My Adventures With Sikiru, The Okada Rider
My adventures with Sikiru, the Okada rider started innocently enough.
While returning from work one fateful evening, my car broke down and all efforts I made to at least have it take me home that night proved abortive. I called my mechanic who did everything he knew how to make the car move but my car was not ready to sleep at home that night.
"aunty, we go leave the car here o!' my mechanic declared 'you know say we no fit push automatic and na tomoro I go fit buy and fix wetin spoil inside'
'okay' I replied sadly.
I had to lock up and leave the car where it was and was left with no choice but to take the popular okada home since my fiancé had travelled some days earlier and would only be returning that night.
It was already dark and almost 8pm by the time we finished arrangement to leave the car where it was. I called a passing okada rider and while we were going, I noticed him pushing back at my ample boobs, trying to push back at my cr•tch. I pretended not to notice but when he continued, my n¡pples became taut and stood erect. I couldn't hold it anymore after some time and pushed back at his back, moving closer
to him on the okada so as have more friction on my b••bs.
My pantless p~$$y was dripping wet and hot.
The okada suddenly stopped at a bushy lonely stretch of the road and the okada man said something was wrong with the machine. He started
fiddling with it and I just stared at his cr•tch which had a noticeable bulge. I couldn't resist any longer and just grabbed his hands and put it on my exposed thighs, I was wearing a mini length
lycra skirt. Exactly what he had been waiting for! As he pulled up my skirt and pushed his fingers into my sopping wet p~$$y, fingering me
and finger f~cking me deeply. I pushed back on his finger leaning on the okada and moaning loudly like the slut I was.
He pulled out my b••bs and started s~cking on them one after the other. I pulled down
his shorts and one of the biggest c•cks I had ever seen sprang free!!!!
I gasped and cum loudly from the mere sight of that c•ck. I quickly opened my bag, brought out a cd and encased his c•ck with it. Then turned and presented my glistening wet p~$$y to him d•ggy, holding on tightly to the okada, bending my waist and raising my p~$$y as high as I could. He didn't hesitate as he quickly shoved all that c•ckmeat
into my hungry p~$$y, pushing it all in at once while grabbing and squeezing my b••bs for all it was worth from behind. I moaned loudly
and pushed back at him, meeting him stroke for stroke and wanting it all!!!
He f~cked me like a real slut, banging into me hard and fast and not sparing my hanging b••bs by fondling them hard and squeezing my erect n¡pples, bringing tears of pleasure to my eyes. I moaned in pleasure, not minding the glare of oncoming vehicles' headlights occasionally lighting us up like a stadium, making it obvious to all
and sundry what we were doing.
Okada man just banged away, oblivious of the havoc he was causing in my oliver twist p~$$y. He f~cked me for over twenty minutes and I had
c~m after c~m until he grunted and gave a mighty shove spilling his seed into the rubber encasing his c•ck. He pulled out, removed and threw way the c~mfilled cd then pulled up his shorts while I pulled
down my skirt and rearranged my b••bs in my blouse. My p~$$y was hot and wet with several cum, flowing p~$$y juices.
I stood aside waiting for him to finish the repairs for us to leave but to my surprise, he got on his bike, kicked it started and told me to climb on. I asked if the bike was okay and he said yes, that he
parked because we both wanted a f~ck. We both laughed it off and he told me his name was Sikiru.
He gave me his number and that I should feel
free to call on him whenever I needed servicing. It was a slutty thing to say to a lady but I don't deceive myself, I know am far from a lady, I'm a slut.
Sikiru dropped me off at the junction to my house and after paying him (with him squeezing my b••bs in the process) I walked home, thinking of the f~ck I just had, the size of his c•ck and dreamily imagining
when next I would have to feel that wonderful c•ck again in my constantly aching p~$$y.
I got home, showered, made dinner and showered again. About forty five minutes after my arrival home, James drove in and I welcomed him with
open arms, my p~$$y once again wet at the thought of f~cking my loving fiancé.
While making love, he asked how I had been coping without him for the past three days and I smiled demurely, thinking of the raunchy s3x I had just had with sikiru, the okada man. If only he knew……….
Watch out for the next session!!!

