of nations continues to nose-dive. Power is nothing when the nation's currency continues to lose value.
In a veiled attempt at not being seen as engaging in anti-party activities or using the slogan of the opposition, PDP campaigners are shamelessly cloning the change slogan of APC with defeatist coinage like: 'Change The Changer', 'True Change', 'Real Change', 'Change For All','Positive Change' and the more recent campaign of President Goodluck Jonathan in the social media 'Forward We Go, Let Them Not Short CHANGE Us.' As the yorubas will say, Ise lo n'je tani mo e ri, owo lo n'je mo ba e tan( Success has many families while failure is an orphan). It is soothing and gratifying to see the PDP identifying with change, as projected by APC, just as it will not be too late for many of the PDP profiteers to attune themselves with reality and embrace the needed change our dear nation crave for at this moment. On November 25, 2014, former PDP members like Governors Rotimi Amaechi, Rabiu Kwankaso, Aliyu Wamakko, Murtala Nyako and Abdulfatah Ahmed of Rivers, Kano, Sokoto, Adamawa and Kwara states respectively, were smart enough to see that the rudderless PDP ship was heading towards wreckage and quickly embraced the progressive train. Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a founding father of the PDP and former Chairman of the party's Board of Trustee on Monday, February 16, 2015 openly shred into tatters his membership card of the 'biggest party in Africa'! That move, signals the imminent demise of PDP in Nigeria. With former President Olusegun Obasanjo out of PDP, who then are the leaders left in the party? Tony Anenih, Ahmadu Alli, Edwin Clark, Bode George and Diepreye Alamieyeseigha! For obvious reason, the PDP needs to reexamine itself if these names are the best it can offer as the leaders of the party.
As we earnestly countdown to the change of baton and direction of governance in Nigeria, kudos must be given to the political egg-heads and strategist that formulated, signed and sealed change, as the catch phrase of the most vibrant and indissoluble opposition party Nigeria has ever produced. From February 2013, when the party was formed, the change slogan has reverberated across the length and breadth of the country, cutting across all the geo-political zones. From the South-West to the South-East, South-East to the South-South, South-South to the North-Central, North-Central to the North-West and North-West to the North-East, people have imbibed the change mantra with the broom symbol. The change message is further given pragmatic meaning with impressive antecedents and integrity of the Presidential candidate of APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, whose cult-like followership, frugal disposition and incorruptible records of public service have helped in driving-home the much desired change Nigeria deserves at this crucial juncture in our evolution and developmental trajectory. In the words of the immortal preeminent leader of Indian independence movement, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more commonly known as 'Mahatma' (Great Soul): "Be the change that you wish to see in the world."The time is now, for us to put our thumbs were our minds are, by marching our words with action on March 28, 2015. Let's brake away from indecisive, faltering, lame-duck and bulk-passing governance and say Goodluck to Buhari with our votes.
This is Nigeria's turning point; the point where we must collectively carry the cross of nationhood and banish redundancy, incompetency and mediocrity once and forever. Change is here.

Amazing! Cleaner who earns N7,800 finds, returns misplaced N12million
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
But for the honest gesture of a cleaner, an Emirates Airline passenger would have lost a whopping $27,000 (N12million).
Josephine Agwu who works as a cleaner at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, returned the money to the security unit of the airport.
Daily Newswatch reported that the money was left last month in a bag by a passenger simply identified as Samuel from Anambra State.
Explaining why she returned the money, Josephine said that she acted on instruction given that any bag left unattended to at the airport terminal must be picked and deposited with aviation security department of the airport.
According to her, after asking other passengers if the bag belonged to anyone of them and they all responded contrary, she picked the bag and took it to the security unit, where it was opened and found to contain $27,000 and other currencies, including naira, which added up to N12 million.
When asked if she regretted her action when she realised that she could have bettered her future with it, Josephine who claimed she has a very rich Christian background, said: "If I have taken what doesn't belong to me, God will punish me. I am contented with my N7,800 monthly salary. It was not my money. I believe when it pleases God, he will bless the work of my hands and he will make me rich.
"This is not the first time I am doing this. This is the third time in this airport. The first was in the departure area. It belonged to a Nigerian. The second was at the screening point, it belonged to a white man. Of all, only the white man rewarded me with $50, which I rejected until my colleagues prevailed on me to collect it," said the Ordinary National Diploma (Accounting) holder.
She also said she had worked with many airlines as a casual worker in Enugu, with track record of honesty, without anyone of them offering her full employment before she moved down to Lagos to seek greener pasture but however, got a job at the airport as a cleaner.
The Airport Manager, MMIA, Lagos, Nathaniel Auta and Chief Security Officer (CSO) of the airport, Colonel Carl Onalo (retired) separately confirmed the incidence.
Onalo said management of the airport and possibly that of Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) would do everything possible to celebrate Josephine for her honesty at the airport, as he used the opportunity to call on passengers and other users of the airport to have the assurance that whatever they bring to the airport is safe.There are now strong indications that Josephine may soon be rewarded by Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka who in conjunction with ICPC, promised that anyone found to be of good conduct would be highly rewarded. Chidoka had vowed too that those caught contravening the anti- corruption regulations in the airports, would be made to face the full wrath of the law.

