Fashola promises to hand over stable, robust economy

G

overnor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has assured people of the state that he would hand over stable and robust economy to his successor, stressing that his administration has put in place measures towards ensuring that the next government is not bogged down by financial burden. Fashola spoke Wednesday during an interactive session with media executives and Government House correspondents, which was held at Lagos House, emphasising that the state is the only in the country that has international Fitch rating of AA positive with stable outlook for the future and added that it has also demonstrated the latitude to sustain its debt profile up to date. The governor debunked allegation by the opposition that future of the state has been mortgaged with high debt profile by his administration and described it as sheer ignorance, disclosing that every fund borrowed by the administration since inception has been committed to investments, which have now raised living standard

of the residents. He added that no government worth its name could deliver quality services to the people without borrowing, but what is important is

working out viable debt plan towards proper servicing. “The administration of my predecessor was committed by law to pay 15 per cent of its

monthly internally generated revenue (IGR) to the account of its trustees of the N25 billion bond it raised. “There was a lot of opposition during the

administration (my predecessor) when it raised the bond and one of the onerous conditions imposed at that time was that the state should pledge by law

‘Nigerians need prayers to escape doom’ PETER DADA, Akure

A

rchbishop of Ondo Province of Anglican Diocese, Latunji Lasebikan, has urged Nigerians to pray towards avoidance of doom that may arise from the forthcoming elections. Lasebikan spoke yesterday at Ilara-Mokin in Ifedore Local Government Council of Ondo State after the conferment of Church of Nigeria’s benevolent award on Chief Michael Ade Ojo by Primate Nicholas Okoh. The cleric expressed fear on the continued existence of the country after the forthcoming elections, stressing that cloud of uncertainty is roving over around the country, therefore, Nigeria needs God at this point in time. “It is not about painting glooming pictures

that it would commit 15 per cent of its monthly IGR to the account of the trustees who lent us the money. “At that time, the IGR was N2.2 billion, so nobody saw IGR of N20 billion at that time. So we are still paying 15 per cent of N18, N19, N20 billion every month into the account and management of the trustees. “My administration paid off the bond raised by my predecessor’s in its (my administration) first year and of the N275 billion that my administration borrowed, we have paid N50 billion with the next tranche falling due in 2017. By the time we paid this N50 billion, we had over N80 billion in our Consolidated Account just to pay N50 billion.”

but looking around and seeing glooming pictures. Politics is not played in Nigeria alone. It is played in different parts of the world, but when it takes along indiscipline, anarchy, dis-

courteous attitude, we know there is problem. In some states, they are not following the constitution and government is going on, that is anarchy. “Anarchy is not only when you take cutlass

and kill one another, once you disobey the rule of law, things have broken down. Do I talk about workers who have not taken salaries for three or four months and people are preparing for elections

with the same money, it is not encouraging. “Our leaders must learn righteousness, doing correct things. That is why the constitution is there, but people flout it with impunity.”

Eid-el-Maulud: Let’s set aside our differences –Amosun

A

s Nigerians join Muslims a c r o s s the world to observe the birth of Holy Prophet Mohammed, (Peace be upon him), Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has urged Muslim ummah to use opportunity of the holiday to reflect on state of the nation and preach peace as exemplified by life and

teachings of the Holy Prophet. A goodwill message issued by Amosun’s Senior Special Assistant on Media, Mrs Olufunmilayo Wakama, emphasised that the need for continued prayers and peaceful coexistence as the 2015 elections draw nearer. “It is only in an atmosphere of peace that we can be joyous,

therefore, we must learn to live in peace with one another. The life and teachings of the Holy Prophet typified peace, just as Islam is a religion of peace.” The governor wished Muslim ummah rewarding and peaceful celebrations, stressing that as various political parties begin their campaigns in preparation for the forthcom-

ing elections, people need to set aside their differences and elect the right candidates at all levels. “I urge our people to vote in the right candidates at all levels by setting aside ethnic and religious sentiments. As for us in All Progressives Congress (APC), we would continue to deliver the dividends of democracy to our people.”

ife of Oyo State Governor, Mrs Florence Ajimobi (JP), has urged people of the state to embrace peace and shun violent acts in spirit of the season. Ajimobi spoke yesterday at Catholic Hospital, Oluyoro in Ibadan, the state capital, during her visit to ‘baby of the year’, stressing that the most important asset anyone should desire now is peace because it is the only way the state could further be developed. “It is important for us at this period to continually seek peace in everything we do. It is only in peaceful atmosphere that we could achieve our dreams and make things work well.” The ‘baby of the year’, a girl, was delivered at 12:20 am to Mrs Calista Igwe and weighed 3.3kg. The first lady donated gifts to the baby and prayed for her, while she urged the parents to take proper care of the baby to attain the Godgiven potentials. She also visited and donated gifts to 11 other babies who were delivered between December 30 and 31, 2014 as well as all children that were on admission in the hospital.

The new targets include ~^Y[ ƒZ ƒ^ƒ  ]\_[ ]Z [ `ZY[ entity suspected of assisting the Iranian government to buy or acquire U.S. currency, and two companies linked to human rights violations. Iran said the U.S. move contradicted the spirit of the nuclear talks between Iran and the six powers known as “P5+1â€? - the United States, France, Germany, Russia, China and Britain. “At a time negotiations are underway with P5+1, such a move raises doubts about America’s intentions and violates the good will principles,â€? foreign ministry spokesW`„]Z[ ]€ŽƒYX[ ¸X]„[ was quoted as saying by

The “P5+1� reached a preliminary agreement with Iran last year for it to suspend its most sensitive nuclear activity. Western countries in turn eased some economic sanctions.

unpopular budget cuts under Greece’s bailout deal, and the leftwing Syriza party of Alexis Tsipras, who wants to cancel austerity measures along with a chunk of Greek debt. Opinion polls show Syriza holding a lead over New Democracy, although its margin has narrowed to about three percentage points in the run-up to the vote. However weakness among the small parties that either Syriza or New Democracy would need to form a stable coalition has also added to the uncertainty and raised the possibility that the next government may not survive long. Tsipras, who says he wants to keep Greece in the euro, has sought to present a more moderate †]fY[ |`[ ~Z]Zfƒ]\[ „]€‹Y|_[ and reassure voters that a Syriza-led government would not raid their bank accounts. But the potential arrival of a government openly opposed to the international bailout keeping Athens from bankruptcy has fueled a nervy mood `Z[ ~Z]Zfƒ]\[ „]€‹Y|_‰[ even if the impact has been more limited than in past crises.

