Indeed, all of Thursday, both the local and international media were awash with speculations of the President’s proposed visit to Chibok, a development that elicited excitement. tional cable news, which attributed the information to unnamed government sources.

Like I said inside the building, before the state of emergency was declared, more than half of Borno State, for example, was in the hands of Boko Haram. “If it was not declared, what would have happened by now? I believe that extending the state of emergency is good; probably they should even go further than

I believe there is a problem on ground right now; it is like the military and the governors are working at cross purposes. “There is a problem; no good civilians out of the way and then go straight into full military,� he said.

lande, to fashion out a solution to the insurgency in North eastern Nigeria and parts of Africa. Consequently, it was further learnt that the President’s advance party to Borno State had reportedly left Abuja on Thursday. Also, some top presidential aides and other security operatives were reportedly put on alert ahead of the President’s expected departure from Abuja to Maiduguri but eventually, security considerations vitiated the earlier plan. The supposed planned visit to Chibok village, about one month after the abduction of the school girls, attracted unprecedented media attention from Thursday, up until midday yesterday, yet there was no refutation of the reports by the Presidency. But when the news intensi have aborted his proposed trip to Chibok, a development that suggested that he feared more for his life than commitment to the security of the citizens, his spokesman Reuben Abati, in a twit at about 1.30 pm yesterday, claimed that the much-

publicised visit was a rumour. “Every trip by the President is usually pre-announced. The Presidency did not at any time announce a trip to Chibok today (Friday). Ignore rumours! “The statement issued by day) indicated very clearly that the President is scheduled to travel to Paris today (Friday). It is therefore wrong and malicious to allege that a non-existent trip has been cancelled,� he said. One month after members of the Boko Haram sect, in a midnight raid, abducted the female students, security operatives are yet to establish their whereabouts and possibly rescue them. So there was excitement in the air following news that President Jonathan had planned to use the visit to do an on-the-spot assessment of the situation in Chibok, and also meet with other stakeholders in the area. the search and rescue of the girls, the President had sought assistance from the international community, and subsequently last week, accepted

Also, other world leaders and Heads of States and Governments including British $ % & eron; French President Fancois Hollande, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, among others, have aligned with America in the rescue operations. The Israeli government also pledged to send its counterterrorism experts to support and assist Nigeria’s security agencies. Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, expressed the commitment of his country to ' terrorism and also condemned the abduction of the girls. The United Nations, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL) have all expressed solidarity with Nigeria and support towards the rescue of the abducted school girls.

Meanwhile, in Paris, President Jonathan is expected to participate in the summit convened by President Hollande to discuss fresh strategies to deal with the security threat posed by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in West and Central Africa. The Presidency said yesterday that Jonathan would be joined at the summit by Heads of States and Governments of Benin Republic, Cameroon, Niger and Chad. It is also expected that Britain, United States of America and the European Union would be represented at the talks which will give special attention to the coordination and tail the destabilising activities of Boko Haram in Nigeria and neighbouring countries in the wake of the recent abduction of the college girls from Chibok.

...President didn’t plan to visit Chibok – Omeri A

lso yesterday, the Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr Mike Omeri, said news that the President was planning to visit Chibok was false and misleading. Omeri said this at a joint news conference in Abuja on the abducted Chibok schoolgirls. of State Security Service and the Police.

“The President is not going to Chibok; no information like that; it is totally false and misleading. The President, through the structures on ground in Borno State, is being represented,� Omeri said. He, however, said the possibility of the President visiting Chibok could not be ruled out, adding that it would be appropriately communicated. Omeri said that troops were in the forest searching for the girls with support from other countries and appealed to the

people not to politicise the campaign to bring back the girls. Omeri said that no one should politicise the lives of the abducted girls, stressing that such issues of national importance should not be reduced to politics. “We appeal that this should not be politicised, since we politician has accompanied us here because we are pursuing the Nigeria agenda.� Omeri commended the House of Representatives for

granting the request of the President for an extension of the state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States. Omeri announced that the extradition of Aminu Ogwuche, the alleged mastermind of the Nyanya bombing who was arrested in Sudan, was almost completed. He also said that security agencies had been put on red alert for the arrest of Rufai Abubarkar Tsiga, the alleged chief mastermind of the Nyanya motor park bombing.

