INSURGENCY

Our frustrations, by Jonathan Boko Haram’s reign of terror is over – Oyedepo Cameroon kills over 100 insurgents Clement Nwoji, Abuja

P

resident Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, lamented that the current security challenges confronting the country is being compounded by acts of internal and external sabotage. The President said the situation had consistently frustrated dressing the security challenges instigated by the outlawed Islamic sect, Boko Haram. President Jonathan spoke while having audience with members of the Creative Professionals of Nigeria led by Mr. Segun Arinze, who were at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to pledge their support to the administration. The President, who however assured Nigerians of government’s commitment to addressing development and security challenges said: “We have challenges even in our infrastructure but we are committed to addressing them, especially in >>Continued on Page 2

Our frustrations, by Jonathan Continued from Page 1 areas like ports, roads and power. “One of our greatest challenges - and I have to thank you for observing that one minute of silence in their honour (victims of insurgency) - is this issue of security. But we are working very hard. We have our frustrations; we have issues of sabotage both internal and external but we are working very hard and by the grace of God, we will overcome.� Jonathan further appreciated the group for its support to his administration. The President’s visitors presented him a giant portrait, which contained their signatures as a sign of their endorsement of his second term bid for the presidency. He said: “We appreciate the gift because for all of you to give us your creative signature, this will be a lasting memory in our archives. Even if I die, this will be displayed.

“Yes there are challenges, every government has challenges but when a government is in place, the government should be encouraged. “It is not a military rule that their tenure is not known. Now, every gov ure and at the end of the tenure, you re-market yourself if the law allows for a second tenure as it is in our constitution. After that, you must go.� The President appreciated the contributions of the creative professionals to the nation’s Gross Domestic Products (GDP) in terms of revenue generation and creation of employment opportunities for the teeming population. “And of course, in terms of the economy, you are adding so much to the GDP now. Before, it was a sector that was not even regarded but you have created many jobs directly and indirectly. It’s only the pirates that con-

stitute a problem to us. So, you are a group we must adore; we must appreciate; true ambassadors actually if we talk about your members outside Nigeria. “Yes, we have oil. Now, we are talking about budget. Everyday we are shifting the benchmark upward and downward because you can never predict the price of crude oil. “But as an economy that is based on a primary commodity, you will always have that problem and that is one of the key things about transformation. We must move from an economy based on primary commodities to one based on creativity and knowledge because the creative mind of a person does not move downwards, rather it goes upwards. “So, what you bring into

or the price volatility of primary commodities like crude oil, solid minerals,

diamond and all that. “We are proud of you; the country is happy with you and we want to especially thank you for coming to give us that reassurance. “You have been very supportive of this government because of your creative minds, and that is what it should be because a government must be encouraged to work for the people. “You have been encouraging the government and we will request that you continue to encourage government that way because that is the only way government will continue to work for the people. Government is meant to serve the people. “For the two of you who spoke about the little assistance we rendered through your leaders who drew our attention to the fact that you needed assistance, you are Nigerians and we are working for this country,� President Jonathan said.

Cameroon kills over 100 Boko Haram militants

ore than 100 members of the Boko Haram militant group were killed after Cameroonian forces raided the northern town of Amchide near the Nigerian border along the Borno State axis. “About 300 to 400 Boko Haram militants arrived the town last night and opened 7 8

Boko Harm’s reign of terror is over – Oyedepo Tope Olukole

G

eneral Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has prophesied the imminent end of Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria. Oyedepo stated this yesterday, during the ministry’s annual Shiloh programme at the church head quarters in Canaan land, Otta, Ogun State. He declared: “Today Friday

12th December 2014 marks the end of the harassment of Boko Haram in Nigeria,� insisting that the country has been delivered from the fundamentalists. Oyedepo continued: “I am sponsored by no one; I am a servant of the most high and except I am not sent would you ever hear again of these terrorists’ mindless killings in the country. Their end has finally come,� the fiery preacher pro-

nounced. Oyedepo, 60, took time to rain curses on politicians as well as saboteurs in the army who have compromised the war against terror. He equally cursed the sponsors, masterminds, informants and executioners of the murderous gang, vowing that the last attack on any Church is the last the country would ever hear about.

We don’t keep two account books – NNPC Charles Okonji

T

he Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has raised strong objection to the allegation of fraud levelled against it by former Head of State and presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC), General Muhammadu Buhari

(rtd), describing it as a “political mischief�. Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ohi Alegbe, in a statement yesterday in Abuja, said coming from a former Minister of Petroleum under whose watch a similar allegation of fraud was made, Buhari’s “statement smacks of political mischief as

he should know better than to peddle beer palour gossip as facts.� Alegbe said: “It is sad that General Buhari, one of the founding fathers of the NNPC who himself has tasted of the virulent but false allegations deliberately concocted to cast the Corporation and the public sector management of the nation’s oil and gas industry in bad light, would be the one to allege that NNPC runs two sets of account books, ‘one for public consumption and another for insiders’. “We consider General Buhari’s allegation in bad taste as it is nothing but a deliberate political mischief calculated to cast the Corporation in opprobrium, all in a bid to shore up his political capital. <^ '

to understand how a former Head of State who had also served as Minister of Petroleum Resources could believe that NNPC keeps two sets of account books to perpetrate fraud, knowing that NNPC is the most audited and scrutinized agency in the country. “In the past one year alone, the Corporation has had its books scru-

tinized and audited by the Senate Committee on Finance and an external auditor, PriceWaterhouseCooper (PWC). Is it possible for the accounting discrepancies insinuated by General Buhari to escape the attention of such internationally acclaimed auditors? “And in any case, why would an alleged fraudulent Corporation keep two sets of accounting books knowing that it could be used as evidence against it? “We hereby state emphatically that NNPC neither keeps two sets of account books nor is aware of the existence of such, as the Corporation is run in line with international best practice. “If General Buhari believes that such false information that are usually the subject of beer parlour gossip was true, would he rather that the Nigerian public believe that the allegation of missing $2.8 billion oil money against the NNPC under his watch as Minister of Petroleum was true?� Alegbe queried. Thus the Corporation urged the public to discountenance the allegation, insisting that there is no iota of truth in it.

Ogah rejects Abia PDP guber primary Boniface Okoro, Umuahia

P

resident of Masters Energy, Dr Uche Ogah, has rejected the outcome of Abia State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship primary held in Umuahia last Monday. Ogah, who came second in the contest with 103 votes, claimed that the whole exercise was fraught with fraud, adding that he would " S public next week. A close source revealed that Ogah may have forwarded a petition to the PDP Apeal Panel against the outcome of the Abia PDP governorship primary, which saw the emergencee of Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu. Details of the petition were not available at press time, but Ogah said at his Onuaku Uturu country

home a day after the Abia PDP guber primary that the entire exrecise was a sham, insisting there was no credible and proper accreditiation of delegates who participated in the primary. “I know there was no formal accreditation and people were given tags just to go and vote. Everything inAbia is fraud, why? Everything, from beginning to end,� he said. “The delegates that came for the primary can be hired thugs. Can you imagine that some of the people brought in cannot write their names and that person is a delegate from Abia? In this 21st Century, we cannot produce elegible people literate enough to elect a representative; you have security men, stewards, and these people are delegates? I have never seen such a thing before,� he added.