Some notable and influential men in Nigerian political and business sectors have turned against themselves over a piece of a woman's cleavage. Caught in this infamous love triangle are; former governor, Orji Uzoh Kalu, a billionaire businessman, Chief Chris Uba and a member of the Federal House of Representatives, Hon. Nnena Ukeje.
Information has it that the lady at the center of the drama, who is happily married, but rides roughshod over her husband, was initially dating the former governor during his tenure but later dumped him for the Anambra State born billionaire, Chief Chris Uba.
Then the bubble busted when the two straying men of power later found out that they have been ploughing in same farm land.
Consequently, both men no longer see eye to eye. They have also vowed to deal with each other and have already begun as they now work surreptitiously to undermine themselves both politically and business-wise, where they all play big.
A brief investigation into the life of the powerful 'bottom power' who was capable of stirring political wars between two state high chiefs reveal that Nnenna Ukeje (born Nnenna Ijeoma Elendu Ukeje), B.Ed, is the Representative for Bende Federal Constituency, Abia State, Nigeria. She was re-elected to this position on May 29, 2011 and also serves as the Chairman for Foreign Affairs Committee. She is said to be very fair, pretty and madly in love with hats. A good dresser and has been in politics for over a decade.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has urged the Federal Government to keep schools open during the 2015 general election so as to allow students exercise their franchise.
Addressing newsmen in Abuja on the state of the nation, the NANS president, Mr Tijani Shehu stated that keeping schools open, would give Nigerian students the opportunity to collect their PVCs and also to vote in their respective schools.
Shehu stress that Nigerian students had the liberty to choose their leaders, adding that they should not be deprived of the right.
Shehu, who supported the adjustment of the electoral timetable, described it as a step in the right direction, saying, "it allows the security agencies, especially the multinational military force, the opportunity to make Nigeria safer while also giving INEC the time and space to prepare better for the elections.
"We have higher numbers of people that belong to the same political ideology, by this we urge the government to ensure that our schools are not shut down to ensure that students are not disenfranchised because we believe that Nigerian
students have the mandate to choose their leaders.
"We urge INEC to do all it can to ensure that all the issues ranging from the
distribution of PVCs
to provision of all necessary logistics are resolved," he said.
Nigerians must have confidence in INEC and the electoral process. We also particularly want to urge our students to seize this opportunity
to access their PVCs."
The Ministry of Education has earlier directed that all schools should remain open during this electioneering period. He promised that adequate security measures would be put in place to safeguard the lives of students and teachers.

President Jonathan Is Serious About Fighting Corruption -Jimi Agbaje Reveals
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Jimi Agbaje, says President Goodluck Jonathan is being criticised unfairly, adding that the President is effectively tackling corruption.
Agbaje said this at a youth interactive session organised by the Directorate of Youth Mobilisation of the PDP in Lagos on Monday.
He noted that the Transparency International report on corruption showed that out of 174 countries evaluated for corruption, Nigeria ranked 136th which means at least 38 countries are more corrupt than Nigeria.
He said, "I don't know if you read recently the report by Transparency International on corruption. They say Jonathan is not fighting corruption. Of all the past Presidents and heads of state, including military, it is on record today that Jonathan's record in fighting corruption is the best. They say he is not fighting corruption but he has the highest score in the last 20 years among those that have been fighting corruption."
The PDP candidate said Jonathan was a true democrat and that was why he signed the Freedom of Information Bill into law.
He said despite the insults being hurled at Jonathan, the President refused to intimidate anyone.
He said the fact that Jonathan chose Prof. Attahiru Jega to head the Independent National Electoral Commission showed that Jonathan was more interested in free and fair elections than power.
He said, "It is only because Jonathan allowed democracy, that is why they can be insulting him the way they like. The person that was there before Jonathan, could they talk to him like that? But you see democracy is about freedom of speech, freedom of choice but do they allow that?
"Jonathan has allowed freedom of information. There is no freedom of information in Lagos State. They have not yet passed the law and they talk about democracy. Jonathan chose an impartial person to run INEC because he believes in democracy and that is why the elections are more competitive. If it was our own person, we would not be campaigning like this because we would believe that we had won."

