many proposals to the government where he put forward many things to be done to promote

G

various aspects of our culture. According to him, governments should harness resources and put them together, adding “When people are brought together through tourism, revenue will be generated in the process.� He commended the government of Oyo state for the peace in the state, stressing “TARMAC festival is organised to share values of arts and culture in an atmosphere of peace made possible by the responsible and responsive administration of Governor Abiola Ajimobi.� Olatubosun also

praised to the Oyo State Tourism Board in widening the scope of tourism value as a means of generating income as well as bringing about healthy living among our people. Highlights of the festival included the entertainment of the guests with talking drum by a 14-year- old girl, Miss Ayandamilola Iyanda Lawal from Ilora near Oyo town. Ayandamilola commended the organisers of the festival for their initiatives, adding that she was impressed that female drummers were invited to the programme.

At some points, some of the people complained of not seeing their names on the register despite the temporary voter’s card issued to them during the registration exercise. Some people complained of scorching sun as they could not wait in the sun for the long process of searching for their names on the registers and the PVC. However, Governor Ibikunle Amosun who applied for the transfer of his PVC from Owu Central Primary School in Abeokuta North Local Government Area to St. John Anglican Primary School, Ajura, Obafemi/Owode Local Government Area collected it during the exercise. He expressed displeasure with the slow process of distributing the cards which he observed could lead disenfranchisement of many. Nike Osoba, a state Assembly aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress(APC) stated that the three days set aside for the distribution were not enough, and called for the extension of the exercise. Resident Electoral Commissioner, Sam = '

the commission experienced some hitches but disclosed that they had been resolved. He declared that before the Commission could think

\

complete the ongoing exercise and assess it.

he Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Oyo State chapter, Kehinde Salawu, has said that all aggrieved aspirants of the party have the right to petition the Head Quarters of the party as regards last Saturday’s ward congress in the state. ^

Newswatch Times that the results of the ward congress would be out as soon as the Head Quarters give the go ahead. Meanwhile, Senator Ayo Adeseun, in his petition to the appeal

the state party chairman’s claim of peaceful conduct of last Saturday’s ward congress was false, adding that “the congress is invalid, dubious and did not represent the true picture of what happened in the state� He said that when violence broke out at the party secretariat, the Police were called in to teargas the hoodlums who stormed the venue and later restored law and order, adding that “no member of the three

CBN adds interest rates to policy tools Abiodun Awogbemi

T

he Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has added the use of interest rates to its policy tools. The bank in a circular stated that banks and discount houses will henceforth only be paid the 10 percent interest rate on !” ˆ

suspicious that they will have limited impact. CBN data has shown that the growth in Deposit Money Banks (DMBs’) total credit other than to the Federal Government but including state governments accelerated from …… ” “

December 2013 to 30.1 percent in June 2014. The economy is growing at more than 6% per year, and

The CBN has traditionally favoured moral suasion as

"

intermediation and inclusion. Operators said they do not see much further acceleration for several reasons. Firstly, since the twin bank bailouts of 2009, the CBN has tightened its regulation of the industry beyond recognition. Secondly, the banks have not developed the skill-sets to lend across the economy. In their defense, we would say that the number of viable credit proposals is fewer than the regulator thinks. Thirdly, the banks are more comfortable buying govenment’s paper yielding 12 percent to 13 percent than lending to borderline credits at more than 20 percent.

The ‘wisdom’ of Tambuwal

T

uesday, October 28, 2014, brought to a close speculations by all and sundry about the political leaning and possible defection of the honourable Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Bello Tambuwal. On this day, he announced, in what looked like an afterthought that he had cross carpeted from the party that gave him mandate, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). The announcement portrayed the distinguished speaker as a ‘wise’ man who knows what he was doing; who knows he was engaged in illegality and who wishes to escape the reaction of legality. Consequently, he made the announcement after all protocols have been taken, adjournment moved and businesses closed. So, no one could challenge his pronouncement, and with a smile of triumph, he left the hallowed chamber, hoping to return on December 3, the date he X \ " From the way everything happened, a lot of things point to the fact that the honourable speaker planned to heat up the polity, being in full knowledge that actions and counter actions will trail his announcement.

The problem from my point of view was not that he defected; of course everyone knows he was going to defect including PDP and APC members, but doing it in a ""

cause chaos. That was wrong, especially for

‘progressives’ long before now in the belief

good example, and many right thinking people would have followed him (not political apologists). It is not too late for him to do the right thing; there is no wisdom in playing politricks. @

populace, who had been at the receiving end of everything negative in this country since the emergence of civil rule. Tambuwal had all the opportunity to make an angel of the Q7 "

was wisdom; a wisdom that sets one against another is nothing but foolishness. And please, we have had lots of wise-foolishness in this dispensation. Elders should behave like elders so that children can rightly call them elders. A word is enough for the wise!

Search for technocrat as senator By Aaron Ukodie

T

he entry of Dr. Ernest Ndukwe into the senatorial fray of his home state, Anambra, on the platform of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), is a heart-warming proposition. He wants to represent the people of Anambra South Senatorial district. Ndukwe is the chairman of Open Media and former Executive Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Communication Commissions (NCC). He is also the Vice Chairman of the Nigerian Broadband Commission, and currently serves as a member

! Â 7 7

well as heads the Centre for Infrastructure Policy, Regulation and Advancement (CIPRA) at the Lagos Business School. He would be pitched against Senator Andy Uba, who would be contesting on the platform of the People Democratic Party (PDP) at the February 2015 polls. Put on the scale of capacity, integrity, value

contributions to national development, Ndukwe towers. No doubt, Ndukwe’s triumph at the polls would bring more dividends to the people of Anambra South, the entire Anambra State and the country at large, given his antecedents in

"

seemingly complex situations and hitherto uncharted routes. In him, the Anambra South people are sure to have a cerebral and quality representation that is sure to bring them pride and much dividends. The value in terms of debates, ideas creation and management of the whole senate’s value chain that his presence would bring to the senate is imaginable. His presence in the senate would add to the list of equally mature, urbane and truly Nigerian in vision and focus that people

like David Mark, Udoma Egba, Ayogu Eze, etc. already represented in the seventh Senate. Ndukwe is coming into the Nigerian political scene at a time when several Nigerians have been calling for men and women of substance and —

" —

men who are God -fearing who should come to the National Assembly not because of what they could get from it, but what they could give back to Nigerians and the country. This is what Nigeria deserves. We have had enough of people, who due to the lack of interest of men of good will to step

day in desecrating our common good sense and sensibilities. Ndukwe is coming from the ICT sector that

has modeled for Nigerians the collective aspiration for good corporate governance and transparency in business transactions and policy implementation processes. Interestingly, Ndukwe

ideals and milestones. Interestingly too, one of the players in the ICT sector in the days when its growth path was charted, Chief Sylvester Okonkwo, is also seeking to come into the senate to join Ndukwe, and others such as Mark, Chief Godswill Akpabio, who came from that sector and have excelled in politics and good governance. Okonkwo is contesting on the platform of PDP to represent the people of Anambra Central.

Ebola and plight of women

She had treated infected people before her death and the burial rites including the washing of her corpse for burial led to widespread dissemination of infections in women from neighbouring towns. Ebola, also known as the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) or Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever (EHF), is a disease that infects humans and other animals, which is caused by an Ebola virus. Signs and symptoms of this disease are usually characterised by fatigue, fever, headaches, joint pain, muscle aches, abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhoea and loss of appetite. The less common symptoms include skin rash, sore throat, chest pain, hiccups, shortness of breath and painful swallowing. The average time between coming in contact with infection and the start of symptoms (incubation period) is 8 to 10 days, but it can vary between 2 and 21 days. In approximately half of the cases, bleeding from the mucous membranes and body

present situation, the cases of Ebola and deaths in women come with huge tolls like widower-hood, motherlessness, and the loss of primary source of family income in certain instances. On a good note, the responses of the Nigerian government and healthcare workers involved in the case management and contact tracing of the situation in Nigeria was heart-warming. The rapidity of implementation of

actions, the observation of all primary and secondary contacts for signs of infection, the level of management and escalation of surveillance at all entry points to the country and the logistics involved were huge but wellcoordinated. As at October 2, 2014, all contacts of the Ebola cases in Nigeria have exited follow-ups successfully. A total of 20 persons were infected and eight deaths occurred. The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention through its director, Dr. Tom Frieden, had praised Nigeria’s response. As we celebrate our “freedom� from this “out of control� disease, it is indeed time =

recommended by the WHO is the education of the general public of the risk factors for Ebola infection and of the protective measures individuals can take. These include avoiding direct contact with infected people and regular hand-washing, using soap and water. Bush meat, an important source of protein in the diet of some Africans, should be handled with appropriate protective clothing and thoroughly cooked before consumption. Other than increased surveillance at the country’s borders, the Nigerian government states

control the spread of disease through an improvement in tracking, provision of appropriate health education to avert myths and misinformation, and the teaching of appropriate hygiene measures. This is encouraging. Since the cardinal role of women have been emphasised in past epidemics, adequate preparation of women and the girl-child for the future needs to focus on the following points; Firstly, focused group education sessions that target women and the girl child should be developed in parallel with potential treatment options. Secondly, health education sessions should focus on early recognition of malaria and other febrile conditions, and all cases of fever should be taken as potentially fatal until proven otherwise. As such, early hospitalisation should be sought for all such conditions. Thirdly, current cultural practices elsewhere - like the drinking of water used to bath a corpse as a means of proving innocence should be done away with as this predisposes individuals to risk of infection with a pathogen like Ebola virus. Such cultural practices must be reformed in line with the current realities. Lastly, all deaths "

and any form of direct contact with a corpse, until proven to be safe, should be avoided. Educate the woman and save a household! ! " " # $%

