Lagos tasks FG on rescuing abducted schoolgirls FRANCIS IWUCHUKWU

D

eputy Governor of Lagos State, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to show serious moves aimed at rescuing the schoolgirls, who were abducted by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State on April 14. Orelope-Adefulire spoke while delivering keynote address at a stakeholders’ summit on ‘Child Rights Law and Domestic Violence Law’ as part of activities marking the new legal year of Lagos State Judiciary, stressing that it is evident that Federal Government has not done enough towards rescuing the schoolgirls. The deputy governor also tasked Federal Government and security agencies in the `qxz{|}~ {q | ~ xC z ~ z~ q| ~ 0q|{ ~ z ~ z x| ~ { {~ the schoolgirls are rescued alive and reunited with their respective families. She also lamented the rising cases of domestic violence, adding that it is disheartening even with government’s 0q|{ ~ ~ z {|x z{ ~ vocacy and sensitisation. “The implication of this is that we all must double our 0q|{ ~ z ~| {| { ~{q~ z ~

this scourge.” Also, President of Women Arise, Dr Josephine OkeiOdumakin, wants Federal Government to show prove of its commitment towards rescuing the schoolgirls. Okei-Odumakin, who spoke on ‘Domestic Violence Law: Way Forward’, advo` { ~ q z{~ 0q|{ ~ {q | ~ eradicating completely or reducing domestic violence to

minimum level. However, Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Olufunmilayo Atilade, disclosed that the topics were carefully chosen following the increasing cases of domestic violence, rape and other sexual offences on the weaker sex and children. Atilade emphasised that on the average, 10 family courts in the state receive at least two

` ~ q ~ x ~ q0 z` ~ z ~ one case on domestic violence per day. “Recent happenings make it obvious that violence and tyranny are shifting to the girl child. Abduction of the schoolgirls is a case in point. “That is why we have in C z z` ~ {~{ ~ x {~ ~ relevant stakeholders-fathers/ mothers, husbands/wives, children, judges, magistrates,

lawyers, social workers, members of Nigeria Police, prisons, religious groups among others so that we can interact, inform and educate ourselves on the laws, our rights and more importantly encourage children, women and anyone abused to come forward, stand up for his or her rights, break the customary silence and speak out when his/her rights are infringed.”

PDP chides Aregbesola over Osun students’ poor performance in SSCE PATRICK OKOHUE

O

sun State Chapter of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described performance of students of the state in the recently released results q ~ z q|~ `qz |}~ |{ cate Examination as ‘embarrassing outing’, stressing that it is a fallout of the academic policies of Governor Rauf Aregbesola-led administration. The party decried what it called “declining standard of education in the state under the leadership of Aregbesola, emphasising that the state’s education sector is gradually drifting towards total collapse and blamed the situation on perceived resolve by the present administration to impress and empower ‘few party boys’ at the expense of impacting positively on the masses. It emphasised that the alleged extent at which the state has sunk in the area of education is demonstrated in the statistical analysis of the last SSCE results as published on the website of West African Examination Council (WAEC), which placed Osun State in 22nd behind Kogi and Benue states.

According to the statement issued by the state Director of Media and Strategy of PDP, Prince Diran Odeyemi: “Quick slide from the Mount Olympus of educational growth by Osun State from ninth position in 2009, according to WAEC passing rate, to

the abyss of mediocrity few years after has given the present administration out as the one with much fuss and less focus. “Falling to ignominious 22nd position less than four years of Rauf Aregbesola-led administration even with the

introduction of over-hyped, controversy-ridden ‘Opon Imo’, tablets of knowledge among other ill-conceived initiatives like O’schools should be enough reason for serious governor to resign |q ~q$` ¡ “It would be recalled that it

took PDP-led administration elected in 2003 less than three years to redirect the troubled ship of education in the state occasioned by the improper management of the sector by Alliance for Democracy (AD)led administration that preceded it.”

Religion conversion threatens 14-year-old marriage OLUSAKIN BABALOLA, Ibadan

A

14-year-old marriage in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, which is blessed with four children, has been threatened following the wife’s, Idayat Olakewu, conversion to Christianity. The husband, Akinwande Olakewu, said under no condition would he accept a Christian as wife under his roof and he has sued Idayat to Ibadan Customary Court presided over by Chief Amusa Makinde, who adjourned hearing till next week. Akinwande also accused his wife of adultery, though he could not substantiate the allegation in the court, particularly when its (the court) president asked him if he has caught her with another man. He alleged that his wife no longer respects him since she began to be speaking in tongues. However, Idayat while defending herself in the court knelt down and started weeping profusely. She denied engaging in adultery as claimed by her x z ~ { qx ~ `qz | ~ that she is no more a Muslim. The woman prayed the court not to grant her husband’s application in the interest of their children, adding that even with her new faith, she would love and | `{~ { ~ z~ C |~ { z~ before. Meanwhile, the court ordered the couple to go and reconcile, stressing that religion is no licence to eternity but obedience to the ordinances of God and loving fellow humans.

Fire consumes pastor’s wife, four children SYLVESTER IDOWU, Warri

R

esidents of the oil rich Warri, Delta State, were yesterday thrown into mourning as the family of a pastor, a woman and her four children were roasted alive in their apartment. ˆ‡~†„ z„…ˆ{~ž|‡~|€Ž‡ ~ the pastor’s building and parts of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) Otumara Branch, at Ă‹miko Close, Ăƒngle Park area of the city. Daily Newswatch observed that the situation became more pathetic as the Resident Pastor of the church, Pastor John Kayode, was not around to save his family as he was ‚€„ ~{q~Â?‡~€ €}~€C‡z Â„zÂ…~ a CAC Pastors’ Conference at Arakeji in Osun State when the tragic incident occurred. His wife, his two boys and two girls whose ages ranges between eight and 18 were burnt beyond recognition before help could come their way. An eyewitness, Bright December who was

