Goniri said his committee would liaise with the school’s authority to ascer-

tain the number of missing persons, and also meet with their parents. He said that the committee would assess the extent of damage and advise government on areas of assistance.

head of 2015 general elections, and mindful of the violence that followed the outcome of the 2011 presidential election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is set to review the insurance cover of its ad hoc future elections in the country. Speaking exclusively with Saturday Newswatch yesterday, Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, said in addition to the insurance cover provided the ad hoc %&'' included members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), the Commission provided amounts equal to the premium by the insurance " # *+/ also planning to review the cover before the 2015 general elections. The Commission also

Elections in Adamawa, Borno,Yobe still uncertain reiterated that elections may not hold in the three troubled states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, if there is escalation of violence as a result of the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents in that part of the country. On the implication of the Commission disenfranchising a section of the Nigerian electorate going by the statement credited to Prof. Jega that states under emergency rule may not participate in the general elections, Kayode insisted: “What the chairman said is that, we hope that the challenge in that area of the country will have been addressed before 2015; and that is still the position of the Commission,� he said. The review of the insurance cover, according to INEC, is to guard against, and forestall the peculiar challenges of the

2011 post-election violence; even as the Commission stated that it is not anticipating a recurrence of the 2011 scenario. “The Commission has designed means to protect NYSC members much more than 2011. For instance, since 2011, security agents are posted at NYSC lodges across the country; that did not happen in 2011. Besides that, security agents accompany them while they go from one point to the other doing their jobs. Security agents are stationed before, during and after elections at their lodges, as pre-emptive measures,� Idowu said. The INEC spokesman added: “When the operational order of 2011 was being planned, nobody thought of post-election violence; the post-election violence took everybody

unawares. But since the 2011 event, security agencies have been making plans for postelection scenarios, unlike what happened in 2011.� He was, however, not categorical on how INEC would quantify the review of the insurance cover, but added: “In 2011, a certain premium was paid. For instance, the premium was determined as if they were

Nasarawa crisis: 534 persons killed, N2b property destroyed Daniel Gbabo,

T

he Justice Joseph Gbadeyan Commissioner of Inquiry into the killing of security personnel yesterday revealed that 534 persons including policemen and operatives of the Department of State Security Services were killed in the crises. It also said 40 persons sustained various degrees of injuries in the crises across the state, while properties estimated at over N2billion were reportedly destroyed. The Legal Adviser to the Ombatse group, Barr. Zachariah Allumaga, disclosed that Governor Tanko Al-Makura, the Commission, has no locus standi to receive the report of the commission.

According to Gbadeyan, % & mission, it is pertinent to inform His Excellency that 534 persons, including members of the Nigerian police and the Department of State Services were killed in the crisis. How ' 143 individuals allegedly killed for which no formal evidence was availed the Commission.� Gbadeyan stressed that the Commission received about 22 memoranda from individuals, groups and communities, as well as security agencies in the state based on the terms of reference. However, he also disclosed that seven of the memoranda communities who voluntarily withdrew their participation from the activities of the Com-

mission. Contrary to claims by the government that activities of the Ombatse group were proscribed before the May 7 incident last year in Alakio village, Allumaga said he only heard of the proscription at the Commission. He alleged that the governor was a member hence the cash donations he allegedly made to the group and the usual representation sent during meetings. “Institutions are hardly exonerated and I feel personally intimidated. So it boils down to the fact that the governor is not ready to dialogue, for us to have a lasting peace, but dialogue is what we are preaching,� Allumaga said. The former magistrate further said that they have a video

footage of the cash donation as well as the promises the governor made to the group through one of his permanent secretaries, and cannot turn his back on them. He argued that if the governor claimed to have proscribed the group, why did he set up the Commission of Inquiry, as doing so, he said, amounted to “double jeopardy� under the law. However, Governor AlMakura declared that no stone would be left unturned as all those found guilty would be brought to book when a white paper would be issued by the government. The governor regretted that the actions of the militia has disrupted the hitherto unity among the various communities in the state.

damawa State chairman of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Comrade Dauda Maina, has disclosed that the union has commenced distribution of lap tops on loan to teachers in the state, even as some are reported to beer with the proceeds. However, the state’s Commissioner for Education, Gabriel Hama Adama, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch, said that the state government will subsidize the price of the computers purchased on loan by his teachers. He explained that the computers distributed are special ones with many inbuilt soft ware, stressing that the idea of mandating the teachers to purchase it is to meet up with JAMB directive

which said that from next year, all its examinations will be conducted online. The commissioner, who

" of computers have been distributed in the midst of protest by some schools teachers, however, sent a warning signal to teachers that the Ministry of Education will monitor the use of the computers in order to meet up with the purpose it is designed for . According to him, “we learnt that some teachers have sold their computers and used the money realised to drink local beer ‘Buruku,’ while some even invested the money Âť development which will not be tolerated by the Ministry of Education.

He said the union would also organise ICT training for its members where those who acquire the laptops would be given priority. Maina said the loan was not compulsory, adding however, that the union was doing it best to persuade members to key into the programme because of its relevance to their profession. “This is an IT age where we need to be computer literate as teachers who are expected to impact the knowledge to othersâ€?, Maina said. He expressed concern over "

trying to sell their lap top at subsidized rate, and cautioned anyone with such intention to have a rethink.

Politics

My thoughts on National Confab, other issues – Great Ogboru Great Ovedje Ogboru needs no introduction in the Nigerian political terrain. He was the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP) governorship candidate in 2011 in Delta State. He spoke in this interview with Adewale Giwa, saying there should be no restriction of what should be discussed at the proposed national conference. He also believes that election tribunal must be

tussle. Excerpts:

Y

our party - the Democratic Peoples Party (DPP) - is no longer active. Are you planning to defect to another political party? Discussions, consultations and talks towards a merger are ongoing for now. We have always said that the DPP, as a political party will not ‘join’ another party. So if as we expect in no distant future, our party takes a decision, it will be to merge with some other political parties. Certainly, it is not going to be a question of defection as you put it. As a person, I cannot defect to another party. That will never happen. But your brother,Julius defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) last year. Is that not a setback for you? The issue of my brother Julius is not an $

# in the press. From our place, we have leaders and we have followers. We have families; we have friends and kinsmen. I am not so sure that his decision is popular – in the immediate community and in the wider community. To that extent, his moving to the PDP is not a blow. It is a question of choice. Having said that, I will conclude that it was an unpopular decision - when it was taken; how it was taken and the activities he continues to propagate. You were recently in Akure. Were you there to hold talks with the governor of Ondo State on the possibility of joining the Labour Party? We are looking at viable options or alternatives where the interest of Deltans in the DPP will be best protected. Yes, we are discussing with Labour Party. It is a good option, which we are looking at closely. What is your take on the proposed National Conference? It depends on those who are for or against the conference. Those who are against believe that nothing good will come out of it. They believe it will end up like an empty talkshop just like previous ones. My view on this issue is that, we have to talk. I am not so sure that the mood of the country today would permit a talkshop for the sake of it. I want to believe that whatever agenda is fashioned out, restricting the parameters of the conference

may not necessarily hold water because from the agitations so far, the ethnic nationalities, several stakeholders and eminent opinion leaders, the tendency is that people want to get to the root of the problems bedevilling this country from the time of its amalgamation till today. They believe that we have to do it in such a way that it ends up on the table of the people of this country. There is a consensus that the solutions to our present challenges are far beyond the existing political arrangement. That is to say, the outcome of the conference has to go beyond what we have today as a National Assembly. It has to go through a referendum of the people if we are truly sincere. That way, the people would have to decide their fate once and for all. And if we want to look at it very well, what do we # " Ăˆ " today, then there is no need for the conference. If there is a conference of this magnitude in the " # * Assembly in place, it shows that something is lacking, which is beyond the capacity of the National Assembly. If that is the case, it goes to the root cause of the national question: our ethnic nationalities. Who we are; where are we and how did we get to where we are today? That means the outcome of the conference cannot be restricted by the National Assembly which, with the very convocation of the conference, has been established as incapable of handling the fundamental issues. Therefore, the people must decide their future through a referendum. You are an Urhobo leader. Are you working with others to present a common view at the conference? I am not so sure when you say I am an Urhobo leader. Traditionally, we have leaders who we respect and defer to. We trust them to present a common view for our various ethnic nationalities in Delta State. In any case, that will be restricting my person to an ethnic nationality. I do not speak for an ethnic nationality. I represent the aspirations of all our people and speak about the Nigerian state as we have inherited it. We are looking for a solution to the so-called nationality question. Continued on Page 16

Uduaghan didn’t win Delta Guber poll – Great Ogboru Continued from Page 15

And that is what the national conference is all about. Do you subscribe to the idea that there must be ‘no-go’ areas at the conference? There should be nothing like ‘no-go’ areas. The notion of ‘no-go’ areas presupposes that there should be no conference at all. If there is a conference, the outcome cannot be pre-determined. I believe that some of the fears being nursed by some Nigerians are uncalled for. The fear of ‘no-go’ areas is to imagine that there are some persons coming to the table of brotherhood to ask for the country to disintegrate. That is not going to happen. I want to believe that 99 per cent of Nigerians believe in this country. They have lived together for the past 100 years under one nation called Nigeria. Therefore, they have acquired #Âť " Âť Âť vulnerabilities and inter-dependence in these 100 years. So the basis for discussing our unity – which was absent in 1914 – is actually here today. Therefore, South. Therefore, we have to look for a solution that will make us united even further. Having said that, the philosophical underpinning for that kind of union has to be consensually " $ are those areas we have found in the past that make it impossible Š Ăˆ Ăˆ How do we build a strong and Ăˆ much more are fundamental issues $ Sometimes, we just have misplaced fears.

