We petitioned the Lagos State government and a lot of meetings were held at Alausa. “An agreement was signed, a memorandum of understanding that a 13-man committee should go and conduct election for the traders in that market,� he said.

Delta tourism sector not generating revenue - Commissioner Sylvester Idowu, Asaba

D

elta State government yesterday admitted that its culture and tourism business was not generating revenue for the state, attributing the problem to lack of necessary infrastructure, including power and roads. The state’s Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Mr. Richard Mofe-Damijo, disclosed while giving his midterm stewardship that in spite of the efforts of government and private investments in the sector, tourism has not been booming as expected. He noted that for government to succeed in the sector, the issue of infrastructure, including the provision of roads and power must urgently be addressed Mofe-Damijo, however, said the public private partnership (PPP) entered into by the state government and Sarner PFM Ltd for the construction of a world-class Water Theme Park at Oleri, in Udu Local Government Area and a Wild Life Park at Ogwashi-Uku, in Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state have started yielding desire results. The commissioner acknowledged that tourism is a revenue generating sector in countries like Namibia and South Africa, but stressed that the dearth

of infrastructure has been its bane in Nigeria. “Until every other relevant sector like power, roads and so on are put in place; the tourism sector cannot thrive and generate revenue as it should. So, there is need to have these infrastructure in place. If there is constant power you will see Nollywood practically relocating to this place,� he said.

“The state government has already provided 500 acres of land which represents its 10 per cent counterpart funding of the project, and has almost completed the construction of a bridge and access roads to the project site, and work

DSC expressway median from Effurun roundabout to the proposed Delta Leisure Resorts is in progress,� he added.

Mofe-Damijo noted that with the legal victory of the Lagos State government over the registration and regulation of enterprises under the tourism sector which was previously controlled by the Federal Government, the Delta State government would discontinue its planned court action as the Supreme Court judgment has put paid to the controversy.

The commissioner said the state would leverage on the Justice Suleiman Galadima ruling at the apex court against the Federal Government on July 19, 2013, which now mandates states tourism boards to take full charge of tourism registration and regulation within their respective jurisdiction to buoy their internally-generated revenue.

Christ Embassy to procure N10m educational materials in Bayelsa Ayodele Olalere

C

ondemns kidnap of clergy men for ransom Uchenna Nwafor, Yenagoa Bayelsa State chapter of the Christ Embassy Mission has set aside over N10 million worth of instructional materials for the improvement of learning in public schools in the state. The church has similarly condemned the recent abduction of clergy men for ransom in some parts of the Niger Delta region, describing such acts as evil and a demonic manifestation. Head Pastor of the Bayelsa chapter of the church, Joe Agbaje, while unveiling in Yenagoa yesterday the programme of events by the church to celebrate the 53rd independence anniversary of Nigeria and the 17th anniversary of Bayelsa State, said the church is extending a hand of partnership to the state government.

On the annual reach-out campaign programme in the state, Agbaje said the 2013 campaign with the theme “Celebrating Our Possibilities� is expected to focus on possibilities of free and qualitative education, massive network of quality roads, bridges and other infrastructural development and maintenance. He noted that the campaign

which starts with the presentation of over 250,000 free copies of Rhapsody of Realities and bibles today at the commencement of the 27th National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) which holds in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State capital. Similarly, while condemning the ugly trend of kidnapping in the country, Agbaje wondered why kidnappers

would ever think of abducting a clergy man, saying however, that the church would only intensify prayers and welcome those involved into its fold for onward presentation to God. He said though the church has commenced interception prayers for the unknown gunmen and those they abducted, the issue of kidnapping for ransom is a spiritual prob-

lem that must be tackled with prayers from religious leaders and believers in the country. He noted that although Nigeria might be witnessing security and harsh economic challenges, “the Christ Embassy witnessed a positive growth in the economy, a clear indication that God is working to resolve the various knotty political and social issues.�

Transition Committee Chairman, Uvwie Local Government Area, Hon.

The governor who spoke in Yola, on Thursday night through his director of press and publicity, Ahmad Sajoh, said he and other “Rebel governors� have observed an “utter lack of goodwill from the presidency in resolving the issues at hand,� noting that negotiations have hit a brick wall.

“As you are aware, there’s a news report that the Adamawa State Government Lodge in Abuja was used for activities of the new PDP. I

a new secretariat to the Alhaji Kawu Baraje-led factional “New PDP�, saying it was a means to curb the recklessness of the embattled Na-

The governor who spoke in Yola, on Thursday night through his Sajoh, said the governor’s action was to make sure the “New PDP� exist as Tukur is desperate to suffocate it. Sajor said his boss had no

option than to approve the use of the Adamawa State Government Lodge because the crisis that engulfed PDP, originated from the state. He explained that as argument remained divided over the legal interpretation of “status ante�, Governor Nyako okayed the use of Adamawa government lodge because the ruling took cognisance of “the development in the polity,� maintaining that his boss believes the court which ruled on the matter wanted the parties in the suit to observe the law and not engage in anything capable of causing breakdown of law and order before its adjudication on the issue.

Falana vows to sue Lagos over deportation Francis Iwuchukwu

Lagos based lawyer and rights crusader, Femi Falana (SAN), yesterday revealed his intention to drag Lagos State government to court, over what he termed the illegal deportation of Nigerians from the state on the directive of the State governor, Babatunde Fashola (SAN).

The senior lawyer while expressing sadness over Nigeria having the largest number of illiterate children in the whole world, maintained that the ruling class is irresponsible and seemed not to know what to do with the nation’s treasury as entrusted to them by the electorates. Falana described kidnapping as the most lucrative business ever in the country with a position that, “When you lose monopoly of violence to criminals, then there is trouble.� The SAN also charged President Goodluck

Jonathan to see to the " "

corruption ravaging the country. Falana also called for the payment of all unemployed

graduates in the country so as to deal with criminality confronting the nation. In his position, professor of International law, Akin Oyebode described Nigeria

as a failing state, adding that, “We have a series of crisis in the Nigerian body polity and the existing government seemed not to have a solution to the

challenge. Aso Rock has lost its marbles in terms of what to do.� Even renowned economist, Professor Pat Utomi suggested that the

the nation’s highways. “I have no doubt that with the opportunity created by this programme today, every participant would go home convinced of the need for urgent steps to be taken in dealing with the challenge of speed violation through the use of speed limiting devices�, he said. Also speaking at the forum, Hon. Benson Rollands Igbakpa, Commissioner, Directorate of Transport, corroborated the position of FRSC, and urged the motoring public to put the limiting devices in their vehicles, adding that speed is a key juries. “Controlling vehicles speed can prevent crashes happening and can reduce the im-

pact when they do occur, lessening the severity of injuries sustained by victims�, he said. Among those in attendance were, Mr. Amvomawhe Diction – State coordinator, FRSC Special Marshal and Partnership, SMP; Engr. Ginibo , Head of Vehicle Inspection Operations, Directorate of Transport; Mr. Zaki M. Ahmed, Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations; Mr. Nwankwo Osita Emma Precious O., Chairman, Delta State Driving School Proprietors Association; Mr. E.B Atogun, Sector Head, Drivers’ License Centre and Mr. George Okiya, Delta Line Transport Manager who represented the General Manager.