among early neighbours {q~zq{„`‡~{ˆ‡~ „Š ~ž|‡~zq{‡ ~{ˆ€{~{ˆ‡~ž|‡~`qxŠ ~ˆ€§Â‡~ raged for long before people around noticed it. December, a visitor in the area said, “at about 11pm Wednesday night electricity supply started Âżx`{x€{„zÂ…~  Â€z…‡|qx‚Š}~ and for three times some vigilant residents came out to see what the problem was and nothing was noticed. “Midnight was when I looked out and saw a girl banging on the glass windows by one of the |qq†~ „z~ {ˆ‡~ Â…xC‡ ~ €‚tor’s residence. Later the mother was shouting for help but the burglary proofs restrained immediate entry. “A lady went out to alert other neighbours but it was too late. The Pastor’s wife and the daughter with her at the outer room screemed for 15mins and that was it. By the time it was possible to gain entry, the boys and a girl were already burnt dead in one room while the second girl and mother died in the other room.â€?

Another witness, Mrs Margret Ichibo, a church member said she left the church after prayers with the Pastor’s wife Wednesday adding “that was in the day. I rushed back few minutes to 1am and ž|‡~ ž…ˆ{‡|‚~ ‡|‡~ ’x‚{~ Š€bouring to break in but it was too late. The NEMA people made to evacu-

and his entire children, if it is the building, the church could always rebuild.� The Sun journalist added, “The major indicator as to cause of this tragic only points to electrical fault, but then the only people who could have explained the true cause are dead now.�

break have led governments to impose severe measures to control it, like a recent nationwide lockdown in Sierra Leone to look for the sick and spread information. On Wednesday, Sierra Leone said 30 more cases uncovered during the

Mutilated, scarce Naira notes: Matters arising

M

ore than one year after the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) promised to start replacing diseased and mutilated currencies with fresh mints, the acute scarcity of new notes, especially in lower denominations, is worsening transaction furore in marketplaces. CBN authorities have not deemed it right to inform the public why they have reneged on many promises. Daily Newswatch had persistently pointed out the transaction hassles caused by severe shortage of lower denomination currencies. The hassles followed the inability of {ˆ‡~ ~{q~•xŠžŠ~„{‚~ƒ|q†„‚‡~{q~ print and circulate in June 2013 •|‡‚ˆ~`x||‡z`„‡‚~{q~|‡ƒŠ€`‡~|qC‡z~ notes. Rather than claim responsibility for the Naira low denominations becoming illegal tender, CBN spokesman Isaac Okoroafor had „z~ €‚ˆ„zÂ…{qz~ ƒ|„Š~¹²~€C‡†ƒ{‡ ~ shifting the blame to deposit

money banks. Worse still is that {ˆ‡~ ~„‚~ƒ|qž{„z…~•|q†~{ˆ‡~ circulation of dirty, mutilated and smelly currencies via its increasing its sorting charges or penalty on commercial banks. The CBN penalty for sorting mutilated currencies for deposit banks had risen from N3,000 to N6,000 in 2008 to N12,000 now. Commercial banks, which distribute currencies to end users, had resisted paying the surcharge, arguing that sorting responsibility belongs to the apex bank. They further argue that they incur extra costs as mutilated currencies damage their Automated Teller Machine and therefore reissue expired currencies. However, Okoroafor shifted blame, “Banks have failed to make the needed investments in currency sorting and therefore |‡‚q|{„z…~{q~|‡‹`„|`xŠ€{„z…~xzž{~ notes� He made a bizarre claim that there is no scarcity of lower denomination notes, and threatened to bypass commercial

One needs not to be told that something is wrong with the intelligence gathering of our security agencies. We need to seek the support and cooperation of the international communities, and most especially too, our neighbouring countries of Cameroon, Niger Republic and Chad Republic, to put an end to this threat on the sovereignty and security of Nigeria. Also, the Federal Government should ensure that there is adequate funding, more manpower recruitment and capacity building of all the security operatives. Government should take the war against corruption very seriously.

The currency scarcity dispute is worsened by the recirculation of mutilated and smelly currencies rejected by buyers and sellers. Commercial

banks re-circulate diseased notes, which should have been properly sorted and destroyed by the CBN. CBN’s major error is that it phased out and stopped the production of polymer currencies in lower denominations six years ago long before it thought of printing the paper replacement. What happened within the six years of policy mishap is the recirculation of mutilated and |qC‡z~`x||‡z`„‡‚~Â?‡`€x‚‡~z‡ ~ notes were not forthcoming, despite Nigeria having two currency printing Mints in Lagos and Abuja.

Commercial banks have rejected CBN’s directive and surcharge to sort the mutilated notes so that the disabled currencies are returned to CBN for destruction. With the six-year failure of the currency sorting arrangement with money deposit banks, the CBN should immediately take back its responsibility of sorting currencies because its failure to print new notes is the source of crisis. With the reckless spending in hundreds of billions on non core functions, the CBN cannot claim it lacked funds to perform core duty of protecting Naira’s legal tender. Therefore, dirty and mutilated notes should be withdrawn from circulation immediately, while new currencies are printed urgently as promised.

Implications of Shale Gas Development to OPEC Member States Until the advent of shale gas, as an unconventional natural gas resource, crude oil and natural gas have been the main global energy resources. It would seem from the foregoing that US is the leading producer of shale gas, followed by China. However, China has the largest shale gas reserves and has set ambitious targets for its production. Ukraine is expected to follow suit shortly. Quite ominously for OPEC Countries, the shale producer nations are the largest energy consumers. z‡~q•~{ˆ‡~†€’q|~•q|`‡‚~„z~ „`ˆ‡€Š~ q|{‡|ª‚~¡²Â‹ q|`‡‚~{ˆ€{~ Â‡{‡|†„z‡~„z x‚{|}~ competitivenessâ€? is the ‘threat of a substitute

Of all these, one of the most potent is the advent of an alternative product /s. Therefore, the implications of shale gas revolution are threefold.