Akpom enjoys comparison with Henry

Francis Ajuonuma

P

romising Nigerian youngster, Chuba Akpom is enjoying a great deal of comparison with Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry at the London Colney training ground of the Gunners. The gangling forward was recently tipped by Manager, Arsene Wenger to hit the headlines soon. During Wednesday’s training session ahead Thursday’s Premier League against Southampton, Akpom was a delight to watch, prompting former Barcelona and Chile forward, Alexis Sanchez to nickname him “Titi” after the legendary Arsenal striker, Thierry Henry as a respect for his amazing talent. Akpom posted a pic-

ture of the pair at training on Wednesday on his Instagram account, alongside the caption: “Training this morning (Wednesday) with Lexis! He calls me “Titi” (Thierry) funny guy lol.” The rapid 19-year-old has been with Arsenal since the age of six, and has excelled in the Gunners’ youth teams, scoring three goals in four UEFA Youth League ties last season, and also a hat-trick in the 6-1 FA Youth Cup fourth-round win over Peterborough United on 6 January. Akpom announced in September that he had broken the club’s 10m record with a time of 1.56sec. He has made three appearances for the Gunners senior team, and last season went on loan to League One sides, Brentford and Coventry City. Henry, of course, recently ended his illustrious playing career at the age of 37. He is Arsenal’s record scorer, with 228 goals.

he Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is bent on hiring an expatriate coach to handle the Super Eagles next year if the current sit-tight Coach, Stephen Keshi opts not to adhere to NFF terms. His contract expired since after last summer World Cup and yet to be renewed.

An NFF source told Newswatch Sports Times that it is 90 per cent certain that Keshi who is not in the good book of NFF will not return to his duty post next year having been given unsavoury conditions to remain. “There is the possibility that we will go for a world class foreign coach. This time we will go for a quality coach rather than quacks. The new coach should be one with vision and must be ready to work for our country and not a coach that will hold the whole nation to hostage. No man can be bigger than his fatherland,’’ the source declared.

The duo of out-of-contract former Costa Rica coach, Jorge Luis Pinto who guided Costa Rica to their best World Cup ever and Colombian Argentine born coach, Jose Pekerman have been alerted, but our source said: “We have not gone into negotiation with anybody. Anything you hear now is speculation. We don’t know yet and the board has not come up with any decision or contact with any coach. We will get a clearer picture of how it will go in the New Year (2015). Just be rest assured that we will go for the best and

nothing but the best,’’he posited. On how the NFF will bankroll the huge salary of the incoming coach, he said: “That is not your business. All the same, it will not be a problem. We have a large number of sponsors queuing up to be part of the deal. Let’s Y|[|`[|XY[} Y[~ _|[}Yfore we cross it.’’ Nigeria has employed 19 foreign coaches since 1949 with Clemens Westerhof being the most successful of them all. Swede coach, Lars Lagerback, who led the Super Eagles to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was Nigeria’s last foreign coach.

Chukwu charges NFF to make Keshi decision

x-international, Christian Chukwu has challenged the leadership of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) to be bold enough to declare their position on the fate of the immediate past coach of the national, Stephen Keshi. According Chukwu, keeping Nigerians in the dark, concerning the head coach job of the Super Eagles is not health for the team. “The Board of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) should be bold enough to state their position on Stephen Keshi and stop this ]> | Y[` [ ] Z [ Y ]Z_[ leave in the realm of speculations and rumours,” Chukwu began. “I don’t know why the

board of the NFF led Pinnick Amaju will not have enough courage to make their stand on Keshi known. “As for me the NFF should declare their position on the issue of Keshi WXY|XY [ |XY{[ ] Y[ `8Y Z [ him a new contract or not so that Nigerians will know who is in charge of the team. “If they are not going to award a new contract to Keshi, they should be able to state so and at the same

time appoint a sound coach for the team and by so doing we will know what we are doing. “Apart from that there is need for us to build our team around the home based players because it is easier to train the home based than foreign based players because the home based players could camped for a month in a stretch and they can go back to their various clubs after the camping but

the same cannot be said of foreign based players. “I have always been a strong advocate of building our national team teams on home based players because it is easier to manage than relying on foreign based players. “We should be able to build our team on 80 to 90 per cent home based players because we have good defenders, wingers, strikers ]Z [ ~Y\ Y _q[ [ _ ZfY Y\{[ believe that if at all we need to invite foreign players it should be because the players coming from abroad are exceptionally good and that the areas we are inviting them for are the areas we are Y~f YZ|[ Zq “If look at the South African players during the [ ]\ ~Y _ [{` [W \\[ discover that none of them is based abroad but are local players and look how they messed the Eagles up simply because they are hungry for success.”

NFF, Eagles failed in 2014 – Chukwu

F

ormer national team captain and coach, Christian Chukwu, has taken a hard knock on the performance of the Super Eagles and the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with the declaration that both failed woefully.

Though, the Enugu Rangers consultant admitted other national teams were able to do well, he emphasised that the time has come for the NFF to brace up and reposition the game in the country.

“Well, as far as I am concerned, administration of the game in the country represented by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) failed woefully last year, same with the national team the Super Eagles. “Who would have believed that Nigeria couldn’t qualify for this year’s Africa Cup of Nations in a group that could ‚]__[ ]_[ Y]_{[ ‡€` ‚Ë[ [

pinions will always be divided on whether the outgone year, 2014 had any cause for Nigerian Sports to celebrate. And everyone on each sides of the divide would always reel out statistics to back up stance. Former Super Eagles’ Captain, Nwankwo Kanu told caring ears that Nigeria failed in 2014. But Kanu merely looked at the football and not holistically at Nigerian sports. The lanky player didn’t reckon with the feats of any other national football teams, but the Super Eagles. His reasons were that FIFA does not grade countries with the performances of any other national team other than the senior national male team. So, since the reigning African Champions failed to scale the hurdles to Equatorial Guinea so as to defend her title at next year’s Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria failed in 2014, Kanu surmised. Yet, the former African Footballer of the Year didn’t also reckon with the daunting circumstances under which those feats were achieved. In truth, Nigerian sports could be said to have fared well in the year under review bar the Super Eagles blemish. Nigeria’s U-20 women football team (the Falconets) shocked |XY[ `€\ [|`[€Y]fX[|XY[~Z]\[`†[ [ ¿[ `„YZ[ `€\ [  Â‚[ in Canada, where they lost narrowly to Germany by a lone goal.

It W]_[|XY[~€_|[|ƒ„Y[]Z{[f` Z|€{[W` \ [€ \Y[ †€ƒf]Z[†``|}]\\[ in both categories. This is to say nothing about individual accolades the players notched up at both competitions.

But, according to Nwankwo Kanu, all that count for nothing because Nigeria missed out on the biggest stage – the AFCON.

Preparation key for AAG glory

uper Falcons head coach, Edwin Okon has called for adequate and early preparations ahead of qualifying matches for the 2015 All Africa Games (AAG) in Brazzaville, Congo. The reigning African champions already have a ~€_|ÂŹ\Y‡[Ă…Â ]\Ġ{ƒZ‡[€`] [|€ƒ‚[ date against the Malian opponents in February. Okon said the West African opposition are not a bad choice, but insisted that preparations will be crucial to the side’s performance in the qualifying race as well as the championship proper. “Mali are good for us as adequate and early preparations will be quite crucial |`[„]‹Y[|XY[ˆ`}[`†[Ă…Â ]\ƒ~f]tion a lot easier. “At least three or four

top grade friendly matches will help us to prepare for the Malian challenge, especially as the foreign-based players are unlikely to be available as the competition is not captured in the FIFA calendar. “Early camp resumption will help to bring the domestic players together to commence preparations and blending before the Mali tie. “The AAG champion_Xƒ‚[ ƒ_[ |XY[ ~€_|[ X Â€ \Y[ WY[ must cross early in the year and we must start very well to help us excel in subsequent challenges -- the 2016 \{„‚ƒf[ ]„Y_[ Ă… ]\ƒ~Y€_[ ]Z [ |XY[ ~Z]\[ `†[ ¿Â›ĂŠ[ [ Women’s World Cup in Canada. “We want to qualify for the AAG as well as the Olympics, so we’ve already told ourselves that those dreams will become reality through hard work. “We’re ready to work hard to achieve our targets, but we need encouragement and support of everyone,â€? said Okon, who is also the coach of Nigeria Women Premier League (NWPL) side, Rivers Angels. Nigeria did not qualify for the women’s football events of the last All Africa Games in Maputo, Mozambique and the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

