The U.S Secretary of State, Mr. John Kerry, had earlier said: “Our inter-agency team is hitting the ground in Nigeria

The entire world should not only be condemning this outrage but should be doing everything possible to help Nigeria in the days ahead.� Pentagon Press Secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, however, said there are no plans to send American combat troops, explaining the tasks

of the experts dispatched to include establishing a coordination cell to provide intelligence, investigations and hostage negotiation expertise. Earlier yesterday morning, a team of British counter-terrorism experts also arrived in Abuja.

F

of assistance by the US President Barack Obama, and the acceptance by President Goodluck Jonathan towards rescuing the abducted Chibok school girls, Nigerians in the United States, yesterday, described the development as a slap on the home government. In separate interviews yesterday, some of the US-based Nigerians urged security chiefs in the country to stop toying with the lives of the citizens. ! " based Awe Ayodele Benjamin described it as a welcome development. He, however, said there was need for the Federal Government to bury its head in shame,

# solution to the spate of insurgency in the country. He believes that the intervention of American soldiers might curb the atrocities of the murderous Boko Haram sect. “It is a good development, in as much as the Nigerian government has failed to secure the release of the school girls. The development is a sign of relief to Nigerians. We know America is capable of stopping the sect. “Besides, the U.S is telling the whole world that security in Nigeria is nothing to write home about. I must confess to you, I am very sad to continue hearing news of security challenges either on Television stations or on the pages of newspapers about Nigeria. We know that there is no perfection

in security, but Nigeria’s case is so bad that some strange persons could enter a school and take the young ladies away, and the Nigerian government is playing politics with the matter.� On his part, Engineer Olumide Akitomide, an Atlantabased Nigerian, advised the Security Chiefs to resign, arguing that they have failed to protect the lives of the citizens. “I wonder why the Security Chiefs cannot confront the said Boko Haram and rescue the school girls all this while. The question to be answered by the Presidency and National Security chiefs are: How did the ‘Arsenal vehicles get to the point of abduction without being apprehended? How did the abductor’s satanic convoys move the immaculate girls unchal-

lenged on Nigerian road(s)? “Until we get it right in Nigeria, if not we are bound to be facing a lot of problems every day,� he stated. For Moses Olubodun, a Colorado-based engineer, the security system in Nigeria needs to be overhauled. He said the intervention of US army would not completely solve the security challenges, but believes that it would go a long way to provide intelligence support for Nigerian security operatives. “As a matter of fact, this gesture of President Obama has again demonstrated that he is competent to the task as a world leader. But my position on this matter is that America cannot do much; they can only provide logistic and intelligence support.�

Abducted girls still in Nigeria –Jonathan

T

he Borno school girls abducted by Boko Haram insurgents are still in Nigeria, President Goodluck Jonathan said yesterday. The girls, believed to be more than 200 in number, are students of the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State. They were taken hostage by the terrorists on April 14, and are yet to be rescued since then. But President Jonathan, at the sideline of

the World Economic Fo $ @ ! expressed optimism that the girls are still in the country, saying he believes they have not been moved to Cameroon. “There are stories that they have moved them outside of the country. But if they move that number of girls to Cameroon, people will see, so I believe they are still in Nigeria,� Jonathan reasoned.

Trans-border traders stranded as terrorists blow Nigeria-Chad link bridge Saminu Ibrahim, Abuja

F

leeing members of terror group - Boko Haram - have reportedly blown a bridge linking Nigeria and the Chad Republic as troops push to free the over 200 girls they (terrorists) abducted last month from the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State. The same bridge also connects parts of the Cameroons. The incident has left hundreds of trans-border traders stranded, as their heavy duty vehicles cannot use the bridge in its present condition. Saturday Newswatch learnt that the bridge was bombed on Monday when the Boko Haram gunmen were retreating from the attack on Gamboru Town. “Members of the Boko Haram detonated an explosive that destroyed a high-

way bridge linking Nigeria and Chad,� according to a witnesses, corroborated by a security source. Hundreds of heavy duty trucks plying the Chad-Nigeria highway along Gamboru-Ngala Local Government Area conveying commodities from the two countries are now stranded on either side of the bridge. Though residents say small passenger cars can still meander to either side, the frames of the old bridge are in bad shape, leaving the traders lamenting the economic losses they will

to move their goods. “Boko Haram is gradually caging us in; the bridge is the only one that links Gamboru from the other side of Borno State and Nigeria as a whole; it has been destroyed. We are in trouble,� said a trader whose shop was completely burnt during the Monday attack

E

bonyi State Governor, Martin Elechi, yesterday sacked his Special Adviser on House of Assembly Liaison, Hon. Clement Nweke, for alleged incompetence. The governor felt the S.A., being a former member of the House, has not been up and doing in monitoring the activities of the house and informing him accurately.

Others are: the Special Adviser on ICT, Mr. Lawrence Nwezza, his primary health counterpart, Dr. Nora Aloo and Commissioner for Environment, Engr Paul Okorie.

T

he South East Governors Forum (SGF) has described Late Justice Chukwudifu Oputa as an illustrious son of the South East zone and Nigeria in general. This is as lawmakers in the Imo State House of Assembly, yesterday, unanimously adopted a motion urging the executive to immortalise the late legal icon. While condoling with the entire Oputa family over the loss of their patriarch, Chairman of the SGF and Governor of Abia State, Chief Theodore Orji, who conveyed the mood of his colleagues,

said they were saddened by the exit of the jurist. Orji, in a statement in Umuahia said, “We, the Governors of the South-east geo-political zone received with sadness the news of the transition to eternity of our illustrious son, Justice Chukwudifu Oputa, after attaining 96 years of age. “The eminent jurist had been missing from the public space as he battled with illness. We were with him in prayers, hoping that he would rise from his sick bed to continue his march to possibly become a centenarian. But the will of the Almighty God has prevailed.� The governor said the SGF was not consoled by Oputa’s longevity because he was “such an exceptional jurist and

statesman.� “In the legal firmament, he belonged to the constellation of the brightest of bright stars. And it takes ages for such stars to appear. “As a justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Justice Oputa acquitted himself creditably to the admiration and applause of the legal profession. He left behind landmark judgments and judicial pronouncements that will forever illuminate the nation’s judicial system.� Orji noted. The House also resolved to send a high-power delegation to condole with the bereaved family, while urging the executive to give Oputa a state burial for his monumental achievement in legal practice.

How consensus should be determined – Don Etiebet Continued from Page 15

challenge me on that. Who are your suspects? That piece might have # of Barrister Enoidem and Aniekan Umanah. I did say that in the social media and they have to prove me wrong in that regard. And in proving me wrong these Otobong and Etim have to come out in person and we’ll see their national ID cards. They have to come out and show their identities; they have to come out and show where they come from. They have to come and show their addresses; they have to show their emails which they used in sending the write-ups to the international social media. And we are going to investigate that to prove them as culprits who wrote it because we do not want people to use faceless individuals to castigate anybody in this state. If you want to say anything, come out and be bold to say it. The time of using faceless people and shadowy people should be gone. If you are bold enough to say something, please come out to identify yourself and say something. So, I would call upon those people to do what I did. Their write-ups did not address the issues I raised in my press release. They only went about abusing me, accusing me and saying all kinds of things and all those people that said all those things against me are they accused me of. I don’t know who in this state or in government or in the party # benevolence in one way or the other; let them come out. And when they come out individually, I would remind # from me if they deny anything. So, for them to come out and use my benevolence to abuse and insult me is very unfortunate. If you are a politician you should be able to absorb those kinds of things. Is it true that you are a leader without followers as alleged by a popular politician? I have read another writeup by my personal friend, Senator Anietie Okon, who in politics. Whatever he is

in politics today is through my benevolence. Somebody like Eyakme would testify to this. Could you imagine that Senator Okon would say that I am a leader without followership? He is my follower. All of us know who Senator Okon is. For him to say all these things against me is quite unfortunate; he should remember who he is. Okon is a chronic professional political tout. Yes, that is what he is and if he wants to take me for a debate I would tell him to his face that he is a chronic professional tout who can be used by anybody. I learnt that he wrote that thing in order to please Governor Akpabio to appoint his brother as commissioner ! \ all that kind of things against me with borrowed English? I am very surprised and I would like to see him. He is my friend because I made him what he is today. In 1999, I woke him up from sleep to make him the national publicity secretary of the PDP. I woke him up from sleep to inform him that I have nominated him as the national publicity secretary of the PDP. And when in 1999 he was ! 5 investigation and saw that he won the election but the powers that be at that time said the seat had been taken to Cross River State and that it was too late. So, I would invite him to my house. And I am sure that very soon when his brother is not appointed a commissioner he would deny all he wrote. Why are emerging politicians not having respect for their forbearers as well as elders of their parties? Politics has evolved very tremendously in Nigeria, so much so that decorum been thrown to the wind. But one thing you should appreciate is that political elders would remain elders till they die because those elders have in the past impacted on the lives of many people in their constituencies or in their environment in one way or the other especially through scholarships, job creation, training or education, and the people would never forget the projects and the leaders. Before, political leaders were not appointed; they earned it,

Don Etiebet unlike nowadays when they are appointed. So, today’s people who go and say they are elders because they are appointed and can spread their wealth around do not have lasting ‘ > # ! People would always respect who their elders are whether you like it or not. Today, I was at the airport. I didn’t expect the kind of crowd that came to

Consensus is not determined by the party. It is determined by the aspirants. So I subscribe to all the aspirants coming out from wherever they may come from and we talk to them as elders and say for this or that please step down. That is consensus. If all the aspirants do not agree to step down we then ask them to go to the ballot box

welcome me. Okon said I am an elder without followership but all the people came out to say that they are all followers of Chief Etiebet. And this is even when I told Ekong that I don’t want any crowd at the airport; that I am in town only # of my cousin and as such don’t want any crowd at the airport. When the time for gathering crowds comes we would bring crowds in this state, and they will see that Chief Etiebet has followership. What issues do you have against the state PDP’s resolution on zoning the governorship to Eket Senatorial District? All what I am saying is ~}~ V position on zoning. Zoning arises as a result of consensus. The party as I know cannot take a resolution to say we zone the governorship to any constituency and bar other people from expressing their interests. That does not hold water. But we leaders in the process of electing a gubernatorial candidate can say let’s support a certain candidate; that will be in our mind. And then we shall express that during voting. Everybody should be allowed to express his or her intentions and aspirations and then go to the people to receive votes. What I spoke against # #

only aspirants from a certain part of the state should be the ones to go. No; it shouldn’t be so. On the other hand, I said through consensus because you took me on in this house in some time back when I told all the governorship aspirants to step down for Obong Victor * @™™z! # was addressed only to the contestants not the party. And all the aspirants agreed and made statements which were recorded that they had surrendered to the candidature

* * became a consensus candidate and got support from all other aspirants. Consensus is not determined by the party. It is determined by the aspirants. So, I subscribe to all the aspirants coming out from wherever they may come from and we talk to them as elders and say for this or that reason, please step down. That is consensus. If all the aspirants do not agree to step down we then ask them to go to the = ! What do you have to say about the resolution of some stakeholders from Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District to surrender the Senate seat to Governor Akpabio in 2015? There is no portion in the PDP constitution for electing representatives either in the Senate or House of Representatives or any other

V # set of people can sit down and say they do this or they do that. But endorsement is part of canvassing for votes. Any set of people can endorse anybody but then that would be translated during the primaries. So, everybody would take part in the primaries and anybody who endorses anybody would go and vote for whoever he endorses. But endorsement cannot stop any aspirant from canvassing because everybody has his own wish and right to support his person. What is not proper is for such an endorsement to be put on the heads of other people and ask everybody to sit down. No, it shouldn’t be so. The only thing that can ask any aspirant in the world, in Nigeria, in Akwa Ibom State and in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District to sit down is the ballot box. So everybody should be prepared to go to the ballot box.