he Kwara State House of Assembly has urged the Federal Government to urgently resolve the face-off between it and the Academic StaffUnion of Universities (ASUU) in the interest of the Nigerian students Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Hon. Razak Atunwa, made the call while receiving the leadership of the Zone ‘C’ of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) ^ ^ _

Atunwa who was represented by his Deputy, Hon. Mohammed Gana Yisa explained that the need for quick resolution of the impasse became imperative in view of the fact that a day lost in any academic calendar could not be regained, pointing out that the trend was not good for the development of education in Nigeria. He explained with sadness that no Nigerian university was among ^ ^ ^ ^ _` ^ {{{^ universities in the world, expressing the need for the stakeholders in the education sector to replace the decay infrastructure in order to improve the standard of the country’s ivory towers. The Speaker observed that proper funding of education was fundamental towards fast tracking sustainable development of any country, stressing that an idle hand was the devil’s workshop. According to him, as leaders of tomorrow, Nigerian youths must be adequately prepared. He commended Nigerian students for eschewing protest and violence in their quest to restore normalcy in the university’s academic calendar.

Politics Tukur encirled by ‘hawks’ Mansur Oladunjoye, Asst. Politics Editor

B

earing the imprematur of a well-orchestrated ambush foreseen by few, it was a craftily thrown ace that caught presidential handlers napping, and left Dr Goodluck Jonathan stunned in the full view of the world. President Jonathan watched helplessly as a splinter group of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led by former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, seven governors namely Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto); Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Rabiu Kwakwanso (Kano); Murtala Nyako (Adamawa); Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara); Sule Lamido (Jigawa) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers); former acting PDP national chairman, Kawu Baraje, former PDP national secretary, Olagunsoye Oyinlola and a former Deputy National Chairman, Dr. Sam Jaja staged a walkout during the party’s special convention at the Eagle Square in Abuja. No President in Nigeria has been so disrespected publicly. The walkout by the group, which later called itself the “New PDPâ€?, underscored the lack of rapid response mechanism in the administration, a failure which smeared the presidency with ridicule. " consume the largest party in Africa started largely with the resistance by some members, including governors and federal lawmakers to the alleged “highhandedness and arroganceâ€? of the party’s national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur. Saturday Newswatch recalls how Governors Amaechi, Aliyu, Wamakko and Nyako were suspended while Speaker Aminu Tambuwal was severely threatened over his “inappropriate romanceâ€? with the leadership of the then Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN). All these to the chagrin of PDP members, including those that urged the Presidency to call Tukur to order. Besides, Tukur was for sometime at loggerhead with the former Minister of Petroleum, Senator Jubril Aminu and also feuding with Atiku Even so, he was not at peace with Governor Nyako - all from his state, Adamawa - for one reason or the other, throwing his weight around, in addition to an alleged imposition of a 2015 governorship candidate. When Atiku’s men stormed out of the Eagle Square event, they regrouped at the Sheu Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, apparently prepared for an event to declare a “New PDPâ€? headed by Baraje. Since then, all had not been well in the PDP. Sadly, only chairman, Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Tony Anenih, saw the looming danger, recognised the faction, knowing ĂŒ { + q / !z He, however, called for caution by warring factions, promising to address the complaints, and once again reunite members of the PDP family. Hardly had he made the promise than the factional chairman of the PDP in Adamawa State, Alhaji Mijiyawa Kugama, arguably Governor Nyako’s loyalist, described the seven governors in the “New PDPâ€? as foot soldiers involved in an Armageddon war to rescue Nigeria from the claws of anti-democratic elements.â€? Kugama, who gave an insight into what transpired at the PDP convention ground that led to the factionalisation of the party, accused Tukur of manhandling the party | / q / plague to the party, which made the “progressive governors to join forces with Atiku in order to salvage the party from the hands of evil men.â€? He added: “They are not going to surrender until they resist the injustices, maladministration and the impunity that has characterised Tukur’s leadership style. The Tukur-led executive is addicted to evil. To us, Tukur’s administration stand for evil and we need to stand against E

The NEC meeting, according to sources, would determine whether to remove the chairman or not. The decision was sequel to President Jonathan’s alleged meeting with some of his close aides on Thursday to discuss the incessant calls for Tukur’s sack. Present at the meeting with the President were the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Godswill Akpabio; Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim; Chief ) | ` ! ` Oghiadomhe; a minister from the South South and a woman minister from the South East as well as J ) 'j President. The meeting was said to have concluded that the national chairman of the PDP should governors and warring members in the party. Meanwhile, Governors Lamido, Kwakwanso and Wamakko met Tukur in Abuja on Thursday, and confronted him with the crisis in the party. Sources at the meeting said the governors took their time to explain their displeasure to Tukur about how the party was being run and the need for those running it to change their style. The three governors were among _ been meeting with political leaders on the crisis bedeviling the party. The other two are those of Niger State, Dr. Aliyu; and Tukur’s home state of Adamawa, Nyako. There has been no love lost between Tukur and Nyako as the / / ( rivalry on the control of their state chapter of the PDP. Nyako on Sunday told Tukur to respect the constitution of the party, saying the only panacea for peace in the PDP was for Tukur and the leadership of the party to abide by its constitution. The governor, who spoke through his Special Adviser, Mr. Ahmad Sajo, during a telephone interview with our correspondent, noted that the state government did not have anything personal against the PDP national chairman. Sajo said that even if Tukur is removed without the expected adherence to the rules guiding the party, the same issues would still confront the PDP. He said the grouse of the Adamawa State government is the imposition of the will of an individual on the party. Sajo said: “Our stand against Tukur has not been his personality; we are saying that the chairman must learn to respect the constitution of the party and the laws of the land and that there should be fairness, justice and equity in the way things are done. “The problem is about the process that imposes the will of some people on the PDP.