T

he year 2014 will remain remarkably one of the best for women football in Nigeria.It was a year Nigeria performed excellently at both the world stage as well as at the Continental level. The year in review also witnessed a revolution in the domestic league with the introduction of the Women Premier League Â? ž[†`€[|XY[~€_|[|ƒ„Y[}{[ the Nigeria Women Football League (NWFL). Though, Nigeria, represented by the Flamingoes did not go beyond the quar|Y€~Z]\[ _|]‡Y[ ]|[ |XY[ ¿Â›Âœ[ FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup held from March 15 through to April 4 in Costa, the country however, made Africa proud with the Super Falconets playing as far ]_[ƒZ|`[|XY[~Z]\[`†[|XY[¿Â›Âœ[ FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Canada only to narrowly miss the title by a slim 1-0 defeat to winners, Germany. That feat was followed by the Super Falcons, who went to Namibia and conquered the rest of the continent to reclaim the African Women Championship (AWC) held from October 11-25 in Windhoek a record seven times and sealed a ticket for the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup holding in Canada from June 6 through to July 5. Nigeria’s performances at the international scene have forced followers of the game in the country

to score women football in the year under review very high, but were quick to give some knocks on the domestic league, which they believe witnessed some inconsistencies. That took shine away in what would have been a very successful league season in 2014. “Well, in summary, at least we’ve had achievements. In 2014, I want to take women football as a hub; we’ve achieved something this year by reachƒZ‡|XY[ ~Z]\[ `†[ |XY[ [ Under-20 Women’s World Cup and then at the same time winning the African Women Championship. I think that is something positive to the women football. “But if I’ve to dissect it sector by sector even though the league (Women Premier League) has been concluded, I think there’s much to be desired; much to be done because I think the way the league (Women Premier League) was conducted was not satisfactory.SoI think much needs to be done to improve the league because it’s from the domestic league that we can achieve something with the national teams. “So on average, if I consider our performances, internationally and locally,I’ll score us 60 percent,� Chairman, Taraba Queens FC, Mustapha Tahir gave his scorecard on women football in 2014. The executive secretary of the NWFL, Isaac Ajisafe, as expected did not see any

shortcomings, rather believed that huge progress was made as it concerns Nigerian women football in 2014. “If you ask me how women football fared in 2014, I’ll say we did brilliantly.

At least I’ll give them 80 percent, but there is need for improvement in this 2015. “I see a very green light for female football, but I keep on saying that unless we get sponsors; I mean corporate sponsorship,the league won’t grow. “Yes, the league ended but I still want more of it. You see some of the clubs are sponsored by individu-

als, so without any proper sponsorship the league will remain as it is. It was good last year but we need improvement so that we can ‡Y|[ ][ }Y>Y€[ \Y]‡ Y[ ƒZ[ |Xƒ_[ coming year.� Ex-international, Stella Mbachu, who recently quit the Super Eagles, on her part, thinks the 2014 was good for the game in the country, but would have }YYZ[ }Y>Y€[ ƒ†[ |XY[ \Y]‡ Y[ had enjoyed sponsorship. “It’s obvious that Nigeria excelled when we talk about womenfootball in 2014 because in all the international competitions we featured, our teams were outstanding; from the Flamingoes to the Falconets and then to the Super Falcons, so it’s a great year for Nigeria. “The league to some extent was okay; if I say okay, that does not mean everything with our league is okay. The league needs to improve more. There’s no sponsors yet, so they need to source for sponsors so it can improve more,� she said. As observed,Nigerian women football in 2014 did well and deserves all the positive accolades, no doubt about that, however, credit must also go to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for their tremendous support towards the national teams, which made it possible for the teams to make their impact felt in the various world championships they featured in.

Police, govt, judges going on vacation, causes of prison congestion–Barrister Nkanor FRANCIS IWUCHUKWU

P

risons congestion have been blamed on the Judiciary for the delay to deliver judgment, while the inmates, particularly those with minor cases are remanded for longer time, so what is your take on this? First of all, let me make it clear; there are many contributing factors that cause prison congestion. One, the Police; |XY[ \]W[ _]{_[ |X]| [ `\ fY[ _|[ ~Z _X[ its investigations within or before 48 hours, otherwise they should take the case to court pending the completion of the investigation. So, when the Police eventually take the case to court, the court will deploy what is referred as ‘Holding Charge’, as the court sends the suspect straight to prison on remand. Sometimes, we experience this at the magistrate courts. For instance in case of murder, the Police take such case to the magistrate’s court which has no jurisdiction to try murder, armed robbery, rape or arson cases pending when the Police would forward the f]_Y[ ~\Y[ |`[ |XY[ Z _| {[ ` [ _| fY [ |X]|[ would later prepare the information ]Z [ _ }_YÅ YZ|\{[ |] Y[ |XY[ ]>Y [ |`[ court. There are instances where the magistrates send the suspect to remand and the Police would abandon the case while the suspect continued to languish in prison. Another factor also comes from the Police because if the Police prosecutor does not complete investigation, the case cannot commence trial. Many a time, in the court, the Police will say, “my lord or your worship, investigation is yet to be completed. And until investigation is completed trail cannot go on and pending that investigation, some magistrates may not want, depending on the nature of the case. Some of the inmates may be granted bail, but nobody to stand as surety to them, so they remain there. Consequently, some magistrates constitute the prison congestion because they have the interest to just punish the suspect by giving stringent bail conditions. For instance, the court may say that the surety to bail the suspect must be a civil servant on the level 14 or 16 in Sokoto and must possess a landed property with the Sokoto jurisdiction. So in such situation where the surety is a southerner, how would that be reliable because certainly you cannot get a southerner working here in Sokoto with that level? That, to me, is indirectly not giving the bail. How many civil servants ` [_` |XY Z[Y«| ]f| `Z[f` \ []>] Z[|X]|[ level and acquire a landed property. Sometimes the same may ask for the [ ` [ [ Zf\ Z [ ][ \Y>Y [ ` [ `8Y [ ` [ appointment from the civil service. The lawyers too, on their part, contribute to this factor, for asking for adjournments of their cases. Some of the lawyers that are not ready yet to prepare their cases, so they ask for adjournment upon adjournments. Also the government policy that has made that every year the high courts would go on annual vacation. So within the period of the vacation all cases would be pending. Unless on emergency situations that cannot wait till the courts Y_ Y [ _ fX[ f]_Y_[ ] Y[ ]>YZ Y [ |`[ }{[ the judges who are already on vacation,

But the reform of Judicial during the tenure of immediate past CJN, Hon Justice Aloma Mukhtar took care of those things. The reform, in this case, is not the sole responsibility of the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), all stakeholders must be involved in this quest to ensure things are put rights again. On our part here, in Sokoto and the Northwest zone, we have admonished ourselves to be of good conduct in the practice. We are talking about dignity here; the reform should start from individual behaviour which would be extended to the society. ^Y {[ \]W{Y [ _X` \ [ f`Z~ [ X _Y\ [ to the tenets of this noble profession, because it is at stake.