Marginalisation of S’East on Confab’s agenda – Nwosu-Iheme Chief Uzoma Nwosu-Iheme is a delegate at the National Conference representing Imo State. A former Commissioner for Public Utilities and Education in the state, NwosuIheme belongs to the camp of power brokers, considering his numerous contributions to the development of not only Imo State but the entire South East. Emma Mgbeahurike

We are about 70 from the South East geo-political zone. The 70 of us are representing 7 > state government, professionals, youths and other categories. Will you say the 70 members representing the entire South East zone is fair enough for the zone, considering the number of delegates from other zones? That is where the problem is. You can see that this marginalisation issue is part of the agenda for the National Conference and it extends to all the activities of government. For instance, the number of states we have in the zone is not at par with other zones in the country. The North East has seven states and other zones have six each. It is only the South East that has ! 5 7 National Assembly and in the sharing of the national cake. We get the least share because of the number of states we have. So, we are marginalised. 5 # > at least two more. Since this is so, what is the stance of the Igbo over state creation and marginalisation? In fact, I’m really impressed with the level of cooperation the Igbo delegates are exhibiting at the National Conference. After the normal plenary, we also meet to take a common position. All the Igbo delegates meet regularly to compare # position. Incidentally, our position is the same with the southern delegates. Do you think that when the issue of additional state creation in the South East is tabled delegates from other geo-political zones would support it? < #> known to other states’ delegates that our major problem is that we must have a balanced federation.

Uzoma Nwosu account, those with higher number of states receive more than those with less, like the South East states. They are seeing reasons with us especially our brothers from the South. I was highly impressed when we discussed the Presidential address, and one delegate from Ondo State decried a situation where the number of local government areas in three states in the North East is more than that of all the local government areas in the South East. Such does not give room for fair sharing and the unity of the country. Having seen this level of cooperation among the delegates especially those from the South East, do you see something positive coming at the end of the day? The National Conference is not only about state creation. A lot is involved. We are there generally to of this country. Mr. President, during his inaugural address, stressed so much on the issue of unity of the country. He charged us to discuss everything about Nigeria, except one thing - the disintegration of Nigeria. Hopefully, many issues would be discussed. Issues that range from power devolution to true federalism and security etc, are to be discussed as well. Our position in the South East is that an additional state is one of our major demands.

at it is that there must be equity in this country. The country must be restructured. I believe once it is restructured, most of our problems like terrorism, kidnapping and unemployment will be handled properly. Restructuring will make the zones to be self-reliant (to be on their own) and make the centre weak because presently, the centre is so powerful. I suggest that the zones should be given powers so that they can handle some of these problems. Let the states or zones handle state police so that they can tackle the issue of insecurity.

2015: Sokoto PDP in disarray as unity eludes party Ayo Ajoge

W

ith the 2015 general elections fast approaching, it is dawn cast that the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Sokoto state has lots to contend self-destructive scheming and intrigues among it stalwarts. The exit of the incumbent governor, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko and his associates from the party is now compounding its strength and structure towards 2015. Before now, the PDP had enjoyed unparalleled control of power at all levels in the state, for over a decade, the state can arguably pass for a one-party state. Although, political parties co-existed during PDP’s reign but none could take on the ruling party. Wamakko and his political folks had joined PDP mid-way in 2006, and dominated political scene during this period. Several accounts emerged on how the governor suddenly put PDP on the winning track in 2007 general elections. He also emerged as a ‘political czar’ and revived the party in the verges of crumbles. The party went through reengineering processes initiated by the governor’s political group that eventually repositioned it. Subsequently, the party won massive elective positions in 2011. However, with the overwhelming defection of both National and State Assemblies’ members, among scores of political appointees to the All Progressives Congress (APC), there are views that PDP might be on the verge of structural collapse. Political watchers further denoted that such scenario might be an acid test for PDP to maintain its structure ahead of any election. "

# # could still parades some bigwigs to regain Wamakko’s blow on the party; hence, likely to boost its structure. In fact, there are still few founding members within the party-fold, especially; those who in the meantime refused from leaving the once ruling party in the state. The likes of the current deputy governor, Barrister Mukthar Shagari, Alhaji Arizika Tambuwal, a former state

Apparently, all these chieftains were founding members of the party since 1998 and still kept their faith with the party. Many commentators agreed that the party could still sustain its structure ahead of the 2015 general elections, where its aimed winning the governorship seat in the state. Aside the personality of these founding members. It was widely viewed that the recent entrance of some decampees could further swallow the structure of the party. As it maybe, the presence

He argued that foreign partnership would not only guarantee security beyond the borders, but would also ensure the elimination of undue gangsterism that may threaten the unity of Nigeria. He told Saturday Newswatch that the exercise was not peculiar to Nigeria alone as many countries facing security threats have sought same assistance in the past. According to him, “we are other countries to stem terror.

lders and stakeholders of Eket federal constituency have applauded the decision of the Akwa Ibom State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to zone the 2015 governorship seat to Eket Senatorial District. Professor Etien Ben Akpan, who briefed newsmen on behalf of the group said: “As leaders and major stakeholders of Eket federal constituency, we unequivocally assure the people of the state that Eket federal constituency has more than enough competent hands to V # 7 # governor from 2015. “Most of our aspirants are competing in the race to the Hilltop Mansion on the basis of their personal integrity, merit, proven competence, demonstrated leadership capabilities, impeccable professional excellence and a completely detribalised disposition,� he said. They argued that other federal constituencies within the district, particularly Oron and Ikot Abasi federal constituencies have produced deputy governors, stressing that it is only Eket that is yet to produce deputy governor since the creation of the state in 1987. According to them, Eket federal constituency lays the golden egg that sustains the state’s economy as well as making it one of the highest crude oil revenue earners in the country as the area alone produces over 75 per cent of oil resources in Akwa Ibom State.

Apprenticeship: Panacea for unemployment In a recent report, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) claimed that over one million graduates are churned out of various institutions of higher learning yearly, of which less than employment. However, most undergraduates have resorted to acquiring one form of vocational skill or another while in school through which they eke out a living thereby creating jobs for themselves and others. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

I

n times past, hair weaving, barbing or make-up arts were thought to be menial jobs, only good for the uneducated. Higher education was then thought to be the only means of securing a prosperous and successful future. But with the economic down turn of the mid 90s in additional to the global economic recessions of the 2000s, many youths, especially those from less privileged homes, have begun combining vocational skills with formal education to combat unemployment, which has become a monster ravaging the country. Saturday Newswatch’s investigations showed that many youths who are in various institutions of higher have begun to acquire one form of vocational skill or another while still pursuing their studies. Findings showed that many undergraduates are now embracing jobs # for the uneducated folks. An undergraduate with Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, who gave her name as Iyabo, = at her campus, to eke out a living while pursuing her accountancy degree. Iyabo, in a chat with Saturday Newswatch, disclosed that she learnt the trade from her mother who runs a hair saloon business in Lagos, adding that the skill she learnt during her college days have come handy today. * % = 9 hairs at school (OOU).

He stressed that he has been advising his unemployed graduate friends to forget about their degrees or diplomas, and learn a vocational skill which guarantees employment at all times, adding that it is time fresh graduates understood that the era of white collar jobs are over. “Its high time fresh graduates without “connections or long legs� understood

that the days of white collar jobs are over. I tell young fresh graduates without ‘ can secure employment for them to go acquire vocational skills which will guarantee them consistent income. Those graduates who heeded my advice are glad they did,� he stressed. It would be recalled that the government of General Ibrahim Badamosi Babaginda during the mid 80s established the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) to train unemployed school leavers and graduates towards acquiring vocational skills for guaranteed employment. The NDE had a mandate to reduce unemployment in the country through the training of young Nigerians, equipping them with vocational skills, as is the case in China, Japan, Germany and many other notable countries. Analysts who spoke to Saturday Newswatch are of the view that various managements NDE have failed to deliver on this mandate. They say that despite the billions of Naira the Federal Government has spent on the agency, not much has been recorded, as many youths still roam the cities in search of L = U ! One of the analyst, Mr. Abel Ikoro, during an interview with Saturday Newswatch, disclosed that the government of General Ibrahim Babaginda gave out a lot of money ?}Q 7 that government established NDE to train Nigerian school leavers to acquire vocational skills, which could enable them to be on their own, in the event that they could not secure employments in ! Ikoro said, “It is sad that NDE which was established by the government about 30 years ago, has not done much in training unemployed young Nigerians. The World Bank says about 70 million Nigerians are unemployed. Out of these lots, many of them have no form of any vocational training. So what has NDE been doing with all the money the government has spent on it these three decades? If the agency was living up to its mandate, many of the young unemployed Nigerians should have learnt a vocational skills from NDE which will make them self employed, than for them to be waiting for white collar jobs. The analyst disclosed that the Chinese, Japanese, Germans, Lebanese, Indians and Syrians ensure they acquire a vocational skill in addition to formal education, which is why the above named nationals are always self-reliant, wherever they go. Apart from Ikoro, other Nigerians who spoke to Saturday Newswatch were in agreement that wise parents have a duty to advise their wards to learn some form of vocational skills while still at the secondary school, adding that such skills could be very useful in the higher institutions or in later years. They say the economic down turn has made it a necessity for Nigerians to have multiple sources of income, adding that graduates or school leavers who have additional skills in added to their Œ their counterparts who merely have their ! They called on young students and undergraduates to use their holidays and other free periods to acquire a skill which could come in handy in the future, in the event there are employment

! It is on a record that some of the young Nigerians musicians studied Medicine, Business Administration, Mass Communication, and some other courses, but embraced music as a vocation. As the economic situations worsen, wise students in the country should do well to learn a trade alongside their academic disciplines.

Newspapers can earn revenue from their online editions; so print media companies should now adopt multi-media platform by using the print as well as social media as business venture. A journalist, Sunday Ajayi, said there are many obstacles facing print journalism, which seem to make it V the present day technology. He said the source of revenue for the business is advertising, which he said is fast declining. The decline in advertising revenue has been partly due to availability of cheaper advertising platforms such as Craigslist and Google. Now the print journalism industry # progression of social media and the Internet. Ajayi said what might be the major problem of print journalism is the inability to adapt to the new technological trends. Television, Internet, and radio are media that have a solid grip on consumers, while the print journalism industry continues to grapple. “The Internet might become the major force in communications, I believe that print media will not die, but will maintain an important role in publishing,� he said. \ which the defunct Daily Times and The Guardian enjoyed in those glorious days, is their monopoly over certain services -- TV guides, sports results and

Thisday publisher, Obaigbena # ! “The fact is that good communication is a great skill, one that professional journalists, despite all their failures, have traditionally mastered. Most have been pushed and prodded from the very beginning to make themselves easily understood. An old mantra of newspaper editors is that, if readers have to re-read a line or a sentence to grasp its meaning, you have lost them.