There are electoral acts and we should not act outside the laws. “We want to plead with all members of this party to keep on dialoguing and discussing, because the opposition out there wants the party to split and there are moles; it sent its moles in the cloak of the PDP. “We have discovered them and Insha Allah, all PDP stakeholders, who are the governors, have discovered this and we are talking.� On Atiku’s role, Gulak said: “I was surprised because Atiku is supposed to know more than any other person that there is no party like the PDP. “He left the PDP and went to the ACN and he came back to the PDP, because he discovered that outside the PDP, there is no party. So, he had to come back and he was even given a waiver to contest the primaries in 2011. “Atiku should be grateful to the PDP. Atiku is indebted to the PDP and the best way to continue to pay the debt is to protect the PDP.� Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed concern over the ongoing development in the party and called on both factions to maintain the status quo, assuring that a meeting of the elders of the PDP would be convened before the end of the ( !

Members are equally enjoined to remain calm until the elders complete their peace-making meeting.�

Chief Akpabio had promised to reconcile the aggrieved governors. He said: “Let me tell you that some of my colleagues and I have resolved to ensure a total reconciliation with all those that have grievances. I can tell you that there was a break in communication. I was with the former Vice- President and we even took pictures with the Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, at the convention venue.� The crisis currently rocking the PDP deepened on Monday when the faction held its own convention and announced members of its NWC.

Meanwhile, former Governor of Kwara State and senator representing Kwara Central at the National Assembly, Dr. Bukola Saraki, believes that the PDP would be stronger at the end of the turbulence. But indication that the President may also bear his fangs emerged on Thursday when he sacked nine ministers loyal to some of the estranged governors and supporters of Atiku.

n Edo State based human rights activist, Reverend David Ugolor has described the crises ravaging the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a welcome development. Stating that the crises had long been expected, Ugolor told Saturday Newswatch that the clash of bigwigs in the party was fueled by “competition of individual interests which has nothing to do with the general development of Nigeria.� Ogolor who is also the Executive Director of Africa Network for Environment and Economic Justice (ANEEJ) said: “It (PDP crisis) is a welcome development we long expected.� Justifying his position on the acclaimed largest party in Africa, he stateds: “You know, PDP is a convenient vehicle for our elite to continue to take advantage of the people in Nigeria. You will agree with me that while some people were planning a scenario where PDP will be in power for 60 years, Nigerians who were also assessing how this would be possible, were also considering how to raise awareness among Nigerians to resist the lack of development; because the common man in Nigeria is not interested in the way political parties runs the country, but on how that translate / terms of concrete development. “ According to him, “what happens in PDP is competition of individual interest which has nothing to do with the general development of Nigeria. That is very unfortunate because they had the opportunity to demonstrate to Nigerians that they were going to be the vehicle that would provide concrete development for the people, unfortunately they missed it. “I think this is what is creating the whole opportunity today that you have APC and other political parties coming up. We are happy because it deepens the democratic space for Nigerians. It also provides opportunity for Nigerians to make option; that is the whole beauty of democracy.� He recalled having alerted the country of eventual crises in the PDP, saying, “You know, few months ago, I said it, that what is happening in Rivers State would set a bad precedent in Nigeria. I said it that it was in the interest of President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure that there was no crisis in the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and in the Niger Delta region because I | interpretations of our democratic process. “Today, you can see now that about seven governors under the leadership of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar have now created a new PDP. During the NGF crisis, the President knowing full well that Amaechi won that election, went ahead to recognize the minority group of Governor Jonah Jang. How will the President feel if in 2015 he eventually contests and wins the election and his opponent declares himself president of Nigeria?�

It is therefore no gainsaying that Corruption and Nigerian Judiciary are thick as thieves (birds of the same feather). Our highways have become deathtraps under democratic rule in Nigeria.

Our airports have become laughing stock everywhere in the world due to poor infrastructure. Most of them

are without power supply, water, toilets and good road networks as bestowed on Nigerians by Democracy.

Consumers’ headache over prepaid meters Customers of the two distribution companies of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) in Lagos desirous to acquire prepaid meters may have to wait much longer. Reason: While the distribution companies in charge of the scheme are currently battling logistic challenges, a cartel might have hijacked supply of the equipment meant for electricity billing. BIODUN AKOMOLAFE reveals details.

hile installation of pre-paid meters is yet to go far in the Lagos district, further distribution might have been suspended in the Ikeja distribution area since July last year. When Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) introduced the prepaid metering of electricity consumers in 2005, it was hailed as the / of controlling power consumption and

the issue of outrageous electricity bills consumers are forced to pay, sometimes for services not provided. Also, the company saw it as a reasonable way to reduce, if not eliminate the escalating indebtedness to it by consumers, which runs into billions of naira. But almost eight years after the introduction of the project, consumers still claim that despite the payment of the mandatory N25, 000 for the acquisition of the equipment, they still

In Lagos State, there are two distribution companies - Eko Electricity Distribution Company (Eko Disco) Limited and Ikeja Distribution Company ( Ikeja Disco) Limited. While Eko Disco takes care of distribution of electricity on Lagos Island and its environs, the Ikeja Disco is in charge on the mainland area up to some areas in Ogun State. Also, while the installation of the pre-paid meters could be regarded as successful to some extent in areas under Eko Distribution, the reverse is the case with Ikeja Disco. Investigations by Saturday Newswatch revealed that a customer under Eko Disco may not need to pay extra fee, but his counterpart in Ikeja Disco pays additional N10,000 and another installed, if it is ever supplied. Some customers who spoke with Saturday Newswatch claimed that the

Federal Government, inspite of irregular electricity supply, has defrauded them to the tune of N25,000 which they paid for meters through PHCN but never received. Mr Jude Okoye, who lives in FESTAC Town, Lagos, said after his damaged meter was taken away, he is yet to get a replacement. He claimed that Eko Disco has returned him to the old billing system, which he said was outrageous. Visibly annoyed, Okoye told Saturday Newswatch "J_ j [Y Road, FESTAC: “I paid for the prepaid meter, but they kept telling me it would soon be ready.

Aviation stakeholders trade blames as cargo warehouses remain shut Biodun Akomolafe