Ike Uche sad with Keshi’s media tantrums Ephraim Nwosu

O

ut-of-favour Super Eagles striker, Ikechukwu Uche has expressed sadness with Coach Stephen Keshi’s continued outburst against him in the media despite his persistence not to trade words with him. He said rather than speak to him personally over whatever misgivings he has against him, the coach chose to cast slurs on him for things he knows nothing about. The Spanish Villarreal striker, who indicated for the umpteenth time that he is ever ready to play for the Super Eagles when called upon, however expressed misgivings against the present set up under Coach Keshi. He told Newswatch Sports exclusively from his base in Spain that if he had quit the national team as being rumoured in Nigeria, he would have said so publicly because it would not have been a hidden secret. “If the coach decides to call me, like I told you before, I am still available to play for my country. When

I decide that I want to stop playing, I will come out and say it myself. “We are professionals and we should learn to do things in the proper way. I have no grudges against the coach, yet he has refused to speak with me since we won the Nations

Cup in South Africa, rather he prefers to speak with me through the local press and other people,which is unfair to me and I am not happy about it,” he complained. Uche, Africa’s highest goalscorer in Europe last season, was one of the few

players who was surprisingly left out of Nigeria’s World Cup squad by Keshi. | ~ | ~ xz`qz | ~ | ports that he was dropped by the former Nigeria captain as punishment for criticizing his coaching tactics at the 2013 African Cup of Nations.

IAAF Jnr Championships:

Toblow begs Danagogo for unpaid allowances Francis Ajuonuma

T

wo months after guiding the Nigerian team to the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) World Junior Championships held in Oregon United States from July 22-27, the four coaches thatprepared the team are yet to receive their camp allowances. A member of the coaching crew, Tobias Igwe told Newswatch Sports that they are being owed daily camp allowance of one thousand naira each, which accumulated for three months; April to July. According to him, while they were in Camp training the athletes they had assurances from top q$`„€Š‚~ q•~ {ˆ‡~ {ˆŠ‡{„`~ Federation of Nigeria that all their allowances would be paid to them as soon as funds were made available by the sports ministry for the championship; but up till this moment they are yet to receive a penny.

He said they agreed to go ahead with camping exercise because of their desire to serve the country whenever the authority called upon them, but were disappointed that they could be treated that way. He however called on the Sports Minister and Chairman of the National Sports Commission (NSC), Tammy Danagogo to come to their aid by facilitating

the payment of the three months allowance. “In Oregon, we’re paid our allowances for the championship proper. Everyone of us (coaches) received eight hundred $800 for the eight days we stayed at the championship, but we’ve not been paid the for three months we spent preparing the team in Sapele and Abuja. “All we were told was that we’d be paid when

the ministry makes money available. The other coaches that were dropped at the end of the camping exercise were all paid. “So I want to call on the Sports Minister, Tammy Danagogo to intervene so that we can receive our allowances as promised,� he said. The other coaches are, Olu Sule, Solomon Aliu, and one Amelia from Oyo State.

The technical crew has put the team in a killer form and God being on our side, the Golden Eaglets will maul their opponents tomorrow. “I can tell you that the players are turbo charged

for the match. I doubt if Gabon will escape unbeaten, but we are still calling on Nigerians to pray for the team. “You see, one good thing about these players is that they detest defeat and as such they always give their best anytime they are on national assignment. The good thing about the loss in Gabon is that it will bring the best out of these boys on Saturday. “So, Nigerians should watch out for a rejuvenated Golden Eaglets coming out smoking against their opponents,� he said. He, however, dismissed with a wave of hands the rumour that some of the players may be down with injuries. “As I speak with you, none of the players is down with any serious injury; although you cannot rule out players getting knocks in a match but there is no cause for alarm�, he explained.

NFF elections: Let football win

H

ere they go again! Here they start the squabbles all over again. Will there be no end to this tempest in Nigerian football? When all seems to be quiet and calm, suddenly somebody somewhere stirs up the hornet’s nest and instantly hell is let loose. The World football governing body, FIFA seemed to have instilled serenity into our football by ordering a restart process of an election into the executive board of the NFF. But the mischief makers are still hell bent on disrupting that process, which already has been set in motion after last week’s NFF Emergency Congress in Warri.

My future is Madrid not Man U — Ronaldo

A

fter scoring his 25th hat trick for Real Madrid on Tuesday, Cristiano Ronaldo has moved to quell growing speculation over his future at the Santiago Bernabeu. Ronaldo, 29, has been constantly linked with a move back to Manchester United this summer, with Premier League giants, Chelsea also reportedly in the hunt. However, after scor-

ing seven goals in his past two games for Real, including four against Elche on Tuesday, Ronaldo spoke to reporters in Madrid and dismissed talk of a switch back to the PL. “It’s all speculation, speaking about my future,” Ronaldo said. “My future is Madrid. I’m happy. The season is going well and I’m not talking about my future, it doesn’t make sense.” “So, that’s the end of that, right?

Maybe not. Ronaldo continues to put in stunning displays for Real and has now scored 12 goals in eight games this season. He has won the La Liga title, Copa Del Rey and the UEFA Champions League with Madrid and is the reigning European and World Player of the Year. Simply put, he has achieved greatness at Madrid and he’s scored 264 goals in 254 games for Real. What else does he have to achieve at the Santiago Bernabeu? His

comments on the reports linking him with United and Chelsea are more to |x ~ | q|{ | ~ q0~ { z~ giving a huge inclination as to where his future lies. He let his guard down over the summer and in interviews he repeatedly stated his intent to one day return to Manchester United. These latest comments should be taken with a pinch of salt as Ronaldo’s future at Real will still be in question for the rest of the season.

