Those with vaulting expectations, for example, are likely to be shocked by what lies ahead in the next three months. It would be so because some of their hopes and expectations, according to Saturday Newswatch ings, would be dashed. Indeed, majority of the delegates, especially those that lobbied to be included for pecuniary reasons, are likely to be shocked beyond words when the reality of the conditions hits them next week. Contrary to the belief that each of them would be paid a hefty N12 million upfront to cover the three months period, Saturday Newswatch investigations revealed that some may have their accounts credited with only a fraction of that amount. In other words, nobody will be paid for work not done.

Some of the delegates, a senior civil servant observed at the weekend, would spend a lot of money on transportation and

Another challenge is about feeding. Fortunately, there are specialized eateries in Abuja that prepare delicacies of different cultural areas of the country, but they do not come cheap. For example, a plate man’s soup or white soup that may cost N200 or N300 in most parts of the South South region, goes for between N3,000 and N4,500 at some eateries in Abuja. The situation is the same for special delicacies from other parts of the country. So it goes without saying that delegates from that part of the country, who have a taste for ‘home food’, !

Let’s return to Parliamentary system of government – Gani Adams Coordinator of Oodua Peoples’ Congress (OPC), Otunba Gani Adams, told Saturday Newswatch that unless the nation practices

against corruption would remain a waste of time and resources, adding that the present presidential arrangement is too cumbersome for Nigeria to operate successfully. He told Assistant Politics Editor, MANSUR OLADUNJOYE, that the South West delegates to the national conference would pursue same agenda as their South East counterparts. Excerpts:

W

hat agenda are you likely to pursue at the confab? We will pursue policies that would improve the present status of Nigeria which include the true principles of federalism and structures that will give economic buoyancy to the country. We will pursue issue that have to do greatly with the prospect of the Yoruba nation. Most of the issues that will give peace and harmony to Nigeria we will pursue. However, we are not ! ! & interests; we are going there for the collective interests of the entities that make up Nigeria. We shall also pursue the Yoruba agenda. This means placing ourselves beside our resolution. Most of the contents of the Yoruba agenda are likely to be fashionable to other ethnic interests too. We will make sure that the interests of other geo-political zones too are taken care of in our agenda. But your Igbo counterparts included secession in their agenda; do you share same view with them? I read the content of their agenda as championed by Prof. Ben Nwabueze in your paper (Saturday Newswatch). It is not & Ă? ' ' [ state their position on the system of government they prefer for the country. The issue of secession can be there as a last option. The way Nigeria is going now, I will tell you that if the Igbo do not have regional government, there is no way they would rule the country. If they [ ! based on the federating units, there is no way Nigeria would have an Igbo president especially under the current presidential system of government. I will not disagree with them especially in their agenda

because Prof. Nwabueze, I know, will not pray for Nigeria to break up. He is one of the best constitutional lawyers we have in Nigeria. I have been monitoring him for long and I see him as someone who believes and works for a cause. I watched him from the Ohanaeze group to The Patriot which he led alongside the late Pa. Abraham Adesanya. After that, he was the president of Conference of Ethnic Nationalities. He knows everything about restructuring. When I read the Igbo agenda in your newspaper, I pondered over the last words which stated that they would print the agenda and distribute it freely to every Igbo man all over the world. That shows their seriousness about this project called confab; they are prepared even beyond the confab. Nigeria is a multi-ethnic country with about 200 million people. That is more than the population of some four African countries put together. Nwabueze and his people are not asking that the country should break up; they are only emphasising the complex nature of the country and the way out of deprivation that bothers on irregular sharing of common resources. This is because our brothers in the North have a way of uniting against us in the South. Whose fault? Well, let me agree that the North has _ * ! ' in the country because they have been in the system more than the rest of us. The northerners occupy the topmost positions in the military, the police and ? [ W E Ă? still there. I think Nwabueze knows what he is saying; that is why he wants to stay back and watch the younger ones do it. Nwabueze is so passionate about this conference and has been agitating for it & ! ' [ & !

Politics Let’s return to Parliamentary system of government – Gani Adams Continued from Page 15

You should expect statements of various shades when a conference like this comes up. You can imagine when the Arewa Consultative Forum said that if northerners don’t get what they want, they would walk out. You can now imagine the desperation of our brothers to hold on to power. A patriotic delegate that comes to the conference for a solution to the country’s problems will not walk out. What are the core areas you think delegates must touch at the conference? The system of government is the most important issue to be addressed. Second, is the structure; the third should be the derivation principle (sharing formula); fourth, is the issue & '� & '� sixth, the electoral law, and the seventh should be how our judicial system could work more of loopholes in the existing one. Our law experts at the conference should look into how a trial can be fast- tracked. We have a lot of people awaiting trial for almost 15 years for various issues. Also, that a Nigerian stays in a particular part of the country for 10 years ought to confer on him indigenship rights. These are important issues that should be considered by all peace-loving Nigerian at the confab. Every delegate must use the three months national assignment of our motherland. This is an opportunity to rewrite history and we must judiciously do this for the sake of posterity. The truth is that the presidential system of government is too expensive for us; we have to go back to the parliamentary system of government. When our leaders - before and after independence - practiced the parliamentary system of government, there was no corruption; but immediately we changed the system through ` & = J.T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi, the next Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, saw the opportunities in the system and grabbed it. That was the beginning of corruption in Nigeria. The military started corruption in Nigeria and when the late General Murtala Mohammed took over and couldn’t compromise himself, he exposed many of them and he was assassinated. When the civilians came on board, they embraced tactical unitary system of government and collapsed most of our values. They couldn’t maintain most of the structures the colonial masters gave to us;

they couldn’t maintain most of the structures the Gowon administration gave to us. Even those passed to us by the General Olusegun Obasanjo’s government especially when the federal capital was being & & like the Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) and Trade Fair Complex - are now in a sorry state just because the capital has been moved to Abuja. All these things are going to be discussed and restructured. Imagine a situation where someone from troubled states like Bauchi, Adamawa and Benue is being asked to come and secure Lagos. How serious will he be? Won’t he ask himself: “my people are not safe back home and I am asked to secure Lagos.� Of course, it would be a failure. All these we are going to restructure, because we have discovered that Nigeria depends heavily on mineral resources. There are countries that do not have mineral resources but are

‰ W inward into our natural resources to generate funds that could be ploughed back into the country for our development. All these can only be achieved through a proper regional arrangement or true federalism where each federating region or state moves at its own pace. Are you convinced that Justice Idris Kutigi could lead the confab successfully? Well, I don’t know him very well, but I don’t see him as a controversial chief judge throughout his tenure. For that, I give him kudos. That must be the reason Nigerians have not W they named him thus. The vice chairman, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi. is a tested and trusted diplomat who has done the country proud in various appointments in the past.