Nigeria needs competent coach

W

hen the decision to do away with the services of Coach Steven Keshi as Nigeria interim coach came, many Nigerians welcomed it as a necessary step to speed up our quest of qualifying for next year’s nation cup in Morocco. After the crises that bedevilled the current Nigerian Football Federation, all football stakeholders were expected another coach for our national team. When Nigeria hosted the Sudanese national team at the Abuja national stadium, in spite of the Super Eagles winning by 3-1, we saw how fans chased the coaching crew of national team to vent their anger on the poor performances of our national team. The intervention of President Goodluck Jonathan to forcefully impose Coach Steven keshi on our national team did not go down well with many

football fans across the country. We quietly appreciate the fact that Coach Steven keshi was not given any contract as the coach of our national team; this would enable the NFF to source a competent coach for our national team. = * Coach Steven Keshi would spell doom for our quest to made impact at both continental and world soccer. It is a well known fact that in spite of his re-instatement as coach to pilot I U ? 2015 edition of the Nations Cup in Morocco, Coach Steven keshi still insists on inviting tired legs that have been his bane. Nigerian needs a competent coach to steer our soccer team to the highest and optimal level in other to compete favourably with advance football nations of the world.

Buhari’s records, words are By Kayode Ojo

I

t is unfortunate that some public commentators still feel a need to resort to using indecorous languages when discussing retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari, a former military dictator and leading presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC). If for nothing else, Buhari, at 72, is a Nigerian elder who deserves to be accorded the respect that all Nigerian communities accord their elders. True, there are times when Buhari himself fails to speak or act like an elder. Despite that, we cannot take away what God, in His mercies, has granted the man; the privilege of living to become an elder. Those who are in support of Buhari’s desire to ascend the nation’s presidency are fond of pointing to his anti-corruption record when he was a military dictator who truncated the democratically-elected government of President Shehu Shagari in 1983. For what it is worth, it must be conceded that this much-vaunted anti-corruption record is a good starting % I *

87 year-old Buhari leading a military dictatorship and a 72 yearold Buhari chasing a civilian presidency do not quite resolve in the retired General’s favour. On the other hand, for those who are against Buhari’s present-day ambition, it is also to his records words that they should turn; there should be no room for rude or inappropriate language. In Buhari’s records and words; * " Nigerians shudder that the former military dictator would once again present himself as a potential presidential candidate

= ; The present-day Buhari, that is the 72-year-old chasing a civilian presidency, said recently in an interview that he is not opposed to a Muslim-Muslim ticket, implying that Christians in the country should either live with it or perhaps go and form their own country. In his words: “...the question of this Muslim-Muslim ticket, although it was a long way from Abiola and Kingibe [in 1993], all the same, I have not absolutely closed my mind....� That an elder like Buhari fails to see how insensitive these words are is an indication that he may, unfortunately, have a hangover from his days as a military dictator. Even though former President Olusegun Obasanjo, while not addressing Buhari directly, has pooh-poohed the MuslimMuslim ticket idea, it certainly cannot register with the APC

presidential aspirant. This is because, as a military dictator, Buhari did exactly as he wished and picked Brigadier (later Major-General) Tunde Idiagbon, a fellow Muslim, as his & ! I ! # U ; If Buhari, the military dictator, saw nothing wrong in him, a Muslim, having another Muslim as his deputy, it is a wonder that people expect him today to now reconsider his position, more so, after having thrice, as he rationalised, chosen Christian running mates and failed to win in 2003, 2007 and 2011.

Yuletide:Trade booms despite austerity measures Abiodun Awogbemi

T

here has been an increase in trading activities across the country in anticipation of the forthcoming Yuletide. This has been witnessed in major markets across the country with the exception of some towns in the North East due to the security situation of the region. At the popular CMS and Broad Street in Lagos, most warehouses have been loaded with goods from Asian countries. According to Newswatch Times investigation, activities at the Nigerian borders have also increased as traders are struggling to catch-up

with sales either from Nigeria or from neighbouring countries. A trans-border trader, Soule Mensah, told Newswatch Times that he brought in some Akosombo Ankara materials from the popular Balogun Market in Accra, Ghana, to sell at major Lagos markets, and would, in return buy some goods that are Christmas related to sell in Ghana. Mensah said that Nigeria is fast becoming a hub of trading in West Africa as any imaginable product can be found in the Nigerian market, but warned that a trader has to be vigilant so as not to buy fake and substandard products because both original and substandard products compete in the markets. Another trans-border trader, Adjat Akpata from Tokpa market, Republic of Benin, disclosed that she always export rice to Nigeria and import

consumables to Republic of Benin. According to her, the news of " I % % has been a source of concern to most traders in other countries as it sometimes suggests that all parts of Nigeria is under siege. “Sometimes, it was gathered that Nigerian government has been overrun by insurgents, and now it seems there is no government in Nigeria. The news about Nigeria in the international scene is horrible; I told some people while I was in the Gambia that I would be visiting Nigeria to trade, and they were like thinking that I am going to a death’s den,� she said. Newswatch Times accosted one of the expatriate traders, a Chinese called Yuan Jiang along Apogbon, Lagos, who disclosed that he has been in the country for a while. He said he

He lamented the high level of corruption in terms of bribery, which according to him can rob any investor ; “We came in to set up a tomato paste industry in one of the towns in Delta State; we were well prepared with our Nigerian partners who felt that the Federal and state governments will be happy and enthusiastic about the investment.

It was gathered that virtually all the goods brought in by the Asians can be found in other major markets across the country.