Essien dreams Milan success with Torres, Van Ginkel

ichael Essien says AC Milan are aiming to replicate Chelsea’s success after seeing Fernando Torres, Marco van Ginkel and Alex join the Serie A club this summer. Essien won the Champions League with the Blues in 2012 and also picked up two Premier League titles during his time at Stamford Bridge. And after seeing a growing contingent of former Chelsea stars arrive at the San Siro this summer, Essien hopes he can now match those achievements in Milan. He told the FIFA website: “Of course it’s nice to have them all here, and also Van Ginkel, who joined on the last day of the transfer

window. “They are some of the nicest people you will meet in football and we always talk about our days at Chelsea. “Hopefully we can bring some of the Chelsea glory days to Milan.”

In July, Tagoe, popularly known as Castro, went missing while on holiday with the player and other friends. The musician was presumed to have drowned in a jet-ski

accident, but his body was never found, which led to the allegations against the striker, with his family constantly being hounded by Ghanaian press. The football star and his family have however come out to deny the allegation maintaining they have no hand in Castro’s death.

Taiwo Taiwo Obayomi, 2nd Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) is a principled lawyer who cannot compromise ethics of the legal profession for the sake of a common man or reasonable man on the street as he puts it. The former Chairman of the Lagos branch of the bar spoke with SAM POPOOLA boldly, declaring that it is unethical for him to appear in any matter before his wife-judge. Apart from talking on other issues including death sentences recently passed on 12 soldiers and Federal Government’s alleged handling of Boko Haram issue with kid gloves. Excerpts:

Police harassment: Lawyer petitions IGP FRANCIS IWUCHUKWU

L

awyer to the Oguntola royal family of Ijoku, Sagamu Area of Ogun State, Yemi Oladimeji has asked the Inspector General of Police (IGP), to put an end to allegation of harassment and intimidation of the family members by men of the Nigeria Police. The royal family also revoked the ƒq ‡|~ q•~ €Cq|z‡}~ „{~ Â…|€z{‡ ~ „{‚~ €…‡z{‰~ one Sulex Estate and Properties consultant. According to the petition addressed to the IGP, the royal family argued that principal members of Ijoku royal family led by Chief Adeyinka Adebayo, were arrested and interrogated but were later released on bail. The royal family also informed the IGP that an alleged petition sent to the Force CID, Alagbon, by one Idowu Dosumu and Yisa Suraju was devoid of fact, with an addition that the allegation made against the Ijoku royal family could not be validated. The lawyer in his petition then suggested that, “In other to avoid further use of Police to harass and intimidate, we have decided to petition the Inspector General of Police for redress to enable him consolidate all the investigations.â€?

man authorities believe is the last person seen with a University of Virginia student before she disappeared is being sought on arrest warrants charging him with reckless driving. But they say they also want to talk to him about the missing teen. Virginia State Police issued warrants for Jesse Matthew on a charge of misdemeanor reckless driving, Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo said at a news conference Sunday. Matthew has not been charged in {ˆ‡~  Â„‚€ƒƒ‡€|€z`‡~ q•~ ¹ºÂ‹}‡€|‹qŠ ~ Hannah Graham, who was last seen ‡€|Š}~qz~ ‡ƒ{ÂĄ~¹~„z~ ˆ€|Šq{{‡‚§Â„ŠŠ‡¥ Longo said police want to talk to Matthew, who was seen with Graham before she disappeared. “I believe Jesse Matthew was the last person she was seen with before she vanished off the face of the Earth because it’s been a week and we can’t find her,â€? Longo said. “I’ve made no mistake about it. We want to talk to Jesse Matthew. We want to talk to him. We want to talk to him about his interaction with this sweet, young girl we can’t find,â€? Longo said. Longo said Matthew had stopped by the Charlottesville Police Department’s station Saturday with several family members and asked for a lawyer. He was provided with a lawyer but left in a vehicle at a high rate of speed that endangered other drivers and led to the reckless driving charge, according to the police chief. He said Matthew was there for about an hour.

Virginia State Police spokeswoman said in an email late Sunday that State Police officers were conducing “surveillanceâ€? of the vehicle at the time but did not pursue Matthew. Police said they have focused on Graham’s movements the night of Sept. 12 and into the early morning ˆqx|‚~ q•~ ‡ƒ{ÂĄ~ ¹¥~ |€ˆ€†‰~ €~ sophomore from northern Virginia, met friends at a restaurant for dinner, stopped by two parties at off-campus housing units and left the second party alone, police have said. Surveillance videos showed her walking, and at some points running, past a pub and a service station and then onto the Downtown Mall, a seven-block pedestrian strip lined with shops and restaurants. “Somebody’s gotta know where she is and we want to know who that person or persons are,â€? Longo said. “I don’t want to get tunnel vision just because we have a name, just because we saw her with a particular person,â€? he said. Graham’s parents appeared at the news conference and her father, John Graham, appealed for anyone with any information to call a police tip line. “This is every parent’s worst nightmare,â€? John Graham said. “We need to find out what happened to Hannah and make sure it happens to no one else.â€? More than 1,000 volunteers participated in a weekend search for Hannah Graham, according to authorities.

Graham’s disappearance has sent a ripple of fear through the quiet college town of Charlottesville. Students have said they’ve begun walking in pairs at night and are paying closer attention to their surroundings. The university president, Teresa A. Sullivan, issued a statement Sunday saying the university was committed to helping authorities in the search for the missing woman and “return her safely to her family.� “We are cooperating fully with law enforcement authorities as they continue their investigation,� the emailed statement said.

Is Africa losing the battle against corruption? By Stefan Gilbert

orruption remains one of the most pressing challenges facing developing states and Africa in particular, as it substantially undermines development and general prosperity on the continent. This is despite the emergence of strong international legal frameworks, such as the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC), which was q { ~ z~°­­»~ z ~ ~ z~| { ~ }~ 140 countries. This was quickly followed by the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption (AUCPCC), which the Africa Union (AU) adopted in 2003 and which has z~| { ~ }~»²~ ~ |~ { { ¡ Indeed, the past decade has seen the proliferation of national anti-corruption commissions and the establishment of q$` ~q ~q x z ~ ~ | `| ~ }~ the above conventions.