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Three persons have been confirmed dead in Ijebu Ode, Ijebu Ode local government area of Ogun state after two cult group engaged in a free for all fight over the largesse of a senatorial candidate in the area.
Our correspondent reliably gathered that during one of the campaign tour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate for Ogun East, Prince Buruj Kashamu, he gave out some large chunk of money to the boys leading to a brouhaha in the town.
As at the time of filling this report, it is reported that the matter has been worsened even as intensive security meeting is ongoing now at the Obalende Divisional Police station, Ijebu Ode over the matter.
An eyewitness at the scene said: "when Kashamu came to Ijebu Ode for his campaign, he gave them some money and while sharing the money, it was alleged that the Eiye group who claimed to be the mastermind of the money said they must get the large sum while the Aiye group opposed the idea.
"The money was later shared but it ended in a threat war. Sometimes last week, at a naming ceremony of one of them at Adefisan area of Ijebu ode, the Aiye group killed one boy identified as Abass and last night also another Eiye member known as Sunday was killed at Oju ega area, near the Olabisi Onabanjo market, Ita Osu in Ijebu ode.
"Now they have started counting again and if care is not taken, the matter may be worst than what has been happening in the past because we are now in the election period and you would agree with me that most of these boys are thugs of some of these politicians. I want to call on the governor and other security agencies to hurriedly do something about the matter," the eyewitness said.
Confirming the incident to PM News this morning, the Ijebu Zonal Commandant of the Ogun State Vigilante Service, Mr Marcus Ayankoya disclosed that the matter has been reported at their office and they have forwarded the details to the police headquarters at Igbeba for further action.
Ayankoya said the boys have been terrorising the area in the last few weeks, saying his men and officers from all the six local government areas that comprises the Ijebu zone gave assurance of their readiness to tackle them.
He also disclosed that another boy was killed early this morning at Imaweje town in Odogbolu local government area of the State.
Ayankoya said the corpse has been deposited at the mortuary of the General hospital, Omo-Owo, Ijebu Ode.
Information gathered was that the boy was a member of the Aiye group.
One of the security officials confirmed that the police and the Vigilante Service will from today begin daily joint patrol across Ijebuland to flush out bad eggs from their society.
The source disclosed that the security report at their disposal as revealed that all the black spots in the areas will be flushed during the joint patrol exercise.

President Jonathan To Exposed Obasanjo's Outrageous Demands
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Reports have started to gather steam that the current President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is planning on exposing the personal demands of one time Head of State's of Nigeria.
Guardian publication reveals that the face- off between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan may not be far from over as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said that the latter would soon disclose all alleged personal demands of the former that he had turned down since 2011 that might have fuelled the lingering animosity.
PDP declared that its leadership would decide on whether or not to sanction Obasanjo over allegation of anti-party activities.
Addressing a news conference in Abuja yesterday, the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani- Kayode, described Obasanjo's allegation that Jonathan was planning to perpetuate himself in power unconstitutional as reckless and pointing that the allegations were assertions that were
"capable of derailing our democracy and creating chaos in the land.
"The truth is that he knows that Jonathan will win next month's presidential election and that is why he wants to destroy the credibility of the whole process right from the outset. What he is trying to say in his latest contribution is that if President Jonathan wins, then the election must have been rigged right from the outset. This is not only wrong but it is also unfair and uncharitable."
Fani-Kayode challenged Obasanjo to prove his weighty allegations by presenting them before the Council of State and take it up there.
On Obasanjo's allegation that Jonathan was playing out a script of perpetuating himself in power like former Cote d'Voire President Laurent Gbabo, Fani Kayode stated:
"Jonathan has re-affirmed his commitment to the democratic process over and over again and he has also said that the handover date of May 29 is sacrosanct. In view of these assurances, one wonders why Obasanjo is creating such a hue and cry over nothing. What has he seen that no one else can see? One wonders what his motives are. Does he have to rule every government by proxy? Must every leader take instructions from him? Is it a case of ''if I cannot control you and tell you what to do then you must go?''
"President Obasanjo spoke about President Gbagbo and he claimed that President Jonathan was attempting to do a Gbagbo in Nigeria. The question that must be put to him is this: 'Who got Gbagbo out?' Was it not Jonathan's government that played a key role in ensuring that democracy was fully established in the Ivory Coast and did he not play a key role in ensuring that the Gbagbo plan to ''stay in power forever plan'' did not work?
On Obasanjo's alleged demands from Jonathan, Fani-Kayode stated:
"After Jonathan came to power, Obasanjo not only tried to control and teleguide him, but he also asked him to do a number of things that were simply wrong and unacceptable. It is for Jonathan himself to divulge those things and I am sure that he will do so at the appropriate time. Needless to say Jonathan refused to be teleguided and told what to do even though at all times he showed Obasanjo maximum respect and accorded him all the privileges, access and courtesies that is due to a former Head of State and a father and mentor. This continued to be the case even after Obasanjo consistently attempted to undermine his government and ridicule his efforts.

