Senator tasks APC lawmakers on unity
T
he Senator representing Lagos East Senatorial District, Gbenga Ashafa, has urged his colleagues elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to close ranks and settle down to work for the sake of the country. Ashafa said this recently in reaction to the senate inauguration fallout, and how WX D4YZX[ X\Y ]Y^W[]DXW_Y E`jq He pleaded that members of the Unity Forum, the Like Minds and other such caucuses in the 8th senate should collapse their structures and form a united, progressive front that will work with the new leadership of the red chamber for the overall interest of Nigerians. He made the call on the heels of the fallout which trailed the stormy inauguration of the Senate on June 9, where Senator Bukola Saraki emerged President, against Senator Ahmed Lawan, the candidate anointed by the
APC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to realise that the hopes of Nigerians are high. The new government has amassed a lot of political capital - having been elected as a result of the massive build-up of goodwill for our various candidates in the elections and the stark disenchantment with the previous administration. As a result, the goodwill of Nigerians must not be taken for granted. So I make this call for one Nigeria, and it starts with us - One Senate, united for the progress of our various constituents and translating change into policies and laws that will, in turn, yield XDÂ&#x2020;^WE]Y DÂ&#x2020;j EYÂ&#x2020;YÂ&#x2021;ZWD] Â&#x2C6;Y[Â&#x2030;]X[ for everyone,â&#x20AC;? he said. Senator Ashafa urged all party members with various leanings to push aside their personal ambitions for now, noting that â&#x20AC;&#x153;whilst the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision is binding on us all, we must see the bigger picture which is a progressive and united Nigeria.â&#x20AC;?

North East Child malnutrition prevalent in three northern states â&#x20AC;&#x201C; CS-SUNN Nnah Douglas, Abuja
T
he growing rate of malnutrition, particularly amongst children in the country, has motivated a study by a non-governmental body, Civil Society Scaling-Up Nutrition in Nigeria (CS-SUNN), and disclosed that malnutrition is prevalent in three northern states, namely Kaduna, Nasarawa and Niger. The report, which was carried out through research reveals that trends in nutritional status of children declined from 42% in 2003 to 37% in 2013 while wasting and underweight increased from 11 to 18 and 24 to 29% respectively within
the same period. The Programme Manager for CS-SUNN, Okoronkwo Sunday, in an interview with journalists in Abuja said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The study was meant to do an in-depth review towards bringing out the real status of malnutrition at the national level with case studies of the three aforementioned states and consult a rapid data collection to access the real situation in the areas.â&#x20AC;? He said stunting, which is a key indicator for nutrition status amongst children between the age limit 0 to 5 years was still at 37% which is on the high side. Quoting the survey by the National Demographic and Surveys, NDHS,
he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;According to NDHS, from 2003 used to be 41% in 2008, but as at 2013 it dropped to 37%.â&#x20AC;? Breaking it down, the organisation said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prevalence of Global acute Malnutrition (GAM) among children 0-59 months of age is 8.7% nationally, but 4.1%, 9.8% and 17.7% for the three states under review.â&#x20AC;? In the same vein, the study said that Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) in the three affected states show that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;there is high level of miZÂ&#x2C6;`Â&#x2020;Â&#x2030;XÂ&#x2C6;WYÂ&#x2020;X jYÂ&#x2021;ZWYÂ&#x2020;Zq WÂ&#x2020; Z\W]jÂ&#x2C6;YÂ&#x2020; Â&#x2030;Â&#x2020;jYÂ&#x2C6; Â&#x2021;_Y qYDÂ&#x2C6;[ of age in Nigeria with 9WXDÂ&#x201C;WÂ&#x2020; $ jYÂ&#x2021;ZWYÂ&#x2020;Zq `Â&#x201D; 25%. %D[Yj `Â&#x2020; X\Y Â&#x2021;Â&#x2020;jWÂ&#x2020;^[ CS-SUNN advised that considerations should be
focused on â&#x20AC;&#x153;reduction of the current level of malnutrition by increasing the dietary nutrient intakes through locallyavailable nutrient-dense family homestead farms. Develop nutrition education messages regarding balanced diet, adequate food consumption and dietary diversity as well as develop behaviour change communication strategy to address complimentary feeding.â&#x20AC;? It also called on the need to target women and address issues of gender equity that contributes to women access to and control over income, which enhance their role in decision making related to household expenditures in communities and society as a whole.

odua Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Congress (OPC) has threatened that the publicity secretary of All Progressives Congress (APC), Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe risk being punished by Yoruba gods unless he apologises within seven days for allegedly insulting the group. According to the group, Igbokwe in a press interview during the week condemned the engagement of members of the OPC by the federal government to monitor petroleum pipelines in the south west. In the said interview published in a national daily (not Newswatch Times), the APC scribe was said to have described OPC and its members as fraudulent, hoodlums, lawless and outlaws among others. He was said to have asked, (â&#x20AC;&#x153;... why should hoodlums be used in securing pipelinesâ&#x20AC;Ś? Using OPC is a primitive way of securing pipelines.