Given that the theory and practice in this ~ | ~ ` | }~ zq{~ q|¯ z ~ {~ }~ ~ time to revisit this problem and explore alternative options. According to most of the available indicators, the war on corruption is at a standstill. In fact, these indicators show that corruption is actually increasing in countries where its impact is likely to be most harsh. Globally, the average country scores produced by Transparency International (used for their ranking system), between 2000 and 2013 have qz ~ q z~ }~ ­ ²~ qz~ ~ ` ~ q ~ ±~ {q~ ±­~ (1 representing low levels of perceived corruption, and 10 the highest). The World Bank indicators on control of corruption provide a more nuanced variation. These indicators show that between 1996 and 2012, corruption has become worse in low and highincome states that are members of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), while lowermiddle, upper-middle and high-income non-OECD countries show marginal improvements. For sub-Saharan Africa, { ~ `q| ~ |q ~ |q ~»» °±»~{q~»­ ²±²~ (out of 100, where a high score indicates less corruption). To be fair, much criticism has been levelled at these indicators, as they are primarily based on perception surveys and don’t provide any quantitative evidence for actual levels of corruption. The ranking system used by Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index, in particular, has been heavily criticised for its methodological bias against African and other developing states. That said, measuring corruption is problematic, as by its very nature it is a concealed and secretive practice, and can thus only be measured by public perceptions or proxy indicators. | } ~ 0q|{ ~ {q~ `q {~ `q||x { qz~ have increasingly focused on contextual factors, such as transparency, accountability, and rule of law; an absence of which allows corrupt | `{ ` ~{q~¿qx| ¡ Closer consideration of such contextual z ` {q| ~ ` z~ ~ C |~ z~ { ~ `¯~ q ~ |q | ~ z~ { z ~ `q||x { qz¡~

Super Friday SHIFT: Transforming Nigerian youth FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2014

H

alf of the world’s population of 6.3 billion people are under the age of 25. And so addressing the critical challenges facing the largest youth generation in history is an urgent priority if social and `qzq `~ § q z{~ 0q|{ ~ are to succeed. Nigeria has a population of one hundred and forty million people National Population Census (NPC) 2006) which makes it the most populated nation in Africa. One third of the population however is young people between the ages of 10 to 24 years. The Nigerian National Youth policy of year °­­±~ `{ qz~°~ z ~}qx{ ~ ~ comprising all young persons between the ages 18 and 35 years who are citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. However, one of the major challenges confronting the Nigerian youth is not lack of creativity and talents, but non availability of platform to express their talents and creativity. Many youths are born with innate great talents and skills that could transform the nation into a technologically developed nation and thus place Nigeria among the developed countries in the world. Against this backdrop, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has established a platform to help youths express their skills and ideas through a programme called SHIFT, an annual youth convention which encapsulates career talks, relationship, drama among others. According to the National Youth coordinator, Pastor Belemina Obunge, the theme of this year’s convention ~ § |¿q z ~ | {z ~ aimed at reviving the youth towards realising the greatness deposited in them and achieving their desired goals in life. “RCCG realised a section of the society that should be empowered to make change in our society and that is the youth, having realised that God has blessed this set of people to be a blessing to others, our focus is to ensure that the greatness deposited in them by God is manifested so much so that they go forth impacting

He said speakers at the convention were carefully selected to steer up the spirit of greatness in the youth to help them shape their future, adding that SHIFT is a programme that celebrates talents and creativity among Christian youths in the country. The programme which has been scheduled for Sept 29 to October 3 at the RCCG Youth Centre, Redeemed camp, Ogun State will have Pastor Enoch Adeboye, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church, his wife Pastor (Mrs) Folu Adeboye, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education, Rev Funke Adejumo of Agape Christian Ministries, Rev Joe Olaiya, Pastor Kunle Ajayi among others, ministering to the youth during the convention. He said: “it is erroneous to think of a Nigerian youth not being creative, saying that many youths are creative, but lack the platform to showcase their creativity to the world and the convention aims at

There will also be talks from our speakers on Nigeria at 54 and how our youths can contribute towards the developing of their own fatherland”, he said.

he beauty of life is her ability to change circumstance when she deems fit. Life isn’t always that uhuru we anticipate coming into her would present. Some persons come into her holding golden spoons, some silver spoons, some bronze spoons, others aluminium spoons and some others still, plastic spoons. Whatever spoon variant you stepped into life with, you can replace it. There is so much in life that offers joy but this much eludes most people who aren’t privilege to connect to this joy bank. It is grueling challenging life from the position of an underdog. It often takes striving and a battle to challenge and win. Life’s situations have no permanent seats. They are unseated when the right challenger hits top gear. Damning situations can upturn and great moments can become checkered. Persons striving to make meaning of their lives can get it right if they really want. It just takes triggering the belief factor. If you are struggling in pursuance of the better life, you aren’t far from it. The better life might have eluded

The belief factor a great number of persons but if you believe, you can get it. Our “belief” is the trigger upon which our bullets are shot towards the prime target, the better life. It is a continuous persistent push with an uncommon assurance that soonest what you want will get straight into your hands. Our ability to believe comes from our well of complete dedication to the pursuance of the better future that we so much desire. It provides the platform upon which actions towards actualization of our goals and dreams manifest. Our object of belief arrives from our minds camera. The mind creates graphic details absorbing images of what it considers as the better life from our environment, storing those images and processing them into pictures as the goal to pursue. The clearness of the picture increases the chance one will get at it. You won’t want to have a picture that’s not clear. Opportunities in life may vary but everyone does have a right to the best of them. What holds most persons back from pushing for what

they really want however clear the picture is the artificial barriers that are placed by society and self. People think they have a chance to attain a task but they never push for the attainment of that task because they accept the hypothetical debars placed around them. Nevertheless, once you believe, no bars can stand. The future attainment of our present picture only results from an absolute confidence in the possibility of the picture meeting reality. The picture may seem gigantic, enormous, and even weird but they are possibilities. With certainty, pictures are created from scenes that already exist. What you’ve pictured already exist in this sphere; there is no impossibility clause on it. Your own picture only seems unique because it consists of a conjunction of various images only you have seen. You can attain any height. Take the Obama success story for example.