One of the most dangerous trends in the newspaper industry is the lack of interest people who are able to read are showing to newspaper reading. Today, newspapers are losing readers with the age bracket of 15 and 25 to television and internet, facebook, togo as well as entertainment, especially music while football has taken the center stage against literature book. The old folks too have lost interest in what they considered shabby reporting, biased views and publishers meddling for political reasons

“Even those journalists who write on blogs, facebook or online who are expected to show professionalism, often fail. Instead of striving to make themselves easily understood, they often hide behind professional jargon

or profound. To anyone schooled in the art of communication, they simply display their ignorance of the most basic principles of good writing.� Those who support the existence of social media and its competition are still of the opinion that the system is easy, L # L 7 ! According to Mrs. Judith Hassan, “There is a distinct paradigm shift because presently, there are over 184 million bloggers generating content, mostly for free. There are millions of video clippings uploaded daily. There is podcasting. But the point is not in numbers. The point is the change in nature of content. Social media is counter-intuitive to mainstream media. While in mainstream media, space is # # consumer or user. While mainstream media is mostly one way, social media is two ways. Mainstream media delivers message, in social media, it is like being a part of a conversation. In mainstream, content is created by the media manager while in social media, content is mostly user created.� Hassan said another interesting development is the increasing habit of

number of news sites on Internet and mobile news groups. Even on television, there are free news channels. Journalists are one of the prime problems in promoting the social network. They post news that is to be published on their facebook or blog pages 12 hours before the newspaper hits the stand, so all the news that were to be read in newspaper the next day would have been read in the evening in the social network; so why would someone bother about reading what he Ă• The list of problems confronting newspaper publishing in Nigeria can be extended, but to say that there is no future in the business is to cancel its prospects.

hat is the reason for the decrease in insurance customers? There are many challenges facing the people of Nigeria today and this has led to everybody seeking survival strategies. Heads of the families are faced with multifaceted challenges such as payment of electricity bills, provision of alternative power supply, unstable business with multiple taxes, school fees, and high cost

7 ! country today, we are in a situation where every individual family has to provide all basic needs. Consequently, nothing is left to think of insurance. No one is saving for the future; everyone is thinking about the present and not of tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself. This is the reason less people are undertaking assurance policies. The vehicle insurance policy you see people parading is just to # anybody engage in it if it was not made compulsory. Even at that, majority is on third party insurance and how many make claims. It is not really that people like it, but because of the legislation and regulatory agencies. The business environment is slippery # 7 business operations. When the business sector is not stable and the environment is not conducive, the insurance sector will be most hit. Businesses are closing down today, so you can’t ask a business that is on the verge of folding up to insure when its management is thinking of survival. What is the way out? Despite the survival strategies and the slippery environment, we should always remember that we still have to safeguard what is on ground. We need to insure what is left so that in case of eventuality, we will not lose all. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. We should take insurance on all our properties to minimize risk no ! { is a risk, the insurance reduces the risks and brings hope back to the hopeless. Whatever challenges we are facing today is not as worst as when an eventuality happens which somebody else can take the risks. What then has been keeping the sector going?

he National Cashew Association of Nigeria (NCAN) has called for the establishment of a produce marketing board to guarantee market for farmers. Public Relations Officer of the association, Mr Sotonye Anga, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that it would ease the burden of selling farm produce by farmers. Anga said that with such an arrangement farmers would concentrate more on producing food rather than sourcing for open market to sell their produce. ``In the olden days we had the marketing board. The marketing boards were tasked with the job of going to buy all of those produce. ``So the farmer is able to concentrate in his area of core competence, produce the food. The marketing board business is to go and buy whatever is produced. `` And the marketing board is funded by government and that gives the farmer a guaranteed market for whatever he is producing. ``And I think it is very important now to establish marketing cooperation. ``Government should, as a matter of urgency, go to encourage the establishment of agricultural marketing cooperation. Anga also urged that the marketing board should be private sector driven but fully supported by the relevant governments. He said that the marketing corporation should have the data of what each farmer produces at any given time, location and tonnage of produce. ``This marketing cooperation would be private sector-driven, not government-driven.

a team does not have a good bench they will resort to blaming their poor run of form to injuries. On Rangers, Chukwu maintained that the way the team is playing at the moment it does not give any supporter or fan of the Coal City based side any joy. According to him: “This is not the Enugu Rangers that we used to know. “They are not near the character of Rangers that their name put fears on the spines of their opponents.� “It is unfortunate but all hopes are not lost after all, the league is still young and they can still win the league if things turn around or secure a continental ticket,� Chukwu said.

Nduka Irabor led " K (LMC), for abolishing the sign-on fees in the Nigerian Premier League (NPL). According Adepoju: “It is a good thing that the LMC has abolished the sign-on which has been an issue in the Nigerian League for many years,� Adepoju began. “I abolished sign-on fees about two years ago when I was the General Manager of 3SC of Ibadan. “What I did was to pay the players 30 per cent of their sign-on fees and then spread the rest with their salaries and they were happy. “You see, the issue of sign-on fees became a very big problem because many at times, the clubs may not have the money to pay the players their sign-on fees and as you are aware, most these clubs are owned by the state government who have many

oars to ensure that the sign-on fees are paid. We are working toward achieving that objective of clearing outstanding sign-on fees so that the club will be free from debt and the players will not bear any grudge against the club,� Johnson assured.

Rangers Int’l FC vs Lobi Stars FC Sunshine Stars FC vs Heartland FC Giwa FC vs Crown FC competing needs for money. “So now that the LMC has abolished the sign-on fee and declared that a minimum amount of money should be paid the players as their salaries, it is going to change a lot of things. “As far as I am concerned, it is a welcome development because it will help to reduce the mistrust between the players and the clubs because of the inability of these clubs to pay the players their sign-on fee which is not deliberate,� Adepoju declared.

Harrington still up for battle to return to top

P

ådraig Harrington’s accident last week in Charlotte – when a cable snapped whilst he worked out in the local YMCA gym – has left him with the legacy of a stiff neck, a reminder to him that rather scary things can happen off the golf course. Unfortunately for him, there has been no easy ride of late on the golf course either. The threetime Major champion has slipped to 206th in the latest official world rankings and is no longer an automatic entry in to some of golf’s biggest events, missing last

month’s Masters and this week’s Players championship. Still, his hunger to get back up the golfing ladder remains unabated. As he quipped, “I’m not going into TV commentary just yet.� Harrington, in Dublin this week to launch the Confederation of Golf in Ireland’s development plan outlining the organisation’s strategic vision for the future of the sport, returns to tournament = 9 2# ? Classic on the US Tour before retreating back to Wentworth

Q 5 9 flagship event, the BMW PGA championship. And if there is obvious frustration at a run of form that has seen him miss the cut more often than make it on tour this season, Harrington - who has demonstrated mental fortitude throughout his career – insisted: “I am frustrated, but [frustration] ain’t going to win the battle. I am going to win it.�

ou celebrated your last birthday with the less privileged, what informed that idea? I’m a mother and woman. There is a correlation between what orphanage homes and Nigeria Police Force do in terms of picking abandoned kids from the streets; kids that were dumped by their helpless parents. So I think that must have informed the idea. I only chose this year not to party but rather desire to celebrate with the special people in our society because

All I did was to make them understand that we love them, and I will implore other kind Nigerians to remember these people - no matter their tight schedule - and not only visit them, but also make some donations. I will commend the operators of these homes for taking their time to care for these special people; it’s not an easy task taking custody # # # # Z visit is just starting, it will not end here, I will always

nuisance to the society. They could later become armed robbers while the ladies go into prostitution. How old are you now? I am a lady, so I won’t tell you my age. I can say I’m in my late 30s. At this stage of your life, what do you still desire from God? First, I still desire that God should take me to the peak of my career but if I may say, God has been so faithful to me for keeping me alive till today. I know some of my colleagues we started together are no more, so I should be grateful to God for taking me this far in life. Some of my dreams are yet to be accomplished, but I’m not going to tell you those dreams. Perhaps I will when those aspirations become reality.

What is your philosophy of life? I’m always good to people around me, no matter the status or level and that has kept me going. You must not look down on people because this world is just a small place. What are those things you will have to stop now that you are getting older? Nothing as such. I’m still myself and there is nothing to change about myself; I’m perfectly okay. The only thing in life is to go to the drawing board and correct yourself in your dealings with other people. What has been the pain and gain of being the Lagos You know Lagos State is a cosmopolitan city with about 17 million people. As PPRO of the State, you are saddled with serving everybody irrespective of their culture, language and religion. In fact, the pain is more than the gain. There is the challenge of trying to educate and inform the residents on crime issues because many of them are ignorant of the law, only a few claim to 5

lives. There is always rumor here and there but all you

it happens at any given time. And social media has not helped matters in terms of spreading the rumor to the world. Though it’s a veritable tool for us in dissemination of information to the public, it has also been challenging spreading untrue reports to the public. All in all, it has been a wonderful experience and I’m What measures have you taken to positively project the image of the police in Lagos? I’ve done a lot in that regard. I remember vividly when I came in; I created a radio programme which runs on Wednesdays on Radio Nigeria. It’s a platform where we reach out to the public. I personally interact with the public through the programme. A whole lot, I must confess, has been done in terms of repackaging the image of Nigeria Police Force not only in Lagos

alone but the country in general. The feedback we have

5 5 been impressive and encouraging. Aside that, we have a Public Complain Bureau where people come to make their complaints on any issue bothering them. Like I said earlier, my phones are open 24 hours for people to call. You don’t need to know me before you call me. If you call me and I don’t pick your call, try sending a text message because I might be busy, I will certainly return your call or text message. So it’s been like that since I started and even at weekends, I attend to issues because that is what the job entails. To a large extent, we have been able to improve the image of the police in Lagos; and the information has been well managed. What would you been professionally if not a police I would have been a lawyer. Why? That was what I wanted to do all my life, because I was very good in English Language, Literature in English, Government and I also like the way they dress for court sessions. When you joined the Force years back, did you envisage that you would go this far? I have not gone anywhere yet. The fact that I’m the Police spokesperson in Lagos State doesn’t mean I’ve gone far. I’m just starting out. I was only posted here to serve in this capacity so I’m yet to achieve my dream in the Force. So what is that your dream? No, I won’t tell you yet. Outside your work, what kind of clothes do you wear? I won’t like to go into that because I’m not a celebrity. But your job has made you one. The occasion determines what I wear. Generally, I like to look good any time I’m going out for any event. How close are you to God? I have a very good relationship with my God because He has brought me this far in my chosen career. I believe He is still taking me higher in life. Despite your tasking job, do you still have time to socialize? Once in a while I do that. Really, I’m not a party

an you tell us about yourself? I’m Princess Oluwatoyin Kolade, the CEO of Fisolak Nigeria Limited. We are active in the maritime sector; we are involved in import and export businesses, clearing and forwarding, oil and gas, marinetime consultancy, interior furnishings and hospitality business. We are also involved in importation and sales of electronics and we have a franchise with Samsung in South Korea. Aside all these, we are also involved in construction. You once said you became a millionaire at age 21. How did you achieve that feat? To become a millionaire is very easy, you just need to be hard-working, focused and be prayerful. From the beginning of my life, I worked very hard. I would say l inherited the business acumen from my mother when I used to follow her to her shop.