And these women were trained in vocations like catering, tailoring, bead making, hat making, make-up and tying of head-gear. They were also trained on chemical-based productions like how to make insecticide, body spray and so on. Why we
picked these areas of training was because I have looked at the society and I just wanted something that will not just involve ordinary training, but what they could also make income from.

Newswatch Times, Saturday, June 20, 2015 the responsibility to take care of the children, and some of them, the moment their husband dies, that is the end of the education of their children. So people like this should be motivated in the society. We always say children are the leaders of tomorrow and if these children are not well taken care of, just imagine how the country will be like in future. Basically that is my drive, just to put smiles on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faces. Since the inception of this initiative in Lagos, how many women have you trained? Since the inception in March 2015, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve trained over 1,000 women and many of them are empowered more with their equipment of trade. Like I told you earlier, they were segmented into different classes depending on their interest. When they come, we ask them what they would like to learn; we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impose anything on anybody because it is what you have interest on thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you will learn. Some will want to learn catering, tailoring, and some will want to know how to bake cakes, how to cook national and intercontinental dishes and a lot more. You know the surprising thing, regardless of their age, you see them so dedicated to their work, you see them in their classes well seated and waiting for their instructors to come, and this is enough reason to inspire me to do more; it motivates me in wanting to give more to the
society. Since the inception, you have adopted 3,500 women and trained just 1,000, why? We trained only 1,000 because of lack of funds. The $ ! Ruby Gardens around Ikate in Lekki. We spent a lot of money engaging these women.
CONTENT
Your initiative has engaged in series of empowerment trainings, how do you get support? We get funds from companies, banks, through friends, and well-wishers. Remember it is a NonGovernmental Organization (NGO). What challenges do you think widows face most in this country? They face a lot of challenges. Number one is food. You know the basic needs of a man are food, clothing and security. I think these are the basics needs. Then some of them will want to give more to their children by sending them to school and to improve more on themselves. They face loneliness because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really have people around them to motivate them. In fact a lot of them, the moment their husbands die, they just give up because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any hope that anything good can come out of them. Continued on page 28

I devote 70 percent of my time to family and 30 percent to work
My husband is the best man in the world From my own assessment, one thing I think we should get right is that widows are part of the population that are really neglected. Some of them are neglected by families and even loved ones. I have a case where one of my students who is a widow was in a situation where her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family took away the children from her and refused to allow her see them. They made her look like she was a witch and the children were scared of her. They have said so many things to the children that whenever they saw their mom, they ran away. So just imagine the agony such a woman will be going through. You said widows are often neglected after the death of their husbands, how do you think this can be addressed in the society? Well, it starts from the family of the husband and the inability to accept somebody that is not a member of their family, forgetting that anybody that is married to a family has automatically become a member of the family. Also, I think families should also ensure widows and their children are well taken care of. After the training programmes, what
are the plans put in place to make trainees self -reliant? A lot of them are given equipments. The ones in the catering department were given ovens and gas cookers. Also, the ones in tailoring department were given sewing machines. The women in the hat making department were given materials they can use to start a trade. Those in make-up and head tie were given make up boxes, brushes and lots more. All these may not be too big, but at least, they can start up something. Can you share some of the most touching cases that you have handled since you set up your NGO? I just mentioned one who has about whenever they see her because of what family members have deposited in their minds. Also, there is a case of a girl who is about 22 years and is a widow with a 4 month old baby. According to her, she went into labour when she got the news of the death of her husband. So she actually gave birth a day after the death of her husband. In what ways do you think government and private sectors can participate and
support? The government can assist by providing more empowerment centres where widows can go and learn a trade or probably get educated in any area of their choice. Also, for NGOs like us that are so determined in reaching out At least if we cannot cover all the widows in Nigeria, we try our best in growing and making sure that most of them are really touched. Now that you have covered Lagos and Rivers, are you looking beyond these two states? Of course we intend to get to every widow. In fact, that is our goal: Reaching out to every widow in Nigeria. We are not going to limit ourselves to Lagos and Rivers States. The next state is Bayelsa; from there we will go to the North, because initially we were thinking of reaching out to every geographical zone in Nigeria. Do you have another area of interest apart from widows? Yes! We cover other areas like the less privileged, the children who I have special interest on and also the youth. I give scholarships yearly to orphans
! have the potentials to excel in their academics. We fund their needs from primary to university level, and most of them are doing extremely well today. How do you meet the people that you assist? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have special ways of meeting them. When I go out to the market, I see some of them; I go to church, they are there, and they are just all around the society. If you look closer, you would see at least one or two people that need assistance. I also tell the widows that they should come with a widow the next time, and the news spreads and before you know it, every How do you combine your busy schedule with your marriage? This is possible because my husband is very understanding. I seek permission to do all these works from him. The time for my family is different from the time for my philanthropic works. There is no area that is lacking, as I devote 70 percent of my time to my family and 30 percent to my work, unlike some women who do the opposite. So, does your husband support your philanthropic works? Yes, he is one of the sponsors of my works. How will you describe your husband? He is the best man in the world. He is very nice, kind, loving, caring, tolerant, patient and a giver. Any marriage advice to young ladies You must be submissive, honest, faithful and patient. You must also be hard working to become a virtuous woman. You must be respectful to your husband, children and the society at large. Can you tell us about your marriage? My marriage is one of the best and successful marriages in the world, because of the understanding of my husband and children. We work together as a team. My husband is one of our sponsors.