O

ne week after the closure of the warehouses of two major customs bonded warehouses of the cargo terminal of Murtala Mohammed International airport Lagos, there seems to be no clue as to when the warehouses would be reopened. Investigations by Saturday Newswatch into the claims of inability of warehouse operators to account for unused waybills of goods brought into their warehouses, there are other issues that needed to be cleared between the warehouse operators and the customs services. Considering the red tapeism and bureaucratic processes involved in handling issues in government circles, especially when it has become national embarrassment, sources within the cargo sector at the airport expressed the fear the issues might dragged longer than expected. Nigeria Customs Services (NCS) has since Wednesday shut down the bonded customs cargo warehouses operated by Skyway Aviation Handling Company Limited, SAHCOL, and the Nigeria Aviation Handling Company, NAHCO, at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos over improper documentation, inability to explain exit of cargo from ground handlers’ warehouses. Speaking through the Customs Public \ 'j E J Williams, the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Services (NCS), Dikko Inde Abdullahi, said that he approved the closure of the two warehouses after series of meetings with the various key players in the aviation warehouse business failed to yield positive results. Abdullahi also claimed that improper documentation, inability of ground handlers to explain exit of cargo from warehouses led to massive revenue loss for the government, which he said the service would seek to address before it re-opens the warehouses. Citing sections 145(1) (b) and 5 of the customs and excise management Act for the action, Williams also added that lack of proper documentation, non-compliance ( revenue accruable to the Federal Government as well as its national security implications forced the action of the service. series of meetings between the Customs Area Controller (CAC), Mohammed Dahiru Umar with all stakeholders, including cargo agents and freight forwarders association. She said the command acted on the approval of the comptroller general in line with the statutory powers conferred on the Nigeria Customs Service as provided under relevant sections of the Customs and Excise Management Act (CEMA) CAP C45 LFN 2004, (as amended) and other extant regulations. # ( j from the major stakeholders in the air cargo business, Nigeria Customs, NAHCO and SAHCO on how much the government has lost to this default were not successful as at ! p on her part said she could not divulge such a / !

But when our correspondent contacted Association of Nigeria Customs Licensed Agents (ANCLA), the president, Mr Igwe Adolphus, said that the body is meeting and would soon come out with a position on the development. “It is true we have not been working for a week now. We understand that talks are ongoing between the customs and warehouse operators; we shall soon come out with our positions on the crisis,� he said. But when asked if importers would not be made to pay demurrage on their goods which have overstayed in the warehouses, Igwe any importer without the necessary approval from the relevant authorities. It would be recalled that in May, 2012, a similar shutdown of activities at the cargo terminal of the Lagos International airport was experienced over what clearing agents | goods imported into the country through the airport. How the 2012 crisis was resolved was never made known to the public. While the action lasted for almost a week, importers and consumers were made to bear the cost of the shutdown and congestion that was witnessed after the issues were resolved. When Saturday Newswatch sought warehouse operators on whether importers would be charged demurrage after the issues must are resolved, for their goods which have overstayed in the warehouses considering that the delays were not caused by them, the two stakeholders responded by saying “When we get to the river we know how to cross it�. # himself as Okeremadu lamented the situation, claiming that his goods has already entered demurrage with the closure of the warehouses. He however, appealed to the warring stakeholders to resolve their crises for him to get his goods cleared so as to avoid incurring more losses. “Apart from demurrage, there are more problems beyond that. We took loans from banks and we have to pay back, but this closure; no bank wants to listen to us. And you cannot increase the price beyond reasonable level. If you try it, you are on your own,� the importer lamented.

CBN challenges NAICOM on improved insurance T Stories by y Zaka Lekan

he Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN) has called on the National Insurance Commission, (NAICOM) to improve on its insurance awareness campaign to enhance insurance penetration. Mr. Tunde Lemo, deputy governor, CBN, who spoke at a seminar in Ibadan, Oyo State, said that there is urgent need for NAICOM to collaborate with other regulatory and government agencies to step up the enforcement of compulsory insurance. He appealed to NAICOM to organise series of forum and seminars in conjunction with stakeholders to enlighten Nigerians on the importance of

He said, “Naicom should sustain its public education programme, continue to handle customers’ complaints promptly and build capacity in the industry.� He added that insurance industry has come a long way, and to lift the industry beyond its present level, the cooperation and commitment of everybody is required. Lemo further disclosed that the Nigerian Incentive Based Risk Management System for Agricultural Lending, (NIRSAL) is an initiative of CBN, which provides opportunities for the insurance companies. “NIRSAL is a dynamic and holistic

MAN appeals to FG on funding

T

he Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, (MAN) has appealed to the Federal government to fund the Bank of Industry (BoI) for improved lending to industrialists. Speaking exclusively Saturday Newswatch in Lagos recently, Acting Director General, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN), Mr Rasheed Adegbenro, said this is necessary / ~ | by operators in the manufacturing industry. Adegbenro, who pleaded to the government to improve its funding to BOI, said by doing so, the bank can lend more to industrialists to boost local production. He said manufacturers are not comfortable with the level of funding, as the amount BOI has is too small to meet the larger demand of the industry. “The sector thrives on long term funding, and commercial banks can only grant short term funding, thereby making BOI, the only source of hope for industrialists,� Adegbenro pointed out. The acting DG said that commercial banks only have short term funds to lend, which is not suitable for the manufacturing industry. Just like what is done in the agricultural sector, where the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) partners with some banks to disburse agric loans to farmers, he said manufacturers would be happy, if the apex bank can do such in the manufacturing sector. He said the sector needs a recycling loan that manufacturers can access, repay and extend to others that / ! The fund, he added, should come at a single-digit interest rate that could be accessible to majority of industrialists. Speaking earlier, Adegbenro called on government to improve the economy, by providing the needed social amenities to reduce cost of production, adding that { Z / products into the Nigeria’s market. With this, he said, local industries would spring up and provide an avenue for job creation, reduction of poverty, creation of wealth as well as contributing to the national GDP. Adegbenro said that if this is done, Nigerians would have good purchasing, thus, making the price of original products | / / !

he Federal government has said it would replicate the kind of development in the communication industry in power sector. President Goodluck Jonathan who stated this at the 2013 National Economic Summit (NES) in Abuja, recently, said the IT sector was once like what power sector, but things / ( entered the sector. This, he noted, created competition that now make Nigeria’s IT sector a fast developing market in the world. “There was a time the number of phone lines in Nigeria was 1,000, but it has increased / 7[V | entered the market. Privatisation allows such development, and that is what we are doing in the power sector.� Jonathan, who noted that the reason for the epileptic power supply in the country was as a result of government managing sector, promised that the present privatisation in the energy sector would create competition that can only yield good dividends for the country. The president disclosed that, by the time individuals and institutions come into power

generation, there is going to be competition that will boost energy supply in the country. He said that when the issue of electricity is resolved, government would be driving the economy toward an enviable height, that way, the country would realise its Vision 20:2020 objectives. Speaking earlier, Minister of Agricuture, Dr. Akinwumi Adeshina, said his ministry has mapped out plans to increase food production in the country. To this end, he disclosed that his ministry has registered about 10 million farmers in the country. “About 10 million farmers now have identity cards that capture their biometric data, under the Growth Enhancement Support scheme (GES). This will allow government to reach out to them when the need arises, monitor their progress and create a market for them,� he stressed. Adeshina noted that the Federal government was determined to supply all registered farmers fertiliser, chemicals and improved seeds as well as provide crop insurance to them in case of drought.