Those are the things we have to discuss. Forget about the fears of disintegration. That is not going to happen. But we have to build a lasting legacy for generations to come. That is not right with the Lugardian treaty, and we have to correct it. And

then, the military constitution that we have talks about the “Nigerian people,� but they did not participate in its making! These are the issues that the conference has to talk about. Our experiences in living together for 100 years as one nation in spite of the imperfections show that we are a resilient people. But we cannot continue to live with mistakes we can correct. The fact that we have realised that we are mutually vulnerable and interdependent means that we are ready to look at the 100 years that we have lived together and the shortcomings so that we can have a workable direction and arrangement for the future - an arrangement that can

$ conference should be about - nothing short of it. How will you assess President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration? I will not be able to justify that President Goodluck Jonathan has not done well because against the backdrop of other political leaders, I can see that there is progress in his administration. The administration that came before this - that was the one of our father Chief Olusegun Obasanjo spent outrageous sums of monies on electricity and we got nothing. This one has taken pragmatic steps to ensure that that sector of our economy is privatised like we did in telecommunications. And I think that will yield dividends in no distant future. But as a humanist, I am more interested in the development of the resource portfolio of our country. I am more interested in the development of our leadership capacities and institutions. On this premise, I look at what this President did in 2011 by ensuring that 99 per cent of members of the National Assembly that we have today are freely and fairly elected, unlike in the past when 99 per cent of them were handpicked or selected. That, for me, is the most important achievement because it guarantees proper

What is happening in the National Assembly today did not and could not have happened at other times

when we had monologue National Assemblies where everything was ‘Yes.’ Whatever the master said must be obeyed. But the present National Assembly represents a diversity of the Nigerian people. It is a virile National Assembly. At the end of " $ have to give that credit to President Jonathan. Are you going to take another shot at the governorship of Delta State?

Âť show them what democracy is all about and make them understand that alternatives are important in a democracy and that we are an alternative. If you think we are right and proper, elect us. Until the people say they no longer want us, we will continue to stand there and wait for them to decide. How will you also assess the performance of the present governor of Delta State? I don’t assess illegality. I have maintained strongly that Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan was never elected governor of Delta State because he did not win the mandate of our people. If he has built castles or an Eldorado in the air, as far as I am concerned, he was never elected as the governor of Delta State.

t the beginning, it was like a dream when news started filtering into town that the protracted battle between Governor Idris Wada and the acclaimed winner of the January 9, 2011 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primaries, Alhaji Jibrin Isah Echocho, had been decided. The news said the Supreme Court had dismissed the case, thereby allowing the governor to retain his coveted seat. A day to the judgment, which was slated for February 21, there was tension in the state as both camps were busy laying claims to victory from the expected judgment. More pronounced was the body language of the opposition which clearly showed that there could be a change in the government of the state. Although in government circle, functionaries were seen attending to their files without any panic. On Friday, judgment day, hundreds of supporters of both sides left in a large convoy to Abuja. They were determined to be part of history; they were there to cheer up the litigants and litigators. In the rank of the supporters were two categories: the die-hard and those playing double roles. Some were in between, transmitting information from the government to the opposition and at the same time back to the government. This particular group assisted greatly in creating the trouble that nearly brought the government on its knees. The die-hard supporters were always at the drawing board; concocting the next line of action should the judgment go against their expectation. The judgment which lasted a few minutes brought to an end the prolonged legal tussle between the governor and Alhaji Echocho. While the embattled former executive director of

a bank, Alhaji Echocho, and his supporters were licking their wounds following the outcome of the judgment, Wada with the government team was in joyous mood. The governor who spent five days in Abuja was welcomed back to Lokoja in a grand style to a rosy reception. The journey started from Jamata Village before Murtala Muhammed Bridge in Koton-Karffi with a long and countless number of vehicles of government functionaries, traditional rulers and local government chairmen as well as ordinary men and wellwishers who were around to receive the governor back from Abuja. It took the convoy almost three hours to enter Lokoja, the state capital. The over-joyous supporters of the governor who were on both sides of road did not allow vehicles to speed as some were struggling to catch the attention of the governor. The governor who was later received formally by his deputy, Yomi Awoniyi, and a host of political office holders as well as top civil servants, averred that the development of the state must be the function of all and should be made a priority by every citizen of the state. He appealed to all aggrieved persons to put behind all forces militating against the development of the state and sheath their swords by joining hands with the government in ensuring that the dividends of democracy gets to the least stratum at the grassroots. The governor urged the people to remain calm and chart a course that would take Kogi State to the next level of development rather than engage in petty tantrum that would bring down the state. He advised all to work hard for the upliftment of the state. The state chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Hassan Salau, commended the people of the state for their solidarity with the governor, promising that the administration would continue to provide the needed democracy dividends to the citizenry. It would be recalled that Kogi State has been in the news following the legal squabbles that greeted the victory of the governor since the 2012 governorship election in the state.

Business & Economy Uncertain future of Nigerian youths as unemployment bites harder A recently published United Nations document has it that over 50 million Nigerian youths are jobless.

Saturday Newswatch that the labour body is piqued about the impending danger, as more and more Nigerians remain jobless for years, without any form of social security provided for them. The labour leader lamented that the societal changes that have occurred within ²ž

Otudeko "# # # unemployment rates have more than quadrupled in recent years, making not a few to conclude that the country has never had it so bad. NLC demands that economic growth must come with jobs,â€? the labour leader said. Several people that spoke to Saturday Newswatch were of the view that the unemployment situation in the country is a serious challenge. They also added that the turbulence in the education sector is worrisome, as it has literally grounded to a halt all activities that could lead the country to economic development. Most respondents appealed to students to embrace vocational and skill acquisition programmes while some others were of the view that the government and the country’s elites do not appreciate vocational education. One of the respondents asked Âź nation’s polytechnics on strike for over seven months. Where are the technical colleges? How many of our leaders have their children at the polytechnics, or technical colleges?â€? They also believed that that the National + ¸* +š established in late 80s to train the youths on how to be self reliant and self employed, was not well funded. In the same way, artisans are not motivated and given incentives by the country. The government, captains of industries and the elites must assist the youths to secure gainful employments as well as encourage them to embrace legal means of livelihood. This can only be achieved if the political and religious leaders desist from celebrating corrupt and criminally minded Nigerians, whose source of sudden wealth cannot be explained. The years ahead will show if the huge amount Nigerians moneybags and political Š children in foreign countries has a positive impact on the country’s economy.

Business & Economy Customs agents call for solution to gridlocks on port access roads

Borderless Alliance, panacea to regional business integration T The Borderless Alliance is a private sector-led advocacy platform formed three years ago to promote economic integration in the West African sub-region. The body is in the forefront of advocating the removal of barriers to trade and transport in the region. Recently, the group hosted its third annual regional conference in Lagos with the theme “Borderless 2014 Enabling Growth�. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

These challenges were the focal points as countries within the region established a Borderless Alliance Initiative to, among other things, promote movement of people, goods and services as well as reduce border delays for goods and the people. Declaring the conference open, President, Borderless Alliance, Mr. Ziad Hamoui, disclosed that the conference was staged in Lagos to discuss critical issues in trade and transport across the region. Hamoui stressed that his organisation is well positioned to become the leading advocacy platform in West Africa, through the promotion of economic integration and removal of barriers to trade and transport, adding that his organisation is a private sector initiative to encourage economic and transport integration in the region. He said: “The Borderless Alliance is well positioned to become the leading advocacy platform in West Africa, by promoting economic integration and removing the barriers to trade and transport. It is private sector-led, evidence-based and actiondriven.� Hamoui stressed that the group has # " and operational framework in the subregion. In his presentation, the Managing Director, Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIM), Mr. Robert Orya, said the conference is # # # " relevance of trade to global development, adding that empirical evidence has shown that unlike the developed regions of the world, West Africa, and indeed Africa has continued to lag behind. Orya lamented that Africa has continued to underperform its growth and development potentials, due to its low trade volumes, among other factors. The NEXIM bank boss lamented that despite Africa’s huge population, rich mineral endowments and other potentials, the continent’s contribution to global trade has been poor, accounting for only about 3.5 percent in 2012, according to the United Nations economic reports. According to him, although Africa accounts for about 15 percent of the global population and possesses very rich

agricultural and mineral endowments, its contribution to global trade has been poor, accounting for only about 3.5 percent to global trade according to United Nations 2012 report, as against Europe’s contribution of 35.6 percent, Asia’s 31.5 percent and North America’s 13.2 percent. The NEXIM boss lamented that inter regional trade in Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) currently stands at 12 percent, as against European Union’s 40 percent, 30 percent in the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA), and 25 percent for the South East Asian Nations (ASEAN). He added that the low trade performance in ECOWAS in particular, and Africa in general bears some correlation to the Africa development challenges, which and private sectors to remove some of the impediments to free trade and regional integration, towards creating a free, bigger # $ He listed impediments to trade in +/ # # barriers largely require the cooperation and strong political will among member countries of ECOWAS to bring about the needed results. Orya said, “It is in light of these that the borderless initiative, which was formed as a regional advocacy platform under a public private partnership, has become very important and relevant in fostering cross-country collaboration in concert with Economic Community of West Africa States (ECOWAS) and New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) with the objectives of