President of Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), Rev. Dachollom Datiri, made the called yesterday Z the Church Headquarters in Jos saying Boko Haram is an Islamic movement geared towards eliminating Christians in the country. “Muslims should note

that they cannot and will not Islamise or achieve their Jihadist movement. Therefore, Christians must rise up and defend themselves and not give in to threats and intimidation. Christians should insist on their equal rights and advocate for justice, equity and fairness. “The Federal Government should, as a matter of urgency, apprehend and interrogate some prominent personalities and clerics in Nigeria who are implicated in one way or the other in the Boko Haram activities. The Federal Government should also modify its methods of operation

of the Joint Task Force, to improve funding and acquisition of sophisticated weapons to meet the challenges of terrorists. “Federal Government should collaborate with the international community to devise means to dislodge Boko Haram and terrorism, and investigate their sources of funding, arms and ammunition. We advise government, foreign nationals and the international community to crosscheck and verify information and materials and articles circulating on the social, print and broadcast media.� Rev. Datiri advised the

government to revitalise the educational system and design plans to avert the incidences that occurred in several schools in the North eastern region such as Buni Yadi, Chibok and several others, to curb the abduction of school children. The Church President claimed that the Boko Haram is not out to eliminate Western education, but “is a deliberately planned and sponsored by highly placed Muslim personalities in Nigeria, with massive support from international Islamic nations and organisations to attack Christians and eliminate Christianity in Nigeria�

Jega bemoans voter apathy in Nigeria Saminu Ibrahim, Abuja

C

hairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, has bemoaned poor voter participation during elections, blaming the trend on both the electorate and the political class. Jega made disclosure yesterday at the inauguration of the National Inter-Agency Advisory Committee on Voter Education and Publicity (NICVEP) held at the INEC headquarters in Abuja. His concern arose from data that the commission had collated during elections in the country. “Elections are guided by rules and regulations which stakeholders are expected to comply with; it is therefore necessary to promote positive attitudes and responses among the citizenry, encourage compliance with the regulations as well as discourage apathy, violence and all forms of malprac-

tices,� he said. The committee, according to Jega, is one of the several events listed in the 2012-2016 strategic plan geared towards preparations that would engender free, fair and credible elections next year. He noted that the committee, headed by INEC’s national commissioner in charge of Information and Publicity Committee (IPC), Dr. Chris Iyimoga, will be replicated at states and local government levels by Resident Electoral Commissioners 5 He maintained that NICVEP '9& Sections 2 and 154 of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended), which empower the commission to conduct voter and civic education as well as promote knowledge of sound democratic practices. “As the commission prepares for the 2015 general elections, there is need to boost

Politics Why we’re honouring Biafran heros May 30 – Radio director In this age of calls for true federalism, resource control and creation of more states, it would have expected that any secessionist drive should have died down. Nnamdi Kanu, director, Radio Biafra, Enugu, is one man who feels that the people of the old Eastern region were right after all in seeking to go their own way, as, according to him, the same issues that were prevalent - killings, unjust leadership and tyranny prior to the Nigerian civil war of 1967, have continued unabated. In this exclusive interview with THANKGOD OFOELUE, Kanu insists that Biafra is a dream that must be realised before 2015. He also unfolds plans by those he termed Biafrans to remember those who were killed during the civil war. Excerpts:

Nigeria has no government. What we have is a collection of

Lugard came? The answer is no. In other words, we accept that one single white man created a nation, and no single person can create a nation. Nations emerge & boundaries. But in our own case, one man came, took some part of Yoruba – there are Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo bearing Yoruba names like Adeboye. Are you telling me that somebody bearing Adeboye in Cotonou, and we have another Adeboye in Badagry, are not more closely related? What is Adeboye of Badagry doing with Okechukwu from Okigwe?

We are the only people that failed to remember those that died until our dear brother, Governor Godswill Akpabio did something about it. We commend him.