Five minutes with... Tamilore Ojo Martins is one of the wave making actresses currently rocking Yoruba movie industry, especially the movie scene in Ibadan. She got into acting few years ago, but has been able to carve a niche for herself. The sexy actress spoke with AJIBADE ALABI on many issues. Excerpts:

ell me about your new movie? It’s about a lady that was used for money rituals. Any man that has anything to do with her will experience poverty, no matter how rich the person may be. The lady has to die to save her sister from being used by the same person that used her. It is titled Aida. What prompted the storyline? It is prompted by what is happening in the society. Some guys are ready to sleep with anything in skirts. But as one Yoruba adage says, “Ohun to wa l’ eyin eefa ju eje lo”, That is, what is behind six is much more than seven. Men should be very careful and stop sleeping with every lady they see. Is it a true life story? Yes. I am shooting the movie to teach all promiscuous men some lessons. It happened in Badagry, but I don’t know the man in question. He was unable to survive it. Can you take us through your journey into acting? I first came into the industry in 2007. I left and later came back fully in 2010 under Laide Olobe’s group.” Why did you leave? I left because I couldn’t cope with my job then. What were you doing? I was a journalist then with the Nigerian Tribune. Why did you leave? Journalism is a very tasking job that requires full attention on its own. Acting also is the same. I found it difficult then to combine both together and I had to leave one for the other. Between the two professions, which one are you happy doing the most? I am happy with the one I am doing presently. Why acting? I chose acting because I have a passion for it. More so, acting is in my blood. My mum was once an actress with late Duro Ladipo’s theatre group. You are such a beautiful lady, why are you still single? I don’t want to talk about it please. There is so much abuse of sex in the movie industry, what’s your view about the word “sex” and sex before marriage? Sex is a normal thing between two adults and it’s biblical that we should be having it with our loved ones before we have babies. Sex to me is something I do with someone I love only. It is something I love doing because I know I’m very good at it. I’m not someone that will shy away from reality, so I will tell you my mind. It is something you are good at doing, can you talk more on that? Yes I can say I’m perfect in love making, but don’t forget I said I love doing it with someone I love only. Sex is spiritual. As long as my partner wants it, I give it to him. Which means if your partner asks for marathon daily, you won’t hesitate? Yes. How do you feel if you don’t have it in a week? Get me right please, I’m not an addict. Sometimes I don’t have sex for months, but when I want to have it, I make sure I do it wholeheartedly. Why do you love sex? I love it because it makes me feel cool and relaxed. I could as well relax without having sex, but sex cools the mind. What drives me crazy in the process depends on the way my man handles me. Honestly, what turns me crazy is the way my man responds to sex.
So how do you know when you are in love? I don’t easily fall in love, but when I find out I can do crazy things for a man, that is when I know I’m in love with the person. You were romantically linked with Oyo State Governor Ajimobi, how true is that? That is not true. It’s just a speculation; he only showered encomium on me. I was given an award by Oyo state government for a job well done and some journalists used the avenue to start speculating false reports.

10 ways to make him crazy about you Tunde Eso e-mail:tundeeso@yahoo.co.uk 08057482794
N
othing is better than being in a relationship where the guy is head over heels in love. If you want to make a guy crazy about you, it only takes a little bit of patience. The following steps will make it easy for him to fall completely in love with you. Wear perfume or a specific scent In the past, researchers have performed studies that have shown that scent is one of the most powerful memories. Even when we cannot remember where we smelled a scent, we recall smelling it in the past. It may sound superficial, but picking a specific scent can make guys fall head over heels for you. Choose a flirty perfume and dab a little on the wrists. Before long, he will associate that smell with being around you. Be involved with his friends and family If your friends hated the guy, it would make you question your relationship. The same thing goes for your date. Guys are loyal to their close friends and family. Learn how to get along with his friends and ask genuine questions about his family. If you honestly care about his close connections, he will be crazy about you. Enjoy your life It may not seem relevant, but enjoying your life is attractive. No one wants to spend time with a downer. If you are constantly depressed, it will only drive him away. Someone who is confident and loves their life is attractive. Learn how to enjoy your life and your guy will fall head over heels for you. Be independent Men tend to be turned off by girls with low selfesteem or a clingy nature. Be independent and show that you can get by on your own. Your independence is attractive and a sure fire way to keep his interest. Stay beautiful What is on the inside may matter most, but your personality was not the first thing he noticed. Even though we like to think that looks do not matter, the truth is that they matter greatly. In long-term relationships and marriages, it is easy to let your looks slip. Whatever you did to attract him originally, you should keep doing. Whether it was curly hair or a natural look, that style is what attracted him to you. When we fall in love, it is far too easy to become wrapped up and excessively clingy. You may want to spend all of your time with him, but constantly sticking to him will only push him away. A little absence will make the heart grow fonder. When he needs space, let him have it. By knowing when to be close and when to stay away, you will make him go crazy for you. Jealousy Jealousy is one of the worst things anyone can do in a relationship. Some ladies try to flirt with other guys or spend all their time with friends in an effort to make their love interest jealous. In some relationships, this may work. For most relationships, a delicate balance of together time and friend time will serve best. You want to give him enough time to miss you and not so much time that it makes him jealous. If you have already made it official and are going out, flirting with others should be stringently avoided.
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to be unique No two people are exactly the same and there is no reason you should try to be. You have unique qualities and you should let them shine. These attributes set you apart and are attractive to your significant other. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to let your individualism and unusual traits out. Learn to listen If you want to catch your crush, you have to listen. Everyone likes to feel like someone cares and wants to pay attention to them. The best way to show that you care is to listen to what he says. Guys like it when the girl they care about cares about them too. Instead of always talking about your own passions and interests, let him speak his mind. He may not always be as vocal with his feelings, but he will open up eventually. Be yourself You have to be yourself. If you are pretending to have different qualities or attributes, your guy will be falling for a lady that is not you. Over a few weeks or months, he will discover that what he is dating is a fraud. Likewise, a guy who is not interested in who you are at the start is not a person that you will end up spending your life with. You need to find a guy who likes you for who you are. Make sure to be yourself and he will be crazy for you. Stick to these ten tips and you are sure to make your crush fall head over heels. Be yourself and be involved in his life. If he thinks you care about his life, he will love you for it.