Police, govt, judges going on vacation, causes of prison congestion Continued from Page 37

driver was arrested one early morning by the police, because they(taxi drivers) are known to leave early for business, so they demanded money from him, but he was not having, the police at that point hurriedly took him to one of the magistrates court in Benin and labelled him a suspect, from there he was taken straight to a prison remand, while his family at home did not know his whereabouts as they searched for him ƒZ[ ]{_‰[„`Z|X_[} |[f` \ [Z`|[~Z [Xƒ„[ dead or alive. So about two years of the driver’s search, the family came to my chambers and report their predicament to me. Immediately I started going from one police station to the other and prisons, until I got to one prison on enquiry, when I saw the driver’s name W€ƒ>YZ[ Wƒ|X[ €Y [ ƒZ‹‰[ |X]|[ ƒZ ƒf]|Y [ W]_[ Y] q[ [|XYZ[~\Y [][f]_Y[]‡]ƒZ_|[|XY[ authority, asking for compensation to his family which I later got a judgment in that regard and the family was duly compensated. Back here in Sokoto, they are countless, ranging from individual oppression or the government. Because that is what I think I should render assistant to those that are oppressed that do not have the legal fees to pursue their case. Going back a bit on the competence of magistrates in handling cases especially those supposed not in their jurisdiction, could it be that they are ignorant of their limit or are such vested on personal interest to mar justice? Every magistrate is well equipped with the knowledge of knowing the cases that they are competent or not to handle when and before they were sworn in. They had their basic orientation. XY{[ ‡`[ |X€` ‡X[ f` €|[ ]>]fX„YZ|[ |`[ familiarize themselves with the system. Every magistrate has jurisdiction, has an area of competence. I think, where there has been a misunderstanding is the issue of ‘Holding Charge.’ The Supreme Court has held in several occasions that holding charge is not known in law. So, if you follow the stand of the Apex Court, it means that where a case is taking to a magistrate court of no competence, no jurisdiction, and such magistrate court should reject the case out rightly. For instance, the cases or rape, arson, murder or armed robbery, the magistrate court does not have the jurisdiction to handle such. So, if this is well implemented for strict ] XY€YZfY‰[ |XY[ }Y>Y€[ †`€[ |XY[ _{_|Y„q[ Here in Sokoto; for instance, when you raise an objection to holding charge, you are over ruled. That is, an objection that a magistrate court has no locus standi |`[ ] ˆ ƒf]|Y[ `Z[ _ fX[ „]>Y€[ ]‡]ƒZ_|[ you client, your objection is overruled. That is why you see those people sent to the prison by the magistrate are also awaiting trial by the same magistrate court which is a total violation of the law. Therefore, an outsider may conclude that the magistrate has compromised the law by receiving bribe or connived, whereas in the real sense there is no connivance or bribe taking, it is just that the practice here allows the magistrate to do that which ought not to be. If the magistrate’s court have been rejecting such cases that it does not have the jurisdiction to handle, the Police would have been taking such cases to high courts where there would have been

speedy trial as the court of competence that has the jurisdiction to handle them. Aside this, our magistrates are commended because they have achieved a lot in terms of facilitating and delivering judgment within the time frame. Do you think the country is ripe for ‚€ƒ^]|Y[ ‚]€|ƒfƒ‚]|ƒ`Z[ ƒZ[ |XY[ _Y>ƒZ‡[  ‚[ and running of law schools in terms competence? The country has given licenses to private individuals to own universities, where most parents preferred to send them to, because of the standard of these private schools. You do not record cultism, rape , gangsters, abuse of drugs and other social crimes, the atmosphere are conducive, nobody is molesting anybody for whatever reason; the students concentrates on their studies because there is discipline there. So, if we have a private law school established in the country that would subsequently produce intelligent and brilliant lawyers that would ensure there are no malpractice in the school. I was embarrassed the other day when I listened to the National Assembly debate on the discovery of examination malpractice in the law school. So we really need the people in this profession who conduct themselves well, that proves that noble men of the bench, void of any kind of corruption. We have a prestigious private university

in the country, known as Afe Babalola University which is being reckoned with by every part of the world because of its academic standard and with his reputation. I’m sure Babalola would not want to have his reputation go down; hence the watch word here is, ‘Standard’. Government can give a trial to see how it comes up just as gave licenses to these institutions.

I know that the law has made it clear |X]|[]Z{}` {[`€[‚]€|{[|X]|[ƒ_[Z`|[_]|ƒ_~Y [ with the judgment of a high court can go to Court of Appeal. In high courts, there is only one judge presiding, therefore, it is common that the judge may have misunderstood the law, may misapply the law in giving judgment. Whereas in the Court of Appeal, you have more judges at a time, minimum of three, that would sit. It is assumed that out the three judges that would sit, a maximum of two would support you or would be against your case. That means, justice which might have been denied at the high court might be given in your favour at the Court of Appeal. Yet, in the same vein, somebody or a party may not be _]|ƒ_~Y [Wƒ|X[|XY[ˆ Â‡Â„YZ|[ Y\ƒ^Y€Y []|[ the Court of Appeal. And he goes to the Supreme Court, where the judgment might be reversed in his favour, or

Zakari Ibrahim, Comptroller-General of Prisons

sometimes the Supreme Court could uphold the judgment of the Court of Appeal. There are many instances of such, (Peter Obi vs Chris Ngige) in Anambra state gubernatorial election, where Obi lost initially at the election Tribunal, at the Court of Appeal, but succeeded at the Supreme Court, Abuja, which installed him as the governor of that state while his opponents mandate W]_[ _]f‹Y [ †€`„[ `CfY[ }]_Y [ `Z[ |XY[ ruling by Apex court. I really commend the Nigerian Press, how they have brought the activities of the Judiciary to the knowledge of the common man. And the Judiciary is as well commended for ensuring that justices are done. How do you react to the pending Child’s Rights Act directing the state legislatures to adopt it, having passed the bill by the federal legislatures, to protect every child from inhuman treatment? It is a well development and except the federal government enforces it on the states, that is if it has the vested power to that. Every state may not want to adopt the act because of some religious and cultural undertone. For instance, in some parts of the country, where a girl child is forced into early marriage, at the ages of twelve and thirteen, even against the wish of the girl. The states that practice such do not see anything wrong in forcing a very under aged female into early marriage, that is total violation of the rights of such child. Also, a situation where some children move from house to house singing and begging for food and alms, so how would such states abolish what they have embraced as their religion and practice? It is going to be very ƒCf \|q[ ƒZ [ {` Â‰[ }{[ |XY[ Z]| Â€Y[ of our country’s constitution, the government has certain restriction in compelling certain issues of national discourse over the states. That will pose a serious setback to see this child’s rights work in these areas. In that essence every state government should embark on sensitization and reorientation programmes for her state to understand the fundamental issues ]_[|XY{[]8Yf|[|XY[WY\\}YƒZ‡q[ Xƒ_[f` \ [ be done, at the churches, mosques, schools, public places to reduce the consequence, because these children who are vulnerable to rape, forceful trading, hard labour, rituals and other exploitations need to be protected and give them their rights in the society.

