The Inter-Party Advisory Council of Nigeria (IPAC), Anambra State chapter, which made the call in Awka yesterday, alleged that the House of Assembly primaries were marred with “fraud” and therefore “negates the principle of transparent election and insult to the collective intelligence of Ndi Anambra”.

Yemen’s Qaeda parades US hostage, threatens to kill him–SITE

A

l-Qaeda in Yemen has threatened to execute a US hostage who called for help in a video released by the jihadist group, SITE Intelligence reported Thursday. The purported hostage said he was 33 and kidnapped more than a year ago in Sanaa in the video dated December 2014. In the video, the hostage said he was looking for help and that his life was in danger. The photojournalist was kidnapped in the Yemeni capital in September 2013, the US-based monitoring agency said citing reports. The video features a message by Nasser bin Ali Al-Ansi, of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, threatening to kill him three days “after the issuance of this statement� if Washington failed to meet the group’s demands. “Otherwise, the American hostage held by us will meet his inevitable fate,� he said, without elaborating on the demands.

ne of the main student groups leading prodemocracy protests in Hong Kong said on Thursday it was considering ending more than two months of street demonstrations in the Chinese-controlled city. The Hong Kong Federation of Students will decide in the next week whether to call on protesters to pull up stakes despite having failed to achieve their goal of ensuring open nominations in the election for the city’s next leader in 2017.

“Some people wish to stay until the last minute and we respect that - but we cannot occupy without meaning,� federation spokeswoman Yvonne Leung told local radio. “We will decide within the next week whether to stay or retreat.� The federation is one of several groups driving the protests in the former British colony. Some members of another student group, Scholarism, have gone on hunger strike while leaders of the pro-democracy “Occupy Central� movement surrendered to po-

lice on Wednesday and called on students to retreat.

The divisions in the PF could open the door to an opposition party candidate winning the Jan. 20 election to succeed late president Michael Sata, an outcome that would create political uncertainty in one of Africa’s most promising frontier markets. High court judge Mungeni Mulenga said in a ruling made on Wednesday and seen by Reuters on Thursday that Lungu had been properly elect-

China is South Africa’s largest trading partner and the two are members of the BRICS association of major emerging economies, along with Brazil, Russia and India. Bilateral trade rose by 32 percent last year to 270 billion rand ($24 billion), heavily weighted in China’s favor. South

Africa imports manufactured goods from China, while the vast majority of its exports to China were raw materials. South Africa has also been a reliable diplomatic ally for China in Africa, controversially barring from the country this year Nobel Peace Prize winner the Dalai

The publication by the Montpellier Panel said the problem needed to be given a higher priority by aid donors. It added that soil degradation was also hampering economic development, costing the continent’s farmers billions of dollars in lost income. The study has been published ahead of the 2015 international year of soils. The Montpellier Panel - made up of agricultural, trade and ecology experts from Europe and Africa - warned that land degradation reduced soil fertility, leading to lower crop yields and increased greenhouse gas emissions. “In Africa, the impacts are substantial where 65% of arable land, 30% of grazing land and 20% of forests are already damaged,� it observed. Panel chairman Sir Prof Gordon Conway, from Imperial College London, told BBC News: “We spend a lot of time talking about crops and we spend a lot of time talking about livestock. We have big debates about all kinds of agriculture, yet we tend to ignore that it all depends on soils.� He added that recent measurements had shown that soil degradation levels across the continent were very high.

Polio eradication: Tackling fresh Kano threats

A

t a time the global community is making concerted MCZNP\OPZOMNR]WcRPMO deadly and paralytic polio virus worldwide, the fresh discovery of wild polio virus in Sumaila village in Kano recently is a sad reminder that governments at the three tiers are yet to articulate a comprehensive policy eNZXNRddMO]M\eWPMOhSRScWRYO assistance from international support agencies. Earlier, the virus was discovered in Gaya and Tarauni, according to Kano PRPMO ddaSW\RPWZSO 6cMN`O N^O QMNNWfO RQRVR`OTQZOW]MSPWhM]O challenges that ought to have been surmounted had there been a coordinated border states control of the migrating virus. Indeed, it is the migrating menace of the virus, which neither knows nor respects international borders, that has made the eradication a global concern, as free states become easily vulnerable via migration of persons across borders of nations. Therefore, lame is the excuse

of Kano state government that resistance to immunisation by parents and free movement of persons in villages as well as \M2YMdMSP\O\QRNWSXOLZN]MN\OTWPQO Kano constitute challenges. In addition, Yahaya said last week, _ QMNMORNMO\ZdMO\M2YMdMSP\`O especially Rogo and Ikara between Kano and Kaduna states, where they are having boundary issues. This does not enable us to know who is responsible for covering those areas�. However, he said the current challenge is being confronted with the intervention of traditional rulers and some other stakeholders who have compelled the resistant parents to make available their children for immunisation. Recently Federal Health authorities had endorsed a new global comprehensive strategy to eradicate polio from the face of the earth by 2018. The global focus on Nigeria is because of its large populations and massive dWXNRPWZS\OPZO]WCMNMSPOeRNP\OZfO the world, thereby posing great risks to nations with no polio virus.

