A

Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, and presided over by Justice Mohammed Yunusa, yesterday awarded N10 million damages against three the court termed negligent shooting of one Darlington Amaiham. The court, in its judgement on a fundamental rights suit instituted by the applicant, also granted all the reliefs sought by the applicant, stating that he was bound by law to do so as the respondents had failed to defend the suit since it was instituted. According to the judge, “The respondents had failed to enter any appear to show that they intend to defend this suit. “Since the court can only act based on the evidence produced before

established threat to his life by the respondents. The reliefs sought by the applicant are accordingly granted.� The applicant had approached the court seeking a declaration that the reckless shooting by the respondents amounted to a violation of his right to life. Amaiham had instituted the suit against the police on September 19, 2012 through his lawyer, Mr. Joseph Odeh, in pursuance

of his fundamental right. Besides, he had asked the court to bill the police N10million as general damages for the reckless shooting, which he claimed had incapacitated him. Amaiham in his suit also claimed N5 million as exemplary and aggravated damages, inclusive of the sum of N128,800 as special damages for his medical expenses. According to the claimant in his suit, on May 12, 2012, he was leaving the Maladino Night Cub in Apapa, Lagos, when he encountered some policemen shooting sporadically. “Upon enquiry, I discovered that they had acted as escort to one Captain George. Suddenly the bullets from the respondents hit the bumper of a jeep close to where I was, and I felt a sharp pain on my back and leg, and subsequently began to bleed from those spots. “I fell down and cried for help but later heard screams from several di had also shot two other persons who died on the spot,� he added. Joined as respondents in the suit are the Nigeria Police Force, Inspector General of Police (IGP), Commissioner of Police (CP) Lagos State, Inspector Usman Shehu, Corporal Alex Edomagbon, and Corporal Seun Adewale.

Landlords fault demolition of buildings in Kwara Bisi Adedayo, Ilorin

S

ome landlords of IleTuntun community at the Apata Yakuba area of Ilorin, Kwara State, have cried out over an alleged illegal demolition of their building structures worth N250 million by staff of the state Town Planning and Development Authority (KSTPDA). Investigations by Saturday Newswatch revealed that on September 9, 2013, staff of the authority demolished about 17 building structures in the community over alleged contravention of Town Planning Law No: 7 of 1984 as amended, saying their owners developed the structures without obtaining the statutory planning permit. One of the landlords Alhaji Sulaiman Badmos, maintained that the owners of the structures obtained approval from the town planning authority before erecting them, adding that they were surprised by the demolition exercise. Badmos who said the staff of the authority pasted

notice of contravention on the structures on July 3, 2013, added that none of the landlords was given notice of the demolition exercise on his or her property. The landlords also accused the staff of the planning authority of bias, alleging that some of the structures belonging to staff of the

authority in the community were exempted in the demolition exercise. They also denied contravening any law, explaining that the land upon which they built their structures is in Apata Yakuba and not the Budo Oso area which is owned by the state government. They

said they have evidence to support their claims. They, therefore, appealed to the state governor to intervene in the matter, considering their low economic status. They added that most of them struggled to build their structures, doing all kinds of odd jobs.

The landlords called on all relevant authorities as well as the state governor to assist them in their plight. When contacted, one of the % & ' who does not want his name in print, said it is only the state government that could stop the demolition.

B

enue State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Alex Adum, yesterday, justi istry by declaring that in the past one year, the successful representation of the state government in law courts has saved it from the embarrassment of paying claims worth over N1.3 billion. Adum disclosed at the on-

going accountability press taken the state government to court over a land matter for which they made a claim of N616 million, but the ministry successfully defended the government, and the plaintiffs lost the case. Adum also said in another case, Mrs. Leticia Chikwendu and 41 others, who were in the employment of the state government had dragged the government to

The Commissioner stated that one Mr. Maduka Nwaugwu and 22 others took the state’s Urban Development Board to court for alleged unlawful relocation from their shops, but God was on the side of the ministry which successfully defended the government, and the court refused to grant

the plaintiffs’ claim of N150 million. Egede Lanny Odah and two others, he said, took the governor of the state to court over the problem of salary arrears and general damages, claiming N100 million, but the staff of the ministry united to successfully defend government, and the claim was not paid to the plaintiffs. While stressing that time would not permit him to give all the details of the ministry’s successes, Adum said

enue State Television project which started eight years ago may not commence transmission before the end of the year because of a defective studio and inadequate antenna height. According to the state Commissioner for Information, Mr Justin Amase, Governor Gabriel Suswam has approved the release of N48 million for corrective work

Amase said at the ministry’s on Friday that the staff engaged three years ago have been receiving training, and that transmission would start as soon as the project is handed over to the state government. He said new transmitters have been acquired for Radio Benue at the cost of N351 million and added that the buildings of the state owned Voice Newspaper were being

renovated at the cost of N184 million. Amase said new printing machines have also been acquired for the state owned newspaper at the sum of N118 million, and announced that the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, has supported the Benue State Library with 50 networked computer for e- library services.

I’II be governor without salary – Ekelem Emmanuel Iriogbe, Abuja

A

governorship candidate in the November 16 Anambra polls with the Advance Congress of Democrats, Dr. Ifeatu Ekelem, has declared that he would not receive any salary when elected to govern the state. Making this disclosure yesterday in Abuja, the former U.S based medical doctor said there was a need to return the state back to its lost glory by solving the problem of unemployment, especially among youths. To this end, Ekelem, who was almost at the point of shedding tears because of what he described as the neglect the state has been subjected to by successive governments, said he would give N20,000.00 each to every unemployed youth when elected. This he said would be done with a caveat. “To solve unemployment in Anambra State, I will place every unemployed youth on a twenty Naira monthly stipend, and they will be required to give us 40 hours every week in the department of vigilante. “You are aware that insecurity has led to kidnapping, armed robbery and other vices while people that could develop the state have run away and those outside are afraid to come home. With these youths performing such roles of looking after security matters in the state, a conducive atmosphere would be created. “Also, under this scheme, the youths will be trained in

cialty,� Ekelem noted. The candidate also promised

the state to enable people of the state, noted for their educational prowess get access to quality education.

Fashola,Fayemi back decentralisation of minimum wage Emmanuel Ukudolo

L

agos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, yesterday called on labour unions not to oppose plans by the National Assembly to decentralise the determination of the minimum wage across the federation. He gave the advice while inaugurating the South West ; * Pensions Commission (NPC) in Ikeja. Fashola explained that the decentralisation of the minimum wage is the best for true federalism, saying states could not be compelled

Federal Government in a democracy. Workers under the aegis of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Wednesday protested at the Senate over the latter`s plans to remove the minimum wage from the Exclusive List. Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, who led the protest, claimed the plan amounted to politicisation of workers` compensation as it would empower the state governments to pay workers just anything. But Fashola said: “I think the time has come for us to speak openly and honestly on what we believe. We may disagree but we should try and agree at the end of the day.

“Labour union has a position on the decentralisation of minimum wage; perhaps, they would listen to another position which takes us ultimately. For us it is not who makes the law that matters, it is whether or not the Nigerian worker gets a fair pay for a hard job. Who makes the law, who has the responsibility to manage it only detracts us from the main issue.

“And, If we are decentralising the management of pensions and it is making sense; why can’t we decentralise payment of wages? This is a federation. Payment of wages shouldn`t be imposed on the states,� he said. Fashola urged labour to dialogue with the appropriate government authorities and reach an agreement over the issue, saying incessant

protests are inimical to development. Also speaking at the occasion, Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State said having a national minimum government should not stop

own in a democracy. He argued that the imposition of a minimum wage is not in the interest of labour as it might discourage

states willing to reward workers more from doing so. “If we are truly a federal entity, states should also have a minimum wage at the state level rather than the imposed minimum wage. “I remember that at the early stage of our independence, workers in the Western Region left the federal public service to work in the state public service because the salaries were higher.