Aganga promoting regional integration and economic development within Africa.� In his remarks, the Director-General, Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Mr. Muda Yusuf, who was represented by Mr. Vicent Nwanna, said his members still º border posts, despite Borderless Alliance’s

$ Yusuf noted that ECOWAS political leaders have tried their best, but the problems militating against free movement of people and goods still persist, adding that businessmen are still being made to pay various charges at the border posts, and vehicles conveying goods across the borders still spend hours, if not days at some of the ECOWAS nations’ borders. The LCCI boss called on the Customs service, immigrations, security agencies, Standards Organisation of Nigeria and other agencies in the various countries to do all within their power to promote business integration in the West Africa sub-region. Saturday Newswatch investigations showed that Borderless Alliance was massively supported by United States Agency for International Development (USAID). It was also learnt that Borderless Alliance and USAID’s quest for free trade in ECOWAS would provide jobs for the youths of the region, increase commerce, promote good governance, and stimulate productivity in West Africa sub-region. It was also learnt that the essence of Borderless Alliance is the quest by its promoters to provide a collaborative forum for the private sector, to discuss how to

# only among West African states, but among West African businessmen who are able to trade with the rest of the world. Borderless Alliance was established in 2011 with support from USAID and West African governments. It is a private sector-led coalition to increase trade in West Africa, and # ¹ # Š that hold back economic growth in the subregion. It was learnt that membership of the body draws from a broad range of organisations involved in the various supply chains, including port authorities, freight forwarders, logistics operators, manufacturers, traders, farmers, and other sectors. The Borderless Alliance 2014 conference may have come and gone, but it is hoped that the governments, policy makers and security agencies of the West Africa sub-region would have the political will to tackle the challenges highlighted by the group at the conference. It is also hope that the new leadership that emerged at the end of the conference would ¹ $ The days and years ahead would prove if Borderless Alliance and USAID have boosted economic fortunes of West African sub-region or not. Time will tell if the day West Africa in particular and the Africa continent in general would be able to compete with other continents in contributing meaningfully to the global economic outputs would come.

he Association of Managing Directors of Licensed Customs Agents in Lagos has appealed to NPA to find solution to the persistent gridlocks on access roads to Lagos ports. Mr Lucky Amiwero, President of the association, made the appeal in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos. Amiwero claimed that the manmade gridlocks were capable of rubbishing the improved service delivery at the ports. “The traffic jam has impacted negatively on the entire port system because every aspect of a port complements the other. “It can cause loss of confidence in our port system, resulting to a massive diversion of vessels to other West African ports,� he said. Amiwero said that the problem should be addressed by stakeholders or the roads should be expanded. He said that there should be a more organised system to manage trucks waiting for clients as well as those searching for clients. According to him, stakeholders should address the issue of concentration of tank farms on the roads. Amiwero said that importers and agents were incurring additional cost for empty containers on trucks, while truck owners deliberately hiked fares on the routes due to the gridlocks,. He said that the meeting should also address the need for having holding bays for empty containers and trucks. Amiwero said that NPA could expand the roads from it levies at the ports based on the Port Act 38 of 1999.

Insecurity and continuation of regional trade pact Abiodun Awogbemi

T

he insecurity caused by the Islamic sect - Boko Haram - and other terror groups which have killed and maimed thousands of Nigerian and destroyed properties worth billions of naira over the years, is likely to jeopardise the existing trade pact Nigeria has with other sub regions of the African continent, especially its closest neighbours. It has been established that the sect gained entry into Nigeria as a result of the unrestricted movement at the borders, which is in line with the trade pact of the Protocol on Free Movement. It is noteworthy, however, that Nigeria has trade pacts with the following Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, CĂ´te d‘Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.

A trans border trader, Bade Ajala, in a chat with Saturday Newswatch, said overtime, there has been complains about the implementation of the Protocol on Free Movement of persons and goods which, according to him, is just an agreement on paper. According to him, the Federal Government has continued to work towards actualising its lofty economic objectives by signing several trade agreements such as the ECOWAS Protocol on Free Trade, the Protocol on Free Movement, the Protocol on Single Currency and the Protocol on the / +Âą ¸/+ š$ Ajala said that in spite of these agreements, Nigeria’s full economic integration with other sub-African countries is still a tall dream as the region is still divided along Anglophone and Francophone Š if not almost impossible for member #

Oil tankers: Death on D country’s highway Abiodun Awogbemi

T

he incidence of petroleum tanker accident has become a source of worry to stakeholders as it has claimed lots of lives and property worth billions of naira. Experts have itemised the causes of these

to put an end to most of the avoidable disasters. According to a tanker driver, Sule Adio, most accidents by tanker drivers are due to inexperience because most of the drivers lack the technical know-how of the present ° ¹ tokunbo trucks brought into the country. Most of us were trained on old trucks with " ¹ #

trucks has between 15 and 25 gears. Adio said some of the trucks has pin, especially the reverse gear, and if not properly handled, can spell doom on the highway. Also, the so called mechanics who call themselves engineers operate on try-by-error. As a result, any mistake or mishap caused by these untrained mechanics can always lead to loss of lives. Truck owners should encourage their drivers to keep to road safety regulations while transporting petroleum products across the length and breadth of the country in order to eliminate avoidable accidents. A member of Petroleum Tanker Drivers Association who spoke with Saturday Newswatch under anonymity, said that most of the accidents are caused by human errors, badly handled manoeuvres at bends or potholes, neglect in the maintenance of vehicles, lack of knowledge of vehicle system check, fatigue and inexperience. He said in most cases, truck owners who often times do not respond to complains of their drivers are to blame. Some of the truck owners encourage the driver to manage # a particular journey which might just be ill $ # " to release enough money for repairs and maintenance of the truck. “Some drivers are gullible, and will not use the funds provided for the required purpose, but rather divert it to unnecessary activities such as smoking and drinking, thereby losing consciousness while on the job. Most times again, rivalry and competition among drivers on the road do lead to fatal accidents.� He said these tankers transport petroleum products, such as gasoline, naphtha, gas oil, kerosene, and jet fuel, and are divided into: MR (medium range; 25,000–55,000 DWT), LR (large range; more than 55,000 DWT), and LRII (large range II; more than 80,000 DWT). A truck owner, Michael Giwa, said most of the accidents aside human errors are caused by engine and equipment failure and over dependence on tokunbo spare parts. “Even when you intend buying new parts, the mechanic and the driver thannew one. Imagine the price of tokunbo spare part is now higher than the new one. For example, a tokunbo turbo part is sold for N60, 000 while the new one is sold for N40, 000,’’ he said. He further lamented that some importers and manufacturers import or manufacture sub-standard products knowing full well that their deeds will lead to loss of lives. Some importers go to the extent of

informing the manufacturers abroad to reduce the quality of the product so that # " $ Âź beclouded our sense of reasoning in this country as we have killed and mortgaged $ Giwa said collisions are generally due to manoeuvring errors, especially in poor ½ Š areas like the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway. Accidents and collision are also often a result of manoeuvring errors, often made worse by high winds and bad weather. One of such accidents happened recently at the Inalende Road towards the Mokola Roundabout in Ibadan, Oyo state, when a truck driver lost control of the vehicle and fell on its side, spilling its 33,000 litres of petrol in the process. Another, no fewer than 15 people lost their lives, 11 vehicles and 60 shops burnt after a truck laden with 33,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit lost control and rammed into vehicles in the Kirikiri area of Lagos State. A stakeholder had accused the government of greed and insensitivity to the plight of the people as they know that all the road networks are bad, but because they do not ply the road, they feel unconcerned, and pay lip service to maintenance of these roads. He said, “Sometimes, road maintenance Âľ " companies which do not have the required

Nigerians, due to poverty and greed have caused the explosion of felled tanker. It is on record that people had been burnt to death, and many others injured when an overturned oil tanker, which people tried to siphon and exploded

tools and man power for the job, all because they wish to cut a percentage’’ Nigerians, due to poverty and greed have caused the explosion of felled tanker. It is on record that people had been burnt to death, and many others injured when an overturned oil tanker, which people tried to # " Âą $ “All these accidents show how unacceptably low our safety standards are, and how dangerous transportation of petroleum can be to both the driver and innocent people. The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) thinks that using seat belt and possession of driving license is the way out, but they have failed to inform the government that possession of driving license and basic training are not adequate to qualify someone to drive petroleum trucks. Chuks Wilson, a tanker driver said, “It is possible to safely transport petroleum products if due diligence is observed. Most petrol tanker accidents are caused by reckless drivers and the poor condition of tankers.â€? “Due to their size, weight and high centre of gravity, it is challenging for an inexperienced driver to manoeuvre a tanker when speeding or when the driver has failed to maintain a mandatory safe distance from other drivers,â€? Wilson added. Chisom Nweze said he would prefer that trucks be restricted from using the roads at peak hours. “I still feel insecure driving alongside these monster trucks. I would prefer it if they operate at night when the roads are not congested,â€? he said. / +Âą Š Consulting Firm Oil & Energy Services Limited, Jerry Maduka , said casualties would be greatly reduced if road regulatory agencies carried out nationwide public and road safety awareness campaigns to # ´ # siphon oil after a tanker had fallen. “It is good to target tanker drivers, but the public will also solve the problem after civic education is done on dangers of lingering around an overturned and petrol-leaking tanker, or the dangers of smoking nearby,â€? he said. ‘’Yes, there is need for training, but not the kangaroo training given or suggested by inexperienced road regulators like the Federal Road Safety Corps and Vehicle Š ¸ š experienced as continuous driving leads to perfection and experience. There are some people we looked down on and call illiterates who are more experienced. These are people that can give training and address drivers during seminars, though they may not have the ability to read from books, but they have a wealth of experience that spans several years.’’