Buhari and politics of fear mongering By Sufuyan Ojeifo

Continued from last week In reality, what does Buhari’s “another four years of PDP will send this country down the drain� mean? Nigerians are intelligent beings, and can fact-check things for themselves. š Q*Q ~ˆ

years, in which time the country has witnessed many positive changes. To be clear, nobody is saying Nigeria has reached the state of Utopia; but then, again, which country can be said to have reached Utopia? However, the many positive changes that Nigeria

has witnessed under the PDP include tremendous growth in the areas of telecommunications, agriculture, women empowerment, and perhaps, most importantly, freedom of democratic expression. It is this freedom of democratic expression that allows Buhari to go around making unguarded statements aimed at stoking anger against the government of the day, something which Buhari, the military dictator, would never have tolerated. +

"

let us recall that Buhari is one of the very few Nigerians who have had the

privilege of ruling Nigeria in the past. ] €

indeed, a former military dictator who truncated the democratically elected government of President Shehu Shagari in 1983. Let us remember that Buhari’s Decree No. 4 remains one of the most draconian laws against press freedom that the entire world has ever seen. And let us never forget that Buhari’s regime incarcerated many Nigerians, including former Vice President, Alex Ekwueme, for a very long of time without trial. So, if today, as is the case, retired | ` €

who appears negatively rigid and

"

#

service as Nigeria’s democratically elected president, and he seeks to achieve this feat through the misguided politics of fear mongering, intimidation and outright blackmail, Nigerians have the right to look him in the face and say, “Thanks, but no thanks, General! We’ve seen your style before. It did us no good then, and it would do us no good now.� Ojeifo wrote in from Abuja.

LG autonomy: Panacea for economic development, business growth? The problem of governance at the local government level has been a recurring decimal in the political history of Nigeria. Over the years, efforts have been made to democratise local government and make it more responsive to the needs of the people. While succor seems to have come for those who are agitating for its autonomy, some see it as a dangerous step that will impact negatively on the economy and the business sector, ABIODUN AWOGBEMI writes.

local government administration in the country. He said many may argue about the constitutional provision of joint account operation between the local and state government as a safety valve. This was a mechanism put in place to check the menace of public funds pilfering and ensure accountability and probity. However, this mechanism has since lost out to the creativity of governors who take advantage of a poor and obsolete

"

logic, common sense and patriotism. Governors have over time, perfected the art of muscling the local governments, using their supervisory role to usurp the powers of the councils. Funds meant for developmental projects of local governments have been turned into some sort of slush funds with which the " \

The 1999 constitution compounded the problem by giving governors enormous windows to retard the local system by refusing to give it the free hand to operate.

Some that needed functional schools end up with badly constructed housing estates which contracts were shared to loyal followers of the governor, even when it is obvious that they lack the capacity to perform credibly. To add salt to injury, such houses always ended up in the hands of the governor’s loyalists and hangers on.

This will, in no small measure enhance growth and productivity in the grassroots, which in turn would address the rising growth of poverty and general insecurity in the country. Strengthening the democratic process in the local government would also address the poor electoral process that always fail to meet the minimum standard of democracy.

Doping controls included testing for all prohibited substances and methods listed in the WADA Prohibited List. As part of its zerotolerance policy against doping, the IOC is storing samples collected during the Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games for 10 years to conduct further analysis should new fully validated tests to detect new prohibited substances/methods become available.

Why I’m not keen on Nollywood marriage – Mercy Aigbe-Gentry

Feminine story

Newswatch Times, Saturday, November 8, 2014

Why I refuse to flirt with politicians – Lagos lawmaker, Omowunmi Olatunji-Edet Honourable Omowunmi Olatunji-Edet is one of the stylish female politicians in the Lagos State House of Assembly. Regarded as the Assembly’s beauty queen, Omowunmi Olatunji-Edet had a chat with PATRICK OKOHUE and FUNSHO AKINWALE, and she opened up on life as a female politician, especially issues of sexual harassment. She sensationally revealed that indeed she is officially divorced from her husband. Any plans to remarry? The Chairman, House Committee on Establishment, Training, Pension and Public Service did not mince words about her heart’s desire. Excerpts:

C

an we know more about you? I am Omowunmi Olatunji-Edet; I was born on August 15, 1973 at No. 3 Olopade Street on Lagos Island. I grew up in that area; later my father was transferred to Benin in Edo State, where I had half of my primary education before we relocated to Akure, Ondo State. My parents are from Akure. I had my first basic education in the town and later continued at St. Louis Girls Grammar School. After secondary education, I was admitted to Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State. And because of my youthful exuberance, I had wanted to travel abroad to the United States of America. But coming to Lagos again, I met Mr. Edet and that truncated my education at that period. I started having babies; I got married in 1993, when I was just 20 years old. I was so naïve and inexperienced, but I had an understanding of family values because I was raised by a civil servant, who was focused, and wanted to give value to the society. My father was a Postmaster General. He was doing his best working with P&T in those days, part of which was NITEL, which was before everybody had telephone. NITEL was an extract of P&T. I come from a family of nine and I am the last child. Right now I am a mother of many, but I grew up having this understating that I could do it. When I got married in 1993, I told myself that my education could not stop, although while I was doing that, I earned a diploma in Computer Science. I later went to Theological school and obtained diploma in Theology. After that, I went to Kaduna Institute of Teachers. I

later had a first degree in English Language from the Lagos State University (LASU). All these while, I was having babies, and I am blessed with three children. I have a 21-year-old son, an 18-year-old daughter and my last child is 16 years old. I am a potential grandmother, so to say. I later stumbled on politics, which I once regarded as an aberration as a full time pastor. I have ‘pastored’ and planted several churches. I started full time ministry in 1988 as an Assistant Pastor. I went to bible school in 1991 and graduated in 1994. I was ordained by Pastor Ben Enoch of Communion Chapel in 1995. God ministered to me to minister to people and I started an NGO, through which I reach people. The headquarters of the organization is in Ghana. It was after one of my trips to Ghana that the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) was sensitizing Christians to go into politics and I heeded the call, which was what led me into politics. In 1999, I contested for the post of councillor, but lost at the primaries. I did not give up. Again in 2002, I came out but also lost. After that, the party endorsed me as their consensus candidate to the Lagos State House of Assembly in the 2003 elections, but I lost. All put together, I lost three elections, and won two, which was what brought me into LSHA. I have been serving OshodiIsolo Constituency 2 since 2007, and my people are happy to identify with me. I live amongst them and I am one person that can say I have facilitated several projects to my constituency. My family and my people are proud of me. I have indeed run a good race, but I have not stopped.

You said you got married at the age of 20, did you face any challenge then, and is the marriage still intact? It is a straightforward question; you are only asking me to state the obvious. It is no longer news that Omowunmi Edet is divorced because my marriage broke down in 2009. But sometimes, you get stories that are not true. Yes I am divorced, but I hold on to the name because three children are involved. It is important that I manage the situation well. Being a pastor, I try to convince the people around me that you could find yourself in an unpalatable situation. I never envisaged that I would have to go through a second marriage; I wanted a marriage that would work because I grew up with my father, mother and siblings. So no matter what you go through as a woman, you can make things work. I found myself in a nasty situation, which I couldn’t help. Mind you I did not leave my husband, it is the other way round, for reasons best known to him. I never at any point left Pastor Edet. I did not leave him for any other man. I want to know if you have a church and what does it take to own one? I do not have a church; you do not need to have a church to be a pastor. We had a church in place before my marriage crashed and I had to step aside. When the issue came up, I could no longer be part of the church. But I do a lot of evangelical works. I minister when I am invited. For example, I am ministering in the church of Bishop Odeleke this month, so I do have