Nwoye begins campaigns, says God’ll make me governor Alphonsus Eze, Awka

T

he Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the November 16, 2013 Anambra State governorship election, Mr Tony Nwoye, yesterday stormed Awka to commence his campaign. Received by crowd at the Amasea border town, Nwoye declared that God would make him the governor of the state

by November 16, since power belonged to God. He announced that he brought to them the gospel of unity within the party, stressing that henceforth there would no longer be factions within the PDP. Nwoye said that if God made Goodluck Jonathan who had no shoes at a point in his life the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, he was " him the governor of Anambra

State. According to him, it was time for All Progressive Grand Aliance (APGA) government in the state to pack and go, after failing to conduct local government elections and recruit fresh workforce in the state civil service. He debunked the rumour that President Jonathan had conceded Anambra State to APGA, stating that the President had insisted that PDP

must rule Anambra State . Nwoye said that the poor people’s resources hijacked by the APGA government in the past eight years must be returned to them when PDP takes the reins of power in the state. Commending the crowd for their steadfastness, he acknowledged that they were not rented because if they were, they would not have been with him for so long, even as he accused APGA of plotting to rig

Customs arrest 18 suspects, impound N162m contraband Emma Mgbeahurike, Owerri

T

he Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Federal Operations Unit, Zone C, Owerri, has impounded various contraband goods worth over N162 million and arrested 18 suspects for smuggling activities. This was revealed by the Area Controller, Victor Dimka while displaying the seized items before journalists in Owerri, the capital of Imo State. According to him, the suspects involved in the despicable and illegal business have been arraigned before a court of competent jurisdiction, just as the seized items had been sent to

the law court for condemnation, gazetting and outright auctioning to interested members of the public. He stressed that the seized exhibits about 30 of them which were impounded between the August 5 and September 17 included a trailer load of 11,334 3-litre tins of vegetable oil, 13 vehicles conveying 512 cartons of furniture, 210 bales of second hand cloths, 45 pieces of used tyres, 1,619 cartons of imported frozen chicken/turkey as well as 19 sacks of Indian hemp, 816 bags of 50kg rice and 168 bales of printed wax. Dimka listed the seized locations as Calabar, Benin, Agbor, Aba/Eleme and Onitsha. He however, expressed as-

tonishment on the reason behind the illicit business of smuggling which he stated has remained notorious notwithstanding government’s stringent measures to check the menace, the NCS area controller highlighted that in spite of the arraignment of the 18 suspects, his men are on the trail of those who sponsored them, and would eventually tion as prescribed by the laws of the land. Dimka commended the men of the State Security Services (SSS), NAFDAC, Police and the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON), for the existing synergy between them and his men which he said enabled

the seizure of the items in question. He assured that the NCS has been adequately empowered and trained more than ever before to meet its challenges, and cautioned those still involve themselves in the detestable transaction of smuggling to desist forthwith before the long arm of the law catches up with them, stressing that “every day is for the thief, but one day is for the owner of the house�. He also called on members of the public with useful information on smuggling to contact rity agencies for necessary action as enshrined in the law of the country.

# the Anambra governorship election on November 16 in the state is. Today marks the end of factions and having separate meetings of PDP in the state�, he said. He said that his function was to inform them who the governorship and deputy governorship candidates are while introducing Mr Tony Nwoye and Dr Amamchukwu Ezike, an Nnewi-based medical practitioner respectively. Emeakayi urged the party members who are loyal to Sen. Andy Uba, Nicholas Ukachukwu or any other person to switch over their supports to Nwoye, because henceforth there will be no faction in Anambra PDP. He challenged the electorate in this election that winning Anambra State is not the issue, but “winning your polling booths�.

Community revokes illegally sold lands Alphonsus Eze, Awka

T

he Uruebo Community in Nkwelle –Ezunaka , Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, has revoked all communal land allegedly allocated or sold by the past executive of the community, led by Tochukwu Anyakora. In a communiquÊ issued after the meeting which was attended by a large number of the members of the community, they declared null and void any agreement reached by any person or group of persons with Anyakora and his executive, saying that such agreement was not binding on them. The communiquÊ signed by the vice-chairman, Mr Ogugua Okeke, revealed that the Anyakorah-led executive has been dissolved, and is replaced with a Caretaker Committee, which has been empowered to revalidate the former survey plan of the community. They also mandated the Committee to also take every legitimate step to ensure that no one within or outside the community trespasses Uruebo land except for farming.

Enugu: APC alleges denial of security during primary elections Kenneth Ofoma, Enugu

T

he Enugu State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has accused the police of refusal to provide security for it during its local government primaries to select candidates for the November 2nd council poll. The party said despite informing the police about the event, held on Thursday in Enugu ahead of the polls in the state, they refused to provide security, and condemned the action. Speaking with newsmen at the end of the primaries, Dr. Ben Nwoye, the state Local Government Primary Election Committee chairman for APC, described the police action as unfair and quite unfortunate. Dr. Nwoye disclosed that he led other members of his committee to the state Com $ where they submitted their

Politics My fears for Jonathan’s presidency – Waku Controversial Benue State-born politician, Senator Joseph Waku, after almost a decade, broke his silence last week when he addressed some topical national issues particularly the storm ravaging the ship of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the party he claims to have registered at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). As usual, he was blunt and emotional, yet as a seasoned politician, proffered solution to the crises rocking the largest political party in Africa. Here are Excerpts by Akin Orimolade

T

here is this feeling that the Middle Belt of which you are a prominent member is making alternative arrangements for 2015, and that they have started shopping for a candidate to present. The story is that the Middle Belt is looking for a Christian, and a retired general is allegedly galvanising people towards this arrangement, which is not limited to a particular party. Are you part of the arrangement? If yes, what do you intend to achieve? 1] $ So what is the plan of the Middle Belt for 2015? What do you mean by Middle Belt? I mean the North Central. When you talk about the North Central, it is broad but when you talk about the Middle Belt, you can count the so-called Middle Belt agitators; and the Middle Belt has become commercialised; $ $ 1 become a commercialised group of disgruntled 8 talking about the North Central, I might become tempted to make a comment but when you talk ' 8 Okay, what’s the plan of the North Central for 2015? & = @ 1 & way you will present a North Central candidate based on North Central and expect that person to come out with a candidate that will be acceptable

PDP behind Nigeria’s problems – Waku Continued from Page 15

I agree with you but to my knowledge, there is nobody from the North Central wanting to be president. What about meeting to set an agenda? Meetings can be held without contacting me. There are various political parties. For example, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of which I am not a member, can be doing its own and I will not know. In the All Progressives Congress (APC) today where I am deeply involved, all our meetings are being done to try to harmonise and move into the rural areas for massive registration. You cannot have a candidate without having a strong membership base. So one has to be done before the other. That is not to say that individuals are not nursing their ambitions; there are lots of people from the North Central who will be nursing ambitions but such ambitions were mostly before President Goodluck Jonathan came on the scene. General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) and Senator Bukola Saraki, for instance, had ambitions but at this moment, I have not been contacted whether they still nurse those ambitions. Senate Minority Leader, George Akume, and I have been talking a lot and holding meetings but the purpose of these meetings is to stabilise the APC in Benue State, so that we can re-claim our victory which the courts denied us based on the 180 days law. We are working hard to ensure that such occurrence does not repeat itself. Because we have these objectives, it does not stop anybody, including himself, from having a presidential ambition; but it has not been mentioned to me. You are not a small fry in the politics of Nigeria. You may not be a card-carrying member of the PDP, but as a founding member of the party, what is your comment on the situation facing it today? I and others who left the PDP $ Y # coming and we were not hellbent on staying because of the loot obtainable there. We have principles that we needed to protect and we have children, and history tomorrow will vindicate us. I and many others refused to turn the other side when the objectives of the PDP were diverted for nonPDP members who crashed ž patronages, and got into government. They discarded the principles and ideals on which the PDP was founded. If you remain in there, they will want you to tow this line and for some of us who have spent several years in this game, with age catching up with us, J journey that you have been in for between four to six decades

and you fumble at the tail end - I will not take that. You must pay a price for it as you that God did not deny you. People of integrity in Nigeria hold you in high esteem. So, I lost nothing, I gained because what is happening today was not the way we planned it. Can you imagine that in 1999 we conducted elections without governors in various states? We got to the National Assembly and the PDP got a < I À had 66 out of 109 senators. People voted out of their conscience. That is democracy. & $ J Look at the last election in *J 7 by the PDP government in that state. The PDP candidate came out to say that he didn’t win the election. PDP should bury its head in shame. It is the cause of the problems in this nation because it has found government as an easy revenue-accruing venture; it ] J $ good services; it doesn’t care whether schools are shut and students are at home; it doesn’t care whether your son has graduated four or $ $ job - that does not interest the party. What interests it is who it wants should } people. If a governor hates your face, he will deny you becoming a councillor. Where is democracy here? I keep telling Nigerians that with the PDP, we have no democracy; we have civil rule. Civil rule breeds corruption, anarchy and dictatorial tendencies. How can 36 mature personalities, leaders, sit among themselves and cannot come out with a resolution? It is a big shame! The story in town is that President Goodluck is aware of all these problems and has reached out to you, asking you to assist him. How true is this? 1] $ time also. Are you saying that Aso Rock has not reached out to you? 1 $ J my opinion. It’s not President Jonathan, it’s about Nigeria. So what can be done to salvage the situation because any problem in the PDP is like an illness in a part of body? You are asking me what is the way out; but the PDP is not even remorseful. I watch the members in their jamborees with taxpayers’ money: when hospitals have no drugs, roads are death traps. I watch them stand before Nigerians, giving praises to President Jonathan. These people will not go to their homes because

