The group which made the call in a statement urged the state House of Assembly to urgently initiWVXYW]_Y W YWY YVqYX#X VY the establishment of the Commission.

While acknowledging the success of such Commission in South Africa

and the one set up by the former President Olusegun Obasanjo administration, the group described the memorial service approach adopted by the state as the tonic needed to achieve genuine reconciliation and peaceful coexistence once the Commission was estab-

lished in the state. “The memorial service in honour of the departed heroes is a call for subsequent actions necessary to establish true reconciliation Wxq] Y W#X VX_Y Xk q] Y and communities. This position is in line with global practices which include the

Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa, in Nigeria under Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and in several other countries where such injustices took place,” it said. The group praised the administration of Chief Godswill Akpabio for or-

ganising the memorial service adding that while it had lifted a spiritual burden, there was a growing need for questions to be asked about the gruesome murder and answers “provided so that history would be fair in its assessment of these events”.

Dickson laments decline in Federal allocation to Bayelsa UCHENNA NWAFOR, Yenagoa

T

he Bayelsa state Governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson has lamented over the sudden decline in federal allocation to the state, even as he assured the people of the state that his administration would continue to pay salaries of civil servants promptly. However, political ob-

servers in the state have decried the Governor’s continued lamentation on the decline in allocation, arguing that with the present allocation to the state, the Governor should still do the needful for the people of the state without complain. The Governor who made this known through a statement issued yesterday by

Libya warns United Nations of possible slide into civil war

L

ibya warned the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday that the chaotic North African state could descend into full-scale civil war if heavily armed warring factions are not disarmed. The 15-nation council met to discuss Libya days after its parliament, which was replaced in an election in June, reconvened and chose an Islamist-backed deputy as the new prime minister. That left the country with two rival leaders and assemblies, each backed by armed factions. “The situation in Libya is complicated,â€? Libya’s United Nations Ambassador Ibrahim Dabbashi told the council. “Yet the situation since the 13th of July has become even more complicated and the situation might unravel into a full-blown civil war if we’re not very careful and wise in our actions.â€? ]Y “ŽÂ?YšºYZXW[Â?Y^‡ZV-

Dabbashi said.

“In the past, security incidents were limited, isolated and rare,� he added. “But today the clashes ... (are) between two armed groups using heavy weaponry. Each group (has) its own allies scattered in the other regions of the country.� He said it was crucial to disarm those groups. In response to the increasing chaos, the council passed a resolution on

Wednesday that tightens the arms embargo on Libya and extends sanctions to groups and individuals that threaten the country’s peace and stability. British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, council president this month, told reporters the council would move swiftly to come up with concrete names of those who would face international asset freezes and travel bans.

he Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed more than 1,552 people out of 3,069 known cases in four countries and “continues to accelerateâ€?, the World Health Organisation (WHO) said on Thursday. The epidemic in the region, the deadliest since VZXY _ˆ‰XW‰XY §W‰Y ^k‰VY discovered in 1976, has killed nearly as many people as all the previous known outbreaks combined. “More than 40 percent of the total number of cases have occurred within the past 21 days. However, most cases are concentrated in only a few localities,â€? the United Nations health agency said in a statement. The WHO is later due to launch a new strategic plan for tackling the spread of the virulent disease.

NASS, NAFDAC and fake drugs war

T

he shutdown of 400 pharmaceutical stores in Kano and Lagos drug markets in June highlights the renewed activities of merchants of death in the face of weak regulatory agency and the lack of interest of the National Assembly to speedily passing the bill to tighten the noose on poison peddlers. The constitution of a support federal task force signals that the National Agency for Food Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has lost grip in checking the mushrooming of counterfeit drugs importers and manufacturers. The current massive proliferation of substandard drugs freely sold without inhibition in open markets is a giant reversal of the good works of the late NAFDAC boss Prof. Dora Akunyuli who survived assassins bullets in the bold drive to chase out of business merchants making blood money from poisons peddled as medications.

q§X[XkÂ?YVZXY‰XWÂŽYq#Yq`Y about 400 pharmaceutical shops in Idumota and Mushin in Lagos and in Sabongari in Kano last month might reduce the widespread of fake drugs distribution, if sustained and not compromised with bribery and corruption, and if the national legislature and federal government stand up to their responsibility of passing speedily the bill for life jail for peddlers of fake drugs. The bill has been marooned at the National Assembly for more than 18 months with no one telling the public why such an important bill to protect the health of innocent Nigerians should be ignored. The Federal Task Force on Fake and Counterfeit Drugs and Unwholesome Processed foods, which seized substandard drugs worth N700 million in the raid, is made up of NAFDAC, and other