CONTENT You can imagine if I now become the Governor of the State, and I look back and start seeing plenty of people who had undressed me

invitations to minister in different churches. Church is made up of people, not the building. You can have a big Cathedral but not affecting the lives of the people; it is a matter of time before they would leave because if your church cannot change you, you would change your church. So it is not about the structure. To own a church depends on what you have in your head. I don’t believe that I must build a church before I can affect lives. I do not own a church, what it takes to own a church is if God leads you. If God does not lead you, it is a matter of time, you would pack your bags and baggage. To own a church is secondary, it should not come first; one thing should precede the other. A lot has been said about you, especially your relationship with King Wasiu Ayinde Marshal (KWAM 1). Can you clear the air on your closeness to him? When you see a man and a woman standing even under that tree you would say something is going on between them. The relationship I have with KWAM 1 was orchestrated by God; I met him divinely. I had been working as a board member of the Ministry of Youth and Sports before I met Wasiu Ayinde. I had contested several elections and lost. But somebody where I worked told me to meet KWAM 1; that he lived around my area. That person asked me to talk to KWAM 1, that and he is a factor to reckon with in my neighbourhood. In Isolo where I come from, you have two very prominent persons - Dr. Fredrick Fasehun (founder of Odua People’s Congress (OPC), the other is KWAM 1. you cannot ignore these two people. The day I went there, I gave them my complementary card at the gate, and I told them I was from the Lagos State Ministry of Youth and Sports and he gave me audience. I told KWAM 1 that I had been contesting elections for some time and lost. I said I wanted him to support me and he endorsed me as his candidate. We have been working together since then. But all the stories that I was dating KWAM 1 are not true. Even for three years that my marriage crashed, I never set my eyes on Wasiu; I was far away from him. Thank God there was no link; if there had been any, people would have had photographic evidence, but they were just baseless news that was flying around. I want to tell you that I am not sleeping with Wasiu. In fact, we are even related. His mother is from Ilupeju, Lagos. My father’s mother and Wasiu’s mother are first cousins; you can add that to whatever you have

in your archives; so he is my big brother. I call some people five fingers staring with God almighty, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, through him I met Opeyemi Bamidele, who led me to Mutiu Are, who introduced me to KWAM 1, the last finger. These are the people I call helpers of destiny; they helped me in my journey of life. Wasiu helped me at a point, so I cannot leave him; he is not my boyfriend, husband or sugar daddy. He is my father and he would remain that in my life. As a woman in politics, in a man’s world, what are the challenges you have faced? Have you experienced sexual harassment because that is why several women shy away from politics? Of course, I have been sexually harassed. What do you expect in a House of 40 members with only five women? - five to 35. Don’t forget that you said I am young and beautiful, which are also tempting. It then depends on individuals. Initially, when I came on board and they tried to woo me, I used to say: ‘I bind you’. They used to refer to me as ‘I bind you.’ But with time, I started studying them; most of them don’t mean any harm. But if you are not careful, you are in for it. When they took their time to look at the women that just came in, they started placing us, which does not mean they would not try, but I did not succumb because I knew where I was going. You can imagine if I now become the Governor of the State, and I look back and start seeing plenty of people who had undressed me. There are times I hear what some male pastors do to their female members; I wonder: are these not the people that call them ‘Daddy?’ That is the same thing that guides me, it is not limited to me; what about you, the organization where you work, are you supposed to sleep with your colleagues? You can imagine me coming to the floor of the House and when I want to talk, I would start stammering if I just had a ‘short time’ with somebody. Of course, that will take away my confidence, and I don’t want to lose it for any man; it is not worth the trouble. That’s the philosophy that has kept me going. We are humans, sometimes the flesh wants to give in, but what keeps me on is the admonition: ‘your future is very bright; where you are going you have not got there’. I cannot abort God’s vision for me mid-way; there is a propelling factor that, ‘Omowunmi, where God is leading you, you cannot stop here.’ I am going to re-marry and it would be known to the world; don’t worry, the guy is warming up. There’s no vacancy for now.

stain my name. I love my home and I pray to remain married for the rest of my life. I know how and when to draw the line. So how does he handle it when men make such passes at you? He just squeezes his face and asks me if I don’t know that I’m old. I just tease him back that, I might be old to $ + Q #$ ` I think he likes the fact that men make passes at me. You should ask him that. But to me, we just joke about it. Divorce cases are many now. How do you hope to remain married again? It’s not me; I don’t have the power to keep my home. All I’m determined to do is my best in the relationship. What I’ve done as a woman is to take my marriage to God because the divorce cases are scary. It’s everywhere. Ladies of nowadays are independent; they don’t care about marriage. In the past, single mothers used to lie = is changing. I’m going to sound a bit spiritual here: the devil is against marriage because it was instituted by God. Anything that has been done by God, he wants to pull down. Marriage is meant to be sacred, but it is not like that anymore. A lot of things have changed; even men don’t care what broken home can do to their children. I feel our spiritual leaders should address it and make people start thinking of the vision God had about marriage. I’ve been a victim of divorce once, and I know what my daughter went through because I had an issue from that marriage. I don’t want to see any of my children go through that again, and that’s why I’ve taken my present marriage to God.

were dating, I didn’t give him any cause to doubt me. According to him, he has tested me, and he trusts me. You’re a pretty woman; how do you cope with male admirers? I get a lot of that because people tell me I don’t look my age. I get a lot of male admirers and it makes me feel good because I get reassured of my beauty even after two kids. So I tease my husband about it. A times I even let him know when someone makes a pass at me, for him to know I’m still ‘hot’. But jokes apart, I’m a married woman and I don’t want anything that will

So what were those mistakes you made in the last marriage that you wouldn’t want to repeat in the present? It’s not like I’m trying to sound holy, but I didn’t make any mistake. I just feel it was meant to be like that. I had a mother-in-law who didn’t like where I come from. She didn’t like the fact that her son didn’t marry from their village. She made me go through hell. At a point when I couldn’t take it anymore, I left the marriage. So you wouldn’t blame those ladies who wish their mother-in-laws were dead before they got married? I swear I wouldn’t blame them! If I think back to what I went through, I wouldn’t pray for anyone to go through a similar experience because I went through

I had a mother-in-law who didn’t like where I come from. She didn’t like the fact that her son didn’t marry from their village

hell in the hands of that woman. And for me to have woken up one day and decided to leave, it wasn’t easy because I was young and tried my best to please her. But she wasn’t pleased. I went out of my way to learn # Q to please her but she didn’t budge. So what did your ex-husband do about it? a stronghold on their sons. In the end, he obeyed her. He didn’t like the fact that I was leaving but he couldn’t hold me back at the same time because he wanted to please his mother. We fought the battle for a long time, but when it was clear to me that there was no respite in sight, I left. You have been applauded as one of the best dressed in Nollywood; how does it feel? Of course, it makes me feel happy and good. I just do my thing and people took interest in it and say I dress well. One thing for me is, I love to be stylish. I feel you have to look the same way you want to be addressed either in a negative or positive way. You just have to dress your age because as you get older, there are certain dresses that you must not wear but one thing people don’t know is that, you have to age gracefully and in that way, you become comfortable in $ % Q and everybody around me knows that and I also love taking photographs. Some people think it is vain but that is what makes me happy. I think I have gotten to the age that I must do whatever makes me look good. What determines what you wear? What I wear depends on my mood and the occasion. At times I might want to do the T-shirt and jeans, just to look casual.

Feminine story

Audacity of hot, sexy actresses scheming to displace ‘oldies’ There is a new set of screen divas in town. They are not only hot and sexy, but y are in fact making inroads into Nollywood. Given the audacity of their act, they are worming their ways into the hearts of movie buffs. Ultimately, they aim to take over from the oldies. Slowly but steadily, they are beginning to occupy the front rows in some Nollywood flicks. FUNSHO AKINWALE reports. Collette Orji Many believe that her pretty face and wellshaped backside are reasons producers lurk around her with movie roles. But whatever the reason, the Anambra State-born, fast rising actress is indeed hot and gradually carving a niche for herself in the industry. She has dazzled in many flicks including, Raindrop, Two Can Play That Game, Amaka Mustapha, Strength of a Woman, Blue Blood, among others. She’s still looking up.

Resources Management from the London Metropolitan University, has been nominated as ‘Best Upcoming Actress’ in the forthcoming ZAFAA Awards billed to hold in London, specifically at the prestigious Hilton Park Lane Hotel, London.

Naomi Ihemelu

Since her arrival barely a year ago in the competitive Nollywood circle, the sexy starlet from Delta State is gradually becoming the favourite of leading filmmakers. She is pretty and cerebral. A Cambridge trained lawyer, Angel has featured in a number of blockbusters including the already wave-making and yet-to-be released movie - Dr. Bello. With a knack for flawless role interpretation, the soft-spoken Ufuoma will indeed go far.

The Anambra State-born actress is also a shining star among her peers as desmonstrated in her roles in quite a number of movies and soaps including, Desire, When You Are Mine, Confidential Romance, Faithful Betrayal, Kolomental, Clinic Matters. The History and International Relations graduate of Lagos State University, whose career started in 2007, has continuously upped her game and is currently dazzling home video viewers in both movies and soap operas, especially Clinic Matters, currently the delight of many lovers of soap operas.