< From Port-Harcourt to Enugu, and from Port Harcourt to Makurdi, are there roads? And

PDP should bury its head in shame. It is the cause of the problems in this nation because it has found government as an easy revenueaccruing venture; it doesn’t bother about offering good services; it doesn’t care whether schools are shut and students are at home; it doesn’t care whether your son has graduated four or got no job - that does not interest the party somebody, a political adviser, will stand up and sing praises. I’m sorry for this country. The only way out is for President Jonathan to interact with Nigerians. He should not lock himself up in that prison called The Villa. He’s been enslaved by some groups called “cabal.� There are cabals everywhere in the world and Nigeria is being ruled by one and the President has now aligned with them. A cabal is not a word to be interpreted in the negative aspect; it is a group of J $ a situation. We are more than 160 million Nigerians and people in government are less than two million. So, it’s a cabal that you and I trusted but there are some criminals

within the cabal that say: “I don’t want to be in this cabal,â€? criminals in the sense that they refuse to tell the President the true position of things. They go through the First Lady since they know her weaknesses and capitalise on them. Are you saying the First Lady is a problem too? She is not a major problem. Because if people can manipulate her‌ (Cuts in) Every human being has a weakness. She may be doing it with good intentions because they came to advice but they came with the negative aspect and she too, because of her level of intellectualism and political knowledge, cannot expand her contacts. They also cage her so that she cannot seek a second opinion. Like you said, there’s been a rumour that I have been contacted. Somebody may say there that if you bring Senator Waku, he will tell the President the truth and we may no longer get what we want; so I’m shielded out. This is the situation in most government houses in the entire federation. I stand to be corrected. It’s only in Rivers State that when allocation comes, the governor disburses it to the ministries. I know this $ Otherwise, if you want N10,000 and the governor has to approve it, how will the commissioner perform? And some commissioners do not see their governors for up to six months. They don’t hold any executive council meetings because they are always in Abuja for whatever reasons. I have had cause to talk to one commissioner to help me talk to his governor over the security of the state over three months, he had not seen the governor. As a joke, I asked him why he’s still in that

cabinet; he should quit. So it’s only in Rivers State that each and every commissioner has a responsibility; each ministry has its budget allocated to it. The PDP is the cause of the crises in this country and it knows it and its members are the only ones that can resolve the problems. What is the implication of this on the polity? Let there be free and fair elections; let there be internal democracy. You see what their new PDP has done? We planned to do that. In fact, we were tempted to do it during former President Oluisegun Obasanjo’s regime. So why didn’t you carry it out? Obasanjo was an intelligent and powerful leader. He was trained in the military; so he knows when to strike and when he will lose his troops if < positions at a time that he is not supposed to. He retreats and plans, then launches those < So what is the remedy? The remedy is for the PDP to do the right thing. What is the right thing? They know it. I’m not in the PDP again. The right thing is that both the PDP and President Jonathan himself should embrace persuasion. Politics is persuasion, not intimidation, not harassment and not exclusion. It is give and take, compromise. Nigeria is not going to wind up in 2015 if Jonathan becomes the president. But it has to be done with dignity and respect for one another; not for some hooligans to sit somewhere and issue threats; it will not work. Threats will not work; intimidation will Continued on Page 17

‘How we registered PDP’ not work; only persuasion will work. Most of the people around President Jonathan are not politicians; they are job-seekers. There are no electoral values to their names and they are big saboteurs to the President Jonathan administration and Jonathan himself. Jonathan won election not through the PDP but through Nigerians. If he doesn’t take time, he will lose that goodwill; his good luck will become bad luck. Already, the PDP has become bad luck. With the departure of the seven governors, they can no longer say their house is complete and I watch fools say nothing happened in the PDP; they are not even remorseful. As far as they are concerned, these people have gone so that we can have the opportunity to loot the federal treasury more. I’m a Christian; the Bible tells me that if you have a hundred sheep and you lose one, you don’t have hundred sheep anymore. You keep the 99 safe and go and pursue the one that you lost to bring it back so that you have a hundred sheep. In this case, not even one but seven, and you say nothing is wrong? Then you are out of your mind. I’ve refused to comment on this issue for personal reasons. What the seven governors did is laudable not because they are breaking up the PDP but it is a signal to all political parties. You can’t take people for a ride all the time. Other political parties will take a cue from it and avoid a repeat of what happened. I watched them; they don’t even think of God. Imagine my friend, the former Governor of Adamawa State, Boni Haruna, a very good boy who said PDP will rule for the next 50 years. He did not even think of death. In the PDP, nobody dies; God does not exist. How was the PDP formed and registered? It may interest you to know that it was me and the late Abubakar Rimi - may his soul rest in peace - that registered the PDP. Five of us- Prof. Jerry Gana, Iyorchia Ayu, Sule Lamido, Abubakar Rimi and I - rose from a meeting at MUSON Centre in Onikan, Lagos, and we went to Rimi’s private residence. Then we heard a rumour that a group of persons was going to disrupt the name, “PDP� by going to present an application for that name and that they were from Benue State. So the Protem Secretary then, Mrs. Bisa Rebecca, called me and said there was a group of persons led by Paul Unongo which had sent some young people to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to apply for registration with that name - whether it’s registered or not. The idea was to stop us from being registered because it was becoming popular. We resolved among ourselves there that Rimi and 1 J Y

A

ccord Party (AP) in Oyo State has boasted that it would win the elections in the state without support of the former governor, Chief Alao Akala. The party is holding several meetings with Akala considered as a factor in the state. However, a chieftain of the party, Engr. Abiola Olaniyan told Saturday Newswatch that the AP has solid root in Oyo state and as such does not rely on an individual to win contest. He said, “I told the media recently that with or without the ex-governor (Akala), the AP will win the local government election. The Alao Akala factor is not what we bank on. “If Alao Akala wants to partner with us, we would welcome him. But he has to agree with our programmes

Nobody will want to work in an unsafe environment. They will be more disposed to somebody who can guarantee their jobs. They will love a leader who would respect them and who they can work with because civil servants are the engine rooms of any political administration. “Government may have good programmes but needs people to execute them.

In 2011, politicians of various characters came to ask me to contest and I refused, but because of certain reasons that made me to refuse, some people came from the blues with no idea to contest. After the election which they won, some of them ran away. We later requested for a change and God gave us that change in Governor Alhaji Umaru Tanko Al-Makura who appointed commissioners, advisers, local government < development area sole administrators.

We’re losing sense of justice

C

ivilisation has many faces. It is in not only and structures. The greatest embodiment of a people’s civilization lies in intrinsic values. In Nigeria, we have billionaires, millionaires, great footballers, actors, renowned scholars and inventors; we have cars, and the most cosmopolitan of us live in many continents and thus are imbued with many cultural values. But it is in this same Nigeria that we have people who would descend on their fellow human beings and then beat them into $ of them! It recently happened

four innocent students of the University of Port Harcourt

were killed and roasted while people, including children, watched on. It is in this Nigeria that 40 students were wasted in ' the perpetrators.

ith each passing day, students of federal owned universities who are currently idle because of protracted strike by lecturers recount their frustrating, annoying and never ending sit at home since July 1 in a sorrowful countenance. Incredibly unbelievable! Four years in the education sector can make or break the future Nigeria. Four years represent thousands of graduates churned out. Does it mean the leaders do not have the leaders of tomorrow at heart? Could this be interpreted as the government not wanting the best for the nation? Can this action of neglect represent the level of empathy for the decaying education sector? These questions truly beg for genuine answers. Daily, we come across angry unemployed youths. These youths are tagged half-baked. Then you ask yourself: ‘what system did they pass through?’ Is it a system that lacks the basic amenities to impart knowledge? Inadequate lecture theatres, absence of standard libraries, shortage of lecturers, no practical, no laboratories, regurgitating of grandfather’s old notes, no research, forced purchase of regurgitated materials, money for grades, etc. This cannot be what you should get from a nation that has the vision of top 20 economies by 2020.

with the Abuja Declaration, Tyler, however, noted that having Africa carriers on the IOSA registry demonstrates that the Audit’s global standards are achievable on the continent, but recognized that this could be a challenge. On infrastructure, Tyler said that there is need for improvement of infrastructure in many parts of Africa, adding that aviation infrastructure built to global standard is one of the foundation stones for a successful air transport system.

