<span style="font-size: x-small;">Read his piece below....</span><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">When 15 million plus Nigerians voted for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 General elections, their expectation was that he would be available to serve them 24/7/365, and that those who fielded him as their candidate had done their home work to avoid what is curiously becoming the Katsina problem in Nigerian politics. Katsina! </span><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></blockquote>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">But we have now found ourselves in a situation whereby our President is now in London, for more than one month sir, ma, and we are here, and we have an acting President, who according to everybody, including the extremists and the mischievous, and the politically partisan, is beginning to try his best, with his admirers, now praying for the worst. </span><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <span lang="EN-US"> For that reason alone, we have an emotionally, politically and spiritually divided country on our hands. Don’t mind what they tell you, and don’t deceive yourself, the Nigerian Presidency is in turmoil. It is not our wish. It is not what the voters asked for. But that is how democracy works. You cannot predict the results that democracy produces. Not even in America. Or Russia. </span></span></span><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> Now that we have found ourselves in this situation, anyway - an absentee President trying to remain relevant and an acting President struggling to put up appearances, and struggling harder not to be seen to be ambitious (sorry, Prof. I was your student but I have something to say sir, I don’t mean any harm – truth be told), where should the Nigerian people stand? For the past one month, we have all been trapped in a post-truth situation, pretending as if all is normal. We should stop pretending.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> Those who supported and are supporting the APC that brought President Muhammadu Buhari to power and office cannot talk. They cannot talk due to embarrassment and shame. They are busy putting up a face. But for how long can they do this? The Nigerian media is also on its knees, looking so pitiable, with the exception of a few blogs, newspapers that we can’t even trust, professional media consultants who are in disarray, a few bloggers and then some gentlemen: Pa Ikhide, Farooq Kperogi, Sonala Olumhense, Omoyele Sowore, Pius Adesanmi and Okey Ndibe who have since been specially illuminated as they journeyed to Damascus.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> I will return to this subject some other day. But I think right now, we should begin to take the subject of the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari more seriously. Bukola Saraki, our Senate President has visited him in London, twice, <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_267564044" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">within two weeks</span></span>. I don’t think we should leave this business of visiting the President to party chieftains, the executive and the Federal Legislature. If care is not taken, Senator Saraki may be tempted to visit the President again next week. And the week after and he may even be tempted to travel with all the members of the National Assembly. There must be equity in this matter.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> Figure it out as follows: we all know that President Buhari is now in London and he is the man Nigerians chose as their President in 2015. We cannot forsake him. He is in London on working leave, for more than one month now, and we don’t know when that leave will end. We have been told it will end soon. Later. One day. Whenever. We are not God. Let the leave end when it will. But we, the people, have a duty to stand by our President. This is the point of this article. We are Africans. We have traditions. We respect elders. We don’t joke with old age. The time has come, right now, for Nigerians to behave like Africans.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> We should therefore, not leave this business of visiting to Senator Busola Saraki alone. Party chieftains have visited Mr. President. The leadership of the National Assembly has also gone to London to be part of President Buhari’s working leave. I think Vice-President-Acting-Presiden<wbr></wbr>t Yemi Osinabjo should also visit his boss, this week, next week, or ASAP. Henceforth, he should be in London at least once a week. Let us stop pretending that the President is not in charge. He is. If Aso Villa is now in London, let us make it work. The Acting President and the real President need quality face time. If the acting President must go to London everyday, let him do so, but don’t let us run Nigeria by telephone or DHL Am I making sense? I am not talking about common sense. I mean real sense. So, do I make any sense at all?</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> After the Acting President’s visit, all former Presidents should also start going to London to see the President. Those former Presidents are not as harmless as they pretend to be. They are projected to the public as advisers but they are more than that: they all left something in Aso Villa that makes them eternally powerful. It is like leaving your DNA in a woman’s body. They should be allowed or perhaps encouraged to visit President Buhari while he is on working leave. I think our Baba in Abeokuta, Ota and Ibogun should be the first to visit. That may negate the order of seniority, but trust the Ebora Owu to return from London with front-page news! After him, the others can start visiting and probably advise on the possibility of holding a Council of State meeting in London. As it were, the Nigerian Constitution does not insist that the Council of State Meeting must be held inside Nigeria. The main subject of that first historic, diaspora, Council of State Meeting should be phrased by OBJ in his own unique way: “Momodu: are you well or sick?”