“I am not going to fade soon; I am going to be around for a very long time. Anybody waiting for me to fade soon is wasting his or her time waiting.” That was the recent outburst from the Economics graduate of the University of Abuja and AMBO season four winner- Ivie Okujaye. The Delta State-born starlet, who is playfully referred to as ‘Little Genevieve’ on account of her striking resemblance with Genevieve Nnaji, proved her mettle with a first role in Alero’s Symphony, alongside popular R&B star Faze, which won her AMAA 2012 Award for Best Promising Actress.

She proved herself to the world as an actress to reckon with in her first movie role titled Silent Scandals. In fact, her amazing performance earned her an AMAA (Africa Movie Academy Awards) nomination in the same year - 2009. Expectedly, she went on to win the award the following year as the ‘Most Promising Actress’, AMAA 2010. She also won ‘Best Upcoming Actress’, ZAFAA Awards 2010. In the same year, she bagged the ‘Revelation of the Year’, from the Best of Nollywood Awards. With an aura of self-confidence and maturity around her, Chelsea, who comes across one as someone ready to take on the world, was born in Kano; grew up in Kano, and had her Primary and Secondary education also in Kano. Among other hit movies to her credit, the English Language graduate of University Maiduguri featured in Two Brides and a Baby, Twist, Timeless Passions, Hood Rush and others.

Angel Ufuoma

Beverly Naya In 2010 when Beverly carted home the award of ‘Most Promising Talent’ at the Best of Nollywood Awards, movie buffs began to see her as one who has come to stay. As if proving her admires right, she further emerged as ‘Fast Rising Actress’ at the City People’s Awards 2011, after which her career has remained on a steady rise. With the feat, the UK returnee young actress who embraced Nollywood in 2008 with her first amazing role in a hit movie titled Home In Exile, is no doubt among the latest sensations in the industry. Other movies she has displayed her acting prowess include The Stripped, Weekend Getaway, Up Creek Without A Paddle, Alan Poza, Make Me a Heart’ and several others. The only child of her parents, who lived most of her life in London, relocated to Nigeria about three years ago, to pursue her passion for acting. Beverly studied Film Making and Script Writing at Rodhampton University in London, and was once rumoured to be in a romance with Desmond Elliot. Months later, she was alleged to have switched over to Uti Nwachukwu, a romance close observers believe is still sizzling.

Annabel Zwyndila When she hugged the klieglight with her daring and challenging lead role in a hit flick titled Samantha, she immediately stood her out in the league of fast rising actresses in Nollywood. Having starred in several movies including Common Ground, Twisted Union, Beauty, Painful Sin, Motive for Murder, among others, the Adamawa State-born actress is currently the toast of some producers, as she is currently shuttling different states and countries with filmmakers. In fact, she is being touted as the next ‘biggest thing’ in Nollywood. Despite her recent giant strides, the sexy and humble actress, who came fifth in the third edition of AMBO is not resting on her oars. “I still have a long way to go. My eyes have always been on the top because I dream big. I believe I have the potentials to storm Hollywood and act with the best in the industry,” she boasted. Amazingly, the master’s degree holder in Human

Pamela Peters Since she stepped into showbiz, the Otukpo, Benue State-born Pamela has continued to dazzle in both English and indigenous hit flicks which have earned her some award nominations. Pamela also produced Ozuofia in Brazil. She combines acting with production, and is gradually gaining relevance in Nollywood.

Chika Agatha Busty and beautiful Agatha is unarguably one of the hottest starlets tantalising Nollywood with abundant skill and endowment. Apart from her sexy eyes and endearing physique, the star actress of Dream Walker, Transformer, Akpati, among others, belongs to the school of thought that believes: “If you have it, flaunt it!” Most importantly, she doesn’t pretend that she’s got boobs and sexy eyes to flaunt. For this beauty and sex appealing nature, the Anambra State-born Management Science graduate of University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, remains a fantasy to men. Besides, she has a smile that can awaken a dormant horse and soften a hard heart. With a hard-to-disguise beauty, sound education, marvellous role interpretation ability and her obvious humility, many believe she will soon become the hottest item on the screen, as she is gradually riding on the back of respected Nollywood producer - Ifeanyi Ezekwe - to fame.

Chinee Uyanna Barely a year in Nollywood, the Anambra Stateborn actress is also becoming the toast of many producers and directors because of the way she

Chineye Uyuanna interprets roles, especially wacky ones. She says: “I’m very daring when it comes to interpreting movie roles. I go out of my way to assume that role and execute it to the best of my ability.” The pretty, gap-tooth graduate of Economics from University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has displayed her acting prowess in the following movies: College Girls, Shakara Babe, Baby Factory, Azonto Babe, Sweet Mistake, Fight for Passion, Great Betrayal, among others.

Ivie Okujaye

Wumi Obanla At a close ranger with the multi-talented Wumi, what comes to the mind of a movie-buff is that she is pretty, sexy and daring. With the physique of a typical model, outspokenness and uncanny knack for roles interpretation, Wumi, an indigene of Ondo State and Economics of Lagos State University, is indeed a star to watch out for as she is currently dazzling Nollywood. “I have a passion for acting, and I believe I have a lot to offer the industry,” the light-skinned, soft-spoken and fast rising actress, who is currently producing her debut movie – Iyagbajumo - stated. Wumi is also a model who has done some high profile jobs for multinational organizations.

You said you are humble, but you had problems in your first marriage. What went wrong? I rushed into that marriage and I rushed out. I was not even deeply involved in acting like now. One thing I have learnt is that the older you get, the calmer you become and the more you reason deeply before you take actions. My first marriage was fast. I dated him for about six months and we got married. It was two different people under one roof; we didn’t really understand each other. I didn’t understand my ex’s way of life, and I was not even ready to accept his way of life.

You are one of the few Yoruba actresses who have shot movies in full English Language; what point are you trying to prove? In life, you don’t want to be stagnant. I believe I have done a lot of Yoruba movies and I am still going to do more. I just want to go beyond where I am today. Yoruba movie is for selected people but English is versatile and I am ready now to explore that world by producing my own English movies and showcase my talent and tell my story the way I want.

But English speaking actors are not complaining like you guys do. I don’t know about the English speaking actors.

How rewarding has acting been for you? Acting is just something I like to do, whether it is rewarding or not. Like I said, even before I became an actress, I was involved in buying and selling of goods. I was even doing property at a point. The most important thing in life is to learn how to manage what you have, to make the best of it. What I do is that, I borrow from one business to help another. If I make good sales from my movies, I invest it in my business and when I make proceeds from the business, I invest it on another movie that I plan to shoot.

Is it not affecting your acting career since you have to be around almost every time? Interestingly, the two have been going fine together. I am a picky actress. In other words, I don’t act in all the movies that come my way. I try to plan and manage my time well. If I know I am going to be busy with my business, I won’t take any script for that period. So I try to draw out a plan for myself in order not to get myself hooked up on one thing while others suffer. I try to find out time to produce my own movie, act in other movies, pay attention to my business and manage my home well. I don’t choke myself up in one business; like in my spa business, I have professionals who will handle my clients. I also try to communicate with my clients to find out what areas I need to improve on.

How did you raise the cash that you have expended on the project so far? I am a movie producer and a business woman. Like I said, this is not something that started overnight. I had been planning for it, and when I discovered that I have saved enough of money to start the business, I didn’t wait the next minute. I raised money from the movies I produced and my husband also supported me. It is not easy to have a business like this in this kind of environment. A lot of people ask me if I took a bank loan to execute the project but I say no. I started saving for the project since 2010.

our beauty spa recently clocked one year, what exactly led you into that business? I have always been in business and I have always been passionate about beauty related business. Though I started with mini-mart hairdo, I wanted to expand it, so along the line, I picked interest in body massage. I started learning about it and found out that the more I learnt, the more I was interested in learning and my passion grew higher. I am particular about how I look and I decided to go to the UK to study more about fashion and beauty tips. After the training, I came up with the idea of having a beauty spa in the heart of Lagos. I have been in the business before but on a smaller scale until now that I felt it was time to give it a wider outlook. So it took me about two years to actualise the dream.

What to answer when an interviewer asks:‘Tell me about yourself’

T

his could just be the clue to your getting that juicy job you have been dreaming of. So take your time to go through it. “Tell me about yourself � can be an overwhelming question to answer. “So, tell me about yourself.� It’s one of the most ubiquitous interview questions, and often one of the most difficult. With such a wide breadth of possible answers, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. Hint: If your go-to response includes a run-down of where you grew up or what you studied in college, you’ve probably already lost your interviewer.