Ahead Of General Elections, CDD Charges Against Violence In Kano, Kaduna
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Ahead of the 2015 general elections, the Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) is implementing projects in Kaduna and Kano States to promote violence-free elections and issue-based campaign in the States. Through multiplicity of voter education programming channelled at engaging diverse segments of Nigerians in Kano and Kaduna States, CDD has developed risk management strategies to guide against possible electoral violence that could emanate before, during and after the elections.
As noted by the Director of CDD, Idayat Hassan, "necessary steps should be taken by civil society organizations to complement efforts of the government to avert potential causes of electoral violence in the 2015 general elections." She explained that the 2015 general elections should be taken serious by all stakeholders as political atmosphere is more tensed compared to the previous elections due to the emergence of strong opposition party, increased inter and intra-party crisis, seemingly intractable ethno-religious bigotry, pastoralists/farmers crisis, Boko Haram insurgence in the Northern states including Kano and Kaduna States.
To avert electoral violence in the coming elections, CDD is hosting #WearepeaceKaduna and #AkasaAFaiFai radio programmes in Kaduna and Kano States respectively. In addition, the Centre is broadcasting non-violence messages from opinion leaders and influencers in Kaduna State. The pledge is conducted in English, Hausa and Fulfube languages by leaders of political parties, religious, traditional, women and youth leaders – especially, Yan'daba, National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), elder statesmen, amongst others to encourage the youth, party supporters, and other perpetuators of violence against electoral violence in the Kano, Kaduna and other neighboring states.
In Kaduna, non-violence text messages campaign has also been initiated while in Kano, town hall meetings to complement the weekly radio voter education programme were held in Kano Central, North and South Senatorial Districts. The town hall meeting facilitated dialogue on key concerns of electoral violence, exposed voters to the guidelines and regulations for conducting 2015 general elections, and role youth and traditional leaders should play in strengthening democracy.
As a way of galvanizing the strength of the media, CDD would be setting-up a "Harmonized Election Day Broadcast" to address some major causes of electoral violence. The Election Day Broadcast is aimed at engaging, enlightening and educating the people of Kaduna State during the 2015 general elections. This is to address the problems of lack of timely information to citizenry, deliberate misinformation by political actors, lack of persuasive 'voices of reason' from credible opinion leaders, ethnic leaderships and religious institutions, lack of instant acknowledgement of electoral flaws and instant declaration of remedies by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), political partisanship by some media houses, etc.
The "Voter Education Project" in Kano State is funded by Canadian High Commission Nigeria, while the "Promoting Violence-Free Election" in Kaduna is sponsored by the Australian High Commission in Nigeria through Australian Aid.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo was expelled from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the party has said, countering his claim that he voluntarily resigned his membership.
Obasanjo had, at a meeting with members of the party from his Abeokuta north ward on Monday, torn his membersship card, saying he no longer wished to belong to any party.
But the state chapter of PDP has now issued a statement saying the former president was expelled for anti-party activities.
Obasanjo had, at a meeting with members of the party from his Abeokuta north ward on Monday, torn his membersship card, saying he no longer wished to belong to any party.
But the state chapter of PDP has now issued a statement saying the former president was expelled for anti-party activities.
While responding to the question posed to him by the Oladunjoye led team, Obasanjo said Nigeria belongs to all and must not be allowed to collapse. He said: “Where I am standing is that Nigeria belongs to everybody including babies. We must not allow anybody to destroy it wherever they come from, whatever they have, if they destroy it, it becomes our burden, to our children and incoming generation.” He said his new political party is the group that says “Nigeria must not be destroyed”, adding: “Those of you that are marketers must have observed that there’s inflation in the market. The bureau de change operators exchanged $1 to N150 sometime ago. Before you know it, it is going to be N250 to a $1. “What it means is that, what you’ve been buying for N150 will be bought for N250. This is not the kind of country we dreamed of. There’s no job, no employment and some people have started destroying Nigeria and I will never be in a party that will destroy Nigeria. “Perhaps, you don’t understand that it is because there’s Nigeria that is why PDP exists. Without Nigeria, there will be no PDP. What some of us should be concerned is how to make Nigeria stronger and make our economy witness growth. “They said they want to expel me from PDP… although I have not been told but I have my ears on ground. We’ve been trying to run away from a mad man but he pleads we wait for him at the other side of the river. “I have told you before that I became president on the platform of PDP. Once I leave PDP I will not join any party. I will only be a Nigerian. I am ready to work with anybody regardless of political affiliation. “Why would some people say they want to send me away. They don’t need to bother themselves. Here’s your membership card, take it.” He handed the card to Oladunjoye, who then tore it to pieces. Obasanjo continued: ”From today on, in the presence of all us and with your support I am not going to be in any political party in Nigeria. I am no more a politician but a statesman both internally and externally. “And on the day of election, whatever it takes the PVC must be obtained… you don’t need to be a politician before you get your PVC. On the day of election, you can vote for your choice, but I will vote for those who will repair Nigeria and not those who will destroy it.” Obasanjo had in the past said he would not leave the PDP, but he has been embroiled in a public face-off with Jonathan in the last two years. He resigned as the chairman of the board of trustees (BoT) after the party’s constitution was amended under late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua to allow anyone who was not a former president to be chairman. The existing rule then, introduced as Obasanjo was leaving power in 2007, was that only a former president elected on the platform of the party could be BoT chairman — automatically conferring the title on Obasanjo.