</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> There is something called the separation of powers. I don’t want to disrespect mi’lords but I think they too should go to London. The National Judicial Council (NJC) should put together a high-powered delegation of judges from every part of the country, from all divisions, and level, to proceed post-haste to London to visit, no, to confer with President Buhari on matters of judicial interest to the nation. But Sirs, don’t go there and talk about the welfare of judges, or the non-payment of your entitlements - if you try that, well, I won’t be in a position to tell you what awaits you on your return. You know mi’lords, as well as I do, that the law in Nigeria is now being made to look truly like an ass!</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> After the judges, okay may be the Nigerian Bar Association should also send a delegation, but I don’t trust many of our lawyers. They think they know the law, and they could go to London and say things that will disrupt the President’s working leave. To make that impossible, members of the NBA should be booked on an Arik flight to London, please. But if they get there, fine. The next delegation should be that of Permanent Secretaries. These ones should spend more than a week in London with the President. In fact, they can stay with him till he returns. If they also have medical issues, they should use the opportunity to ask for tests, with the condition that they must return immediately the President leaves London, notwithstanding the status of their own medical tests!</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> Once the Permanent Secretaries have been fully accommodated in London, the Ministers, those who were once dismissed by their own employer as “noise-makers”, and who have proven to be no better, should also visit London. They can go ahead and make as much noise as they wish in London and even enjoy the benefit of a full Federal Executive Council Meeting. I suspect that this will be a particularly productive FEC meeting. If the people in the Foreign Affairs Ministry know what they are doing, however, they would arrange ahead of that meeting in London, a special meeting with Theresa May, Prime Minister of Great Britain, followed by a dinner with Her Majesty the Queen of England, with a proviso, please, please, please, that nobody should bring up the issue of Biafra or Southern Kaduna after shaking the Queen’s hand, and there should be a strict guarantee that President Buhari will be accompanied by his extremely beautiful wife, Aisha, and he will not, meeting the Queen, no matter how excited, make the mistake of referring to “za oza room”. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> Stop laughing, my friend; this is how you people cause problems for innocent writers. What I am now trying to add having made all these points above, is that the Governors’ Forum should also visit President Buhari in London. The Governors have already signified their intention to do so and that seems to be fine with the Nigerian public. The Governors should therefore appoint representatives who should proceed to London. When they meet with the President, they should hold a special prayer session with three prayer points: one, that President Buhari will not work for another person to come and eat; two: that the demons of Aso Rock will spare and forgive him and his family; three: that President Buhari will return to Nigeria with his two feet. The Governor to lead the prayer should be Peter Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> If he starts sounding as he has been sounding in recent times, Nasir el-Rufai should be asked to take the microphone from him. And if Nasir sounds like he is playing politics, as he has been doing, Adams Oshiomhole who will like to be there anyway, as a Governor ex-officio, should be given the microphone and asked to pray for the President as best as he can or as best as Trotsky could.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> I have left out some people. In the past month, some Imams and ulamas and concerned relatives have been reported in the media, holding prayer sessions for a hale and hearty President who is just in London to enjoy the weather and do some quality check-ups, private and public. These prayer warriors have prayed and prayed in Abuja, Daura, Borno and everywhere else. The matter is so serious that nobody should be surprised if Rochas Okorocha or James Ibori organizes a prayer session for Muhammadu Buhari. This is the biggest business in Nigeria at this moment. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> I think, therefore, that we should also encourage the ulamas and the imams to visit. Let them go to London and pray for their President. We have been told they have been sending prayers through skype, whatsapp and the air, the same channels that GSM service providers in Nigeria now want to block. Let the imams go to London then and let the verses of the Holy Quoran rain down. It will be unfair not to allow Christian leaders to go to London too. They are also anxious to go to London. Pastor Tunde Bakare, my beloved, secondary school senior should lead that team. His job should be to screen out any Pastor with Biafra, or Southern Kaduna or pro-PDP blood in him or her. I mean Pastors like Reno Omokri, Ebun Adegboruwa…. you get what I am saying? The prayer should be commissioned!</span></span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="EN-US"> Traditional rulers, bloggers, public intellectuals, trolls, and journalists! Oh, I almost forgot. I think we should also be invited to London to have tea with the President. I volunteer to lead that team but if I am considered unpopular, since they say I am not one of them, let @ikhide, @akaebube, or @dejiadeyanju, @realFFK, or @YeleSowore, be the team leader. But please, make sure we have on that list, @lindaikeji, @SDimokoKORKUS, @emepretty1, @bellanaija, @omojuwa, @ChiomaChuka, @AbangMercy, @toyeenb, @MrStanleyNwabia and… and… My friend, STFU! I am not planning a special episode of #bbnaija. I just want to go to London and see …my President.</span></span></span></div>