Tyler, who said for every passenger carried in 2012, airlines retained about $2.25 or N400, noted that imposing further charges on the airlines would He therefore, proposed that governments

Mile 2/Badagry Expressway: Motorists, commuters’ nightmare Ayodele Olalere

Mr. Friday Osas, who works as a driver with one of new generation banks sees living in Okokomaiko as horrendous. Reason: Having a good night sleep is a luxury for him. To resume in good time, he leaves home as early as 4:30am, to embark on the horendous journey by public transport. “I get home not before 11pm every working day, and have to leave at 4:30am the next morning if I must get to

Business Interview

Bayelsa, Nigeria’s new investment hub, says Murray-Bruce I were on the road with an investor from South Africa, who is willing to invest. But can I quantify it in terms of money, No. In the next two years, Bayelsa would have more investments than you can imagine. We only need to look inwards and understand that an investor wants, aside from security, requisite infrastructure. So, the governor is making sure that we have the capacity and the infrastructure on ground. We are talking about the road to Agge and Oporoma. And we are trying to concession the Nembe-Brass Road, and reach the hinterland because we have lots of natural resources in those coastal councils, but they are inaccessible. Even the investors who are interested cannot access it. * Y & other states of the South-South have more infrastructures because they are older. But we are running fast to catch up, and when these investors see that we have established the needed infrastructure, they will say YES, we are ready. In two years, Bayelsa will not be same again. When investors come in, they will say this is a city that is alive. And once a city is alive, there will be growth.

Ms. Freda Ruth Murray-Bruce is the Director General of the Bayelsa State Investment Promotion Agency (BIPA), with the responsibility of attracting investors to the state. In this chat with UCHENNA NWAFOR, she explains the focus of the state government to include ensuring the development of critical infrastructure as a prerequisite to sustainable development and adequate incentives to attract investors. Excerpt:

W

hat is the mandate of Bayelsa Investment Promotion Agency (BIPA)? BIPA simply means Bayelsa Investment Promotion Agency. The agency is very important to the government. It was created by Governor Seriake Dickson, who appointed me as the Director-General. Bayelsa is an investment haven, and it is investment friendly, contrary to how it is portrayed to the outside world. The Governor has commenced a process of rapid human, infrastructural and environmental transformation, and we are determined to showcase our enormous potential. BIPA was created to facilitate and encourage investments into the state. The agency can be * is to promote the state to the outside world. Bayelsa is the glory of all lands because of the enormous oil deposit it has. We are mandated to ensure that the state is seen by everybody as investors’ haven and a place to be. That is one of the critical functions of the agency. Another reason is to showcase to potential investors that there is an agency of government that is prepared to facilitate investment proposals. In the past, people had plans to do business, but they complained of < L that hurdle. We address investors’ enquiries; any information they need about Bayelsa. An investor from South Africa, the High Commissioner for Trade and Investment, Mr. Massa, and I were on tour, trying to showcase the state. We helped them with logistics and the moment we acquaint with them, our job begins. We made sure that all paper works that needed to be signed are signed. We guide them in area of community relations and if they have any challenge, we address it. BIPA makes sure that any investor to Bayelsa State comes out successful. We work with them to get the company registered because we have strong relationship with Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC), Abuja. Is this not a duplication of function, considering what Ministry of Trade and Commerce Ministry does? Government considered specialised $ 81/ J speed. Our job cuts across every sector, and we work hand in globe with all ministries and parastatals of government. Every investor wants to ensure there is enabling environment because it is essential for their investment, and BIPA provides the platform. = $ + ? London, I made it very clear that they do not need to see the governor, that there are processes and agencies that can handle their proposals to a point where they will achieve their project. At the same time, the governor created Bayelsa Development Investment

Corporation (BDIC) to work in conjunction with BIPA. BDIC is the holding company for Bayelsa assets. If anybody is looking for a vehicle for investment purpose, BDIC is there. So, when they say we don’t want to work with government, we need a private entity, BDIC stands. Another critical thing that has been put in place is transparency. The intention of the governor is basically to < 1

J À BDIC, which is an investment corporation and BIPA which is an agency. When we $ BDIC for the paper documentation. This is because BDIC, though a government agency is private sector based. This is what we did with Infrastructure Bank when they expressed interest to invest in Bayelsa. We work together to make sure Bayelsa is covered. Whether we are 10 or 20 investment agencies in the state, the focus is to change Bayelsa State. I can assure you that we are not duplicating, but doing everything to bring in the needed investments. What is the investment package of Bayelsa like? And how well has BIPA been meeting with its assignment? Government is aware of the urgent need of power supply. In order to ensure that businesses that have high demand for power are adequately serviced, we are ensuring that power project will take the centre stage. It is very critical. We can undertake a kind of guarantee to ensure constant gas supply. Every day, we grow. Government will endeavour to guarantee energy supply based on the industries and the heavy duty machines they are bringing. We are also trying to work towards holistic incentive policies for each sector. So, in every sector, we ? now, we are working on case by case basis. D J } investors. We have departments for Education, Real Estate, and Oil and Gas. Everything is professionally done with accurate data and authenticity of prospective investor. We also write to all embassies because all the investors belong to one country or another. The best place to get genuine data on those who are ready to invest in Bayelsa State is to go to the trade } # feedbacks from the Trade Councillor of the Spanish Embassy whom we have sent a mail to because they wrote us via e-mail intimating us of Spanish people who are ready to invest, and that we should give them information. We were also contacted by the British High Commission, and a meeting was arranged with Peter Carter, the Deputy High Commissioner; we met with him about two weeks ago and it was a huge success. They are not only willing but are sending their

Freda

trade specialist to check and target all British company interested in doing business with us. All these are to make Bayelsa a great state. What volume of foreign investment are you expecting in Bayelsa in the next few years? We cannot tell at this time how much an investor is ready to put into the state. But I know it is a business decision that would be made after we have convinced them based on what is on ground. What Bayelsa owes the citizenry is to sell the state well and introduce an enabling environment with correct incentives. And once we have done

But we are running fast to catch up, and when these investors see that we have established the needed infrastructure, they will say YES, we are ready. In two years, Bayelsa will not be same again. When investors come in, they will say this is a city that is alive. And once a city is alive, there will be growth

How would you convince market women and youths in Bayelsa that the investment

That is one of the easiest things to do. We will tell them that with the arrival of investors and investments, there will be up to ten industries in the state. That automatically equate to more people coming in from both within and outside. And those industries will bring more people that are interested in

We can see that the governor have started using the improved funds to change the face of development. Markets will be rebuilt, and the market woman will have more customers accessing her goods. And the people will have access to her, and she would make 1 J J 1 À $ looking for job and the government which is determined to put in much specialization through partnership. Instead of roaming the streets, this partnership will create employment and change the lives of the people of the state. You might not see it now, but as far as I know, an investment for me could be someone bringing in a nice entertainment package. It is something that will meet everyone’s needs. # ! ¥ ! investment drive would make from the past

I told her that what I see in Bayelsa is the same as I have seen in Abuja and the London we all go to. So when I entered Yenagoa, the image could not go away.

< $ with the appointment of Mr. Chika Mordi @ DR = Competitiveness Council of Nigeria (NCCN). The President who recently launched the NCCN said, “This important step by the National Competitiveness Council underscores Nigeria’s commitment to rapidly transform the business environment and enhance productivity in Nigeria.� Jonathan had described the council as a critical catalyst for transforming Nigeria’s business environment, and this appointment is an important step closer to demonstrating that Nigeria is open for business. The council, which was inaugurated by President Jonathan earlier this year with Trade and Investment Minister, Olusegun Aganga as Chairman, has Tony O. Elumelu, Chairman of Heirs Holdings, representing the private sector as Vice Chairman. Other members drawn from Nigeria and the international community include Michael Porter, Aliko Dangote, Lynda Chalker, and Dr. Juan E. Pardinas, Director, Mexican Institute for Competitiveness. Aganga, a leading member of the President’s transformation team, said, ‘’We are pleased to have Mr. Mordi at the helm @ ] J ; demonstrates that he possesses the intellect, R = $ < global economic prominence.� Mordi will lead a strategically placed body, part of the Jonathan administration’s wider policy to dramatically improve the ability of local and international businesses to conduct and operate business in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and home to one of the largest global consumer markets.

is here too. I can only appeal to people to give us a chance. Our work is thankless, but we work hard because Bayelsa belongs to all of us. I am from Akassa, and I want Bayelsa to change. If Bayelsa has to change, it has to take contributions from each indigene. Allow us do our work and showcase the state to the world. How many of the local investors and SMEs are you bringing into the investment drive of the state? This is one of the recommendations the BIPA made to the state governor. We suggested that on every investment visits we make, one or two local investors should accompany us. We are working with the Yenagoa Chamber of Commerce. We try and know these people and build them up. We want to build them up to a level where an international investor is willing to invest in them. We can enhance their SME capacity and use joint ventures with high network individuals while enhancing local capacity.