Letters to the Editor INEC allow use of temporary voters card

T

he recent distribution of permanent voter’s card across the country had generated a lot of controversies amongst desperate Nigerians for the coming election. The eagerness of prospective voters to collect their voter cards shows how Nigerians have come to embrace the democratic tenet in this political dispensation. Many Nigerians are sceptical on the preparedness of INEC in conducting free and fair election, going by the problems that bedevilled the insurance of permanent voter’s cards. The large turnout of Nigerians to collect their permanent voter’s cards is an indication Nigerians should not be taken for a ride in forthcoming election. The Independence National

Electoral Commission INEC should ensure Nigeria who could not collect their permanent voter’s cards should be allowed to use their temporary cards to exercise their franchise of electing their next leaders. We saw how some Nigerians has demonstrated carrying placards to demand their permanent voter’s cards which would allow them vote in next year election. INEC should earn the cZSh]MScMOZfO WXMNWRS\OZSOPQMO conduct of next year’s election by not disenfranchising voters as the entire world is very interested. INEC should not give room for suspicious.

have over the years lamented that Nigeria is one of the last three countries in the entire world where the wild polio virus is still circulating freely, owing largely to the peddling of ignorance. The other countries are Pakistan and Afghanistan. With Nigeria remaining the major global sore thumb, government at all levels must work harder to overcome the QZNNWhcOcQRYYMSXM\OPQRPOdR[MO us a global pariah, a nation that cares less for the well-being of its citizens, whose elites peddle falsehoods to the gullible. The other day, the Sultan of Sokoto Sa’ad Abubakar had warned against the danger of misinformation by prominent northern politicians and scientists who claim the routine yearly anti-polio immunisation drive is hurtful. However, a comprehensive enlightenment campaign must be put in place to undo the damage done already. The failure of governments at the federal, state

and local government to embark on massive enlightenment campaigns to dispel negative campaigns in the past 12 years led to the brutal killing of nine health workers 8 February 2013 in Kano during the administration of oral polio immunisation vaccine to save children from preventable disabilities and death.

To some of the students, the Director-General of the school, Dr. Olarenwaju Onadeko-led management was out only to destroy their career by failing them en masse while calling for a review of the examination and results. Already, the Nigerian Bar Association has indicated its willingness to carry out an investigation into the outcome of the result. It is useful to also examine a few factors that could have been responsible for the dismal performance with a view to tackling them. To begin with, the development could be a reflection of the quality of graduates produced by our universities due to poor funding and non-adherence to extant admission and academic guidelines. Apart from this, enrolling students that are not passionate about the course could be another problem. In this part of the world, students are hoodwinked into studying some preferred courses by their parents because of the prestige and chances of employment - they believe is associated with them like medicine, pharmacy, accounting and engineering, among others. Another factor that could be attributed to the dismal performance is the addiction to the use of the social media. This technology has so much abused that people spend too much time chatting, texting, browsing and pinging when serious attention and decorum are required of them. This point was affirmed by the Chairman, Council fZNO MXRYO ]acRPWZSORS]OROfZNdMNO RPWZSRYO NM\W]MSPOZfO

the NBA, OCJ Okocha (SAN), who blamed the dismal performance to social media abuse by the law students. The use of such devices should be outlawed in the class. To turn things around, there is need for holistic review of legal training in the country. Both the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council for MXRYO ]acRPWZSO\QZaY]OdZSWPZNOaSWUMN\WPWM\OdZNMOcYZ\MYVO to ensure that they adhere strictly to stipulated academic standards.

Secondly, there is the need to review the admission. As obtainable developed countries, only graduates of other ]W\cWeYWSM\ORNMORYYZTM]OPZOMSNZYOfZNO ^ ^O QWYMOTMOdRVO not have a complete shift to that policy, we could settle for an arrangement such that certain number of admitted students should be mature candidates. There is also the need to get more experienced and practicing lawyers to teach students.

Therefore, the senate of universities offering law should relax the stringent condition of appointing academic staff such that brilliant lawyers can be allowed to teach various aspects of law programme. This could be on a part-time basis and local branches of NBA should assist in this regard with special emphasis placed on the sound teaching of substantive courses like the Nigerian legal system, constitutional law, legal methods and law of contract. This will ground the students well in the basic and foundational knowledge in law.

It is troubling that many students fail to abide by simple instruction of dressing properly using the dress code. Most times, they are sent out from the lecture and examination rooms for bad and indecent dressing! The law school should also review its curriculum to ensure that it is what operates in the 21st century that is imparted on the students. There should be a way to benchmark such standards with what is obtainable in developed jurisdictions are related to local peculiarities. And to the teachers, they should de-emphasise the common practice of merely dictating notes in the sense that there is a limit to what students can write and comprehend within the space of available time. By virtue of their unique training and job, lawyers are expected to have sound problem-solving skills that can be highly useful to providing good governance in diverse areas such as the promotion of accountability by helping citizens check the excesses leaders, establishment and sustenance of effective and viable institutions, processing of framework that engenders constitutional democracy. Therefore, serious attention should be accorded to the training of lawyers in the country.