ITF trains 37,000 youths in 2 years

T

he Industrial Training Fund, (ITF) said it has trained 37,000 youths in collaboration with Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) and Bank of Industry (BoI) in two years. According to the organisation, the training was carried out under the National Industrial Skills Development Programme, (NISDP) which was introduced by the Federal Government in year 2012. ITF director-general, Dr. Juliet Chukkas-Onaeko, made this known in Lagos, during an interactive forum with industry stakeholders organised by ITF. She disclosed that the theme of the forum, ‘Moving forward and succeeding together’ is apt and a clarion call for all stakeholders to join in the organisation’s strides towards developing and industrializing the country. Onaeko pointed out that no nation develops by merely exporting raw materials without having a booming industrial sector, saying that for this to happen an adequate number of skilled workforce as a pre-requisite is needed. She added that the Fund came up with a four point agenda to increase the number of its trainee to two million annually, fully automate ITF business processes and ensuring 100 per cent of the collection training contributions and implementation of Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). She added that the four point I % service delivery that will add value =

“Furthermore, as part of our commitment to building the capacity of middle level manpower in Nigeria, the ITF in conjunction with Nigeria Employers Consultative Association (NECA) has set up a Technical Skills Development Project (TSDP),� she said. She stated that “the project which currently runs in the facilities of NECA member companies, Peugeut Automobile of Nigeria (PAN) Kaduna, Niger Dock Lagos, Nigerian Breweries and ITF ISTCs in Ikeja and Kano is set

to be expanded to more facilities in order to accept more trainees.� Onaeko pointed out that there is an increased in the patronage of ITF programmes, payment of training contributions and acceptance of students on SIWES. She however appealed to other companies that had failed in their statutory duties to do so, saying “it is only when we collectively live up to our responsibilities that our dream of a great Nigeria will be achieved.�

Mortgage financing as panacea for housing challenge A recent World Bank report put the number of Nigerians without a home at 30 million. While the prices of building materials have skyrocketed, the government has consecrated on building only the super rich can afford. The situation has led to calls by some Nigerians address the country’s housing needs. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

T

hree things, they say is essential to human life, and they are food, shelter and clothing. In Nigeria, inadequate habitable houses for the middle class and lower income earners have been a major challenge. Many Nigerian families either live under the bridges or reside in ‘houses’ not habitable in comparison to what is obtainable in Europe or the United States of America. The landlords in major cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, Warri and others require would-be tenants to pay at least two years advance rent, while their existing tenants are expected to pay a year rent in advance, or they will be ejected from their apartments. Most landlords in major cities review their rents upwards every year, without a care if their tenants get salary increment or not on a yearly basis.

Etopidiok added that lack of uniform mortgage underwriting standards, cumbersome and protracted litigations usually leads to “dead capital� that requires urgent resurrection. Stakeholders in the mortgage and housing sectors who spoke to Newswatch Times said the government only pays lip service to housing provisions for Nigerians. They contended that government’s housing units are too expensive, I against the masses that such houses were meant for. According to them, government housing units are sold for millions of naira, adding that the agencies

Mr. Ernest Tamuno, a civil servant, while speaking to Newswatch Times recently in Lagos, contented that many houses built by government agencies were not occupied because they are too expensive. According to him, “Visit Abuja and high brow areas of Lagos, you will see many beautiful houses not habited by people, while millions of families live in one room face-me-I-face-you apartments in slums in major cities. He lamented the none existence of mortgage institutions in Nigeria, which has resulted in the inability of many families to exist without shelter, adding that government establishments which claimed to be operating a mortgage business expect Nigerians to out rightly pay for the expensive houses, as against what is obtained in other countries of the

In Tamuno’s words, “Many Nigerian workers do not have a house of their own many years after they have worked.

In this way, workers who % % = amount on a monthly basis for years, in contrast to the Nigerian situation. As a result, many houses built by the local mortgage institutions are not habited for many years, while many families live under the bridges. “Most of the houses government claimed to have built for Nigerians were hijacked by politicians and senior civil servants, who resold them at exorbitant prices to helpless Nigerians. Most of the houses government termed ‘low cost’ are too expensive for the average Nigerian worker, forcing them to rather live in the slums many kilometers away from the cities,� Tamuno said. Many Nigerians who spoke to Newswatch Times agreed that Nigeria currently does not have what they termed ‘proper mortgage institutions,’ stressing that the few companies and government’s agencies that termed themselves ‘mortgage companies’ were mere companies that buy acres of land, build houses and sell at expensive price to rich people who can I ; They appealed to government to encourage mortgage institutions to run a proper mortgage institution, by providing houses the masses can I the payment terms as it is obtained in other parts of the world. To the analyst, the recently introduced austerity measure would further worsen the housing challenges of many Nigerians, whose income is unable to provide them with decent accommodation or houses of their own many years after being engaged.

In the case of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the results of the intraparty elections were full of surprises and shock, such that some aspirants and their agents who were visibly on ground rejected the results rather than exhibit the spirit of sportsmanship and join others to plan and work for further advancement of the party. For instance, in Lagos State, for the PDP, the people’s candidate, Pharmacist Jimi Agbaje who joined the % * general support of party leadership and other faithful who apparently believe in his capability and prowess, pinned the former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro down with 432 votes as against 343. Newswatch Times reliably learnt that Agbaje, within his short arrival in the party has contributed immensely to the acceptance of the party in Lagos and

Undoubtedly, the emergence of Ambode has wrapped up the speculation about who succeeds Governor Fashola in 2015 between the candidates of Tinubu and Governor Fashola. According to the chairman of the Lagos State Governorship Primary & =

The poor showing of his candidate * = machinery of Tinubu in the state. In Rivers State, Wike, one of the many ministers that resigned from President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet to contest the race under the PDP is the only one in that cadre that won the contest amid tight security. Speaking after the result’s announcement, Wike noted: “My victory is victory for democracy. I will reclaim the stolen mandate of the PDP and recover what is rightly ours in Rivers State. The era of rascality and impunity has cost Rivers State dearly. Today, the state enjoys a pariah status.� However 17 aggrieved aspirants described the primary as a sham, saying the whole pre-voting process was meant to produce Wike as a winner. Newswatch Times gathered that & ! I D

Maku (PDP Nasarawa) Mohammed Nasko polled 908 votes in Niger State in the contest that was relatively peaceful. Other aspirants expectedly rejected the results which they characterised as full of aberrations. The situation was almost the same in Kaduna State where the acting governor, Mukhtar Yero retained the PDP ticket with 970 votes, while his opponent Senator Zego Aziz, got only one vote. With all the media bravado indulged in by former Minister of Labour, Stanley Wogu, to secure the Abia State PDP ticket, he was thrashed by the governor’s favourite, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, who polled 487 votes to beat him and six others. Controversial ex-Senate Leader, Teslim Folarin got the PDP guber ticket in Oyo State where six aspirants shunned the outing while two others left at the middle of the exercise. The polls were held in the presence of enhanced security. In Enugu State, at least four candidates won in the parallel I state capital. Sen. Ayogu Eze’s faction was said to have left the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium venue to conduct a separate primary at the Filbon Hotel, Enugu, after learning that the list of delegates approved by the National Q " & =

One of the aspirants, Dr. Ifeanyi Asogwa, had earlier pulled out of the governorship race to contest