Though, it may not be a tea ' + delegates will come with a spirit of maturity, believing that we are at the stage of rescuing the country from imminent collapse and when you want to rescue, you must endure greatly and be well coordinated, coherent and fairly convincing. You shouldn’t _ ' & ! ' ablaze. We must prepare to give and take; we must not go there as political parties. No! It would be wrong for a person like me to go and start defending the operations of the OPC. That + must bring myself to the level of everybody at the confab. We are there to rescue Nigeria from the abyss. We want to bring back the lost values of Nigeria. Imagine a situation where a Nigerian

Such a derogatory statement is normal in a situation like this. Even if the Federal Government releases the names of 10,000 delegates, some unfavoured ones would still castigate the system because they missed out. The Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), the Ogonis and the Ijaw people too complained. It is normal to condemn the considered ones. Wale Osun, the chairman of ARG is my brother and I don’t know the parameters 11 to be chosen. Those I know as brainy in Nigeria may not be those Osun knows as brainy and vice versa. When talking of brains, how many does he (Osun) know in Nigeria; how many Yoruba professors does he know in Nigerian universities; how many PhD holders does he know? Truly, Osun is one of the brains we have in the South West because he understands the Yoruba race. I give that to him. That does not give him liberty to say that those going are not the "" * this was at a press conference on the day before he was considered for the conference. He is now coming to join us who ‰ position will he occupy on the list now? The worst or best of us all? Let Osun be careful in how he talks and addresses people especially at the confab so that he [ +

It is a pity that he could call great minds like Chiefs Richard Akinjide, Lanihun Ajayi, Ayo Adebanjo, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Yinka Odumakin + been in this struggle for 20 years. Let Nigerians ask: how many &

There is a ' in exile and somebody at home & ! ‰ ! while he and others were in exile; we were the ones pasting posters, ! _ ! & one place to the other, risking our lives to penetrate Nigerians to sympathise with our cause. We led the mother of all rallies by NADECO in 1995. We mobilised people at the grassroots for the UAD rally; we confronted the late General Sani Abacha at the June 4, rally. It would have been another issue if he had complained that he was not picked for the assignment and not that those & It is too confrontational and downgrading to us. By now, he ought to have known that Yoruba people don’t forget things easily. Most of our elders going to the confab will no longer like him. Osun declared that Fasehun did not have the pedigree to win Federal Government’s N9 billion contract, saying it was too dangerous to empower him to that tune. At the same time, he dragged Fasehun’s secretary, Edward Ajayi, to join him. You can see his chameleonic nature. I didn’t lobby for the appointment; & ' country. If I go there it is because I have a lot to do here.

F

rom your observation of justice after elections, will you say our judiciary is doing well? We are doing very poorly on that. A lot of judges do not have the courage to do what they ought to do. The justice system has never worked in Nigeria. I am sure it worked for a while after our colonial masters had left us, but today, because of the corrupt leaders that we have, most of them are also not there by merit. That doesn’t mean that there are no few good ones among them. But majority of them are very corrupt. Are you saying that our judicial administrators are there just for

There is nothing wrong in working just for your pockets; the problem is that they twist and pervert justice. Imagine a judge saying former Governor James Ibori didn’t have case to answer, and discharged him of the 17-count charges.

So, if he wants to do any other thing contrary to the will of God, then it’s left for God to judge him. He is my mentor, and my advice is that he should not be misguided. He should not be confused, he should not be misdirected. He should do what is right. It’s not easy to be the governor of a state, and he should strive to continue to do what is right. If you are chosen to be the governor, it’s not by stroke of luck; it’s the might of the ancestors and the almighty God. So, I urge him to keep his conscience and do what is right for this state. History will remember him. History will succeed him. I urge him, therefore, that if anyone wants to succeed him, let it be someone who will do something similar to what Governor Babatunde Fashola is doing in Lagos State, because when former Governor Ahmed Tinubu left there, he had a very good successor, and that is why today, you see Lagos the way it is. That is why today, Tinubu can beat his chest and say, ‘Fashola continued with my plans.’ I hope that whoever succeeds our governor should be a man with courage, a man who will do what is good for Edo State.

Obiano feels reality of governance in Anambra Alphonsus Eze, Awka

L

\ ' experince of governance hit Chief Willie Obiano, the new governor of Anambra State, as he mounted the podium with his deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke, to take the oath of allegiance {W Square, Awka, before a ! ! scorching sun to be part of the ceremony. The enormity of governance that would weigh down on Obiano and his deputy was observed in them, especially ' ' such that they occasionally missed their lines during the swearing-in rituals by the state Chief Judge, Justice Peter Umeadi. This may be excused them given the delicate and complex nature of governance which obviously W & administrators to govern without crises. For Obiano, the stake is even higher, being the fourth governor since this democratic regime in 1999, and coming after Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju, Senator Chris Ngige and of course his god-father and predecessor, Mr. Peter Obi. Obiano is not oblivious of the demand on him to surpass whatever the previous governors have done towards placing Anambra on a higher pedestal in critical areas of social and economic development. Subsequently, he promised in his address that his major pre-occupation wouls be to improve power generation by building Independent Power Plant in Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka as well as beef up the security of lives and property by training and retraining the state’s vigilante (AVS) operatives and the police, stressing that every citizen in the state would be involved. Obiano reminded Anambrarians that his victory was for the entire state, saying “the occasion is a celebration of triumph of the human will over the challenges that make democracy reluctant seed to grow in Africa.� He teased that under his administration, Amambra people would have no choice than to be the sons and daughters of their fathers and true heirs of the long history of pioneering excellence,

noting that apart from aggressively addressing the challenges of power, “they have the responsibility to free their people from the clutches of underdevelopment and set the tone for accelerated advancement.� The new governor said the state capital, Awka, under his regime would receive re-design and remodel it to requirement of the 21st century that every citizen would be proud of. He reiterated that his four pillars - pursuit of mechanised agriculture, oil and gas, trade and commerce, and industrialisation, would ignite enablers such as education, health, the environment, youth and sport development, transportation, housing and urban planning, among other social infrastructure. Obiano then sued for unity among the people which he said could be elusive, lamenting that over the years “we have allowed narrow interests to put knife on the things that bind us together and today, we can no longer act as one.� To Anambrarians in Diaspora, Obiano advised them not to be carried away by the easy comforts abroad so as not to forget their origin. He promised to establish a Diaspora Liaison Programme (DLP) to open a window for those who may wish to start business in the state as initial step to their eventual relocation to Nigeria. Promising to rebuild his party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to dominate the South East and indeed make in-road to other parts of the country, he extended hands of fellowship to his opponents in the 2013 November governorship election. In his brief speech, former Governor Peter Obi, who arrived the Ekwueme Square, at about 12.58 pm, promised not to interfere with the administration of Obiano, describing the state as the ' ` disclosed that some state governments are indebted to Imo through the bonds they bought from the state. He expressed happiness that he rebuilt the state in the last eight years. Obi declared that he has Obiano and urged citizens to “always pray for him, show him love, refuse to criticise him even when he makes

Obiano

mistakes.� To Obiano who was accompanied by his wife, Ebelechukwu, Obi charged & for the state, adding that he has no contract with him or anybody but the people of Anambra State. But beyond the pomp and rhetoric of the inauguration, is the reality that governance may not after all be all bed of roses for Obiano who many ' ' easy given certain actions his predecessor took lately. Mr. Okeke Madukaife, a the state, mentioned the local government election, over-

According to him, for almost eight years, Obi bluntly refused to conduct local government election as well as employ workers for the state civil and teaching service until about two months to his exit. Of Course, he enjoyed to the fullest the local government allocations for eight years and did not pay extra worker for the period. In fact, Obi shut down some statutory agencies like the state water corporation, state Environmental Protection Agency (ANSEPA) and the Anambra mineral industries among others ' !

Okeke argued that it is strange, how Obi who was not known for spending, suddenly became a big time spender few weeks to his exit. “All these monies spent in Obi’s last days in & the state treasury for Obiano’s !

administration. These people are very powerful and have contacts almost everywhere. If Obiano does not block the loopholes through which they may ' W unawares and at the end get drowned. Determined to succeed, Obiano has already hit the road with the appointment of a meeting with the leadership of the state lawmakers on his ' V ' March 18, 2014. He appointed a Howard University Professor, Joseph W X & & Ă? Mr. Willy Nwokoye, a banker, as the principal secretary ! Ă? \ Oseloka Obaze as Secretary to the State Government (SSG.)