She discovered my business sense at a tender age and encouraged me to follow my destiny. I remember vividly, I was a major distributor of soya beans from the North as well as maize distributor. At that tender age, I had already started making good money for myself. At that age, were you not scared of such money? I was an intelligent girl at that age and I was able to manage the funds and the business with little supervision from my mother. I never ran at a loss because I studied the terrain of the business thoroughly. We thank God for where we are today. If you had not been in this your business line, what would you have been doing? I would have loved to be in the medical line; I mean be a medical doctor.

Many people are bent on bringing you down irrespective of your success, so you need to be very careful about those you mingle with

Why? I just have this natural passion for the profession. However, since I was able to identify that my potentials and destiny was in business, I have since followed it up. With your busy itinerary, how do you take care of your home front? I try as much as possible to create time for my kids and my husband because I love them more than anything in this world; they mean the whole world to me. They are the reasons I live and exist. So before I set out for the day, I wake up as early as possible to prepare their breakfast before I leave home for my office. I also outline their schedules and delegate trusted hands that will execute my instructions. All in all, I ensure my family comes first before anything. What are the values that come with being a celebrity? The painful aspect of it is that many people are bent on bringing you down irrespective of your success, so you need to be very careful about those you mingle with. While the gain is that everybody wants to associate themselves with you, a thing that has been of tremendous boost to my business... You seem to be visible in major social events, what do you derive from it? Nothing, other than just enjoying my life outside my work. I don’t attend all the parties that I get invitations for, I only attend a few. But if I don’t attend your party, I will definitely support you. How do you give back to the society? I spend a lot in giving back to the society because I hate seeing people suffer around me. But I would not like to say all these on the pages of newspaper. My reward is in heaven because I will continue to do it until I leave this world. Looking back at your life’s journey, what were the challenges you encountered along the way? There were the good, the bad and the ugly. First, I had the challenge of having true friends, I mean people I can leave my

issues with and go to sleep. I have met bad people that I can never trust again while some people can be full of lies. For instance, some time ago, I travelled to Dubai with a friend of mine. Though I had another business in mind, she encouraged me to buy something else, that she would create the market for it; that I didn’t need to look for buyers for the goods. I believed her and bought the goods. When we came back to Nigeria, she started avoiding me. Eventually, I sold those goods at a loss. Besides, I have also been challenged with competent and dedicated personell to work with; there’s also the challenge of electricity as well as others in terms of business activities and development. I pray God to help us out in this country.

four times in a year. We are doing that with the aim to assist low income earners to acquire what they desire to have. For instance, at the exhibition, you will get will a set of home furniture of one million naira at just N4,000, a blender of N7,000 at N2,500. That is my vision for this country and it will come to reality very soon.

What area are you still looking at to create a niche for your business? By introducing new ideas and innovations into it. Presently, we are trying to put together an exhibition where Nigerians can actually get their choice goods at cheaper rates. It will be held

How supportive is your husband in all these? He has been very supportive. If I should start on that, we won’t leave here because they are endless. He has justified the saying that he who also finds a husband has found a good man because

Do men intimidate you in your line of business? As I speak to you now, it is no longer dominated by men. The ratio is now 50/50 and that is because we - the women - are even doing better than men; people rely more on women than the men because we are good business managers.

also had our own challenges, our ups and downs but we’ve been clever enough to manage our home without the intervention of a third party. You see, understanding is the key to any successful marriage. As a wife, you need to be submissive and learn how to say sorry whenever the need arises. What do you like most about your husband? I like everything about him. How romantic are you? I’m highly romantic but I believe my husband is in the best position to answer that question. Unlike before, I was 118 kilo; I had to quickly work on my weight and size to look more like a sweet sixteen so that my husband will not look outside. He appreciates me more now because he knows he has a beautiful wife.

he is indeed and really a good man. All these adjectives and biblical quotes for him? He even deserves much more than that. You see, I’m happily married to the best man in the world, the best love of my life. I love my husband and I have devoted all my love to him till death do us part because he has also done the same for me. He loves me, he is and always been there for me as a man in terms of anything a woman could think of. He is a good man, very trustworthy, hardworking, loving and understanding. If I come back to this world again, I will definitely go for him because he has justified all I ever needed in a man. So what else can I ask for again? How did you meet him? We met in the Church. At a prayer session or night vigil? Never mind, but we met in the Church. What attracted you to him; was it love at first sight? His good looks! He is a very handsome man and I appreciate that in him. As I set my eyes on him for the first time, something tickled my fancy while I also got this divine impulse from God who told me: ‘that is your husband’. As soon as I was able to convince myself of what I was hearing, I went for him straight, and our love started.

How did he propose? (...laughs) normal toasting. I mean the marriage proposal? Ohh... it’s the normal proposal a man would make to a woman now. No candles, flowers and what have you? My husband is the simple, quiet and reserved type. He expresses his love more through actions and gestures than words. How emotionally attracted were both of you at this period? Very strong, the emotional attraction was divine and automatic. As soon as we set eyes on each other, the love and other emotional factors just flowed freely making everything to fall into their right places. So would you say love has been fair to you? Of course, yes. Love has been fair to me because I have a loving husband. I would say I’m lucky to have met him because it is an opportunity many do not have. He is a good husband and a caring father to his children. He is a complete and devoted family man that would spare nothing to take care of his family. How do you settle your quarrels? Like every other marriage, we have

What would not like to be caught with? I won’t like to be caught having extramarital affair because I detest it like a plaque. I love my husband dearly, so why would I go into that? You were already rich before you got married, how easy was it for you to settle down? It is God that arranged it for me. It was love at first sight between my husband and I. He is very trustworthy and smiles a lot. This is what I like about him. He is always counselling, advising and directing me. In fact, people often refer to us as siamese twins. Does your husband at any time feel threatened by your success? No! I have a supportive husband. He is an asset to my various businesses with his invaluable inputs. Where do you see your business in the nearest future? Seeing Fisolak becoming a household name in the world and seeing myself impact more positively on people’s life because I derive a lot of satisfaction impacting on peoples’ lives.

The look was unique and different, to put it mildly. Critics have not been shy bashing the bag’s design, however, with some members of the press calling it Frankenstein’s monster. Surprisingly, there were 24 customers who ordered the bag after it was featured in a fashion show. All 24 were custom-made and delivered, and the company has announced that they will not make any more Tribute Patchwork in the future

According to Nike, “ the attraction to Dr. Tunde Soleye was his mind. He had and still has an amazing mind. I can’t really explain it, but I’m not a highly sexual person and I’ve never been able to be. If you are not, you have to be able to be attracted by other things and he has a phenomenal mind. Don’t forget that I wasn’t 18 or 20 or even twenty-five at the time. I was forty! But I have to say I was very much in love. Was I guided? More by my heart than my head. Isn’t that nice to be sometimes? Am I embarrassed by that? No! Do I regret it? I don’t! I’m very grateful to have experienced it. It doesn’t happen that often. Would I do it again?

ctresses Stella Damasus and Mercy Johnson have added their voices to the pressure being mounted on the Federal Government to do all within its poweres to rescue the 234 female students kidnapped by Boko Haram in Chibok, Borno State. Accoding to the actresses, “all well-meaning Nigerians must come together and help these mothers who have been in pain for more than two weeks and make the memory a reality — the reality of seeing their children again. “Let us not for once think that the evil-doers who turn the realities of these mothers to memories cannot do the same to us if they have the opportunities. This is not a war against selected group of people; it is a war against all well-meaning mothers in Nigeria as injustice to one is injustice to all. Let the mothers rise, the men who love them should stand by their right hand and the children who adore them on their left and do all we can in our spheres of influence to ensure that the children come back home safe so that the mothers can smile again.

Tips for Women

I

n spite of the fact that women have their own jobs, make decisions for themselves without having to consult a man in their lives, and purchase houses, cars, and other bigticket items, it is always good to act in a ladylike manner. This does not mean offering a limp handshake or backing down in a negotiation. It also doesn’t involve getting run all over in a relationship. It simply means remaining civil in all social situations. What Defines a Lady? A lady should be gracious as she offers a firm handshake and competes for whatever job she wants. She should know how to answer rude questions without insulting someone. Most women enjoy friendships with other women, and to do that, she should always acknowledge others when they receive awards or achieve their own success. She also knows when to back off and give others the personal space they need. Learning proper etiquette helps instill confidence in a woman. That alone makes her more attractive than someone who isn’t sure of how to act in any given situation. When you have good manners, others will follow, and you may find that you have a much more pleasant time wherever you go. Good Social Manners Everyone should know and practice common everyday etiquette. This involves understanding the definition and purpose of following certain rules. When someone makes awkward mistakes, know how to clear things up and move on. There is no point in dwelling on things that have already happened. Know how to act in public. When you go to a restaurant, follow proper dining etiquette and know which fork to use for each course. Before you leave, tip the server appropriately and with grace. When a man does something you are capable of doing yourself, smile graciously and thank him. If you don’t want him doing this again, pull him aside and discuss it with him privately. This includes small things like holding doors and holding chairs or more significant things like going to bat for you at the office. Remember that he is probably showing his gentlemanly upbringing. Try to maintain a positive attitude, but be aware that there are times you must express anger or frustration.

Just know the difference and avoid being a drama queen. You don’t want the reputation of not being able to get along with your peers. Job Etiquette You are likely to have as many women in your office as men – often more – so find ways to be a team player. Even if you don’t care for someone else’s tactics or personality, find common ground to maintain a pleasant work environment. Never divulge confidential information, or you may jeopardize your reputation and possibly even your job. Maintain your strength while exhibiting patience with others. Volunteer to be on committees to make everyone’s job easier and be willing to lead by example. If you don’t know how to do something, take the time to learn. Take Time to Improve Everyone can stand to improve something about herself, so try new things and learn to do them to the best of your ability. Don’t be afraid of new fashion, but avoid trying to look like something you aren’t. Take classes to learn new things and have a sense of humor as you bumble through. Extra etiquette tips and guidelines for ladies: t Small Talk – Learn how to make small talk. Doing so will help you in social and professional situations. t Show Respect – If you want respect from others, show it to them. t Dress Appropriately – Take care to dress for the occasion. Wearing sloppy clothes to work will give you a reputation for not caring about your job or what others think about you. Attending a wedding, party, or other event in inappropriate attire can be embarrassing to you and the host or bride. t Have Money – Never go anywhere without enough cash to pay your own way, or you may find yourself stranded somewhere. t No Insults – No one should ever have to put up with insults, including you or those you interact with. t Stay Sober – Keep your wits about you. Never exhibit drunkenness, or you will likely ruin your reputation. Life isn’t one big “Animal House.” t Be Clear with Expectations – Don’t expect others to read your mind. If you want or don’t want something, let the other person know. Embrace being a woman by acting like a lady.