stakeholders, including the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria, the Police, and the Customs department. NAFDAC Director General Dr. Paul Orhii said the raid uncovered counterfeit and expired drugs, such as antimalarials, antibiotics, aphrodisiacs with pornographic pictorials as well as fake and expired prescription, controlled drugs for treating terminal diseases. However, observations show that the shut shops in Mushin have been reopened and now dispense the bogus drugs from hideouts outside the prying eyes of regulatory agency. The task force must be vigorous and sustain incorrigibly the clampdown to route the merchants of death. More importantly the FG and NASS must bring out of the cooler the NAFDAC bill prescribing life imprisonment for fake drug manufacturers and importers. The House of Representatives had 18 months ago commenced debate on the vital bill to check impunity of poison medicine manufacturers, importers and peddlers. Newswatch had in the past one year repeatedly _kW§]Y YW]_Y YWDX]Vˆq]Y to speedily passing the bill into law. The long bureaucracy delay had fuelled suspicion, which we asked government to dispel, that fake drug barons might \XYWDXxŠVˆ]‡YVqY‰ZqqVY_q§]Y the NAFDAC amendment bill, as drug counterfeiting is a global, multibillion-dollar illicit business. Nothing much has been heard on the bill’s progress after passing second reading in the House. The bill is to tighten the noose on manufacturers and distributors by amending the Fake Drugs and Unwholesome Processed Foods (miscellaneous) Act Cap C34 of 2004. The maximum of life sentence new bill is to replace the slap-on-wrist maximum jail of 15 years with an option of N500,000.

In the new amendment, hawkers of prescription drugs risk seven years jail term, while all convicted fake drug producers and peddlers would ZW[XYVZXˆkYŠkqŠXkVˆX‰Y”q]^‰”WVX_Y VqY”qxŠX]‰WVXYˆ_X]Vˆ^X_Y[ˆ”Vˆx‰Y of fake drugs.

View Point Ribadu’s defection and colour of politicians Friday, August 29, 2014

T

he season of defection by politicians is becoming more interesting and surprising going by the latest move by a former Presidential aspirant of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, decamping from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Ordinarily, one should not be too worried about the move if not for the dramatis personae in this latest development. What seems to make Ribadu’s case more troubling is because the man in question is not just like other politicians but he’s highly revered by the generality of the people for his discipline, forthrightness, courage and frankness. Ribadu, whose self-acclaimed drive for the ‘pursuit of a good cause’, had energised his ambition to fully contest the Adamawa governorship bye-election slated for October 11, following the impeachment of the former Governor Murtala Nyako, who was controversially removed from q6”XY\Â?YVZXY VWVXY q“‰XYq`Y ‰‰Xx\ÂŽÂ?•Y Observers believe that each contestant has almost equal chance of producing the next governor. And how did Ribadu come ˆ]ĂŠY XY§W‰Yk“xq“kX_YVqYZW[XY\XX]Y_kW`VX_Y into the governorship race at the last minute by the Presidency on the recommendation q`YVZXY kˆ]”ˆŠWÂŽY kˆ[WVXY X”kXVWkÂ?YVqYVZXY kX‰ˆ_X]VÂ?Y x\W‰‰W_qkY W‰‰W]Y “¨Â“kÂ?Y§ZqY is said to be Ribadu’s classmates, having enjoyed many years of mutual and sustained relationship together. With the development, the former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) chairman’s defection was said to have already polarised the party ˆ]Y _WxW§WY VWVXYW‰YŠWkVÂ?Y`WˆVZ`“ŽY§XkXY‰Wˆ_Y to have kicked against the alleged plot by the national leadership of PDP to foist him as its candidate and the likely consequence ‘a Ribadu candidacy’ could have on the fortunes of the party in this election as well as the 2015 presidential election.

Adewale Kupoluyi thwarted for a number of reasons.

ŠXk”Xˆ[X_Y‰XÂŽX”Vˆ[XYˆ]‰ˆ]”XkˆVÂ?Yˆ]YZˆ‰Y^‡ZVYW]_Y war against corruption. Many had observed that Ribadu only went after perceived enemies of his boss and the then President, Chef Olusegun Obasanjo. Another point that may work to his disadvantage is the gang-up by some serving PDP governors, who were said to have begun moves to stop him because it is strongly being ˆ]‰ˆ]“WVX_YVZWVY^XÂŽ_ˆ]‡Y ˆ\W_“YW‰Y”W]_ˆ_WVXY for the election could be dangerous as they were not sure whether he was being planted by the opposition party in the ruling party with the aim of spying on the government that had been previously criticised by APC of corruption, poor performance and lacking clear focus. Lastly, the powerful members of the party, who fought to ensure Governor Nyako was impeached at all cost, were said to be restrategising on how to stop the possible imposition of Ribadu. With the latest decamping of Ribadu to PDP, it is clearly a pointer to the lack of discipline and political ideology on the part of our politicians. It has shown that venturing into partisan politics is not about rendering of service to the people. I wonder if our politicians ever ponder on what they say in public. I am not sure how Ribadu would feel now when reminded that he had vowed never to not join the PDP even ˆ`YZXY§W‰Yq#XkX_YVZXYŠkX‰ˆ_X]VˆWÂŽYVˆ”¨XVY`qkY`kXXÂ?Y not long ago as well as describing President

Again in this transfer window, foreign clubs are interested in the Wolves player, but it remains to be seen whether it will be more than just an interest. “In every window there has been activity around him, and we thought after all he will leave in January.