The two other aspirants announced their withdrawal from the race shortly before commencement of voting, leading to the emergence of Ezea S % % ; While the former Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) chairman, Malam Nuhu Ribadu won the Adamawa State PDP ticket with 688 votes in a primary shunned by Governor Bala Nggilari and several other aspirants, that of Akwa Ibom State was won by the Governor Godswill Akpabio’s favourite, Udom Emmanuel who polled 1,201 votes. Rather than being publicly humiliated and humbled by the ‘underdog,’ after so much media aggression, former Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebucji Chukwu abstained from same contest in Ebonyi State which was won by the former deputy governor, Chief Dave Umahi who polled 541 votes at the PDP primary. A retired federal civil servant, Dr. Yusuf Agabi, was the winner in Nasarawa State with 214 votes, having defeated the former Information Minister, Labaran Maku, with 129 votes. In Delta State, while Senator Ifeanyi Okowa polled 406 votes against Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan’s David Edevbie who scored 299 votes in the PDP, Olorogun O’tega Emerhor won the APC primaries, having polled 3,584 votes after his main opponent, Fidelis Tilije, staged a walkout, alleging that the primary was skewed in favour of Emerhor. Tilije however scored 195 votes to emerge second best while Princess Nana Onwordi recorded only two votes. In Imo State, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, scored 346 votes to defeat Sen. Ifeanyi Araraume, who got 336 votes. The APC primary in Imo State has been suspended until further notice, apparently in honour of Governor Rochas Okorocha’s presidential ambition.

Indeed, it is the opinion of some observers that the event turns out a carnival of sort. For other participants at the ceremony, the turnout was not surprising given the respect the people of the South East have for the IYM over the years. The movement, founded in 1999 by Evangelist Elliot Uko has remained a credible and dedicated group over the years, maintaining its fearless defence and promotion of Igbo interest, while completely avoiding partisan politics. Perhaps, it was due to the group’s modus operandi, which uses seminars, lectures and cultural events to espouse its ideas for Igbo unity and socio-political and economic development that distinguishes it from other similar groups such as the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and Biafran Zionist Federation (BZF), among others, which combined a bit of militancy and exuberant activism in the pursuit of their ideologies, a development that often bring them in collision with the authorities.

His goal from the edge of the area put Chelsea 2-0 up and the German put forward a good case for more minutes domestically, having started just four times in the Premier League this season.

G

ary Neville says Liverpool haven’t spent enough money to reclaim their place among European football’s elite. The former Manchester United defender was discussing the Merseyside club’s failure to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League following Tuesday night’s disappointing draw with Basel. And ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Old ) I = % ! Sunday, he says the summer outlay of over £100million is small fry when you take into account the money they received for the sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona. Another chance to see the action from the 2-2 draw between Manchester United and Liverpool from October

1992 He said: “They obviously sold Luis Suarez for ÂŁ65m and spent (around) ÂŁ100m % they spent ÂŁ40m. That’s not even touching the sides of what the big European teams do, and are spending when they’re really going for it. “When you’re talking about a big club and Liverpool winning European Cups over the last 30 years, building a new 65,000-seater stadium; ÂŁ40m net is not ‘going for it’.â€? Brendan Rodgers paid large fees for Adam Lallana, Emre Can, Alberto Moreno, Lazar Markovic, and the injured Mario Balotelli over the summer, but none of those players started against Basel. And while Neville says the manager must take

responsibility for the signings, he says Rodgers hasn’t been given the budget that many of his rivals, including Louis van Gaal, have enjoyed. He added: “Man United have done it, City have done it, Chelsea have done it, Real Madrid will do it. “If you want to go big, go big, and that’s not big! So the idea that he’s spent a lot of money in great club terms, he’s not. He’s spent ÂŁ40m.

Fruits of pretence during courtship How to give your wife maximum pleasure in bed Relationship BOSE OLA-SAMUEL with

L

et me state here that women hold the aces in sexual relationship between married couples. They are the ones who need to be stimulated specially most of the time before they can enjoy sex. They are also the ones who are always full of back aches, headaches, and all forms of complaints, when it is time for sex. And when they close the door to the pride of their womanhood, men are on their own. For the man to have his way, he will have to toast her specially, appeal to her, cajole her, otherwise, there will be no show at least, for that moment. Furthermore, women are also the ones who must get to a pinnacle called orgasm, before ^ * see sex as a burden or as being used. The reason for this is not farfetched, and we’ve discussed them severally in this \ * I wired physiologically. Man is easily aroused when it comes to sex. He doesn’t need to do anything special. At the mere sight of his wife’s naked body, he is ready for sex, but the woman on the other hand is not easily aroused, she needs time, like an aeroplane,

" I K ; Thus, it becomes the responsibility of men to ensure that a woman is properly handled if she will regularly respond to their sexual advances, and also derive maximum pleasure from the act. The how of giving her maximum pleasure is the focus of this write up. That is what gives a woman maximum pleasure of reaching orgasm? Hardness of the male organ is the issue here. All the talk about the maximum enjoyment women get in bed revolves around the hard and strong nature of the male organ. That is if she must enjoy sex, she must be able to feel the male organ on the inside of her. And the only way that feeling can come is dependent on the hardness of the penis. That is why a man must learn how to maintain a hard rod, if her woman will have maximum enjoyment in bed. There are techniques of achieving this, and one of them * * * = woman sex pleasure guru, JACK GRAVE. I * ; “If you ever failed to get or keep a full hard on when having sex with a woman, you know how embarrassing and frustrating that situation is.

W

ith the rise in marital break-ups in recent times, people have wondered if there was no courtship before such marriages took place. Others imagine that the period of courtship was not long enough. Yet, many more would argue that the couple pretended to each other while courting. Perhaps because truth cannot be hidden for too long, it manifests itself shortly after marriage. Sister Mary is a member of a Pentecostal church in Lagos, and married to a ‘brother’ in the same church. All through their six months courtship, they never spent time alone together; they never got intimate. On their wedding night, it was discovered that ‘Brother’ could not perform sexually. After series of mediation by family, friends and the church; the couple went their separate ways. Perhaps pretence during courtship can account for majority of divorce cases and separations in recent times. Courtship is a relationship between man and woman with the main objective of studying and knowing each other in order to take decision on marriage.

Courtship can last between three and six months, onto two or five years depending on when the couple involved feel they had known each other well enough to get married. It is natural that many people are extra careful during courtship. This cautiousness might be perceived as pretence to some people. “Generally people tend to relax after marriage. If a man has a bad behaviour, it would worsen 10 times more after he marries the lady because by then, he has the woman where he wants her,� said Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo. This creates room for clumsiness and other vices to manifest themselves. If people do not allow their emotions to control them during courtship, they may not find their spouses completely different after marriage, when emotions make objective assessment of one’s spouse impossible during courtship, the essence is defeated.

