No more lonely, cold nights…As top politician, Timi Alaibe, falls in love with a German woman…

The Capital NG>>>  It is often said, “A man marries to please his parents, a widower to please himself.” Ask Timi Alaibe, the former Managing Director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), he knows.

In 2009, he lost his dark and dazzling wife, Alaere Alaibe, to cancer. He was inconsolable. She was the support beam in the overall architecture of his life which made those around him think he would collapse. But providence offered him a supportive shoulder to cry on. And this he did without restraint. He loved his wife dearly.

$40b down the drain in Niger Delta – Kachikwu

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu yesterday told Niger Delta Coastal State monarchs and stakeholders that there was no infrastructure in the creek to show for the $40 billion released to the Niger Delta in the last 10 years.

He told the monarchs who visited him in Abuja that he (the minister) went round the creeks and found no infrastructure that reflects the money disbursed to the region through the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) or the 13 per cent derivation from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC).
