Nigeria has 10m out-of-school kids, says Education Minister Isah Idris, Abuja

S

upervising Minister of Education, Mr Nyeson Wike, has said the number of out-of-school children in the country is 10 million. He stated this in Abuja yesterday while presenting a two-year score card of the Ministry of Education to the heads of tertiary, secondary and basic education, disclosing, however, that the Federal Government has

to create access and quality in Nigerian education sector, to close the gap of the existing 10 million out of schools in the country. Wike said the 10 million out of school children is real, adding that the northern states share the greater proportion of the population from among the Almajiri children that roam the streets in the North. Wike explained that the Federal Government

has increased funding of basic, secondary and tertiary education through the Universal Basic Education and Tertiary Education Trust

intervention to the respective schools. Part of the intervention, he said, is the increased funding for Almajiri Model Schools in most northern states and Edo State under the Memorandum of Agreement (MoU), where it has built reasonable number of schools, provide instructional materials and books across the country, while the states recruit teachers and pay their salaries. Wike pointed out that Girl-Child-Education has also received a boost as the government has built about 35 schools in the northern states and southern including Gombe, Sokoto, Jigawa, Ekiti, Cross River, Ad-

amawa, Imo, Kogi, Benue and Kwara states. The out-of-school children among boys and school drop-outs in the southern states, he said,

school enrolments in the respective states. Nomadic education for ! men and pastoral hunters are being vigorously pursued as such schools have been built in Gombe, Jigawa, Bayelsa, Edo, Yobe among other states under the N1billon project fund provided by UNESCO. The minister stressed that federal government Free Text Book Initiative, which gulped N52million in 2011, has been increased for regular provision of free text books to states for distribution to primary schools.

Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, however expressed dissatisfaction at the low rating of President Jonathan administration in the education sector development. While unveiling the Education Sector Performance Report, Maku said the present administration, apart from the increased funding for basic, secondary and tertiary education, has expanded access and quality in school through the establishment of Open University, thereby creating 250, 000 enrolments annually while maintaining 50 centres across the country.

Ex-lawmaker lauds move to create new states Godwin Akor, Makurdi

A

former member of the House of Representatives, Mr Samuel Ojogbane Adoyi, has said the recommendation for the creation of 18 states by the National Conference was a step forward. Adoyi told Saturday Newswatch in an interview that during the # ! $ tional Assembly recommended the creation of some states but the army struck at the time a referendum was to be conducted on the matter. He said the three states recommended from each geopolitical zone should be an eye opener to the National % &# ! #

that the National Conference was not set up by law. Adoyi, who represented Ogbadibo/ Ado/ Okpokwu Federal constituency during the Shehu Shagari administration, said the people of Benue South Senatorial District should &&

tion of Apa State should not leave the struggle for one person, stressing that National and State Assemblies should be lobbied to make the dream come true. The member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) said all the 18 states recommended by the National Conference may not have the same potentials, urging the National Assembly to go back to the issue of state creation since Nigerians have again expressed the desire for it. On his part, Chief Godwin Ukpoju, who recently left the APC for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he does not believe the recommendation made by the National Conference on the creation of states would work because the body has no constitutional powers. Ukpoju, who was the state chairman of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) before he joined the APC and dumped it, also said even if the recommendation for the creation of more states goes to the National Assembly, the members may not look at it because they had earlier said it was not possible to create more states.

T

he Socio-Political Association of Igbo People (Worldwide), Igboezue, has taken up Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, over his Thursday’s statement that the ongoing Boko Haram menace is worse than the carnage recorded in the 1967 civil war. The group aptly described Soyinka’s statement as, “insensitive, reckless and irresponsible,� adding, “Prof. Soyinka is greatly diminished by this poorly rated outing.� The association’s national leader, Chief Chekwas Okorie, in a statement copied Saturday Newswatch wrote that the literary icon only insulted the sensibilities of the Igbo nation with the statement made to Reuters cable network news. The group was worried that Soyinka couldn’t discuss issues that would further enhance unity of the country, rather delved into divisive circumstances that could

only heighten the growing suspicions in the country. Stating that the statement by Soyinka displayed his ignorance and pretence of the 30-month old war that allegedly killed about two million people in the south east and south-south, it said, “Ndigbo woke up in the morning of Thursday 3rd July, 2014 to be assaulted by the rude shock of Prof. Wole Soyinka’s unguarded statement that the Boko Haram insurgency is worse than Biafra/Nigeria war which lasted for 30 months from 1967 – 1970. “Prof. Wole Soyinka’s statement to the Reuters which was broadcast worldwide and published in virtually all the Nigerian newspapers is to  #

world with the Boko Haram insurgency,� it said. Okorie declared that Soyinka’ statement was not only degrading, “It is even more reprehensible, considering the fact that to some small extent, Soyinka was involved in that war to the point of being suspected by the Nigerian Government of that time of conniving and collaborating with Gen.

A

s preparations for the 2015 general elections gather momentum in the South Western states, the recent victory of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ekiti State governorship election has triggered chains of events in political circles in all Yoruba-speaking states. Saturday Newswatch recalls the jubilation in the PDP camp in Osun ^

party’s candidate in the June 21, 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, had won the election. Since then, the tempo of campaigns for the August 9 governorship election in the state has changed drastically. Members of the PDP have since averred that the situation in Osun would follow the Ekiti trend. They reckon that Osun does not only share a common boundary with Ekiti State, but also has a common socio-cultural heritage as Yoruba-speaking people. However, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State countered this assertion saying the environment !