Alison-Madueke and the OPEC presidency

O

ne thing the opposition politicians in Nigeria are not willing to concede is any positive mention for President Goodluck Jonathan and his government in the international media. Just because of the general election down the line early next year, the leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have thrown all objectivity and patriotism overboard. They seem to be under this morbid fear that if NM\W]MSPO ZSRPQRSORS]`OfZNOPQRPOdR2MN`OPQMO M]MNRYO Government are singled out for praises as a result of the achievements they have recorded, then their own chances of victory in the 2015 elections might just be dead on arrival. That was the reason APC and its leaders worked assiduously to change the narrative of the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) success by seeking to deny President Jonathan and the M]MNRYO ZUMNSdMSPOPQMOWSPMNSRPWZSRYORccZYR]M\O that poured in as a result of the unbelievable feat of defeating the virus in record time in our country. But like a bolt out of the blues, news broke on November 27 (last week) that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has elected the Nigerian Minister for Petroleum Resources, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke as its new president. She was elected at the 166th meeting of the OPEC Conference in Vienna, Austria, and will assume Z6cMOfNZdO RSaRNVOpmqrOPZO\accMM]O WLVRSO WcMO Prime Minister for Corporations, Abdourhman Atahar Al-Ahirish.

Alison-Madueke hinted that much after her election when she stated that: “the strategy the M]MNRYO ZUMNSdMSPOZfO WXMNWROWSPMS]\OPZO]MeYZVO PZOca\QWZSOPQMOMCMcP\OZfOPQMOfRYYOW\OPZO]MUMYZeOPQMO country’s gas infrastructure for domestic use.� The emergence of Alison-Madueke as the head

barracking and antagonising her at home. Recall that Alison-Madueke has been facing tough times at home from the opposition elements who have become very uncomfortable with the bold reforms she is pursuing in the petroleum industry, which are aimed at ensuring that the XNMRPMNOSadLMNOZfOZaNOeMZeYMOLMSMhPOfNZdOPQMO exploitation of the oil deposits in our land.

It is not only an irony but also a soul-searching thing for us as a people that the international community, as represented by the member nations of OPEC, is recognising the nation’s petroleum minister by giving her higher responsibilities at a time that some of our politicians, goaded on by the opposition, are

allegations just to intimidate and get her to back down from seeing those laudable reforms to their logical conclusion. Alison-Madueke’s Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) that has been gathering dusts at the National Assembly is perhaps the easy casualty of her frosty relationship with the legislature, especially from the opposition elements, especially the APC, who have been vehemently opposed to her revolutionary changes in the oil sector. Moreover, the newly-elected OPEC president ranks, arguably,

as the most impactful and visionary petroleum minister in the country. Apart from the ambitious PIB, Alison-Madueke, more than any of her predecessors, has been strong-willed in promoting local content in the industry and thereby growing local capital and the economy. She has also more than any previous minister pursued the policy ZfOMNR]WcRPWSXOXR\OoRNWSXOTWPQOPQMO\MNWZa\SM\\OZfO eaNeZ\MOPQRPOPQMOdR2MNO]M\MNUM\OWSOPQMOWSPMNM\POZfO the Nigerian economy.

Okorodudu relishes boxing award

Francis Ajuonuma

F

ormer Nigerian and Commonwealth boxing champion, Jeremiah Okorodudu says he cannot stop celebrating the recent award presented him by Dstv Africa. Okorodudu, who won a lot of laurels for Nigeria as an amateur boxer, was given an award of recognition by the South Africa-based Satellite TV outlet for his contribution to the growth of boxing in Nigerian and internationally at the GOtv

Boxing Night held on October 23 inside the indoor hall of the National Stadium, Lagos. Others who were given award of recognition include Hogan Jimoh, Ray Amoo, Dele Johathan, Obisia Nwankpa and Joe Lasisi. An elated Okorodudu in his reaction to his recognition told Newswatch Times Sports that by the award he feels very well appreciated in the society after many years of neglect and cannot stop celebrating it with his children. “I was happy, very happy. That means I’ve not LMMSOfZNXZ2MS^ “I must thank the organisers for recognising me. I show it to my children almost every day and they’re happy. I like what they did and it’ll live with me for many years to come,” he said.

MO R]dW2M]O PQRPO PQMO gesture by DStv will go a long way to motivating the upcoming boxers to do well. “It’s great step by DStv and I want to believe that it’ll encourage the oncoming boxers a lot and I pray they will continue with it,” he added.

Essien still pained by Ebola hoax

G

hana star, Michael Essien has insisted there was no truth in the rumours that he had Ebola and the crazy reports were based on a Social Media hoax. The AC Milan midhMY]MN`O TQZO PaNS\O lp`O was shocked to hear that he allegedly got infected with the deadly virus and explained his side of the story. “It was a Sunday. I trained as usual that morning and went home in the afternoon to relax and chill out,” he told The Guardian. “Then I got a call from our club doctor who told me there was news out that I had Ebola. I said: ‘how can I have Ebola? You saw me this morning at training so what do you mean I have Ebola?’ “Within minutes, my media team had sent me TW2MNO dM\\RXM\O ZfO PQMO hoax and websites on which it was trending. We joked about it and put it to bed. But within 45 to 60 minutes, it was all over PQMOSMT\ORS]O OTR\OXM2WSXO messages from friends, family and ordinary people asking how I was. _ OTR\OMUMSOXM2WSXOXMPO well soon messages and that’s when it dawned on me that I had to do somePQWSXO PZO \PZeO WPO XM2WSXO out of hand. So, together

with Milan and our media team we released a statement clearly stating it was a hoax and there was no truth in the rumour that I had Ebola. “My family was worried about me in London and Ghana to the extent that my mum rang me to double check that I was hSMO PQMO SMnPO ]RV^O O ]ZSjPO enjoy my mum being stressed so that part was not a good experience and it wasn’t fair on the true \aCMNMN\OZfO LZYRORS]OPQMWNO families. It’s not a joke and people need to understand that.” Essien has since become an ambassador for #UnitedAgstEbola, a campaign which raises awareness and funds to educate people about the deadly disease.