wasn’t for Obama. His belief came from the fact that others had become president before him and he was only merely repeating what George Bush had done. Had Obama accepted the reality of his minority clause and stooped low in fear, he wouldn’t have attained the feat which was the privy of every American as written in the American constitution. The things you need to make your life the kind you always desired may not be available now but it has a place in the nearest future which your belief can help you drive to. Believe you will get that house, car, family, wife, husband, child, degree, certificate etc. Don’t stop believing till you get it. When we believe with certainty about the future, life always has a way of playing out herself in the direction of our belief. The scenes play one by one and you’d discover yourself as the lead actor in what had once only being a mere dream. Don’t stop now, Just believe. What you want is right there closer than you think. Samuel Ufot Ekekere is a writer and an author cum speaker from Uyo, Akwa Ibom, Nigeria.

POEMS Apple In Sodom Decided to stay home today Would call in sick at work I felt guilty for scarcely being home I want to make up for lost times He’s unease... His face void of emotions Styling every seductive pose, To steer his staying stares Tried out wardrobe of sultry outfits To rekindle his passionate Burning stares... His mind and body remained chaffed I’ve screwed up way out of line I dashed out only for some minutes I sauntered into the living room With tons of goodie bags He was gone from the settee There’s one haven he could be Unwinding and twisting my waist Swinging my hips and popping Top buttons of my shirt I glide towards our nest of roses I heard soft moans and hard groans My senses snapped My breathe breaking My heartbeat quickened My steps took strides Behold a banging bing! Mine forever, until death do us part

Beneath a same blood That runs through my veins I reached for the doorknob My pond palm slid off It could, I couldn’t hold My knees buckled My eyes an itchy ocean I screamed out words My lips didn’t mouth She’s an experienced rider Atop a sturdy stallion They twined as Siemens twin They’re so matched I thought he was merely mad at me Never imagined I have become so repulsive I willed myself to move My legs were rooted on same spot Alongside strangled satiated screams from both I let out my pained outrage cries Two pairs of bewildered faces turned to me Faces shamed and crestfallen They muttered nonsense words of pleas My mind ravaged for reasons why I sought solace anywhere And darkness embraced me.

Jideonwo’s book reading holds at Terra Kulture Sept 27 Stories by ADA DIKE

O

n Saturday, September 27, 2014, Terra Kulture in Victoria Island, Lagos, will host an author, lawyer and entrepreneur, Chude Jideonwo for reading of his book ‘Are We The Turning Point Generation?’ The event which will be hosted by a TV personality and film director, Kemi Adetiba, with a question and answer session anchored by awardwinning author, reviewer and marketing executive, Toni Kan will hold from 5 to 7pm. ‘Are We The Turning Point Generation?’ which was launched in April this year at Federal Palace Hotel, Lagos, attracted many media personalities and celebrities. The book has toured the world including South Africa, London, New York and other cities. Jideonwo believes that this generation is a lucky one in terms of new tools which enable everyone to spread information easier. “We are not beholden to the same media interest that would have limited the power of our voices. We are able to communicate to a large number of people by ourselves without needing a third party. So we have a lot of tools that can enable us create a movement within the country. Whether we will end up doing it is not something that Chude can predict. If I want to become like Nigerian leaders who say things

like ‘one Nigeria,’ ‘We are together,’ I will say yes. But like Achebe said, those woolly clichĂŠs are part of what ruins the country.

Theme song for ‘A Place In The Stars’ released

I

A statement made available by one of „…‡|„€ª‚~ƒ„qz‡‡|~žŠ†~€z ~ ~ q†ƒ€z}~€z ~ producers of the movie, Native Filmworks „†„{‡ Â‰~ |‡§Â‡Â€ÂŠÂ‡ ~ {ˆ€{~ {ˆ‡~ q$`„€Š~ †q§Â„‡~ theme song was performed by a music maestro with the ability to transform everyday experiences and emotions into beautiful storytelling, Jeremiah Gyang. Gyang, a singer/songwriter and multiinstrumentalist has contributed immensely to the entertainment industry internationally and Nigeria in particular. “The song was inspired by the movie of the same title, ‘A Place in the Stars’, directed €z ~ ƒ|q x`‡ ~ Â?}~ |‡‚ƒ‡`{‡ ~ žŠ†~ †€¯‡|‰~ Steve Gukas. The movie is a riveting account of drug {|€$`¯„zÂ…Ă”~ •q`x‚„zÂ…~ qz~ ˆq ~ •€¯‡~ €z ~

adulterated medical drugs are being traded for billions of dollars. Set in 2006 Nigeria, ‘A Place in the Stars’ tells the story of Kim Dakim (Gideon Okeke), a young lawyer who gets a client „{ˆ~ €~ `€‚‡~ {ˆ€{~ Š‡€§Â‡Â‚~ ˆ„†~ `qz¿„`{‡ ¥~ ‡~ has information that can save many lives if he passes it on, but he also stands to make millions of dollars if he doesn’t. In a very corrupt country where everyone loves money and no one cares how you make it, Kim sees this as his chance to make it big. Problem is, Diokpa Okonwo (Segun Arinze), the kingpin of the counterfeit medical drugs trade who his case is against, doesn’t play nice. The movie is scheduled to premiere in Africa – Lagos/Abuja, South Africa, Kenya and in the West – London and New York/ Maryland later part of the year. The movie will be available in cinemas across Nigeria from November 2014.