The day after Ekiti was whitewashed, the APC leadership, including its national chairman, John Odigie Oyegun, South West leader, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Governor Rauf Aregbesola and some handpicked party faithful rushed to the former national secretary of the defunct new PDP, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, to rescue the APC in the state. Ekiti and Osun are sister states. PDP lost the two states to the APC in similar circumstances via judicial ambush. The tactics and strategies employed in the two states to regain power from the incumbents are similar. Therefore, as it is evident that the PDP will win the August 9 gubernatorial election, the APC # } _ “That is why Aregbesola is latching onto violence and mayhem as his strongest point as orchestrated in the engagement of his boys who came to Ikirun during their June 24 federal constituency mega rally, shooting sporadically to disrupt the peace of the environment.

Osun State. “Some instances are the crowd at the Ikirun campaign rally in less than 50 hours after the Ekiti election and the unprecedented demonstration of support at Gbangba D’ekun’s event in Ijebu Jesa only a few days ago, both of which took place in Osun after the Ekiti tragedy.

Therefore, with the various ways that the person and character of Omisore is being maligned in Osun State, it will not be a surprise if he too is returned as the elected governor of Osun State at the August 9 governorship election. An APC adherent in response, disclosed that the political environment in the two states are quite _ † Œ ! &#

Political pundits spoken to in Osun State are of the view that the PDP victory in Ekiti State has put pressure on the APC and PDP as leading political parties. To them, it is not a surprise that the incumbent governor tactically changed his mode of campaign as he has become more vociferous

Adebayo Alao-Akala is one of the PDP chieftains in the state, who is now engaged in galvanising party members into forming a united team, especially as the 2015 elections approach. The doors of his Ogbomoso home are not only opened to PDP members who now hold regular meetings there, the former governor has also been wooing other politicians into the party. Political observers are therefore not surprised when

at one of such meetings, PDP leaders in the Ogbomoso zone gave the former governor the go ahead to contest the state governorship election again, assuring him of their full support. A PDP chieftain in the zone, Chief Adebayo Oyewusi said Otunba Alao-Akala was given the nod to contest the 2015 governorship election because of his pedigree and &

The two executives are believed to have the backings and supports of powerful party chieftains like Senator Balogun, Otunba Akala, Senator Teslim Folarin, Minister of State for Federal Capital Territory, Oloye Jumoke Akinjide and Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, while some PDP chieftains like Dr. Dejo Raimi and Engr. Wole Oyelese chose to be neutral and manage their own groups and followers. The fractionalisation in the party is also believed to have been responsible for the current long list of its aspirants for the 2015 governorship Œ ^ _ † !

the PDP currently has the largest number of governorship aspirants out of all the political parties in the state. The aspirants include former Governor Akala, his Deputy, Arapaja, former Senate leader, Folarin, erstwhile Deputy Governor, Hazeem Gbolarunmi, former Minister of

a nutshell, it has not been < ‚ #

exciting and I’m enjoying it. Can you enumerate the liabilities the current government inherited from the previous administration? When this government & < ;

2011, the norm was the inability or unwillingness on the part of government to take responsibilities especially that of meeting maturing obligations like some recurrent obligations. It was the practice in the last administration that civil and public servants are owed salaries for upwards of three to four months. And, of course, pensions were not even paid.

^ ! &

came on board, we discovered that civil servants had not even been paid their April salaries; so, that was a responsibility we faced and we immediately moved in to clear the backlog of salaries. Another major liability was the fact that the last administration, on the eve of the governorship election, borrowed a whooping N6 billion - a government that was winding up! That money was borrowed, disbursed by the bank and drawn down within a space of seven to 10 working days. That facility, though fully accessed by the previous administration, became the responsibility of the present administration. As a responsible and responsive government, we are squarely saddled with the obligation of liquidating that indebtedness. Again, in 2009, the same government had contracted an N18.5 billion 15.5 per cent development bond which is to lapse in 2016. We have been servicing this obligation with a monthly deduction via † # ^

| & Œ †^|Œ

with the implication that N358.43 million is deducted monthly from our allocation to service this obligation. ! †& ^

over N19 billion and that is an enormous fund taken from our paltry allocation. We were also confronted by the liability of several contractors who claimed to have done one job or the other for government and were being owed huge sums of money. We are #

# _ ^ !

did not meet assets as it were, but huge liabilities. But, like a responsible and responsive government, we understand that government is a going concern. Not a few stakeholders at the time came out to tell us not to pay the N6 billion loan, as the fund was used by the former governor

Deacon Okafor

to execute his personal political project. As a &

!

was disbursed in April but like I said, we understand that government is a continuum. It was not just any individual that borrowed, it was the Imo ^ &

borrowed and as we found < !

became our responsibility as a government. Looking at the scenario again, it is also understandable because the previous government did not know and would not have believed that it would not succeed itself. Nothing

For us development knows no party line; whether you are APC or PDP for us is inconsequential, as our concern is the people and not the parties. Like my governor will always say, ‘My people, my people’ and not ‘My party, my party’. This government is large-hearted and not divisive to the extent that some communities in Obowo even have spare transformers

any where suggested to that administration that it was not going to succeed itself. Considering how loud they were, for them, it was inconceivable until the Imo people told them otherwise. There is no doubt that these liabilities were contracted with the belief that they still had four years in Douglas House, but Imo people said no. Have these liabilities / " deliver on your promises to Imo people? I will say yes and no. No, in the sense that we have been able to do as much as we promised Imo people we will do. Yes, in the sense that we could have done a lot more if we were not saddled with these liabilities. But like I said, the mandate Imo people gave Owelle Rochas Okorocha was not predicated on any level of # _ ^ !

more like a hurdle. What is the story behind the ‘Malaysia’ market in Obowo? Incidentally, I come from Obowo, I call it the Imo Rescue Market, but the traders popularly refer to it as ‘Malaysia’ market. Malaysia is one of the great Asian tigers. There is actually a story # & = _

^ &

traders of Imo extraction who were hitherto doing business in Umuahia came & ^ &# ! ~[Q~

to complain that they had been relocated from Umuahia to Ikot-Ekpene, Umudike and that they did not quite like that for obvious economic reasons.