Prosecutor’s enormous demands in criminal justice process xx

National Theatre, Lagos, not sold –Duke ADA DIKE

T

he Minister of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, Chief Edem Duke has debunked the story on the purported sale of the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos to United Arab Emirates conglomerate Mulk Holdings. The Minister described the news as “absolutely false and arrant nonsense!� he made this statement in a phone conversation with the Newswatch Times. “Why would people peddle falsehood when one phone call is enough to verify fact or fallacy? Duke queried. In the same vein, many people have €Y]f|Y [ |`[ |XY[  Zf`Z~€„Y [ _|`€{[ `Z[ the sale of National Theatre, Lagos, and warned that National Theatre should be a national monument to be preserved to generations yet unborn. According to Mr. James Ibeh, a musical artiste, “This can’t be true. No country sells its heritage.� “Why should National Theatre be sold to a foreign nation? The Federal `^Y€Z„YZ|[ _X` \ [ €Y^ƒ_ƒ|[ |XY[ „]>Y€[ for tomorrow’s Nigerians and stop the idea of selling the National Theatre,� says Mr. Idowu Adeleke, a performing artist. In August 2013, Duke, in a chat with Newswatch Times revealed that though arrangements were on-going for the proposed plan for PublicPrivate Partnership in upgrading the National Theatre and its environs, he did not reveal how far they had gone in the plan. Commenting on the stage they have reached on the proposed concession of the National Theatre, he stressed: “We are still at the preliminary stage of the project and taking out a roadmap, but it is important that in doing that, we must carry all Nigerians along, especially, the National Assembly with representatives from all over the country who hold a mandate to represent the interest of the public,

and what we have seen today, is an eloquent testimony of the fact that it is time for a renewal of the National Theatre. “The state of rot, the state of dilapidation and the state of abuse of the asset that makes up the National Theatre and makes up the commonwealth of Nigeria has been raped by people who have no positive consideration for us as a country.

Asked to comment on the amount the government was likely to make from the proposed concession, he said: “It is not an immediate thing. What we have in mind in terms of the business plan now is an assumption based on credible facts that this project would }YZY~|[ |XY[ ‡`^Y€Z„YZ|[ ƒZ[ |XY[ ]€Y][ `†[ N100 billion and that over a period of 30 years, whoever invests here would f`Z|ƒZ Y[ |`[ ‚]{[ „`ZY{[ |`[ |XY[ f`8Y€_[ of the federal government for the }YZY~|[ `†[ |XY[ YZ|ƒ€Y[ f` Z|€{[ ]Z [ ]†|Y€[ a period of concession which we have to be agreed by all subscribers to this initiative. Then the project will revert to the federal government of Nigeria. “This is a classic initiative, classic platform and opportunity for Nigeria, and unless we are being mischievous, the statement and the business plan are very clear and very transparent. I cannot tell you that this is likely to generate a N100 billion Naira for the government, tomorrow it turns out that it generates N150 billion and people will misinterpret it,â€? he added. Last year, Newswatch Times learnt that there had been series of meetings between interested companies with the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation concerning the concessioning of the National theatre, but the outcome of the meetings was not revealed. ]€\{[\]_|[WYY‹‰[ Zf`Z~€„Y [€Y‚`€|_[ had it that Chief Duke had sold the National Theatre in Lagos to United Arab Emirates conglomerate Mulk Holdings in a deal said to worth about

National Theatre, Lagos, not sold –Duke Continued from page 44

In 2001, the then president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, announced plans to privatize the National Arts Theatre and this sparked controversy amongst Nigerian entertainers and playwrights including Professor Wole Soyinka. Consequently, the recent Federal Government’s plan to engage Public Private Partnership (PPP) in the management of the facility was greeted with protests and outcry after a quit notice was issued to National Gallery of Arts (NGA), National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) and the National Troupe of Nigeria (NTN). Many people accused the government of turning the theatre to a hotel, while some people became sceptical, alleging that few people might be interested in building structures in the theatre premises. Sources stressed that often times, they would hear that government has privatised a project or property and few individuals would end up using pseudo names to acquire such property for themselves. But, Minister of Tourism, Culture and National Orientation, Chief Edem Duke, earlier debunked that allegation and said that Transaction Advisor was engaged, to, among others give Transaction Advisory Services for the application of Public-Private Partnership option for the delivery of the necessary services on the land.

This was designed 37 years ago, when the theatre was built but because of lack of funds, the plan did not come up,” he said. Also speaking then, the General Manager of the National Theatre, Mr.

Kabir Yusuf also revealed that the main bowl of the National Theatre needs about N4 billion to put it back in shape but there is no fund to make it work. “All over the world, no theatre stands alone. So, we have to source for funds, WY[f]Z |[]\\`W[]Z[Y ~fY[\ Y[|X]|[|`[ Y[ just like that. It is a symbol of culture,” he said. He showed the reporter a voluminous bound document that proved that

the idea was documented in April 1983. “The contractors will build these structures and use for 30 years to recoup their money, after which it becomes government property.” Observers have therefore, advised the government to ensure that the arrangement is done with transparency to enable both Nigerians and foreigners derive maximum satisfaction from National Theatre.

One of them intoned with a voice laden with obvious awesomeness “Oyinbo ni” meaning “he is a white man”. Really, the man walking with a swagger was very light in complexion, and his “whiteness” was accentuated by the brightness ` [ |XY[ _ Z[ WX fX[ f Y]|Y [ ][ ]fY| Z [ Y8Yf|[ `Z[ his oily face.

They immediately resumed their game with a tint of disappointment that matched the windy pall of dust that beclouded the sky. If this story is interrogated, one will observe that the children obviously had more respect for the white man they had imagined than the black man that eventually emerged. To them, the white man is an extra-ordinary person because they must have been told and perhaps experienced the ‘magic’ of the systematic development of Western civilization; a civilization premised on progressive buildup of ancient innovations up to modem Z^YZ| ^YZY__ [ ][ | X[ ]>] ZY [ }Yf] _Y[ of the feat of documentation which made it possible to develop fully what their progenitors initiated. It is this culture of documentation that we unfortunately lack in Africa, and the lack-lustre growth rate of our development is certainly not because there is paucity of knowledge and geniuses, but essentially because we are limited in knowing the history of our heroes and stunted in researching their landmarks.

Onobrakpeya is said to have synthesized modernistic aesthetics with his own Nigerian heritage using improvised techniques. Some of his works are further analyzed by exploring the use of lines, colours,

textures and other elements of design as integral part of his abstract compositions. CONCLUSION (Critical Perspective of the Artist) Onobrakpeya’s cultural ideology and its manifestation on the works he produced Z[]\ `_|[~^Y[ Yf] Y_[] Y[f | f]\\{[ Y^ YWY q[ The author brought out the complex connotations of social and cultural aspects of realities as chronicled by Onobrakpeya whose ideas and philosophies are calculated to help upgrade and uplift the life of the people. Onobrakpeya’s humane disposition is also mentioned. He is described as a generous artist who is willing to share his scholarship, innovations and industry with students and colleagues. The book is richly and copiously referenced with bibliographical data covering twelve pages. The book is closed with an enviable curriculum vitae of the famous Bruce Onobrakpeya; the printmaker per excellence, a painter of repute, a sublime poet, a teacher, an erudite scholar, a recipient of many awards and honours, and above all a humanist whose Z ~fYZfY[ Y_` Z _[]\\[`^Y [|XY[f`Z| ZYZ|_q[ TECHNICALITIES: [Z }Y [` [Y ]|][f` \ [}Y[ YZ| ~Y [ Z[|XY[ book.