Be patient with coaches, Ifejiagwa charges NFF Ephraim Nwosu

E

x-Nigerian international, Emeka Ifejiagwa has admonished Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) to be patient with its coaches so they could deliver on promises and expectations. Emeka was reacting to the mounting calls that out-of-contract Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi LMO \RcNWhcM]O LMcRa\MO ZfO Nigeria’s ouster from next year’s Africa Nations Cup. The former Charlton Athletic and VFL Wolsburg defender told Newswatch Sports exclusively that Keshi was not to blame for Nigeria’s inability to defend her AFCON trophy next year. He said given the unhealthy atmosphere under which Keshi worked almost all through his three-year reign, the coach performed creditably and ZSYVO SMM]M]O RO YW2YMO eRtience and more tolerable conditions to deliver bigger. Ifejiagwa, who is currently a players’ agent said it was due to NFF impatience that Coach Samson Siasia was booted out of the Super Eagles at

a time that he was painstakingly building a formidable team for the nation. “We are too impatient with our coaches and in most cases, we don’t realize their value until they have been booted out. “Are we not back with Siasia again as the national U-23 team’s coach? Is this not the same Siasia that we said was not good enough

to stay on after Nigeria failed to qualify for 2012 Africa Nations Cup? “Several factors contributed to Nigeria’s failure to reach 2015 AFCON in Equatorial Guinea and the major factor was NFF, not Keshi. There was so much turmoil in the Football House, which distracted the coach and his players from the task at

hand. So why single him out for blame? “Keshi deserves not just a new contract, but a LM2MNO TZN[WSXO cZS]WPWZSO to enable him perform to our expectation. Let’s give him a chance and encouragement to wipe away the disappointment of not qualifying for next year’s Nations Cup,” he posited.

Reorganise our league, Fatusi tells NFF, LMC Maduabuchi Kalu

F

ollowing Super Eagles lacklustre performances in recent times that culminated in their inability to qualify for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea, former international, Teslim Fatusi, has called for the re-organisation of the domestic league. QMOfZNdMNOoVWSXO RXYM\O winger believes that the success of the national teams of any country depends on its domestic league, insisting that as long as the national teams are dependent on foreign based players to prosecute matches, the team will continue to falter “It is sad that Eagles are no more playing the way we used to know them. “As far as I am concern, we missed it the moment

we started relying on foreign based players for the recruitment of players into the national teams. “My position is that we should focus our recruitment of national team players on the local league and we cannot do that without reorganising the league to

enable it, produce the type ZfO eYRVMN\O PQRPO cRSO hPO WSPZO the national teams. “The league should be able to feed the national teams. That is why the reorganisation of the league should be our number priority if we must come out the situation we found our-

selves. “Meanwhile, by advocating for the reorganisation of the league to enable it produce the type of players that TWYYO LMO RLYMO PZO hPO WSPZO PQMO national team set up, it does not mean that our foreign based players are not good. All I am just saying is that we should look inward for the supply of players to the national teams. “We must go back to the glory days of 1980s when more than 80 per cent of the national team players were drawn from the local league. “Even without being told, during the AFCON aRYWhMN\`OdZNMOPQRSOzmOeMNO cent of players of other countries that we played against ply their trade at home and we saw how they made life ]W6caYPOfZNOa\^O OLMYWMUMOPQRPO if we had taken time to train our home based players for PQMOxaRYWhMN\`OTMOdRVOQRUMO ]ZSMO LM2MNO PQRSO TMO ]W]O with predominately foreign based players,” Fatusi said.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2014

F

ormer Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman believes Arsene Wenger is the best thing to happen to the club following fan unrest, but insisted that results do need to improve. An anti-Wenger banner that read ‘Arsene thanks for the memories but it’s time to say goodbye’ was unfurled among the Arsenal supporters during the 1-0 win over West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday, a response to the club being ZCOPQMOeRcMOWSOPQMO NMdWMNO League title race.

R

The Brazil international moved to Catalonia from Paris St Germain in 2003 and went on to capture numerous club and individual honours, including the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or. However, things could have turned out very differently had he opted for United over Barca – something which was very close to becoming a reality. “Everything was beautiful and happened fast,” the playmaker told Spanish publication El Enganche. “A great friend of mine was about to become a part of the Barcelona board: Sandro Rosell. _ MfZNMO PQMO ZCMN\O came, he had asked me if I would play in Barcelona when they won the election and became the presidents, and I had said ‘yes’. “I was almost on my way to Manchester United and only the details needed to be put onto that deal. “But in the last minute Rosell called me to tell me

they would win the election. That made everything happen so fast. “I wanted to play in Barcelona. When I signed, I didn’t feel pressure, I felt joy.