But Uwazurike stopped funding Radio Biafra after three months. We were on air for nine months, broadcasting on shortwave, which is very expensive. He stopped funding after three months, having realised how powerful Radio Biafra was. He became scared because he knew we were going to expose him, because at Radio Biafra, we take no exceptions. If I do anything wrong as a director, I expect them to expose me as well. He stopped because he was scared, or because his Hausa Fulani friends told him to stop funding the station. Every

Rivers 2015: It’s our turn, Kalabari tells Ogoni Nath Omame, Port Harcourt

O

n the strength of the growing spate of endorsement of the candidature of the Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike, for the 2015 gubernatorial election in River State, a group, representing the Kalabari ethnic nationality, an Ijaw extraction, has declared that it is the turn of the Kalabari’s to produce the next governor. According to the Kalabari group, the Se Kalabari, the Ogonis, whose indigenes have also been clamouring for the 2015 governorship, should forget the idea because a succession deal was entered into by the Kalabari elite in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 1999, that a Kalabari indigene would become the governor of Rivers State after the tenure of Dr. Peter Odili who is from Andoni (1999 – 2003), and Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi (2007 – 2015), from the Ikwerre. The Kalabari group in statement signed by Teme Comson-Higgwe, stated: “We, the Kalabaris have always held that if truth and fairness were to be the yardstick, then no group deserves the next PDP guber ticket than the Kalabari.â€? Comson-Higgwe disclosed further: “Initially, on the cards of the Rivers PDP was an executive succession order that okayed an Odili– Amaechi–Tonye Harry succession plan. It is therefore the turn of Tonye Harry’s people now.â€? The group claims that Kalabari paid the price to secure victory for the PDP by supporting Dr. Odili in 1999. “Our argument is that Rivers State ought to compensate Kalabari for the sake of yesterday. Our position is based on the fact that at inception (1998 – 1999), it was the Kalabaris that weaned, groomed and led the PDP to electoral victory. This is a milestone. It’s a feat achieved on zero grounds,â€? the statement added. The Se Kalabari group stressed that “no party had a ‘carry go’ advantage then. In the process, Kalabari had 1 1 Chief Ebenezer Isokariari. The Kalabari PDP leadership proved so sincere Chief Isokariari was denied the bulk of the votes from his home base – the Asari Local Government Area.â€? Comson-Higgwe recalled that “the January 9, 1999 guber election was herculean, in that, Chief Isokariari was so popular, so well grounded that the PDP candidate could not be defeated‌until the election culminated in a run " 8 Dš1 D™™™ 4

Gov. Amaechi Ă–= He lamented: “In December >@@š1 & & the outcome/result of its governorship primary nomination election. A distinguished Kalabari aspirant, Senator I. S. Martyns-Yellowe emerged second behind Rotimi Amaechi. But MartynsYellowe was denied his natural place. In his stead, Celestine Omehia was brought in through the back door. That is cheating: the Kalabari polity was brazenly cheated.â€? The Kalabari group recalled that upon being declared as the authentic governor of Rivers State by the Supreme Court in October 25, 2007, Prince Tonye Princewill, withdrew his electoral petition against the PDP over alleged election fraud. The group continued: “In

If the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP) insists that the governorship rotates among senatorial districts, can MOSOP explain to Rivers people why Rufus Ada-George, Omehia and Amaechi became governors, coming from the same Rivers East senatorial district?

the 2007 election season, the same Princewill, now a PDP member, did forego his gubernatorial drive because Governor Amaechi, then of the PDP, was out for a second ‡ X refrained from contesting.� $ {6 the position of his group in calling on the Ogonis to forget the 2015 governorship, stating that “between Governors Omehia and Amaechi, the Ogonis have had it so rosy out of the dividends. The high brow ‡ R State Government (SSG), has been kept exclusively for the Ogonis: Messrs Gabriel Pidomsom, Magnus Ngei Abe and George Feyii, respectively. In addition, Victor Giadom, another Ogoni, is the Commissioner for Works.� On the upland/riverine dichotomy that has welled up since the perceived candidature of Wike, an Ikwerre man who is angling to succeed Governor Amaechi, who is also from the Ikwerre ethnic extraction, the group reechoed the position of the Kalika Assembly, another Kalabari group: “If the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP) insists that the governorship rotates among senatorial districts, can MOSOP explain to Rivers people why Rufus AdaGeorge, Omehia and Amaechi became governors, coming from the same Rivers East senatorial district?� The Se Kalabari maintained that, “that question remains unanswered to this day. The reason is because senatorial district rotation is a strange song in the zoning tradition in the Rivers geo-polity. Everyone knows it’s always been on the basis of riverine/ upland divide.�

The group further elaborated: “The 1999 gesture of the Kalabari PDP was a deed of great altruism. Thus, Kalabari deserves compensation from the PDP; just as the party ought to compensate the South South {& Z President Jonathan for 2015, because it’s only the South South that has remained PDP ab ignition.â€? The position currently being canvassed by Se Kalabari and Kalika Assembly is loudly supported by Prof. Fons Amanye-Obu, a 2003 PDP governorship aspirant; Princewill, a 2007 governorship aspirant; the Kengema Unity Forum; and the Kalabari Progressive Movement, among others. They are all advocating that a politician of Kalabari extraction should succeed Governor Amaechi who is an Ikwerre man. However, MOSOP, which has continued to protest against the marginalization of the Ogonis at the federal as well as in the state insist that the Ogonis would not accept anything less than the governorship position in Rivers State. In furtherance of its ‘Ogoni 2015 Project,’ MOSOP at the end of its national congress in Bori, the headquarters of the Ogonis, issued a communiquĂŠ signed by its president, Mr. Legborsi Saro Pyagbara. MOSOP enjoined all the political parties in the state to present Ogoni indigenes as their governorship candidates. Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto, Most W 2 6 Kuka and the leader of the defunct Niger Delta Peoples’ Volunteer Force, Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, have also spoken publicly in support of an Ogoni indigene becoming the next governor of River State. Other groups that are supporting the clamour by the Ogonis to produce Governor Amaechi’s successor include the Ikwerre-Etche People’s Forum; Rivers Voice; Niger Delta Renaissance; Council of Orashi Ethnic Nationality, Kalabari Stakeholders Forum and the Ijaw Justice Forum. Others are the Hausa Community Welfare Association; Opobo Democratic Movement; Rivers Youth Movement; Obolo Consultative Forum; Kalabari Peoples’ Assembly and the Rivers Democratic Congress. The groups in separate statements maintain that it would be unfair to deny the Ogonis the opportunity of producing the next governor of Rivers State considering their contribution to the Niger Delta struggle.

2015:Nigerians in Europe drum support for Jonathan Thankgod Ofoelue, Benin

E

uropean coordinator of the G2G, a support group for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan, Prince Martins Sado, has argued that four more years of Jonathan’s government will make the country the envy of many nations in terms of development. Sado stated this after his inauguration as the European coordinator for the group in Benin City on Tuesday. Based in The Netherlands, the G2G European coordinator gave kudos to the strides which the nation has made under President Jonathan’s leadership, particularly in infrastructure renewal especially in roads and rail networks, university education and the power sector. He stressed: “We are saying that here is a good leader who has paid his dues as well as knows his onions; a leader who has what it takes to take Nigeria to the next level and has deployed all his intellect into doing just that. “We have never had a President like Dr. Jonathan and we must support him to continue the good work,� he posited. Sado commended the President’s recent hosting of the world to the Economic Forum on Africa, saying, “the fact that the forum attracted the cream of global business personalities and raised about $70 billion in pledges by development partners for Africa is an indication of the President’s global rating and an endorsement of his leadership style.� He also said the fact that the world stood still for the forum in support of Nigeria in the wake of the terror threat by the insurgent group is a vote of confidence for President Jonathan’s leadership and Nigeria. He added that the G2G campaign was beyond politics and called on all well-meaning Nigerians, especially those in the Diaspora who wish the country well irrespective of their political parties, to unite in the interest of the nation for President’s reelection.

Ebikabowei Victor Ben popularly known as General Boyloaf was acknowledged as having the most organised militant camp during the period of the Niger Delta crisis that resulted in the declaration of amnesty by the late President Umaru Yar’Adua. One of his exploits was the turned out to be the game changer that altered the dynamics of the Niger Delta struggle and made the government and the multi-national oil companies have a change of strategy in addressing the crisis. From being the lord of the creeks to becoming the chairman of Bayelsa

has really transformed. The press caught up with him recently in Lagos and he opened up on some issues of national importance. BENSON EDJEWHOVBO was there for Saturday Newswatch.