ormer national team xˆ_^XŽ_Xk�Y kˆ_W�Y Ekpo has called on the warring factions in the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) crisis to embrace peace in order to move the game forward. Ekpo made this call while reacting to the current crisis rocking the football house in the country. He said it was a shame that those who were supposed to chart a new cause for the country’s football are busy bickering over their personal interest at the expense of the progress of the round leather game. He, however, called on the warring factions to sheath their swords to ensure that normalcy returns to the football house for the

‡WxXYVqY¡q“kˆ‰ZYW‡Wˆ]• “I am ashamed of what is going on in our football at the moment. “My only advice to them is that they should sheath their swords and put their house in order in the interest of the country. “It is unfortunate that the warring parties seem not to understand the rare privilege they have by the position they occupy. As far as I am concerned, I don’t see

the need for this intractable crisis in the glasshouse. “I am quite sure that the crisis is not about how to reposition the game in the country, rather it is about self-interest. It is all about what each person wants to grab from football rather than what they are to contribute to the development of the game in the country. “It is really sad. Once again, I want to beg them to have a rethink and see the

need for them to sheath the swords and put their house in order for the good of the game and country,â€? Ekpo said. Meanwhile, the former Abiola Babes and IwuanÂ?W]§Â“Y WVˆq]WÂŽXYxˆ_^XÂŽ_Y maestro has made a case for the inclusion of ex-internationals in the administration of football in the country for Nigerian Football to be taken to greater heights. “I think the way forward is for credible people to be allowed to mount the saddle. Again, it is high time that those who played the game are made to be part of the administration of the game. “There are many knowledgeable ex-internationals who served this country creditably and they are also vast in the knowledge of the game. They should be allowed to be part of the administration of the game because they have all it takes to reposition the game in the country.

Igboun has played a total of 121 Premier League matches and scored 34 goals for FCM, where he has covered several positions. 24-year-old Igboun was brought to FCM seven and a half years ago from collaborative team FC Ebedei. The Nigerian who has started rehabilitation, is expected to miss games against Gaziantepspor and Akhisar Belediyespor. Last season, he played for Spanish Las Palmas, and scored 8 goals in 25 Segunda Division matches.

Rape, abuse: The law to the rescue of Nigerian child Ayodele Olalere

S

ometimes in the first quarters of last year, a case of physical and sexual assault on a 12 year-old girl (names withheld) was reported by the media. According to the report, the girl was allegedly raped by one Uche Chibueze, a 22-year old man in Akute, one of the suburbs in Ogun State. The report stated that the girl, who lived with a guardian, Edwin Alagbaso was asked by Uche to follow him to a church, known as Solution Church, where she would get spiritual solution to an undisclosed problem she was facing. On their way, Uche was alleged to have taken her to a nearby corner of the street and took off her clothes. But Divine intervention made a resident pass by before the real damage was done to the life of the little innocent girl. Chibueze was believed to have confessed that although he had taken off his shorts, ‘I had not fully penetrated when a resident caught us and raised the alarm. I tried to flee but they apprehended me. I explained to them that it was not rape but they did not listen to me.” The situation got worse for the girl when, according to the report, she got home and was physically assaulted by her guardian, Alagbaso. He was reported to have ‘picked a razor blade and inflicted injuries on the scalp of the victim.’ Alagbaso also ‘allegedly used an iron rod to beat the victim and later used a knife to cut her in the legs. As the victim was reportedly bleeding from the head and other parts of the body, the residents, who had been pleading, intervened and took her to the hospital.’ The girl’s guardian said he carried out the acts to punish the victim ‘for allowing herself to be raped’ and to serve as a good lesson to her. “I punished her by shaving off her hair so that she would not look attractive again and men would not want to rape her in future. I also beat her so that she would not go out without permission because if she dies, people will blame me since I was the one that brought her to Lagos. I did not mean to beat her up to that extent, but I was angry. It was the devil that pushed me to beat her so much. However, the police do not have the right to detain me since I am the guardian and I have the right to correct her”, Alagbaso claimed in his alibi. The two offenders were arrested by the police detained in cell and prepared for criminal prosecution of child abuse. While Agbaso was charged for physically assaulting the victim, Uche was docked for alleged rape. The above incident is one of the many cases of child abuse that have been reported in recent times. Many under-aged girls have been victims of abuse from their guardians or bosses,

victim beaten for being raped

even parents in some instances. The constitution of Nigeria provides laws that protect the right(s) of a child. Laws for children of different ages were provided so as to protect them from physical, mental or sexual abuse. In Chapter IV of the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Section 33-46 guaranteed certain fundamental human rights for children. Section 33 guaranteed right to life, right to dignity (Section.34), right to personal liberty (Section 35), and right to freedom from discrimination. These rights are enforceable and punishable if violated under the rules governing the criminal code. The Criminal Code has a range of offences outlined with the purpose of protecting and preserving a child’s dignity. Section 30 of the constitution stated that, “A person under the age of seven years is not criminally responsible for any act or omission’ and that ‘a person under the age of twelve years is not criminally responsible for an act or omission, unless it is proved that at the time of doing the act or making the omission he had capacity to know that he ought not to do the act or make the omission.’