Business Interview

Success without successor is no success – Subomi Balogun Otunba Michael Subomi Balogun, Chairman, First City Monumental Bank (FCMB) in this interview held at his Olori Omooba’s Place, Ikoyi, Lagos, spoke about the ‘small seed’ he ‘sowed’ about 30 years ago, which has today -/124/ 56 257 89// ;6 8</ =;>/9;56 ?6561;5@ system. He also spoke on other issues. BIODUN AKOMOLAFE makes excerpts:

H

ow will you describe your Z[\]^_`jq^jxz_j q{_]q|^j}^|^~q| j market? My journey to what you see today has been divinely guided, and if you care to know the details, go to the Primrose Tower at the headquarters of the organisation you will read on the plaque: “This block, primrose tower is dedicated to the glory of God, as an embodiment of a young man’s faith in the unfailing support of the Almighty God and in his own destiny in spite of the seemingly insurmountable obstacles.� Secondly, it is also a monument of a young Nigerian’s determination to succeed, and to prove that given the opportunity, he has the might to ( ! Lastly, it serves as a lesson to all mankind that in all things, mortals may / Almighty God would have his way. That encapsulates my whole journey. I had a dream and a vision. I was cheated as an employee of another institution created by Nigerians and expatriates. I was actually the brain behind the whole thing. I went on a course to the United States and came back with ideas that we should set up a merchant bank, but when it came to selecting the chief executive, I was told that because I had a basic training in law, I could not be the chief executive. I was 42 and they brought a young man of 32 with ( Z E come and ‘boss’ me. God gave me courage and tenacity of purpose, and that gave rise to the dream and vision which was clear by nature that God gave me. Much as I knew where I was going, the vista was misty. It was unbelievable that one Nigerian would say that if he did not get a position in a bank, he would go out to set up a bank. I was trying to prove that given the opportunity and with the support of the Almighty X $ ( institution. I was trying to prove a point, but I was not arrogant, just by the grace of God. So when I felt cheated by not being allowed to head the institution created by a foreign institution, my former employers, I had the courage to resign, without anything in my pocket. I decided to start on a journey of self actualisation. It was not a proud journey; it was a journey of faith. It was turbulent and so many people still see me around after about 30 years of doing what no other Nigerian had done. Those of you who are older in the / ( $ and people who didn’t know me felt I was arrogant. I wish they learned from what happened to me by being focused ! † everything about my journey has been punctuated by my faith in God, and that faith was very strong.

So 35 years ago, without thinking $ ( resignation. Dream is a personal thing and it is known all over the world that many institutions that have become large, were started by an individual, and I had a template which in this country was either known or not known. In the world, you have heard of JP Morgan, Rockefeller, Cadbury etc.; they were all individuals, and you have heard of Sir Sigmund Warburg, who was actually my template, who started the oldest merchant bank in Britain. So, when I decided to do it, I looked for him, read his book and even visited him before he died. You divinely guided, and had been based on precedence. But in this country, for one individual to say I want to set up a bank, people thought it was sacrilegious $ ( Z $ being a pioneer. So, FCMB is a 30-year journey that was started by me. We had the old generation banks that were started by expatriates, and we had a few banks which were started by mergers, but there was no individual like in my own case. I got into it because I had a dream and vision that I put in my own personal culture of always looking for the best; culture of integrity and culture of business ethics. So when you ask how it all started; it was a dream by a young individual who felt cheated and wanted to start a bank by being a pioneer in his time. The banking industry has weathered many storms in recent times, how has FCMB survived most of the storm and come out stronger? Like a mother who has a child, though you may not walk with the child, your eyes, your mind would still be with the child. You want to see the child grow and develop. The child is able to meet up with its peers. Though at about 80, I am retired, I still continuously give advice when I am asked. Towards the end of my career, I found that investment banking was not enough compete with the other banks. When the idea of universal banking came, in addition to you being a good investment bank, you should be able to take deposits and give cheque books. From time to time, I try to give them my ideas, just like this morning (on the day of the chat), I asked why my shares on the market are not performing. I became an adviser; I took them through what is being quoted on the market. In those days, when I went to the central bank and announced that I wanted to start a bank, one young man told me that I would go to jail, obviously because he did not have faith in himself and the fact that no Nigerian had done it. I am now ( I come out with words of wisdom and

The government of Awolowo trained lawyers in the drafting of laws, not just public laws alone, but laws for ! After training in the British parliament, I continued in London. It was while I was in London that I heard of stocks and shares. That was when I had the idea ( $ ! ) that training opened my eyes. I rose to

I had set a target that at a particular time, I must allow the old order to change, yielding place to new. Success without a successor is not success. So at a point, I was thinking of the stage I would retire, and I chose the age of 70, but at 65 to 68, hell was let loose even when I knew I hadn’t done anything

some of the highest levels in the civil service, and at 28, I was the assistant parliamentary counsel of the Federation, I was the assistant legal drafts man. I got to know of NIDB- Nigerian Industrial Development Bank and I said to myself, ‘I must go there’. What I did was useful for upcoming generations, and that training ! But when I was in NIDB, and I had to / |

So that training gave me the broad mind and exposed me to ! Z be an economist or accountant before you can do what I did. So to those of you | to the voice of God, if you listen to your inner self, you can be at the top. Looking at FCMB today, would you say you are comfortable with what it has become? My mind is entrenched in something much bigger, which was why I led FCMB to be quoted on the market. That was why I also disabused the myth that the bank was only meant for elites. Go to FCMB, we are very much involved in retail banking; that is why we have grown / YVV are still growing. So, it is more or less a function of the environment that we are going the way we are going. We are just about half way to where we are going, and I thank God for the chief executive because his dreams are much wider than what I thought. He took the bank from over a hundred branches to nearly 300 branches, he has acquired nearly eight banks, and we are still growing. This means that FCMB is a dynamic Continued on Page 74

Nigeria’s potential economic ties with Taiwan how the business culture operates.