ccessories can make or break your outfit. From hats to shoes, it is important to strike the right balance with accessorizing; otherwise an outfit might simply turn out all wrong. One accessory in particular is important on both a function level and a fashion level: the clutch purse. A standard clutch purse holds some basic necessary items, including a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, credit cards, cash, and perhaps a cell phone. Here are some lovely clutch purses for bridesmaids.

he knowledge and practise of good character traits is founded on how disciplined you are. Discipline is the practice of training of people to obey rules or a code of conduct or behaviour. Controlled behaviour resulting from such training as discipline, cant be over emphasized. The training usually involves techniques and rudiments for the skill, it can also be by rebuke or punishment for an offense. Discipline demands regular practice and instructions being taught, learnt and utilised. At keeping good habits and walking decisively away from bad ones. Doing the right things at the appropriate time in the right manner. Never under, or agitated nor being moved to behaving contrary to accepted rules and codes. Discipline applies to every area of life/living, at techniques of doing things, behaviours and dispositions. It is the bed rock on which every character trait gains strength. Not being driven by emotions, situations or issues but knowing that what is right is right. A disciplined man is a cautious, conscientious, conscious person. Discipline is vital for a successful life. Discipline means abiding by, or adhering to certain rules or norms of social life. Self-discipline therefore is what a person imposes on himself taking it as his duty to God, society or some other institution. It is about making good choices and helping others to do the same. It is also knowing and accepting the consequences of breaking rules. Self-discipline is when you know what is the right thing to do and you do it without being reminded. It demands a strict control over an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right and privilege,which if unchecked may result in disorders and anarchy in social and otherwise.