Chapter 21 of the Criminal Code also provided punishments for anyone who assaults a child whether male or female. According to Section 216, ‘any person who unlawfully and indecently deals with a boy under the age of fourteen years is guilty of a felony, and is liable to imprisonment for seven years,’ while Section 217 also stipulated three years imprisonment for similar case involving males As for Section 218, it says that ‘any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of girl under the age of thirteen years is guilty of a felony, and liable to imprisonment for life, with or without whipping. As for the right to life, Section 300301 of the constitution as well as the Criminal Code also set out duties or responsibilities of guardians or parents to protect the child’s right to life, protection and preservation. They are expected to provide for necessaries of life for the children and should abuse them physically. Various international conventions have also made provisions for the protection of a child. In Article 1 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly (1948), it stated that “All human beings are born free and equal

Parents should also learn to have their children under their care. When you send a child to live with a family member without constantly monitoring the child, and be sure of the character of the relative, there is tendency for the child to be abused by such relative

in dignity and rights” and Article 2 said that everybody (including a child) is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in the Declaration. On the African continent, The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (1991) provides protection against ‘child abuse and torture, child labour, harmful social and cultural practices, sexual exploitation, for children separated from their parents and adopted children. Experiences have also shown that many children who suffer abuse are those separated from their parents and live with either family members, or serve as maids. The Charter stated that ‘Every child has the inherent right to life, and shall ensure to the maximum child survival and development. Children shall not be separated from their parents, except by competent authorities for their well being. Parents shall have the primary responsibility for a child’s upbringing but states shall provide them with appropriate assistance and develop child-care institutions. Children who have suffered mistreatment, neglect or exploitation shall receive appropriate treatment or training for recovery and rehabilitation. According to the Article 14 of the charter which dealt with health and Health Services, it says that ‘Every child shall have the right to enjoy the best attainable state of physical, mental and spiritual health. However, in spite of the above laws and rules to protect the right of a child, many cases such as the one stated above are still being reported in Nigeria. Many children are still being physical abuse or sexually molested. Barrister Franca Orji commented that government needs to do more in protecting the rights of children. According to her, many children are being deprived of their rights due to negligence on the part of the authority to punish offenders adequately. She is also of the view that the high rate of poverty has made some parents to abandon their responsibilities in monitoring their children by sending them to go and live with relatives who, at the end maltreats the child. “Government should be alert to their responsibilities by making sure that every child is protected under the law. We cannot have cases of underaged being maltreated by uncles, relatives, neighbours and so on. These children are the future of the country. Every Nigerian child deserves dignity and no child, under no circumstances should be maltreated.” “Parents should also learn to have their children under their care. When you send a child to live with a family member without constantly monitoring the child, and be sure of the character of the relative, there is tendency for the child to be abused by such relative. So it is important to protect the right of the children as stipulated by the law.

EZEOBI: Exit of the lawyer’s lawyer Emeka Nwadioke

T

he passing of Chief Theodore Anachuna Ezeobi (SAN) came to many as a shock. Not because anyone expected the quintessential advocate to live `qkX[XkY \“VY \X”W“‰XY ˆVY ˆ‰Y ÂŤÂ“ÂˆVXY _ˆ6”“ŽVY to imagine a gathering without Ezeobi’s zestful interventions. Everything about Ezeobi was electric and electrifying! Not one given to timidity or half measures, the real tragedy would have been if Ezeobi’s life and times did not generate debate, even controversy. His colourful life was decorated with both. And he would only be smiling down from heaven, knowing that human progress is greatly enhanced by same. I can vividly recall a session of Otu Oka-Iwu Lagos where Ezeobi was holding court as usual in the twilight of his eventful earthly sojourn. An issue arose and Ezeobi quickly and characteristically sprang to his feet, intoning: “Sue them, just sue them!â€? To say that those words made a strong impact on me, coming from Ezeobi as it were, is an understatement. It was immediately obvious to me that this was a classic jurist whose belief in the X6”W”Â?Y q`Y Zˆ‰Y Škq`X‰‰ˆq]WÂŽY ”WŽŽˆ]‡Y §W‰Y total. It was even more poignant that this was a time when virtually everyone was bemoaning the hiccups and gaps in our justice delivery system. Apparently, Ezeobi was born to be a lawyer and nothing else. Indeed, his inroad into the legal profession was fortuitous. His childhood dream was to be a doctor. Thank God his plans were torpedoed, I dare say. As it turned out, medicine’s loss was an awesome gain for Nigeria’s legal profession and the Nigerian Bar.