Cees Harmon

etween 2012 and 2013, China fell one place from 15th to 16th best in the world on the World Bank’s ‘ease of doing business’ ranking. Taiwan, like Hong Kong, which business arena we explored last week, is China related. Taiwan, like other countries on the continent of Asia is becoming thirstier for crude oil and natural gas as its energy needs increase yearly. With America’s reduced demand for Nigeria’s oil due to its shale gas development, there could be a perfect marriage of economic/energy interests between Nigeria and Taiwan, although distance may be a consideration. Also, sesame is a major export of Nigeria ( the purposes of export. According to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), from 2007-2009, Nigeria was the third largest exporter of sesame in the world, exporting an annual average of more than 129,000 tons. Despite this status, Nigerian sesame exporters could pursue alternative markets, especially with China (Taiwan) and South Korea, which are

volume. Understanding these markets as well as trends in alternative markets could improve prospects to increase exports of Nigerian sesame seed overall. Background to business in Taiwan According to World Business Culture, Taiwan is one of the world’s great economic success stories, having been created from scratch after about two million Chinese { escaping the clutches of the victorious communist forces. Virtually devoid of its own natural resources, Taiwan is a highly successful value-added economy, which is heavily dependent on foreign trade for survival. Taiwan’s success can, in no / ( / business gifts and hard working ethos of the mainly ethnic Chinese population. Like other countries in the region, ( / can be traced back to over the centuries and { J of obedience, hard work and respect for education. These ideals run through Taiwanese thought processes like a river. However, do not arrive in Taiwan expecting a relaxed approach to business. The will to succeed is all consuming and loyalties to the group (mainly the family) produce a cut-throat level of inter-group competition where only the strong survives. Taiwan is a place of ambiguity where traditional Confucian values compete with rampant capitalism and opportunism and where relationships are all-important - yet where negotiations can often stick on the smallest of points. Before embarking on any venture in Taiwan, make sure that all the homework is

& (

Business structures Taiwan’s economic landscape is dominated by small to medium-sized, family-controlled businesses which are usually dominated by one, older male member of the family. Thus, companies can be said to run as benevolent dictatorships where the central family member, who both expects and receives loyalty and obedience from the rest of the employees, makes all key decisions. As is typical in Confucian cultures, the quid pro quo for this respect and loyalty is that the senior manager has an almost paternal interest in the well being | & Z extend beyond the work place. Structures tend to be less rigidly hierarchical than can be found in other Asian countries, with emphasis placed ( % / done than on protocol and procedure. This { Z /

/ by the absence of large numbers of major conglomerates. In such smaller operations, the key decision-maker is able to have direct contact with all functions and at all levels, ensuring quick decision-making and supervised actions. Another by-product of the generally small nature of many Taiwanese companies is that entry barriers to the market are lower than in other countries, where a few key players tightly control many areas. Thus, many younger employees (non-family members)

business or help foreign investors carve out a market presence. Taiwanese Management Style As has already been stated, managers tend towards the authoritarian, giving instructions to subordinates which they expect to be obeyed. It would be unusual for an employee to openly question the decision of the manager. However, there may have been a great deal of behind-the-scenes consensus building undertaken prior to an instruction being given. The manager expects to be consulted prior to any actions being taken and, ( Z shown lower down the chain. Decisions taken during a meeting at which the senior manager is not present, should be viewed with some suspicion. The manager expects to be shown the respect due to his (rarely her) position and this will mean that, from a Western perspective, an undue amount of deference may be shown. Respect is given for position held, but age is also worthy of respect. It j to accept being managed by younger expatriate managers. Meetings Initial meetings are usually used to aid the relationship building process with ( business ideas on the table. It is important to take these preliminary meetings seriously and to try not to push things along quicker than the Taiwanese are comfortable with. Relationships are of primary importance in business dealings and it is very much in

{ / ! E should be made to the senior manager who will bring in experts when and where necessary. Do not be seduced into talking mainly to the best speaker of English - he may only be present because he speaks good English. It would be disrespectful to ignore the key player. Although Confucian values stress reserve and harmony, the Taiwanese can resort to aggression or at least, exasperation when confronted with obstacles or perceived intransigence. This emotion could be genuine - but it could just as easily be feigned and become part of a premeditated negotiating ploy. As in many other parts of Asia,

One of the key elements of team work in Taiwan is the need to ensure that all members can maintain ‘face’ and that nothing is done to impact negatively on an individual’s sense of ‘face’ within the group

The giving and receiving of gifts is part of the all important ritual of business relationship development - and in a country where relations are placed / / important business tool. Avoid expensive gifts, especially in the early stages of a relationship. If an expensive gift is to be given, present it to the head of the delegation as a gift for the whole group. If individual gifts are to be given, ensure all present receive one with a slightly more impressive gift going to the senior person. Single malt whiskey or cognac is always appreciated. Gifts should be wrapped and are often refused two or three times before being accepted. They are rarely opened in the presence of the giver.

One of the key elements of team work in Taiwan is the need to ensure that all members can maintain ‘face’ and that nothing is done to impact negatively on an individual’s sense of ‘face’ within the group. Thus, when working with a Taiwanese team, try to avoid incidents that could show one or more members of the team in a bad light in the presence of the others. If anything negative needs to be expressed, do it privately or even through a third party (to avoid embarrassment on all sides).

It may, therefore, be necessary to employ the use of a translator, which will further slow down an already tardy process. Be prepared for the inevitable delays and confusions. As in many Asian cultures, language is rarely used in an absolutely literal fashion. Much of what is actually meant can be hidden behind a smoke screen of vagueness and coded language. It is impolite and disrespectful to disagree openly and therefore anything other than an unequivocal ‘yes’ should be viewed with some wariness. Probe for further information, go back to the subject later in the meeting and { ! mutual comprehension. Taiwanese Dress Code Dress codes vary slightly according to size of company and industry sector. It is probably safest to err on the side of caution and wear standard, smart business ( ! ` shirts and ties and women will not feel out of place in conservative business suits (although trousers tend only to be worn on informal occasions). Bear in mind that it can be very humid at certain times of the year and extremely cold in the winter. Ensure that you have the relevant weight and type of clothing to meet the climatic conditions you will encounter. Entertainment Never underestimate the importance of business entertaining in Taiwan. It is absolutely essential in the development of successful

relationships. Entertaining should, therefore, never be regarded as a waste of time. If you invite people it is important to choose the right restaurant and local help may be needed in this. As in mainland China, dining in Taiwan can be an exhausting experience with as many as 20 courses being served at a formal banquet. These events can also last late into the night and be accompanied by large intake of alcohol. Try not to discuss business at dinner unless your hosts bring it ! more about Taiwan, Chinese food, the hosts interests etc. During a meal, the hosts will often place food on the guests’ plates but each person is also free to help himself to additional food by placing a small amount of food from a variety of dishes in his own rice bowl. Always remember to ( / ! $ / taken as a sign that you are still hungry which is probably the last thing you want to do after 20 courses. Tea is usually served at the end of a meal and this signals the end of the event. It is polite to leave at this point even if your host invites you to stay longer. Tipping is not customary in Taiwan, although most restaurants automatically add a service charge on to the bill. eDiplomat gives the following comprehensive hints about Taiwan: The people of Taiwan value hard work, patience, humility, friendliness and respect for others. They are highly motivated and centred on the extended family, their most important economic resource. They dislike loud, showy and / ! # shame on anyone (“loss of face�) brings shame to the entire family.