It is much loved by Most Nigerians. Back in the days, not many women knew how to cook fried rice. All we did was cook our “Rice and stew� or “Jollof rice� at home, and eat out whenever we craved fried rice. In food outlets, fried rice is the most expensive of all rice meals on the Menu. Well, this is considering that I have never bought sushi. Fried rice is loved by many. Children grin all through the cooking and never leave the kitchen anytime a mother announces that lunch is fried rice. With all the colorful vegetables in there, I am forced to think that fried rice is the most healthy of all rice meals. There are other “methods of Cooking Fried Rice.� There is the method where all the vegetables are added to the pot of rice and cooked before frying. There is also a method whereby the rice and vegetables are fried together while mixing. There may be other methods that I do not know of. One thing is common with all these methods of cooking fried rice; The taste and aroma are the same. The methods of “cooking fried rice� may vary, but the

taste remains that unique fried rice taste or we call it something else. Ingredients for Nigerian fried rice: t much curry t chopped cabbage (much) t chopped green pepper t clean and diced carrots t sweet corn

Special Report Pathetic tales of Nigeria’s elderly persons

Femi Ogunshola

S

ociologists always underscore the need for all members of the society to make pragmatic efforts to cater for the needs of elderly or aged persons. Gerontologists, experts in the field of medical science that deals with diseases and problems of old people, particularly emphasise that this category of people needs special care. They insist that the government and other stakeholders ought to initiate concrete plans on how to care for the elderly and make them useful in the society. Nigeria Society of Gerontology and Geriatrics (NSGG), therefore, underscores the need to have a

national ageing policy to address the perceptible challenges facing old citizens of the country. According to the chairman of the NSGG, Prof. Adesola Ogunniyi, the policy was somewhat imperative in view of the claim of the United Nations (UN) that Nigeria had about 8.1 million old people, with a growing ageing population. He noted that if the UN figure is anything to go by, concrete efforts should be made to initiate a credible national policy for the elderly to look after the interests of old persons. Ogunniyi said the NSGG was established to complement government’s efforts to protect the interests of the elderly and

facilitate their access to good health care services. Reinforcing the professor’s views, Mr. Adeola Adeniji, an 82-year-old resident of Abuja, argued that Nigeria does not have adequate plans for the elderly. He said he had never received any form of assistance from the government, adding that old age had somewhat become a source of worry for most Nigerians because of the plight of old people in the society. Sharing similar sentiments, Mrs.

An age-friendly physical environment that promotes the development and use of innovative technologies that encourage active ageing is very important. “More should be done to expose, investigate and prevent discrimination, abuse and violence against older persons

Elisabeth Moro, 75, said life after her retirement from public service had been somewhat harrowing and difficult. She said due to the fact that she was unable to build a house while in service, she had since been facing untold embarrassment by her landlord whenever it was time to pay rent. Supporting such claims, Mr. Yinka Ajomole, the executive director of NSGG, observed that there was no concrete policy formulation and implementation process for the aged in Nigeria. He said the dearth of research data on ageing in the country also constituted a major setback to efforts to ascertain the current status of elderly Nigerians. He, nonetheless, assured the public that the NSGG is committed to enhancing the capacity of the elderly to remain productive members of the society. Ajomole said the society is complementing the efforts of non-governmental organisations, community-based organisations and government at all levels to increase public awareness on the challenges facing the elderly. He, however, recommended the development of a shared vision and common standpoint with passionate people on ageing in efforts to foster the evolution of strategic relationships within the society. He said the society would also encourage the conduct of Continued on Page 66

enlightenment campaigns to change the negative attitude of most people toward the elderly. He, however, argued that the adoption of an evidence-based approach to policy programmes and strategies would also improve the quality of life of the aged. Nevertheless, Ajomole advised the government to incorporate ageing education into the curriculum of educational institutions at all levels and the programmes of the sectors so as to ensure better living standards for old persons. He also suggested that the rights of the elderly to better living conditions ought to be discussed at the ongoing national conference. All the same, Hajiya Zainab

Maina, the Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, said efforts are underway to domesticate regional and international instruments to address issues relating to ageing. The minister, who gave the assurance at a recent stakeholders’ consultative and policy summit organised by the NSGG in Abuja, conveyed government’s concern about the increasing apathy of citizens toward caring for the elderly. She, however, conceded that care for the elderly had declined considerably because of prevailing economic challenges. Maina noted that a breakdown of extended family support system for older persons and rural-urban migration of younger persons in search of more favourable living conditions had also affected care

for the elderly. However, Dr. Isabella Aboderin, a member of the NSSG’s Board of Trustees, said it is important for all stakeholders to brainstorm on ways of improving the wellbeing of the elderly. She underscored the need for Nigeria to formulate a national policy for the aged, adding, however, that the input of all stakeholders in the proposed policy is essential. Aboderin said the policy should also look into how to cope with the growing number of older people in the country and the implications. Ms. Roseline Kihumba, Partner Relations Adviser, HelpAge International, a rights-based international non-governmental organisation, said old persons should have access to age-friendly and affordable health care services. “An age-friendly physical environment that promotes the development and use of innovative technologies that encourage active ageing is very important. “More should be done to expose, investigate and prevent discrimination, abuse and violence against older persons,” she said. In all, analysts stress the need to make pragmatic efforts to promote the wellbeing of old persons because the youth of today would definitely become the elderly of tomorrow. ß 5 6

‘Only 25% of workers contribute to NHF’

O

yo State Controller of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN), Mr Raheem Onitolo, said less than 25 per cent of the working population in Nigeria contribute to the National Housing Fund (NHF). Onitolo, who made the disclosure in Ibadan while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), expressed regret that most Nigerians have a wrong perception of the fund. ``The NHF is available to both government and private workers, but unfortunately most workers are pessimistic about it. ``Many believe that nothing works in Nigeria and because of this, they hold back from contributing to the fund or even harnessing it,” he said. The controller dismissed the fear of bureaucracy associated with the processing of the fund, saying FMBN had improved the process of accessing the fund. He advised workers applying for the fund to ensure their landed property were supported with government approved title deeds. ``Having a registered title document is a major consideration we cannot overlook, ‘’ he said. Onitolo said retired workers, who did not access the fund while in service, would have their contributions refunded in lump sum with two per cent interest added.

Resurgence of ritual killing Tunde Busari

I

n the south-western part of Nigeria, the major topic which dominates discussions lately is the series of escapades of suspected ritualists. This followed the recent discovery of some dungeons in Ibadan and Abeokuta, two important state capital cities where human beings were abducted and allegedly killed for ritual purposes. The Ibadan and Abeokuta incidents are a quick reminder of the Otokoto saga in which the proprietor of a popular hotel in Owerri, the Imo State capital, Vincent Duru, and six others were slammed with death penalty by an Owerri High Court presided over by Justice Chioma NwosuIheme. They were so sentenced having been found guilty of beheading a young boy, Ikechukwu Okoronkwo, and buried his body inside the hotel of Chief Duru. The incident occurred in 1996 and the sentence passed in 1998. Saturday Newswatch investigation revealed that ritual killing is not a recent phenomenon, and indeed knows no geographical boundaries. Nigeria, being an important African # # reports, hence the feast of western media on the recent incidents. According to Sabella Ogbobode Abidde in a piece titled ‘Buying and Selling Human Body Parts in Nigeria,’ the practice is widespread in almost all cultures through all ages and civilisations. “The Mayans and the Aztecs, the Phoenicians, Chinese, Japanese, Indians and others all engage in human ! * 2

The mother of three, who was recently paraded by the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Umar Manko, confessed to her involvement in the illicit 7 human beings whose parts she sold. She named Rasheed Tantolohun and Waheed Ibrahim as those who supplied her the parts at an agreed price. She said one man she referred to as herbalist visited her shop and requested for human parts. The suspect said the price the herbalist

I buy pieces of bones for N20, 000, liver and intestine for N1,000 each and resell for N5,000 or more, depending on the buyer’s bargaining power. Those who patronise me are herbalists and tradomedical practitioners. The parts are used

7 any of her customers, some of whom, she said, come from Ogun State and Cotonou in the neighbouring Benin Republic. “Our business is not like any other business where making money is the ultimate goal. Our business is to help save lives facing health problem. How then can we explain the situation where we are not saving life again but conspire # & the outspoken woman said in Yoruba language. But an Islamic scholar, Alfa AbdulWaseel Raji berated Mogaji for allegedly misleading the public with her outright denial of the trade in human parts by herbs sellers. Raji said the arrest of Salawu was actually facilitated by God, whom according to him, would expose many more perpetrators of the practice. The Alfa said though God forbids his creatures from taking life of his fellow, the practice is done by those he called agents of devil on earth. “Herbs sellers are known to have been into the wicked trade for a long time because they have their customers who ask for the items and those who supply them.

He drew an example in the biblical Cain ever murder on earth and God’s reaction afterwards. “Cain and Abel are children of Adam and Eve; that Cain killed his brother, Abel, out of envy cost him his place before God.

A

man and a lion once went on a journey together. Each began telling the other how much stronger he was than the other. As they walked along the road they passed a great stone statue that showed a man

a lion. “There you are,� said the man. “That proves that men are stronger than lions.� The lion just smiled. “Don’t be too sure, my friend,� replied the lion. “If we lions knew how to carve, you would see more statues with a lion on top of a man.�

reddie the Fox was prowling around one dark night behind an actor’s house when he found a window open. He jumped in and began to explore. In acorner, he found a big trunk, full of the clothes the actor wore on the stage. On top was a mask with

a very handsome face painted on it. “What a fine face,� thought Freddie. “I should like to be as handsome as that.� He sat back and looked at it for a while, swishing his tail. Then he said: “What a pity it has no brains,� and jumped back out of the window.

Three little kittens, They lost their mittens, And they began to cry, Oh, mother, dear, We sadly fear, Our mittens we have lost. What! Lost your mittens, You naughty kittens, Then you shall have no pie. Meow, meow, Then you shall have no pie.

In addition to the above investments, Dikki said $357.7 million was expected to be injected into the distribution networks annually between now and 2017, which would amount to about N1.8 billion. Such capital outlay would be challenging given the Central Bank’s directive that banks should scale down funding in the power sector, while international lenders are said not to be favourably disposed to lending to Nigerians due to what they described as ‘volatile polity.’ However, the government in its usual characteristics has told electricity consumers 7 # @ @� ? who experienced power outage for 15 days in one month would no longer be required to # ?O„ # = respective distribution companies. However, the statement has been faulted by consumers. Mr. Dare Olowo has asked how will consumers justify that they had not used light for 15 days; who will listen to them? It is just political hara-kiri and lack of what to say, stressing that no consumer can take such statement serious.

Bridge-Head traders urge Gov Obiano to organise market leadership poll

T

raders at the Bridge-Head Market, Onitsha, have appealed to the Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano to conduct elections into the market’s leadership, to forestall future breach of the peace. Addressing newsmen in Onitsha, a grand patron of the market, Chief Bernard Nwizu, K K allowed to continue, it would disrupt the government’s security initiative. Nwizu lamented the constant intimidation of members of the market who had agitated for the conduct of election to replace the staying longer than necessary. “We need the election, especially now that

Also speaking, the leader of the lines chairmen, Mr Sunday Onwughara, appealed to Onitsha South Local Government Council chairman, to convince the governor on the need to conduct the election. ``This will save us from further embarrassment and lawlessness. Traders have the right to elect their own leaders who will be accountable to them as democracy demands,’’ Onwughara said.