Character is it: Discipline-the foundation (1) of behaviours and make a harmonious adjustments between our rights and duties. Also to prevent chaos, humans as higher animals derived discipline to effect peace and serenity in our societies. Take for instance if man was not guided with the idea of marriage, money (currency) as a tender in exchange for whatever was needed for purchase and clothing, to conceal some body parts, to curtail misbehaviour. Marriage has helped to prevent excesses, confusion, aggression, rage, abuse, rape and more. Imagine without marriage, who takes responsibility for fatherhood for the children, what would be the driving force for a man to work and eventually what is his essence as a human being. Procreation as a major essence for marriage, I believe man and woman should always be the ones to come together for the union. To maintain all these, discipline is used as the guide, monitor and order to these norms, values and laws. Discipline as a guide helps to know and sustain the value and the essence of marriage to the society , as a monitor it helps to scrutinise his wife is identified as his, bearing his name and having his children. Even when two wives are married, they are identified, thereby we know who is responsible for what and what , for this reason A man would not think he can have sex with everybody and anyhow. With discipline, the man is bound by marriage, the demands and complications of divorce. His quest for more is thereby clamped with penalties of violation of cultural and societal laws. With these societal rules, regulations and laws, discipline will reduce the tendencies for abuse, rape and molestation. Discipline is the backbone in the Nations politics. Democracy demands discipline to run properly, if not it will be ran like a car without brakes. There may be chaos and topple soon, if discipline isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the practise of the politicians, especially among the elected ones. It is an essential virtue for Leaders at various capacities to be effective and purposeful at achieving their supposed goals. Leaders must possess and maintain an intellectual and moral discipline of high order to command respect and obedience. Discipline in view, parents, teachers and children are not exempted. Disciplined Children are the pillars of a Nations strength and with their strength of character, they can lift a nation to the great height of progress. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a constraint on liberty and self-fulfilment and freedom. It should be taught by education and enlightenment. As children grow from being babies into toddlers, what they see to emulate matters greatly. They watch to see how things are done around them, the language used, gestures, appearance/outlook and all. They see more than the tangible things, but also the intangibles. It is best to fortify
children with acts of discipline early enough, knowing its essence, the gains and its effects on their life and their society as a whole. There was a little boy who was given everything he wanted. As an infant, he was given a bottle at the first little whimper. He was picked up and held whenever he fused. His parents said, He will think we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love him if we let him cry. He was never disciplined for leaving the yard, even after being told not to do so. He suffered no consequence for breaking windows or tearing up flowerbeds. His parents said, He will think we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love him. He was given no chores to do, practically everything was done for him, they said, so he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love him. Nobody ever stopped him from using bad words and he was never reprimanded for scribbling on the walls. They gave the excuse of maybe he just needs to stifle his creativity. He also was never forced to go to church with the parents, he went whenever he wanted to go. The parent would say, he will think we are forcing religion down his throat. One day his parents received news that their son was in jail for assault. They cried to each other, all we ever did was love him and do for him. Unfortunately, that is, indeed, all they did. The boy could have been taught from childhood to stay out of trouble, so he would have become a good boy, having been taught to do the right things, reprimanded for doing the wrong things even if he cries, facing consequences like being grounded in his room or being deprived. Discipline is the executor for every knowledge in any character trait or attitudinal behaviour, since it is one thing to know, it is another to do that right thing you know, at the right time and the right way. For instance, when home works are given, you are told how it should be done and when it should be submitted. Another is when a chore is given, the chore is expected or you are told how it should be done and done before a stipulated time. Doing the home work or chore at your time and way/mode is indiscipline. Children should be given appropriate ground rules to be followed, this should be given along with the consequence factor, which is the punishment they should expect if they defaulted or derailed during their quest for fun. Ground rules are guiding principles and rules that are drafted and itemised by the parents involved in bringing the children up. Usually the rules comes with their ages and their mental capacity. Examples of these rules are; always brush your teeth before food and may be twice daily. Always lay your bed before leaving your room every morning. Wash your hands before and after food no matter what type of food you eat. Always finish up your assignment before watching television. Always collect the amount of food you can finish, and so on.

ood nutrition plays a critical role in enhancing the health of our immune system. In terms of diet, keeping our immune system healthy is just as much about what foods act as suppressors to our immune system as it is about what foods enhance its health.

igerian pepper soup is a broth-like savoury, spicy soup made with either assorted meat/fish or poultry and some â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;hotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; local spices. This is one of the sought-after Nigerian soups and is usually named based on the type of meat (protein)used in cooking it. This recipe below, is the assorted cow meat pepper soup, but you can also use the same recipe for goat meat pepper soup Ingredients *500 g assorted cow (tripe, heart, liver & muscle)...cut into small pieces *2 tablespoonful pepper soup spice mix *Habanero/chilli pepper (to taste) *2 teaspoonful dry uziza/basil leaves (optional) *1 tablespoonful of ground crayfish
*2 stock cubes /stock powder(maggi or knorr e.t.c) * 1 teaspoon thyme (optional) *1 medium onion bulb (chopped) * Salt - to taste *Water (as needed) Preparation If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the pre-packaged pepper soup spices, you can prepare you own pepper soup spices. First, clean and cook the toughest meat first, which is usually the cow foot and tripe (shaki). Add salt and thyme, pour enough water to cover the meat and leave to cook for 35 minutes on medium heat. Tip: The thyme is optional, so you leave it out if you want to.
After 35 minutes, stir and add the cow heart. Cook for 10 minutes and then add the muscle (fuku) and the liver. Stir well and add more water to cover the meat. Add the chopped onions and stock cubes. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. Next, add the ground pepper, ground crayfish, uziza/basil leaves, the ground pepper soup spices, mix thoroughly and cook for 5 minutes or until the assorted meat are well cooked. Now the pepper soup is ready . Serve hot and enjoy. Nigerian pepper soup can be served alone as a side dish, or eaten as a meal, with eko (agidi), agidi jollof, boiled yams, boiled potatoes and boiled plantains.

We have recently successfully achieved the passing of the Diaspora Commission Bill at the Nigerian Senate and pending presidential endorsement. This bill has been over four years coming with aggressive background lobbying to the credit of many within the Diaspora discourse. We have been very instrumental to the adoption of four bills by the just concluded National conference, a credit to the resilience of NIDOA Chairman, Chief Gab Okoye, and many other members of NIDOWORLD.