One would also have expected an index of names and topics that are referred to in the book. Perhaps a glossary of artistic terminologies, especially the innovative experiments of Bruce Onobrakpeya’s materials and techniques such as araldite epoxy, plastograph, plastocast, lvorex, bronzed - lino etc. This would have facilitated easy understanding of the new words. The revised edition may also consider a realignment of the preface with other parts in order to lift the sequence of the book outside its dissertation structure. FINAL NOTE The author, Dr. Richard A. Singletary, is no doubt a scholar with penetrating gazes. His simple and lucid styles complement the visual images depicted by the photographs. He is a versatile artist whose musical training both as practitioner and theorist manifests in his calculated balancing of structures. Dr. Singletary’s multi-disciplinary approach to the study equally aided the depth of the research, and as an experienced individual, he was able to avoid histrionics in spite of his closeness to the artist during the course of the research. His deliberate use of “Onobrakpeya” as the title of the book is _{ }`\ f[]Z [_ Z ~f]Z|Æ[ Yf`Zf \ Z [][ Contemporary African artist with the genius of great European modernist artists such as Picasso, Brancusi and Moore. In a period where the ‘traditional art’ of Africa is considered superior to the contemporary art, where the modernist tendencies in Africa is regarded as mere by- product of Western decadence, it becomes a singular success for Singletary to dismiss such artistic subterfuge by coming out with a book that celebrates the creative genius and technical sagacity of a reputable contemporary artist in person of Bruce Onobrakpeya. It is therefore with artistic pleasure and scholarly contentment that I recommended this book to all culture enthusiasts, all scholars of culture, art historians and critics, artists and art students all over the world to read and keep at least a copy of ONOBRAKPEYA.

C Real reason Shalamar music group split – Jeffrey Daniels

ontribution of Nigerian Idols to the th music Industry

OnFirst, this is Steve St ochie’s CD that I have here; her he is from season 2 and I am also putting out Joe Blue. Through this platform, p bringing some I think Nigerian Idol is bringin top quality singers that are up- and come out. - coming and about to co There are lots of songs on the tunes, usradio using auto tu ing beat and doing a lot of these kids chart slide, but the are singing with real vowhat incal ability. That’s w that’s why spires me and tha with Steve I am working wit They are O and Joe Blue. T didn’t win singers; they did won, but the show, Mercy w they got quality singing talent in them an and I am going to bring that out t and bounce it off with o other mechanical mechanica stuff So, I think that’s going on. So will help Nigerian Idol w quality into bring vocal qual the industry. As a member of Shalamar Shalama music group, do you think th the group gave their best to the industry at that period, comp compared to what is happening now now? There are good and talented people now, but you can’t to Shalamar, compare them to Sh because we came up in the industry that was built bu step by step; that is, ABC ABCD over decades. We wer were influenced by music greats like gre Marvin Gay, Smok Smokie Robinson, and these types of t people helped build this bu big industry that tha is in America today. In I Nigeria now, suddenly sudden they just put the industry i in the go and they are t going from A to t about S or W. I will like up – and- coming comin Nigerian artistes to have a little more mor quality control, not just throw something som out there because

it’s popular or because you are going to make quick money. They should excise a little quality control; there are some who are doing that but not the whole industry. Even in American, you got a lot of people just doing this hip- pop and gangster thing, they just jumped on that because it was the easy thing to do and so, it just happened everywhere. But in Nigeria and Africa, that beauty, the sound of African voice and African instrument, you don’t have to lose it because that is what is going to sell and impress us before the world. Your songs are still evergreen anytime it’s played, unlike songs we produce today that you listen to once and will not want to listen to it again, what’s the reason? Like I said before, quality control; if they put great songs, great lyrics and great melodies together, it will be evergreen like you said. Your group Shalamar lasted for a while and these days groups don’t last for a long time. What kept you guys together for that long? It’s happening in America too. What kept us together was that we were all trying to do something great and we were not just trying to make quick money. We were not after car, jewelry or bottle of champagne. The depth of the music and the message concerned us. We spent nights in the studios. One time, we did like three days at a stretch without going home because we were working on something and we were doing everything possible to complete it. So, in trying to achieve our task; we had a little break, sent somebody out to bring some food for us in the studio and those were the days. Even when they will say, ‘okay Jeffrey, we don’t need the singers today because orchestras were coming to lay down the strings’, but I will come anyway, because I was interested on how they did that and just watching them put down the strings and other stuffs helped me become a producer. So, I will advise up- and – coming artiste to strive to be better artistes because great artistes strive to build something that will last. Don’t do it for money, because somebody just moved over to Lekki, you say, oh, I

will have to get an apartment in Lekki, oh… someone just got this car, I have to get the same car. These are material things; look at me, I am not going to say how old I am, but you know I was here in 1982, during a tour with Shalamar. I’ m still relevant today because we did something relevant and remarkable, my main brand is built in it and it lasted; not just a flash in the pan, it hit the airwaves for a while and it has been there and it will continue to make impact.

Real reason Shalamar music group split – Jeffrey Daniels

You taught late Michael Jackson how to do the moon walk dance, how did you feel anytime he performed it on stage? The first time he did it publicly was at the Motown 25 anniversary and I was sitting in the audience then. Well, it’s funny because when Michael did that back slide before he changed it to moon walk, everybody jumped up screaming and I was really proud. The crowd never knew how he got to know about the dance, but people in my record company especially, my record company boss, Jody Watley and other people turned and looked at me like, ‘ wao..So, you thought Michael this, and I was really proud.

they don’t want to come right by us because I was in the group going on seven years; so after that long, if you don’t want to stand by me, what I am doing here? I am just going to be making you a millionaire and you think I will continue to be renting apartment for the rest of my life, that’s a lie.

But you didn’t teach your band members the same dance step Because they don’t dance the way I do. Jody Watle and especially Howard Hewett is a clown. We had the hardest time keeping him down on the choreography and he tried to get away from us (laughs). He is not cut out for dancing, but Jody is because she and I grew up dancing on Soul Train before Shalamar came up. But Jody doesn’t do that type of dancing I do like body popping; she is more of a simple and smooth dancer. Since Don Cornelius, the presenter of Soul Train died, we don’t seem to have a black entrepreneur interested in showcasing up- and –coming talents Well, one is standing in front of you. I have Steve O. I put his songs together. I have Joe Blue. I am still working and there are lots of other young Nigerians that I am working with that I feel have the quality to excel. How does it feel to be in

What Record company? Solar Records owned by Dick Griffey. It started from Soul Train through Dick Griffey and Don Cornelius but they split and so Griffey changed to Solar Records. Nigeria? It’s one of the most treasurable and pleasurable moments of my life; that I can come full circle, come and people look at me like a foreigner, an outsider and don’t forget we came from West Africa. We didn’t ask to go America; we were taken there on slave ships. I am making my family full circle by coming back here. I am going through the same things you guys go through; power cuts and other experiences and then things are starting to Y|[ }Y>Y [ |X` X[ |XY Y[ ] Y[ lots of thing that needs to be done and put right. I didn’t come here to make boat load of money and leave, I am here; and I will go through what other people are going through.