These will expose them and make them gradually become active. What are the incentives on tax? Yes, based on the level of investment, certain investors would be given rebate. We are starting afresh. We are doing our best to put in certain incentives and policies to encourage investment. In the interim and where there is the need for rebate, it would be given. But it is not for everybody. If we don’t start collecting revenues from businesses and civil servants, it won’t be balanced. I think it should be both ways. Everybody who comes into Bayelsa, pays tax where they come from. It is not abnormal to tell them that they have to pay tax. What is the future plan for investors in Bayelsa? One of the great things we have as a result of our data base and trips is the list of people ready to come to Bayelsa. While we can capture some by general conversation, others, we need to invite and see in a forum. When we were in Geneva, we met the Saudi

Arabia Development Fund Group, and the gentleman who represented them said the moment Bayelsa is ready do an investment forum in the state, they can come up with as many business groups as possible, and are ready to come to Nigeria and do business. At the same time, a Swiss National has promised to visit this September with J Bayelsa for an investor tour. So, our next step is the hosting of the Bayelsa investment forum here in the state. It is a critical step of its kind due to the network of business interest and connections we are building. The people from all countries are so interested and thank God for the data base. # $ < to. We have created a data base in-house of investors. We have sectoral booklets on our strongest areas which include agriculture, aquaculture, rice, healthcare, manufacturing, energy, education, infrastructure, aviation and ICT. The governor is very interested in aviation, and we are focusing on ourselves as a tourism hall. We have natural mangrove,

We have put in place the best security system in the state. We have the JTF and others working with us to protect oil and gas investments in the state. We are working assiduously to ensure they are addressed. Another critical area of BIPA is to showcase to everybody the issue of security. Bayelsa State is now one of the most secured places in Nigeria. We have the Operation Doo Akpo with very advanced technology. Recently, the state government signed an agreement with Chinese company to install CCTV camera all over the state. If you come to Bayelsa, you are safe and secured, and we will guarantee your investment.

opulation wise, Ukraine is Europe’s seventh largest country.

Vasyliev hinted that powerful industrial and technological potential of Ukraine = $ in intensifying its industrial development, especially in the development of metallurgy, expansion of the electric power generating facilities network, and the development of transport infrastructure, food processing and agricultural industry.

The largest nuclear power plant in Europe, the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, is located 9 @ $ I power stations and hydroelectricity are the second and third largest types of power generation in the country. But there are brighter economic relations } $ & Ukrainian government is planning to set up a multi-million dollar vehicle assembly plant in Nigeria as part of its contribution to the burgeoning relationship between the two countries and which is also expected to compensate for the trade imbalance presently in favour of Ukraine, while reaching out to other West African countries. Mr. Vasyliev said the auto plant, which its modality is currently being studied by the Ukrainian authorities, when on stream, also aims at supplying vehicles to other countries of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and assist Nigeria in its quest for rapid socio-economic transformation. The value-added will among others include the provision of employment and technology transfer. The envoy said the planned auto plant is J between the two countries. He also said the

development of the Ukraine-Nigeria trade and economic relations is notable going by the stability and tendency for the growth in the volume of trade turnover because Ukraine considers Nigeria as one of its key partners in Africa. Trade between the two countries is in favour of Ukraine, which currently, does not import oil from Nigeria. According to the ambassador, Ukrainian authorities are anxious to correct the trend. Recent statistics released by the Ukrainian Embassy in Nigeria reveals that Ukrainian exports to Nigeria were characterised by low degree of processing.

Nigeria’s exports to Ukraine were mainly Î3 2 2 4 $ | 4 With the prevailing likelihood that the Nigeria/Ukraine bilateral trade is set to shoot up, it is pertinent that Nigerian investors get some tips on Ukrainian business culture. Bogartier, a Ukrainian newspaper company provides some cultural tips: ! ! ! £! �

Ukraine customs and traditions were created by being absorbed through the experiences of the many generations of people who have lived in Ukraine throughout its long history. Every new generation has created its own vision of everyday rules of life to follow, creating what we call today the National Culture. To understand the traditions of Ukraine culture, there are a few things you should be aware of. Traditions and customs vary regionally 9 & $ J

$ East and West Ukraine. Unlike people of most western countries, Ukrainians tend to express their emotions freely. Whether they are positive or negative, they are honest with their emotions. So, don’t be confused when you see it happening. People in the streets don’t typically smile too much. However you soon realise that an ability to form warm informal relationships is the soul of the Ukrainian national character. Drinking Drinking in Ukraine is a cultural phenomenon. It doesn’t mean that everybody can be considered as being an alcoholic; but drinking in company is $ + $ < for three is not considered excessive. Nevertheless, after this “normal portion� people have to “cure� themselves by drinking a small amount of alcohol the next morning. They call it “opokhmelitsya.� The Ukraine custom treats a person who is able

to drink a lot without falling down drunk as a respectful person. It’s called “he can drink.â€? Heavy drinking is customary in business < $ 9 ' closed while drinking together. This feature of Ukrainian business often causes some } $ are non-drinkers. Here is a typical joke about it. “Yesterday I was drinking with my Ukrainian business partners. I thought I was going to die ‌ Today they came to visit me and said we should “opokhmelitsya.â€? I thought I would die yesterday‌â€?

Recent statistics released by the Ukrainian Embassy in Nigeria says ...major exports to Nigeria include ferrous metal – 59 %, fertilizers – 36.4 %. Slightly increased exports were agricultural products (milk, eggs, and honey) machines and equipment. Nigerian exports to Ukraine were mainly cacao – 90.2 %, rubber – 2.1%, oleaginous fruits 7.1%

The People Ukrainians are traditionally familyoriented people. It is common for parents (or grandparents) to live together with their children and help them to raise their kids. This tradition was a necessity just a couple generations ago when majority of Ukrainians lived in the villages. Because of the tradition with the living situations, it is also a Ukraine custom that grandparents play a great role in raising children. They have a popular saying for this: “Children are our future.â€? Sometimes, parents and grandparents can sound overprotective, but without doubt, they try and do their best to bring children up as decent people. Ukrainians are well known for their hospitality. They love to invite people to their homes or visit the homes of their friends and relatives. Traditional Ukraine customs are to put the best food on the table and feed the guest once he has entered their home. But Ukrainian parties are not just about food, it is a long process with plenty of eating, drinking and conversation. In Ukraine, you will never see such a thing as militant feminism. The typical custom for the older generation is for the wife to do the cleaning and cooking, while the husband manages the “technical jobs.â€? However, this is changing with the younger generations, as they more commonly work around the home together, sharing their responsibilities.

Interview Education faces multifaceted problems – Prof Kolawole Professor Clement Olusegun Kolawole is the Dean, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan. In this interview with BISI ADEDAYO, he bares his mind on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, and also x-rayed the problems associated with the nation’s education system among other issues. Excerpt:

Education has come a long way since the country became independent 53 years ago. In fact, education Y independence when it was transformed

What can government do about the problems of youth empowerment/ employment that will meet the huge number of youths graduating from universities and polytechnics annually in the search for peaceful coexistence in the country? It is sad that we cannot provide gainful employment for the teaming youth that graduate from the country’s higher institutions in spite of the fact that there is a need to have them gainfully employed. The current level of unemployment and disempowerment in the country is embarrassing, and has to be addressed if we want to experience peace and development in the country. While we face the acute problem of unemployment, there is a vast uncultivated part of the country that ought to have been turned into farm < $ our youths can perform wonders.

Some Nigerians, including the immediate past Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqqayatu Rufai, have canvassed for a review of the country’s curriculum in order to improve its standards of education. Do you subscribe to this? There are many reasons the curricula of higher institutions have to be reviewed, and very urgently too. One is the need to address the problem of unemployment. The current curricula are too theoretical. ' be incorporated into the curricula so that our graduates will be armed with

Two, new courses have to be brought into the curricula to accommodate some of the issues that are very central to our development so that we can use education to address them. For example, the level of disaster that we R $ ž $ parts of the country would have been avoided if our people have disaster management knowledge and skills. So, reviewing higher institutions curricula is a welcome development. I strongly support the ongoing move to review our curricula, and would like to suggest that it be made a periodic exercise so that our education could continue to meet our aspirations. There were divergent views on the proposed scrapping of the post-UTME which is a criterion for determining who gains admission into tertiary institutions in the nation. What is your position on this?