ROMANCE TIPS Take advantage of any time alone together. Let her sit on your lap. Kiss her stomach. Always hold her around her hips/sides. Guys like half-shirts. Take her to dinner and do the dinner for two deal

“Remember that courtship isn’t the same as boyfriendgirlfriend relationship. Here, you hope to be heading for marriage. I always advise that couples shouldn’t pretend. In my own little opinion, this is the time that all cards are on the table. Be unclad to your partner, everything must be put on the table,� explained Nora Akikunmi, a teacher. The idea is that if anything crops up in the future, the spouse is already aware. Social scientists attribute this assumed pretence by engaged couples to the tendency of human beings to believe all that glitters is gold. “When a girl tells a man, ‘I hate cooking and doing household chores,’ the average Nigerian man wouldn’t want to hear that. He would want a woman who is very domesticated and because the lady wants to get married, she acts domesticated. By the time she gets into the man’s house, she shows her true colours, and the man says she was pretending before marriage. The truth is that you cannot show your full character before you make a commitment. There are some ‘sins’ that it only love can cover. So you choose whether what was lied about is worth ending a marriage for,� said Dr. Nneka Akhaeze of Delta State University, Abraka.

Governorship primaries: Sifting ‘men’ from the ‘boys’ Continued from Page 15

Amosun, during the primary which was held at the MKO Abiola International Stadium, Abeokuta, as the sole aspirant, polled 3,554 votes out of the total of 3,681. For Governor Abiola Ajimobi, the incumbent governor of Oyo State, it was no endorsement. Ajimobi contested for the ticket against Wasiu Adesina, the son of a former governor of the state. While Ajimobi polled 4,662 of the 4,776 votes at the main bowl of the Lekan Salami Stadium venue of the primaries, his rival Adesina, polled 22 votes. In Zamfara State, Governor Abdulaziz Yari was returned as the sole candidate, garnering 2,298 votes, out of a total of 2,336 delegates from the 14 local government areas of the state. And, in Yobe State, Governor Ibrahim Geidam got the endorsement of the party delegates. In Kano State where the deputy governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje emerged the APC candidate, the deputy minority whip, House of Representatives, Hon. Abdurahman Kawu Sumaila and two others withdrew for him at the Kofar Mata indoor stadium, the venue of the primary. In Sokoto State, for the APC, the Speaker, House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, recorded a landslide victory at the state township stadium where he polled 3,466 of the 3,503 valid votes cast while two of his opponents, Senator Umaru Dahiru Tambuwal and Yusha’u Kebbe, got 23 and 13 votes respectively. The three other contestants, Prof. Lawal Bashar, Barrister Aliyu Sayinna and Senator Jibril Gada had no vote.

In Akwa Ibom State, the former Secretary to the Government, Umana Okon Umana, emerged winner at the APC primary with 2,444 of the 2,453 votes cast, while his opponent, Senator James Udoedehe had six. However, the PDP primary was marked by a tense atmosphere, as all the aspirants, except Akpabio’s preferred candidate Udom Gabriel Emmanuel who later won with 1,201 votes, = ; In Taraba State, three APC governorship aspirants = alleging that the process lacked credibility. In a joint press conference in Jalingo, the three aspirants, Dr Suleiman Julde, Alhaji Tumba Ibrahim and Yusufu Akirikwen, alleged that the state executives of the party refused to carry them along in the process leading to the exercise. Senator Aisha Jumai Alhassan emerged winner. In Benue State the primary was postponed; but in Niger State, Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello won after polling 3,829 votes to defeat Senator Musa Ibrahim who had 61 votes out of the total 3,932 votes cast in the election. Meanwhile, in Lagos State, the emergence of Ambode

as Lagos APC governorship candidate is allegedly raising political dust, particularly between Fashola and Tinubu as well as between Tinubu and the aggrieved 12 aspirants. According to Newswatch )

Sources said that Fashola has vowed not to fund the campaign of Ambode who he considered as an impostor. Another source said that Fashola and the aggrieved aspirants may dump the APC for the Labour Party. Besides, the party has been dragged to court over the manner in which the state congress was carried out. The aggrieved candidates accused Tinubu of hiding the delegates’ list from other aspirants. However, Ambode was during the APC national convention in Lagos last Wednesday presented * < K ; An saddening development is that Fashola could not push a candidate for his succession.

Akala (Oyo LP) almost all of them belong to the master of the game. However, bad losers have embarked on mudslinging and name calling, a development which if not checked by appropriate quarters could harm the outcome of their parties in the much touted coming election. In Lagos State for instance, Obanikoro was allegedly short of describing the PDP leader, Olabode George, as a K the venue of the primary with touts, just because the atmosphere became tense and rowdy. His point had since been punctured by the police who allayed such fears. In response, George too has described “Koro� as rude, thus = at risk. In Oyo State too, the party’s governorship aspirant, Oluseyi Makinde, has also threatened the fortune of the party in the state, urging the party’s NWC to revisit the last primary that produced Senator Folarin as its K ; It will certainly be an unserious thing if all the parties experience same menace (counter-protest and threat of decampment) but disastrous if it is only synonymous with a particular

While the last week governorship primaries across the federation actually signalled the country’s another mileage in the course for the advancement of democracy, certainly exposed almost all the ministers in the President Goodluck Jonathan’s government as mere paper tigers group. As of now, the two major parties are threatened by the same causes that bother on intimidation and favouritism. With the situation on hand, the Labour Party (LP), Social Democratic Party, All Progressive Grand Alliance and other political parties should without mincing words be warming up to receive decampees that may at the end lift them beyond their present heights. After all, former governor of Oyo State, Otunba Alao Akala of the PDP has moved to the LP. Same case has been reported of those in Ebonyi State who have now turned brides also of the LP.

It was in this respect that the former national chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu said: “I on behalf of myself and my primary campaign organization undertake to accept the outcome of the primary and actively support whoever emerges as the winner and shall not defect to any other political party or in any way obstruct the smooth prosecution of the presidential campaigns.

Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants is to say the least obscene.

“I have been involved in political processes for decades; I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of a party primary. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 and $5000 to each delegate certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want. “Those who contributed to the pauperization of the country now revel in dollarization, Oma se o! If this is what is called internal democracy, then, I guess it’s not the best for the Nigerian situation ...,� he lamented. However, at the end of the two-day event that practically shutdown vehicular movement in the area, Buhari emerged the eventual winner with 3,430 votes, seconded by Atiku that polled 954; Kwankwaso 974,

Okorocha 624 and Isaiah 10. With major parties presenting their best for the much touted contest, the stage may have been set for serious politicking towards sharing the voting populace that would either guarantee the return of President Jonathan or the enthronement of a new president. The fate of such a winner would aside common media hype, rest largely on antecedents and achievements as well as the misdeeds of the unfortunate contender(s). While the issue of the Chibok girls and the general security weakness in the country as well as the circumstances necessitating the devaluation of the naira may be considered for talk by Buhari’s APC, the PDP too may readily remind Nigerians of the agonies of Nigerians under Buhari; more so, of the decree prohibiting minors from pilgrimage to

Saudi Arabia but which was then waved by the same government for late General Tunde Idiagbon’s son. This is aside the deadly Decree 4 during which tens of journalists were haunted and hounded for carrying out their sworn duties. Whichever way the politicking goes, it is a sure thing that political parties and their candidates are as usual certainly going to thrill Nigerians with self-coined grammatical expressions. Before then, Nigerian voters shall impatiently await open debates between the candidates. Such would

K fortune in the coming election. For this, the incumbent President is already expecting, having during the week publicly invited his rivals to a verbal contest that would herald the 2015 presidential election.