Way of Life Pot belly: Status symbol or sickness? By Eric Elezuo

A

lthough human beings come in various shapes and sizes, certain body features, especially in people over the age of 35, could be signs of trouble. A pot belly, once regarded as a sign of the good life, has now been proven to be a sign of impending danger, especially in men. Most people have always associated a " "

lot of people still do, erroneous though. It is, however, not to be swallowed hook, line and sinker that every pot belly is a consequence of disease, or even a sign of wealth. Both of them go hand in glove. As growing children, anyone sighted with a pot belly is accorded more respect and privileges than his

things of life and men would proudly pat their bulging stomachs at the end of a meeting or a good meal and boast, with a wink: ‘It’s all paid for.’’ Now we know that a bulging belly is a vessel for life-threatening diseases! In addition to life-threatening diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke, scientists have established a link between a widening girth and some other health problems. Mark Teich, in an article published in the September-October 2007 edition of the journal Psychology Today, warns that men who are overweight tend to generate excessive heat, which leads to a reduction in the level of testosterone in their sperm; the bigger a man’s belly, the greater the testosterone problem. Heart disease is also directly associated with erectile dysfunction, aged men are prone to, with its embarrassing consequences. Nothing could hurt a man’s ego more, perhaps irreversibly, than for him to get ready for action, only for ‘big boy’ to shut down! So one can see the trend: obesity (a potbelly in this case) leads to heart disease, and heart disease leads to erectile dysfunction! On a last note, a story was reported some time ago of a onetime deputy premier of Uganda whose picture was used in a story depicting pot belly and impotency, who shot back, reminding the entire nation that he was still virile enough to be the father of 30 children (and still counting!) and the husband of four wives! Well, pot belly is not wealth or fashion; it is a step towards unreality.

Thomas, 46, had financially supported his partner for a time and they made significant purchases together after living together for 16 years and after four children. Thomas said the difficulty of the breakup has worsened because of the lingering financial details. “There are details that we are struggling to work out because we have no legal documents, so there are no real legal answers. We’re just having to struggle through and decide who is responsible for what.� He says he expects he and his ex will be able to untangle their financial issues without resorting to legal action. “The finances has added a level of distaste and unpleasantness to the breakup that I would rather not be there.� In a recent survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers said they’ve seen an increase in the number of court battles between couples who had previously lived together (49 percent have seen no change) and 39 percent of

the respondents noted a rise in cohabitation agreements between live-in couples during the past five years, with 70 percent of those contracts for heterosexual couples. The latest census results show that men and women are delaying marriage longer than ever before, raising the age of first marriage for both men and women. The data also show that the number of heterosexual cohabitating couples has more than doubled, to 7.5 million from 2.8 million in 1996. Divorce attorney Cynthia Albin, in Clayton, described a single female client who had to file one lawsuit to divide a shared house on top of a paternity suit to figure out child support and custody issues. In a divorce, both of those issues would have been handled in one legal action. “You can say that you can walk away from a

relationship, but you can’t walk away from a financial obligation,� she said. “That became an expensive lesson and a big mess.� Bar. Clement Eguae tells the story of his client. The woman had lived with a man for nearly 20 years, when her partner died unexpectedly. The deceased man’s adult children and ex-wife had her thrown out of the house and took back the car she had been driving because it was in his name. “It’s devastating,� Eguae said. “She did not have much legal recourse because they were not married.� Linda Lea Viken, president of the lawyers association, said she advocates “cohabitation� agreements for those planning to live together. It’s like a prenuptial without the nuptials. The agreement covers the basics, such as what happens to the property each person brings to the partnership, who pays for what in the course of the relationship, how to divide things purchased together. If an unmarried, heterosexual couple want to adopt a child, only one legal parent is noted on the adoption record. Concluded

During breastfeeding, who owns the breast? Many have argued about who really owns a woman’s breast - her husband or her baby. Especially when a woman has to breastfeed her baby exclusively for six months, it would be almost impossible for the husband to achieve BCDFGHIJKGLNOQGLNRSIVKRXILYGLIGKCGZI I I I[KNLCBZ

F

or me oh, my wife can’t breastfeed for more than one month, because the breasts are mine and not the baby’s. I can share all things, but not those; no way. One month, that is all Richard. The breast to an extent belongs to the husband because once the dowry has been paid, the woman automatically belongs to the man. Since the breast is the organ on a woman’s chest which produces milk after pregnancy, it also can be said that it belongs to the child because after delivery, the child tends to feed from it, thereby making the man the caretaker of the breast, for it (baby) takes charge of the breast for a period of time before handing it over to the man, who also takes charge for sometime, then handing it back to the baby. The baby, at a certain age stops feeding from the breast and the woman also

stops giving birth, which then leaves her breast at the mercy of the husband as the rightful owner - Uchenna

Stepping into the future...

I believe the breast is owned by the husband and the child respectively. The husband owns the breast during sexual activity by the couple. The breast which is part and one of the most arousing sexual organ of the female is enjoyed by the husband during sexual intercourse thereby making the breast the sole property of the husband at that point in time. Also, the breast is owned by the child, when the woman puts to bed and starts breast feeding, because it is the child’s way of survival as a bady. Both husband and child needs the breast to survive, thereby the breast belongs to the child and also belong to the husband who is the over-all owner of the breast because he is the husband to the woman and the dowry payer, and also the father

Victory, Forgiveness is a very mysterious thing. Both the Bible and the Qur’an say you must forgive others who have wronged you – whether or not they deserve it. Really, you can’t accept forgiveness without also forgiving! I don’t know the details of your parents’ relationship but you are the one in ‘trouble’ here. You need to forgive your father SRIXG5CKIYR[I{N|QFHLINLINBZI CIGHHIBLKFJJHCI with unforgiveness at some point in our lives but unforgiveness has never done any good to anyone. It is like carrying about a sack of potatoes. The sack is heavy and the potatoes start to rot causing a foul smell and its weight, slowing you down. Unforgiveness is a dark, heavy, foreboding shadow that drags behind you everywhere you go. Others see it and ask about it and you defend yourself with reasons why you share its company. But those reasons are really only excuses preventing you from doing what is right. Truthfully, it is only God that can help you forgive you father. Pray that your heart would soften. Ask God for His restoration and healing. If you are sincere with your prayers, love would replaced hatred and you would begin to pray for your father also. You would receive the freedom to love your dad and others in my life as well.

Tourism Day Okundaye flew Nigeria flag at art exhibition in London Chief Nike Okundaye recently did Nigeria proud at the Gallery of African Art exhibition with her incredible paintings. TUNDE BUSARI reports.

O

ctober 9, 2014 was a special day in the career of Chief Okundaye in the city of London. It was indeed a moment she had waited for since she had arrived the country days earlier to participate in the art exhibition held at the Gallery of African Art. The Gallery of African Art is an art gallery focusing on 20th century and showcasing contemporary African art. Located on 9, Cork ^ ]

has exhibited works of such African artists as Bruce Onobrakpeya whose innovative sculptures, etchings and illustrations refreshed collectors’ memory of African writers like China Achebe, Wole Soyinka and J.P. Clark. Newswatch Times also gathered that an Ethiopian painter and mixed-media artist, Wosene Worke Kosrof, had also featured his works in the gallery. As a woman who is always driven by the

very unique head gear. The headgear was simply the cynosure of all eyes when she stepped into the spacious exhibition hall in company of her daughter and other aides. Aside the eye-catching headgear, her pedigree as a frontline artist of global appeal earned her the kind of recognition reserved for the queen. Queen Okundaye is in the world of art where she reigns supreme like a goddess.

she was exchanging greetings in her humble nature with everyone, thanking them for appreciating her works for which they were showing her love.

“In that circumstance, there was nothing I could do to reciprocate the joy they expressed to me than to acknowledge them with greetings commensurate with their strong feelings for me. In this life, especially, coming from the Yoruba, respect is reciprocal. “In fact, it is a part of our culture, which we don’t joke with. I have some non-Yoruba friends, who always tell me that one of the things they like in Yoruba people is their manner of greetings,� Okundaye said with a loud smile radiating her face as a sign of

collectors who travelled from far and near to feed their eyes. Like one communing with the gods, Okundaye pointed out, for the sake of clarity, that her paintings on display might not be easy to summarise and analyse, except if one devotes more time to seeing them. “The variety and practices employed are so "

series of multiple statements. I will, therefore, like to leave that platform to art critics and historians,� she said. Okundaye recalled her encounter with an art research fellow who lamented the complexity of her works. She said the fellow’s statement is the spirit behind the creativity of the paintings on display, especially for their spiritual, healing and therapeutic value. “They, therefore, conjure peace, harmony, good health, good luck and tranquillity in homes, providing solution to problems and no doubt enhancing long life,� she stated. Okundaye, however, explained to his admirers, who probably thought she was only

that with hard work, dedication, honesty and patience, women can be empowered into leadership positions through art if they look

always beyond men. She charged women to impress it on young girls that there are no known easy ways to success, adding that they should not wait on men to give them the tools they need to achieve success. “In my over six decades of knowing myself as a woman, I have found out that the socioeconomic system that is globally available to us has never fundamentally addressed the needed women empowerment.