Beyond the Bar My client later became my wife – Adebanjo Ayodele Olalere

T

hough relatively young in the profession, compared to some of his colleagues, Kazeem Adebanjo is one of the brightest the legal profession has produced in recent times. Among his contemporaries, he stands tall. He is the immediate past chairman of the Ikorodu branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), who is gradually becoming a force to reckon with among lawyers. For those who knew his antecedents and professional quality, it did not come as a surprise when he emerged chairman of the Ikorodu NBA three years ago, a post he held for two years. Before he became chairman of the branch, Adebanjo’s professionalism and competence was already known to the national body of the NBA. As a result, in 2004, the national body appointed him member of its National Executive J ( ! " / of the General Council of the Bar, and a member of the Continued Legal Education J ( _#E ! The Ketu, Epe born lawyer who is also from a royal lineage (Prince) discharges his duties with honesty and dignity; qualities that endeared him to many of his colleagues and clients alike. As a result of j $ j / clients and professional colleagues visit him on a daily basis. He is admired and liked in his neighborhood that both young and old fondly address him as Lawyer. When Saturday Newswatch visited him for an interview, he was quick to apologize, having kept the reporter waiting for about two hours. Unlike some of his colleagues who accidentally found themselves in the legal profession, Adebanjo, from his childhood, dreamt to be in the wig and gown profession. “I loved the law profession right from my secondary school days. We used to hold sessions outside the classroom in those days, and I would demonstrate my oratory prowess to my classmates, even without elementary knowledge of what law is all about. I can tell you that it is in-born in me,� he said in answer to a question on what inspired him to study law. Though his parents were not as educated as he is now, Adebanjo said as a growing child, he learnt from his father’s native intelligence which, shaped him for his future career as a lawyer. “My father was just a secondary school / ( / he would handle it. Let me give you an example. In 1982, there was feud between ^ over whose right it was to ascend the throne. It was so tense that both groups never saw eye-to-eye. But whenever my father visited the town, both sides would come to our house to eat together and whatever decision my father took was what the town followed,� he said. E / % ( '/ E University, Ile Ife. Before studying law, he ( ? * ( admission into the Faculty of Law of the university. q$ ( ?

Adebanjo * ! $ ( ]E`# ] Admission and Matriculation Board) exams ! ( $ / ! " ( + father advised me to choose another course. It was at that stage that I chose English Arts. As fate would have it, that year I scored far / | ! p $ ( ? / $ crossed over to the law facauty,� he said. Looking back at some moments of despair in the course of practicing, Kazeem said: “Sometimes when I lose a case, I would ask myself whether there were things I did not do right that made me lose ! # $ on, most especially as I have the trust of my clients. Though there are times some clients withheld some information that would have helped their case, there are also times you would do everything perfectly, yet you will still lose. That is the time your colleagues would be telling you “you don’t / ( ‘see’ the judge.� As a young and promising lawyer, Adebanjo said he is inspired by the integrity and professionalism of the late legal luminary, Alao Aka-Bashorun. “Many lawyers have inspired me, but the one who has inspired me most and whose footsteps I would want to follow is late Alao Aka Bashorun. Law practice is about integrity and keeping up with the noble tenets of the profession. When your integrity is eroded, the whole of your practice is gone. It is easy for anybody to go on air and promote himself, but there are silent achievers in this profession who will / ! ' them was Alao Aka Bashorun. He inspired me a lot,�Kazeem said. Adebanjo is not completely a happy man. The reason is not farfetched. It has to do with the inability of some of his colleagues to live up to the nobility of the profession.

“I belong to the conservative stock of this legal profession. There are some of our colleagues who don’t believe in hard work. They want to start practicing this year, and / ] / Z after they were called to the Bar. This is what push them to doing things that are not ethical. I have been able to live above all that. Sample opinion of people around here and they would tell you the kind of person I am. I have tried to be truthful to my clients. When you bring a case, I would tell you that we can only try, if the other side has a stronger case. So once I tell you

that, you will not be disappointed if the judgment does not go our way. But I can’t place you on high hopes that you will win the case and start collecting huge fees from you, knowing that at the end, you will lose. I thank God I am okay. We all have ! $ ( another level.� * % (

Unfortunately, two weeks after, on the day of adjournment, we were told that the landlord had died. I was surprised,� he said. When he is not handling law related issues, Adebanjo said he spends his time associating with his friends and neighbours. “I am an extrovert. I love to unwind. Sometimes you would see me sit with my friends. I love being among people. When I was growing up, I used to play table tennis, but nowadays, I don’t play it often like before though I can still hold the bat very well. I used to go to night clubs before I got married but I don’t do that anymore.� In the course of practice, he met a woman who was then one of his clients and who would later become his wife. “The day I saw her, she came for a ( $

He doesn’t consider himself a wealthy man. To him, success is measured not in terms of monetary value but the value one can add to other people’s lives. “I don’t want to measure my wealth in terms of cash or assets. When we were in school, we used to make jest of some professors because of the way they dressed. All of them were lawyers. I believe in the philosophy of life that says ‘live quietly’. There is nobody that doesn’t love good things, but when it gets to the level of obsession, you will be tempted to take some steps you are not supposed to take. “Majority of our colleagues are fraudulent. We receive petitions against our colleagues even at the chairmanship level of NBA. I am not a saint, but there are some things I will not do as a lawyer,�Adebanjo Adebanjo concluded.

Politics

Stop denigrating Jonathan, Presidency – Southern youths Southern Youths Forum (SYF), a non-partisan organisation, at a recent press conference in Ibadan, expressed concern over how some members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are heating the polity. Correspondent OLUSAKIN BABALOLA takes on Comrade Oladimeji, the coordinator of the forum on some issues of national importance.

W

hat exactly is the SYF all about? The forum is the coordinating body of leaders of all political and sociocultural organisations in the 17 southern states in Nigeria. It was conglomerated to encourage young people, extensive participation in the decision making and development process in southern Nigeria, promote good governance, and radiate a sense of individual responsibility for the advancement of Nigeria at large. But looking at your members, aren’t you bothered that they are mainly from the South _‡xjˆqxz[\xj|j]_‰_~xq[n of other geo-political zones? Your observation is not correct. Our South East coordinator is Dr. Uchenna Uchera; Comrade Success Jack is our coordinator for the South South.

In any environment, there will always be dissenting views; we cannot help it. There may be rancor, but we feel such should pass through internal mechanism before it gets out if no solution could be found within. There are lots of channels for the aggrieved to express his disagreement. There are lots of avenues to resolve issues. Take for example, the crisis resulting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) convention in Abuja some days ago, and how the President was highly embarrassed. You must not forget that apart from playing politics, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan is the President of the country. Look at America; when President Barack Obama and Hillary J ticket of the party, there were

lots of abuses and politicking but immediately Obama got the ticket, everybody rallied round him. Jonathan is the President of all Nigerians. The issue is beyond the PDP. The President of Nigeria should be respected by all Nigerians. Walking out on him during the convention was unfair to j ! SYF is using this opportunity to condemn the act.