W

ould you say the demand and aspiration of the Niger Delta people have been met with the peace in the region and the obvious national economic rebound brought about by the granting of amnesty? If human demands are insatiable and human aspiration are limitless, then what do you expect of the demands and aspirations of the whole nation of Niger Delta people? Of course, our wants and aspirations are bound to be insatiable and limitless. Most Nigerians and foreigners alike think that with the amnesty programme and a son of the Niger Delta becoming president, all the problems associated with the Niger Delta region have been solved. But that is not the truth. The problems are still there and have been compounded by the fact that our brother is the president; our hands are tied and our voices sealed because we don’t want to give politicians fuel to derail the Federal Government. The issues that took us to the creek are still there; the environment is still in a state of abject degradation; the East-West road, if not for recent

: issue; oil spill here and there. We did not bargain for the presidency as a demand of the Niger Delta struggle; it was a Greek gift, given to the Niger Delta to pacify us so that the exploitation of our people and resources will continue unabated. But we accepted it because as a & & presidency by virtue of our being part of the Nigerian commonwealth & 5 & ‡ R 1 that extent while it is a fact that the amnesty programme has given impetus for rebound of the oil and gas economy and put more money into the Federal purse and brought 1 addressed the core demands of the Niger Delta people. Our irreducible minimum of expectations has not been met.

But the ex-militants in phase III, particularly those from Urhobo and Itsekiri say they are marginalised. What is your take on this? There is a kind of misconception about the amnesty programme. It is not for every ethnic group in the Niger Delta to say they are not included or are being marginalised. It is for those youths that engaged in the Niger Delta armed struggle. I personally do not like or subscribe to tribal division within the Niger Delta; but I can tell you that those youths, Urhobo, Itesekiri , Kwale, Isoko, Edo, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Fulani, Idoma, Igala, Nupe and others of various ethnic groups that one way or the other participated in the Niger Delta struggle and accepted the amnesty programme are the intended and genuine

*

of the amnesty programme because not all Ijaw youths participated in the struggle. The amnesty is for

In what ways can we address Nigeria’s security challenges for sustainable peace and development? R [& enterprise, and it is unfortunate that politicians who are in charge of our national treasury do not understand this fact. The peace we are currently enjoying in the Niger Delta came at a great cost, both in terms of money and human lives. This happens when we have social and economic disequilibrium in the country. Government must continue to invest massively in social and economic projects that will ameliorate poverty; real projects that will not be hijacked by vested interests and politicians, like they hijacked the amnesty programme. If this is sustained for a period of about 20 years, the disequilibrium in our societies will reduce gradually to a reasonable and manageable proportion.

Victor Ben (a.k.a. Boyloaf) political interests, popularity and acceptability; I have no qualms or apology about that. After all, he is the appointing authority and all accolades are due to him. What will you be doing at the CYD, given your pedigree as an ex-militant leader? Harnessing youths for sustainable development, grooming them to unleash their potentials for meaningful development are no easy task. That exactly are what we will be doing at the centre. We are evolving a strategy on how to engage all segments of our youths. It is our hope that there will not be one idle youths in Bayelsa; every one of our youths will have something to do, to contribute to society. We are also evolving a strategy to capture all our youths that may have dropped out of the school system for one

Even the greatest critics of President Jonathan agree that he means well for Nigeria. Sanusi Lamido, the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria governor even attested to it that Mr. President means well. I am convinced beyond doubt that Mr. President means well for Nigeria. He is the father of the nation and so far I am of the opinion that he has managed the affairs of Nigeria to the best of his ability and based on information available to him to make critical decisions

reason or the other. The CYD has & 5 R 1 it is going to be holistic and my background as a leader puts me in a vantage position to understand the challenges our youths are facing. It equally gives me the temperament to understand them, without being judgmental and encourages them to pick up the bits and pieces of their life and give life another shot. The CYD will create a rebounding platform for the young men and women, and through it their lives & impact on the society. What is your assessment of the security challenges of Boko Haram and how government has responded so far? My personal take on Boko Haram is akin to when we wish for something, or create a scenario. When it becomes so big it may most likely go out of the creator’s or instigator’s control as those with other objectives and agenda may run with it and give it a life of its own. From a reactionary movement trying to propagate its own brand of Islam to a political mechanism with the goal of challenging the enthronement of a minority president, Boko Haram has assumed the status of an international terror organisation. The political upheavals in the Maghreb region also contributed because arms and soldiers’ of fortune suddenly found a new territory to do business having been pursued from their hitherto bases and theatre of war. ! 5 6 " 5 & security agencies busy in the last four years or so; the entire North East, particularly Borno and Yobe states are dead socially and commercially. There is no growth there! Meanwhile, the other regions are in & 1 how small the socio-economic