Though, acknowledged ' appointments, Obiano the appointees were capable hands who had done well in their respective endeavours and would carry out their tasks dutifully. “The task ! Ă? best of hands and I believe they will deliver,â€? he said. Oseloka, on behalf of others, thanked the governor for the honour done them, promising to work to meet the expectations of the governor and the challenges of governance in the state. Analysts were of the view that Obiano, in appointing an American-based professor and retaining Obaze who had worked with an international organisation, may be anchoring his leadership on Anambrarians in Diaspora, having resided in Houston, USA, before being drafted into the race. However, the appointment has not gladdened many people’s hearts, especially some APGA members and the people of Anambra south senatorial zone, who

=[ ought to naturally have come from among them, since the governor and the Speaker are already from the North, the deputy governor and chief judge from the central senatorial zone, and Obaze, like the governor and the Speaker, hails from Anambra North.

Boni Haruna as Minister of Youth Development

T

he portfolio assigned to Mr. Boni Haruna, the former governor of Adamawa State, as the Minister of Youth Development by President Goodluck Jonathan is in the right direction. The minister was at the forefront in the advancement and development of the youths when he was governor of Adamawa State. This is because of the fact that as the governor of the state then, his cabinet of commissioners consisted mainly of youths within the age bracket of 40-46 years. One youth whose name readily comes to mind, and who was appointed as commissioner in charge of the \ ' & € = X & ' was Alhaji Danjuma Hamman Jalo from Yola-North Local Government. Mr. Haruna laid emphasis on giving the youths an opportunity to prove their worth. It is also on record that he was the only governor in the federation to have appointed his Chief Press Secretary, Malam Abdulrazak Namdas, who was in his mid thirties and gave him the leverage and encouragement to perform his duties to the satisfaction of the people. I remember vividly that it was only in Adamawa ! who are not more than 30 years old. During his eight years stewardship, youth development was accorded topmost priority. He encouraged the participation of youths in sporting activities, and enhanced capacity building for the youths in every sphere of human

endeavour. Mr. Haruna spearheaded the full participation of youths in the art of politics, especially in seeking an ` ' were encouraged in whatever they were doing in order to be self-reliant. As the new minister of Youth Development, no doubt, he would dissipate his energy towards seeing that Nigeria youths are a force to reckon with globally. He would also display his knowledge to see that youths in Nigeria become ! & ! _ W of nation building. The minister would also see that youth exuberance is at its lowest ebb, if not eradicated completely. President Goodluck Jonathan has indeed done the right thing by deploying him to the Ministry of Youth Development as the substantive minister. The advancement of the youths of this country would be the centrepiece of his administration, no doubt. It is hoped that at the end of his tenure, the youths of Nigeria would be counted among the successful ones in the world. There is also the possibility that nearly 40 per cent of the youths in the country will be among those that are productive because of the pragmatic approach he will adopt. Welcome on board, and may your tenure be a successful one. Santuraki Jimeta, Yola

Could he have made greater impact (as an engineer) by writing such popular books as ‘How to Build Roads and Bridges�, ‘How to produce solar energy�, “How to design mass housing units� etc or even weave literary stories around them including children’s stories like “How Aremu’s Village built a Bailey Bridge�, “How Audu discovered the way an Engine works� etc. In other words, I think our writers should begin to reposition strategies to appreciate the importance of the need to write for technological and economic transformation that can eventually take us across the ! & & & ' ' and create a culture of industrial acumen for our children. We cannot remain a consumerist society, and if literature can actually propel society introspectively

forward, then our contemporary literary stratagems must change accordingly. Therefore, I encourage our engineers, mathematicians, doctors, chemists, geologists, even zoologists etc to embark on the literary train and write works that infuse their professional messages and technicalities upon the people, to create a dynamic technological culture. The old writers can retire (I thank them, gentlemen) as we try the new experiments. Dramatists and actors can also bring on stream their professional developmental themes into their home videos. Let these videos for instance embrace doctors that educate us on health issues, lawyers that show the law, accountants that teach traders about book-keeping,

engineers that counsel on how not to ruin our engines through roadside mechanics and so on. In this way, a

The mass media can also present what they can contribute to national development in this way.

Labaran Maku’s recent unguarded utterances By Bala Nayashi

T

he Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, has courted controversies as a result of his various utterances as spokesman of this administration. When some Peoples Democratic Party governors decided to dump their former party for another party to further their political interest, Mr. Maku was alleged to have made reference to one of the most important tribes in this country, as he compared the defecting governors with Fulani herdsmen who move from one place to another for the benefit of their animals. The action drew total condemnation from most Nigerians, especially the Miyatee Allah Cattle Association before he denied making the utterance. Maku, as Minister of Information needs to travel to all the areas afflicted by insurgency to get first hand information in other to disseminate same to the entire world, but chose to remain in the comfort of his office at Abuja, and condemn Governor Kasshim Shettima of Bornu State who has seen it all, and knows where its pinches. The minister should understand how Gov. Shettima feels, and appreciate his efforts in bringing relief and succours to those affected in various attacks by the Boko Haram militants. The Borno State governor has been using the resources of the state to ensure that

people’s needs are met, as well as assuring them that government is with them at this trying period. Maku, as spokesperson of this government need not overheat the polity through his unguarded utterances. He should always find words that would ensure Nigerians believe in the policies and programmes of this present administration. Information dissemination to the populace as regard government activities forms part of how they impact negatively or positively to the lives of the people, and the onus rest on him as the

government mouthpiece. Recently, an on line report revealed that some top military officers were not happy with the Information Minister, as he was said to have appealed to the military not to do anything to undermine the democratic process in the country. He made the remark while handing over to the new Minister of Defence, the ministry he supervised before the appointment of the substantive minister. These utterances by the information minister was uncalled for because in the past fourteen years of

democratic rule, there has not been any report of attempt by the armed forces to involve itself in the politics of the country. Maku should understand how his comment on national issues has not met the requirements needed to boost the image of this administration, rather swayed the confidence Nigerians have on this government, which image has nosedived, and needs to be improved for the benefit of this administration.

Jonathan and women empowerment By Jummai Calebs

Continued from last week What precisely accounts for President Jonathan’s passionate drive to transform the lives of Nigerian women, and improve their welfare and opportunities? Part of the answer is that the President is married to a remarkable woman, Dame Patience, who is endowed with some of the greatest human attributes, and who is a natural mobiliser of women. The President has, in his private and public life, benefitted immensely from his wife’s virtues. It is generally acknowledged, for instance, that it was Dame Jonathan’s mobilisation efforts that secured Jonathan the massive votes of Nigerian women during the

2011 Presidential election. The 2011 experience was enough for Jonathan to consolidate his faith in the qualities of Nigerian women. He did not entertain any doubt whatsoever about their character, capacity and competence in playing any role in the land, whether political, technical or administrative. That is the reason behind Jonathan’s Policy of Gender Equality and why, as some Nigerians would say “the President has surrounded himself with women, and entrusted them with some of the most critical and sensitive positions.� The good thing is that Jonathan’s confidence in Nigerian women has not been misplaced. Some of his administration’s greatest

achievements, since he came into all over the country. Again, this office, have been in ministries, monumental feat was achieved parastatals and departments by yet another woman, Mrs. manned by women.