“Are we ready to build our capacity to do better when we eventually take over the reins of leadership, politically and in government? Are we going to be able to do that? Are we going to form an ecosystem of integrity and impact? Are we going to be able to mobilize millions of people, which is the ultimate thing,

because it is one thing to be right, it’s another thing to have people who believe that you are right. Are we able to mobilize millions of people to match the old system politicians, number for number, person for person, vision for vision? If we were able to do that, yes we’ll be the turning point generation,â€? Jideonwo said. Published by Farafina’s Kamsi imprint, the book‘s publisher, Jideonwo will also be featured author at the Lagos Book and Art Festival, the Ake Festival and the Port Harcourt Book Festival. He has also been announced as a speaker at TEDxEuston in December. Born on March 16, 1985, and named by Forbes as one of Africa’s 30 best entrepreneurs under 30, Chude Jideonwo’s career is centred on using the media as an active tool to galvanise a generation of Africans to action. He is Managing Partner of RedMedia Africa, owners of The Future Africa Awards Africa & x††„{‰~ ĂŞ~ •|„`€‰~€z ~ €„’€¥`q†Ô~ and founding Executive Director of The Future Project, which empowers young people across Africa through leadership and enterprise.

Zakzaky calls for proper planning of Ashura mourning, remembrance

L-R:Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky delivering his lecture during the seminar at Zaria while a guest looks on.

T

he leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky has called for proper planning of Ashura mourning and remembrance, a religious obligations prescribed by the Ahlul Bayt (the Infallibles). He made the statement at a oneday seminar organized by the central `q C ~ qz~ x| ~ z ~ | ª z~ symbolic trek held at the Hussainiyah Baqiyyatullah, Zaria last Saturday. The seminar was held in preparation q|~ { ~ } |ª ~ `q q| { qz~ q ~ x| ~ z ~ | ª z~{| ¯¡ Sheikh Zakzaky said, commemoration of Ashura, which included mourning sessions and | ª z~ } q `~ {| ¯~ qx ~ ~ observed and seen as a religious duty. Speaking further, Sheikh Zakzaky said, narratives of Ashura tragedy z~ ~ { | z ~ z ~{ ~ | ª z~{| ¯~ revives spirit of brutality, ever fresh in the heart of a listener and instills love z ~ ` z ~ ~ ~ }~ { ~ Ahlul Bayt. “This is necessary as there was a move to wipe out Ashura remembrance by the enemies in the past. However, Allah wills that it remains ever fresh in the hearts of men over time,” he pointed. He added that, the enemies had realized the dangers of Ashura remembrance, hence the constant plot {q~ C `¯~ z ~ x | ~ { ~ x{~ { qx{~ success. Sheikh Zakzaky therefore called for proper planning to curtail the new comers to conform to instituted discipline that drives the Movement. According to him, “It is a great

wonder how people have embraced this call within a short period. We are also surprised at the rapid response and acceptance from people from other parts of the world is expressing amazement. All we can say is that, this is from Allah”. He pointed that, the Movement is known for discipline and good conduct in organizing mass event z ~ q| ~ 0q|{ ~ qx ~ ~ ~ {q~ contain emerging issues. In his words, “We are known for high discipline and exemplary conduct. We are not a crowd. We have a work plan, purpose and mission. We are not driven by emotion, but by leadership and sincerity of purpose. This is a good testimony on the Movement. “Our control of mass gatherings ~ zq{~ ~ qz }~ 0 | ~ x{~ accumulated years of moral discipline and experience. I know that control q ~ z ~ `q | ~ ` z~ ~ § |}~ $`x { ~ in any case there is need to extend such discipline to the new comers in

Majalis and other special sessions so that we would operate on the same level”. To further achieve the intended purpose, the Leader called for division of labour in order to avoid overlapping of duties, as well as provision of working tools. Stressing the importance of internal and external security, Sheikh Zakzaky said enemies may want to disrupt the gatherings as they tried, but failed in the past. He explained that some people were sent for training in Saudi Arabia last year on how to detonate q ~ x| z ~{ ~ | ª z~ } q ` ~ but their plan was exposed and the operation eventually failed. “Had they tried it, we would have exposed the full details of the plan, names and identity of those who went for the training”, he added. On the killings on Quds day in Zaria, he said Nigerians have realized those killing them in the name of Boko Haram. “On broad daylight we saw

the real Boko Haram in their full gear; their commanders were exposed. Now we know the real Boko Haram and their international conspirators, U.S and Israel. With this exposition, if any of our members is found dead, we know who killed him”. Sheikh Zakzaky challenged the killers: “Let them boldly come out with full authority and say they did it. They are always looking for excuses to justify their act of savagery; this is an act of cowardice. Let them be courageous enough to openly claim responsibility, or claim that it was an order from their masters, U.S. and Israel. Or let their commander come out and claim that he did. Your atrocity on us can never be hidden anymore; we will unmask you on every move you made against us. To be frank, all that they did to us ~ {~{ {~ x {~ ~ ~zq~ C |~ the length of time.

Hajj: Embarking on spiritual journey of eternal bliss

Pilgrims boarding an aircraft MOMOH RAIMI BIO

A

ll praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all creatures. We do praise and glorify Him as much as we thank Him for His umpteen favours and ceaseless blessings. We humbly beseech His assistance and earnestly implore Him to overlook our errors and shortcomings. From the evil whispering of our soul and the dire consequences of misdeeds, we sincerely seek recourse in His divine shield and shelter. Whoever Allah, the Omnipotent Source of guidance, has guided to the path of righteousness, has indeed received true guidance and none can ever lead astray. But whomever He has not shown the right path, has lost his way and guidance. I attest with all my heart that there is no deity, whether human or supra-human, that is deserving of worship in truth and sincerity save Allah - the Unique, and that Muhammad, the seal of all prophets, is His servant and messenger. “O you believers fear Allah the way He ought to be feared, and do not let death catch up with except in the state of total submission to Allah’s will.” Q3:102 “O men, fear your Lord who has created you from a single soul Adam, and from him created his pair, and spread from the duo many men and women. Also, fear Allah in whose name you ask each other of for you rights, and beware of violating the rights of the womb-relations.