City are the defending champions but Chelsea, who are the only unbeaten team in the division, have established a six-point lead at the top of the table, though Nasri hopes they can close that before they meet again. Jose Mourinho’s team drew 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium in September and Manuel Pellegrini’s team visit Stamford Bridge on Jan. 31 for the rematch, which Nasri

feels could be crucial. He told reporters: “By New Year’s Day we want to be closer to Chelsea -- the game at Stamford Bridge in

The story was further fueled by the lyrics of

“Mikel and I are good friends,� he said in an interview with Newswatch Sports. “I don’t have any problem with him and it’s not true that he shunned me in London. Mikel is a nice guy and a great footballer I admire and respect a lot.

“What I think that happened was that there was a match involving Nigeria and another country, I cannot remember its name but he was unable to honour that match, so when my album was coincidentally released within that period, people started insinuating that I was criticizing Mikel for not coming for that particular game. “The only time I met Mikel, I was in the company of P-Square.

It’s just time,once I get enough time, you will see more great players,” he said. He remains optimistic that the Falcons will make history at Mundial in Canada. “We’ve set a target

the way the league body dealt with the league this year. Honestly it’s a failure. If you look at it; Adamawa Queens could not conclude their matches and then the league was delayed for three months. So there were so many league lapses that affected the smooth running of the league this year. “In the coming season,I think it’s very, very important for us to keep to date and I suggest we have a league body like the LMC to run the league as is done with the Nigeria Premier League; and then to have sponsors because the way the league is played has been very, very inconsistent,” he said.

ADR: Revenue drop for lawyers while settling disputes

Atilade Ayodele Olalere

I

n 1999, Lagos State Ministry of Justice established The Citizens Mediation Centre (CMC) to serve as Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) scheme with the aim of providing quick access to justice and its institutions. It was also expected that it would decongest courts. Carved out of the Directorate for Citizens Rights (DCR) was expected to provide mediation on disputes NMYRPWSXOPZOYRS]YZN]ORS]OPMSRSPOdR2MN\`O employer and employee disputes, fRdWYVO dR2MN\O tWScYa]WSXO dRNWPRYO disputes, child custody, etc.), workmen cZdeMS\RPWZSO dR2MN\`O eNZeMNPVO WSQMNWPRScMORS]OYRS]OdR2MN\`OdZSMPRNVO claims, commercial disputes, and other civil related disputes. At ADR, disputes are resolved quickly between parties who, on invitation, voluntarily present themselves for mediation at the Centre.

In most cases where ADR is used, parties are referred, by court to ADR, must and based on some conditions and agreement which are outlined by the court; agreements reached at ADR are binding on parties.

As soon as the scheme was resuscitated by the state government, lawyers promised to make use of the provision by referring their clients to the Centre for dispute resolution. According to the Chairman, Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja branch, Mr. Monday Ubani, had promised that his colleagues would abide by the new rule. “There are fears, especially by litigation lawyers about the issue of compulsoriness of the ADR. Many lawyers are a bit scared of its operations and modalities. People always want to resist anything that is new. But if it is done in such a manner that it gives absolute fairness and the consequences are favourable and leads to early dispensation of justice, the lawyers will embrace it. It is a rule all lawyers must RLW]MO TWPQO \WScMO WPO QR\O cZdMO PZO MCMcP^O The other alternative is for them to challenge it in court,� he said. However, in spite of such high hopes, all seems not to be well with ADR as lawyers seems to be shunning it. Findings revealed that many lawyers QRUMO NMRYW\M]O PQMO SMXRPWUMO MCMcP\O WPO W\O having on their revenue and as such have decided to abandon the scheme,

preferring long trials at court rather than seeking quick resolution to cases. Barrister Valentino Buoro, the National Co-ordinator of the United Kingdom based Standing Conference of Mediation Advocates told our reporter that the scheme is not working as lawyers lacked the knowledge of its ZeMNRPWZSO RS]O R\O \acQO QRUMO LZVcZ2M]O it. “All over the world, there is a strong move towards quick and amicable dispute resolution of disagreements between business partners.

use it. The sad aspect of it is that even lawyers who are supposed to be taking clients to the place are also not using it because they also do not understand the way it works. What they do not realise is that it is a way of training lawyers if they are making use of it. Buoro further said another thing that is working against the success of the scheme is that it reduces income of lawyers. _ QMO dRiZNO PQWSXO W\O PQMO R2WPa]MO ZfO lawyers. Lawyers need to be persuaded to make use of it. Take for instance; when a person has a case, what he does W\OPZOXZOPZOROYRTVMNORS]OPQMOYRTVMNOhYMO the court papers. But ADR is saying VZaO]ZSjPOSMM]OPZOXZOPZOcZaNP`OYMPj\O\M2YMO it amicably between parties. As a result, it has created a kind of alternative to going through long trials at court.