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The police in Lagos have shot dead an alleged kidnap gang leader, John Paul, in a gun duel that ensued while a hotel director was being rescued.
It was gathered that the victim, Saheed Kolawole, who was abducted in the Ikorodu area of Lagos was rescued alive.
It was learnt that Kolawole was abducted on January 30 at about 10pm.
According to the police, Kolawole is the director of Scot Hotel in Odonla, Ikorodu, Lagos.
Our correspondent gathered that the kidnappers, who took Kolawole to an unknown destination, contacted Kolawole's family on the phone and demanded a ransom of $200,000.
It was learnt that while the family reported the matter to the police, they also made arrangements to pay the ransom. The gang reportedly told the relatives to come to a place in the Owutu, Ikorodu area.
Our correspondent gathered that the kidnappers, on February 4, came on a motorcycle to collect the ransom as agreed with the family.
Our correspondent was told that as the kidnappers made to collect the ransom, a gun duel ensued between them and operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad who were lying in ambush.
During the shootout, the gang leader, 31-year-old Paul, reportedly sustained bullet wounds while other members fled the scene.
Paul was said to have been rushed to a hospital by the police, where he died the following day.
Our correspondent learnt that the police were able to locate the kidnapper's hideout, where Kolawole was being held, and freed him.
A police source revealed to our correspondent that Kolawole was brutalised by the gang as they cut his body with cutlasses to coerce his family into paying the ransom.
The source added that the same gang had attacked the Owutu Police Division in Ikorodu, and killed two policemen during another gun duel.
He said, "The kidnappers took him (Kolawole) to an uncompleted building in the Owutu area from where they were communicating with his family.
"They stripped him naked, and used cutlass on his body. They poured petrol on his skin and threatened to burn it so that his family would hear his scream on the phone and agree to pay the ransom.
"It was the same gang which attacked the Owutu Police Station and shot dead two policemen. They are known to have multiple hideouts in the area. The police have shot dead their gang leader and the others had fled for now."
Our correspondent learnt that the operational vehicle of the gang, a Toyota Corolla with registration number, APP 626 CP, was recovered by the police.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, said at a press briefing on Tuesday that further investigations were ongoing to apprehend other fleeing gang members.
He said, "When I got the information, I directed the Operation Commander, SARS, SP Abba Kyari, to go after the gang.
"The SARS decoy team was able to gun down the kidnap gang leader and rescue the victim alive. The operational vehicle of the gang was also recovered while further investigations are ongoing to apprehend other fleeing gang members."

Policemen Threatens To Go On Strike, Disrupt Elections Over Unpaid Wages
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
More than 15,000 police officers have threatened to either go on strike or disrupt the March 28 and April 11 general elections.
They were made up of officers who were promoted from the rank of sergeant to the rank of inspector and those promoted from the rank of inspector to the rank of assistant superintendent of police in December 2013.
The policemen, according to seven of them who met with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Tuesday, said that they were promoted since December 2013, but that the police authorities had refused to pay them their new salaries.
They said that after waiting for the police authorities for over a year, they were surprised that they were paid their new salaries with the January 2015 salaries, wondering why the money meant for the 13 month was not included.
One of them said, "We were promoted in December 2013 and the letters which were given to us indicated that we were to enjoy the benefits accruing to our new rank from the date of our promotion.
"We waited to be paid throughout last year, which was 2014. They didn't pay us, saying that the money was not yet released.
"In January this year, they paid us the new salary that was commensurate with our new ranks. But they have refused to pay the areas for the 13 month."
Another officer, who is an ASP, said, "We know that there is corruption in the Force, but how can someone sit on our 13th month salaries and would expect us to keep quiet?
"Elections are coming. They said we should be neutral. How can we be neutral when we are being shortchanged by our bosses and the country?
"We want to be paid or else there would be crisis during the elections. This is the time for us to shout so that Nigerians would know what we are passing through."
When contacted by one of our correspondents, the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emmanuel Ojukwu, said though he had not been briefed about the issue, he nevertheless promised that their grievances would be looked into and addressed.
"I have not heard of the report, but we will look into their grievances and address them," he said.