According to them, they were not even allowed to own shops where they were relocated to outside Umuahia main town. And considering that most of them were part of the market leadership in Umuahia, they pleaded †& ^

government to relocate them somewhere a lot more conducive, around the border between Imo %# ^ ! {

that they were willing to bring their businesses to Imo. From all indications, they obviously had that particular site in mind

in the early hours of Tuesday, July 1, 2014, the Boko Haram sect detonated bombs in three states of Borno, Kaduna and Osun. Much as only pity and regular sighs greeted the blast in Chibok, Borno and Kaduna states, surprise and amazement trailed the unexpected blast at Ile Ife in Osun State. Though the people of Osun State were surprised at the development it would recalled however, that in June 2007, a similar incident happened in the premises of the state’s Ministry of Water Resources. The people were not the only surprised entity here, the South west region expressed their surprise and fear, and so did the entire people of the South.

É While all these questions were gaining ground in the minds of all and sundry, the security agencies which had previously

accepted that there was a bomb blast turned around to say it was an explosion induced by carbide. The Police assessment however, is a welcomed development, provided it is not actually a gimmick, meant to give the people of the south an uneasy calm. Whatever is the Police intention, it is still welcome but we must realise that the & &

the day goes by, and must be matched with adequate response and pro-active measures. We do not have to wait until the incursion in the south becomes full blown before enduring measures are taken to nip their activities in the bud. The Police authorities as well as other security apparatuses should be on their toes now because the ground has been tested. Whether it is real bomb or carbide, the truth remains that there was an explosion. The state’s executives in both west and eastern regions should not fold their hands # & #

n 1972, as the editor of New Era Magazine, Kano, my editorial team and I had gone to interview Alhaji Ado Bayero, the respected Emir of Kano, who had insisted that I must be present.

When I saw Lamido Sanusi’s picture in the Nigerian press, I said to myself, that is a chip off the old block. May his reign be long! I still cherish the pictures and other artefacts, Emir Ado Bayero generously made available to me including “kudi mai.� I had met a group of Senegalese diplomats, who had visited to pay homage to the Emir. He insisted that we all see them off to the Kano airport. The rare Rolls Royce

An economist, Mr. Igbafe Roland, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch recently at Kaduna, cautioned the government on carefulness while sourcing new foreign loans, adding that it is sad that the country has continue to borrow funds to fund the economy despite huge revenue from gas and crude oil sale.

huge amount the country on a monthly basis realise from crude oil and gas sales, adding that the government should take steps to ensure that most of these loans do not end up in private pockets. The economist predicted that very soon

it was before the government of Obasanjo paid up previous foreign debts, lamenting that most of the sectors government claimed got the loans have not witness any meaningful turn around. According to him, “the breakdown of the loans showed that the water resources got N126.03 billion, Niger Delta region N50 billion and health N30.35 billion. How many Nigerians are drinking government water? Where are the hospitals that got the amount? Is Niger Delta region still not underdeveloped? The power sector that was said to get N452.12 billion and a host of other sectors have not witnessed the needed turn around despite government assurances. He said that it is wrong for the government to return the country to the league of high debts nations, few years after it celebrated debt-free status. Roland said, “Few years ago, Nigerians celebrated when the Federal Government # _ !

President Goodluck Jonathan country has re-entered the club of highly indebted countries.

he last have not been heard of the controversy surrounding the newly approved cement by Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) as the Nigerian Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers have lent its voice to its viability and durability as well as standardization. The president of the body, Mr. Monsuru Alapinni, while speaking to Saturday Newswatch, said the major problem with policies in the country is government’s dependence on bookworms rather products end users. “When the government wanted to embark on the approval of the new cement for the industry, how many bricklayers were invited? Sometimes, # !

A member of the bricklayers association, Mr. Lateef Ajani, while explaining his experience to Saturday Newswatch on the use of the new 3X of 42.5 brand said when used in plastering, the cement dries up before bricklayers smooth the wall, and in most cases, after the plastering, the wall cracks as the cement seems to contained some small particles showing that it was not well granulated. When asked if it is good for block laying and block molding, he said the SON approved cement hardens quicker and easily cracks when used for block molding. On the other hand, the old cement is soft and smooth, especially when used for plastering, and do not crack easily unlike the former. At the cement depot in Abule-Egba and U-Turn areas in Lagos, some sellers explained their experiences from the sales of the old and the new cement product. A distributor popularly called Alhaja said that the introduction of the new cement caught them unawares as they just got supplied with an increase in price. “Initially, we did not notice the ‚

the professionals in the construction Industry and endemic corruption in the system (country). A cursory look at the array of causes of building collapse peculiar to Nigeria will reveal that only two of the causes listed are overtly or covertly related to the usage of construction materials, while a visit to the scene of any collapsed building will reveal rubbles of concrete structural elements, and not cement of whatever grade. The logical inference from the incontrovertible facts is that

“misapplication or inappropriate application of cement in the production of concrete can be a plausible cause of building collapse, but not as a result of the choice of cement grade. That misapplication or inappropriate application of cement in the production of concrete in building constructions can be a cause of building collapse and that, it is misleading, erroneous and fallacious to assert that cement grade is a prime causative factor in the incessant collapse of buildings in Nigeria, when in fact there is no experimental basis for such an assertion.

ceremony that includes rapper Wyclef Jean and guitar virtuoso Carlos Santana. Shakira, who is making her third straight World Cup appearance, will sing “La la la (Brazil 2014)� with Brazilian star Carlinhos Brown, FIFA said in a statement on Wednesday. Santana, Wyclef and Brazilian singer Alexandre Pires will perform the & <

anthem, “Dar Um Jeito� at the legendary Maracana Stadium. Pires will also perform a medley of local music with Brazilian star Ivete Sangalo. “I’m thrilled to be performing my song ‘La la la (Brazil 2014)’ at the 2014 FIFA World Cup closing ceremony,� said Shakira, who had a son last year with Spain defender Gerard Pique. “I have an intricate

relationship with football for obvious reasons, and I truly understand what the World Cup means to so many people, myself included.� While FIFA announced the musical lineup, eight & #

two spots at the Maracana, but defending champions

Spain were already eliminated in the group phase. Shakira’s native Colombia played Brazil 6

Friday following FranceGermany. Today, Argentina play Belgium followed by Netherlands-Costa Rica.