XYÂŽX`VY\qVZY\XDXkYVZW]YZXYxXVYVZXx• If it is said that Ezeobi’s life was a mish-mash of contradictions, the critic would not be very far from the truth. Or how does one reconcile that a strict disciplinarian -who indeed was a member of the NBA Disciplinary qxxˆDXXY W]XÂŽY Y™Y§W‰Yq`VX]YVZXYĂ“kX\XÂŽY with a cause,’ challenging authority at every turn? Given his keen sense of justice and zealous disposition, Ezeobi was ever willing to speak truth to power. Indeed, he thrives in dancing Ă“q§Wx\XÂśY §ZXkXY W]‡XŽ‰Y `XWkY VqY VZkXW_•Y He simply does not mind whose ox is gored insofar as he is questing for truth, equity, justice and fairness. To say that Ezeobi and injustice are strange bed-fellows is to state the obvious. He belongs to that tiny band of iconoclastic advocates who are consumed more by the well-being of the majority than ‰“#“‰X_Yˆ]Y‰XÂŽ`™‰Xk[ˆ]‡Yq\Xˆ‰W]”X•Y A consummate Bar man, no meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) was complete without Ezeobi’s lucid interventions. Indeed, the NBA leadership described him as a “very ”qxxˆDX_Y WkYxW]Â?šYW__ˆ]‡YVZWVYÂź Y will sorely miss him.â€? ˆX§X_Y\Â?YxW]Â?YW‰YVZXYӔq]‰”ˆX]”XYq`Y the Bar,’ Ezeobi was the voice of reason and rectitude in eras of trenchant moral turpitude. Inevitably, he was often viewed as an unwelcome irritant by reactionary forces. But Ezeobi carried his cross with dignity and equanimity, his ”W]_qkY W]_Y ”q“kW‡XY ]X[XkY ¡W‡‡ˆ]‡Y `qkY a moment. His single-minded devotion to every cause he believed in was all the motivation he needed to forge on. For him, it was immaterial that the tide and the entire world were against him. His principled stand on issues has doubtless

helped in pushing back the frontiers of tyranny both within the Nigerian Bar and elsewhere. Apparently, he took his civic mindedness from his late father, an acclaimed community leader and foundation catholic, and would later say that “I challenged myself not to be anything less a personality than my father.â€? His elder brother, Christopher §W‰Y WŽ‰qY WY ‰Vkq]‡Y ˆ]¡Â“X]”X•Y ¸Xq\ˆY took great pride in his alma mater, Government College, Umuahia, and would tell anyone who gave him a listening ear that that was the same school the late Chinua Achebe and ‰qxXYqVZXkY‡kXWV‰YWDX]_X_• ZXY^k‰VY ˆ‡XkˆW]Y qxŠW]Â?Y X”kXVWkÂ?Ă› Legal Adviser of Standard Bank of Nigeria Limited (now First Bank of ˆ‡XkˆWY Ž”ŽÂ?Y VZXY W””qxŠŽˆ‰ZX_Y ¤Â“kˆ‰VY was Chairman of NBA Lagos Branch and NBA representative at the National Judicial Council (NJC). He was also a member of Nigeria’s Body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria (BOSAN), Body of Benchers, Council of Legal Education, ‰ˆWY W”ˆ^”Y W§Â?Xk‰Y ‰‰q”ˆWVˆq]Â?Y W]_Y International Bar Association (IBA).

P

astors are ordained men of God saddled with the responsibility of taking care of the spiritual needs of God’s people in Christendom. Unfortunately many of them have deviated from their callings to engage in all manner of atrocities ranging from kWŠXÂ?YkˆV“WÂŽY¨ÂˆÂŽÂŽÂˆ]‡‰YW]_Y‰W”kˆ^”X‰YVqYˆ_qŽ‰Â?Y all in the name of conducting deliverance for their innocent members. But the fact is that many of them are not called by God, they are false prophets W]_YVZWVY‡qX‰Yq]YVqYWDX‰VYVqY§ZWVYVZXYZqÂŽÂ?Y Bible says in the book of 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 which states: “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ? And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deedsâ€?. The story of the 37-year-old Pastor Segun Alawode of Eternal Sacred Order C & S Church Sabo, Odogbolu, Ogun State, who was arrested recently by the state police command for allegedly raping a 32-year-old lady in his church paints the Šˆ”V“kXY\XDXk•YY Daily Newswatch investigation however revealed that there is astronomical increase in professed pastors raping of minors and older women in recent times.

Another pastor, 38-year-old Pastor Samson Odeyemi, was arraigned for raping a 40-year-old married woman in May this year under the pretext of spiritual cleansing to solve her problem in Igeobazuwa area of Benin City. According to the woman, she went to the pastor to seek spiritual healing because she was ZW[ˆ]‡Y‰ŠˆkˆV“WÂŽYWDW”¨Â‰Â• In the same May also, a self-claimed pastor, the General Overseer of Vineyard Ministry of the Holy Trinity, Timothy Ngwu, was arrested by the police in Enugu State for impregnating over 20 female church members under the pretext that he was obeying the will of God. Recently also, a 51-year-old pastor, Sunday Akintayo, of Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Ajelogo, Mile 12, Lagos was remanded in prison custody for sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl and infecting her with staph. He was alleged VqY ZW[XY _ˆŠŠX_Y Zˆ‰Y ^]‡XkY ‰X[XkWÂŽY VˆxX‰Y into the private part of the child before ”qxxˆDˆ]‡YVZXYW”V• Adewale Adeleke, A 23-year-old, fake Celestial Church prophet, was also alleged to have raped a woman on July 26 at 6 p.m. at the premises of Original Inn Hotel, Ebute Meta, after promising to solve some of the her problems through a private prayer session. Yet another rape involving a pastor and a minor was also reported in Oyeagu Abagana in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State where a girl, 12-year-old Ijeoma Mbiaka claimed that the pastor of her church, one Rev. Sampson Otisi allegedly lured her to a hotel, under the pretence of conducting deliverance for her against her hearing

He further said he will still pray Elisha’s prayer of 2 Kings 4:34 which reads, and he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon VZXY”ZˆŽ_Ă?YW]_YVZXY¡X‰ZYq`YVZXY”ZˆŽ_Y§WÂ&#x;X_Y warm. He said that he will do such to me before anointing all the parts of my body for the cleansing to be successful. “I didn’t understand what he meant.