Oga o! Arik Air Staff Nabbed While Stealing Fuel From Airplane
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Mr. Osita Chidoka, the Aviation Minister, on Monday February 16 stated that the ministry has arrested three staff of Arik Air for stealing fuel from an air plane.
Chidoka wrote this on his official Facebook page, stating that a group of three workers, Isaac Ajakaiye Blessing Dugbe and Samuel Asuquo were arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, during a security patrol operation on Sunday February 15, 2015 around 3 a.m.
He stated that the three staff were stealing Jet A1 fuel from Arik Air plane, with registration number: 5N-MID into six kegs for sale at a cheaper price to other unsuspecting airline operators.
"A development that has capacity, to threaten safety and security of airplanes. Meanwhile, the three suspects were handed over to the Crime Investigation Bureau (CIB), AVSEC MMIA for further action," he stated.
Chidoka maintained that in the aviation industry's fight against corruption and security breaches, "other chief security officers and heads of aviation security have been alerted and directed to intensify patrol and surveillance operations at various airports across the country".
He added that the importance of the crime to the security and safety of airplanes has necessitated the chief security officer of the Lagos airport to ensure that the suspects are handed over to the airport police for adequate prosecution.
Arik airline is yet to officially comment on the latest incident.

Busted! Federal Government Uncovers 62,892 Ghost Workers...saves over 200billion
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Federal Government has uncovered 62,892 ghost workers, an exercise from which the government has been able to save over N208.7bn.
This, the government said was made possible following the introduction of Government Integrated Financial Management Information System and Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System, new systems of payment recently introduced.
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonja-Iweala, stated this on Tuesday in Abuja, during a lecture with the theme, 'Preventing leakages in the Nigerian Economy', organised by the Catholic Caritas Foundation of Nigeria, an organ of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria.
Meanwhile, following the gradual rebound of crude oil prices, the Minister said she would be engaging members of the National Assembly this week to sort out a few areas in the 2015 budget.
She also explained strategies the government had adopted to tackle corruption in pension and emoluments of civil servants.
Already, 14 persons, who were attempting to outsmart the system in pensions and government efforts at fighting ghost workers, are to face trial for blocking government reforms.
The Minister said that there were frantic efforts by some special interests within the civil service who were benefitting from the loopholes in the system to block the systems initiated by the government including GIFMIS.
While giving a detailed account of President Goodluck Jonathan's administration performance and anti-corruption efforts, she stated that taming the monster of graft had become a priority for government to remain on track.
Okonja-Iweala said, "Corruption has been with us and we must crack it. We need to stop impunity, we have to constantly tackle corruption for us to stop the leakages. There are efforts to prevent all avenues where corrupt practices thrive in government circles.
"Putting systemic checks in place remains the best strategic way of tackling corruption and solving the root causes of corruption. If you don't fix this system, the next people that will come in will continue with the current system. And we are putting in place a system to stop corruption."
Okonja-Iweala who spoke on the recent forensic audit of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation by PriceWater Coopers, said it had shown clearly the existing gaps in tackling corruption in the oil sector.
According to her, the Federal Government has "ordered the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to return the funds" as soon as possible.
When asked about her expectation of the 2015 budget, the minister said, "It will now depend on the final scenario and we are going to be discussing it with the National Assembly this week. You know at $65, we had a scenario; so let us wait.
"Whatever the benchmark we come up with, together with the National Assembly, we will know exactly our borrowing plan."
She said the present administration had done so much to block various means through which government resources were being stolen.
The Minister said, "When we talk of corruption, we had a system that is cash-based. For example, when we want to pay salaries we will send money to Ministry of Agriculture and say here is your money, pay your people. For Education Ministry, this is your money, pay your people. Yes, that is what we were doing before.
"Whereas, if we had electronic platform there will be no transfer of cash. That is what we have done. Now with the introduction of GIFMIS such avenue has been blocked. What does it do? It transfers money electronically from budget to Accountant-General; from Accountant-General to Ministries, Departments and Agencies. And guess what in December: remember that salaries were delayed.
"There was a problem. Everybody thought the economy was broke. But what happened was that 14 agencies that were on GIFMIS tried to pay more and utilize more than what was programmed, the system locked them out. And they could not pay one person in their agencies. The President was initially worried but when I now told him the reason, there was smile on his face. He said, 'so we have a system that can do that' and I said yes."