It is also on record that we lost several members of the OPC to ensure that

According to the statement, the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chieftain, Gani Adams recalled how he and OPC fought for the release of the leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike and the leader of NDPVF, Asari Dokubo from detention, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was Otunba Gani Adams who put together a body, the Coalition For the Freedom of Dokubo and

Politics Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; uneasy calm and Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scorecard Nath Omame, Jr.
T
he ominous clouds of politically motivated violence that spewed into bloody confrontations and deaths before and during the elections appear to have been swallowed by the emergence of a new government. The crass whirlpool of intolerance evinced by the combustive streak of reluctance to listen to views that do not align with those cherished by other pressure groups, associates, or political parties is thawing to the amazement, and passive acclamation of many residents, who Â&#x2014;YÂ&#x2C6;Y [ZDÂ&#x2C6;Yj X` `4YÂ&#x2C6; WÂ&#x2020;Â&#x2020;`ZÂ&#x2030;`Â&#x2030;[ public comment in the weeks and months preceding the March 28 presidential and April 11 gubernatorial elections. Although, there were other candidates in the governorship election, the three main candidates were Dr. Dakuku Peterside, a former member of the seventh House of Representative, of the All Progressives Party (APC); Chief Nyesom Wike, a lawyer, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the candidate of the Labour Party (LP), represented by Prince Tonye Princewill, a Petroleum Engineer. But the candidature of Chief Wike and Dr. Peterside were those that visibly heightened political tension in the state. And the political disagreement between former Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and Wike, then a Minister of State for Education in former President Goodluck Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration, became the focal point of the root that grew into a tree, bearing fruits of political suspicion, mutual distrust, isolation, squabbles, andpolitical intolerance that, in the course of explosive arguments, spilled over into political violence. Until Wike plucked the vim to challenge Amaechi, his erstwhile Z\Â&#x2030;Â&#x201C; Z`Â&#x2020;Â&#x2021;jDÂ&#x2020;X DÂ&#x2020;j Â&#x201D;Y]]`Â&#x2014; WÂ&#x2020;jWgene of the Ikwerre ethnic stock, there was no formidable opposition to Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stronghold of the PDP. Once Wike made his disagreement public, other grassroots and notable politicians in the state, who felt ignored or marginalised by Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government thronged to Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side to enlarge the bandwagon of opposition. Wike signaled his resolve to confront Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unquestionable dominance of Rivers politics by sponsoring a legal challenge to the legality of the state executive of the PDP, which was then led by Chief Godspower Ake, as chairman. Decisions by the Ake-led executive were re^DÂ&#x2C6;jYj D[ Â&#x2021;Â&#x2020;D] EYZDÂ&#x2030;[Y X\Yq Â&#x2014;YÂ&#x2C6;Y seen as the position of Amaechi, who, as governo, was the leader of the PDP in Rivers State. Consequently, all those who felt alienat-

ed by the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive could only sulk because the governor would always approve of whatever action the state executive took since it was seen as an extension of Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government. But all that changed on Monday, April 15, 2013, when Justice Ishaq Bello, of an Abuja High Court, sacked the Ake-led exco. Justice Bello proclaimed that the chairman and the secretary have been sacked by the order of the court, and that Felix Obuah and Walter Ibibia Opuene, should be immediately sworn-in as chairman and secretary, respectively. And the then National Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, complied and swore them in at Abuja. Amaechi and his supporters recoiled in anger. Feeling slighted, Amaechi and his supporters refused to accept and work with the Obuah-led state executive of the PDP, perceived as Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation. Protest for and against the decision of Justice Bello, snowballed into street violence that the then Commissioner of Police, Mbu Joseph Mbu, banned continued public protest and public show of solidarity to Government House that had taken the shade of a daily routine. To demonstrate the degree of his opposition to Amaechi, Wike found-
Amaechi ed the Grassroots Development Initiative (GDI,) with executives in all 23 local government areas of the state. The GDI later metamorphosed into his governorship campaign machinery. Amaechi, in turn, set up the Rivers Leadership Foundation (RIVLEAF), and some months later, the Save Rivers Movement (SRM). The GDI, RIVELEAF and SRM, vigorously embarked on subtle political campaigns even before the embargo on active partisan political campaigns were formally lifted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The tone of the groups for Amaechi and Wike, because of prevailing circumstances, became increasingly belligerent. Accusations and counter accusations of betrayal became rampant. Those who were politically rewarded by Amaechi and those who felt alienated by Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government took adversarial positions and dug deeper into their trenchY[ 7\`[Y Â&#x2014;\` \Dj EYÂ&#x2020;YÂ&#x2021;XYj from Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government and those who believed they will be accommodated by Wike should he become Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successor sank deeper into their dungeon and brickbats, and statements, comments and criticisms erupting form both camps became in-
Peterside creasingly more trenchant and uncompromising. The adamant stance of both opposing groups, did, indeed, increase political tension in the state. And the governorship campaigns further shot up the tempo of smoldering tension culminating into a culture of intolerance and bloody confrontations witnessed before and during the general elections. Another factor that provoked so much anger and endeared Governor Wike to those opposed to Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style of governance was Amaechiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public aversion to Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second term bid for the presidency. Being a native of Utuoke, in Bayelsa State, South-South geo-political region; those in Rivers State who felt that Jonathan from the South-South should be allowed to vie for a second term saw another reason to align with Chief Wike who was openly campaigning for the re-election of Jonathan for a second term of four years. That a governor from the South-South was not only working against the re-election of Jonathan for a second term, but had formed a rather intimidating alliance with othYÂ&#x2C6; Â&#x2039;`]WXWZD] Â&#x2039;DÂ&#x2C6;XWY[ DÂ&#x2020;j WÂ&#x2020;ÂŽÂ&#x2030;YÂ&#x2020;XWD] politicians in other geo-political regions to thwart Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of being re-elected, fur-
Though the APC and some members of the public have expressed dismay over some actions taken by Governor Wike since he took over power three weeks ago, he has also received loud accolade from some sections of the public, including professional and trade bodies
ther bolstered Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regiment of supporters. Therefore, the issues that provoked political disagreement became two-pronged and increasingly more complex, vexatious, and combustive in the weeks and months leading to the election. Both contending groups hammered out series of weighty allegations during the campaigns, and the reactions of supporters from either camp to refute these allegations provoked very passionate arguments that more often than not deteriorated into violence and bloody skirmishes. But these inglorious scenarios appear to have evaporated with Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s electoral victory and formal swearing-in as the governor of Rivers State, on Friday, May 29. Though the declaration of Wike as the winner of the March 28 governorship election was received with some reservation by the APC, and the party has gone to the election petition tribunal in its determination to prove its claim that the election was not free, fair and credible, Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swearing-in ceremony which was held at the Liberation Stadium, Elekahia, was nonetheless a colourful convivial carnival parade. Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wike swearingin ceremony was a continuation of the celebration of back-slapping and thumbing of the hand with which Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters and admirers received the news of Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory. Somewhat, Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory has soothed the pain, anguish and suspense that his supporters went through before and during the election. And having clinched the coveted position of governorship, the temptation, bitterness and willingness to react aggressively to members and supporters of the APC palled considerably, may be because they are now more interested in getting actively involved in *`_YÂ&#x2C6;Â&#x2020;`Â&#x2C6; :WÂĽY¤[ ÂŽYj^WÂ&#x2020;^ ^`_ernment. ,Â&#x2020; \W[ Â&#x2021;Â&#x2C6;[X Â&#x2039;`]WZq [Â&#x2039;YYZ\ Â&#x201C;WÂ&#x2020;utes after he became the governor of Rivers State, Wike poured cold water on the raging controversy on who should be appointed the chief judge of the state, an unfortunate development that led to the closure of courts for 21 months, by appointing Justice Daisy Okocha, the most senior judge in the hierarchy of the state High Court as the acting chief judge.