r Dauda Abdullahi, the Permanent Secretary, Bauchi State Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, said on Thursday that harnessing the nation’s irrigation potential was the key to its food security. Abdullahi, who said this in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Š for the country to meet its food needs by depending on rainfall. He said that farmers who planted after " # # their plants are withering due to the lack of rains. ``This has been the trend for the past

# Âş agriculture sector. ``With climate change, everything is uncertain. We can no longer determine when the rain will commence and when it will cease. The only way out is irrigation. ``We really need to develop our irrigation system, if we intend to explore our agricultural potential,`` he told NAN. He said that embracing irrigation would improve the nation’s agricultural output and conveniently feed the country. Abdullahi said that Bauchi State had 182,000 hectares of land suitable for irrigation, adding that so far, only 15,000 of that land was being explored. ``If farmers do not adopt the use of irrigation systems, then the issue of food security will always remain a thorn in the ° $ ``Irrigation is the way to go. If we want to talk about serious agriculture, then farmers should embrace irrigation.â€? Abdullahi said that in a bid to encourage irrigation farming in the state, the Gov. Isa Yuguda led- administration was supporting farmer with subsidised inputs. ``The state is providing farmers with subsidised irrigation water pumps, fertiliser, seeds, agro-chemicals and farm machinery services as well as agricultural extension services.’’

prestigious Apapa Boat Club, Lagos. He spoke with AYODELE OLALERE on his upbringing, politics, business as well as the feud within the family.

H

ow did you feel receiving this award coming from the National Association of Niger Delta Students? You have no idea how I felt. I am so elated, happy and very proud. I am surprised that I am recognised and didn’t know I was being watched by people for what I was doing. I thank God and I am overwhelmed. It means that there is nothing that you do that people don’t notice. You might be doing it without the # # # everything you do is being noticed. The struggle started a long time ago. " was done was organised by me. That was when the quest for resource control began. It has been a long journey. The

" doing the right thing at the right time with the right people. I wish to continue. I can’t stop myself. My mother really inspired me; she was fantastic. I had the most blessed mother. She was the most wonderful person I have ever met. She looked after my father and made my father comfortable and brought us up in a humble manner. My mother used to say half bread is that is my philosophy. Zero plus zero is zero and I believe that if everybody take to that

worthwhile for him. I am a very lucky young man. I am very grateful to God. Why is it that somebody like you who have everything is interest of the masses? As I said, I started the struggle for resource control. We (South South)

own the wealth but we were not happy with how our people are being treated. We are not being treated rightly. We were busy giving everybody else our wealth. I don’t understand why we should be giving our wealth and money to the # # # in return. Was that why you contested the governorship of Delta State in 2007? I don’t want anything and that is why I wanted to be the governor. I wanted to be the governor because if I am the governor, I won’t allow you to steal. I don’t want to chop. Though, I want more (money), I will not take what is not mine and when I say I am going to do something, I am going to do it. Everybody should come down so that we can spread the wealth around. A lot of people knew that if I was in power, I will not let them to chop You mean they didn’t allow you to become governor because you wouldn’t allow them to steal? That was it and that was why they messed me up. Even without them, I am still doing what I am doing. Either I become governor or not, I still do what I do. You saw the students that came to give me the award; I didn’t even know they were watching me. I take care of people. I have a philanthropic school

Oscar Ibru

right now where my wife trains people every year on hotel and hospitality free. Whose money? The point I am making is that we are a philanthropic family and we love people. My mother was the most fantastic wife and my wife, an American woman, whom I have been married to since the past 29 years. We have been carrying on the tradition of my father and our mother. We want Urhobo people in particular to be comfortable. We own the oil; so why are they messing us around? That brings up the issue of the President Goodluck Jonathan’s ambition for a second term. Do you think he should be allowed to come back? I think the President will have to answer that himself because he has not declared that he is going for second term. He is my brother. I have never asked him for anything and I will not ask him for anything. This is because I am Ibru. If he eventually declares, will you support him? That is futuristic. Do you still have the ambition of contesting the governorship again? Not again. But your father was also denied the governorship in the 70s during former Governor Samuel Ogbemudia’s administration. Could it be a kind of political conspiracy against your family? No, it is not a personal thing. The problem was that everybody was saying ‘hahaha, na only them again’ (is everything meant for only the Ibrus). But what bad thing have we done to them? We are nice people and we love everybody. The character of the Ibrus generally is to be nice and do unto others what you want others to do unto you. I am the leader of that principle. How do you feel being the scion of the Ibru family? It is nasty and crazy; but it’s nice. When you look at how wealthy your family is, what is the feeling like for you

having everything money can buy at #˜ It wasn’t like that in the beginning. I was born in Somolu in a room and parlour apartment. It wasn’t rosy but at that time because I was very young, I didn’t know. The toilet of the house was built outside the building; so we had to go outside if we wanted to ease ourselves. My father and mother worked very hard and they gave us everything. There used to be somebody who later became Admiral Odukoya. He used to put me on his laps and carry me across the road. He used to call me Omirere. As a child, # kite with newspapers and nylon myself like every child at that time. So, I was like every other child in the neighbourhood. What does wealth mean to you? What is wealth is what you have seen # # # #

# "# their interest. I didn’t know them from anywhere. The strength of those students is about 101 million nationwide. I thank God and am very grateful to him. This is my life. There is quarrel among the Ibru children. What are you doing as the scion to bring them together? Have you not seen what I am doing? I am trying my best and I want everybody to be together but some people have been # $

Âş $ " wives; one or two have been stalling. It is a long story but in my own generation, my brothers only have one wife each. What is your regret in life in spite of your wealth as well as memorable events, both good and bad? I have no regrets. In my earlier days, I wasn’t a good student but I became a fantastic student later - a super student academically and sports-wise. Everybody was like ‘how did he manage?’ I am very handsome (laughed). But really, I have no regrets. I have been with God all my life. I pray every morning and evening. What is your philosophy of life? My philosophy is live and let’s lives. Mind yourself and be nice to other people. I am a friend of the people and I pray for my enemies and detractors. How did you meet your wife and how did you propose to her? I met my wife in America in the university. I looked down from the balcony and I saw this beautiful girl who was with another white girl. That day, I had my friend, Stanley, with me. I asked him which of the two girls he liked. He said he wanted the white one and I said ‘good, thank God. I want the same girl you want.â€? I sat down with her. For one year, she messed me about. Later I got her. You bought her gift? No, she wouldn’t have become my wife if I had bought her gifts. I spoke with her in English accent and she agreed. We dated for eight years before I married her. I called her phone number and asked her if she was ready for marriage. At that time, Nigerian girls were all over me in Nigeria but I later got her.

indigene, stressing that “it was being celebrated every year, but the OPC has transformed it with the number of people we witnessed in the last two days. I must say that we are surprised at the way those people took the festival as if it were their personal thing. I am not a fan of the OPC because of bad things people say about them. But I am impressed now, meaning they are truly working for the interest of the Yoruba.� The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Micheal Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo, who led other traditional rulers to the event held at the base of the Olumo Rock at Ikija, was no less impressed by the commitment shown by Adams and his followers. The elated monarch said the Egba people are equally appreciative of the improvement lately witnessed in the celebration of the Olumo Festival. He thus, showered praises on Adams and numerous lovers of culture who spared time to visit his domain for no reason other than the festival. His joy notwithstanding, Oba Gbadebo strongly cautioned the OPC

members against the backdrop of alleged overzealousness of some of them. The monarch, a retired colonel, urged them to operate within the limit " of the public as well as government’s trust. However, Ogun State Governor

Ibikunle Amosu, was conspicuously absent at the event, lending credence to the state government’s alleged Foundation. Although the governor’s absence did not deny the event its deserved place in the heart of tourists, it was believed that his presence alone would have made a lot of impact, especially in the morale of the sponsors. “The governor should have been $ in the last two years, and I know what I am talking about.

said. In his usual frank expression, Gani Adams tasked Governor to the Olumo Rock, with a view to creating an ambience of bliss suitable for relaxation around it. Adams said the rock is a money-spinning venture if properly managed. “By so doing, a lot of revenue will come the way of the government through tourism while the people will equally " $ Adams stressed that the idea of the festival is to create a platform to appease ancestors, and boost the morale of Yoruba people.