Adamawa PDP: Ribadu’s candidature amid controversies Owolabi Adenusi, Yola

T

he political intrigues which played out in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial primaries leading to the emergence of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and other nominees for the House of Assemblyand the Senate, have weakened the political strength of the party in Adamawa State ahead of the 2015 general election. Political pundits in the state have said that the PDP is living up to its old reputation as a house in disarray following the confusion that continued to trail its nominations and primaries in the states. Stakeholders of the party in Adamawa State have described the nomination of Mallam Ribadu as their standard bearer as a dream that would not come to reality, adding that President Goodluck Jonathan is taking a risk that could lead to the loss of Adamawa voters’ ; ) ? Q " & =

+?Q&- of the PDP in a suspicious manner had conducted the House of Assembly, House of Representatives, the Senate and governorship primaries in Abuja which ended up irking party stakeholders who are bent on trading away their party fortune in the 2015 general elections unless new primaries take place in the state. The state chairman of the party, Chief Joel Madaki, and its national chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mua’zu respectively, are at longheads over the disputed results of the primaries. The PDP NWC shifted the venue of the primaries to Abuja without due consultation with the party stakeholders in Adamawa State who were suspecting the national chairman of = $ ; Investigation by Newswatch Times revealed = especially most of the aspirants, were not properly briefed on the change of venue but had it in news that the primaries had been conducted under the watch of the national chairman of the party and that it produced the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as the standard bearer of the party; while the House of Assembly primary which was supervised by Chief Madaki with the representative of national secretariat of the I * cancelled. However, when the news got to Yola, the state capital, that Alhaji Ribadu had emerged K the stakeholders felt that they were betrayed in the way and manner the party primaries were conducted, resolving that state national delegates and stakeholders of the party would abstain from the national convention of the party slated for Wednesday in protest against the imposition of an unpopular candidate “against the wish of the people.� The stakeholders which include six of its gubernatorial aspirants, unanimously distanced themselves from the party’s primary which produced Mallam Ribadu as the standard bearer for the February 2015 governorship election. The stakeholders who made their position known at a press conference, in which they claimed that anything short of cancellation of the primary held by the NWC would be resisted and leave them with no option than to follow the views of the greater majority of the people of Adamawa State. ) = & > " * " at a press conference said the party members = * * thrown into confusion in the state “with the K laws with impunity, with regard to the party primaries and it is a thing of serious concern that may head for complete eradication of the party in the minds of our grassroots supporters.� Also corroborating other gubernatorial candidates which include Aliyu Kama, Dr. Ahmed Modibbo, Engr. Marcus Gundiri and the state Governor Bala James Nggilari who was represented by his campaign manager,

Mu’azu Senator Abubakar Girei, the party’s state chairman stressed that contrary to the Electoral Act and party guidelines which state that should there be any change of election venue, there must be a notice of not less than seven day, and that all elections should be held in the various constituencies. “But, unfortunately, in the case of Adamawa State all the delegates and aspirants were in Yola without any communication either from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) or the party, while a purported election was said to have taken place in Abuja,� he fumed. Nggilari supported that, “it is our unanimous resolution to distance, condemned and reject it in its entirety, and that in protest of that we will not be part of any illegality that is happening within our party.� Dr. Moddibo, one of the gubernatorial aspirants lamented the role played by the INEC in contravening the nation’s constitution by supervising the illegal primary. He explained that the credibility of INEC has been brought to question for knowing full well that the congress could only taking place in the state concerned and instead teamed up with some political actors to apportion results for six aspirants that did not partake in the Abuja primary. Although few days to the primary, based on speculation that the election might not take place in Adamawa State, six out of the seven gubernatorial aspirants in the race had protested to the presidency over the speculated plan to shift the venue of the exercise by the NWC of the party to Abuja, but were told not to worry. The aspirants ignorantly assembled their delegates at the Ribadu Square in Yola based on alleged agreement reached in Abuja for the said polls which did not hold. The state leader of the party, Governor Nggilari who is also an aspirant equally advised the national leadership of the PDP to respect the wishes of the people of the state so that they could discharge their constitutional responsibility. Nggilari, addressing the Adamawa State delegates at the Government House Banquet Hall in Yola, sai he would not disrespect the party at national level. The governor who assured the party’s delegates that stormed the Government House in order to cast their votes said that their constitutional right to elect their preferred candidates to any elective post would not be compromised. Speaking earlier at the occasion, Chief Madaki had apologised to the delegates for the delay in the party primary, saying that they were expecting the representatives of the national secretariat of the party. > " (?'& S representatives of the national secretariat of the party had caused the temporary delay in the party primary.

Political observers in the state are of the view = Adamawa people and the PDP in hand of his principal secretary, Ambassador Hassan Tukur, who want to actualise the ousted Governor Murtala Nyako’s prediction that the PDP will die a natural death in the state before the 2015 general polls. The stakeholders accused Ambasador Tukur = the PDP as well as President Jonathan’s second term bid. The aggrieved stakeholders have protested to the INEC, saying that the state governorship primary held in Abuja is not in line with pages 6, 7 and 8 of the PDP Electoral Guidelines for Primary Election 2014. Newswatch Times gathered that when President Jonathan hosted Governor Ngilari and 11 stakeholders at the Presidential Villa on Saturday night, they protested against the shift of the National Assembly and governorship primaries to Abuja. At the meeting were ex-NADECO chieftain, Air Commodore Dan Suleiman (rtd), ex-Governor Wilberforce Juta, ex-High Commissioner to Britain, General Haladu Hananiya (rtd), Senator Abubakar Girei, Senator Grace Bent, Col. Andrawa Sawa (rtd), ex-UBEC Executive Secretary, Dr. Modibbo and General Aliyu Kamar (rtd). The source said: “They urged the President to call the national secretariat of the PDP to order as its actions may cause disunity in the Adamawa State chapter.â€? Though President Jonathan promised to “look intoâ€? their grievances, the party went ahead to conduct the primaries in Abuja.

The communiquÊ said it should be noted that Alhaji Tukur, as a founding father of the party, a member of its Board of Trustees and the immediate past national chairman of the PDP, deserves greater respect than he has been shown by the NWC. The party leaders also strongly condemned the undue interference of Ambassador Tukur, a public servant and principal secretary to Mr President, for continuously instigating the PDP, and Alhaji Mua’zu to destabilise PDP in the state. They explained that the lack of recognition of Governor Nggilari as the leader of the party by the NWC is unjust and unfair to the party and its stakeholder.