By 1992, when Nigeria took its last loan, things were looking bleak and the country asked OPEC for a larger export quota so as to generate more revenue.

spends on subsidizing the sector which runs as high as $1.5 billion annually, and can consequently use the resources freed up to handle the socio- economic and welfare needs of the Nigerian people; boost in Foreign Direct Investment to the Nigerian economy and reduction in transportation costs of products and people. The Nigerian government is aware that it cannot face the problems of the downstream sector in isolation, and is well aware of market. It is possible that in the short term, unemployment may arise due to price increases and the & ' W 'Ă? this will be done by investors who Ăƒ ' they acquire control. An analyst observed that “Countries which governments play dominant roles in terms of both ownership and intervention are also likely to have highly regulated labour markets. Hence, a reduction in government ownership without the simultaneous liberalisation of the labour market will lead to increases not only in temporary but also permanent unemployment.â€? Nigeria’s programme of deregulation, liberalisation and privatisation remains controversial. Part of this controversy is ideological. There is a core of intelligentsia which is inclined towards socialism. And despite the obvious failures of the government, the people, who are in academia, media, labour unions and elsewhere, still believe in the role of the government being the producer, employer and regulator. Part of the controversy generated by the privatisation saga is that of vested interests. There were and still are many members of the political elite who depend on the privileges and handouts from state-owned enterprises to take care of their dependents and large numbers of hangers-on. They are always opposed to the privatisation agenda. Also, an abrupt removal of subsidy may cause dislocation to price of petrol because with high demand and inadequate supply, the price would sky rocket, leading to labour strikes and chaos. This is a situation non democrats may capitalize on take over governance, using the threat of insecurity to justify their actions. Analyst also believe the general public suspects that not all of the privatisation agenda has been carried out in an open and transparent manner, and also there has been political interference (leading to reversals of some already privatised company), lack of transparency corruption in the implementation of some privatisations activities in telecommunications, petrochemicals, steel, aluminum and other industries.

to pursue the privatisation of the downstream sector agenda to its logical end, and along the way, draw lessons regarding what has gone right or wrong, particularly as regards transparency as well as using these lessons to conclude the privatisation of the remaining public enterprises, thereby improving the regulatory framework of those sectors now in private hands.

ry season farmers in Gamawa Local Government Area of Bauchi State have commended Rep. Madaki Gololo (PDP-Gamawa) for providing inputs to his constituents. Malam Abdullahi Usman, the Chairman, Rice Famers Association of Nigeria (RIFAN) in the area, gave the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Bauchi. ``Our farmers are interested in dry season farming, but the issue of inputs has remained our greatest challenge. ``We cried out to the member and he supported us with 187 irrigation water pumps and also dug 187 washbows in various clusters across the local government area.’’ NAN reports that a wash-bore is a locally made borehole produced manually. Usman said the support would boost dry season farming programme which currently engages many youths in the communities doing all kind of jobs on the farms. He added that the inputs would go a long way in strengthening the Federal Government’s dry season farming programme which he described as a people-oriented scheme. On his part, Malam Yau Abdullahi, the Chairman, Zingiwa Rice Farmers Association, also told NAN that 12 wash-bores were dug and 12 water pumps distributed to farmers in Zingiwa rice cluster, courtesy of the lawmaker. ``This is a clear indication that Gololo is a true representative of his people whose doors are widely open to listen to the plight of the people he represents.

Solid minerals, alter native to oil With the ongoing national discourse on repositioning the nation’s economy to reduce its over dependence

springboard for steadier, sustainable growth and development, it is being canvassed that the promotion of solid minerals as a veritable strategy towards economic

encouraged. ABIODUN AWOGBEMI writes.

F

or some years, the Nigerian economy has depended on proceeds from the sale of crude oil, at the expense of other sectors such as solid minerals and agriculture, which have been the mainstay of the economy as well as the highest employers of labour. Solid mineral sector in Nigeria, according to stakeholders, could help to combat poverty through job creation, and set Nigeria free from overdependence on crude oil which has left the country at the mercy of the West, particularly the World Bank, which dictates economic policies for Nigeria. Stakeholders stressed the need for Nigeria to strengthen the age long solid minerals with the appropriate policy and enabling business environment so that private organisations can key into the sector. There are abundant mineral resources in the country; while some put the number at 34, others said 50 and many others believe that it could be more. According to an analyst, Adeola Adekoya, solid minerals could be one of Nigeria’s major economic breakthroughs. The sector over the years has been plagued by deteriorating infrastructure, unstable power supply, uncertain government policies and overdependence on oil, but given the huge amount of capital required for operations and the long-term nature of its projects, investors cannot be blamed for thinking twice before investing in the sector. According to Adekoya, the tin mines of the Central Plateau region around the city of Jos, and the coal mines around the southern city of Enugu had been opened up by the late 19th Century. But tin production is now down to a trickle while coal exports slumped from a peak of 3.2 million tonnes per year in the 1970s to nothing within two decades as successive administrations shifted to the boom of oil exploration. ! ~ & (2003), proven reserves of good quality coal, low in sulphur and ash are put at about 2.75 billion tones. Deposit of iron ore is estimated to exceed three billion tones. Bitumen reserves put at over four billion tones are nearly double the known reserve crude oil. The deposits of gold and other gemstones including sapphire, aquamarine, emeralds, topaz, tourmaline, citrine, amethyst are said to occur in viable > & the country. In addition, there are industrial minerals, such as barites, bitumen, kaolin, gypsum, salt and iron ore, among others that could bring substantial foreign earnings for the country. The Riruwai mining area in Doguwa Local Government Area of Kano State has large deposits of columbite, granite, copper, zinc, lead and uranium. There are evidences of = × E \ Karaye and Shanono Local Government areas.

Local miners There are also vast deposits of Silica sand in \ W € = & & ! W ! “It is sad that the nation has moved from agro- based to a mono – cultural economy. The consequent over dependence on oil has & ' ' extension, the socio- economic wellbeing of Nigerians. He was however, optimistic that there is hope for Nigeria out of the grip of solid minerals. Adekoya said the development of the solid mineral sector or any other sector of the economy, will promote economic activities through investment, employment of resources, increased output, and enlarged aggregate demand. Another stakeholder, Mrs. Bamidele ! for job creation, foreign exchange earnings, domestic production and consumption, tax & ' from dependence on oil. It can contribute up to 3 percent of Gross Domestic Product and employ millions of people; moving most of them to middle-class status. Adenrele said due to the under development of the sector it has led to a situation whereby Nigerians import minerals such as barites, salt and iron ore that are available in the country, leading to government’s lose of substantial amount of foreign exchange that could have been used to develop the country considering the demand for solid minerals in the global market. She however, advised the Federal Government to license private sector operators, provide accurate geological information for

The mineral is used as raw materials in the production of cement, plastics, rubber paper, paints, ink, insecticides, food additives, chemicals, pencils, detergents, textiles and drugs among others

them and recognise the small scale artisan, even the so called illegal miners with supports and regulation, empower them as well as incorporate them into the value chain of mineral production and marketing. The solid mineral sector will provide viable prospects for mining, mineral processing and the manufacture of a host of intermediate raw materials for local industries as well as for foreign exchange earnings. It will present the opportunity for diversifying Nigeria’s hitherto petroleum-dominated economy, and help curb the growing level of unemployment, move rural miners into middle class and reduce poverty. The Organised Private Sector (OPS) has posited that the ability of a nation to generate foreign exchange determines the strength of the nation’s currency, and of the economy, especially where the resources are diversed, and not a mono as in Nigeria. The industry expert said there should be robust advocacy and awareness campaigns on the vast potentials of Nigeria’s minerals by the three tiers of government and other relevant stakeholders on continuous basis, through workshops, seminars, road shows and conferences. There are many factors in favour of the solid minerals sub-sector in Nigeria, among which is the diversity of the metallic and non metallic minerals; international investors are prepared to bear exploration costs, and risks a favourable policy framework. The new national solid minerals policy of the Federal Government which replaced the old ! ! competitive environment for solid minerals development. The availability of international technology market, low cost mineral production processes which if properly sourced and assembled will minimise production costs, thereby ameliorate the impact of falling mineral commodity prices. Moreover, the deregulation of the mining sector under the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council (NIPC) Decree 1995 allows for 100 percent foreign ownership of mining operations and other related enterprise. Furthermore, free reparation of capital ‰ W & ! available through several agencies. These include the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) of the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) which funds mostly private sector activities, and the International Development Association (IDA). Most capital projects in the mining sector have been abandoned by successful government due to lack of funding as many contractors have not been paid. Unfortunately, & projects as poor funding and low level of activities are demoralising stakeholders. The President of Miners Association of Nigeria (MAN), Alhaji Sani Shehu, has called on the government to take the issue of mining in Nigeria serious as it brings more foreign exchange earnings than crude oil.