T

he Netherlands has a great chance of making & 6

the 2014 World Cup when they take on Costa Rica at the Arena Fonte Nova, Salvador tonight. At this point in the World Cup, the Dutch know plenty about Costa Rica — once one of the surprise packages of the tournament. What they may not know is that Costa Rica’s Jorge Luis Pinto learned his coaching from the Dutchman who invented ‘total football’. Well-traveled Colombian coach Pinto studied at the University of Cologne QV’[

Dutch coach Rinus Michels was coaching the city’s Bundesliga club. “In those years I spent my time watching him training and talking to him,� Pinto said. “When I didn’t have class, I went to see the club practice. I saw many things and learned a lot.� Michels was a good teacher — a few years later he would lead the Netherlands to its one and only international ! QV’’

Championship, having pioneered the ‘total football’ approach — where players can change their positions during a game.

Can Netherlands end Costa Rica’s fairytale run?

Now Pinto aims to stop the Dutch taking another step

when his Costa Rica team meets the Netherlands on ^

at Salvador’s Arena Fonte Nova. It is not only Pinto who

knows the Dutch game well. Bryan Ruiz had a successful spell with FC Twente before joining Fulham and now plays at PSV Eindhoven alongside likely Netherlands starter Georginio Wijnaldum and super-sub Memphis Depay.

Zabaleta lauds Messi impact

P

ablo Zabaleta believes Argentina are lucky to have Lionel Messi, “the best player in the world�, representing them at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The Barcelona striker has long carried the hopes of the nation on his shoulders, and although he has previously struggled to cope with that pressure, his form at Brazil 2014 has helped lead the side 6 _ And, ahead of Saturday’s crunch lasteight clash, Zabaleta has spoken of his delight at having a player of Messi’s calibre representing the team. “We know he is our main player, our captain, the best player in the world,� Zabaleta said. “This team is playing for him as we know how important Messi is. We are so lucky to have Messi. “He has won four man of the match awards in a row. That is what we expect from him, always that the best player in the world will make the & !

and even more so when you see he is enjoying himself. “Every time we recover the ball we try to pass to him as he is

the best player we have in the team and he will score goals. “Messi has been one of the best players in the

world for many years and you always expect a lot of things from them, like Maradona many years ago,� he said.

The Hausa, on their part call it “masara�. Nigerians, over the years have learnt how to use corn to produce various kinds of menu. Some of the food products derived from corn are pap which the Yoruba call “ogi�, while the Ibo, Hausa and many Niger Delta nationalities refer to it as “akamu�. Dried corn is soaked in water, fermented, ground by machine and boiled to produced what is called ‘eko’ or ‘agidi’ among the Yoruba and the Ibo with some Niger Delta tribes respectively. Women in Northern Nigeria also soak and ground dried corn, to produce a popular corn menu known as “tuwo�. They also use it to produce what they call “abinshi masa� and other menu. Northern Nigerian women, mostly the ones from the North Central region, have mastered the art of using dried corn to produce what is popularly known as “guguru� which many Nigerians eat with dried groundnut.

Corn which is a seasonal food product is harvested in many parts of Nigeria between April and May and October to December of every year. Saturday Newswatch’s investigation showed that corn is eaten by many Nigerians to check hunger, as the #

adults eat it either boiled or roosted, or as agidi, akamu, adalu, guguru, tuo, abinshi, masa and others. Some old women of Isoko and Urhobo also pound dried corn with ‘eba’ to produce what is known as “eguoka�. Apart from women, other people who earn income from corn business are farmers, who grow the product sometimes with either cassava or yam. Transporters also earn income for

transporting the product from the farm to the towns and cities were demands are very high for the product. Refuse collectors also earn income as the cob and other waste products of maize are heavy and must be properly disposed. Man is not the only eater of corn, as birds, fowls and many other animals also depend on corn as their main source of food. %

herself as Mummy Nkechi in an interview with Saturday Newswatch, at Ketu, Lagos, disclosed that she makes about N5,000 from the sales of corn per day, adding that her children also hawk the product where they also earn additional income for the family. She said that corn sales have engaged her all through the year, as she reverts to selling of ‘agidi’ when there is no longer soft corn to roast or boil for her customers. Mummy Nkechi disclosed that corn sales have provided stable employment and income for her and her kids, adding that she does not see herself abandoning the trade for paid employment. A medical practitioner, Dr. Reuben Okolosi, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch disclosed that corn is a popular menu among Nigerians, because of the various ways it could be eaten. He said that the product although is more of carbohydrate, could be combined with other food products such as milk, beans, groundnut, coconut and various fruits to produce vitamins, protein and other vital ingredients the body requires to function well. Maize could be planted in any

months, produce corn which has become the main source of food and income for many Nigerians, as there is no part of the country where the product is not grow and sold. However, the waste product of the corn could become refuse, which if not properly and promptly disposed could become a source of environmental problem for people who reside in the vicinity where the waste is left. When next you are broke, corn which some Nigerians referred to as “ mouth organ� is the cheapest way to combat ! & _ Maize cultivation could become a part of family farming which many agricultural experts say it is a panacea for hunger reduction in Nigeria. Any Nigerian who owns a piece of land either at his backyard or elsewhere can cultivate corn in it, since the process is very easy. The origin of maize in Nigeria could not be traced, but history has it that the product has been in the country for ages. It was also discovered that corn consumption which is found all over Africa has saved many families from starvation.