Kolo Toure has called time on his international career a week after helping Cote d'Ivoire win the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Liverpool defender, who turns 34 next month, converted a crucial penalty as Herve Renard's defeated Ghana 9-8 in a thrilling shootout in last Sunday's final.
Toure revealed in December that he planned to retire after the African showpiece and has now confirmed that he has played his last game for les Elephants, having amassed over 100 caps for his country.
"It is with great emotion that I inform you that it is time to say goodbye," Toure told TV channel RTI . "My goal was to win the Africa Cup of Nations and I must admit that it was a very difficult decision to make.
I do love my country and especially love football, but at some point, there comes a time to stop."
Toure made his international debut in 2000 and represented Cote d'Ivoire at three World Cups.

BBN Sports: This is killing without a gun
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
By MOSES ADEYEMI
Jovetic has hit out at Manuel Pellegrini after he was left out of Manchester City 's Champions League squad, insisting that the decision has
"killed" him.
The striker looked set to be offloaded in January following the €38 million arrival of Wilfried Bony from Swansea City, with Juventus
and several other Serie A clubs expressing an interest in signing him.
No deal materialised, however, and he was subsequently replaced by Bony in Pellegrini's squad for Europe's elite club competition – which has been restricted to just 21 players by Uefa as punishment for City breaching Financial Fair Play regulations.
The manager has killed me with this decision. I feel I deserve my place and other people have told me the same.
I am very disappointed, even now. I don't think it was a good decision – or the right decision.
Pellegrini insists Jovetic still has a future at the Etihad Stadium , but the 25-year-old claims he is currently assessing his future ahead of
the summer transfer window.

Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Three Fulani herdsmen have been arrested for alleged robbery in Sabo, Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Haruna Ibrahim, Usman Burani and Haruna Usman were arrested in Sabo after they allegedly robbed residents of Atoba Estate in Sabo.
The police alleged that the suspects were behind the attacks on commuters on Ayetoro Road in Yewa North and Igboora area.
It was gathered that the residents of the estate had placed the herdsmen under surveillance. When they were sighted around the neighbourhood, the residents alerted the police.
Police spokesman Olumuyiwa Adejobi said community leaders in Atoba Estate contacted the Divisional Police Officer, Gbenga Megbope, at the Ilupeju-Sabo Police Division, who led a team of anti-robbery operatives to arrest the suspects.
Adejobi said the herdsmen later led the police to their hideout in Igbo Olodumare forest on Igboora Road, where two others were apprehended.
Items recovered from them included cartridges, cutlasses, charms and dummy guns, among others.