Business & Economy Dog sold for $2m in China

ATM: Good & bad sides I of cash dispensers Automated Teller Machine (ATM) was designed to enable bank customers have quick access to their cash, anytime. The introduction of the machine into the Nigerian banking system was hailed by Nigerians as a relief from the long queue in most banks. In recent times, many Nigerians have had experiences contrary to the purpose for which it was introduced. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

A

utomated Teller Machine was introduced into Nigeria banking system less than 10 years ago, as part of the banking reforms the country undertook in the early days of 2000s. The machine has assisted bankable Nigerians to access their funds any time of the day, and at any location in the country where banks are found even if it is not the bank the said customer transacts business with. In recent times, however, the machine has been discovered to have inherent problems, which many users seem not to be aware of. An insurance executive, Mr. Oshoma Sylvester, told Saturday Newswatch that ' of ATM card could boast of, there are many problems inherent in the usage of the machine, which many people do not know. He said the machine could seize the customer’s ATM card at a time he is seriously in need of cash, adding that when that happens in a third party bank, it would take a long time to retrieve. This is because the card is made to crisscross both banks’ headquarters before it arrives at the customer’s branch. This process might take a long time. More so, the machine might disappoint the customer when he urgently needs cash. He added that some smart & !' have devised ways of generating numbers of other people’s ATM cards, which they use to steal money from unsuspecting customers; a development that has made many people lose huge amounts of money to ATM thieves. Another respondent, Mr. Goroye Adewale, disclosed that the introduction of ATM makes people to spend more money than usual, as there is immediate access to cash at any time of the day. Adewale said fraudulent bank ! [ pin code and steal money from the ! ' W have been caught conniving with some fraudsters to steal money from

bank customer’s account. He added that the issue of network problem could frustrate users of ATM & ! ! money when they urgently need it, especially during the weekend or public holidays. According to him, much as ATM has many advantages, one inherent danger in the use of the card is the fact that sometimes the machine would not just dispense the required cash, only to do so when the customer has left the spot. Goroye said: “Sometime ago, I V\ ' some cash at the machine. I called & ' and asked them to keep the money for their bank. Some Nigerians would have pocketed it, while the fellow who owns the money would be debited against an amount he was not paid. Many people have lost money in this fashion to the failure of the machine�. He also recalled the various ATM

The built and location of ATM machines prevent some of the bank’s customers from having access to the machine. The disabled, the blind, the dwarf, the seriously ill and many others are not able to use the machine. These people have to give their pin numbers to other people they trust to help them cash money from the ATM

fraud cases in time past which led to many bank customers losing various amount to ATM fraudsters across the country. He added that many Nigerians are of the view that bank workers connive with ATM’s fraudsters to steal their customers funds. He added that police have nabbed ' W[ in ATM’s theft cases, lamenting that many people have lost various amount to ATM usage. Saturday Newswatch also sought the views of those who could not access the ATM because of their disadvantaged position. This is because the machine is placed higher than where the hands of some disabled bank’s customers could get access to. Mr. Adewale Orimolade, a bank customer, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch, listed those who are not able to access ATM service to include the blind, dwarfs who cannot use the machine because it is placed higher than them. This inadequacy could make them disclose their pin numbers to their loved ones if they have ATM cards. Orimolade also said critically ill people who cannot get out of their sick beds will have to give their pin numbers to their loved ones to help them in transaction. The same is applicable to illiterates. “The built and location of ATM machines prevent some of the bank’s customers from having access to the machine. The disabled, the blind, the dwarf, the seriously ill and many others are not able to use the machine. These people have to give their pin numbers to other people they trust to help them cash money from the ATM�. Other Nigerians who spoke to Saturday Newswatch contended that despite the inherent dangers of ATM usage, the introduction of machine is a welcome development. They said access to cash in emergency situation has saved some people of embarrassing situations, adding that despite the challenges, the service has come to stay in the Nigerian banking sector. The stakeholders however, called on the management of banks to take steps to address complains associated with the usage of the machine. Also, they called on the banks to treat complains about the machine usage promptly. ' local banks for being too slow to treat complains on ATM issues, as some say it takes up to two months for some ATM related complaints to be treated

' W Analysts further said that the ATM service has come to stay in the country’s banking sector, as many Nigerians no longer waste precious time in long queues with ‘tally

[ & ! They also appealed to local banks to emulate banks in other climes where fraudulent ATM’s practices have become a thing of the past, as owners of the cards can sleep with their two eyes closed.

Curbing corruption in banking sector Banks are safe places to keep money and other valuables. The institution also creates credit lines to customers with adequate collaterals. Consequently, bank staff are expected to be men/women of impeccable character. But events of recent years have given many bank customers cause to worry, as local banks have been accused of promoting corruption

sharp practices. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

B

anks are places their promoters provide for people to keep their funds and important valuables, and credit facilities to loan seekers who have adequate collaterals. Previously, workers in the banking institutions were people of high integrity and impeccable character. It was a way of assuring depositors that their hard earned cash and valuables were in safe hands. However, in recent times, Nigerian banks and their top officials have been accused of either promoting corruption, using their banks to aid advanced free fraud aka“419� , outright money laundering by highly placed Nigerians or stealing of their customers’ monies as have been reported recently. Also, some local banks have been alleged to aid politicians to fleece their states or their ministries tax payers’ money. Speaking recently in Lagos, a retired banker, who was a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) and now an industrialist, Oba Otudeko, bemoaned the goings on in the banking sector in Nigeria. Otudeko, chairman of First Bank of Nigeria Holden PLc, disclosed that hitherto, bankers were people of integrity whose words were their bond; who did not indulge corruption and sharp practices. He bemoaned the situation today, where workers in the banking sector are just after money, and no longer keep

Okonjo-Iweala promises. In his words: “In the time past, bankers were people of high integrity. Bankers in the past honoured their promises. Their words were their bond. What we see today is in sharp contrast to the situation in the good old days.� He charged bankers to keep their words at all times, as trust and confidence are key in the financial institutions, the world over. According to him, “we need to have confidence in our financial institutions. Our words should be our bond. Bankers must keep their promises at all times.� A retired banker with the former Allied Bank Limited, Mr. Ibeabuchi Odor, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch recently, attributed the menace of corruption in Nigeria banking sector to the craze for wealth

In the time past, bankers were people of high integrity. Bankers in the past honour their promises. Their words were their bond. What we see today is in sharp contrast to the situation in the good old days

and materialism by the Nigerian society. Odor, who was a fellow of CIBN before his retirement from the banking sector in the late 90s, blamed those who put pressure and financial demands on banks’ staff as the main reason many bank workers indulge in sharp practices. In his words, “Many Nigerians expect bank workers to be rich. The moment they know that you work in a bank, they will continue to demand money from you. This is one reason some workers indulge in one form of corruption or another to meet the high expectation of the people.� It would be recalled that the suspended Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, was alleged to have indicted some highly placed bankers for helping politicians to loot funds out of the country. The suspended CBN governor views is shared by many financial analysts, who have consistently alleged that politicians are been aided by the local banks to steal the country’s funds on a continual basis. It would be recalled that in 2008, seven bank managing directors and their entire managements teams were booted out of office by CBN over corruption and mismanagements, while some top banks chiefs are been tried for running down their banks. It is hoped the local banks would emulate banks in other climes where corruption is not the rule, contrary to what is obtained in the country today. Stakeholders in the financial sector are appealing to the managers in the banking sector to properly manage their banks, in order to safeguard depositors’ funds in their custody. We appeal to the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to properly regulate the local banks, and sanction erring banks and top bankers who indulged in sharp practices as corruption in the country’s banking sector is giving the country a bad name. Some top politicians have been nabbed abroad over money laundering allegation, as a former governor is currently serving a jail term abroad. It was alleged that the former governor used the banks to siphon the money. The days ahead will show if the authorities would be able to combat corruption and other sharp practices among bank workers, or if the local banks would remain a den of pen robbers which regular

The team leader said the enforcement would continue until tax payers imbibed the culture of voluntary tax compliance, adding that tax evasion was a criminal act. She reiterated that tax payment was a civic responsibility of every citizen, adding that the proceeds were being used by the government to provide infrastructure. ``Tax payment is a civic responsibility of everyone because that is the only way government can provide the necessary infrastructure for. ``It is also the means government uses to improve their standard of living,� the team leader said.

ong Kong, which means Fragrant Harbour, and alternatively known by its initials H.K., is a special administrative region of China situated on China’s south coast and enclosed by the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea. The city is known for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbour. With a land mass of 1,104 km2 (426 sq mi) and a population of over seven million people, Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Hong Kong’s population is 93.6% ethnic Chinese and 6.4% from other groups. Hong Kong’s Cantonese-speaking majority originate mainly from the neighbouring Canton (now Guangdong) province, from ' & _ Communist rule in China from the 1930s to the 1960s.