However, many lawyers do not realize that they can still make money taking clients to ADR. This is because every dispute has a kind of law relating to it and when a client to visit a lawyer and inquire about the process, a lawyer can charge professional fee for educating the client on the process. You don’t make money only by representing a client in court; you can make money from giving information. “The good thing about it is that at `OeRNPWM\O\WXSOcZSh]MSPWRYWPVOeReMN\O which mean whatever is decided at the place is between the parties not third parties.

Before the fateful day, Ibeh had reportedly complained that every Sunday, his house was robbed, which caused serious arguments among his family members. Thus he decided to trace the guilty party.

The defence stated that there had been circumstances in the proceedings that suggest a likelihood of bias by the judge. He stated that the judge has failed to subpoena certain functionaries of the state, and that her lordship compelled the second accused (Anjide Timothy) to appear before the court in spite of his critical health condition. He argued that the second Rcca\M]OQR\OYZ\POcZSh]MScMOZfOXM2WSXOROfRWNO trial before her lordship.

The prosecuting counsel, Kemi Pinheiro, `O aNXM]O PQMO cZaNPO PZO ]W\dW\\O PQMO application.

Pinheiro further stated that for a case of bias against a judge to be established, there must be concrete evidence in support of the charge. “It is not enough to say there is a suspicion of bias, rather suspicion must be reasonable and looked from objective stand.� The prosecution further said that the defence does not need a subpoena when WPO cRSO ReeYVO fZNO cMNPWhM]O PNaMO cZeWM\O ZfO document. According to Pinheiro, the cry of the applicant that the subpoena applied for has been consistently turned down by the court is premature and misconceived because the prosecution is yet to close its case neither is it time for the accused persons to open their case. In dismissing the application, Justice Okeke stated that the application for transfer of the case lacks merit. The case was adjourned to January 19, 20 RS]OpqOpmqrOfZNOcZSPWSaRPWZSOZfOPNWRY^

It would be recalled that the operatives of Ghana police apprehend the convict, Kelvin after which they have been on his trail over time for impersonating Ghanian actor on face book, defrauding his fans.

According to Majid, the lady even said that he (Majid) informed her of his mother’s death and requested for RSO RdZaSPO ZfO kr`mmm`O RSO RdZaSPO \QMO was willing to send. Majid said he protested his innocence but the lady was insistent and argued that it was him (Majid) who had engaged her over a period of time on social media, collected previous monies and recently NMxaM\PM]OfZNOkr`mmmOfZNOPQMOfaSMNRY^ At this stage, Majid explained to the lady that she was not the only victim of scams where people use his name and profile to defraud unsuspecting people. The actor explained to the lady that another lady in Canada was scammed out of a staggering amount close to $30,000. Majid, however, together with Ikay, decided to work together to trace and find the person behind the scam. They called his brother in Ghana, Mawuli and the lady forwarded the details of the culprit and involved Ghana Police in investigating the case. According to the actor, Kelvin initially wanted the money transferred through Western Union and to his real name (Kelvin Ogodogu) and when questioned on why the money wasn’t being transferred to the name Majid Michel, he claimed that the name, Kelvin Ogodogu, was the name of his movie director. With advice from the Police, Kelvin was asked to go take the money from a friend of Ikay, but in a smart move, he sent a friend to collect the money for him. The friend was arrested and led the Police to apprehend the real culprit, Kelvin.

xcitement greeted stakeholders of creative industry last Friday, November 28, 2014, when they converged at a star-studded event ZNXRSW\M]O LVO PQMO Z6cMO ZfO PQMO President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan, GCFR, BNER, GCON, and spearheaded by the Special Adviser to the President on Research and Documentation, Oronto Douglas, to celebrate them. Tagged: ‘Creativity Moving Nigeria,’ the event which took place at the Convention Centre, Eko Hotels, Victoria Island, Lagos [Wc[M]OZCORNZaS]OÌOedOTWPQOeNMsMUMSPOcZc[PRWYO and arts viewing at the Nigeria Century Exhibition. From there, guests were ushered into a cosy atmosphere inside the hall. Before the guests took their seats, the disc jockey was busy dishing out old school music by foreign artistes before he returned home and doled out entertaining and educative ones from Nigerian artistes including Sound Sultan’s Story, Story, 2Face Idibia’s and others. Then came King Sunny Ade on stage, who charged the hall with his welcome performance with an evergreen song of unity ‘Nigeria Yi ti Gbogbo Wa Ni ‘, backed up by some singers and actors including Segun Arinze, Sani Danja, Ben Ogbeiwi, Kate Henshaw, Rita Dominic, Chinedu Ikedieze (Aki) and Osita Iheme (Aki). This was followed by the National Anthem rendered by All-Stars band in unique way around 7.30 pm. With great expectation, a lot of guests were eager to see Mr. President, who was already in Lagos, but cancelled gracing the event on hearing the news of a twin bomb that exploded at Kano Central Mosque, killing hundreds of people. So, the Honourable of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, High Chief Edem Duke, mounted the podium, and informed the guests why Mr. President could not make it. Below are bits of what happened at the creative industry night: 12314567385795;<=<>7525?5<3@7AC7A147<D3=A<7 E =>87 8=5C7 95?7 1F5 In a calm and quiet mood, the Honourable Minister of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, High Chief Edem Duke, welcomed guests and thanked the All-Stars Band for singing the Nation Anthem. He then made an announcement that sent painful sensation to people’s spines, saying: “Your Excellencies, fellow Nigerians, tonight, PQMO eMRcMO ZfO PQMO SRPWZSO QR\O LMMSO \QR2MNM]^O Tonight, the bloods of our compatriots are oZTWSX^O SYVOROfMTOQZaN\ORXZ`OPQRPOVZaORS]O I and indeed the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria began to make our ways to this venue, heard the unfortunate incident WSO RSZO PQRPO \QR2MNM]O PQMO eMRcMO ZfO ZaNO ]MRNO nation. _ QMNMfZNM`OR\OTMO\WPOQMNMOWSO\ZdLNMONMoMcPWZSO of the recent activities of the last few hours, we ask you with due respect, please join me on behalf of the President, to observe a-minute of silence for those lives that have been lost. “Fellow Nigerians, as we commemorate 100 years of our nation, as we look at the achievements from the years of our fore bearers until today, as we commemorate this evening to the legacy and the achievements of our creative industry, our heads are bowed, our eyes are bloodied for the spirit of this nation, the determination of all Nigerians is that this nation is more important than any other, than any single individual or group,” Duke explained.