5 & R 1 whose fault is it and who’s to blame? I don’t want to blame anyone, but no government will be happy to have such a crisis. The Federal and state governments should stop blaming

And how do you advise the Federal Government in taking proactive measures against Boko Haram insurgents? Nigerians have to be fair with the government on this Boko Haram issue. The government has tried all sort of strategy to get them on board; government has tried to meet them halfway, but they have not responded. Their demands are religious in nature and no responsible government will accede to such demands. Boko Haram is anti-Islam; Boko Haram is anti-North; Boko Haram is antidevelopment; Boko Haram is anti R

innocent children. Boko Haram is anti-Nigeria. Nigerians are watching, especially Niger Deltans. If within the tenure of President Jonathan, the Federal Government and Boko Haram can reach a peaceful solution and normalcy returns to the North East and a stop is put to the senseless killings of women and children, that will be good for Nigeria. But, and I repeat, if the insurgency persists the entire tenure of President Jonathan, then some of us might want to believe what others have been saying for long - that it is a political weapon to keep President Jonathan busy and restless and this feeling is not good for Nigeria. To answer you directly, the Federal Government recently launched a new approach. I think the soft strategy; this is proactive enough; let Boko Haram run with it; if they don’t and it persists then ... let’s leave it at that. But are you convinced that President Jonathan means well for Nigeria? Even the greatest critics of President Jonathan agree that he * R Lamido, the suspended Central Bank of Nigeria governor even 2 X means well. I am convinced beyond doubt that Mr. President means well for Nigeria. He is the father of the nation and so far I am of the opinion " Nigeria to the best of his ability and based on information available to him to make critical decisions.

When tough times last, tough people don’t By Samuel Ufot Ekekere

W

e are very much familiar with Robert H. Schuler’s “Tough Time Never Last But Tough People Do� dictum. My student walked into the class looking dumbfounded. He seemed lost in his words and suddenly burst into “tough time never last but tough people do�. I looked up to him and asked him why he said that. He said that’s what people always say. The student seemed right to have alluded his predicament in preparing for his university matriculation exams as tough times and yearned to be free. In his opinion, he was the tough guy, but I did not see anything tough about him. Robert Schuler’s statement follows the crowded school of thought which appeals to sympathetic minds. You hear some folk say, “c’mon bro, we are just going through tough times, we’ve got to be tough and come around this� and he pats the friend on his back. I have observed against this school of thought that when tough times last, tough people don’t. You may raise eyebrow. You’d be 5 1 % 5  standing belief? Sure, and certainly.

We hold the candle By Samuel Ufot Ekekere

C

Homes, churches, schools make use of candles during valedictory services, either in commemoration of the death of loved ones or just for illumination. If you have school or elsewhere, this story may be familiar. At the valedictory service of my secondary school many years back, all graduating students were each given # candle followed by the principal, teachers and then all the graduating students followed in an orderly manner. The hall was in a solemn mood as we held our candles and the minister prayed. The minister said, “Keep your candles glowing.� I guess my mates like myself might not have understood the undertone of those words the minister said until many years after while we worked towards a reunion. Each person had carried their candles glowing across the length and breadth of this nation and abroad. Everyone’s candle has to be lit and glowing. Our world pervades in darkness and people roam in search of light. The world needs light to lighten every corner.

Cartel’s ploy to monopolise cement market S

UDDENLY, there are calls on the Federal Government to ban the importation of the familiar 32.5 grade of cement. This followed the recent introduction of 42.5 grade into the market by some players in the cement sector. Promoters of the new grade while launching the product recently, had announced that it is the best cement available in the country, touted to be of higher quality than other existing grades. They also said that new grade will help to prevent the menace of building collapse, adding that it will guarantee to stronger structures, which Nigerians have look forward to for years. Thus, they appealed to the government to ban the old type arguing that “the 32.5 grade is easily adulterated, and has led to many failed buildings in the country.� Reacting to these claims, a member of National Institute of Building of Nigeria (NIBN), Mr. Dapo Oluwo, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch, faulted the claim that 32.5 grade of cement was responsible for building collapse in the country. Oluwo stressed that Nigerians have been using 32.5 grade of cement before Independence in 1960, adding that the product has stood the test of time. He disclosed that his father used the brand to build his house in the

Business Interview

Negative mobilisation causes unemployment – Rahmon H

ow long have you been in the paint business?