Beyond the Bar Lawyers, duty bound to say the truth Ayodele Olalere

B

arrister Niyi Idowu has come a long way in the legal profession in Nigeria. Among his fellow practitioners, he is not a push-over. With his over 23 years experience at the Bar, Idowu seems to have seen it all. In 2006, he was elected chairman of one of the most vibrant branches of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) - Ikeja branch, popularly called the ‘Tiger’ branch, a position he held for two years. His tenure witnessed lots of changes, notable among which was the formation of the Elders Forum as well as the Youths Forum, which are still in operation to date. His administration also began the construction of a modern Bar Centre for the branch which is now nearing completion. Thus, his performance while serving as chairman earned him the respect of his colleagues who till date still hold him in high esteem. His vast experience as a lawyer cuts across various aspects of the profession, namely land, chieftaincy, criminal and civil matters. In all these, his expertise is not in doubt. A graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), while in school, Barrister Idowu was involved in unionism. He was a member of the Students Union Government (SUG) of the university and later held an important position at the national level as one of the top executives of the fiery National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS). At his expansive office in Omole Estate, Ikeja, he narrated his experiences over the 23 years he has spent in the profession. “Since I was called to the Bar in 1991, I have not been finding it too easy and too difficult either. Though I might not have made several millions of naira, I am contented with what God has given me,” he told Saturday Newswatch. As with every profession, Barrister Idowu said he has faced so many challenges. One of such happened when he was just learning the ‘trade’ as a young lawyer. According to him, though he was not afraid to appear before a judge for the first time, owing to his activism while still at the university, the challenges of expressing himself on points of law had always disturbed him. Said he: “In any profession or

venture, you are bound to have different challenges. The challenges so many young lawyers always go through is the issue of how to address the court but I was able to overcome it because I was in the student union when I was at the university; so the issue of having stage fright in addressing a gathering was not there. I was a union leader then even up to the NANS level. The only challenge I had was what to tell the court but with time, I overcame it. “At the university, I was at various times an officer of the Law Society, student union and NANS. I have had reasons to champion causes of fellow students. So, I found it easy to appear before a judge the first time I did. There was no issue of being jittery. I learnt something from my boss, Barrister Ishiaku Ibrahim, who is now a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and whose chamber I served. “He taught us that as a lawyer, the first thing you do when you get to any court is to know the judge. If I had not appeared in a jurisdiction before, the first thing I do is to meet lawyers who had appeared there to know the temperament of the judge - whether he is accommodating or not or whether he is the type that tolerates different ideas. Accommodating does not mean bending over backward to accept what is illegal. Some judges would not like a counsel to meet the registrar in the course of proceedings. With that, you won’t have any reason to be jittery as a first timer.” Asked how he developed interest in the profession, Barrister Idowu said his interest was fuelled when he was in Form 2 in the secondary school. As a young boy then, an event in which he was ‘involved’ made him appear before a court for the first time. “I could remember when I was in Form 2 in the secondary school in our native town in Ikere-Ekiti, Ekiti State (then Ondo State). A thief came to our house in the night and when people in the house raised alarm that somebody had entered the house to steal, the thief ran under my bed in my room while I was sleeping. I began to hear a strange noise under my bed. So, I woke up. I didn’t know somebody was there; I thought it was a rat. But when I heard the voices of the people in the house saying a stranger entered the house, it was then it dawned on me that the noise under my bed could that of the person.

Idowu

I was to give evidence and the magistrate then told me to speak English. I had to force myself to give evidence in English language

We brought the thief out, took him to the police station and he was charged to court. I happened to be a witness in the matter, which was before the magistrate court in AdoEkiti. I was to give evidence and the magistrate then told me to speak English. I had to force myself to give evidence in English language. When the case ended, the magistrate asked me and pointed to

the lawyers in the court if I liked the way the lawyers were dressed. I said yes and that fired the inspiration in me,” he said. He added: “Another thing is that my father had always encouraged me. In those days, lawyers were called letter writers; so it was a pride for a parent to have his son as a letter writer. My father also believed one of his children should be a letter writer; so indirectly, he was encouraging me. Incidentally, we had a counselling section in school handled by the late Barrister Oguntuase who used to come to our school once in a year and talked to us about career guidance. So being a lawyer, it was like he was encouraging all of us then to study law. Fortunately, most of the students who passed out of that school around that time eventually read law. By the time I was leaving secondary school, the High Court in my town had been created and anytime we were passing by, we used to see lawyers dressed neatly; so we fell in love with their costume.” In the course of handled so many cases, Idowu has come across lifethreatening situations. One thing is that he hates clients who give false information to their lawyers. Continued on page 78

Beyond the Bar

Lawyers, duty bound to say the truth Continued from page 77

Looking at cases he has handled, he said: “I don’t want zero on any particular case. I have been involved in lands matters, chieftaincy matters, criminal and others. What I do is to give any case I am handling seriousness. One thing I will not do is to encourage any client to present any falsified documents. It doesn’t bring out the lawyer in you. Facts must be presented as they were; so lawyers hold it a duty for their clients to say the truth.” He debunked the widespread belief that lawyers are liars. “Lawyers are limited by the briefs of their clients. If your client says ‘I didn’t do this,’ you cannot get to court and say he did it. Even though he did and comes to you that he did not do it, you cannot go against his or her brief particularly in criminal matter.” He narrated an incident: “I had once withdrawn from a criminal matter. We were in the course of trial and the accused’s confessional statement was about being tendered. When I showed it to him in the dock, he said he didn’t make the statement voluntarily, but that he was forced to make it. We went to trial within trial and I asked him how he was forced to make the statement. He said police hit him on the head and that he had to do surgery on the injury. The judge asked him to show the head where he did surgery but nothing indicated he really did it. There were no scars on his head. There and then, I told the judge I wanted to withdraw from representing the man, because I could not flow with him. So it is not about money. Money would come but one must maintain integrity. It was too evident the man must have told me many false things. As a lawyer, when you are taking a case to court, you must evaluate your chances of success. We owe our sincerity to God, not to turn white into black.” In the area of threat, there is no doubt that he has faced different threats to his life. “Threat comes in different ways. Sometimes, you come out of court and the opposing side, without the consent of their counsel may want to abuse you. I once had that experience in AdoEkiti. In fact, I rushed back to the courtroom to meet the judge. Sometimes, you meet physical threat in election matters. I was at Ilorin in 2007 for a senatorial election petition. Elections are always violent things and supporters sing war songs. In fact, I had to tell my driver to move from the driver’s seat for me to take over the steering

because the place was charged. We had to manoeuvre our way out of the place,” he explained. Barrister Idowu surely has won some cases while also losing others. On the ones he lost he said, “one should try as much as possible not to be too emotionally attached to a case though at times you cannot but be emotional especially when your client is being sentenced to death or terms of imprisonment. One thing I have seen is that for people coming from prison to court, they do ‘educate’ themselves. They fail to realise that the facts in case A is different from those in case B. They think that cases are presented the same way; so they tell each other what to say when they get to court. Even when you have discussed with your client, you will be surprised to see the man gets into the witness box and begins to say something else.” Reminiscing on his tenure as chairman of the Ikeja branch of the NBA from 2006 to 2008, he said: “It is only outsiders that can rate my tenure but I tried my best to lift the Bar. During my time, we started the Elders Forum, which is getting the elders involved in the activities of the Bar. We used to consult the elders before we did anything. Our administration was the first to invite auditors to scrutinise our account. We met N436, 000 but left N10.5 million in the account of the association. Till today, I still feel it is an honour done to me to lead the Bar. I don’t believe that I am the best. The outgoing executives tried their best and I believe that they have raised the bar of the branch. They can’t have 100 per cent performance but they have done

Idowu

well and I hope the incoming ones will do more.” Though his wife is not a lawyer, some of his children are already picking interest in the profession. “I believe the children are picking interest in the profession. One of my children always wants to follow me to the meeting of lawyers. Whenever she comes into my office, she loves seating in the library to read and ask law related questions. There are ways one can encourage them. One thing I don’t like is people forcing professions on their children,” he said. As busy as he is, Barrister Idowu still finds time for relaxation. One of his hobbies is watching football and Nigerian movies especially the Yoruba genre. Unlike many Nigerians who have adopted foreign football clubs as their preferred clubs, he prefers watching the Nigeria football league. His love for players in Nigerian league stemmed from the victory of the Super Eagles at the last African Cup of Nations where local players like Godfrey Oboabona and Sunday Mba performed well, culminating in Nigeria winning the tournament. “Nigerians don’t believe in taking time to rest and that is why people fall down unexpectedly and die. They don’t know their health status. Maybe because there is no amount of money you can make under the Nigeria economy that will last for long. So, people are always on the road. It is not peculiar to any

particular profession. I believe in watching movies particularly Yoruba films. I am not a good footballer but I love watching football. I don’t have a preferred foreign club. In fact, I prefer to support a Nigerian club. One funny thing I have seen in this country is that some people can analyse English league and clubs but cannot analyse any Nigerian club. We have good footballers in the local league at least they performed well at the last African Cup of Nations. Look at Sunday Mba and Oboabona; these are nice guys. You can see the power of wanting to serve one’s country when they met Cote D’Ivoire. To me, I never believed they could defeat them but because the Ivoriens underrated them and were so sure of defeating Nigeria, they brought their families to the stadium.” Barrister Idowu does not consider himself a rich man. His words: “To me, wealth is not measured by the amount of money you have but how many lives you are able to affect positively. “Being rich is relative; it is a matter of the mind. I thank God that I don’t lack anything. I believe that God has done for me more then what I prayed for financially and in everything. I may not have money to throw around but I am comfortable.” About his philosophy, he said “You don’t give up and nothing is too high to be given a trial. I don’t believe in submitting to defeat. You have to keep trying.

Politics

Nigerians are tired of bad leadership –Lame mobilising them to support 7 they have been yearning for. We are not coming do the money campaigns by giving the people money, and besides, we don’t even have the money to share to the people before they can support us. But, we will sell ideas to them which we believe they will buy.