The judiciary, given the environment, is trying to achieve the best that can be done with what is available. Most of our judges have been working in a harsh environment and under terrible conditions with just average remunerations if you put them side by side with their colleagues who have not taken up judiciary responsibilities. + @

work on, I have somebody that works with me who at any point in time will research what aspect of the law we can use, but in the case of judges, it is not so. For a judge in Lagos State, the least

not less than 10. Cases are not the same but these judges don’t have anyone to assist them. Judges still have to take note in long hands. A judge sits, listens and still has to write. Sometimes, lawyers would make sense in their presentations and sometimes they may not but the judge must still record whatever transpires. He must do that within the hours of 9am and 4pm. After closing from work, he " — "

take the following day, and write rulings and judgements. In writing rulings and X " @ #

he works till 12am if he is a serious judge.

When you set criteria, are those criteria circumvented on the basis of god-fatherism, parentage or what? If it is done on merit and the integrity of

somebody becomes a judge, he would do his work without fear or favour; but if after meeting the set criteria, you still have to be running from one place to another or one government house to a ministerial department to get somebody to help you, then a seed of corruption would have been planted. This is because if you get there, the person who helped speak to someone that got the judge appointed would one day ask the judge for a favour and if he refuses, he would remind him that they put him there. But if you got the job on merit, when the person that appointed you comes asking you for a favour that the facts of his case cannot justify, you will be able to tell him you cannot do it. Every judge should owe

Enitan allegiance to the oath that he took. When people realise that you got your position on merit and your integrity, no one will be able to corrupt you. \ x\~{|†\�‚_ˆ‰\€†_\ ‚ƒ_†‚€x\Œ|zƒ_‡\  {††|Š]‘ People keep saying Nigeria is corrupt but I do not agree. We do not need to " @ X

The strength of Nigeria is in its number. I am an incurable optimist concerning the greatness of this nation. Once we get the fundamentals right, the things than can stop Nigeria are Nigerians themselves and that is what is preventing Nigeria from moving forward. We are our own greatest enemies in the things we do and the way we conduct ourselves. If we have to break up, into how many fragment are we going to break up? People think that if Nigeria were to break up, it will break up into Yoruba, Hausa, Ibo and the Niger Delta. But if you take the Yoruba, for example, ”ˆ

#

Yoruba dialects will stay together. We have the Midwest who is also divided into various dialects. If you go to the core Ibo, we have Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo, Enugu and others but they also still have various dialects. If you go to the North,

in each state. We would need to break into more than 300 nations if we must see ourselves as a nation with a distinct language and culture. What we need to do is to entrench true federalism by removing power from the central. Let the central authority control the armed forces, relationship with the outside countries, receive a distinct percentage of income from all the states and send the remaining to the states and local government authorities. Let those who own the oil be in charge of their oil. Nigeria is the only place where you hear that everybody must share things equally. \ {\~{|\ _‹‚_�_\]^_†_\‚‡\‡]‚‹‹\^{Š_\�{†\ ]^‚‡\ {|x]†~‘ Yes, there is and that is why I believe ! " †

NBA laments low quality of judicial system Ayodele Olalere

T

2015: I’ll kick Jonathan out of office – Kwankwaso Continued from Page 15

political parties and I think in 2015, we will keep our eyes open to ensure that every single vote counts. Sir, if eventually you are _‹_ ]_z\‚x\”•–—‰\^{ˆ\z‚Q_†_x]‹~\ will you tackle the escalating activities of insurgents in the country? First and foremost, as a former Minister of Defence who has been associated with the Army, Air Force and Navy, I feel terribly concerned about what is happening to the Nigerian military today. It must be supported by all Nigerians. The military has done us proud over the years, both within the country and across Africa. This was a military that was being respected by its friends and feared by its enemies. But unfortunately, over time, things are beginning to change. And that glory must be restored. We should have a powerful military in this country. No single country in the world can be proud if it doesn’t have a strong military. Any country without a strong Army, strong Air Force and a strong Navy is a failed country. Therefore, our administration can never take the issue of the Nigeria Armed Forces, the Police, the State Security Service and other paramilitary bodies lightly. In my opinion, what we are lacking today is the political will - the political will to provide the necessary ammunitions, kits, welfare and of course training and retraining. I think these are the issues; otherwise we saw the performance of our military even when I was the Minister of Defence. We saw what they did in Dafur, Sudan; we saw their performance practically in Sierra Leone, Liberia. I can assure you that once you have strong and

country, things will certainly take shape, not only in terms of security, but also in the economy. We have the issue of unemployment of our youths, both men and women. As we "

is moving; it is not static. That is the worrying aspect of it and that is why I believe this country needs a change - change by 2015 and we must work together and bring about the change. Those people in Abuja want to remain there but they know they are not performing. We only see them performing on the electricity poles along the streets of Abuja, telling us funny stories and people are laughing at them. I think they need to know that people are laughing at them. You should tell them when you see them that people are not only laughing, but are very angry with their leadership. You know, they don’t know what is happening on the ground: they are there in Abuja in the air, not knowing the reality on the ground. The realities are that people are not eating well; people have no jobs; people are afraid for their lives; some have already been killed and the killing continues. This is what is happening on the ground, not what they write on their posters and bill boards etc. I was

good of the people of Kano State.

asking my friends, who are the sponsors of TAN (Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria). The TAN before now, nobody had N1 million among them; but now see what they are sponsoring. It must have come from the Villa! If you are eventually elected President in 2015, what will your foreign policy on neighbouring countries be with †_‡Š_ ]\]{\qƒ^]‚xƒ\Š{�_†]~\€xz\ boosting the economy of border communities? Some years before now, we all know that our neighbouring countries depended on Nigeria for protection and support for their economy. The reverse is the case now, because we go to them cap in hand, begging them to help us. Our foreign policy has now come down from grace to grass. Those countries that were " "

happening to Nigeria. Countries like Benin Republic, Chad, Niger and Cameroon were before now heavily dependent on Nigeria in terms of their economy, defence and so on and so forth. Now, you have seen that our leadership is going round begging them, kneeling down to them to help us. I think these are the things that must be reversed. Nigeria must take its rightful position in the comity of nations. Nigeria and Nigerians must take the leadership that we deserve. Of course, this should be the main focus of our government—to stabilise the security of the country, its economy, tackle the issue of education, health and agriculture. Now, we have seen this country surviving on one commodity—oil! We have to look at renewable energy, agriculture, education. We have to make sure that each and every Nigerian is supported by the government to realise his or her potentials; and these individual potentials put together is what will remedy this country. Look at our educational policy here in Kano; you can understand what I am telling you. Before now, how many people were thinking of going to any university out of this country? But now, we have over 2000 people studying abroad; by the end of the year we would have sent another 500 people out to study mostly post-graduate studies - Masters and Ph.D. These guys, by the grace of God’ will realise their potentials, and put them together and push Kano State forward and by extension, make Nigeria great. Look at our students in the private universities. We are not even talking about those in public schools and Federal universities. We have free education policy from primary, secondary to tertiary level. Now, we have a law banning the old system of Almajiri where young men and women go round the city of Kano and other parts of the state to beg for food. All these things we are doing; in the near future, we will live to harvest the positive outcome. On the state of the nation’s economy, you said some people €†_\‚x\ |Œ€\�€ †‚ €]‚xƒ\qƒ|†_‡}\ Are you implying that Nigeria is broke? Second, we learnt that the Emir of Kano, Alhaji

Jonathan Muhammad Sanusi paid a reconciliatory visit to President

{x€]^€x}\ †_\~{|\€ˆ€†_\{�\]^‚‡‘\\ I don’t know why you are asking me whether this country is broke or not, because we are all Nigerians. Now, I throw the question back to you: are you happy with the economy? I don’t think anybody is happy with the economy. Look at the private jets at the airports in Lagos and Abuja that always remind us that we are very rich. Are the jets owned by people from my village? So, they are telling us about their private economy—how they transformed themselves from where they were to where they are today. On the issue of the Emir—the Emir told me he was going to Abuja; and of course, as usual, I gave him the necessary approvals to go; and when he came, he thought he should come and brief me and of course discuss other state issues (when I say state, I mean Kano). That was what happened. I didn’t invite him; he booked an appointment to come and talk to me; and I am sure he will continue to come and talk to me, not minding how and why. The Emir of Kano is the Emir of Kano. I am the governor of Kano State. We will like to know your reaction to the alleged reconciliation of the Emir of Kano with President Jonathan? You see, I will be very happy if President Jonathan will everyday invite Kano people to reconcile. That will be a good story for me and I am sure it will be a good story for them. We don’t even know much about the issues to be reconciled, but it is good that they want to reconcile; and I hope they will also invite me and Kano people to go and reconcile with him also; because we must be very angry for one thing or the other. We want reconciliation and we will continue to encourage reconciliation. If we didn’t want him (Emir) to go, we would have told him that. But you should not worry yourself because the Emir is an employee of the government. Are you saying that all is well between you and the Presidency? Of course, all is well, as long as he starts dusting his table before 2015. Yes, all is well. If President Jonathan invites you for reconciliation, will you make yourself available? Secondly, recently, some people ˆ_x]\€ {|]\]{ˆx\‡Š‚J‚xƒ\q†_\