It is also a known fact that Borno State, especially Maiduguri, has become a stronghold of the insurgents, making it a no-go- area for many people. However, in spite of the dangers the area pose, some organisations recently undertook an on-the-spot assessment of the situation in the volatile region so as to assess the real root cause of the problems. At a forum tagged ‘The abduction of the Chibok School Girls: On the Spot Assessment Report’ organised by Vision Spring Initiative, Echoes of Women

in Africa Initiatives, Urgent Action Fund, Network on Police Reform in Nigeria (NOPRIN) and West African Network for Peace Building (WANEP), the groups reported that their on-the-spot assessment of the situation in Chibok, Maiduguri and other neighbouring villages revealed several factors which has contributed to the continued onslaught of

Louisa Eikhomun of the Echoes of Women in Africa reported that lack of government’s presence in terms of infrastructural development is one major problem facing the people in the area. “The people are not sure of what could happen to them every day. We found out that government have not done anything for these people. Development is far from them. Even in Maiduguri, the state capital, the situation

have abandoned their homes and jump from one hotel to another. Government is very far from the people,� she said. She added: “We met some girls who were forced to marry. Some parents told us that a member of the Boko Haram sect only need to approach a parent and told him or her that he wants to marry her daughter. If the parents refuse, the member would mobilise his fellow

members the next day and storm the girl’s parent’s house, burn the house and forcefully take the girl away. So to avoid being dealt with, many parents reluctantly give out their daughters to some of the Boko Haram members whenever such member approached them. A parent dare not refuse or else, he would be killed. “The people are disillusioned. They live in fear, but they have nowhere to go. The place is their home. They are always very suspicious of visitors. No one knows whose turn it would be to die the next day.� Louisa further said the situation has made some parents in the area to decide

not to send their children to school, thereby defeating the government‘s goal of girl-child education, most especially in the northern region. “Feedback from parents of the abducted girls indicates that they have lost faith in the present leadership, and have taken a stand not to send their girl-children to school. Even if they stated otherwise, almost all schools in the community and its environs have been razed to the ground by the militant group.

Diplomatic gains in Nigeria’s maritime security Innocent Ebirim(NAN)

I

n the diplomatic circle, several parameters are used to assess a nation’s diplomatic strength, but one of the tools which is contextually applicable is the ability of a nation to prevent international sanction and #

#

actors in the international scene. The International Maritime Organisation, (IMO) had in a Diplomatic Conference in December 2002, amended the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS) with the adoption of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPSC) as a precautionary measure against

VĂ‘QQ =

From the beginning, the ISPS Code was established as an international

& = # &

domain from the threat of terrorism. | ! †;Œ

the 9/11 episode to occur in any marine domain in any country. The ISPS Code is therefore, a proactive measure against such occurrence. All IMO contracting governments were mandated to abide by the requirements of the ISPSC in its maritime domain from July 2004, and Nigeria, as one of the members of IMO was expected to comply accordingly. Hitherto, the Obasanjo administration had domiciled the implementation of this code in the now moribund | †& & ? &&

on Maritime Safety and Security, (PICOMSS). The establishment of PICOMSS as an ad hoc body met the IMO deadline, and Nigeria was given a & =

_

Nigeria was alarmed with a threat by the United States Coast Guard in a document titled, US Diplomatic Note on Nigerian Government to fully implement the ISPS Code within 90 days or face international sanction from the American Government and its allies in the shipping domain. The American Government had threatened to stop its ships and those of its allies from berthing at Nigerian ports if the Code was not substantially complied with in the country. The threat and ultimatum was issued after the study of the dismal nature of Nigerian’s Maritime Security

by the United States Coast Guard, which gave a damning verdict in its preliminary report, and that was before NIMASA was named the ISPS Code Focal Point. This gingered the Federal Government of Nigeria into action which dismantled PICOMSS and named Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) in May, 2013 as the designated authority for the full implementation and governance of the Code with the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Transport. The good and cheering news is that at the expiration of the 90-day ultimatum, the United States Coast @ & # = $

Business News FG commends Chinese investor’s interest in steel plant

T

he Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Amb Abdulkadir Musa, has commended PAN Steel Corporation of China for taking advantage of Nigeria Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP) to invest a $5 billion new steel plant in Nigeria. He stated this during a courtesy visit by the president of the PAN Steel Group Corporation, China, Mr. Hang Dade, to the ministry’s headquarters in Abuja. The permanent secretary, who represented the Honourable Minister, Olusegun Aganga, at the occasion, said that NIRP has made steel central in the industrialisation process of the country which is aimed at addressing the issue of manufacturing sector in Nigeria. “The intention is to give boost to industrialisation in Nigeria, especially in the manufacturing sector, create employment among Nigerians and reduce our import bills based on the products we could have produce in the country.� He added, “Steel Industry in Nigeria is quite open and transparent, and we welcome people who want to participate in the development of steel in Nigeria.� Abdulkadir said that government has endorsed legislation in the National Assembly to empower entrepreneurs, and protect their investments in the country, adding that leading manufacturers in the automobile industry have come

&

embrace Federal government’s auto policy. “NISSAN has started production, and not quite long ago we were riding Chinese automobiles in the country while others will roll out before the end of the year.� He expressed delight that the law of the country has made it possible for an investor to own the industry 100 percent. “You are allowed to install a company and own it 100 percent, and Nigeria is the focal market, so whoever stays here to produce will not only produce for 167 million Nigerians, but the entire West African market� Earlier, the President, PAN Steel Group Corporation, China, had pointed out that Nigeria had good investment environment which had prompted them to decide to invest $5 billion for new steel plant that will produce 4-5 million metric tons per annum. “Nigeria has the biggest population, very good investment environment, rich natural resources, and coming to Nigeria is our priority regarding selection of steel plant designation in Africa. > &