Boko Haram: Time to look beyond Nigeria – Activist Barrister Usman Fari is a well-known Kanobased legal practitioner and human rights activist. He spoke with TED ODOGWU in Kano, proffering solution to the lingering crises in the country. To Fari, the incessant Boko Haram attacks leave much to be desired, and he would want major stakeholders, including law enforcement agents, to extend their dragnets in the search for the perpetrators. This is in addition to his support for the ongoing national confab, which he said

to the challenges confronting the country. Excerpts:

A

re you in support of the North participating in the national conference? I support the North participating in the national confab because it is a forum whereby topical or sensitive national issues are to be discussed. There are four components as far as the Nigerian nation is concerned - you have the North, South, East and West. So, as one of the components of the nation, you have to ' & because sensitive national issues are to be discussed there. I don’t understand why the North Do you share the view that the national confab will end the same way as previous ones without achieving its aims and objectives? I may accept that view because, looking at the way things are going in this country, you can rely on some antecedents to say that it is true or not. It depends on the will of those in authority. If they wish to implement the recommendations of the confab, they can forward them to the National Assembly for approval and be made part of our laws, or they may think of amending the constitution for the recommendation to be part of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. So, it depends on the will of those in authority. What I mean is that the recommendations can be taken to the National Assembly for consideration so as to determine whether the recommendations made by the confab can be made part of our laws and whether we need to amend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in order to incorporate them. Do you share the view that what Nigeria needs is a sovereign national conference (SNC) and not just a national conference? + point, because we have a National Assembly in place as well as an elected President, governors and what have you. When you are talking of a sovereign national conference (SNC), you are talking about a body that will be above the government of the day and

the legislature, which cannot happen because there is already a government in place. In my own view, you can only have an SNC when you don’t have a government in place - may be in a state like Somalia when there was no government in place. In Somalia, you can have an SNC in order to have a legitimate government and put a leadership in place. But here in Nigeria where you have a legislature and leadership in place, you do not need an SNC because it will not have a legal basis. An SNC may decide tomorrow that there should be no constitution of the Federal Republic, no President, no Senate and others, and such would be binding on Nigerians. What do you think is the solution to the crises confronting the country, particularly that of the Boko Haram insurgency? I think the problems or crises we are facing in Nigeria do not need any talking or conference but action. You need not convene a meeting or have a forum before discussing how the problem of Boko Haram or the problem of corruption in Nigeria, kidnapping, armed robbery and what have you can be resolved. You only need to take necessary and decisive actions. Also, I would have no objection whatsoever if the Federal Government can go into dialogue with the Boko Haram insurgents and grant them amnesty, like the Niger Delta militants if only they can surrender their weapons and submit themselves and engage in a peaceful negotiation on how to Do you subscribe to the view that the problems of the Boko Haram insurgents are similar to those of the Niger Delta militants? I do not agree with your submission that the Federal = ! ! unseen enemy as the insurgents +& ' ! ! ! an unseen enemy, why is the ! ! ! � Prior to the invasion of Borno State, the insurgents were in the metropolis. But now, they are no longer to be found within the

Fari Maiduguri metropolis as they have spread out to the hinterland. That means that one should know how to locate them in the hinterland as the problem is now in the bushes etc. However, the security agents should spread their dragnets beyond the shores of Nigeria to border towns from where the ! ' on terror missions. The Nigerian military has what it takes to overrun the neighbouring countries from where these insurgents invade the country to wreak havoc. The Nigerian ' & priority beef up surveillance on the border towns if it is sincere in its mission to contain the terrorists and block their access to the country. When your enemy is unseen, you cannot identify him; it means '

! the government is insisting that ! ! W ` Ă? means that the government W ` ! ! !

security agents should spread their dragnets beyond the shores of Nigeria to border towns from where the insurgents 4$56"7#"8 "/8 country on terror missions

them. So, the idea of government insisting that Boko Haram is ' mind, not logically conceived. Since venturing into the legal profession, what would you consider as the most challenging case you have ever handled? Well, I have been handling ' know, in Nigeria, we are always concentrating on pure practice of the law and don’t need to before you practice. You can see a private lawyer handling + ! & not restricted to a particular case. For me, I do not want to ! ! &|! do not want to insist that I have of law. Presently, I am more engaged in human right cases. Recently, there was the case of one Uchechukwu Aja, who was arrested in Kano and detained unlawfully for 10 years. In my capacity as a human rights ' + application for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights and at the close of the day he regained his freedom. Also, his detention for 10 years was declared unconstitutional and illegal and was awarded damages in the sum of N5 million. I also pursued the case of one Rilwan Adam, who has been in detention for eight years unlawfully. Now, he has been released and the sum of N1 million in damages was awarded in his favour. Besides, I am handling another case, involving one Innocent Okoronkwo, who was in detention for 14 years in Kano without trial but has now

' & + his case, he was released, But now, I am pursuing the case as he has not been tried, not to talk of

to rise up, because he didn’t get the nod initially. Some of us considered for the assignment

' & delegates. I didn’t expect that from him because I felt bad + [ the list. I called Odumakin and Dr. Kunle Olajide and asked what to do about him because we regard the duo for their passion for the Yoruba race. We later discovered that Barrister Niyi Akintola’s name appeared twice as a delegate from the Oyo State government and on the list of socio-cultural organisations. And since Akintola is the secretary of the ARG and ' > ! were considering giving Olajide who also happened to be the secretary of the Yoruba Agenda one of the two slots for Akintola as well as wanted Osun to lead the technical team that would back us. All these were our _ & & inglorious press conference. What if at the end of the day the presidency refuses to act on the confab’s recommendations? I will like to commend the President for taking the bull by the horn to organise the conference and I would also commend him for allowing the zones to recommend their representatives by themselves. This shows that President Goodluck Jonathan does not have a hidden agenda. What he and the Secretary to the Federal Government have done showed that they have plain hearts about the conference. Everything is now left to the delegates because we still recall what happened in the 1979 conference; 1995/1996 constitutional conference and; the 2005 national political reforms conference by Obasanjo. The only two issues tagged as no-go-area by the President were well thought of because they have the tendency of tearing the nation apart. Aside the issues, we are free to discuss other issues. Majority of the people I have talked to about one of the | ' the National Assembly being subjected to referendum by Nigerians. said the President doesn’t want Nigeria to break during his tenure. This I believe no sensible leader would ever wish. I believe the outcome of the & ' ! President and the National Assembly because the world is seriously awaiting it, knowing that Nigeria has enviable human and natural resources.