T.B Joshua Fined By Lagos Court For Delaying Trail Relating To Collapse Building Inquest
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
A Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja has awarded a N25, 000 fine against the Founder, Synagogue Church Of All Nations, Prophet T.B. Joshua, for "deliberately stalling hearing" in a suit he filed against a Lagos coroner, Magistrate O.A. Komolafe.
Komolafe is the coroner probing the September 12, 2014 building collapse in the premises of SCOAN in Ikotun, Lagos. No fewer than 116 persons, mostly South Africans, died in the incident.
Justice Lateefa Okunnu, while awarding the cost against Joshua on Tuesday, berated the prophet for "wasting the time of the court and tax payers' money."
The judge expressed displeasure that the matter, which was filed in December last year, had been bogged down in several adjournments at the instance of Joshua.
Okunnu's order followed the announcement by Joshua's lawyer, Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), that his client had filed two fresh applications before the court in relation to the case.
"We filed two processes yesterday. One is a motion and the other one is the applicant's consolidated reply on points of law," Fagbemi told the judge.
Counsel for the Lagos State Government, Mr. Karmardeen Bakare, said he had just been served with the said processes on Tuesday morning in the court premises.
The state counsel said it would be impossible for him to go on with the case in the circumstance as he needed time to look at the fresh applications and reply appropriately.
He therefore urged the court for an adjournment.
Okunnu said it was clear that the day's proceeding had been hampered by Joshua's fresh applications.
The judge said the fine must be paid before the next adjourned date and that Joshua must file an affidavit of compliance as evidence.
The prophet had approached Okunnu, asking for a judicial review of the coroner's inquest into the building collapse in his church.
The coroner's inquest, which commenced on October 13, last year had the mandate to determine the cause of death of the victims.
But Joshua, in his application before Okunnu, asked the judge to determine whether the witness summons served on him to appear personally before the coroner was not a breach of his right to fair hearing.
He had also argued, through Fagbemi, that the coroner had been extending the inquest into areas outside his jurisdiction.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Senate on Tuesday summoned the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Attahiru Jega, to appear before it on Wednesday(today).
Jega is expected to brief senators on INEC's readiness for the forthcoming March 28 and April 11 elections.
The senate, which resumed plenary on Tuesday after a 33-day break, took the decision following a motion by its Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba.
Ndoma-Egba, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, while presenting the motion asked Jega to come with a card reader for demonstration before the lawmakers.
The Minority Leader, George Akume, who contributed to the motion, suggested that the service chiefs should also be invited since they were blamed by INEC for the postponement of the polls hitherto scheduled for February 14 and 28.
But Senate President David Mark ruled that summoning the service chiefs was not necessary at the moment.
The Senators, through voice vote, approved the invitation of Jega, while agreeing that the invitation of the service chiefs would be determined by Jega's submission on Wednesday.

Jigawa Governor, Sule Lamido wants PDP To Beg Obasanjo
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State on Tuesday emerged from a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, giving an indication that the Peoples Democratic Party stakeholders would beg former President Olusegun Obasanjo who dumped the party on Monday.
Lamido, who is the North-West Coordinator of Goodluck/Sambo Presidential Campaign, told State House correspondents that Obasanjo remained the father of all.
He said Jonathan and all the state governors were creations of the former President.
He explained that it was only appropriate that "when a father is angry with his children, the children should beg him."
Lamido said, "Baba (Obasanjo) is more than a party man. He is an icon, a national symbol and a leader and an inventor, a creator of all the institutions today in Nigeria from the President to the governors who are his own sons, are all his creations.
"And so, when a father is angry with his own children, we will only say we are sorry to him. But then, we cannot be renounced for whatever it is.
"If you do any political DNA of our blood, you will find his (Obasanjo's) blood in us. No matter what we are, we may not be able to live up to his expectations.
"We might have made some mistakes, but abandoning us is not the solution because the country is first before anything else. So, he is our Baba even up to the President.
"Baba is our baba no matter what. He is angry with us, but then, what do we do? He gave us the life at a time when Nigerians were fighting us, he stood for us. Since 2011, in 2007, he stood firm for us.
"He is our father. And so, if we made some mistakes, we are only human because we are heading human institutions. And I think by the time he reflects, how could he abandon his own children like that. Wherever we are, we are right in his heart. He feels for us, he cares for us."
When asked to be specific on whether they would go and beg Obasanjo to return to the party, Lamido said such issue was not the kind he would announce publicly.
"When there is some kind of misunderstanding between a father and a child, you don't go to NTA or any other media to say you are going to do this.
"I mean the bond between us is so strong. I know he is equally pained. I know what he is going through because he is our father, but I will not tell you the strategy because when he was producing us, you were not there, when he was making us, were you there?," the governor said.
When told that some party chiefs had already said they would not miss the former President, the governor said Jonathan who he described as Obasanjo's first child had not said so.
"But then, the first child is the President, did he say so?," he asked.
When asked again if Obasanjo's constant criticisms of the President did not worry him, Lamido said "when parents get old, they tend to manifest signs of old age."
He added, "What I am saying is that all of us have parents. When we were born, they pepped us, gave us their love, gave us everything. By the time they get old, naturally, there is what they call role reversal. We became the parents and they became the children. So, what is wrong if our parents begin to manifest those signs of old age?"
Lamido insisted that despite all the perceived setbacks, the PDP would still win the forthcoming elections.
He said, "What is this opposition in Nigeria? You must know Nigerian history. Nigeria cannot be governed by an aggregate of pain, anger and frustration.