Although the governor’s absence did not deny the event its deserved place in the heart of tourists, it was believed that his presence alone would have made a lot of impact, especially in the morale of the sponsors

A society, he maintained, where due obeisance is paid to ancestors and where good morals form the fulcrum of its

existence, is bound to produce decent individuals. He also argued that though Yoruba people often use festivals of their ancestors to rediscover their cultural values and heritage. “We also take further steps to use such forum to uphold our social development because culture, all over the world, is a dynamic thing. This is why we must always spend quality time to consciously appraise our moral and cultural values with a view to sanitising our society. “It is our plan to establish a centre for research into the production of cultural works of arts. This will avail serious researchers the opportunity to dig into the history, language and other aspects of our $ Adams also commended Oba Gbadebo and his subjects for what he called their consistent support for the festival. He stated that the festival has become an important date in the calendar of his followers and Egba sons and daughters.

According to Adewusi, about N60 million would be invested in tourism development in the state, adding that some programmes had been packaged to showcase the natural endowments in the state during Easter. Programmes scheduled to hold between April 18 and 20 include a 20-kilometre mini bike race from River Oni to Arinta Waterfall, a 13-kilometre mini marathon from Arinta Waterfall to Erinjiyan and Ikogoso Warm Spring mountain race. Managing director, Ikogosi Warm Spring, Mr. Tolu Ajeyomi, also disclosed that the resort plays host to an average of 20,000 tourists monthly. Ajeyomi added that participants would be drawn to the programme from both within and outside the state. He said the winner of the race would receive a cash prize of N450, 000.

Business Interview NDLEA destroys Indian hemp farm in Ekiti

NIMAREX not genuine platform for growth of maritime sector – Nweke T As participants prepare for the forthcoming Nigerian Maritime Exhibition (NIMAREX) slated for March 10 to 12, President of the National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF), Chief Eugene Nweke, in this interview with MARCELL DIKE knocked the organisers while stressing other sundry issues. Excerpts:

S

ir, what is NIMAREX all about and what is your view on the planned event for next week? Right now, I can tell you categorically that NIMAREX is not contributing in a positive way to growth of the maritime sector. Although this is its third edition, it is nothing but a conduit pipe for some individuals to siphon government funds, by embarking on a “jamboreeâ€? that produces nothing tangible for the maritime sector at the end of the day. In fact, the organisation of the past editions which were usually bankrolled by the Ministry of Transport, Nigerian Ports Authority and the Nigerian maritime Administration and Safety Agency alongside others never produced any workable communiquĂŠ that could form a blueprint for the upward momentum or real positive growth in the maritime and shipping business in Nigeria. Apart from NIMAREX not living up to its billing, what other issues require government ˜ The issues are too numerous to mention within the timeframe of this discussion. During the panning of events for Nigeria’s Centenary / Š surprisingly excluded this all important sector from their plans, leading to a great deal of distress for maritime industry stakeholders, who did not see the incident as a mere oversight, but as

## # # # brought to the table for redress. These issues include the need for more local content support by the government, implementation of the Cabotage Act, and the enactment into law of the proposed Maritime Bill to give more leverage to local players, as against the current system, which favours foreign port concession holders. “If government wants to talk about 100 years of Nigeria’s existence, how come we’re not emphasizing the issue of creating National freights that would control a larger share of the market? We’re not even talking about vessel owners under the Indigenous Ship-owners Association of Nigeria (ISAN), whom the government has not # Cabotage administration. “At this moment, we are still lifting our crude oil on Freight on Board (FOB) basis, and when you consider the core of vessels controlling our territorial waters, you will see they all belong to

foreigners. And we’re still import-dependent on " $

#  $ $ the transportation infrastructure to aid maritime activities? Yes, that is another important issue to talk about because governments’ programme on initiating improvement in the national transport infrastructure is very important. We need to have

# the maritime sector to witness fast growth, there must be adequate integration of all multimodal transportation systems, so that cargo meant for import and export can be easily moved across the nation, either to or fro the ports. We must begin to make sure our ports are free of # $ and retrogress because of governmental policy inconsistency and neglect. Why are the roads to the ports so bad? Why are our power supply infrastructure still moribund, and the Information Technology System not good enough to allow for hitch-free transactions? We have moved from RAR (Risk Assessment Report) to PAAR (Pre-Arrival Assessment Report), and the Nigerian Customs Service is trying to adjust to its new role as inspection agents, after SGS, Cotechna and Global Scan Systems were dropped. Nigeria stands to lose volumes in maritime-related business and the revenues and jobs that come with it as activity is shifting from the country’s seaports to those of neighbouring Ghana, Togo, Benin and Cameroon on account of long delays in cargo clearance. Slow cargo-clearing processes, which result in high demurrage and storage charges, indeed leads to loss of business to nearby ports where the processes are faster, and therefore, more cost $ * #

# # manual procedures, due to this massive diversion of cargo from the country’s ports to other ports. Importers prefer to import through the ports that are user-friendly.

Slow cargoclearing processes, which result in high demurrage and storage charges, indeed leads to loss of business to nearby ports where the processes are faster, and therefore, more cost-effective. Nigeria needs to address all clearing bottlenecks

Nweke Recently, the Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents made a complaint regarding #  # # $ NAGAFF’s point of view? I could say the NCS is doing its best to tackle the challenges of taking over from the operators of inspection services. It’s not easy to switch from RAR to PAAR, and technology as they say needs to be handled with care, or you could have garbage in and garbage out. We don’t want

# # clearance. The delays were initially alarming during the early weeks after the destination inspection service providers handed over the responsibility to the Customs service. But improvements are being seen after the service allowed some waivers for importers, and gave freight forwarders a period of grace to move cargo with all the necessary paper works; this allowed a huge backlog of uncleared cargoes to be decongested in the ports. What about duties paid by importers, are they on the decline, on the rise or stable? As you know, often times what goes up in Nigeria hardly comes down. There is high expectation that port business will boom in 2014, but whatever happens this year we have learnt as clearing agents to weather the storm. Even "

# paid on imported vehicles from 20 to 70 percent, Nigerian auto cargoes was being diverted to ports in the neighbouring countries where it is cheaper to clear. Now, unless there is a policy rethink, the situation could get worse. If the issues already created by the new Pre-Arrival Assessment Report (PAAR) that was introduced recently by the Nigerian Customs Service are not handled in earnest, I see a situation where Nigerian ports continue to lose some of their cargoes to other " Âľ

$ Nigerian ports in 2013 lost rice imports to Benin Republic when the Federal Government imposed the 110 percent duty on rice. So, I expect the new automotive policy on vehicles to lead to heavy diversion of vehicles to ports that are user friendly, and also result to loss of government revenue. I see the booming of illegal business of smuggling of vehicles and rice to avert duties persisting in 2014. And there is no way the Customs we have today will be able to curb smuggling down to 100 percent. Indeed, the issue of policy inconsistency would not only lead to diversion of cargoes to Cotonou, but would also lead to smuggling and loss of jobs in Nigeria.

he National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Ekiti State says it destroyed 800 hectares of Indian hemp and arrested 310 drug peddlers in 2013. The state Commander, Mr Bamidele # " # newsmen in Ado-Ekiti. He said of the 310 suspects arrested for # ''& while 11.5 tonnes of drugs were burnt. Akingbade, however, expressed worry over the increasing number of youths smoking and selling cannabis as well as other hard drugs. He called on farmers to take advantage of the good soil texture in the state to cultivate food crops instead of Indian hemp. Akingbade said some of the youths ventured into the illicit drug business as a result of ignorance, unemployment and poverty. He commended the state governor, Kayode Fayemi for providing vehicles, rehabilitation homes as well as sponsorship of campaign programmes on radio and television. Akingbade advised youths and politicians not to engage in the illicit drug business, vowing that the command would ensure the prosecution of those arrested.

NIMC takes measures to prevent cyber crimes

T

he National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has taken security measures to protect the data base of the commission from cyber crimes. Mr Chris Onyemenam, Director-General of NIMC said this at a workshop on ``Applying big data analytic and active cyber defence in large scale identity management system’’ organised by NIMC in Abuja. Onyemenam said that the commission had well equipped members of staff who are charged with the responsibilities of operating its data base. ``We deliberately trained Nigerians to operate the NIMC project so as to avoid the idea of engaging foreign technical experts, who may decide to hold us to ransom in future.’’ He said the reason for engaging only Nigerians in the collection and maintenance of the commission’s data base, was to ensure the security of its operations. He said the commission was aware of the high rate of cyber crimes and the need to protect its data base from such infiltration. According to him, the commission decided to invite a Nigerian in the Diaspora who is vast in ICT to educate its stakeholders in identity management, on the dangers of cyber crimes and how it can affect the identity management system. ``The reason we are holding this workshop is because NIMC is aware of the high cyber crime threat on the identity management system, and we want to take additional measures to prevent it,’’ Onyemenam said. In his presentation, the Chairman of Milonics Analytics, Prof Ndubuisi Ekekwe, said measures aimed at protecting the country’s identity system from cyber crimes must be sustained.