Kwankwaso that should the President win the election in 2015, there will _\ ‹{{z\ €]^}\ ^€]\‚‡\~{|†\]€Ž_\ on this? What many people don’t understand about democracy is that we have many people #

'" #

understanding of things, and this

democracy for a long time like this. Before now, within a period of two years, somebody will come and truncate it. And now, we are having real democracy where people are coming out to say their own opinion and that is part of democracy. If you open your radio today in Kano, you hear people making all sorts of allegations against me; some against other people. As long as that doesn’t cross the line drawn against the law, I don’t think anybody should worry because it is just an opinion. But the fact remains that we will continue to pray for this country. Bloodshed is not good for anybody; either governor or an Imam, Ulama, camera men, it is not good for them; it is not good for anybody. So we should always pray for the good of the people of Nigeria, the

And once that happens, I am sure you can guess the answer that he will lose completely because I don’t see anybody in this country apart from the hawks in Abuja and of course these contractors, including those who are stealing crude oil and oil money, who will be happy to vote for him again

Some people from the Niger Delta view your opinion on †_‡‚z_x]\ {x€]^€x\€‡\ †‚]‚ €‹}\ �\ eventually you secure the APC ticket, how will you market your candidature to that region? I don’t know; some of you are press men, but you lack the real knowledge of the South South and other places. I don’t think there are no problems in the South South. I don’t think it is only in the North that you have security problem. There are many people from the South; that is, the South East, South West and South South and they are living in Kano and they call Kano their home. Just recently, I met somebody at the airport. I asked him where he was going and he said he was going home (he is an Igbo man). I was surprised. I later met him inside aircraft en route Kano and I asked him again, and he said he was going home to Kano! And I said that is what I wanted to hear from you; I am happy that you are calling Kano your home. And we have all stories of many of them living here in Kano. They go to Abuja for business; they go to the East for business and they come back here; because in spite of our security challenges here, it is still safer for them here. They can’t try to go and stay where they will be kidnapped. So people thought poverty is only here in the North, but a poor man here is as bad as a poor man in Bayelsa State. Despite the fact that "

South Africa and other places, their people are still terribly poor. So it is not like the whole of South South, South East or South West are supporting a particular candidate; no! So don’t bring any quarrel between us and the good people of the South South who Q

in my village don’t care whether it is a Christian or Muslim who is a leader, who is the president. In many cases, we always give an example of what happened in the past so that somebody can understand our antecedents. You remember in 1993 when we had election between the late MKO Abiola and Bashir Tofa. You know I come from the same polling booth with Tofa in Gandu Albasa. So, why didn’t he win there? He didn’t win in the ward; he didn’t win in the local government; he didn’t win in the state! Abiola from Ogun State won. So it was in 1999. Abubakar Rimi from Kano, our leader was contesting. He got almost zero delegates from Kano; while former President Olusegun Obasanjo, a Christian from the South, got Kano delegates and won the elections here in Kano. So politics here doesn’t rely or go for sentiments. We are looking for the best; once we identify the best man, whether he is an Igbo or Yoruba or Tiv or any tribe, we will vote for him. But in any case, if you look at history, you will know that this part of the country has always been very friendly with the South South. It is only this group of people who came and stole everything. We are only lucky that we have people like Governors Rotimi Amaechi, Adams Oshiomhole and other leaders that are bringing us together again.

Revamping economy with tax revenue Most countries of Europe run their governments from taxes paid by individuals and corporate institutions. However, it <F z<Q\>[;= =]^ >9;;^>= =?q^F <@ {<Z^X<? ?F {<Z^X<?@F >9X89X?=^ institutions, private businessmen/women, artisans and nongovernmental organisations are in the habit of evading tax, unless compelled. The few that pay their taxes willingly on the other hand had complained that authorities do not account for =]^ 8?~_^@=F - +{€$ ‚ ƒ‚ ‚ `X<=^F

P

ayment of taxes in form of money was not part of Nigerians culture until the arrival of the white man many years ago. The colonialists, who administered Nigeria, with the assistance of the traditional rulers, introduced the payments of taxes. Many Nigerians, during the colonial era, resisted the payments of taxes, leading to the use force to collect taxes from their subjects. One of such resistance culminated in the Aba women riot of 1929 which led to the death of many women. =

1960, taxes were deducted through the pay check of civil servants, before their salaries were paid to them in the form of ‘pay as you earn.’ Businessmen and politicians only pay taxes when they seek a contract or services from the government, in the form of “three years tax clearance.� The government contractors, politicians and businessmen, who are forced to pay taxes to render services or bid for government’s contracts, connive with civil servants to under estimate the amount of tax they will pay. The discovery of crude oil in commercial quantity in the late 50s provided huge foreign revenue to the country, making succeeding governments to overlook payment of taxes by Nigerians and foreigners alike who reside in the country. The economic down turn of the late 1990s, led some state government, mostly the Lagos State government under the regime of Senator Bola Tinubu and later Babatude Fashola to revolutionise the collection of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), which many states in the Western region and pockets of other states have copied to shore up their While states like, Lagos, Ogun, Edo, Oyo, Rivers and Osun states have tripled their IGR in the past few years, other states depend on the revenue from the Federation Account (oil and gas} to run their states. Lagos, which IGR in 1999, was less than N1 billion monthly now generates over N20 billion monthly. The same scenario applies to Ogun State which IGR was less than N500 million less than four years ago now earn over N12 billion monthly, according to the information made public by the states governments recently. Rivers and Edo state governments are two other states which have emulated the Lagos State government in its tax collection management, and using same to develop their states, in additional to the revenue from the monthly Federation Allocation. While many states are unable to pay salaries and meet basic things due to the fall in the revenue from crude oil sales, those states that have revolutionised their IGR management are forging on with their development plans, as a result of income from the various taxes the residents of the state are paying. Speaking about the problem of tax evasion in the country, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS} lamented

that Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) corporate institutions and private individuals are evading payment of taxes in the country. FIRS statement said that NGOs are required by law to discharge tax obligations to the government. The FIRS pronouncement means many of the NGOs operating in the country have not been paying taxes all these years. Newswatch Times investigations showed that people evade tax with impunity in Nigeria, despite the numerous extant tax regulations in operation. Findings showed that many tax " †

responsible for tax collection are always colluding with tax evaders to defraud government of the needed revenue it should have collected from its citizens, as tax is the most reliable source of revenue for government all over the world. The recent sensitisation parley organised by FIRS for the leadership of the civil society groups is essential for the "

\

of the NGOs, as the performance of government depends on tax payment by its citizens and corporate organisations. Reacting to allegations that Nigerians

\ `

Adekunle Osudu, in an interview with Newswtch Times, said that government is to blame for tax evasion in the country. Osudu stressed that humans by nature, do not like to part with their money, stressing that government must put measures in place to compel its citizens to pay their taxes or be sanctioned. According to him, from time immemorial, men like to evade tax. It is the duty of the government to encourage, and if need be, collect by force, using the instrumentality of the law. He stressed that Europeans who have been paying taxes since time immemorial, still have some people there evading or under paying taxes. Many famous and rich people in Europe have gone to jail due to tax evasion. _

that judicious usage of tax payment will go a long way to encourage more Nigerians to join in paying their taxes. In his words, “It is a known fact that we have tax evasion all over the world. However, the society where the government has used the tax payment

Many residents of Lagos State are paying taxes now more than ever before, because they are able to see what their tax money has been use to improve their environment.

He said, “Many of the residents of Kebbi State do not pay their taxes. I will appeal to the state government to erect a bill board anywhere tax money is being used to create a project. That will enable tax payers to know that their taxes are been used judiciously. His view is shared by Ayodele Yusuf of Equity Services. He blamed corruption in government as being responsible for '

The Lagos State government, under Senator Bola Tinubu, opened the eyes of Nigerians to know that one could run a government in Nigeria with funds from taxes, as it is done in Europe. There is no denying the fact that the Nigeria tax system allows for \

The task of orientating the civil

taxation should not be left in the hands of government alone. As a result of the crash of crude oil in the international market, with the short fall of revenue to the country, the Minister of Finance, who is also the Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Olonjo-Iweala, recently announced the increase in the target to FIRS and the Nigeria Custom Service to "

of the crude oil price crash. The Federal Government has now come to the realisation that tax payment revenue is more reliable than revenue from crude oil and gas which are outside the country’s control. Many Nigerians and corporate institutions will embrace payment of taxes if the authorities can show proof of its judicious use. The Lagos State government has shown that Nigerians can truly pay tax, like citizens of other climes.

HELLO, YOUNG SCHOLARS! IT’S ANOTHER EDITION OF YOUR KIDDIES’ WORLD. RELAX AND HAVE A SPLENDID MOMENT WITH ME. YOU ARE WELCOME!