Interview Problem with education is multifaceted – Prof Kolawole Continued from page 77 at the end of a session due to poor performance. I think there is nothing wrong in empowering universities to be fully responsible for the selection and admission of their students after JAMB has screened them in the spirit of federal character. 40 years after the introduction of the National Youth Service Corps § ¨ " $ towards ensuring integration among Nigerians, some people have advocated its scrapping, saying it has outlived its usefulness. Where do you stand on this? The NYSC scheme, which was introduced by Gen. Yakubu Gowon (rtd) in 1973, was designed primarily

This national service scheme, since its inception, has taken several of these youths across various states, tribes and local government areas of the country. These are places some of the people concerned would not have gone in the & $ Y for its establishment. I am aware of people who have married from areas where they went to serve, some who got employed and decided to remain in such areas, some who have made permanent friends and many more who have come to appreciate our diversities more because of their experience during the service year. There is no doubt that the scheme has achieved so much to justify all

We need more of such schemes in the country because they would help us to remain one. # ! Federal Government on policies that can improve Nigeria’s education sector? My advice to the government on the series of policies that are not working is to take time to think out policies before they are announced for implementation. We do not have serious problems with policy formulation in Nigeria. But we have very serious problems with implementing some of our good policies. So, government has to sit up, re-think its policies and put structures in place to ensure that such policies are fully implemented. The problem with education is not lack of policies that would have made it work. The problem with education is multifaceted. Government, therefore, has to carry out a major overhaul of the system and take the bull by the horns in trying to solve the problems in the sector.

There was a day I was coming from Badagry around 2am. I was coming with a customer and her goods towards Mile 2. The road was free, so I was speeding. Immediately we passed Barracks bus stop, just before Trade Fair, a big stick was thrown into the road from nowhere. I hit it and had to swerve my car. My car jumped to the other side of the road through a small space between the culverts that divides the road. I maneuvered the car back to the road. It almost somersaulted and as God would have it, no vehicle was coming in the opposite direction. I increased the speed and the tyre was making lots of noise. I did not stop until I got to Abule Ado and branched towards FESTAC Town, before I stopped. My car radiator was damaged and water was leaking. Even one of my headlamps was damaged. The customer I carried was shivering because she could not believe that we were still alive.�

Reasons APC’ll beat PDP in 2015 – APC Chieftain Amidu Adekunle is a grassroots politician with the newly registered All Progressives Congress (APC). He was a founding member of the defunct Alliance for Democracy (AD), later Action Congress (AC) which later metamorphosed into the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). However, internal wrangling within the ACN later forced him to move to the Democratic Peoples Alliance (DPA) in 2006 and emerged * + 2007. He was wooed back to the ACN with the responsibility of positioning the party in the Ikorodu division of Lagos State for 2015. In a chat with AYODELE OLALERE, the environmentalist speaks on the chances of the APC in 2015. Excerpts:

I

n 2007, you contested for a senatorial seat on the platform of the DPA but now you are in the APC. Why the criss-crossing? In 2007, I ran the primary election under the DPA. Before I joined the party, I was in the AC until 2006 when I could not get the nomination. I felt my leader (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) was not fair to me. I was angry. He begged me and appealed to me to be patient, saying that a decision had been made to return the incumbent at that time to the National Assembly. Well, I left and went to contest through the DPA. After the election, I went back to my root (ACN). I am now fully with the APC. How did you feel when you lost the Senate election in 2007? I prided myself; I could have been one of the best senators this country would have produced. Though I lost the election then, I have been making contributions to the Senate. I made a submission on revenue sharing formula to the Senate (Ken Nnamani) and sought to know why Lagos State was being marginalised when it comes to revenue sharing. I also made a case on why Lagos State should be grouped and have derivation fund on power supply. I stated that if the South-South can derive revenue from oil and gas, Lagos, Rivers, Cross River, Delta and some northern states where agrodams are located should also have revenue derivation. If you visit they experience environmental disaster. They deserve to have provision from the ecological fund. President Goodluck Jonathan should extend the same special < = $ Delta to Lagos State that takes care of the Egbin pipeline that transverse the Niger Delta through Lagos to other countries

like Benin Republic, Togo and Ghana under the West Africa gas pipeline arrangement. The Nigeria Gas Company also has its pipelines passing through our state. The Egbin power station is supplying power to the whole country. The turbine that generates gas and diesel to power electricity emits heat. The heat that comes from the power plant goes into the Ijede River which has changed the temperature of

: $ in that river. Fishermen have to go hundreds of miles into the sea 1 a case for that. I also made a case for those states that have sea ports like Lagos, Delta, Rivers and Cross River, stressing that they should provision from government. Heavy duty trucks and containers pass through Lagos roads. What has the Federal Government done to compensate Lagos State for all these? Therefore, those states deserve special revenue allocation. Without them, there will be no Nigeria. A country that is landlocked has to depend on another country to gain access to sea-based services. I made a case in a proposed bill on why Lagos State deserves to have a seafarer academy to train seafarers. Products of such an institution are the ones that work in merchant ships. They should have special training. The only school they have in the country is in Akwa-Ibom State. We are surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the Lagoon. The fair thing is for us to have the academy situated not only in the South West but in Lagos. We are being marginalised on that. On the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB), we have some of our lawmakers who don’t have adequate knowledge on the activities of the oil and gas < $ <

Some politicians, especially those in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), are of the view that the merger which produced the APC cannot work. They say the new party would falter during the choosing of its presidential candidate for 2015 because of personal interests of its leaders. What is your take on this? I want to take you down memory lane and salute our leaders - Bola Tinubu, Muhammadu Buhari, Shekarau, Rochas Okorocha and other leaders in the merger. The skeptics never thought we would get this far. They were saying by the time we get to the issues of logo and emblem for the new party, we would not agree. If you had listened to Tinubu on the day of the convention at Onikan, he had said that ‘it is very painful to leave a state for another party. ACN has six states, several senators and National Assembly members, but for the sake of posterity and democracy, we agreed and supported this merger’. Buhari on his part had valid votes of 12 million during the last election. If Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe had agreed in the First Republic when Chief Obafemi Awolowo had approached him for merger,

At that time, the National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) had a particular number in the election, Action Group (AG) had another and the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) had over 100. At that time, the Western Region was a trail blazer; it had television service before even France had. Chief Awolowo wanted to educate his people.

& you could play matches at night was the Liberty Stadium; it was built by Awolowo. We became the envy of others. Awo became a dangerous man because the oligarchy did not want their people to be educated and civilised. They were not even ready. Azikiwe and Awo were ready for independence in 1957 but the British pushed it to 1960 to be able to include the northerners. In 1983, Awo approached Zik again like he did in the Skeptics and our detractors were expecting the same thing would happen this time, believing that we could never agree. But they have been disappointed. That is why I salute our great leaders for their big heart; they see beyond today; they want to leave a legacy. What Awo tried and failed twice, the APC has done. If Awo could see in his grave, he would be smiling that we have achieved what he could not achieve. If you ž $ big compromise.

We believe we have the likes of Tinubu and Buhari who are determined to save our country and I believe we would succeed. What are the chances of the APC winning the 2015 presidential election?

It doesn’t like the likes of Amaechi but I believe abode will be our party. There are several governors who are willing to join us, who have shown interest and when the time comes, we will all know. This time, it will not be easy for anybody to say he is going to rig. If you rig or copy result, you rig Nigeria out of existence because enough is enough. Sixteen years of mediocrity is enough. Nigerians have allowed sentiment to override their reasoning. I said it then that Buhari was the man for the moment. I hope we won’t lose the likes of Tinubu and Buhari. I would like to see the ticket. Yoruba elders should support the APC most especially Tinubu. If there had been any disagreement J them, they should forgive him in the interest of the Yoruba people.