Petroleum Minister, Diezani-Madueke's N40Million Gift Causes Crisis In Bayelsa PDP...chairman suspended
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Chairman of the Bayelsa State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, Col. Samuel Inokoba (retd.), has petitioned the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Mu'azu, to protest his suspension by the State Working Committee on allegations of misconduct and diversion of N40m campaign funds.
Inokoba, who was suspended last week, said in his February 13 protest letter to Mu'azu and the National Working Committee of the party, that the action of the Bayelsa PDP SWC was "null and void and of no effect."
The petition was written by Inukoba's lawyers, Timi Ambaiowei & Associates.
The party chairman in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by our correspondent in Abuja on Sunday, insisted that his suspension contravened section 59 (3) of the constitution of the PDP.
He said that since he was elected in 2012, his tenure should end in 2016.
The four-page petition read in part, "The most disturbing aspect of the manifestly curious suspension is that the masterminds, who are highly placed officials, both within the party and the Bayelsa State Government, know that at this critical time of general elections in the country the entire PDP in Bayelsa State needs to work together as one solidly united and indivisible entity to deliver the party in the elections."
Inokoba therefore appealed to Mu'azu and the NWC to "timeously invoke section 59 (3) of the PDP constitution and formally fold and declare that the purported suspension by the SWC is null and void and of no effect."
Inokoba had been suspended by the members of the Bayelsa PDP SWC Wednesday last week for alleged misconduct and diversion of N40m gift provided for the party in the state by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke.
It was learnt that the decision to suspend Inokoba was taken last Tuesday after deliberations by members of the State Executive Council.
Publicity Secretary of the PDP in the state, Mr. Osom Makebre, who confirmed the suspension, had declined to give further details.
He however explained that the decision of the SEC had been forwarded to the national leadership of the party for ratification.

Obasanjo Should Stop Playing God -PDP Lampoons
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has told former President Olusegun Obasanjo to stop playing God over his numerous criticisms of President Goodluck Jonathan.
The organsiation was reacting to the claim by Obasanjo that President Jonathan was planning to perpetuate himself in office.
Apart from this, the former President also accused Jonathan of planning to cause chaos if he lost the March 28 presidential election.
But the Director of Media and Publicity of the organsiation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, debunked the allegations, saying the former President under whom he served as Minister of Aviation and Special Assistant on Public Communication, was trying to play God.
Fani-Kayode, who spoke at a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday, accused his former boss of trying in vain to control President Jonathan.
He said the problem between the two members of the ruling party had nothing to do with Nigeria, and called on the former President to leave Nigeria out of the issues between him and the President.
He said, "The bottom line is this: President Obasanjo's grouse with President Jonathan is personal and it has nothing to do with Nigeria.
"He should leave Nigeria out of it and let us all be. If he has a personal score to settle with Jonathan he should not do so at the expense of the peace and stability of Nigeria.
"If he wants to stop Jonathan then let him attempt to do so through the democratic process and through the ballot box and not through foul and unconstitutional means.
"We said it before and we will say it again: gone are the days that any President can be tele-guided and controlled because we have all come of age.
"We continue to hold President Obasanjo in high esteem but his recent actions and utterances are beyond the pale. He has been unfair to Jonathan, to Nigeria and even to himself.
"Most importantly the days of intimidating others with his harsh words and overbearing influence are long over. Obasanjo is not God.
"Only God is God and He alone determines the fortunes of men and the destiny of nations."
Fani-Kayode said that after Jonathan came to power, Obasanjo did not only try to control and tele-guide the President, but he also asked him to do a number of things that he said were simply wrong and unacceptable.
Asked to tell Nigerians those issues, he refused. He merely said that the President would speak on the matter anytime he likes.

Obasanjo is a confusionist, he is no longer a statesman -Fayose Blasts
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described former President Olusegun Obasanjo as a confusionist who has lost his status as a statesman.
The governor according to Premium Times made these statements on Sunday, February 16 through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.
In his press release, Fayose likened Obasanjo to a cancer in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Nigeria that may never get cured in a lifetime.
He said Obasanjo was always looking for ways to pull a house down when he is not the one controlling it.
"Obasanjo has always benefitted from the misfortune of others and he is living with the impression that he is the wisest person in the whole world.
"In 1993, he said the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, late Chief MKO Abiola was not the Messiah Nigeria needed. Instead of Obasanjo to join the clamour for the actualisation of Abiola's mandate, Obasanjo was canvassing for an Interim National Government, which he was scheming to head.
"MKO Abiola died in detention in 1997 and Obasanjo became the beneficiary of his (Abiola) death.
"Despite the fact that it was the blood of MKO Abiola that Obasanjo matched on to power, not even a street was named after Abiola throughout Obasanjo's eight years as president.
"Today, Obasanjo is fighting President Jonathan, the man who has done what he failed to do for Abiola, the Yoruba people and Nigerians as a whole when he was president for eight years, simply because he does not want anyone to equal his record as Nigeria's longest serving president.
"However, I have this bad news for Obasanjo. Nigeria is not his football that he can kick around as he likes. President Jonathan will be re-elected, and Nigeria will be freed from his (Obasanjo) bondage once and for all."
The governor, who expressed confidence that President Goodluck Jonathan will be re-elected for a second term, added that Obasanjo is against President Jonathan because the president doesn't allow Obasanjo control him.