Comedian, Seyi Law has responded to Pastor Mike Winning who cursed the organizers of Big Brother Naija reality show yesterday. He advised him to organize a christian reality show and give his followers money that will change their life. He wrote;<br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
"What a joke of a Pastor. Did Jesus lay curses on those who turned His Father's house to a market place of all sorts or He just rebuked them. Some of all these people who call themselves Pastors actually think they are God o. Oga Ade, go and have a rethink abeg and ask God for forgiveness. I am not in support of the immoral acts in Big Brother Naija, but as a Christian when the devil brings darkness, you shine your light. If you don't like what they protray, change your channel. Pastor, please organise your own Big Christ House and give money that will change the followers of Christ's lives and see if men and your father in heaven won't praise you. Pastor talking like Nigeria Government, why is Big Brother Naija been held in SA when they have refused to create an enabling environment to allow businesses to thrive. You curse kor you close ni. Long Hisssssssssss. These types of prayer are for your closet not public, Mr. Pastor. Praying their resources should run dry. Ah ah, Pastor, do you know how many are on the employment list of Payporte and Dufil, the makers of Indomie? You are a wicked man. Pray a better abeg."</blockquote>

<br />"I was not fast asleep. But I was hearing the first set of gentle knocks on my door in my dreams. Kpam Kpam Kpam Kpam, Daniel o...repeatedly. Later I would deem whoever was knocking that way as unserious. How could such knocks wake me up? But I have just slept off an hour before then. So I was woken up immediately the knock got louder. I rushed out, hearing the cries for help. She was already in labour---my neighbour. My God! I saw the baby's head pushing itself out of my neighbour's privates. She was fast losing blood, as they kept flowing uncontrollably. As if that was not enough a strange sight for me, I saw that white, long thing they call umbilical cord. Damn it! That was actually when the baby had completely come out. Chai. Poor child. Crying. We didn't know what to do. I was clueless. Her friend---a young lady---was clueless too. There was no other neighbour available. And it was already <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_267564041" tabindex="0">01:05 am</span>. But that my neighbour, ba? She was a strong woman. She kept reassuring her panic-stricken friend to stop shouting, re affirming that she'd be fine. She was even the one that suggested we go to a nearby hospital. Olodo like me, I couldn't even think of any meaningful thing to do. My head was full. But she was strong. We carried her down to my car, carrying the baby alongside, careful not to draw the umbilical cord too apart from her. Chai. Blood. She lost a lot of blood. I gently drove us to a nearby hospital. The staff responded quickly. The cord was cut while she was still in the car. The baby survived. The mother survived too. I went back home later and got them some clothes, and tea, milk, bread and hot water for the mother.<br /><br />This is what I call miracle. Not turning water into wine. In this part of the world, we say "Thank God" for even things we can do ourselves. So for the first time in my life, I'll do this, because I am overwhelmed:<br />Thank God for my neighbour's strong resolve in the face of hysteria;<br />Thank God for the mechanic guy that didn't tell me stories yesterday, but promptly worked on the car's fan belt, making the car available;<br />Thank God for the staff of Divine Mercy Hospital and Maternity, Orba road, Nsukka, especially the gate man, for their immediate response to our call for help;<br />And finally, thank God for giving us humans all that we need to survive the pestilence and pains He also created on earth, for surely He created all things. Amen!<br /><br />I learnt a few things:<br />1. A pregnant woman shouldn't be left alone. I used to say I'd run out of home when my wife gets heavy, to avoid a pregnant woman's wahala. Dear future wife, I have changed my mind. I now understand what you women go through. I'll be there, through it all. No business trips. No conferences or seminar. In fact no work for me. I'll be there. We will do it together. After all, we had sex together (whatever that means).<br />2. I think one should always have fuel in one's car. Anything can happen any time. And no petrol station might be available at that time.<br />3. Do not overlook the importance of neighbourliness. And if your neighbour is one who hardly responds to knocks on his/her door (like my former useless neighbour), declare such a neighbour as useless to humanity.<br />Finally, women, please accept the assurances of my ernest respect for your natural abilities. Truly, there's more to your privates than just sexual activity.<br />PS: the head nurse said I'd make a good father, because of the way I was in charge. Is that true? I mean, why not? </div>