He contested the governorship primaries and lost to Dr. Bukola Saraki in 2003. In protest, the former personal assistant to the erstwhile Minister of Defence, Major Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd.), }

T

he Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently held a unity rally in Ilorin with President Goodluck Jonathan in ‰ # " rally? The rally which was led by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the leader of our party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, was to signal that the party has expanded, grown and stronger than ever. It signalled our readiness to take over power in Kwara State. + & plan to reposition the state as the leading party in the state. Our initial purpose was to bring as many interest groups as possible together under one umbrella as people cannot unite without a common cause. And the common cause is to see how we can re-engineer the polity of the state in such a way that there will be democratic dividends, and also produce good quality leaders at all levels so that we could ! ! & time in a long while. A good quality leadership should ultimately be able to bring about positive change in the lives of our people. This is our vision, and what we have done was to bring as many people as possible together. The next phase would be to recruit members in every ward into the PDP in Kwara State. When we would have done our massive recruitment which we believe would be an exceptional success, we would do our congresses and ' | from the wards through the local government and state levels and then, we would do our primaries and hopefully be able to choose our _ !

in Kwara State as being anchored by Senator Bukola Saraki?

Well, the truth is that over the years, Kwara people have not been > W [ leadership in the state. But, the late Oloye Olusola Saraki was a skillful ` diplomatic. I think because Senator Bukola Saraki did not truly, really struggle to build the structures he rode on, because he did not understand the cost of building the structures, he took the people of the state for granted. Again, the problem with media propaganda is that when you repeat a lie so many times, people begin to believe it. Even the liar begins to believe his own lies. And the lies are that Kwara people are contented to follow one person; Kwara people [ ' 'Ă? they did not want good governance; and that they did not want good quality leadership. They just & ! doles out patronage at his whims and caprices. Most Nigerians even look down at the rest of us. Whereas the real problem was that the silent majority were too weak economically and ' ! ' could have done so if they were well mobilised. That was what I tried to do in 2002. I came on the scene, created awareness, mobilised the people and there was a real yearning for change. That was how Bukola won. The people of the state know how W ‡%%ˆ governor. People outside the state were cynical enough to say he won ' And we kept on hoping that change will come. Unfortunately, it is taking this long for the wind of change to begin to blow strong enough. What is remarkable is that, it is

} ? [ or on some other change agents. I think Kwara State has reached a breaking point with the over ! ! & Bukola. This is what has helped to

Dara create this situation. I would also like to say it is also because it is = [ ' ! ! ]= [ † Senator Gbemisola Saraki is W [ ' ' should be in the same place; but, the that she would rather be elsewhere than be with her brother. The same feeling that her sister has is the same feeling most of the political actors in the state have. So, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been a blessing to us in taking away Bukola from the PDP. They have helped those of us who have been the foundation members of the PDP. In fact, most & other parties were doing so out of frustration. The unity rally was a great day of re-union, a great re-alignment of forces and that is why it was really a revolutionary development for the people of Kwara State. We are all celebrating because we know that

because Senator Bukola Saraki did not truly, really struggle to build the structures he rode on, because he did not understand the cost of building the structures, he took the people of the state for granted

! ' € quickly put it on record that I have a personal admiration for the late Dr. Olusola Saraki. I respect his political ! + [ ! with him. I respect his capacity to follow through with what he believed in. But, I think Bukola, on his part, is just presumptions. ` [ > his father even did to hold Kwara State together for so long. So, this time, the game is up. This is not a moment of being against the Saraki family because the Saraki family is in fact with us in the PDP. It is a movement against Bukola Saraki. He is now fully isolated in Kwara politics as he is on his own. How do you assess the immediate past administration and its

" " and human capital development in Kwara State? As a reporter in the state, you W that a lot of lies had been told in the past. Take two-third of each ! [ away and leave only a fraction. A few of the people who dared to challenge the government were suspended, persecuted, ostracised and everybody was intimidated into silence. When many people were writing books about the scams that were going on in the name of agriculture and things like that - even the press became an accomplish in the deceit. This is because we know how the system works. Reporters here in the state have their families and their lives to preserve. When you get to a point where there are threats to your means of livelihood - and there were cases of correspondents who were made to lose their jobs by the people in Government House - so, many people became scared to tell the truth. But the truth is that

Kwara State which was created in 1967 has been stagnant. The last "ˆ ' than any in terms of quality service delivery. I believe that what has been running is a huge scam and we hope that the freedom that the people of the state are celebrating today is not just freedom from an individual dictator, but also freedom from bad governance, freedom from governance by deceit and propaganda; freedom from governance of monthly hosting of editors and sharing of money for people to sustain life. I believe that the possibilities in Kwara State are incredible. I can see that the infrastructure in the state is poorly developed. We have some of the worst roads in the country. But worse than that, I pity the people in Kaiama and Baruteen local government areas. It is like they & ! ' + saw recently that you were writing about the bridge linking Kaiama which is in a bad state. It was "#„ƒ + travelled on that road as a young boy in secondary school and that is how it still is today. In fact, with age, it has deteriorated and the people V ' ! ! ! to cross that bridge and we have a government in place. In my view, this is sheer wickedness. I hear that every government, during campaigns, promises to do something about the road and bridge. But it is not just about the road; it is about the of Baruteen and Kaiama – they & ' [ Ă? as if they are not part and parcel of Kwara State. If you look at the map of the state, you will see that they are like some afterthought in the scheme of things. I think a good government should know that land is money and that you cannot leave almost half the land of the state completely abandoned and unutilised. I believe that if we have a serious government, it would have discovered that, that area has its uses and enormous possibilities. That is not to talk of the more developed areas like Pategi and Jebba which could become some of the best for river-based tourism. ! % " " " state? It is like in most of the states of the federation; the problem is that people go into government with a belief that it is an opportunity for self-enrichment and not necessarily service delivery. Again, never mind what people say during campaigns. Continued on Page 81

‘Why APC’ll lose in Kwara’ Continued from Page 80

Few people have the discipline or integrity to maintain their original vision when they get access to power. I do hope that would change as we, in the PDP put structures in place to check those who are in government. It is because the people in government don’t have the will to do what is right. They never intend to do what is right. But, the way to change that is to make it costly and risky for anybody to misappropriate any government or public money. I believe that corruption thrives where the prospect of being caught and heavily sanctioned is limited. As things are today, people know that they are very likely to get away with stolen public funds in one form or the other. By the time you _ ' ' job or go to jail or ruin your name and career then people will know that it is a dangerous thing. I have always believed that when you really serve and build infrastructure, human resources and the economy, you would have created enough extreme for wealth for everybody such that even you or ' & But now, what we have are people spending a substantial fraction of public funds on private interests. I think it is unfortunate. But as I said, it won’t change by pleading with the people or appealing to them. It will change when a system is put in place that entrenches whistle blowers and there are sanctions for everybody. With that the prospect of anybody tampering with public funds being caught at anytime will be very high. You mentioned the issue of corruption. Can you substantiate these allegations against the opposition or the ruling party with " The fact is that nobody steals in the open. Funds are normally stolen with a lot of secrecy and these days, they even hire lawyers and accountants to cover their tracks while doing the stealing so that you cannot know that the stealing is actually deliberate. We are all part of the problems. I have already implied that the press itself was ' ! ' say that the press is guiltier than the politician. I used to joke with the people - when they say politicians are corrupt, I would say we have corrupt politicians and corrupt bankers. We even have corrupt pastors and clerics these days. So, we have got a problem with corruption in this country that goes beyond generalisation and all that. The way to tackle corruption is not to ask people to give proof of what they have stolen. It is an open secret that when we budget what we are going to spend to renovate existing hospitals, for instance, and you get