We play dirty politics in Africa –Rights activist Continued from Page 17

to spend six years i.e. a term and the two years that he served to complete Yar’Adua’s tenure? I was not there, and I think most Nigerians were not there when that agreement was reached and if there is any such they should bring it out for everybody to see. Former President Obasanjo would is such an agreement and he brings it out. His argument

" there was this agreement for President Jonathan to serve just one term of four years. Even if there is such, there is nothing stopping President Jonathan from going for a second term of another four years. If there is such an agreement they should let all Nigerians see it. This sounds very funny; that agreement, if there is any, is not ideal as far as I am concerned. The President Jonathan’s administration in the last three years has witnessed a lot of crises, because some northern politicians vowed to make this country ungovernable for him. What is your comment? In Africa, we play dirty politics. You will agree with me if you look at what is happening in Mali, Rwanda, Cote d’Ivoire and Egypt etc. Again, look at the Ghanaian politics which is perfect. There was an election in Ghana; it was transparent, credible, free and fair. The defeated incumbent presidents came up and accepted defeat. If our elections have been transparent enough, political detractors will think twice before leading a protest or calling for violence. However, it is not impossible that those # political crises in Nigeria today. This is why we are saying that our politicians should be mindful of what they say because there are many stone-hearted and uninformed persons who are ready to go violent any time, any day. Also our electioneering umpire should try as much as possible to ensure that elections in Nigeria are transparent, credible, free and fair. If our elections are free and fair anybody that calls for violence would discover that nobody will follow him. The last segment of this interview is on gay practice which is simply about homosexuals. Now, as a human being and as a lawyer, how do you see the practice of gay?

You see, human beings on this earth have started playing God. God in his mercy created "

and this same God saw that Adam needed a helper. He did not create a man for him; instead he created a woman for him. But now, you see male to male and female to female instead male to female and vice versa. You now see why human beings have started playing God. The holy books, the Bible and the Quran - all oppose man versus man sexual relationship. Homosexuality and lesbianism are not meant for humans like us. Man marrying man and woman marrying woman, has come into being. Human beings have even gone further by marrying animals which is devilish. A few weeks ago, a man in America was widely reported to have married a dog in the state of California or so; and there was a pastor who Š # $ asked myself a question: is # # extinction? That man came to the conclusion that since the state of California did not permit him to make love to his dog, he would go to another state that permits it. Now back home in Nigeria, some gay activists say it is their fundamental right. According to chapter 4 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended, you have freedom of assembly, association etc. They therefore argue that it is their right. But they fail to tell us that in the same constitution there is this particular portion that says a man should marry a man to form a marriage association since it is their

There is something V Q\ Q X geographical Q V \ Nigeria that you \ Qz Q\ Q places. This brings out the beauty of the country. If the people can Z \ \ \ Q\ believe in what the Americans believe in i.e. thinking of _ V Q \ for the country

Okotele fundamental right to associate in that manner. Now, let us come to the Marriage Act of 1970 - the law that governs marriages in Nigeria. We have the customary marriage; we have court marriages. But under these Acts, there is no portion that said these marriages includes man to man or woman to woman marrying themselves or man marrying an animal. Then customarily, I have not seen any custom in Nigeria and I have not seen a custom that says a man should marry another man or a woman can marry another woman. I have also not seen or heard where Christianity or Islam permits people of the same sex marry each other. This is the area where I really commended Mr. President and the National in enacting a law against homosexuals and lesbians in this country. Nigeria is not America, Nigeria is not Britain,

* # from Ghana and Cameroon. We have decided on how to rule ourselves. Our freedom does not permit homosexuals and lesbianism. There are some things that are humanly wrong. Therefore, we should not say because we have freedom we should start doing them. Recently, the British government made a public pronouncement that any African country that enacts a law against gay practice should consider its relations with it severed. How do you see this statement by the British Prime Minster? The question I want to ask here is whether Britain, America or other developed countries of the world have a relationship conferred on us? Let’s take Nigeria as

Âą $ " are we enjoying from the British government? So, the issues between Nigeria and Britain have been that of deprivation, stagnation and what have you. There has been zapping, economic zapping.

Since they came to Africa, especially Nigeria in 1914 when they amalgamated us i.e. the northern and southern protectorates, is there any # " # * # " them? They only came after our natural wealth only to dump us thereafter. That is why I said their coming was to impoverish us as a country, As they were leaving they

# systems in us and that is why we always depend on them. If by today the same Britain says because we would not adopt gay into our system we should forget about our relationship with them, so be it. We have nothing to lose after all; we did not get anything from them. The Bible says righteousness exalts a nation. This issue of gay, did God approve it? Even if our constitution today says the practice of gay is lawful, we would pay very dearly for it. The constitution of God forbids it; our constitution also forbids it. Therefore, I must commend our leaders for their bold step against it Nigeria is 100 years old as a nation after the amalgamation. What do you have to say about the Nigerian state? Nigeria is good. The name would be good if the people

$ The North and the South were brought together. As they say, there is unity in diversity. If you look at the geographical entity called Nigeria, you " South, South South, South East and the South West. In the North we have the North West, North East, North Central. There is something " # # entity called Nigeria that you Âş " $ brings out the beauty of the country. If the people can be dedicated and believe in what the Americans believe in i.e. thinking of what they can do for the country, you will see the Nigeria we all want to see. The problem Nigeria is facing is that we put ourselves above that geographical expression called Nigeria. Every Nigerian thinks of his local government

" of his state talk less of his country. But in America or Europe, they think of their country before any other thing. The love for the entity is not there. If we want to be a great country we should do away with these tribal or religion sentiments and let Nigeria be our focus. I bet you that in the next 100 years the gains, the " # # will triple what we have made now.

LP chieftain advises youth on 2015 elections Ajibade Alabi

A

prominent politician in Agege, Lagos State, Adeniji Adekunle, has advised youths in the area to be weary of the type of leaders they elect in the 2015 general elections. Speaking with Saturday Newswatch, the Labour Party (LP) chieftain said it is time the youths take their destiny in their hands as the elections draw nearer. His words: “I think it is time our youths realise that their destiny is in their hands. They should not allow themselves to be used by any politician who, after the elections, will dump them. “We all saw what happened in 1999 when a lot of promises " even after almost 15 years. We should not look at the party, but for credible candidates who can change things.� He added: “In our party, we are not imposing any candidate on the people. Our people have a say on who their leader should be; we do not just impose anyone on them as the other parties do. Labour is not operating on thuggery. We believe in changing people based on good reasons. “We always stand for the people. Other political parties are just there to loot our money; they are not there for the interest of the people. That is why we want people in the Agege area to come out so we can vote this people out of power.�

APGA chieftain visits South West to reposition party Mansur Oladunjoye

N

ational Vice Chairman South-West of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), Alhaji Tayo Showunmi, recently embarked on a two-week working visit to the zone to rally all stakeholders for the advancement of the party. The discussion session and the reception in his honor held at the Starjen International Hotel, Okokomaiko, Lagos used also to tend to series of topical and pertinent APGA-related questions. At the Lagos discussion, Showunmi said, “the National Executives of APGA is ready to support any election involving Lagos State APGA, even up to the gubernatorial level, once the state executives is able to stage a free and fair congress and present: grass-root oriented, vibrant cum credible gubernatorial candidate.� A press statement by the state publicity secretary of APGA, Sanjo Olawuyi quoted Showunmi to have added, “In politics, richness or poverty, political experience can’t be under-rated.� The Chairman of Lagos APGA, Mr. Edwin Izuchukwu assured the gathering that his administration will bank on the huge population of Igbos and other minority tribes in Lagos State in 2015 to wrestle power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Izuchukwu concluded that Lagos APGA had empirically acted in synergy with the APGA slogan, “be your brothers’ keeper,� by exhibiting an array of public spirited gestures to the residents.

Constituent Assembly, with Alhaji Shehu Shagari as my secretary. He later became President. So I have gone through all these. And I think a chance should be given to the younger people. Dr. Ekwueme was part and parcel of the late General Sani Abacha’s conference. He was pivotal to that conference. So, he has played his part. So, we both agreed that having played our part, we should give a chance to younger people. We agreed not to be delegates. “But we also agreed that we owe a duty to Ndigbo that we are not going to abandon our people at the conference. Although, we did not want to be delegates, we are going to stand behind our delegates. Appeal should be made to our governors to provide the funds for an accommodation to be taken in Abuja as a meeting place for Igbo delegates and we will make ourselves available, may be twice a week, where we will discuss, rob minds and guide the Igbo delegates. Our role should be that of guidance; we will sit with them at least twice a week in that meeting place,� he said. In summary, Nwabueze disclosed that Ndigbo would reintroduce the inclusion of the right of secession or self- determination in the new constitution; adoption of the regions as the basis of the federating units and the establishment of regional or state police to enable the governors or regional leaders enforce their

Ekwueme authority and laws. He said the position paper reduced the items in the exclusive legislative list as currently contained in the 1999 constitution, from 68 to 36, lamenting that the current constitution is abhorrent to true federalism where a commissioner of police has overriding power over a state governor and chief Š $ “In this document we are proposing the rights of the zones as the federating unit to self-determination, including the right to secession. The Yoruba people have already accepted it. It’s part of the law of the country already because the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights says that all people shall have unquestionable and inalienable rights to self-determination. “It is part of the law of this country already because I know that the National Assembly enacted a law incorporating the African Charter as part of the domestic law of Nigeria. This is the only international treaty that has been incorporated as part of our domestic law. “So, it’s nothing new; all that we

we are proposing the right of the zones as the federating units to self determination, including the right to secession. But in doing so we are not alone, I’m part of the ethnic nationalists’ movement in Nigeria