I found a place to dress up and went back home. I couldn’t tell my husband when I got home because I know he won’t believe me. Reacting to the repulsive stories of pastors raping church members, Doyin Ayeola, a Redeemed Christian Church of God member blamed it on people’s desperation and gullibility. He said, ‘the issue is, most of our people are gullible. They follow the so called pastors sheepishly.

He however encouraged Nigerians to be vigilant and not to be too desperate on things even pastors has no power over. He said, ‘when you are too desperate on what pastors doesn’t have power over, then, you are opening up avenue to be exploited,â€? he added.

Procrastination: Pro Crash The Nation SAMUEL UFOT EKEKERE

D

on’t wait till 12.00am, a leaflet carrying a picture of a clock read before my eyes. I was so engrossed with interpreting its meaning that the picture became clear. Time is precious commodity. One can never have enough of it, yet in the face of this startling reality, much of it is wasted. The irony that characterizes time is the thought that there is so much of it. We count many years ahead looking into the future only to be shock at how much has gone before our eyes. It seems a normal phenomenon pushing today’s actions for tomorrow. We assume that all the time is available to get a task done but we forget that each day comes with its own set of tasks. Every day produces enough for each day. Each day’s achievement is measured by how much we are able to get done within

the time frame of the day. Through history, great achievements have been rubbished by the failure of would-be achievers to act when they should. Christopher Columbus deferment of his desire to cross over from the West Indies to the mainland of America cost him the opportunity to have the continent bear his name. Maybe today the American continent would have borne the name Colombia. Michael Ford’s delay at releasing his automobile patent cost him the title “the inventor of automobile� to Karl Benz. The putting-off of a now event for later has posed disastrous to many military campaigns. Hitler’s Nazi Germans delay at crushing the English brought about the greatest comeback in history and the decline of Hitler and the Germans. The increasing spate of terrorist attacks across the world is a result of the failure of governments across the world to act when they should have

acted. The power in an idea is when it is carried out now. The only time you have to own your idea is now. We may assume that our idea is ours to keep however, there are many other persons who are also working towards the same idea. The first to get the idea working owns the idea. Research is ongoing to develop the cure for ailment such as Human immunodeficiency virus / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), Ebola and so on. It would be great if every one of the research centres develop each, their independent cure. However, the first to develop the cure will claim to be the discoverer of the cure to this ailments however much the number of research centres working to find the cure. The nation needs actors who know what to do, how to do it and are choosing to get it done now. The change anticipated is a change for

N Nmoh’s book is for youth transformation to greatness –NYCN Chairman From CYPRIAN EBELE Onitsha

S

atisfied with the book titled, “In Our Minds, Reflection of the Youths at the Centenary,� authored by Mrs. Angela Onuko Nmoh, the Anambra S State Chairman of National Youth Council of Nigeria, (NYCN), Comrade C Nduanya, yesterday IInnocent described it as a book meant for d ttransformation of the youths to greatness. g He added that, “the work is a potential ability to regain the lost p aand develop the down trodden, the youths should take the advantage of y tthe quality of its contents to produce tthe book�. He recalled that President Goodluck JJonathan had, during the book-launch

/presentation held at International Conference Centre, Abuja described the book as the centre of his transformation agenda especially, at this time of infrastructural development of the country. The President, who was ably represented by his Vice, Arch. Namadi Sambo, expressed satisfaction that the author used her creative ability to present to Nigerian Youths the need to engage in meaningful ventures and stressed the need for human capacity development and social transformation among Nigerian youths including those in Diaspora. The presentation of the great work of art which contained some aspects of the country’s march towards greatness, however, coincided with this year’s International Youth Day

celebration tagged, “Nigerian Youths at the centenary,� and celebration of the country’s 100 years of amalgamation, by a representative of the British colonial master, Lord Lugard. The author of the book, Mrs. Nmoh, who is also the National coordinator of “Thank God it’s Centenary,“ (TGIC) had in her response, said that the work was aimed at touching the lives of the masses and bring about human capacity development and social transformation. Mrs. Nmoh disclosed that all United Nations’ member states mapped out every 12August each year (World Youth Day ) as a platform to celebrate, educate and teach the youths the right values and reposition them.