However, thing fell apart when Fintiri accidentally or deliberately said it is only God that could determine what will happen in 2015 about the contest. It cost him his seat because that would jeopardise Ribadu’s chances. It was gathered that Ngillari’s court case was negotiated on the condition that he would not contest in 2015 but the stakeholders of the PDP in the state felt that Ngglari is the needed Messiah and was bought the gubernatorial forms which pitched him against the power that be in Abuja. However, the chances of Ribadu defeating the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 general election is beclouded with uncertainly, looking at the fact that Senator Jibrila Bindow has the support of the people at the grassroots while Ribadu is a stranger in the state’s politics, coupled with division in the PDP. Bindow is the bridge builder between the Nyako and Alhaji Abubakar Atiku camp of the APC because he has the blessing of Abdul Azizi Nyako, Mijinyawa Kugama and Hon. Abuduram Aba Jimeta who are loyalists of Nyako.

At the end of their protests, the workers paid a visit to Edo State Government House, Benin City, to see the state governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomole. Addressing the governor, the leader of the workers union, Mr. Olo Usifo, alleged that the workers were been owed a 36 months’ salary arrears, by Church Gate Group Plc.

Stakeholders in the country’s economy who spoke to Newswatch Times were of the view that government is lackadaisical about the welfare of Nigerian workers in those companies. They felt the failure of government to impress it on the management of the private investors who bought the companies has made the new owners not to have the interest of their workers at heart. According to Nelson, “The management of DSC owes its workers 28 months salaries, yet they want us to continue working. Many of us have put in more than 25 years of our productive years to this company. Various appeals and entreaties to BPE and the Federal Government have fallen on deaf ears, as our company management has not considered it

Many workers of the privitised companies were of the opinion that the failure of the new owners to live up to expectation has impacted negatively on the success of the privitisation policy of the government, adding that only few privitised companies have become a success story. “The government may have realized some amount of money from the sales of its enterprises.

Stakeholders in the economy appealed to BPE and the Federal Government to ensure bidders win the bid to acquire its companies earmarked for privitisation, adding that the failure of private investors to pay their workers is a major dent on the privitisation policy. Many of the respondents who spoke to Newswatch Times opined that privitisation policy is a welcome development as the reduction of government’s revenue has made it impossible to run its enterprises. Respondents appealed to the management of privatised companies to pay their workers as and when due in order not to encourage corruption and other forms of sharp practices on the part of the workers.

N9.2bn stoves: Deforestation check or campaign gift? Abiodun Awogbemi

D

eforestation has constituted one of the major challenges confronting the country in spite of government’s campaign against it. To nail the scourge in the head, the Federal Government last week announced that the Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the whopping sum of N9.2 billion to import 750,000 stoves into the country for rural women so as to discourage tree felling. The announcement was received with mixed feelings as most women who spoke to Newswatch Times felt that whosoever proposed the idea is playing on the intelligence of Nigerian women. Majority however, believed that the current government is desperate to win the presidential election using the importation of stoves as a campaign gift and mere political gimmick. According to Suliat Anifowope, “Whoever initiated the idea and those supporting it are living in the dark ages. Do they use stove in their own homes? Do they think Nigerian women cannot improve or grow beyond using stove when majority are moving up to the use of cooking gas. “It is sad that the Federal Government daily contradict itself with its policies. The government was the one that said it wants to encourage the use of cooking gas as it is stress free, emission free and will also helped the country in K ; ) same government is now talking about % % = a factory here in Nigeria, or encourage those who are already producing it in the country. I believe the gesture was not done in good faith, it is all about how to siphon money as the case may be.� Recently, the Director-General of Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), Dr. Joseph Odumodu, has championed the slogan Made-inNigeria goods, stressing that imported products are killing the indigenous K * ; SON is one of the agencies saddled with the task of regulating the importation of goods into the country and ensuring that they meet the required standard. According to an industrialist, Mr Hakeem Jolayemi, owner of Peacemind Investments, how can the country and the economy grow when government and its agencies are working across purpose? While the government believes in importing everything into the country in a bid to siphon money, its agencies preach otherwise. Jolayemi said if the government can import 750, 000 stoves with 18,000 wonder bags at the costs of N9.2 billion which means an average of N12, 000 per stove to be shared to rural dwellers in order to discourage tree felling and safeguard their health from the smoke S " government is not serious and sincere in all its economic policies. An economic analyst, while commenting on the development, said that the idea is a poisonous development in the environmental sector of the nation. What the government wants to do is use the people’s money and buy energy

S " % * the rate of approximately N12, 000 per stove According to the analyst, the importation of ordinary stoves will close " S stoves in Nigeria as the entrepreneurs % I < < I % are now seen not for what they are, but as campaign gifts to be torn down by the opposition and misused by the + " -

* * automatically see it as their share of the national cake. He explained that in the international environmental parlance, Nigeria is S ^

P washing. It is green-washing when a company or organisation spends more time and money claiming to be “green� through advertising and marketing than actually implementing business practices that minimise environmental impact. It means they are whitewashing with a green brush. Nigeria, according to the analyst, is described as rent-seeking, spending wealth on political lobbying to increase one’s share of existing wealth without creating wealth. ) I P

" to him, are reduced economic

S resources, reduced wealth creation, lost government revenue, increased income inequality and national decline. Some describe rent-seeking Nigeria government as either jostling to get a share of the oil money (Nigeria’s rent) or the practice of procuring and issuing contracts by proxy in a wholesale-andretail fashion as it used to be. “My pain is that rent-seeking * environmental sector! We do not need a prophet to tell us that the N9.2 billion to be used to procure eco-stoves is going to go down the drain without achieving what it is set out to do. It will neither create new jobs nor solve our environmental problems. It is a “rent� to be collected by the rent-seeking players in the corridors of power, each = “deal�. During the FEC meeting, it was announced that the eco-stoves would be shared free among rural women, but the stoves to be imported and assembled could only carter to only about 750,000 people. This simply means that there will be dog-eat-dog competition among rural dwellers to lay their hands on the available “free stoves,� thereby creating = B P collectors� to get a hand on their own share of the national cake. Of course, the people in charge of the distribution will then demand a value from the rural women before the free stoves go to them. For instance, the person who wins the contract or “deal� to distribute the stoves to a state, shall demand a value from each local government sub-contractor, who then demands a value from the ward subcontractor, who then demands from the community liaison, who then demands from the families. So, at the end of the day, the stove, which is supposed to be free, now has an “unspoken� price tied to it, and goes to the highest bidder. ) " = * women will no longer need to patronise the local energy cooking stove manufacturers, who have taken

up stove making as an enterprise. The stove maker is then chased out of business, and then at the end of the day, everybody goes back to the polluting and wood-consuming stoves they were I ; Newswatch Times’ investigation reveals that Jigawa State had shared out more than 100,000 free stoves, but have to change tactics because free stoves it was learnt do not produce the desired