God has hand in PDP crises – Edo lawmaker Honourable Shaibu Momoh, representing Etsako West Local Government is the majority leader, Edo State House of Assembly. In this interview with journalists in Benin, including THANKGOD OFOELUE he -speaks on the bills tackled by the House. He also discusses the big challenge kidnapping has posed both on the government and people of Edo State, as well as key issues regarding the newly formed All Progressives Congress. Excerpts:

W

hat will you say the House has achieved since this session

started? One of the most important things we were engaged by our people to do is to them. At the tail end of last quarter, one of the most important bill was passed; the anti-kidnapping law and I am sure that our people appreciated that bill, they believe that the legislative arm has given a lot of backing to eradicating or reducing possibly, the menace that is becoming a cankerworm in the system. We had some bills also that were passed but we hope to improve on the area of motion because we had a lot of bills in the last quarter. We are having more motions this quarter. There is controversy over the anti-kidnapping bill as the governor is yet to accent to it, what is the true position? For now, we have } correspondence from the executive arm over the bill but we in the House have done our own part and so we are expecting the assent of the governor. How do you wish to react to the fact that developmental works in the state have slowed down considerably % ! incapacitation? I will not say the state is broke, but I will say the country is broke, I think the governor has been shouting to make our people know that the federal government is not playing its own part, that our allocation does not come as at when due and when it does come, parts are deducted indiscriminately. The other day, the governor told us that over two billion naira was deducted from our allocation and this last month, there was another deduction so at the end of the

day, you discover that the federal government owes the state a lot of money. On the issue of slow job, ongoing projects are still on and you know that the governor also avoids awarding more jobs and some are still under design stage because Edo State does not do a job without proper designs and planning so things may < ongoing no contractor has mobilised out of site, you can agree with me on that. The reason why many of them are not as forceful as we used to see them is that we are in the rainy season. I am sure as you enter the dry season, you will see more activities on the roads. I think where Y J $ D is the area of contracts that the governor wants to award because you cannot award new jobs when the funds you are expecting are not coming. You have to sustain the ones you have awarded. Governor wants to make sure that ones awarded, the contractor remains on site while those he intends to award, will have to be delayed as he expects the federal government to release funds and expects improvement in the Internally Generated Revenue. But in terms of being slow, obviously this period of the year is not always very busy for contractors but truly, no contractor has moved out of site as a result of no payment. Do you suspect any political undertone to this issue of non release of allocation? I don’t think it is a political thing, I see it as the greed of the federal government not being able to manage its own activities and increasing its overhead as against working on the capital spending. You know there is also crisis of the budget between the presidency and the National Assembly, so the confussion is at the centre and that is the

Momoh major problem. I think truly,

problem to this country. She is deceiving Nigerians, she is deceiving Mr. President, she is an agent of imperialists and she has an agenda to destroy the economy as against repairing the economy. I am very convinced about that. Because for a woman like that to come out and say that only 37 per cent of Nigerian youths are unemployed speaks volume of what she is doing. It shows that she is not conversant with the Nigerian system and if she works with that system of planning shows she does not have the statistics right, I think she is coordinating rubbish and she does not have her statistics right. I think the problem starts from her and that is what is trickling J ] government tell us the truth about our crude oil theft, it

God Himself has a hand in this because God want Nigeria to change for good God has decided now that Nigeria must be what it should be, that it must stand out in Africa and in the comity of nations. The leaking umbrella is a sign that Nigeria want to be good

is a shame that the federal government could come out to allege that some people are stealing our oil. What is the Nigerian Navy doing? that means the government has failed in its responsibility, but I do not want to believe that the federal government has failed because if it continues to tell us that theft is one of the reasons why our revenue is dropping, that means it has failed in its responsibility to protect lives and properties. I do not want to believe that, I believe they should look at their books and don’t use theft as an excuse because the National Assembly votes money for security, the Nigeria Navy is there so they cannot tell us that our oil is being stolen, nobody is stealing our oil, if anybody is stealing our oil, they should be the ones because they are supposed to protect it. What will you say about the crisis in Taraba State with majority leader fault the speaker over the health of the governor? It is very unfortunate that the governor has to get to this level of his health challenges; I think it is one of the carelessness that happens in a man’s lifetime that becomes a stigma. I want to think that in the principle of equity and fairness, the ailing governor and his people should concentrate on his health than to get him entangled on the political crisis. If they really love that to make him recover speedily $ < $ $ in this will increase his problems. The state assembly < < allow the deputy governor to J of that state while other people that are supposed to be carried along, especially the governor’s men should be carried along more since the governor was the one who on his own picked the deputy so

What do you make of the crises in PDP? Of course, I expected it because a house founded on falsehood obviously cannot stay for ever. It has become clear that the party was formed on falsehood, and unfortunately for them, they made the umbrella their logo and when an umbrella is leaking confusion will set in. Umbrella has started leaking and confusion has set in. Let me tell you that in any system, you must have some progressives. The progressives there have discovered that the house was built on falsehood and tyranny and they don’t want to be ruled anymore by tyrants. According to them, impunity has become the order of the day, obviously holes will set in. The umbrella and holes set in because truth is becoming clearer. God has a purpose for this country and obviously PDP is not the way forward for Nigeria. God Himself has a hand in this because God want Nigeria to change for good. God has decided now that Nigeria must be what it should be, that it must stand out in Africa and in the comity of nations. The leaking umbrella is a sign that Nigeria want to be good. What are your expectations from the APC yet to be inaugurated in Edo State? In Edo State, we are waiting for the leader of the party, the governor; he is the one that will give directives on when to start fully. Already we have been sensitising our people at the ward, local and state levels and everybody have bought into it as we are just waiting for the directives of the leader on when to start registration. You know how strong APC is, in those days, when your child had headache, what they usually gave was the APC tablet and as soon as he took it, the headache goes and for APC to come at this level when our country is having headache, they should know that the only antidote to cure the headache is APC and that is why the confusion in the umbrella will continue so that APC could take care of this country. Those leaving the umbrella are the water we will need to take the APC and cure our country’s headache. APC is coming at the right time, that is why I said God has a hand in the leaking umbrella, God wants Nigeria to stand as a nation he has created to be leader in this part of the raise people that will make His prophesy come to pass because Nigeria is founded on truth.

Like an artist sang many years ago: “Hello! Is it me you are looking for? I wonder where you are, and I wonder what you do; are you somewhere feeling lonely, or someone loving you...â€? This kind of thought life is best reserved for your spouse, rather than for an opposite sex friend. Anything contrary becomes a problem needing $ < What Threatens Your Spouse About Your Opposite Sex Friendship Ă™ When you speak glowingly about him/her at the slightest opportunity. For example, at every discussion with your spouse, there is something to refer to about him/ her. Ă™ When you speak of him/her at odd times/hour. Such as before, during and after sex with your spouse.

Ă™ When you often refer to his/her comment as to his/her likes or dislikes when you are with your spouse. I remember a woman who at the dining table with her spouse, said the food she served was her male colleague’s best food. The husband simply told her she could take some to him right away. Doing or saying such things can lead to serious frictions in the marriage. So, avoid them like a plague in order to protect your marriage.

hile complaining is not a serious issue in marriage, nagging is. Much as some people become unhappy with their spouses from time to time, a nagging husband or wife is a serious problem. The spouse who nags is the direct opposite of the peace-loving partner. He/she is the man/woman who complains all the time, is seldom nothing good in everything and feels like nobody really does what he/she wants. A nag is the destroyer of the home, one who would drive the spouse so crazy that he or she takes rash decision, irrespective of who gets hurt. Chibuzo works with a reputable ; in the category of the less-privileged. But once, he was a very unhappy fellow. The reason was not far-fetched. He had a wife that saw absolutely nothing good about what he did. “My former wife has a Ph.D in Naggingeology. She nags when I get home late from work, nags when I don’t call her, nags when I receive calls and the worst part is when I go out with my friends. The problem with all these nagging is her inability

In fact, I once slapped her because she J lot of hell, like she had been expecting me to do that. That did not however, < < $$ $ increased. I then began most of the

already. While I don’t seem to see her again, I was a heavy mass of object for her to throw her tantrums at whenever she felt like. So when the opportunity came for me to throw in the towel, I grabbed it not only with both hands, but with both legs, head and bowels inclusive,� he narrated. Whenever complains go beyond what they are, it becomes nagging. The nagging spouse is dangerous to have around the home. To avoid picking a nag, consider the following as the characteristics to look out for. The nagging man or woman is always depressed, and the reason is the fact that he or she is always in the ‘compare and contrast’ mode. His wife is compared to his friend’s wife. This is done verbally or internally. She J beautiful things her friends get from their spouses. He compares her to her best friend who gives her husband supposedly enough support. She is compared to his female colleague in

} $ $ J Ademuyiwa explained that the situation he faces at the moment is beyond explanation and will take the intervention of God to save him from the madness he is heading towards. “My brother, I have had it up to my neck. There is nothing I ever do that makes this woman happy. She sees every woman that comes around me as a rival, every call I receive as date arrangement and every girl that greets me as a potential bed mate. In all these, she bares her fangs or rather her tongue and gives me the washing of my life. My wife says all manner of things just to make me angry. And as a good Christian, I dare not raise my hands against her, but I am gradually going insane�, he said. The nag lives the greater part of his / her life trying to change the spouse. He / she sees everything the other $ & < him / her to the nagging status when the man would not for obvious reasons adjust to her inordinate standard. Another characteristic of the nag is

Communication is very vital. Let your spouse know that he/she is becoming very insulting and hostile. There isn’t an excuse for a husband to speak condescendingly to his wife; you are both adults and should always treat each other with high regard.