now. Change isn’t for the future. The future change has to begin from each now step. Our anticipation of future change when present actions are not taken is a blind step that is bound to cause some swaying. Man’s tendency towards procrastination is hugely because of his vague understanding of the value of now. Economists know the impending danger of inflation to any project or commodity if it fails to be carried out at the time it was intended for. Often, developers cost building projects based on present cost and time -frame allowing for allowances in case of inflated price during the period of the project. They are aware that the cost of carrying out a project meant for now will cost less than the same project planned for the future. The culture of procrastination is fast eating deep into upcoming generations. You’d hear a mother ask her son to carry out a task and the son replying that he would carry it out later. Why not now? Our nation struggles to find her feet because what should have been done decades back was left undone transferring years of failed task to this present time. If leaders act immediately, they discover a little dwindling of service in an area of the economy or society, running the government and the country in general would cost less. When duties that would be of help to the nation isn’t carried out when its most needed and less costly, it lives a costly gap that must be filled in the future. Roads won’t fail if the man in charge of maintenance checks on the roads as often as expected and covers portholes before they become gullies. House wont fail if cracks aren’t considered too little to be checked. We must recognize that little actions jettisoned today could lead to catastrophes tomorrow. The time to act is now. Act now, don’t delay.

The star also lost his dad, Pa Micheal Idibia to prostate cancer after a long battle. As expected, Tuface is in a sober mood over the demise of his father. No doubt, his death has left a huge vacuum in his life.

Islam don’t want Boko Haram’s caliphate –MURIC

SUBAIR MOHAMMED

M

uslim Rights Concern (MURIC), an Islamic rights group, has condemned the recent declaration of Gwoza, Borno State as Islamic caliphate, by Boko Haram group, describing it as a statement of secession which must not be allowed. This was contained in a statement signed by the coordinator of the group, Prof. Ishaq Lakin Akintola which was made available to Daily Newswatch. “We of the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) hereby totally and unequivocally reject this declaration (by Boko Haram declaring Gwoza as a caliphate). XY kXW6kxY q“kY `WˆVZY ˆ]Y VZXY “]ˆV�Y and indissolubility of Nigeria� the group said. Quoting from the glorious Qur’an verses which command total obedience to constituted authority, the prophet of Islam commandment of the quest for knowledge and the honour placed on a girl-child, the group stressed further that “Almighty Allah says, “Oh you who believe, obey Allah, His Messenger and those in position of authority.� (Qur’an 4:59). Islam therefore commands obedience to constituted authority, but Boko Haram has chosen disobedience to and belligerence towards the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Commander-inChief of the Armed Forces, Dr.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Whereas Boko Haram members are aware that the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General of the Nigerian Supreme Council for ‰ŽWxˆ”Y #Wˆk‰Â?Y ÂŽZW¤ÂˆY “ZWxxW_Y Sa’ad Abubakar III is the indisputable leader of all Nigerian Muslims, they have refused to heed all his appeals.

Whereas all-encompassing education is one of the basic tenets of Islam (Qur’an 96:1-5), Boko Haram forbids Western education. Whereas the Prophet (SAW) in the hadith commands education for all, Boko Haram seeks to alienate women from education. Again, whereas the Prophet (SAW) honoured the girl-child and commanded his followers to do same, Boko Haram kidnaps and enslaves y young g and innocent

girls thereby exposing them to wild life and subjecting them to unimaginable psychological trauma. Boko Haram’s declaration is a statement of secession and must not be allowed. Gwoza must be liberated within days.

No hypocrisy in Islam

SUBAIR MOHAMMED

I

n a video recently released by the leader of Boko Haram group, Abubakar Shekau, he stated that Gwoza community in Borno State is under his sect’s control which implied that the area would be governed according to his _X^] V q]YW]_Y ]_Xk VW]_ ] Yq`Y§ZWVY WxY is. “We are in an Islamic Caliphate. We have nothing to do with Nigeria. We don’t believe in this name,” declared Shekau disregarding what Allah says about unity among the ummah. But is this what Islam preaches? Killing, slaughtering, bombing and destroying people’s properties. Shekau was right when he said “there is no hypocrisy in this religion (Islam). It is only the truth”. But what explanation is best to explain his action and libel against the religion of peace, if not, hypocrisy? Certainly, Islam and the noble Quran are and would remain religion of peace and the only guidance for mankind regardless of the activities of worldly forces. Islam preaches peace and tolerance among people q`Y_ #XkX]VYkX q]YW]_YkW X Y VYW Yx ZY as it is the code for morality and also the constitution for all Muslims, it does not allow for killing, slaughtering, and imposition of one religion over the other or of one community claiming superiority over the other. “And if your Lord had so willed, He could surely have made mankind one ummah (nation or community) following one religion i.e Islam, but they will not cease to disagree” Quran 11 v 118. Why are there wars and killings in the ]WxXYq`Y kq W WV ] Y WxYW]_Y^ ZV ] YVZXY cause of Allah? Why is there intolerance among races in the world, even within people of same religion? Why are Boko Haram killing innocent souls and perpetrating evils under the garment of

propagating Islam and establishing Islamic caliphate in spite of the fact that Islam preaches peace and unity among humanity? That Islam exists together with other religion is not by accident, Allah intends it so. So, no religious sect, fanatic or extremist W]Y ZW] XYVZWVY\X W XY]qYxWDXkYVZXYX VX]VY of killings and destruction of properties, VZXkXY§ Y_X^] VX Y\XY_ W kXXxX]VY ]YVZXY teachings, beliefs and doctrines of all the religions. In other words, there is greater need for religious tolerance. Mankind must tolerate one another, shun violence and adopt peaceful means in the propagation of their respective religions. Islam as revealed to Prophet Mohammed (SAW) accepts and believes in the Prophethood of Jesus Christ and his gospel. The prophet of Islam also encourages Muslims to search for knowledge even as far as China which was considered as the farthest during the era of the prophet (saw). Murder is strictly forbidden in Islam and particularly for Muslims, except lawfully.