Dr. Yakubu Lame is a former Police Affairs Minister and a one-time senator. A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lame’s body languagesuggests one nursing the Bauchi State governorship ambition on the platform of the party in the 2015 general elections. In this interview with NANKPAH BWAKAN, Lame exhibits unfriendly posture towards the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), vowing that the APC would oust the former in 2015. Excerpts: How do you see the conduct of the APC state congress? I believe the APC shall come out with a very credible team of leaders out of the aspirants. { # beginning of political stability has been established in Bauchi State because once the APC puts its structures on ground, real politics will begin by facing the PDP government. The party shall end all internal wrangling and face the real business of capturing power in 2015 across the 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja. The APC congress marks a political history and I am sure the exercise will be hitch-free nation-wide. What measures did the party put in place to forestall a repeat of electoral irregularities as obtained in the one that almost marred the wards’ congresses in the state? Complains were lodged up to look into areas where complaints existed. That is the measure we have adapted in addressing the problems arising from the word congress. We did that and it was successful; the > down with all the stakeholders to look into all the areas of dispute and we come to the conclusion that we need to forge ahead and that is why we are forging ahead. What should Nigeria look out for in the APC after the state congress? Nigerians should expect a more vigorous politicking. We will soon unfold our programmes and manifesto. We will tell Nigerians what we will do for them. We have realised that this country has collapsed and we believe some patriotic Nigerians who know what needs be done must come together and do it to make sure that this country is rescued. The APC has a programme, and I urge you to read our manifesto and action plan and you will see what we are going

to do. We have mapped out strategies to capture power. We will make Nigeria work and improve our economy such that it becomes functional. We have plans to make our institutions functional and guarantee the security of all Nigerians. We are coming to address issues of insecurity, unemployment as well as reduce corruption to a bearable level. The APC would build a society that guarantees the safety of all Nigerians irrespective of their religions, ethnic and political V # end the lingering confusion that has dragged Nigeria backwards to where it is today. We want to reduce the political bastardisation wherever there is so much confusion, and unless the APC is in government, we shall never get it right. What is the strength of the APC in Bauchi State? You can see the response of people that came out for this congress which is an indication of the acceptability of the party in the state. I can assure you that the APC will capture Bauchi State in the forthcoming elections and we # party will deliver the desired dividends of democracy to the masses if given the mandate by Nigerians. Because we want to get it right, we shall not allow rigging; we will not allow anybody to rig us out. The PDP has always been using extra electoral means to get into power; but we are experts in electoral processes. We know how rigging can be stopped; we are appealing to Nigerians to come out to defend their votes. This is one of the ways to stop rigging in the next general elections. I assure you that the APC will be the party to beat in Bauchi State and the entire country, come 2015. It was alleged that the APC was contemplating a Muhammadu Buhari/Bola Tinubu presidential ticket which would be a Muslim/Muslim › – • •

Lame arrangement could spell doom for the party? The APC is not a religious party and we are not discouraging anybody from practising his religion. We are going to build our party on the basis of competence, integrity and anybody that we believe is capable of pursuing these goals will be elected as our leader. We are not doing our campaign on the basis of Islam or Christianity or even South or North. We are basing our campaign on our programmes which

If the nation is to function, we must get the most competent hands; the most reliable, acceptable people, regardless of their religion. We will accept them and to tell our position. We have not decided on anybody as our presidential candidate for the forthcoming general election. In fact, we are U congresses. We believe and respect the rule of law and as such would follow due process. Therefore, our presidential candidate will emerge at the national convention. I can assure you that already the opposition parties shivering; they know they cannot withstand us on the basis of ideas and that is why they have started bringing the issue of religion to distablise us.

On the other hand, I want to say that the APC is a strong grassroots party and we have the political will to mobilise and accommodate every interest irrespective of any background.

and as I said earlier, after the congresses, we will all be in the @„! Why did your party seems to be capitalising on the security challenges in the country to score cheap political points? There is a problem in the North East; there is a problem of insecurity which has not been tackled. Young people had been taken away for many days; they have not been rescued and we are calling on government to do the right thing and then somebody will say we are capitalising on that? We are Nigerians; we are supposed to contribute to nation-building in whatever way we can and our leader, General Buhari made a very strong case by speaking on what must be done. So, how can they be contradicting themselves? President Goodluck Jonathan wrote to congratulate him. So, how can anybody from the PDP come and say the APC is capitalising on that? Nigeria is not safe as a result of failure on the side of government to address the spate of insecurity bedevilling the region and the entire country. We cannot understand why the situation is not being properly handled. I want to ? Ì strong (Boko Haram) members in our security forces who are highly trained and motivated. They can do the job; so, it is not the APC. It is those who are supposed to do their job that are not doing it.

Why Egbeda-Ona Ara lacks federal presence – Ogunniran Akinwale Ogunniran, a media practitioner and aspirant for the Egbeda-Ona Ara Federal constituency says he is on a mission to salvage his people from abandonment and lack of Federal government presence owing to alleged poor representation in the National Assembly. The University of Lagos graduate told Assistant Politics Editor, MANSUR OLADUNJOYE € ' can guarantee sound representation. Excerpts:

W

hat elective position are you nursing? The people in my area asked me to contest for the Egbeda-Ona Ara federal constituency in Ibadan, Oyo State, under the All Progressives Congress (APC) and I have given it a good thought and made wider consultations. I believe I am the right candidate. Who is the godfather? Many people have been asking me this question. I don’t have any godfather but my people are right behind me. What are the criteria that singled you out for this national assignment? My activities in my area and constituency earned me this honour to serve my people. I believe party elders and the masses can’t be wrong to say it is either me or no one else. Anyway, I have promised my people that I will perform. What happens to the incumbent representative? I don’t want to talk about the incumbent or anybody. I don’t want to castigate anybody. My task is to win the election and give a beautiful representation. How will you rate the incumbent’s performance? You are a journalist; please don’t quote me. Just go and conduct your own investigation and I am sure you will pity my people. What are your plans for Egbeda-Ona Ara? We are doing serious empowerment now, and before now, we have been doing Ogunniran Adewale Movement to encourage people in their businesses and they are appreciating this. On health, we realised that minor health slips have killed my people and for this I ensure that monthly free health facilities are provided

for them and where we see major ailments, we refer them to government hospital. We are doing a lot on education too. We are only trying to support the Governor Abiola Ajimobi government that has practically transformed the state. We don’t believe that governance should be left for the ignoramus and nonentity because governance is a serious business. But you are going to be a lawmaker that does not control vote. How then do you hope to raise fund for all the programmes you have listed for your people? We have constituency allowance to do certain things for our constituencies. * sponsors to consider us in their corporate social responsibility activities to communities. Can you imagine that my area has not had light for two years now? It is funny. All this I shall correct when elected. Let’s talk legislative business. • • • $ I cannot tell my area of priority now because I am sure there will be wider consultation but I shall focus

7 # people. Do you share same view with those condemning the ongoing National Conference? Well, i am a loyal party man. I stand by my party’s position that it is uncalled for; it a waste of tax payers’ money for each person to get N12 million while majority of the people are languishing in abject poverty. We all know that we have a blueprint for housing, education and other sectors. I wonder why we couldn’t follow the blueprint. The National Conference is good but let us have a sovereign national conference. Now, the pathetic aspect of it

Ogunniran is that, after all the exercise, the National Assembly will still ratify it. What if the lawmakers throw the recommendations out? I think we need a national sovereign conference to discuss issues. I agree that the representatives at the conference are people of integrity; they are the 7 # > they are people of timber and calibre, but what about the implementation of recommendations of the confab? So, your fear is not with the confab but the money the representatives collect and the implementation of recommendations?

We realised that minor health slips have killed my people and for this I ensure that monthly free health facilities are provided for them and where we see major ailments, we refer them to government hospital

I am not afraid of the money they collect, no! My utmost fear is the implementation of the recommendations of the conference. What if the €  7 the recommendations of the confab? How would you react to the Chibok kidnap? Very sad! I wonder if we have security in this country at all. Imagine where bomb blast occurred two weeks ago, and we are recording another bomb explosion again this week again. Do you know that in the area, soldiers were fully on ground checking vehicular movements to prevent reoccurrence of the last two weeks’ event? Alas! Another bomb exploded within two weeks, it is unfortunate. We may ask what was the essence of blocking the roads and harassing the people going their normal businesses. Security in the area is suspicious and I think those in power have questions to answer. I also wonder how 276 students could be kidnapped without security personnel being involved. It is unbelievable. But if we talk, some people will say because the President is from the minority. I wonder what minority has to do with good governance. I am sure that the Federal Government has failed. What chance does your party have to capture the presidency in 2015? There is no doubt about that. The APC is going to be the party to beat in 2015 because it is the fastest growing party in Africa. Let them conduct a free and fair election where votes # wonders in 2015.

party can ensure it success in the forthcoming governorship election. He noted that disunity among the leaders of the PDP might be the obstacle to the party’s quest to win the governorship election in the state in 2015. “The disunity among PDP leaders can be an obstacle to the party’s quest to wrest power from the All Progressive Congress led administration in the state. According to Yabo, “such for the PDP, especially now that the party was poised to wrest power from the APC.� “The leadership of the PDP in the state must drop their personal ambition and work as a team to make the party strong and stable. This is necessary in order to clinch the governorship election in 2015,� Yabo averred. He advised the PDP leadership in the state to refrain from undue scramble for positions at the detriment of the party’s objectives by working assiduously to strengthen the party. But one of the party leaders, Alhaji Muhammad Arzika Tambuwal, in his submission during a maiden stakeholders meeting in Sokoto, believed the party can surmount the challenges before 2015. He explained that all other opposition parties had withered away while PDP survived various crises since 1999 and also waxing stronger. He noted that many personalities who left the party in the past had returned to its fold and as such, Wamakko’s defection to APC was of no 7 ! “As you are aware, in 1998, PDP won 16 out of the 23 local government councils in the state. So, we are not worried that Wamakko has defected to APC,� he added. “We have analysed the wisdom of moving to another party. We recall that APC emerged out of the sickness and demise of APP to CPC and # *~K! “Similarly, AD became AC, *K? # into APC. It is obvious that PDP survived all this while because it has spread and the capacity to do so�, he explained to the audience’s delight. He reasoned that till now, PDP founding fathers like former President Olusegun Obasanjo is still in the party and urged all loyal members to remain steadfast.

Marriage myths you sh

How to make sex easy for your wife continued from last week This same thought is what is carried into marriage by most men. Thus, they want and demand sex from their wives as often as they are opportune. Unfortunately, the wives are not easily ready for sex because of their physiological make up as well. Thus, there is always a bone of contention in the marriage, since the husband is eagerly ready for sex, while the wife is not readily available. Readiness to meet her need for love If the wife will therefore be readily available to have sex with her husband, he must be ready to meet her primary need of love. That is, he must focus on loving her as a key to having sex with her. If he misses this point easy to have sex with him at all, not to talk of having great sex with him. This is the game adulterous men play on wives. They give ears, do body contact with them from time to time by way of hugging among others. All these are to tell the wives I love you. And when a woman is convinced of a man’s love for her, it becomes easy for her to have sex with him. What therefore should husbands do to make sex easy for their wives? They should follow suit by showering their love on their wives. To do this, they should 7 =! 5 7 # day, and not on the days you want sex from ! " } ! Q Q

marriages. { fundamental and suitable; others have a blurred vision of the traditions set by our ancestors. These days, many couples break these rules and live perfectly happy. Here are some of the rules you needn’t follow any more. 1. Always sleep together These days, couples have to sleep in separate

The research found the reasons for sleeping 7 7 habits (43 percent), such as going to bed at 7 watch TV/read in bed; to one partner snoring (36 per cent), or simply preferring to sleep in separate beds (20 percent). However, despite causing issues within the z_ # # 9

they slept alone. William Dement, a physician and professor of Psychiatry and Behavioural Science at Stanford University who holds doctorates in Physiology and Sleep Medicine, suggests sleep disturbances are highly individual. “The same things that don’t bother some people really do bother others.� If your awakenings come from physical jostling, consider a larger bed. “We’ve done studies with couples, and if the bed is big enough, there really is no disturbance at all,� says Dr. Dement. “But if #9 7 Œ L ‚ other person.� Do not feel upset if you face such a thing because it’s not a signal of your love going sour. Just enjoy the possibility to sleep separately like you did as a kid. Try to revive new feelings, and spend more time together.

divorce rates go up over time with 13.9 percent of couples in the study having busted up at the three-year mark, 29 percent at year seven and 46.1 percent at year 16.