EFCC, ICPC clamp down on procurement fraudsters For violating rules laid down in the Public Procurement Act, 2007, the anti – corruption agencies are on the heels of about 150 organisations and Federal Government ministries, departments and agencies. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

Ezeh said, “As we speak, about 150 organisations, including private companies, ministries, departments and agencies as well as 200 persons are being investigated for various infractions of the Procurement Act.� Speaking about the probe recently, the Secretary to the Federal Government of the Federation, Senator Pius Anyim, said that & <

He commended the BPP for driving the process of professionalising procurement in the nation’s public service, adding that though the process was fraught with several challenges, the reward is immense.

this department, buying palatial homes in highbrow areas and driving state of the art cars which their legitimate income cannot _4 She stressed that their prosecution if thoroughly carried out will serve as deterrent to others, and a sign that government has woken from its slumber as the practice has been with us for years, adding that corruption is the reason many government’s capital projects are abandoned after contractors have been mobilised. Another respondent, Mr. Ikechukwu Uduneje, who works in one of the Federal Government’s agency in Lagos, said that there is nothing to celebrate as the 150 companies and individuals undergoing prosecution are small fries who EFCC and ICPC want to use as scapegoats as many civil servants and companies are known to have engaged in the crime. Uduneje disclosed that many civil servants are known to collude with contractors, consultants and suppliers to milk the country dry, adding that though their prosecution is coming very late, it is a good development as the country has been robbed of billions of naira in the past by & < _ He appealed to government to award its contracts to competent contractors who will not bolt after collecting mobilisation fees, &

excuses. He called on EFCC and ICPC not to let the case go the way of many cases that are tried only in the media, but do not see the light of the day in the courts. According to him, Nigerians are watching to see how far EFCC and ICPC will go in this case. At the end of the day, Nigerians will like to know how many of the 150 ;`% ! & &

and how many people out of the 200 are punished for this crime. Many Nigerians are of the view that the country has remained underdeveloped because many civil servants have cornered funds government would have used for infrastructural development of the country, by conniving with greedy contractors to defraud the country. They called on EFCC and ICPC to ensure the case is prosecuted to its logical conclusion, adding that how the case is concluded will prove to Nigerians how

corruption. It is hoped that the prosecution will serve as a warning to civil servants who took pleasure in violating the Procurement Act, thereby enriching themselves to the detriment of the country. The questions many Nigerians are asking are how far can government go to bring & < # =_ %

why do civil servants lobby to be posted to the accounts, procurement, stores, pension and some other juicy departments, and shun being posted to departments where they will not be involved with funds. Analysts are calling on the professional body to which procurement workers belong, to call their members to order, as the activities of some of their members are impacting negatively on the country’s economic development.

South Korea has a technologically advanced transport network consisting of high-speed railways, highways, bus routes, ferry services, and air routes that criss-cross the country. Korea Expressway Corporation operates the toll highways and service amenities en route. South Korea’s largest airport, Incheon International Airport, was completed in 2001. By 2007, it was serving 30 million passengers a year. Other international airports include Gimpo, Busan and Jeju. There are also seven domestic airports, and a large number of heliports. ^ ‘ 6 largest nuclear power producer and the second-largest in Asia as of 2010. Nuclear power in South Korea supplies 45% of electricity production, and research is very active with investigation into a variety of advanced reactors, including a small modular reactor, a liquid-metal fast/ transmutation reactor and a hightemperature hydrogen generation design. Fuel production and waste handling technologies have also been developed locally. It is also a member of the ITER project. South Korea is an emerging exporter of nuclear reactors, having concluded agreements with the UAE to build and maintain four advanced nuclear reactors, with Jordan for a research nuclear reactor, and with Argentina for construction and repair of heavy-water nuclear reactors. As of 2010, South Korea and Turkey are in negotiations regarding construction of two nuclear reactors. South Korea is also preparing to bid on construction of a light-water nuclear reactor for Argentina. South Korea is not allowed to enrich uranium or develop traditional uranium enrichment technology on its own, because of US political pressure, unlike most major nuclear powers such as Japan, Germany, and France, competitors of South Korea in the international nuclear market. This impediment to South Korea’s indigenous nuclear industrial undertaking has sparked occasional diplomatic rows between the two allies. While South Korea is successful in exporting its electricity-generating nuclear technology and nuclear reactors, it cannot capitalize on the market for nuclear enrichment

it from further expanding its export niche. South Korea has sought unique technologies such as pyroprocessing to circumvent these obstacles and seek a more advantageous competition. The US has recently been wary of South Korea’s burgeoning nuclear program, which South Korea insists will be for civilian use only. Tourism In 2012, 11.1 million foreign tourists visited South Korea, making it the 20th most visited country in the world, up from 8.5 million in 2010. Most foreign tourists come from Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. The recent popularity of Korean popular culture, often known as the “Korean waveâ€?, has increased tourist arrivals from other parts of the world.

When we came in 2011, all the communities in Obowo were in darkness. Take, for instance, my own community, Umuokeh. The transformer we had was the one installed in 1983 under the Mbakwe administration. The next community, Umulogho, has the same story.

Edo Assembly crises:Our crime is leaving APC to PDP – Osayimwen Hon. Patrick Osayimwen, representing Oredo East Constituency in Edo State Assembly, is one of the lawmakers who defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Assembly. During an interview with THANKGOD OFOELUE, Osayimwen revealed the antics and plans of the governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to “deal� with him and others. Excerpts.