The excuse that there was no money for the payment of minimum wage to teachers was not acceptable to them as they insisted that what was paid to other workers should be paid to them. This situation continued until the 2015 elections drew very close, and Gabriel Suswam began to lobby them concerning his senatorial ambition. The teachers gave him the impression that they were going to support him to win the election in the Benue North-East Senatorial District, but he was deceived. The issue is: Why would a governor who could not pay workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; salaries and monthly pension increase the burden of his successor by recruiting more people into the civil service? Why would a governor who has not left a kobo in the treasury allow his aides to backdate the employment of some people who were engaged in May this year? The problem of recruitment was heightened by Suswanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence that Tor Tiv Â&#x201C;Â&#x2030;[X DÂ&#x2039;Â&#x2039;`WÂ&#x2020;X [W§ Â&#x2021;Â&#x2C6;[X Z]D[[ chiefs because he had interest in somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointment. He, who insisted that the process of appointment must go on, later instructed his lawyers to settle the matter out of court. As a lawyer, he ran foul of the law by going against a court injunction under the excuse that the order was not served on him. To show that what he did was not in the best interest of

Riversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; uneasy calm and Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scorecard Continued from Page 50
tainees, litigants, the police and members of the public can now assess the court. Wike assured after swearing in both Justice Okocha and Gabriel-Nwankwo, that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the door of justice will no longer be shut to any Rivers man or woman.â&#x20AC;? A day after the courts were opened, Wike formally inaugurated the 8th House of Assembly. The House which was entrenched in the political crisis that entrapped the state formally wit-
nessed the sitting of lawmakYÂ&#x2C6;[ Â&#x201D;`Â&#x2C6; X\Y Â&#x2021;Â&#x2C6;[X XWÂ&#x201C;Y WÂ&#x2020; Â&#x201C;`Â&#x2020;X\[ in the House of Assembly complex along Moscow Road, in Port Harcourt. These two momentous events contributed in no small measure to dousing the tension witnessed before and during the gubernatorial election in the state. However, an`X\YÂ&#x2C6; ÂŽD[\Â&#x2039;`WÂ&#x2020;X EÂ&#x2C6;YÂ&#x2014;WÂ&#x2020;^ WÂ&#x2020; X\Y state is the allegation by 22 local government chairmen and their councilors that Governor Wike is planning to dissolve their coun-
cil executive by obtaining a resolution from the House of Assembly to act in that direction. The 22 local government chairmen, councilors and their supporters last week staged a peaceful protest to the House of Assembly, insisting that they will resist any attempt by Governor Wike to dissolve them. Much as government is said to be a continuum, that aphorism as demonstrated by Governor Wike should be limited to the realm of worthwhile capi-
tal projects that can convincingly impact positively on the lives of the electorates. On Monday, June 15, Governor Wike dissolved all boards of parastatals and agencies of government in the state. He ordered that all members of the dissolved boards and agencies should handover all government properties to the various authorities in their boards. Though the APC and some members of the public have expressed dismay over some actions taken by Governor Wike since he took
over power three weeks ago, he has also received loud accolade from some sections of the public, including professional and trade bodies. The major problem after the general election is the increasing spate of kidnapping which the police have begun to confront with daring resolve. Security, lack of funds, employment generation, power, bad roads, lack of market spaces for traders, multiple taxation syndrome are some of the problems confronting Governor Wikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration.