If your wife’s eyes roll toward the ceiling when you’re speaking, stop and tell her to try to focus or you won’t continue the conversation you’re having.

So far, I have received quite a number of calls and text messages about the topic. The inquiry that stands out most of all is the text message of a young juice can be used to re-grow hair on a balding scalp and also on the beard! First of all, you need to J types (and severity levels) of baldness and that the study done on onion juice as a hair re-growth stimulant (Journal of dermatology, page 343-346, 2002) was carried J $ from alopecia areata- a form of hair loss of often uneven bald patches on the scalp caused by the ] < $ hair follicles to remove them from the scalp.

As for the young man who is concerned about re-growing his hair and beard (who does that anyway?),deciding to apply crude onion juice on your beard will totally be at your own discretion if you can stand the smell of onions directly beneath your nostrils. Perhaps, if you are able to prove that onion juice can re-grow a man’s beard, medicine can credit that research to you (good luck with that!) Now to the day’s business; apart from the basic ways I wrote out in last week‘s article, I decided to make it a lot simpler for people to use by consulting with other hair loss experts for more variations of onion application for hair re-growth. The idea is to present

J to select one or any combination of these home remedies most convenient to you. Enjoy!

Remedy 1: Cut a red onion in half, add four cloves of garlic and two teaspoons of cinnamon powder. Mix everything together in a pot with about two cups of water and boil for 15 minutes. Allow the boiled mixture to cool to room temperature and then run it through your hair. You may use a bowl to collect the mixture as you pour it on your hair and

then repeat pouring it about four more times. Rinse your hair with this infusion to combat loss of hair and to promote hair growth. It also helps hair to become thicker and prevents hair breakage.

Remedy 2: To cure hair loss, mix a tablespoon of organic honey and onion juice (extracted from a medium-sized onion) in a jigger of vodka (yeah, you read right) and massage this mixture into your scalp. Leave it on

It is $ J = $ become a dumping ground of adulterated fake drugs, and we will have no other option than to take whatever have been given to us, even if it’s substandard without traditional medicine. But when there is a healthy competition, where African medicine is respected and allowed to compete freely, people will prefer to take the best. By that time, those making western medicine will have no other option than to upgrade their standard to avoid losing the market entirely to traditional medicines. Some foreign herbal medicines like GNLD and Tianshi have made impact in our market. Do you think our traditional medicines can make the similar impact in Nigeria and abroad? Our products are more hygienically and sophisticatedly } So, people prefer it. But there are only a few traditional drugs out there that have been approved by the government. We need the federal government to support us by passing into law the bill on traditional medicine which is before the National Assembly.

In 1971, it became necessary, because of my work in traditional medicine-everybody begin to disturb and say that I should be licensed as a traditional healer.

It was according to the tradition of the Jews that he was taken to the Church. It was according to the tradition of the Jews that Jesus was presented in the temple. Even when he died, it was according to the tradition of the Jews that he was buried. If there is anything that looks barbaric, it can be expunged. But not condemn the whole thing saying that tradition is bad. It is tradition that made the Oba remain on the throne. So tradition is highly respected and anyone kicking against it is a lunatic.

Federal cabinet reshuffle & need to scale up performance

A

t long last, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan seems to have bowed to public pressure or should I say to public expectations by ^ _ _ half years into his tenure. In our recent history, this is the longest it has taken for any regime to tinker with the cabinet. Indeed some of the ministers in this current cabinet have gone through three transitions. From Yar’Adua to Jonathan as acting President, then as substantive President to complete Yar’Adua’s term, then Jonathan’s new presidency which started in May 2011, up until now. To me, there is plenty of merit in breaking with the practice of the past where the tenures of ministers and other cabinet members were just too short and unpredictable. Part of our notoriety for policy inconsistency and poor execution of projects cannot be divorced from this revolving chair syndrome where ministers and commissioners (in States) are changed with such astounding irregularity. And more often than not, each new minister will attempt to start new projects or programmes, ignoring or sidelining those started by his predecessor . Reason: Either they want to leave their own imprints or line their own pockets.

^ & time. As a matter of fact, a mid-term review is proper and in line with global best practices. That’s perhaps why speculation about a cabinet change was rife in the media around May, when Jonathan’s current tenure was midway. When it did not happen, many people began to worry: Does it mean that Jonathan is & & ministers? Were they all meeting and exceeding the performance target contracts that he had signed with them? Many observers considered this as most unlikely, not only because of its improbability, but because it was clear that some aspects of the government were not functioning at expected levels, and even some of those performing at acceptable levels, could do much better. I do not quite know the exact criteria used by the President to decide on those he dropped. There have been speculations that there were other considerations beyond performance. Whatever those other considerations may be, I have painstakingly reviewed the list of the nine ministers that were dropped and I am persuaded that except for one or at the best two, performance was the key consideration in determining the fate of those cabinet ministers. Though the President in his gentlemanly manner said they had done well in order to cushion their pains of being dropped, most

discerning watchers of the economy know that most of them had not done that well. The unending crisis in our education sector, the embarrassing absence of Science and Technology imprints in our National discourse and so forth indicate that much better skills are required to manage these portfolios than the ability to stand in front of television cameras and yak and yak. ? the President has discovered in the management of these ministries, he has the opportunity to re-jig his government. True, he has some real stars in his team but there are still a few that are lack lustre. Considering that he is fast approaching the home run, one-and-half years left, he needs a ball-hitting, goal-scoring team that will deliver the fruits of his Transformation Agenda. Some people actually think that at the best, the new ministers to be deployed will have maximum of one year work, the last six months (or more) will be spent in political campaigns and election duties. Indeed, there has been this question regarding what kind of people should he appoint as ministers? Political loyalists or technocrats? Me I say a mix of both. Given the current virulent opposition by Baraje, Atiku, Amaechi et al, he sure needs political loyalists to cover his back. But he equally needs technocrats who can increase the pace of strategy implementation. When I hear all these hullabaloo about whether the President should run in 2015 or not, I tell myself that what will determine the President’s fate is how he delivers on his promises. If the physical infrastructural revolution we have seen in our airports and the resurgence we have seen in agriculture, followed by the massive road work on the Benin-Ore-Shagamu Expressway, the Abuja-Abaji-Lokoja Highway, the

There have been speculations that there were other considerations beyond performance. Whatever those other considerations may be, I have painstakingly reviewed the list of the nine ministers that were dropped and I am persuaded that except for one or at the best two, performance was the key consideration in determining the fate of those cabinet ministers

the foreign exchange rate has remained generally stable. We must salute the deft * & monetary management authorities at the ? * of Nigeria. Though our trade volumes seem to be on the increase, there was a worrisome 21% decline on the Foreign Direct investment (FDI) in 2012. This may be traceable to the rumblings in the Petroleum industry and someone must be really concerned. Whose job is it to ensure that this prolonged destabilisation of the goose that lays the golden egg of Nigeria’s economy is sorted out fast? It looks to me that nobody is really worried about it. The President must charge somebody with this responsibility and give him or her a deadline. I am really sad that we are rapidly losing investment in the oil and gas to the new oil and gas frontier nations and some people in government think it is okay. Everyday I hear that Shell is divesting, I cringe; then I hear that Total, or is it Chevron, has opted out of Brass LNG, and we are told there is no problem. I think otherwise! The President needs to re-jig activities in the hydrocarbon area. There is too much bad news! By the way, who is to be held responsible for the increasing oil theft?

We truly need to re-enact that level of seriousness in these last months if at all possible. But it will truly help the President’s re-election bid; that is, should he want to stand election in 2015. Or do you think this is already a forgone decision? What ever, Nigeria needs to revamp the war against corruption, election, re-election or not. Choosing the new team to replace the out-gone and generally re-jigging portfolios for the realisation of optimum outcome as we cruise into home run will not be easy for the President, given the great talents that abound in our nation. But that is really his most important job and I wish him good luck.