But why are you harsh on this “New PDP� considering your claim of not being partisan? Look at the issue of the people who walked out, particularly, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, who is a former Vice President. It was unfortunate. Atiku has been the catalyst of politics in this country. When the late President Umaru Yar’Adua won the presidential election, it was the same Atiku who took him to court and distracted his ( !

First, we are appealing to them to come back and realise that Nigeria is greater and bigger than any individual or group. Nigeria is our heritage. They should channel their

There is no human being that does not have political j ! p us members of the All Progressive Congress (APC), PDP, Labour Party (LP) and so on.

Really, I never dreamt of becoming an Oba (king); but my mother had this premonition way back in 1961 when I was in Primary 5. Those days, our mothers used to inquire from spiritualists regarding what their children would become in life. So, a spiritualist had told my mother that her son (me) would become an Oba, and from that moment she was overwhelmed. She told me but I waved her away, asking her not worry me.

Handling opposite sex friendship in marriage

S

Such relationships require wisdom and great caution for a married person. This is because of its consequences on the marriage if not properly handled.

Nevertheless, the truth remains that no man wants a woman who is overtly controlling, proud and rude. If this is what society terms strong and independent women, then experts say such women are generally avoided. “Our successful Nigerian women are clear examples that Nigerian men can handle successful, independent woman.

I know a couple where the man is a security j but they still respect each other regardless of the other’s occupation�. Marriage counselors posit that mutual respect is key in situations like this; especially since money is said to make the world go round. “I think most educated Nigerian men would appreciate a successful woman, however what they won’t take is a successful woman who keeps rubbing her success in their face. That is $ + ! _ ( how successful a woman gets, she should always be submissive to her husband�, says Pastor Gideon Omote. “Independent women need to understand that if you are contributing to the family unit, it’s not a cause to gloat or disrespect someone else’s contribution.

Being your own person means being willing to stand up for yourself and have your own opinions. She would be strong and secure. While men like submissive women, they still want her to be secure in herself and in the relationship.

We dated almost three years after he graduated but lost touch and both got married to other people.

In fact, I have been separated for about two years and working on a divorce. He is also having it tough in his marriage. He says nothing has altered his feelings for me and treats my kids as his. He has none yet. And he asked me to marry him. Next November would make it 10 years since we met and fell in love. What should be my reply?

Think hard about this decision you want to make but I would advise that you just don’t give him a reply yet. If he feels as in love as he says he does, he would have to become single again. Until then, you would just be ‘the other woman’. Good luck!

He called me repeatedly to go and see the mum and tell him the state of things despite the presence of his brother and sister with her. This, he doesn’t do for me yet I give him very high priority.

However, if their relationship seems abnormal like he can’t take any step without consulting his mum or undermines your position as his wife and tries to use his mother to substitute you; then you should be worried because he is a mummy’s boy.

T

he summer holidays are about to end, and many Nigerian parents are already dreading the coming weeks. All over the country, September marks the beginning of a new school year, and following the maxim that ‘education is the best legacy’, more and more parents are choosing expensive private schools for their children. E ) | E) / strike for about 10 weeks now, forcing students in governmentowned universities to remain at home. However, students in private universities go about their academic pursuits unhindered. No doubt, parents of these students have to pay a lot to keep their children in such institutions. “I have two children between the ages of two and four.

Myths and facts in dentistry

T

here are several myths and facts in dentistry. This piece will examine some of them: Myth The cause of toothache is a worm (`akokoro`) that is in the mouth, which causes dental caries (decay); that this can be killed with some powder. Fact This is untrue. Dental decay is caused by the regular interplay of factors from the bacteria present in the mouth. These are invincible and cannot be seen. There is no such `worm` in the mouth. The other factors are host salivary, / sugar present in sweets, chocolates, etc. Excessive assumption and the length of time, these items are in contact with the tooth surface. The road show often performed where by powders are put in the mouth ‰ ( saliva gathered in bowls with `worms` { / deceitfully a wicked practice. NAFDAC should police and ensure that these items are not marketed. Prosecution should be made of repeat | ! ` health education drives are essential. Myth Neonatal teeth being born with teeth are an observation and a curse from the gods, similarly the eruption of an upper tooth before a lower tooth shows a child that will become stubborn or antisocial. Fact Eruption of teeth follows a sequence of events over a period of time, the milk teeth erupting anytime from six months upwards to two and a half years and some times three years delayed tooth eruption is seen. Dental anomalies have no spiritual ( ^ are not to be seen as evil. Sometimes due to developmental instances, teeth may be retained in the jaw sockets and fail to erupt associated with defects in biochemical makeup. Excessive cell division of the tooth germ can also lead to extra teeth formation usually in the corner of the mouth and back teeth. Myth ( \ X \ ] E kidney damage/cancer because of the mercury content hence `white` colored / ( !

hen you eat, food travels from your stomach through a tube called esophagus. The esophagus connects to your stomach by a circular band of muscles called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). When you swallow, the LES relaxes to let food and liquid drain down into your stomach. Afterward, it closes up again. This stops stomach acid from flowing back up into the esophagus.

What happens when you have acid reflux disease? Sometimes your LES becomes weak or relaxes when it shouldn’t. This allows acid from the stomach to flow back up into the esophagus, or even into the throat and mouth. That is what causes heart-burn and the other symptoms of acid reflux disease.

Symptoms Ă™ Heartburn - A painful burning in the chest or mid-stomach Ă™ Chest pain - Especially when lying down or at night Ă™ Hoarseness or sore throat Ă™ Bitter or acid taste in the mouth or burning in the back of the throat Ă™ Trouble swallowing Ă™ Dry cough Ă™ Frequent burping If any of these sounds familiar, especially if they happen more than three times a week or get worse after meals, you may have acid reflux disease. It is also called GERD (Gastroesophagal Reflux Disease).

Factors that may predispose you to the condition: Ă™ Overweight Ă™ Smoking Ă™ Alcohol Ă™ Stress or strong emotions Ă™ Asthma Ă™ Diabetes Ă™ Hiatal hernia Ă™ Pregnancy Ă™ Diagnosis To find out if you have ‘Acid reflux disease,’ your doctor may first ask you questions about symptoms. He may proceed to carry out certain tests, which may include an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. This allows your doctor to look at the inner lining of your esophagus, stomach and the first part of the small intestine. He does this using a thin flexible viewing tube called endoscope. Barium meal: This involves you drinking a radio-opaque liquid and x-ray films taken to view your esophagus.