W

hy did you leave the APC for the PDP? I left the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), not the APC. My spirit left the ACN about two years ago. I represent the Oredo East Constituency, which is the heart of Benin. Some of us spoke against the Land Use Bill that was signed into law in November, 2012. I know that for every society to progress the people need to pay tax but people must see evidences of the tax at work for them to be encouraged to cooperate. When the Land Use Bill came up, we felt the people should be carried along and that there should be a public hearing. I mean, people ought to know what they are paying for and why they are paying. In the case of the Land Use Act, the process was discriminatory. There is nothing wrong in taxing the rich to pay the poor but it should cut across the 18 local governments. Some of us had reservations about these things but our grievances were not looked into. Hardly had we left the assembly than the tape of the debate was sent to Government House. That was very unfortunate for a parliament, because I believe a parliament should be independent. Less than a week after that, the party constituted a committee to try us for gross misconduct and anti-party activity. They forgot that the only place a legislator has immunity is on +

" thing you said there cannot be used against you. They set up &&

Œ ‹ % 6 General of the state. How & = #

for speaking the mind of his people? The report, however, never came out because the people told them that what they did was wrong. Are you saying that the Assembly is biased against some members like you? Yes! They started to discriminate against us. Because we speak with objectivity; they stripped us of our status as ranking legislators who were

on second term in the assembly. We were even treated like minority members, though we were founding members of the party in the assembly. That # ~[ & _ &

June 2007 to November 2008 when Oshiomhole won the governorship case at the Appeal Court, we were only eight legislators who were in the Action Congress. We tried to resolve the issue, but they kept dragging it to the governor. Then they started the blackmail that we were planning to impeach the speaker, deputy governor and the governor. That impeachment is one of the grouses the Assembly has against your group. What proof do you have that you never planned to impeach the governor or the Speaker? Look, I once told the governor to let anyone come out to say Hon. Patrick Osayemwen or anyone among us met them to sign an impeachment paper on the governor. So, it was very funny to hear people say we want to impeach the speaker or the governor. The Edo State parliament became a place where you cannot express yourself. It got to a level that whatever you said will be reported to the governor so as to give the impression that one is anti-Oshiomhole. However, it is my duty to let him know the vibes of the people. At that point, my spirit left the party, ACN. By the time we got to the congress, it was already in a mess as it was clear that they didn’t want some of us in the party. So, we saw that it was time to leave. We saw that it was the right thing to do to move on. You cannot force yourself to stay in a place you are not wanted. Let’s not deceive ourselves; there has been a lot of factional crisis within this party in Edo State since the past two or three years. There is the ESM that is perceived as the governor’s faction. It is well established that there is a Pastor Osagie †‹ 6† & _ $ &

much the members pretend, everyone was tagged with one faction or the other. I can remember that the governor

Osayimwen called us for a meeting that was held at about 7:00pm on May 12, 2014. He said some of us were trying to leave the party. I went to that meeting with Hon Jude Ise-Idehen. We explained to him that we respect him as a friend but we had seen that we were no longer wanted in the party and that we wanted to move on. We assured him that we will continue to support his government to develop the state. We told him that nobody was trying to impeach him and that we will never be party to such a plot. He tried to appeal to us not to leave with promises to redress our grievances. We told him that it was not about money or anything but that it was about principle. Unfortunately for the governor, he was surprised to see that there are still some principled men in the political

We have done nothing wrong, morally or illegally. The only crime we committed was to opt out of the APC merger and join the PDP. You will agree with me that is our right. The constitution says where there is a merger, a member of can opt out

and I have not asked for a kobo. If I wanted to collect money, it would have been from comrade. That is where the Comrade governor got it wrong. Unfortunately, they started making insinuations that we had collected N50 million from the PDP and making up stories in the newspapers. Because of my respect for the governor, I remained silent. However, when I saw the governor on TV saying that we collected N50 million, I felt that was quite irresponsible. The governor tried to incite the people against us. I then said if anything happens to my family or me, Governor Oshiomhole should be held responsible since he has incited the public against me. He also repeated the same thing last week though we explained the entire story to him. What about the series of allegations spewing against your faction? We have done nothing wrong, morally or illegally. The only & &&

opt out of the APC merger and join the PDP. You will agree with me that it is our right. The constitution says where there is a merger, a member of can opt out. In this state, when comrade became governor, out of the 18 local government chairmen, 10 left the PDP to join the ACN. Only this year, a councillor in Etsako Central decamped to the APC and heaven did not fall. A member of the House, who won election on the platform of the PDP, Hon. Edoror, from Irrua, joined the ACN. Now, because we have exercised our free will, the only way is to discredit us. I want to say that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. I’m a contented human being and money does not necessarily make me happy. I learnt that in my early age. I need to come out and clarify these things because the Comrade Gover-

nor has presented an incorrect account. When it became clear that there were plans to declare our seats vacant, the only option we had was to seek redress from court. We approached the court and the court ordered that our seats should not be declared vacant and that we should not be suspended. However, the Monday after we got this judgment that was # "

Court, thugs barricaded the Ring Road with banners and posters that we have collected money. They also demanded that we must resign. What a cheap blackmail. After seeing that the court has ordered them not to declare our seats vacant, they now went through the back door to suspend us _ †

& = !

you not declared his seat vacant? That is what we have been going through. However, I want to tell the people of my constituency and the entire people of Edo State that I was & #

PDP neither have I received a kobo from the PDP. That is the position of things.

Boko Haram menace, self inflicted Continued from Page 17

Some people said the invitation given to the foreign security apparatus is an indirect way of paving the way for external forces to invade this country. What do you have to say on this? What America and other allies want to do is to give us intelligence report. They have more sophisticated intelligence instruments to trace the whereabouts of these children. If that is the case I will support it 100 per cent. Since most of them are not deploying more than 200 soldiers which is not up to a company, there is nothing to fear. I think Nigerians are fully aware of America’s intervention in other countries which are never the same again. Countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan and of course Libya are in a sorry state today. Would you advise the Federal Government to inject more money into the military operation? Well, it depends. The Nigerian situation is unfortunate; we are not only talking of the Boko Haram & _

rustlers is also there staring us in the face. Today, you hear # Ă‘ & _

Many people are easily killed in the North West, North Central these days. Ideally, each state of the federation needs to have at least three police helicopters. If we have these helicopters with some patrolling state borders, all these insurgents will reduce drastically because it is only in the air you can police the terrain to know exactly where criminals are.