So you believe you are full blooded Nigerian I am working on it and I am going to get my Pidgin English worked out properly. You still interact with some members of your group Yes, we just did a show in December 21, 2012, at the O2 Indigo in London, but Jody is not with us, it was I, Howard

I said to myself, if

Is there any memorable experience on stage you can’t forget in a hurry? They were so many because I am a clown, I am crazy and I do so many crazy things on stage. There was a time I did the back slide down to the back stage. Somebody had moved the guitars and the monitors to the backstage and I hit my legs on one of them and I had to dance on one leg trying not to fall. I didn’t fall, but it was so obvious as the audience started laughing and I laughed too. Which of your songs do you have special attachment to? They are many. I will say the song; I Can Make You Feel Good because it brought

out old memories. Were their lead vocalist? No, Howard Hewett was primarily the lead vocalist, but sometimes I will do the lead because I am the founder, I put the group together and I brought Howard and Jody into the group because the group was primarily built around me by late Don Cornelius.

In most cases, Gina (Tonto Dike) would report the matter to a friend, yet, Raymond holds on to his seeming vices. Consequently, the beatings become unbearable for her and she runs out of the house with her daughter and heads to her friend’s place to seek refuge. Raymond also leaves for David’s place with the hope of seeing his family someday. Immediately he dashes out of the house, Gina also takes her leave when she notices her husband at the door.

sighting the trio aims at David but the bullet narrowly misses him and he is shot thereafter and dies instantly. His death was a shock to his wife as she weeps where the corpse is lying in

is not about dreaming in the real sense of the word but drives home the point that there is the need to nurture one’s dream. Raymond (played by Jim Iyke) was the hero in the movie and the main dream maker being referred to. The movie is an interesting one to watch albeit with a few hiccups here and there. Yet, there was great acting synergy from the cast.

Ahmadiyya holds convention

TAYO SALAMI

I

laro, a town in Ogun State became a Mecca of sorts last weekend as people from all walks of life converged at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at, Nigeria’s conference centre to participate in the 63rd annual conference – ‘Jalsa Salana.’ Series of lectures were delivered at the three days event on moral and spiritual concepts, which include: Role of Islam in politics, responsibilities of citizens in democracy and good governance, loving one another in a multi-religious society, among others. Speaking on the lecture titled, “Democracy, good governance and our responsibility,â€? Dr. AbdulLatif Busari, the Circuit President, Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Abuja, appealed to Nigerians not to neglect the 2015 general elections as it is another opportunity to have a hand in determining the future of the Z]|ƒ`Zq[  _]€ƒ[_ }„ƒ>Y [|X]|‰[ÂĽ|XY[|]_‹[`†[ YZ|X€`ZƒZ‡[Y8Yf|ƒ^Y[ Y„`f€]f{[]Z [‡`` [ governance in Nigeria is our burden, our responsibility and we shall only have it by striving for it – through all the legitimate means at our disposal.â€?

It is in our enlightened self-interest and indeed a religious duty we owe ourselves and ` Â€[‚`_|Y€ƒ|{[|`[† \~\\[` Â€[fƒ^ƒf[`}\ƒ‡]|ƒ`Z[ wisely. Allah, in Quran 4:59, commands us to ensure we only vote credible persons to occupy positions of authority in the coming election. “Nigerians should approach this election with a long-term outlook to ensure that through it, we lay a solid foundation for the enthronement of Godfearing leaders and functional democracy which will usher in a new era of good governance, predicated on social justice, equitable distribution of our common wealth and peaceful co-existence. Both leaders and followers must carry out their responsibilities with the fear of God.â€? While delivering his lecture on the theme of the annual conference, “Politics, social justice and global peace: The dilemma of religion,â€? Dr. Saheed Timehin, an Islamic scholar and a lecturer at the Lagos State University, urged Nigerians to engage in moral and mental pilgrimage in order to understand the enormity of the challenges posed by power politics and ƒ|_[ ]‚‚ Â€|YZ]ZfY_[ ]Z [ |XY[ Y8Yf|[ ƒ|[ X]_[ `Z[ global social order. Timehin noted that the proliferation of |Y€€`€ƒ_|[ ]>]f‹_[ ]_[ WY\\[ ]_[ |XY[ ƒZfƒ YZfY[ of violence as a result of bad governance and social injustice cut across the religious divide. Stressing further, he said: “The disconnection between religion’s avowed claim of being the solution to human problems and actual human actions and experiences thus put religion and its teachings in the dock. Religion on one hand promotes peace and harmony yet on the other hand, it’s invoked to justify war and the worst kind of human rights violations.â€? Timehin further explained that it is necessary to reiterate that Islam and all revealed religions had the same fundamental concepts which bind humanity in totality. Adding that, “If all human beings living on the surface of the earth realized that they are kith and kin; if we all believe that our Creator is Allah and we are equal in His sight; if political leaders, whatsoever

He further pointed that, “Islam and other religions are united in this but Islam takes a step further by insisting on the universal brotherhood of humanity and by condemning in totality all baseless ^]\ Y_[ ]Z [ ]>ƒ| Y_[ WXƒfX[ |€Y]|[ _`„Y[ people as inferior to others in any respect whatsoever.â€?

It is only the prayers of the pious that can save the nation and put in place God-fearing leaders that would put an end to our crisis.â€? Fashola, however, urged Nigerians not to relent on their fervent daily prayers. The Grand Khadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal, Kwara State, Alhaji AbdulFataah Saheed, noted that the country needs prayers. Adding that, “In other countries, \ĠY[ ƒ_[ Z`|[ ]_[ ƒCf \|[ ]_[ ƒ|[ ƒ_[ ƒZ[ ƒ‡Y€ƒ]q[ Y`‚\Y[]€Y[_ 8Y€ƒZ‡[][\`|[]Z [„`€Y[‚Y`‚\Y[ are dying every day because of the pains they are going through. He urged Nigerians to pray for peace and stability to reign in the country.â€? In his goodwill message, the Giwa Adeen of Osun State and the Alayegun of Ode Omu, Oba Lamidi Oke Oladowe I, appealed to Nigerians to allow peace to reign in the country. He noted that the conference must not forget to pray to Allah for peace to reign in the nation. Speaking at the closing ceremony of the convention, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, Professor AbdulGaniyu Ambali, urged religious groups to promote peace and social justice within and outside their community. He also enjoined Nigerians to be tolerant of one another. Ambali acknowledged the tremendous contributions of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to the social economic development of Nigeria and religious growth globally. The leader (Amir), appreciated the f`Z|€ƒ} |ƒ`Z_‰[ ~Z]Zfƒ]\[ ]Z [ „`€]\[ _ Â‚‚`€|[ for the success of the conference. He called on Nigerians to shun evil and ugly behaviours in the New Year. While rating this year’s annual conference with the others the Islamic organisation had held in the past, the National President (Sadr), Lajna Imaillah (Women Servants of Allah), Nigeria, an Ahmadiyya women organisation, Dr. Basirat Olajumoke Dikko, said : “This year’s ‘Jalsa Salana’ is 100 per