& on Environment and Ecology, Senator Bukola Saraki, has faulted the intervention funding of the Clean Cookstove on the grounds of misplacement of immediate priority and lack of transparency and accountability in the procurement process. Senator Saraki believes that funding of the Clean Cookstove from the Ecological fund without due process is a mockery of the Procurement Act and the cookstove initiate. The Ecological funds which is assumed to have been the source of this fund was established ? " K other unforeseen natural disasters, and not for funding initiatives such as clean cookstoves which are suppose to be funded through appropriations by the National Assembly. Senator Saraki noted that the distribution of stoves are important in stimulating the demand for the product, but the amount of intervention * @S Secretary to the Government of the / * " * = the issue instead of the Federal Ministry of Environment which has been championing the issue, came without adequate research, when there are still awareness gaps, and more immediate life threatening ecological issues currently confronting the nation. He said distributing 750,000 stoves at once is market distorting. It doesn’t encourage investment, and is counterproductive to the Global Alliance’s vision of creating a sustainable market for clean cookstoves. Senator Saraki, therefore, calls for a review of the whole process involving all critical stakeholders that would be more transparent, and that can make it more accountable to Nigerians. The Senator, however, advised that

S " implementation strategy domiciled and implemented by the Federal Ministry of Environment which will support existing local manufacturers to build capacity should be pursued. “We can’t be talking about stimulating demand and creating local jobs by sending foreign exchange to another country to import stoves.�

It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the southwest, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west; China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.

Four religions - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism originated here, whereas Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region’s diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi. The Indian economy is the world’s tenth-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public healthcare, and terrorism.

Major exports include petroleum products, textile goods, jewellery, software, engineering goods, chemicals, and leather manufactures. Major imports include crude oil, machinery, gems, fertiliser, and chemicals. Between 2001 and 2011, the contribution of petrochemical and engineering goods to total exports grew from 14% to 42%.

According to a 2011 PricewaterhouseCoopers report, India’s GDP at purchasing power parity could overtake that of the United States by 2045. During the next four decades, Indian GDP is expected to grow at an annualised average of 8%, making it potentially the world’s fastestgrowing major economy until 2050. The report highlights key growth factors: a young and rapidly growing working-age population; growth in the manufacturing sector because of rising education and engineering skill levels; and sustained growth of the consumer market driven by a rapidly growing middle class.

etr Cech will make League start of the season this weekend after regular keeper Thibaut Courtois was ruled out of Chelsea’s meeting with Hull City. Cech has been sidelined this season after Joss Mourinho installed Courtois as his number one, managing just 66 minutes of domestic league action after replacing the young Belgian during the October victory over Arsenal. But the Czech international -- who has featured in Chelsea’s Champions League and Capital One cup campaigns -- will be handed his chance because Courtois picked up a minor injury in training. Chelsea manager Mourinho said: “Cour = in training, a muscular problem, and is not available for tomorrow. “But it’s a chance for Petr and a chance for Mark Schwarzer to be on the bench.

We play football blindly – Pinnick

In a session with www. footballlive.ng, the Foot = the national teams ‘ play football blindly’ a reason he ascribed to the absence of technical depth on the bench.

an anybody tell me why the two dominant parties in Nigeria – the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Ccongress (APC) - decided to hold their conventions on the same day (Dec 10 -11) in Nigeria’s political and commercial capitals, Abuja and Lagos respectively? Was it a coincidence or a deliberate plan? Is it part of the struggle for power and supremacy? They literarily shut down the two cities, effectively paralyzing meaningful economic activities. They caused so much agony for anyone who had business to do in those cities. Many roads were blocked and the rest were congested with vehicles. ˆ ˆ ‰ ‡ ˆ ‹ ˆ days were declared, there was little work in the public sector most of the week, especially during the conventions. Many civil servants could not get to work as they were blocked, and those who managed to force their way found that they could not be productive. Most of the public servants; from ministers to permanent secretaries and to all the advisers and assistants; all the political appointees of the President, the governors and local government chairmen were away ˆ ˆ ‰ ˆ ˆ ˆ ˆ ‹‘ˆ If you had appointments or businesses to transact with governments all over the country, you were on your own. It did not matter, and no one seemed to care. Does anybody know, or is any institution of government conscious of how much the nation lost in the week to party conventions, and what had been lost to the primaries and congresses in the states earlier on? This is happening at a time that income from oil is dwindling and therefore, we should be working overtime to diversify our income sources to help close the gap. If it is only productive losses in the public sector and loss of business opportunities in the private sector that we are talking about, that should really cause us much concern, but when we add the direct costs incurred in all these political democratic processes at the expense of the tax payers, the matter assumes alarming dimensions. ’ Šˆ ˆ ˆ‡ ˆ ˆ ‡ ˆ ‰ ˆ holders, from the President to the councillors and all their political appointees and aides were sponsored to the various conventions at public expense. The cost of their transportation, accommodation and out of station allowances were paid by the different governments. These guys are on their ‘private ‘ businesses (so to say), yet they receive out of station allowances or per diem! Most of these public servants are automatic delegates to the congresses and conventions and ˆ ‰ ˆ ˆ ˆ ‡ ˆ ˆ ˆ contestants and candidates who try to over reach each other by ‘lobbying, convincing, convicting’ and when necessary out rightly bribing the delegates.

ways of doing all these without disrupting economic activities, even in this information technology age? Can’t we ‘transform’ these processes and save money, time and reduce the unnecessary sufferings of Nigerians? Then can we begin to calculate the economic losses that will happen next February, during the elections? Governance and government business will virtually cease throughout the Federation as most of the public servants will relocate temporarily to their constituencies. Even the supposedly apolitical top civil servants and heads of agencies and parastatals will be required to go and ‘deliver’ their constituencies or wards or LGAs or states as the case may be; otherwise ‘odawogu’. All these people will receive their full pay plus allowances when they are on such partisan assignments. I think this is very unfair to the electorate and tax payers. This whole arrangement is skewed against the common people of Nigeria who sweat and cringe everyday to eke out a living with little or no support from the governments. They have no gratuity, no pensions, no safety net, but have to earn daily wages. Thereafter, when the elections are won and lost, the incumbents will do the legal battles in the courts with public funds. Then they will appoint hordes of people into necessary and ‘unnecessary’ positions, including the PA to the PA and SA to the SA. All in the name of democracy! Guys, we did not invent democracy, can’t we go and learn how other countries, especially those we aspire to be in the same league with, conduct this democracy business. They do not all hold conventions on the same day and they stagger elections. It does not have to be this costly to the economy and to the tax payer. If we have people who worry about our economic growth, more so now that oil revenue is threatened, they should persuade our political leaders to rethink these redundant political processes and adopt modern processes and create an environment where economic activities will proceed uninterrupted, while we do our politicking. Is this at all doable?