there and feel that the kind of work done is not commensurate with the money allocated, then, you know that something had happened along the line. But in some advanced countries, you have private investigators that would go all out. But they are funded and have the resources. They are professionals who will keep doing investigations until they get all the facts. It is a vicious circle. The masses are impoverished to the level that they don’t have the resources to prove anything. When thieves throw crumbs at them, they & ! crumbs than trying to investigate. So, let us just know that in our hands, in Kwara State and in other parts of the country, we need to make up our minds that this has to change. That is the way I feel we can W & Recently, the APC had its membership registration and claimed having registered about 380,000 members. How prepared is $ " " The APC in Kwara State did not register 100,000 members. I didn’t see their books but I know what happened in my ward. I know what happened all over the place because I have coordinators in every local government and I was ' W what happened and they said ' APC and that they were ignored. So, if somebody had sat down in one corner and compiled a list of names and says he has 300,000 names, I wish him good luck. The Yoruba say when a man has planted 100 yam tubers and he is claiming that he has planted 200, when it is harvest time, when he has harvested the 100 genuine yam

when a man has planted 100 yam tubers and he is claiming that he has planted 200, when it is harvest time, when he has harvested the 100 genuine yam tubers, he would have to look for how to harvest the additional 100 false yam tubers. So, if the APC is living in self-delusion, in the next election they will know that they have lost Kwara State

tubers, he would have to look for how to harvest the additional 100 false yam tubers. So, if the APC is living in self-delusion, in the next election they will know that they have lost Kwara State. Recently, no fewer than 20 PDP members in the state House of Assembly defected to the APC. What does this portend for the electoral fortune of the PDP in " First, you must know that if Senator Bukola had handpicked candidates who are his boys and loyalists during primaries, they are likely to follow him anywhere he goes. The same thing happened during the last local government poll. There was protest which has also helped us as many of them who felt cheated just moved to the PDP. You don’t expect that those who are favoured by Bukola or handpicked by him arbitrarily would not be willing to follow _ & the electorate. So, they are on their own as individuals and they are only hanging on there because they have assumed that they have preserved their seats. That was also what happened in Kano and Sokoto states. When you see all these handpicked but so-called elected people following the man who handpicked them and put phenomenon of the 22 lawmakers in Kwara State here. In fact, it would be a surprise if any of the Kwara lawmakers had refused to go. They were all handpicked in the same manner. Now, looking at the position of the law on legislators leaving the platform on which they were elected, I don’t think is ambiguous. I am not a lawyer but we read the same Electoral Act. So, we can make sense out of it. Where two or three parties have merged, any lawmaker who does not believe in the merger is free to join any other party of his choice because that is not the party on which platform he was elected. That means, many of the lawmakers of the component parts of the APC are, in fact, free to join the PDP without breaking any law. On the other hand, where a party is not involved in a merger and the party is not factionalised, if a lawmaker chooses to leave that party and go to another party, he would lose his seat in the legislature either in the council, House of Assembly, House of Representatives or the Senate. It is the same law and principle. So, those senators who want to leave the PDP should be prepared to face the possible consequences of losing their seats. But, don’t take my words for real because it is the court that has to W interpretation of that law. But my instinct is that the court will rule

in favour of the PDP not because of anything but because the law happens to be in its favour this time around. The irony is that those clauses were actually sponsored by the opposition parties when they were losing their members to the PDP. But now, it has become a blessing for the PDP. Anybody who leaves the PDP is likely to lose his seat but anybody who joins PDP will be on the safer side of the law. How does the PDP intend to overcome the problem of picking & " ! Again, you gentlemen of the press should not begin to give credence to beer parlour discussions. It is true that if party primaries are not well-managed they could tear the party into shreds but what our national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, has been saying is that he is not interested in imposing candidates anywhere. What President Jonathan has been saying is that he is not interested in imposing candidate anywhere. It is the tradition of the PDP to have free and fair primaries. Whether the emerging candidate is from Ilorin, Baruten, Oyun or wherever, becomes irrelevant. This is because it would have been fairly contested for and fairly won. Then, it is incumbent upon the winner to reach out to those who lost. This victory will be for all of us. It is a tradition in democracy that those who lost will count their losses by bargaining for something. When Mrs. Hilary Clinton lost to President Barack Obama in her presidential campaign, she did just that; they held meetings and she became the Secretary of State and even with the prospect of becoming the successor to Obama. So, we can always work it out once the primary is free and fair. When you have a situation where some external forces are trying to impose a candidate, that is capable of causing some problems. I do believe that the new direction at the national level, even in Kwara State would be to ensure that we have a free and fair contest; we can then enjoy our democracy and just

Politics move on. The zoning formula appears to be a major issue in the state especially as it relates to the governorship ticket. Don’t you think this may have & PDP if not well-managed in the build up to 2015? I have no doubt in my mind that if we chose a candidate from the wrong senatorial district, it can + ' politics because if a zone feels it is supposed to be its turn or it is the one that should be given a fair chance, I think it is likely that those ones who are aggrieved may do what they call protest vote for the opposition. So, the PDP has to be very sensitive about that and it must manage the issue carefully; otherwise, we may give the opposition cheap victory. The sentiment that it was the turn of Kwara South senatorial district is very strong in the 2011 elections. But politics is a game of possibilities and you cannot bank on such sentiments only. You have to negotiate, persuade, convince people and mobilise support for your agenda. So, hopefully, Kwara North also has the right to say it should be given the opportunity. Again, there are arguments for and against that option. But at this critical stage, it is in our strategic interest to pick a candidate from Kwara North even if that is where you have the smallest electoral votes. Again, when we had a central ! W ? Saraki, by his own weight, even if a candidate is picked from any obscure corner he could still work in such a way that the candidate wins. But we don’t have that any more. So, you have got to pick from the right place in order for you to win. Those who think that Kwara Central has population advantage to win have every reason to vote the PDP. Other zones have the V not likely to protest against the PDP if it doesn’t win the primary. Again, I don’t think zoning should be allowed to cause any division. That is why it should be negotiated and carefully managed so that everybody’s interest will be protected. It shouldn’t be a problem.

Daniel, Well, she is right. They are your kids as well as they are hers. You aren’t really +-+/01213456/786-9:6;80<6<-=1346/789697>:6-06 a parent. When she leaves for work, don’t make her feel guilty, don’t ask her to take the baby with her (she will if she wants to) and don’t text or call to ask when she 106?7@1346F7@:J6 F:/6-9:6;80<6?F1>K9:3L6 for heaven’s sake. I think you can handle 1<J6 7Q:U:9L61V6<F:6<978+>:61069:->>/64:21346 136/7896Q-/6-3K6-X:?<1346/7896+8013:00L6 6<F13=6/7860F78>K6+7<F6?7301K:964:21346 another help to mind your children.

Jane, I am so sorry about what you are going through right now. I can only imagine how you feel. Unfortunately, too much is at stake – you have been married for years, you have laboured in this @-991-4:56<F:36/786F-U:6?F1>K9:36<74:<F:9J66 786?-3Z<6 ;80<6Q->=6-Q-/6V97@6->>6/786F-U:6+81><67U:96<F:0:6 years. It wouldn’t be easy at all. I don’t know your religious beliefs but I would advise that you seek godly and wise counsel from either elderly people that your husband respects and fears, as well as elderly (preferably, female) spiritual leaders. If you are too embarrassed to talk to your leader in your place of worship, you may choose to someone else in another place. However, ensure that it is someone you can trust. An experienced married person would also understand what you might be passing through having seen life from all angles.

Let these people try and talk your husband out of marrying this second wife. It is easier to care for a ?F1K678<01K:6@-991-4:6<F-369836-6<7<->>/6K1X:9:3<6 family. On your own part, you would need to sort yourself out and focus on your children.

This isn’t to say that people have managed to successfully handle this situation without much problem. It requires so much work that sometimes, it neither might not be worth it. As for her stature, a woman is a woman – fat or slim. It really depends on your preferences.

When you say she comes from a polygamous home, are you marrying her family or her? Yes, I know the family would be involved but she is the main person involved so you should focus on her. True love covers a multitude of sins. However, if your mind is made up, move on and let her go.