President Jonathan He emphasised that: the spirit that has wielded us together over a hundred years will continue to see us through. “That is our commitment!” The Minister also expressed sincere apology from Mr. President whom he said was already in the building as he has always done in the recent past to pay compliment to the sweat of

Nigeria’s creative community. “But he sent me to say to you that he may join us in the course of this evening because, for him as a leader of the biggest black nation on the face of the earth, the challenge of today, the challenge of insecurity, the challenge of insurgency is one that breaks his heart and he sees the futility of trying to ]WUW]MOPQW\OcZaSPNV^O MO\WP\OPZSWXQPONMoMcPWSXO

on the event of the last few hours. With your courage, with your determination, with the resolute desire of our country men, our fore fathers and founding fathers of this nation would not have worked in vain. That as we begin to move into the next century, that our being the larger part of this country, our spirit will prevail against wickedness in places that are strange in Nigeria because truly, people went in Kano today to pray in supplication to God to bring peace to this nation, but so many of them never returned home.

So tonight, we pay respect to you because truly, you have taken the collateral of our culture; you have moulded it into mysterious story, epic story and stories of love. You have hearts and minds for Nigeria.

And the rhythm is very compelling. “It was with pride that I spent a quarter of a day earlier in the year to see the works of Ben Enwonwu and the rest of them adorning no other place than Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom. “Only in the month of August, when the President hosted a Nigerian Cultural Night at the John F.

But then, the architectural theme of that is taken from two arts pieces that were taken from Owo in Ondo State in 1930. So, Nigerian creative community has moved Nigeria beyond the boundaries of our nation and beyond the boundaries of Africa.� He noted that: “Not too long ago, Mr. President had the opportunity of a visit from the world renowned designer, Roberto Cavalli, who came to celebrate and appreciate our fashion designers and expressed his determination and that of his fashion empire to work with our designers and to grow new talents.

She thanked everyone in the creative industry “for the fantastic night you have given us this evening� and noted that the creative industry has enriched people’s lives and has continued to enrich people’s lives within and outside Nigeria. “We want to appreciate the power of the creative industry which comes about 1.4 per cent of the country’s total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and that comes about N1.2 trillion that this industry is contributing to this country. The creative industry is contributing more than 200,000 jobs directly and one million jobs indirectly.

As a result of this, the creative industry has created 5,456 jobs for youths and for themselves.

Private Storm tells the story of rage and jealousy and abuse in relationships. In the opening scene, an invalid, Alex(Ramsey Noah) struggles to get into his wheelchair. He begins to soliloquise about his present condition. In a flashback mode,another scene shows Alex with his fiancee, Gina (Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde). The couple seem to be in a happy mood as the former heads off to play tennis. Gina takes the ay off and holds on production in her office. Her boss, Richie (Frankincense Eche-Ben) orders her in. A temperamental Alex storms the office and an argument ensues. Consequently, he forces Gina to resign against her own wish. After wards, he shows off his Queen to his friends, telling them about her transition from a career woman to a boutique owner!. Gina is so frustrated. In another part of the country, Jason Jibunoh(John Dumelo), a publisher and budding writer searches for the big story to publish. He heads home to his nagging fiancee,Lisa(Ufoma Ejenebor) and they pick up a fight. As expected, his woman feels threatened due to a third party(Another woman). The scene moves back to Alex who accuses Gina of flirting with other men at a party. In a furious rage, he drops her in the middle of no where!. A visibly shaken Gina begins to fret. Minutes later, he comes back and takes her home. Alex apologises for his irrational behaviour and promise to keep his temper in check. Thus, the relationship goes on. The morning after, Jason wakes up to find out that no thanks to Lisa, he has no clothes to wear to his meeting!. Worse still,no water to have his bath. Sadly, he shows up at work in a pair of slacks, tee-shirt and a thong which he mistakes for a handkerchief!. Gina begins to work at her boutique and a childhood friend, Tony Gomez(Blossom Chukwujekwu) pays her a visit. They begin to catch up on old times when suddenly, Alex shows up;jealous and angry for no reason. Gina seems fed up while Alex drives off causing an accident. She ends up in the hospital with minor bruises(Thankfully). The apologies seem to have become a routine now and for Gina, it’s time to end this raging storm in her life. Uju(played by Christian Ajisaje),Gina’s friend wonders how her friend got hurt. Apparently, Gina lied that she was hit while cross-