Rotimi Amaechi Accuses Patience Jonathan Of Being Behind APC Okrika Mayhem
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, has accused the wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Dame Patience Jonathan, of being responsible for the attack on members and supporters of the All Progressives Congress in Okrika, Rivers State, on Tuesday.
Amaechi, who spoke on Tuesday with newsmen in Abuja after an enlarged APC leaders' meeting at the Shehu Yar'Adua Centre in Abuja, condemned the act of violence and expressed disappointment over the law enforcement agents' failure to ensure a hitch free campaign for the APC, despite having earlier assured the party of security and gave approval for the campaign to hold.
He added, "Again, as usual, the wife of the President won't allow the APC hold rally in that place (Okrika). The wife of the President and the governorship candidate of Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers again organised thugs to disrupt the APC rally.
"As usual, the police couldn't protect us; over 200 policemen. I asked the commissioner of police and he said they have over 200 policemen there. Yet, three explosions and then they opened fire on members of APC. The Channels TV reporter, I hear, was injured, stabbed, and members of APC injured.
"We had meetings with DSS (Directorate of State Service) and police and they confirmed we could go ahead. There were 200 policemen and there were over 20 to 30 DSS men, who came there and they did nothing."

Scores Dead As Multiple Explosion Hits Biu, Borno State
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
There was multiple bomb explosions in Biu, the biggest town in south of the troubled Borno State on Tuesday, a resident of the town, Ibrahim Isah, said on the telephone.
Though details of the explosions remain sketchy as the extent of damages and number of casualty could not be ascertained on Tuesday afternoon, Isah said the incident occurred at about noon.
He insisted that it was massive and might have led to huge loss of lives.
A member of youth vigilante, who spoke on the condition of anonymity on the telephone to our correspondent, said the incident happened at a neighbourhood known as Yamarkumi along Maiduguri Road.
"There were three explosions in Yamarkumi here in Biu town. Many people have been affected; the casualty figure from what we are seeing now have surpassed that of the market suicide bombing that occurred on Thursday. Ambulances are rushing in and out for now. We will give you details later, "another health worker told our correspondent.
However, one medical source at the General Hospital, Biu told AFP that 36 people were killed while 20 were injured in the blast.
Effort to get a confirmation of the incident from the Police and military authorities failed. But a security source at the 7th Division of the Nigerian Army, Maiduguri, an Army captain, whose name could not be published as he was not authorised to speak to the press, said the matter had been reported and the military operatives were already embarking on a full scale action in the area.
Meanwhile, the Boko Haram insurgents have burnt down the palace of the Emir of Askira in Askira-Uba Local Government Area of Borno State, the spokesman for the youth vigilante group, Jubrin Gunda, said on Tuesday.
Speaking to our correspondent on the telephone from Maiduguri, the state capital, Gunda said the palace was attacked by the insurgents on Sunday night.
He said during the Sunday's attack the palace was razed by the sect's fighters.
He lamented that after beating a retreat on Sunday, the insurgents came back to Askira on Monday morning to continue their reign of terror as they burnt down some other houses and killed many residents of the town.
He said, "As of now, I cannot tell you the number of people killed but all I can say is that the palace of the emir was razed on Sunday by the insurgents at night, they equally returned to burn more houses in the town on Monday morning."
"At the moment, they are not in the town as they have fled back into the bushes and as such you cannot say the town was captured."