eague of Idoma Professors, LIP, has promised to work in partnership with the newly established Federal University of Health Sciences, Otukpo, to help promote academic excellence. Speaking at a dinner organised in honour of the governing board of the institution by the immediate past Senate President, David Mark, in Otukpo, chairman of the league of over 100 professors, Professor Owoicho Akpa, said the body will deploy its armoury to ensure Â&#x2019;~xÂ&#x2019;^ Â&#x2019;~q^ [zj q_}jÂ&#x2019;ÂŞ^ x2xjz}^ Â&#x2019;~q^ }Â&#x2019;xÂ&#x2019;[}^ Â&#x2DC;|^ x^ _}Â&#x2019;^ k\x}}^ jzstitution.

Responding, the Chairman and Pro-Chancellor of the University, Arc Ferdinand Agu, thanked the Idoma professors for their desire to make the institution succeed as there is no point to have a varsity of excel\qzkq^ ¨jÂ&#x2019;~Â&#x2DC;[Â&#x2019;^ kÂ&#x2DC;ÂŚÂŚj2jzÂ&#x2014;^ jÂ&#x2019;^ to excellence.
The pro-chancellor who lamented the dropping of Nigerian universities from world ranking promised to convene a brain of scholars to brainstorm on the way forward for the new university. He said the university will not become a victim of politics of the host community which makes it mandatory for a university to appoint its vice chancellor from its host community as the practice, according to him, destroys the ideals of scholarship. The paramount ruler of Idoma people, His Royal Highness, Agaba-Idu, Ikoyi Elias Obekpa, who was represented at the occasion expressed profound gratitude to Senator Mark, saying he
has a good story to tell the ancestors whenever he goes to the great beyond. Senator Mark who was represented by his wife, Helen, promised to give support to the institution when he is called on.

Why Falcons, Flying Eagles crashed â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Expert
N
i i b igeria-born USA-based football agent, Kingsley Chukwuemeka, has said Nigeria womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team and the Flying Eagles failed to excel at their respective World Cups because both teams have quality players but lacked quality coaching.

Ă&#x17D; ~j}^j}}[q^j}^zÂ&#x2DC;Â&#x2019;^ peculiar to these two teams only, but a general problem with Nigerian coaches and Africans at large. Nigeria coaches donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the coaching technique to handle teams at the world stage. Ă&#x17D; xz[^~x}^}Â&#x2DC;ÂŚqÂ&#x2019;~jzÂ&#x2014;^x}^ a coach, he has eyes for identifying talent, but he needs to go on coaching courses and conferences outside Nigeria to equip
himself. Not only Manu, but the other coaches too so that they will be know how football is in the world now.

He further told |_jkxz Â&#x2DC;Â&#x2DC;Â&#x2019;Zx\\Â&#x20AC;kÂ&#x2DC;ÂŚĂ?^Ă&#x17D; ^ think the Flying Eagles failed because they got carried away because they won at U17 and won the African U20 Championship.

Keshi loses power on Nigeria squad N
igeria head coach, Stephen Keshi, will no longer make a unilateral decision in the selection of the Super Eagles squad for international matches. President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, disclosed that the Super xÂ&#x2014;\q}^Â&#x2014;x7q_^Ă&#x17D;¨j\\^}Â&#x2019;j\\^ have his inputâ&#x20AC;? in calling up players but will now have to be supervised by the technical director, Shuaibu Amodu. Keshi is also likely to work with the technical study group headed by his former national teammate, Austin
Okocha, who is now chairman of the Delta State FA. Pinnick further stated that Amodu has been directed by the football federation to wield his powers as technical director as the NFF will hold him responsible, and zÂ&#x2DC;Â&#x2019;^ q}~jÂĄ^Ă&#x17D;j|^xzÂŞÂ&#x2019;~jzÂ&#x2014;^ happens.â&#x20AC;?

And like I told him (Shuaibu Amodu), if anything happens we are not going to hold Keshi responsible but we are going to hold you responsible because you are a part of it. And we made him to understand that and he said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yes sir.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So if you say you want to be Keshiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend - we are zÂ&#x2DC;Â&#x2019;^ Â&#x2014;~Â&#x2019;jzÂ&#x2014;^xzÂŞZÂ&#x2DC;{ÂŞ^Ă&#x2030;^Â&#x2DC;_^ you want to compromise but you are the technical director and we are going