Movie REVIEW

FRIDAY December 5, 2014

A Private Storm

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde

Starring: Ramsey Noah, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, John Dumelo. Ufoma Ejenobor, Ngozi Ezeonu. Produced by: Vivian Ejike Reviewer: Bukola Bakare ing the highway!. Still, she returns home to Alex. Viewers would become angry at this point. Meanwhile, Uju thinks that her friend is lucky to

have a man like Alex!(What an irony. If only she knew). As events unfold, Gina prepares for Uju’s party. Simultaneously, Jason’s

mother(Ngozi Ezeonu) longs to have her family back again. She pines for her estranged son and so does Jason’s sister,Katie (Tessy Oragwa). Waiting up for Alex till 1am,Gina leaves for Uju’s party without him!(Trouble looms). Alex returns home

shortly to an empty house, angry of course. Consequently, he locks Gina up in the bathroom. Clearly, she is tired and calls him a coward. In order to spite her, Alex brings in a hooker into their home and she bursts into tears. Jason heads off to Lagos to see Alex(Viewers realise that they are estranged brothers) but the latter refuses to see him due to family squabbles. Uju advises Gina to work things out with Alex who she considers a big fish. At this juncture, she reveals him as the jealous, raging lover. Uju is totally dis-appointed. Gina packs her stuff, drops her engagement ring and moves in with Uju. Alex returns to an empty home, visibly distraught at this development. Viewers wonder what will happen next. Will he go and search for Gina, will the couple make up,more importantly, will Alex settle his squabbles with his family?. Find out in the sequel to this movie. A Private Storm is quite an interesting movie as there was great acting synergy from Nollywood regulars; Ramsey Noah,Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde,Ngozi Ezeonu and neighbouring Ghana’s John Dumelo. Other acts didn’t dis-appoint, especially Christian Ajisaje who played the part of Uju. Her diction was superb as she delivered her lines well. Thumbs up for script writer and producer, Vivian Ejike.

Dissection of Obasanjo’s prognosis

W

hen I received the invitation of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to participate in the “Strategic Stakeholders’ Dialogue on Peaceful Elections in 2015� that held on Tuesday and Wednesday (December 3 and 4) this week at the NICON Luxury, Abuja, YW2YMO]W]O O[SZTOPQRPOPQMOWSUWPRPWZSOTZaY]OPaNSO out to be a double blessing. The UNDP and its partners, the Democratic Governance for Development Project (PGD), PQMO S\PWPaPMO ZfO MRcMO RS]O ZSoWcPO M\ZYaPWZSO t uO RS]O PQMO NRS\WPWZSO ZSWPZNWSXO NZaeO t uO]M\MNUMOROeRPOZSOPQMOLRc[OfZNO]ZWSXOPQMO needful on creating awareness and developing capacity for violence-free elections in the 2015 elections. When the counting is done, their contributions would count as part of the stones cast in the right direction. Apart from the profundity of the presentations dR]MORS]OPQMOWSPNZ\eMcPWZSOPQMOfZNadOZCMNM]O to a wide spectrum of Nigerians, it provided an opportunity for me to lay my hands, courtesy of a participant, on a widely reported speech. The speech was delivered by former President Olusegun Obasanjo at the book launch of the venerable “man of integrity, honesty, humility and correctness in all sense of those words�, as LR\RSiZOeaPOWP`O ZSZaNRLYMO a\PWcMO a\PReQRO Akanbi (rtd.) last Tuesday. Though the reportage of the former President’s address had been weaved around his criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan and the National Assembly by the media, the \aLiMcPOdR2MNOZfOPQMOPQZaXQP\ORS]OPQMO\eMR[MNj\O pan-Nigerian fervour were sadly buried in the heap of sensationalism. His speech has a magnetic pull and this unputdownable aura that are typically infectious. As a strategic stakeholder in the Nigerian project, Chief Obasanjo centred his address on four burning issues in Nigeria: security, corruption, youth unemployment and the economy. His understanding of these issues is deep and his insights are thought-provoking. There is no doubt that a dispassionate focus on the four critical issues would lead Nigeria out of her sorry situation. Apart from providing gripping national statistics that shows the backwardness of the North East at the levels of education, infant mortality, maternal mortality and poverty, hence a context for implosion, his handling

of the four subjects reveals his versatility. On security, for example, he refers to those who see Boko Haram insurgency from the religious prisms as “the enemies of this countryâ€?. According to him, “Boko Haram is a menace and a dangerous one at that, but why must it be emphasized as an Islamic jihadist? Both words are unhelpful in the context of our own situation which requires bi-partisan and collective national understanding of the issues at stake and action to be taken‌A menace is a menace, a thief is a thief, a terrorist is a terrorist; not a Christian thief or an Islamic thief.â€?

He also unpretentiously stated what the state of the economy is: in the doldrums. The address is a food for thought, a forthright prognosis of the disaster ahead if the current situation is not addressed seriously.