Allah is indeed ever watchful over you.” Q4:1 “O you believers fear Allah and say what is right. By so doing, Allah will rectify your deeds to your own advantage, and pardon your sins. Whoever obeys Allah and His messenger has indubitably achieved great success.” Q33:60-71 To start with, the best speech is the words of Allah and the best guidance is that preached Muhammad (PBUH). The worst of religious affairs are the newlyinnovated, and every innovation is heretical, whereas every heresy is clear misguidance and every bit of misguidance will be in hell. “Hajj - Embarking on a spiritual journey of eternal bliss” is the topic Friday discourse of today. The word HAJJ derives originally from Arabic language and as a technical term in Islamic

jurisprudence, it connotes those acts of dedicated devotions which are performed after assuming the state of Ihram with the sole intention of worshipping Allah. These devotions are comprised of FARD (necessary duties), TAWAF (circumambulation of the holy kaaba), WUQUF (staying or making a sojourn at Arafat) and so on, which are performed according to a particular order at specified times. Allah asserts: “Surely, the first house of worship to be appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah - Makkah. It is full of blessings and guidance for all creatures humankind and jinns. In it, are crystal clear signs like the Place of Ibrahim; whosoever enter it, shall attain security and safety. And making pilgrimage to the house (Kaaba) is a duty that mankind owes Allah for those who can afford

the essences to do so. And whoever disbelieves (i.e denies the obligation of Hajj), then Allah starts not in need of whole world.” Q3:96-97 These two lofty verses of the holy Quran unequivocally express the obligation of undertaking the spirit journey, Hajj, as a duty to Allah and as a source of attaining both worldly and spiritual blessings, tranquillity, as well as safety. This is so, because it affords the Pilgrim the once-in-a-life-time opportunity, at least, to have a direct sight of the great signs of Allah which in turn fill the mind with ingredients of leading a successful live and a triumphant hereafter. It instils in the believers the spiritual strength remain steadfast in their belief in the oneness of Allah, and by extension make it easy for them to persevere relentlessly in observing their duties to Him. The reason for this is not far to seek, as Millions of believers from the whole world converge yearly on the holy land to perform this spiritual rites regardless of their races, social strata, countries, and tribes worshipping one true God. What other unifying factor could be stronger than this? As for the virtues and excellence of Hajj, Abu Huraira, a devout companion, reported the Prophet as saying: “ ... a dutiful hajj has gotten no other reward than paradise.’’ I pray that Allah grant us the opportunity and provided us with the means to fulfil this spiritual obligation.

2015: Fight against third term wins support for Atiku in Kaduna- Youth leader BABA NEGEDU, Kaduna

F

q|~  €|„zÂ…~ {q~ ž…ˆ{~ former President Olusegun Obasanjo over his third term ambition, the Arewa Youth Leaders and stakeholders have declared their support for former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to succeed President Jonathan in 2015. The group in a communiquĂŠ at the end of its one day meeting in Kaduna, disclosed that the former vice president has earned a place in the political history of Nigeria as someone who took enormous risk to strengthen democracy when it was under severe presidential threat of third term bid in 2007. According to the communiquĂŠ, signed by the secretary of the group, Musa Adamu, the group said the former vice

president, in his bid to save democracy, approached the judiciary over ten times on various issues with a landmark supreme court judgement to his favour which is nursing the current democracy today. The communiquĂŠ added while all the presidential aspirants from the All Progressives Congress (APC), are ‡†„z‡z{Š}~ ½x€Š„ž‡ ~ €‚~ ¿€…bearers or president of this country, there should be a dispassionate evaluation of the present national mood for a preferred choice of the people. They said, “The leadership or presidency of this country must speedily move from trial and error to decisiveness and absolute display of informed decisions and political will in order to secure the future of its citizens. “The choice of the right person for the job should be

centred around experience, integrity, liberal disposition, courage, pure civilian with democratic credentials and this is where the former vice President, Atiku Abubakar takes the lead among others,� the communiquÊ said. The communiquÊ further

expressed dismay over the grave insecurity and diminishing quality leadership in the country saying, this is affecting all aspect of national life, which must be halted immediately. “It is very disheartening that within the PDP some

northerners with presidential credentials whom it was strongly believed will give a shot at the presidency to provide credible alternative leadership seems to be foot dragging due to a subterfuge/ staged managed arrangement of endorsing the incumbent.

Who are the terrorists?

or long, Muslims have always protested against the use of “Islamicâ€? in characterising the murderous Boko Haram group because they do not represent Islam. However, despite the denunciation of the group and condemnation of its agenda by Muslim leaders, there is an inexplicable obsession of harassing the majority of peace-loving Muslims with the obnoxious activities of a fringe minority. With the recent revelation that Christian religious leaders engage in gunrunning, arm deviant youths and incite „†ƒ|‡‚‚„qz„‚{„`~ †„z Â‚~ {q~ Š€xz`ˆ~ €C€`¯‚~ on Muslim communities while blaming Muslims at the same time, the situation is clearer. What is disappointing is that some uninformed or mischievous people ‡‚ƒ‡`„€ŠŠ}~ „z~ †‡ Â„€~ `„|`Š‡‚~ ‚{„ŠŠ~ xC‡|~ ‚x`ˆ~ things as “Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haramâ€?, an anachronism that should be totally rejected.

It would therefore smack of aberration for any self-respecting Government or media to continue to malign the entirety of a religious group with terrorism. Those who tag Muslims as terrorists are enemies of humanity. This is because as Voltaire said, “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocitiesâ€?. These atrocities, including torture that Amnesty International says is of industrial scale in our country, are still going on with our collective humanity being diminished.