I have embarrassing pimples

I

am a 16-year-old boy and I have pimples on my face. It is quite embarrassing for me because I am so conscious of it. How do I deal with these pimples? I don’t want them to disfigure me. Oreofe, Otta Oreofe, Acne vulgaris, commonly known as acne or pimples, is a skin disease commonly found in growing teens and kids. It is completely normal, so don’t feel ashamed that dozens of pimples and blackheads are appearing on you. Learn to wash your face twice a day. Recent studies found that washing your face once or twice a day can help reduce the appearance of acne on your face and neck. It also helps cleaning out your pores from dirt and sweat, which can cause more pimples. Another way to deal with pimples is to keep eating healthy. Keep on eating those delicious fruits and vegetables, which have minerals, which provide healthier skin, and just like washing your face, eating healthy reduces acne. I guess you have friends that are the same age as you. Most likely, they have acne too. Talk to them about how you feel about your acne, and once you finally realise that pretty much everyone gets pimples and blackheads, you will feel better about your skin. If you are really bothered, you could see a doctor. Sometimes mild types of acne can actually be a medical condition, that can be treated with over-the-counter or prescription medications – topical creams and lotions or some tablets. Agreed, sometimes it can be very difficult to get rid of acne. Be patient and remember that the vast majority of us have it at some point in our lives.

Surveillance Four robbers bag 21 Okada rider dares years imprisonment robbers, foils operation A Tunde Busari

It would not be out of place to call an Ibadanbased commercial motorcycle operator a hero for defying gunwielding suspected armed robbers and spoiling their fun. TUNDE BUSARI reports.

A

suspected three-man robbery gang, which had thought that a commercial motorcycle operator, Sulaimon Olanrewaju, would join the list of their many victims, were however, disappointed and indeed, shocked some weeks ago when he stood up to them. With their gun pointing at him, Olanrewaju maintained his cool, but unexpectedly turned round to put up a strong resistance to the force of the robbers. Though he lost his precious motorcycle, his source of livelihood, which the leader of the gang, Wale Adedeji escaped with, he slugged it out with Laolu Oyehan and Nuru | # # gun. The dramatic wrestling caught \ * neighbourhood, which assisted him to overpower the suspects and led them to Yemetu Divisional Police Headquarters. While the whole episode was playing out, the leader of the gang had arrived Sabo, an Hausa quarters two kilometres away, to sell the motorcycle. “When I could not reach them

through their mobile lines, I knew they had run into trouble. I quickly sold the bike for N20, 000, and left the place to avoid any problem,� Adedeji said. At the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), Dugbe, where Oyehan and Faniyi had been transferred, the duo gave a graphic account of the failed

Oyehan revealed that he was once remanded at Agodi prison two years ago.“I was released after spending six months in the prison. But the guys I 7 robbery simple to me. So, when I came out, nothing was more interesting to me than robbing. That was how I met these new partners, and formed the gang,� he said.

If not for the kind of judiciary we run in this country, somebody like him should not be allowed to return to the world of the innocent. He should be kept in prison for ever. They are the ones that frustrate our work,� a source said. ~ ~ ' \V \# State Command, Olabisi OkuwobiIlebanefor, a Superintendent of Police, described the suspects as unrepentant and enemies of the society. Regardless of their seeming obstinacy to decent life, the PPRO said the law must take its course. “Since there is a procedure, which we follow, the suspects would still be returned to the court after investigation. If this is the path they have chosen to tread, we will continue to refer them to where they belong, which is court of law,� she said.

Kidnapping: Osun herbalist escapes death Tunde Busari

S

Saturday Newswatch gathered that the 32-year-old man who goes about Gbongan township offering prayers from street to street, suddenly found himself surrounded by a group of boys shouting and accusing him of hunting for kids to abduct. While the mob were looking for tyre and kerosene to burn the man, the police came and quickly dispersed them.

Police Public Relations Officer, Osun State Command, Folashade Odoro, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, expressed her regret over the turn of event since the news of

kidnappers in some towns broke few months ago. “Can you just imagine that when our men got to the scene of the crime, they did not see any victim about to be kidnapped. There was nobody who complained that his or her child was kidnapped from the scene of the crime. The suspect was confirmed to be a resident of Apata area, Gbongan and an herbalist, “Odoro said. The PPRO also said that detectives had carried out what she called a ‘comprehensive investigation.’ “As I am speaking now, there is no evidence to link the suspect to kidnapping case. It is therefore, imperative to inform the public so that innocent citizens would not be killed by people who take laws into their own hands without verifying the facts,� she said.

Kaita dismisses Sharks’ title credentials F

ormer Nigeria inter ! Sani Kaita, marked his debut for six-time Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) champions, Enyimba FC on match day 11 in the 1-1 draw against Sharks in Port Harcourt on Wednesday. The 28-year-old started against the Blue Angels but was later substituted and he has now taken the time to 3

NPFL since 2005. “I thank God. I am really happy to be back. I am happy with my debut,� he told supersport.com. Enyimba battled from a goal down to claim a point against the leaders but Kaita insists he was gunning for maximum points with the People’s Elephant. “It was a good result considering that Sharks are y at the top p table and currently

the game was played in Port Harcourt. “My teammates worked hard (for the point). The team played well. I thank the

Sharks currently lead the standings of the NPFL with 19 points from 11 matches but Kaita predicts they will not last long at the summit. “I think they (Sharks) have a good team but I don’t think they are strong enough to win the title. For one, I believe Enyimba is better than the Sharks team we played against yesterday,� he said to supersport on Thursday. Kaita earned 24 caps for Nigeria between 2005 and 2010.

eartland FC coach Kelechi Emetole has assured fans of the club that his team will continue to improve as the league progresses. The Naze Millionaires beat Giwa FC 1-0 on Wednesday to record their second win of the season, and Emetole believes that his team who are on a seven game unbeaten run are a work in progress. Emetole noted that the reason for his team’s poor start to the season is premised on the little time he had to prepare the team, having taken charge of the team only two weeks before the resumption of

the current season. “I came into Heartland two weeks before the commencement of the league season and I did not have time to prepare the team, what I’m supposed to do with the team in pre-season is what we’re doing now and it’s working,� he said in a radio interview.

ometimes it is challenging to be a Nigerian. I get to travel outside the country once in a while. Often, the image of my country puts me in some uncomfortable position and I find myself struggling to defend the integrity of the nation. When the military were in power, I got embarrassed severally in foreign fora as people made uncharitable remarks about my country. They accused the entire nation of being corrupt and wanted me to explain why corruption was rife in Nigeria. I made strenuous efforts to explain that there were many more Nigerians that were not corrupt than those that were corrupt. At other times, Nigeria was painted in the International media as a country of drug pushers and I was hard pressed to explain that it was only very few Nigerians that were in the illicit drug business and that most Nigerians did not know what cocaine or heroin looked like, let alone consume or traffic in narcotic substances. Those were the days when, each time a flight arrived from Lagos, the airport arrival was filled with sniffer dogs. I faced the greatest challenge when General Sani Abacha(now deceased) was in power, especially after the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Everywhere I went and identified myself as a Nigerian, I was immediately attacked as if I was privy to the execution. Matters got worse when the Commonwealth of Nations placed embargo on Nigeria and the green passport became a burden. Things only improved when the Nigerian football teams won trophies at international competitions, then the pressure was let off and people had positive things to say about my country. When Olusegun Obasanjo came to power and travelled around the whole world to show a new Nigerian face, followed by his effort to confront corruption especially through the instrumentality of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the attack and the stereotyping declined significantly. Even our ranking on the Global Corruption Perception Index improved somewhat, and I found out that we were better treated at International airports. Since then, I have had mixed experiences but did not have cause to complain much except for the unfairly longer times it took immigration officers to clear Nigerians visiting countries like South Africa, the U.K and the U.S.A. When I enquired, I

The paradox that is Nigeria discovered that it had to do with another of our stereotypes, that of overstaying our welcome in these countries. Not only did several Nigerians overstay, some remained back permanently as illegal aliens. So despite the effort to limit Nigerians by denying many entry visas including tortuous and punitive procurement procedures, those who pass through the proverbial needle’s eye are now made to swear oaths that they would not overstay or disappear into thin air if admitted. But when I arrived at Houston Texas in the United States early this week, the immigration officer engaged me in a long discussion concerning Boko Haram and the kidnapped girls. It was like ‘I hope you are not coming here to kidnap our girls’. When I kind of convinced him that I could not be in that kind of business, he asked why we have been unable to get the girls released. I tried my best to convince him that our security forces were doing their best. The way he looked at me showed that he was not impressed. It

was like saying ‘you guys ought to stay home and get the girls released instead of coming here for whatever reason’. He eventually stamped my passport and let me enter. I thought the ordeal was over. Then I arrived at the Reliant Stadium where the Oil Technology Conference(OTC) was going on and found that many people were angry at Nigeria: ‘How come they will kidnap 234 girls for over 3 weeks and you guys ain’t doing anything’ seemed to be the question on many people’s lips. I laboured to offer explanation, but the next day I was assaulted with the news that not only had Shekau or whoever he was on the video had boasted that ‘Allah had instructed him to sell the girls’ but that another set of 8 girls had been kidnapped. I lost my voice. Later that evening I ran into a group of Nigerians in Houston and the discussion centered on three paradoxical developments. First was the Rebased Nigeria’s GDP which now made the country the biggest Economy in Africa and the 26th in the world

How can the country with the largest economy still harbour the largest number of the poorest people in Africa? I tried to explain that it was a game of numbers, but my audience insisted that it is a game of a small proportion of Nigerians grabbing all the wealth of country and yet Nigeria, according to the World Bank, is one of the poorest countries in the world. How can the country with the largest economy still harbour the largest number of the poorest people in Africa? I tried to explain that it was a game of numbers, but my audience insisted that it is a game of a small proportion of Nigerians grabbing all the wealth of country and leaving the vast majority with little or nothing. Second was that Nigeria, represented by NNPC, had the largest contingent to the OTC - as they have done for several years - but Nigeria really had nothing to show or exhibit at the Conference. Visit to the other country exhibition stands showed certain new Technology or process on display. In the Brazilian Pavilion, for example, I saw a Solarpowered turbine. What was on display in the Nigerian Pavilion was just Nigerians milling around and backslapping. Third was that, despite the security situation in Nigeria, Foreign Direct Investment( FDI) is still flowing into the country at a surprisingly high rate, and indeed despite the security scare accentuated by the recent twin bombings in Nyanya, Abuja, the World Economic Forum Africa (WEFA) was holding in Abuja with a sizeable foreign participation. My country, a true paradox where the best has failed to happen, and the worst does not seem to happen either.