Senator Ndume, a member of the Presidential Committee on Northeast Initiative (PCNI), made the observation after the PCNI visited the Borno State Deputy Governor, Usman Durkwa.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
The group’s visit was to declare its donation of food items which were offloaded at the warehouse of the National Emergency Management Agency in Maiduguri.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
“I want to use this opportunity to thank the international community; and I have said this even on the floor of the National Assembly that the contribution of the international community and its commitment to the humanitarian crisis we have in the northeast is more than that of the government.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
“We are now calling on the government using this medium to at least take the lead or match what the international communities do,” Ndume said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
The senator noted further that foreign aid and commitment to the plight of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have continued to dwarf government’s effort over the years.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
“So far the humanitarian response plan under what we call UNOCHA is budgeting $1.05 billion for 2017 (and) if you turn that into Naira, it translates into over 300 billion Naira.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
“As at December last year, $449 million was donated by the international community; that also represents about 130 billion Naira.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
“Unfortunately last year, the Nigerian Government budgeted only 12 billion Naira. In this year’s budget, it budgeted only 45 billion Naira (and) that also is grossly inadequate.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
“So we ask the Borno State government to join us and other members of the National Assembly that are crying out to the government and to the leadership of the National Assembly to increase the budget for the intervention in the northeast from a paltry 45 billion Naira to at least 108; that is our call.” Senator Ndume stated.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
Mr Durkwa, on his part, thanked the PCNI for the food donations which he said would go a long way in complementing the feeding of the IDPs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
He, however, urged donors to consider providing building materials in subsequent interventions to speed up the resettling process of the displaced persons.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
“We say we are grateful and we ask for more. Now that we are in the post-insurgency stage, it’s time to now carry out constructions and resettle our people back to their base.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
The order was sequel to an ex parte application by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), seeking an interim forfeiture of the recovered money to the Federal Government.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
A statement issued on Tuesday by the EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, disclosed that the ex parte application was moved by the counsel for the applicant, Salihu Sani.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
In her ruling, Justice Zainab Abubakar held that “the sum of $9,772,000 (Nine Million, Seven Hundred and Seventy Two Thousand United States Dollars) and £74,000 (Seventy Four Thousand Pound Sterling), which are now in the custody of the applicant (EFCC), are in the interim forfeited to the Federal Government of Nigeria”.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
The EFCC said that some its operatives on February 3, 2017, stormed a building belonging to the former NNPC boss and recovered a staggering sum of $9,772,000 and £74,000 stashed in a huge fire proof safe.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
The commission added that Mr Yakubu reported to its Kano Zonal Office on February 8, 2017 where he admitted being the owner of both the house and the money recovered.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #606263; font-size: 18.7px; line-height: 30.8px; margin-bottom: 16.5px;">
The EFCC said “Yakubu is still in custody assisting the investigation”.</div>

The order prohibits the display of adverts on electronic and print media that reference Valentine's Day, bans the sale of associated merchandise and states that the day cannot be celebrated in "any public space or government building."</div>

The court has requested Pakistan's Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to monitor these platforms and share any information that shows that the ban has been compromised.</div>

The court's order came after a petition was submitted by a citizen called Abdul Waheed -- who claimed that ongoing promotions of Valentine's Day were "against the teachings of Islam and should be banned immediately."</div>
<div class="zn-body__read-all" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">
<div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-right: 0px;">
In Pakistan, Valentine's Day is seen by some as amoral and an appropriation of Western culture.</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-right: 0px;">
Resistance against it is not completely unusual. Religious groups like the Islamic political party jamat e Islami have often protested against marking Valentine's Day in the country and hold rallies annually against the celebration on February 14.</div>
<div class="zn-body__paragraph" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.2rem; line-height: 1.66667; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-right: 0px;">
In 2016, the local government in the city of Peshawar in the country's northern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhua also banned celebrations.</div>

The country's president Mamnoon Hussain, made a statement in February 2016, asking Pakistan's not to celebrate the day since it was "not a part of Muslim tradition, but of the West."</div>

The Islamabad High Court's decision has also divided social media users, with some tweeting for the ban and others vehemently against it.</div>

The noticeable bump in the photo has got people speculating that billionaire daughter, Rukaiyat Indimi- Dantata is pregnant with her second child. Of course, it could be too much food seeing that the photo was taken at her younger brother's wedding...</div>

A Federal High court sitting in Lagos has adjourned to March 6th the suit filed by former first lady, Patience Jonathan, seeking an order from the court for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC to unfreeze the accounts of four companies linked to her that had been indicted in a money laundering case.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The former First lady had filed the suit against the antigraft agency after it froze the accounts of four companies, namely Pluto Property and Investment Company Limited; Seagate Property Development and Investment Company Limited; Trans Ocean Property and Investment Company Limited; and Globus Integrated Service Limited, that were linked to her.<br /><br />The companies had on September 15th, pleaded guilty to laundering $15,591,700 when they were arraigned. Patience Jonathan later came out to claim ownership of the accounts but denied claims that they were used to launder money.<br /><br />The presiding judge adjourned the case to March 6th after counsel to some of the indicted companies, asked for more time to understudy the case. At the hearing of the $15 million suit today, some women group stormed the court premises to show their solidarity to her.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