Anyim are now saying is that it should be elevated from being part of the ordinary law of the country into a right enshrined in the constitution,â€? he said. According to him, two questions frequently asked are: what he (Nwabueze) wants and; what is the agenda of the Igbo Leaders of Thought? He said the booklets provide answer to the questions. “We have no agenda other than the production of these two booklets. That’s what we set out to do and we have done it. Our mission, our aspiration or objectives are not yet accomplished fully by the production $ " " of the type of national conference that we want. The conference which by a law enacted by the National Assembly will debate, discuss and adopt a brand new constitution, a people’s constitution for Nigeria; not a conference whose deliberations and decisions will be integrated into the existing 1999 constitution. We want a brand new constitution adopted by people of Nigeria for approval at a referendum. “And the conference will be a conference of ethnic nationalities of Nigeria. The number may be in dispute. Research carried out put the number at 389. But we know there are ethnic nationalities in Nigeria. “That purpose has not been accomplished, because of the modalities issued by the government. The national conference that they are calling does not satisfy any of " # $ That is to say, our objectives have not been accomplished. The adoption of a constitution is not the end of the Âť of a brand new people’s constitution to achieve a more fundamental objective, which is to establish a new constitutional and political order * # order that we have at the moment. I don’t think anybody will dispute or disagree that the existing order that we have in this country today is $ # # Leaders of Thought. “The Igbo Leader of Thought is therefore a continuing body. We will go to the national conference. I will

We know that the conference is not the conference for the adoption of a brand new people’s constitution but let us all join the other ethnic groups and talk for three months; something may come out of the talking. “But after the conference, our objectives, our aspirations, our vision for Nigeria still lie in the future. And Igbo Leaders of Thought will continue the struggle for the

$ not a partisan political organisation; none of us is interested. Some of our members may be interested in partisan politics. I’m not and I know the secretary is not,� he explained. He added that the main booklet which is 167 pages, has been reduced #

the main document; if you don’t, read the executive summary. “I do not want to take you through the 167 pages of this, or even the over ²& # Âą $ # or critical importance. In these documents, we are proposing the right of the zones as the federating units to self-determination, including the right to secession. But in doing so we are not alone. I’m part of the ethnic nationalists’ movement in Nigeria. In my keynote address at the conference they held recently, I told them to adopt this right to self-determination. Âź Âż& ¸'š said all peoples shall have an unquestionable and inalienable right to self- determination. Anybody who is saying that you cannot discuss any part of the law of Nigeria at the ° # face of the law. By incorporating the African Charter as part of our domestic law, the right to selfdetermination becomes part of the law of this country. All that we are saying is make it also part of the constitution of Nigeria. We will accept any discussion on the right to selfdetermination. “Now, everybody in Nigeria thinks that the country, the federation should be restructured. I don’t think there is anybody, certainly not an Igbo man, who will disagree with the demand for restructuring, and that is part of what we have done in the position paper.â€? He maintained that under the existing system, federal laws enjoy # the concurrent list, adding that once there is a federal law in the concurrent list and there is a state law, the federal law overrides in all cases. His words:â€?We have said no; that shouldn’t be the case. And we have borrowed some provisions in the constitution of South Africa (1996). That constitution is very innovative.

Ekiti people won’t re-elect Fayemi – Aspirant Kole Ajayi Kole Ajayi, a lawyer and publisher, is a governorship aspirant on the platform of the Accord Party (AP) in Ekiti State. In this interview with TUNDE NIYI-AKINMADE, he talks about his aspiration and the problem of leadership in the state. Excerpts:

W

hy are you in the race for the governorship of Ekiti State? Since Ekiti was crated, governance has been targeted at enriching individual pockets. Also, you will notice that people that have been superintending over the state since Niyi Adebayo till today are people that do not understand the terrain. And the state is now worst with the person currently at the helms of

$ Fayemi. Governance in Ekiti State is being run by another set of people in Lagos, and also the programmes of the present government are not targeted towards having economic values directly to the people but to line some individual pockets. Such a situation could only be corrected by somebody who knows the terrain; somebody that knows where the shoe pinches. As a result of that, we started Ekiti Koya. This was put together two years ago to tackle what we regarded in Ekiti as high ° # $ + being carted away daily to Lagos, $ do not have direct economic impact on the people of Ekiti State. Even the # ° costs. The masses are economically decimated with the irresponsible government policies. What experience in the past is preparing you for this? Yes, I have more than prepared for this. At 15 years, I became the Catholic Youths Leader in Ekiti State. In 2000, I was elected National President of University of Ado Ekiti. By virtue of this, I served as a member of the University Governing Council for four years, during which

My father rests peacefully in Ado Ekiti. I am the chief spokesperson for all Ado Ekiti indigenes. The history of a man in all communities is all about migration. If " you will likely trace it to some communities in a faraway place.

Kole Ajayi You have consistently said that the governor Ekiti needs is a home grown person. What do you mean? The home based theory started from Ekiti Koya, which I am the progenitor. Now everybody has embraced it, so you need to congratulate me. Other aspirants in other parties are also basing their aspirations on the theory. AbiodunAluko, Ropo Ogunbolude, # candidatures on the home based theory. We all know people that have been there, people that have been involved in their communities activities. We also know people that only come around only during elections. Let me tell you how the home based theory works. It is not hinged on the fact that you live in Ekiti State. No! It has to do with your synergy with the people. You may be living in the USA but involved in the activities of your community; living in the heart of your people; you are # than someone domiciling in Ekiti, whose daily routine is to go to work, return home, eat his wife’s pounded yam and go to bed.

But don’t you think your chance $ † zoning, especially now that there is clamour for Ekiti South Senatorial zone? I want to tell you that since Ekiti was created, there has never been a time that this has been the issue. # " $ don’t see how a geographically and culturally compact state like Ekiti should be compartmentalized. Senatorial districts are just political. For example, in the South, we have Ijan Ekiti, about three kilometers from Ado Ekiti. In the ancient days, people strolled from Ado Ekiti to Ijan every $ Š $ So when you say you have zoned Ijan with Ogotun and Ado is not in the same zone with Ijan, then something is wrong. Iworoko is in the Central, Ifaki is in the North and Iworoko to Ifaki is about 2 km. When you look at it, it is all about people arguing their " $ Let me tell you about my own too. I am from Ado Ekiti. An Ado Ekiti man has never been governor. Ado Ekiti with over 130,000 votes, which Ekiti, has never produced a governor. Is it a crime to be a state capital? You know Ibadan has never relinquished governorship of Oyo State. Ekiti people have never sat down anywhere to agree on zoning. If anyone has minutes of meeting of +

bring it. People from the South have always contested but never won. It is a game of chance. You claim to be home based with a hold on the pulse of the State. What is the problem of your State? The problem of Ekiti State is poverty and we are going to put in place policies of welfarism. An average Ekiti man wants policies that will be targeted at building economic strength. We will pursue programmes on agriculture, education, health, solving the problem of unemployment of our youths. We will embark on massive industrialization of the State, taping on our natural resources. It is a pity that the Fayemi administration has

$ $ case federal laws should override the zones. “Now, the police are some of the aspects of the present system that is so abhorrent to the whole concept of true federalism. You see what is happening in Rivers State, and what happened in Onitsha in 2000 where a president will direct a commissioner of police in charge of a state on what to do, overriding the position of the # Š $ " government is that any government or any state that does not have the coercive power to enforce its existence, maintain its existence as a state or government and enforce its laws, is not a state. That is the primary criterion of a state. We don’t have it in this country; everything is at the centre, and the states are simply appendages. So, something must be done, even if not for the whole country, at least for the protection of Igbo interest. “And so we have recommended that the states must have their separate coercive force to maintain themselves in existence as government, to enforce their authority and to enforce their laws. And that means separate zonal and separate state police force. Let the armed forces remain national or federal, but as far as the police are concerned each state, each zone should have its own police. “You may say that they may be abused. Can you think of any power that is not abused in this country? And if you base your decision, your proposal for a constitution on the possibility of abuse, you will have to abolish everything. In this country everything is liable to abuse. We try to control, restrain abuse. But don’t say zonal police will be abused or state police will be abused, therefore no. Are the federal police not being abused? That is one of the greatest areas of abuse in this country. So, the relationship between the federal police and the zonal or state police will be worked out at the national conference. “Now, on elections: can you really think of two federal systems where the elections of the constitutional organs of the state governor are conducted and controlled by an agency of the Federal Government called the Independent National Electoral Commission? “What is national about it apart from the name? No true federal systems in the world allows that # # and members of your state House of Assembly being elected or the election being conducted by an agency of the Federal government. It’s not done anywhere; so that must stop.â€? The secretary of the group, Prof. Amaucheazi, a political scientist, stated that initially, Ndigbo were worried by the refusal of Nwabueze and Ekwueme to be at the conference, but expressed happiness that the two elders have agreed to remain behind the scene to give support. He said his group wants Nigeria to remain strong and united but on the basis of justice and equity. Assistant secretary of the group and convener of the Igbo Youth ¸ š + # + Uko, said the content of the Igbo position as presented in the booklets was futuristic and that millions of copies would be produced for distribution free to Ndigbo wherever they are as the critical Igbo agenda in Nigeria.