Even the preparation was superb and all the things that were not in place last year was put in place this year, so it is really fantastic.â€? Advising women on the oncoming 2015 general elections, Dikko said: “Women have to counsel their children so that they won’t be used as instruments of the devil during the upcoming general election.â€? As the head of the Ahmadiyya women, she urged women to put into practice all the things they have learnt at this year’s ‘jalsa salana.’ and inculcate all the lectures and sermons in their day-to-day activities. Mr. Raji Adegbemile, a delegate from the Republic of Benin, noted that a lot of improvements have been made in this year’s Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama’at’s ‘Jalsa Salana.’ “I have been coming here for years and this year I came with my family to compare the way the annual conference is done in Nigeria with the way it is observed in the Republic of Benin,â€? he said. Adegbemile noted that people are using Islam to reach their goals. Terrorism is everywhere in the world, it is high time Muslims stood their ground so as to wage war against terrorism. He, however, advised Ahmadiyya members and Nigerians in general to ensure that there is free and fair election in 2015. Mrs. Margaret Motunrayo Olorundiya, a Christian, who was invited to the event by one of the members of the Islamic `€‡]Zƒ_]|ƒ`Z[_]ƒ [|XY[€Y]_`Z[_XY[]>YZ Y [ the gathering is the love she has for Islam.

Tiger nuts: Rich source of fiber

Tayo Salami - 08052169951 (SMS only)

T

iger nut is a crop that has many health benefits .It is a rich source of fiber and can be consumed in any form - raw, roasted, dried, baked or as tiger nut milk, and there is no worry about constipation because it enhances proper digestion. Tiger nuts are not only good for consumption as food; they are also useful for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. In some countries, they are used in the treatment of flatulence, diarrhea, dysentery and indigestion. In Nigeria, it is popularly sold by the Hausas and it is called Aya by the northerners while the Igbos call it Aki , and the Yorubas tagged it imumu . According to experts, tiger nut milk is suitable for diabetics and also helps in weight control, due to its content of carbohydrates with a base of sucrose and starch (without glucose), and its high content of Arginine, which liberates the hormone that produces insulin. It is also recommended for those who suffer from indigestion, flatulence and diarrhea because it provides digestive enzymes like the catalase, lipase and amylase. The high content of oleic acid has positive effect on cholesterol, thereby preventing heart attacks, thrombosis and activates blood content of soluble glucose. Tiger nut reduces the risk of colon cancer. Tiger nut contains a good quantity of vitamin B1, which assists in balancing the central nervous system and helps to encourage the body to adapt to stress. The milk supplies the body with enough quantity of Vitamin E, essential for fertility in both men and women. Vitamin E also delays cell aging, improves elasticity of skin and helps to clear the appearance of wrinkles, acne and

other skin alterations. A nutritionist, working in one of the general hospitals in Nigeria, who claimed anonymity, said: “tiger nut contains a good quantity of vitamins such as vitamin B1 which assists in balancing the central nervous system and helps to encourage the body to adapt to stress. It supplies the body with enough quantity of Vitamin B; essential for fertility in both men and women. Furthermore, the oil content of the tuber is said to be good for human health, given the fact that tiger nut contains 18 per cent saturated (palmitic acid and stearic acid) and 82 per cent unsaturated (oleic acid and linoleic acid) fatty acids. Oleic acid, helps in reducing cholesterol and triglyceride and also prevents the hardening of the arteries.” The nutritionist further explained that, “tiger nut milk can be used to treat stomach pain , abnormal menstruation, mouth and gum

ulcers . Tiger nuts help in stress management by helping the body to stay balanced and also help to prevent fibrosis, as well as the blockage of the tip of the fallopian tube. “The black specie of the tiger nuts is an excellent medicine for breast lumps and cancer. The oil produced from tiger nut is also said to help slow down the ageing of the body cells, enhances the elasticity of the skin and reduces skin wrinkles.” Also, in a study carried out by Bamishaiye E. I and Bamishaiye O. M, a Research fellow, Chemistry Unit, Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute, Kano and a Lecturer, Dept. of Chemistry, Federal College of Agricultural Produce Technology, Kano respectively on “Tiger nut: As a plant, Its derivatives and benefits”, it was noted that Tiger nut can be eaten raw, dried, roasted, or grated and can be subjected to further

processing. It is used in cooking, it also serves as fuel, baking flour, fish baits; milk in lieu of cow’s milk are outlined. “It is a nourishing and energetic product recommended by experts to be taken during any season of the year, especially in dry season when the sun is hot. In Spain, it is called chufa de horchata. It is a rich source of nutrients such as vitamins C and E, and minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, and also carbohydrates, unsaturated fats, proteins and some enzymes which help in digestion. In fact this drink contains more iron, magnesium and carbohydrates than the cow’s milk. It has also the advantage of not containing lactose, casein, sugar or proteins of the milk, or cholesterol and is therefore an ideal drink for people who do not tolerate gluten or cow’s milk”, the researchers noted. To them, Tiger nuts contains a good quantity of vitamin B1 which assists in balancing the central nervous system and helps to encourage the body to adapt to stress. They also said that it supplies the body with enough quantity of Vitamin E, which is very essential for fertility in both men and women. It can be used as eye compress and to bandage wounds; It gives a heating and drying action to the digestive system in general and this gives it the potency to alleviate flatulence; it promotes the production of urine, this is why it is a preventive measure for cyst, prostrate among others. According to research, tiger nut is a daily diet in Spain and the tubers are consumed mainly as a drink locally called “horchata de chufa”. And because of the great health benefits Spanish derived from it, three University professors conducted a research on tiger nuts and discovered that it is nuts high in fiber ; rich in magnesium and helps to protect cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Firstly, number of scholars who condone the celebration of New Year are in absolute minority. Secondly, the scholars who condone it almost never actually celebrate New Year themselves or with their families – at least not in public – showing that even though they may believe it acceptable, it is not preferable. Thirdly, many of them predicate their views based on a number of caveats – that it is no longer a pagan or Christian ritual that it is good da’wah to non-Muslims and that it does not involve any un-Islamic element. Most of these caveats are ƒCf \|[Ġ[Z`|[ƒ„‚`__ƒ}\Y[|`[_]|ƒ_†{[ adequately. This is meant to be a gentle

We are encouraged to be warm and welcoming, not least because it Wƒ\\[ ]>€]f|[ `|XY€_[ |`[ ` €[ †]ƒ|Xq[ {[ the same token, it is against the spirit of Islam to do any of the above by subordinating our own faith, culture or heritage. There are many ways to showcase our manners and act as ambassadors for our faith without having to adopt the celebrations of others. By adopting the celebrations of others, we are not harmlessly saying a few words or just enjoying ourselves. We are opening the door to disappearing within the dominant culture and to a future in which our children may have Muslim names, but are otherwise indistinguishable from non-Muslims in their habits, customs and appearances.

So this year – as the clock strikes midnight thank Allah for the blessings of having our own calendar and the two Eids.