Allah says in Qur’an 6:151 “and do not kill a soul that God has made sacrosanct, save lawfully.” In other words, murder is forbidden, but death penalty can be imposed by the state where necessary. qY VZX Y ]qVY kX·X VY q]Y kW]Y »À»ºY §Z ZY says, “… who so kills a soul, unless it be for murder or for wreaking corruption in the land, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and he who saves a life, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind.” There cannot be a religious motive for VXkkqk x Y WZY `qk\ _ Y X[Xk Y WDXx VY VqY impose Islam on other people. Islam’s holy book forbids coercing people into adopting any religion. They have to willingly choose it, as there is no compulsion in religion. The mission of the prophets and messengers of God was not to forcefully impose their teachings on the people, but to guide them and ask them to accept God with their own will. God says to Prophet Muhammad in Quran 2 : 256 that “There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from the wrong

There is greater need for religious tolerance. Mankind must tolerate one another, shun violence and adopt peaceful means in the propagation of their respective religions

It has been, since the period of the prophet of Islam. In Makkah, Muslims were not allowed to practise their religion. As a result, they were persecuted and subjected to various forms of inhuman treatments by the idolaters. And in his bid to protect the Muslims, Prophet Mohammed sent them to the king of Abysinia, a Christian king in a largely Christian- dominated city. Without any form q`Y_ k x ]WV q]YW]_Y\ qq_ XD ] YVZXY¨ ] Y of Abbysynia harboured the Muslims and provided shelter for them throughout the period of their stay in the city. The concept of holy trinity in Christianity is a major diverse point with Islam. Whatever belief that is being held by adherent of any kX q]Y YWYxWDXkYq`Y`W VZY§Z ZYq] Yq kY creator is the only just judge. But we need to consider other aspect that has direct impact on the lives of others. It is a fact that in every Muslim family, VZXkXY x VY _X^] VX Y \XY WY Zk V W] Y Z Y among other reasons, implies that we must be tolerant of one another. Allah says in Quran 2:62: “But give the glad tidings to the believers that “ surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.” [X]Y ]YZ Y XX Z Y ZX¨W YWDX DX_YVqYVZXY fact that victory is only from God and Insha Allah, it surely shall swing to the path of the righteous who thrive in the course of their Lord.

Islam versus Ebola hen I wrote “On Ebolaphobiaâ€? on this page two weeks ago and followed up with “Of Ebolaphia and Ebolaphobesâ€? in another column of mine last week, I thought I was done with the “celebratedâ€? Ebola disease. However, as the disease continues its deadly rampage and everyone scampers for cover, the recent insightful submission of the former President of the Association of African Universities (AAU) and SecretaryGeneral of the Nigerian Supreme Council `qkY ‰ŽWxˆ”Y #Wˆk‰Â?Y kq`•Y ‰™ZWÂŤY •Y ÂŽqÂ?X_XÂ?Y on precautionary measures from the Islamic perspective is spot on. Captioned “Islam guards W‡Wˆ]‰VY \qÂŽWšÂ?Y Y^]_Y‰ZWkˆ]‡YˆVYˆkkX‰ˆ‰Vˆ\ÂŽXYVZ“‰À Since the outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in March this year and its transmission to Nigeria through the late Liberian diplomat, Patrick Sawyer, on July 20, 2014, there have been interventions from Governmental and Non-governmental bodies on how to curb the spread of the deadly disease. NSCIA WŠŠkX”ˆWVX‰YVZXYŠkqxŠVYX#qkV‰Yq`Y q[Xk]xX]V‰Y especially those of Lagos and the Federation on its curtailment so far.

In other words, beyond the exposure of the current Ebola challenges, Islam as a way of life has provided appropriate mechanisms that guarantee both safety from and prevention of infectious diseases at all times. First, the Prophet (SAW) said, in an Hadith narrated by ‘AbdurRahman bin ‘Auf, “If you hear the news of an outbreak of an epidemic (plague)in a certain place, do not enter the place; and if the epidemic falls in a place while you are present there, do not leave the place.â€? The implication of this is that it is a religious responsibility not to travel to areas associated with the deadly virus. It is also a religious responsibility not to travel out of the infected areas as Patrick Sawyer did, for which he had received condemnation from the public.

Then, Muslims must be in a state of purity before every prayer and this involves the use of water and observance of sanitary conditions. Islam insists that one washes one’s hands with soap and water after defecating (or scrub the hands on a hard surface such as sand or rock) in order to be pure. Besides, the institution of ablution which begins with washing hands underscores the premium Islam places on this preventive mechanism against Ebola. Those who wash their hands often would guard themselves against Ebola infection. Islamic prescriptions on protective wears for corpsewashing and permissibility of not washing