How do I cope with my rude sister-in-law?

$ # Adaora, You say every other person dismisses your sister-in-law’s. You say every other person dismisses your sister-inlaw’s behaviour as inferiority complex and simply ignore it. The question is why can’t you? Psychologists actually say that when somebody triggers us (provokes us to overreact), it is often because something in that person’s behaviour mirrors a quality in ourselves that we don’t like or are afraid of. It may also provoke envy because, secretly, we would like to behave in the same way, but are frightened of the consequences.

This is not to say that you are rude or sarcastic. I wonder why you are trying to protect your sister and mother. They can handle themselves. You don’t need to take responsibility for their feelings that even if you don’t believe they are capable of standing up for themselves. You need to know that everyone is =,_(20+1)( ,*--?):('0+@)*)6*7*@()‚?5,2) sister-in-law’s facade is anger, yours is compliance) and that you can share their fears. It certainly takes the sting out of other people’s behaviour to realize that we all struggle with emotions that overwhelm us. If like you say she is your age-mate, simply talk to her and -(4)'(2)8+5<)'(2)*;04,@()0=)*++5?0+1) everyone. Let her know you would like you all to live as one happy family. The truth is that it isn’t very easy to live with in-laws but you would need to just maintain peace with them for the sake of everyone involved. Cheers!

$ # ° and I don’t think he realizes how terrible long distance relationships are. I know

º # # # º º happened yet. Nikki, Lagos Nikki, For most of human history, long-distance relationships have been impossible to sustain due to travel reasons alone. The internet age has made it much more feasible with skpe, facebook, and all. It is very possible to bridge the gap, but not without major changes to your behaviour. For instance, simply things as hugs are great. However, you’ll start to miss them after six months of being away from ?5,2)/*24+(2A) 4]=)+54)^,=4)/'?=07*-)*_(7405+) that gets lost with the distance, either. Chances are that even the most mobile couples will communicate primarily via text, voice, and occasionally video chat sessions. During most of your conversations, there are many human interactions you’re not privy to. You don’t get to see them smile. You can’t tell that their :5@?)-*+1,*1()0=)@0_(2(+4)<'(+)4'(?]2(),/=(4A) This inherently puts more pressure on verbal communication. If you can’t make plans to pick up and move across the state or country just yet, at least plan your next meeting before the current one ends. You don’t need to make travel arrangements necessarily (that can be incredibly expensive to begin with), but having a target to look forward to can help alleviate some of the stress of seeing your loved one go. As in most situations, the key to overcoming this problem is communication, but this type might not come naturally. If you’re the jealous type, this is especially problematic. You’ll wish you could be there, but you can’t. This causes tension. It also breeds paranoia. It may be possible to overcome this :?)=(;0+1)*=0@()403()45)=/(+@)451(4'(2)*+@):?) reassuring each other that if you could, you’d be doing activities together.

I

n the last week, fuel queues returned to a number of Nigeria’s major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Owerri and Port Harcourt, cities which I traversed last week. I person $ \"] my way to Kwale last weekend, forcing me to arrive late to the event I was attending in Delta State. On top of that, I paid the marketdetermined ‘deregulated price’. Of course, that was not my real concern. I just wanted to get to my destination on time, yet I did not, even after paying above ‘recommended’ price and haggling and begging at the only were closed. Thursday this week, I missed ^ ! domestic airport in Lagos was blocked. By who? you may ask. By Lagos drivers queuing and struggling to buy fuel! Truly, I have been through this scenario very many times in my life that I cannot even begin to count, though the frequency has been largely reduced in the last two years or so. But must we go through this at all? Why _ ` X X ! kerosene or cooking gas without hassles. Why can’t I have the same experience as walking into a Supermarket, a restaurant, a Pharmacy, a bank, or a market and coming out with my needs with minimum wahala? Why? Why? { / < = round of disruption of economic activities across the nation, the reasons were familiar. Many importers of petrol claim they have not been paid their subsidy rebates, or they have been short-paid for their earlier imports. Others claim they did not get early approval from Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) to import. Others blame NNPC and PPMC. Everybody is blaming somebody, while Nigerians

! < = ! sources (jerry cans-carrying fuel marketers = as productive man-hours are lost on petrol queues. My question again is, why must we be subjected to this seasonal malady? It seems to me that this regular disruption of our national economic life will not end until we end this fuel subsidy travesty. It is clear also, that the fuel subsidy will not end until we fully deregulate the downstream petroleum sector on one hand, and pass the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), on the other. The Government and it’s agencies have been struggling over the years to maintain regular supply of PMS at great cost to the Federation, ! ! <

last two years) will not guarantee unbroken supply as long as we have this subsidy reimbursement scheme, and as long as we need anybody to grant anybody permission to import fuel. It has not worked anywhere and import controls of essential commodities or utilities will always lead to broken supplies. Look at what is happening with supply of kerosene. It is pitiable to see women, children and old men spend days on long queues looking to buy a bottle of kerosene. Why must we allow this spectacle to continue for so long and then keep supporting regulation and price controls? What is the cost of staying on queues for days and abandoning productive work? What is more, this subsidy regime is unsustainable; it is the cause of many of the maladies we are facing in this country today. First, it is consuming a disproportionate percentage of our national income, sometimes reaching nearly 50% as we saw in 2011. Even after the 2012 partial deregulation, our country is still ‘wasting’ between N1-1.5tr in paying subsidy claims to importers of petrol. I hope Nigerians realise what N1trillion can do for our infrastructure - economic or social. The approximately N1trillion budgeted for fuel subsidy in 2014 is about 24% of the total FGN budget of N4.6 trillion and compares favourably with the entire capital budget of

Fuel scarcity again? Nigerians, let’s be wise the nation, which is only slightly higher at N1.2 trillion and only 26% of the total budget. This is one major reason our Recurrent Expenditure is eating up the entire budget at 74% in 2014. If we compare the impact of only about N300 billion (equivalent to 30% of the N1trillion budgeted for fuel subsidy payment in 2014 alone) of the subsidy savings utilised in the last two years by the Federal SURE-P Committee to accelerate completion of the Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja dual carriageway; the Kano- Maiduguri dualisation; the BeninOre- Shagamu expressway reconstruction; the Onitsha-Enugu highway reconstruction, and the East-West Road dualisation in the Niger Delta, it may become clear to Nigerians what one Trillion Naira dedicated to infrastructural development can achieve in a short while. Now when we realise that the same N300 billion has been used to support

It seems to me that this regular disruption of our national economic life will not end until we end this fuel subsidy travesty. It is clear also, that the fuel subsidy will not end until we fully deregulate the downstream petroleum sector on one hand, and pass the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), on the other

the rehabilitation of the Lagos-Kano Western rail line and the ongoing PH- Makurdi- Maiduguri Eastern rail line rehabilitation, and the counterpart funding for the standard guage Abuja-Idu- Kaduna modern rail line, the value becomes clearer. Then when it is fully realised that the same N300billion has been used to procure over 800 Mass Transit buses running across the nation; fund the ongoing Loko-Oweto bridge construction, provide initial counterpart funding for the 2nd Niger bridge, then the value becomes much clearer. But when Nigerians realise that beyond hardcore roads, bridges and railways, the same N300 billion has enabled the provision of jobs for over 150,000 youths and women (including the disabled) through the various safety net programmes of SUREP, such as the Community Social, Women and Youth Employment (CSWYE) programme, the Graduate Internship scheme (GIS), the FERMA public works programme, then the impact becomes overwhelmingly obvious. Or are we talking of the drastic reduction in maternal and infant mortality rates occasioned by the Maternal And Child Healthcare(MCH) programme that has provided jobs for over 9000 midwives and village health workers who are spread over nearly 1000 newly renovated Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) in the 36 States plus the FCT, providing antenatal and primary health services to over 250,000 pregnant mothers and infants (as at end of last year) including taking deliveries of new born babies in areas where, hitherto, pregnant women delivered at home or in quack maternity centres, with dastardly consequences. The impact of only N300 billion! Can we then begin to imagine what can be done with an additional N1000 billion a year if we stop this subsidy travesty now? I call it subsidy travesty because it looks to me like Nigerians are burning candles on both ends. Except in some parts of Lagos and in the Abuja metropolis, hardly is petrol sold at the recommended price of N97 per litre. In most parts of Nigeria especially in the North and East of Nigeria, there has been

full deregulation long times ago. At normal products at their own prices. Some are even bold to advertise their prices on notice boards - damning DPR threats - while some others only use calculators to calculate prices. It is only after you have paid that you can determine cost per litre. Many commercial drivers including Okada riders keep no damn about literage. They just deal on Naira value and care little about price per litre. So, many Nigerians like me are exposed to double jeopardy. My country uses the money it would have used to build roads and run good schools and hospitals to give to importers of petrol and then I still end up buying fuel at the deregulated market price, as if there was no subsidy. Is this not double jeopardy? Who ! ! + / the licensed importers of petrol, the retailers < = < = > + / > < / =

Most of those accused are walking about freely. So why must Nigerians allow themselves to be fooled over and over? And yet some people are threatening that if the deregulation is completed (fully removing all forms ! = ! > or commit suicide! I do not understand the logic at all. How do we end the corruption if we do not stop what causes the corruption? By preaching only?, by talking only?, by complaining only or just by criticising the government?