How a beetle got even with an eagle

A

lexander Beetle was pottering about in the grass when a hare came dashing up. “Help,� he cried, pointing with his paw. “That eagle is after me.� Alexander was a brave beetle, and he stood up on his back legs. “Stop,� he called to the eagle as it swooped... “I’ve given the hare my protection; so you mustn’t touch him.� The eagle sneered at him. “Your protection? Who needs protection from a

tiny creature like you?� She snatched the hare up in her great claws and flew away to the nest. From that moment on, Alexander Beetle was determined to have his revenge on the eagle. Every time she left her nest, he would fly up and roll one of her eggs out of it, leaving it to break into pieces on the ground below. After a while there were no eggs left in the nest. And ever since, they say, eagles won’t lay eggs when there are beetles about.

season. The pre-political season had been on for over a year. The next six months is the main season, and nothing else will matter except politics. This is the time when governance will be relegated to the background. It will also be time of freedom for the civil servants to do as they like as the political class will be ƒ money that has been piled up over the last four $ " abroad will be repatriated to fund electioneering campaigns and other associated expenses. My rough estimates indicate that at least N1trillion will be spent in Nigeria in the next six months on election related matters alone, outside legitimate government expenses relating to INEC and security for the elections. When you add all up, we may be spending up to N2 trillion this election season. If you think this is far-fetched, then recollect that we spent about N1trillion a year on fuel subsidy alone, and that in 2011, we spent $ + ‚ year will be the most expensive ever, because if there was ever a ‘do-or-die ‘ election in the past, this one will be it. Often in my consulting work in Enterprise development, clients ask me what type of businesses they should invest in, to make the best

$ " % a fee for giving them my thoughts. But I have decided to avail willing Nigerian entrepreneurs and business wise people, especially those who read this column faithfully my advice pro-bono on 10 businesses they can invest in and make maximum returns within this political season. These 10 businesses are categorised into three depending on the capital requirement and the 8 $ + set are: 1. Printing Anyone who goes round our nation today will see that the country is one big poster board. Every available space is used up to place posters of the multitude of aspirants for state assem ƒ [„ " \ governors and the President. Posters of all colours, shades and logos deface every electric pole, road median and the walls of public and private buildings in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, except perhaps the territory that is occupied by Boko Haram insurgents. Even posters of aspirants from obscure parties that have been deleted from INEC register for not winning any election since 1999, will be everywhere. I believe their strategy is to position for negotiation and ‘settlement’. " season, just scale up. Those who want to enter; this is a good time too. If you do not own print # = not be a major deterrence. You can be an agent $ % " Z of Lagos, you can easily ‘rent’ printing machines. I believe similar clusters exist in Onitsha, Aba, Kano and in many other cities of Nigeria. 2. Advertising and media consulting This is a boom season for those in the advertising business. They are the ones who produce the newspaper ads, radio jingles and television commercials. They even design the posters and $ % you studied marketing, advertising or graphic arts and have not been busy, this is your season. I am sure many advertising companies will be working under tight schedules, and will require additional hands. 3. Broadcasting and publishing This political season is largely for publishers and broadcast organisations. Check the size of newspaper pages. Beyond frank advertisement, paid advertorials and rebuttals, the headlines are catchy political news which attract increased patronage. The air waves are gradually being $ + intensify after the party primaries. If you own television stations and radio houses, this is your season to maximize income. Despite the need to obtain broadcast license from Nigerian Broad ‹ [ƒ`‹\ investment in this area, any determined investor

Season of political businesses can overcome this by buying licenses from those who have not utilised theirs. A radio station can be set up in 6 weeks. This is the right time to make an entry into the market. And when you combine that with the intervening Christmas season, there could not be a better timing. The next category is less tasking in terms of capital required and the time needed to set up: 4. Outdoor catering Demand for food, drinks and refreshment $ # meetings, caucuses, congresses and campaign rallies from ward to the national levels, much $ " get contracts from all the aspirants and party leaders at all levels to service their meetings diurnal or nocturnal. If you can acquire mobile trucks that can move food and drinks from one arena to another; that will be advantageous as many rallies can be going on simultaneously even in a local government headquarters. Also, prepare to supply food and drinks to the voters who will be ‘watching and protecting ‘ their votes after casting their ballot. Many voters have been educated to ‘protect’ their votes as many cannot trust the superintending agencies. 5. Rental business Whether it is raining, or the sun is in full blaze, there will be need for canopies, chairs and $ " rental business. Again, because of the intervening Christmas season with its own demand for outdoor events, this is the right time to step into this business. You can start with little capital, but if you have large tents, then you will have bigger customers including religious organisations. 6. Crowd hiring Another business that thrives in political sea $ " many politicians have this belief that the size of the crowd at their rallies is directly proportional to their ability to win elections. There seems to be an important need to massage egos, and to $ " those who can mobilise crowds readily to the campaign rallies are in great demand at this time. This business does well when combined with the hiring of buses and other modes of transportation including ‘okada’ and ‘ Keke Napep’. One other success factor for this business is the ability + # ent political parties. That way, the same crowd can appear at the PDP rally in the morning, and

Â? ^ ! !"

quickly change costumes and be at APC rally in the afternoon. Talk of mobility of labour! The following last set of four businesses that I recommend, especially for those who are unemployed or unemployable, the retired or those seeking to get a piece of the over N1trillion political elections expense, are easy to set up and require minimal start-up capital: 7. Lobbying This is a good period to set up lobbying organisations. In political seasons, you get nothing by right or merit. You have to lobby for everything. " ourselves and asking for any position. It is here that the lobbyists come in. They can be hired # $ From being made a delegate to the congress, which today is one of the best paying ad hoc political appointments , to being ‘persuaded’ ! lobbyists can make very strong case on any issue. In addition, they are the ones that are sent to negotiate with and arm-twist opponents to obtain concessions in cash and kind when we need to step down for more popular or better endowed opponents. The lobbyists can work for both sides at the same time. In this business, arise, it is ignored. 8. Otimkpu/bodyguard If you have a big body bulk or you can quickly build up your muscles, there is great opportunity as bodyguards to our politicians - aspirants or

not. There aren’t enough policemen to go round, and even if there was, experience has shown that when the going gets tough as it is bound to can be sure of some of the police men. They can drop their guns and run as some of our soldiers are rumoured to have done in Mubi last week, or they can be withdrawn by the DPO with or without orders from the IG as was recently done to ‘cunny man’ Tambuwal If you do not have the bulk or nerve to serve as bodyguard, you can become Otimkpu or praise singer. Just arrange your troupe with or Q [ \ litical aspirants around. Your job is to praise him, and let him know that he is the one everybody has been waiting for. Let him know that he really has no opposition, and that he has already won. That way he and his supporters will ‘spray’ you crisp naira notes. If you are too sophisticated or shy to personally undertake this job, you can organise the troupes, and send around to the # with the political party costumes. All you need to do is appoint the ‘treasurer’ who alone can collect the monies being sprayed. This is to ensure $ 9. Dancing/Singing/Choreography Can you sing? Can you dance? Are you an unemployed Theatre Arts or Music graduate? There is a great opportunity for employment in this political season. I am told that the Transfor ƒ [+ ƒ\ $ + they may produce music and dance in all the over 200 linguistic groups in Nigeria. Naturally, the contending group will do theirs and perhaps they will include Chadian, Camerounian and Niger Republic music and dances so as to reach our Chibok girls who may have been dispersed to those nations. What a pleasure to sing and dance and get paid handsomely - political business. Of course, singing and dancing at political events is the forte of our women folk. They will help to promote the business of ‘Aso Ebi’ textile traders and uniform makers. In this season, there is something for everyone including ‘pancake’ makers, as every woman dancer must look young and beautiful. Our mothers and grandmothers are sure to forget their arthritis this period as they undertake daily dancing exercises at the rallies, even if they have to make up with analgesics at night. 10. Tale bearing/Rumour mongering In case you do not have the stomach for all the political business opportunities enumerated above, you may wish to consider this one-man business of bearing tales, spying on the opponent and spreading rumours. I certainly do not recommend it. A few days ago, I got a message from one of the practitioners of this trade who completely twisted the things said at a meeting called by a political aspirant in my constituency which I had attended. He concocted a mixed grill of half truths, innuendos and bare faced lies and sent out as resolutions reached at the meeting to the utter consternation of the political aspirant, but certainly to the utmost pleasure of the opponent who is his client, but he attended our meeting and pretended to be an ally. In fact, in the last election in 2011, one practitioner went round town announcing that a particular election had been postponed, as a ploy to keep the voters from coming out, knowing that his client had little electoral support in the town. This is the business of de-marketing your opponent # giving false information. Conclusion If ever we desired full employment, this is the time to achieve it. If you cannot take advantage of any of the above business ideas in this political season, you will have yourself to blame. In that case, you have to stop blaming the government that there is no work, or there is no business. Finally, to assure success in all these business and employment opportunities - except business no 10 - in which I have no expertise whatsoever, and which I do not recommend at all, please contact me to help you with a business plan. Certainly for a fee! It is well with Nigeria.