If you don’t know how to pleasure a woman orally, ask and allow her hands to guide you. Timing should be synchronized perfectly. The most important element for incredible lovemaking must be oral foreplay. The connection creates sparks of electricity. Move your hands through your partner’s hair while one is performing an oral act. Indulge in caressing and kissing before you mate. At this point, your partner should be completely relaxed and excited, and then, we’re talking long nights of passion. Eye -to- Contact Maintain eye contact all the time, go the extra mile for tender and slow lovemaking. The connection removes all inhibitions and hesitancy. Eye contact during oral sex makes the coupling intimate and exciting. It

When we start dating someone, the passion and lust is always intense, but as love grows, the intimate passion for each other may actually start reducing over the years. Find out how you can rekindle the passion in a long-term relationship. Cuddling After This is one very important to-do for the male performer as most girls are already aware of it. When you make love to a woman you love, she feels more loved and adored if you stay awake to cuddle and talk to her after the whole episode. She likes to snuggle and speak about how wonderful she feels. You can also reveal and review how you feel and what your most favorite moves on bed were. Everybody loves being appreciated. You can also discuss about another session in the near future. This makes your partner feel more wanted and desired. Nurturing and loving relationships last longer, and are happier. It’s a fact.

That night, he took my mom for a walk after dinner, and as they passed the shop, he casually said, “Let’s go inside and look at rings.� The jeweler brought out a tray of rings within my father’s price range, and Dad told my mom she could pick out any one she liked - Tonye Some do, but you don’t have to. I think that most girls give their boyfriends hints as to what type of ring they like/want when they happen to pass by a jewelry store. You can do that if your boyfriend is good at - Tonia I sent my then boyfriend links for the type of ring that I wanted. He doesn’t go shopping with me - Mariam The guy may press you about styles and gems that you like, and may not get anything you said. Like my guy, he knew I wanted just silver with the tiniest gem possible, and it didn’t have to be a diamond as I’m not a fan, really. So what did he do? He got me a white gold .7 (I think) carat diamond stunner. I absolutely love it, though. It’s gorgeous, and I’m glad that he didn’t listen to me. I’m not saying that all girls end up like this, but just be aware that some guys don’t listen to you when it comes to the style, and for this, maybe you should go together, just in case. If you trust him to

do it on his own, then so be it. Every couple - Omonigho A lot of men knows their women want a surprise, so they pick the ring. Then again, a lot of men know their women are picky, and they take them along to get the ring, to ensure it is the perfect piece. It just depends on the couple. Personally, I trust my man’s taste, and he knows what I want (and my ring size from previous jewelry purchases) and if it ever comes to engagement, I’d prefer it to be a surprise - Bunmi It depends on the couple. For some, the guy decides without consultation. For some, the man and woman talk about her favourite styles, and go into the jewelry store to take a look beforehand, and then the guy goes alone to choose. For some, they go together after the proposal to choose. | ! & ä † = # &

favourite styles, and then he designed my ring himself - Chinyere I wouldn’t go. I like the idea of an engagement being a surprise. If you go to pick out an engagement ring together, well you already know what the ring looks like, and you know that the guy will propose, so that really takes out the surprise. I just think that the guy surprising the girl with a proposal, and giving her the ring he picked out just for her would make the occasion much more special. But that’s the romantic part of me. Unless the guy proposes to the girl without the rings then takes her afterwards to get the engagement ring, then I can see a couple going together that way Hajara

to believe that nobody saw the deceased soon after he had drowned. The family, therefore, raised some posers, asking, among others, why the life guards were not at their duty post to monitor the swimming pool as expected of them. They also asked why the Police reopened the swimming pool, and why nobody has been prosecuted. The family, therefore, urged the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, to order a full Coroner’s Inquest for the purpose of resolving the grey areas, “and charge all those found culpable to court.�

Dear Sir, SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF CITIZEN CHRISTOPHER AWIN: CASE OF CULPABLE HOMICIDE AGAINST AGURA HOTELS AND MEMBERS OF ITS STAFF We are solicitors to Madam Esther Ebiere Gbonkumor and the entire Awin Family. They have briefed us as follows: That on 7th June, 2014, their son, Mr. Christopher Onoriode Akpomowei Awin, a 31-year old Nigerian citizen, was invited to a picnic by the Ijaw Students’ Association of the University of Abuja as part of the celebration of their cultural week. That picnic held at Agura Hotels in Abuja. We were informed that sometime at about 4:00pm, the picnic came to an end and all the members of the Association left for the University of Abuja Campus and their various residences in Gwagwalada, Abuja. However, Mr. Christopher Awin stayed behind for some swimming exercise. However, in a most bizarre twist of events, Mr. Christopher Awin was found drowned to death in the swimming pool of % " # X“[[ & <

kwa United technical adviser, Patrick Udoh has admitted that his wards deliberately gave out the Federation Cup round of 64 tie to their opponents, FC Abuja. The Promise Keepers were beaten 2-1 by the lower division side in Thursday’s Cup game in Enugu. Udoh said his charges did not bring in any form of seriousness into the match suggestive that right from the word go they never wanted to win the encounter. “We got a penalty that would have enabled us to level score but we lost it while our opponents got theirs and made perfect use of it and won the game. “It was an upset and a bad one. The players brought lacklustre attitude into the

game and it showed in their approach and execution of the game. “I think the players gave the game away, we lost it ourselves and have no other person but ourselves to blame. “We don’t have excuses, they played as if nothing was at stake, no seriousness or willingness to play the game,� said Udoh to supersport.com. Udoh said the side ouster from the Federation Cup may be a blessing in disguise as it will offer the Glo Premier League side the opportunity to prepare for the restart of the second stanza of the league. “I think our elimination from the Federation Cup may turn out to be a blessing in disguise as it provides