I started business quite early, I used to buy and sell building materials in 1986 to be precise. It was a bit rough then because I did not having enough capital. Later, I became a distributor of building materials and went ahead to become a paint distributor. Then I set up my own paint production industry in 1992. What has been your challenge so far? The little and insignificant production I started grew and became this large company just by the grace of God. I had encountered difficulty, especially the time I experienced fire outbreak. My company was razed by fire on two different occasions, and I lost everything I had except human lives. The first fire incident happened in 1994, two years after I started. I was discouraged, but I gained strength and continued. The second fire incident happened in 2008; again, I lost so many material belongings. What do you think is the reason Nigerian graduates are not eligible for employment? Personally, I think there had been negative mobilisation of Nigerian youths. I remember, when I was growing up, our values, norms, custom and culture were our priority. It is difficult for one to say I don’t understand my dialect or cannot speak my mother tongue. The once cherished customs and culture have been reduced and abused. We go to farm when not in school, play only when we are permitted; parents monitor activities of their children at every stage in life. We helped our parents perform domestic chores; these were the things that shaped my life, and those who were born at that time. We got the informal training which shaped our attitude outside the home. This prepared us for life challenges. We were ready to be trained unlike youths of today. Today, the youths have neglected agriculture; this is an area they will never explore. Unemployment will affect a nation whose youths are not suitable for the available job. A young man, who is supposed to study while in school, spends time chasing shadows and looking for a short way to make it big, he won’t pay attention to his school activities because other things are competing with his academic performance. This is a bitter mistake of our graduates; they are not creative thinkers though there are a quite number of them who are focused. Any person who wastes his productive years will not only be limited, but will be marginalised. Every year, a large number are graduates are churned

Owolabi Rahmon

In a abid to curb youth restiveness, the Managing Director ! ! " # $$ # % Alhaji Issa Owolabi Rahmon, who recently bagged a chieftaincy title from his community, has employed over 2000 youths and also impacted on the community. In this interview with BIANCA IBOMA, he revealed the reasons behind graduate unemployment and the way forward. Excerpts: out from schools without a plan. They don’t have the ability to be think creatively. I have met some graduates though who were posted to a particular remote village, where they identified a need, took it upon themselves to solve that need and made money from it. Those of them who had not utilised the time they had should stop complaining and face the realities of life. Everything good has never come easy, some of them cannot defend the certificate they possess. If you don’t have what an employer requires, then you cannot be hired. You went to school to acquire knowledge, it is time you branded that knowledge, you must add value; no organisation is looking for a liability; they want groomed graduates who can do the job with little or no supervision. I am a business person, I want my staff to render their services efficiently. We want graduates who can take up the job. The sad thing is that some of their parents struggled to see them through school, but they come out of school with disappointing grades. Until Nigerian graduates make up their minds not to flaunt their grade and start selling creativity, they will remain jobless.

Our graduates should develop themselves; an engineer who do not have the requisite training either as a safety officer, Autocad

specialist or any skill in the area of piping, to mention a few will never gain ground. What is the use of obtaining a first class that one cannot defend, it is just on paper as far as employers are concerned. As an employer, apart from the normal training for business developers, we encourage staff to equip themselves academically, although I prefer technocrats and those with skilled labour who already know what to do as regard their jobs. It makes production easy; I want those who will join me to build on my existing success, not otherwise. The Federal Government has consistently tackled unemployment, yet it persists. How do you think we can tackle it? I am passionate about it. I have been able to employ over 2000 young people in my company located in Badagry, but there are still unemployed youths in that region. The problem of unemployment is not for the Federal Government alone to tackle. The states governments and private sectors should be involved. We cannot afford to fold our hands without contributing to the development of our country. The society should give the youths a platform to stand on their own. Most Nigerians are searching for government jobs because of the benefits. For instance, the recent immigration aptitude test conducted nationwide attracted even those who were gainfully employed; they wanted something more beneficial. I think it has to do with the standard of living. People came to the venue in their cars, yet we are clamoring for unemployed graduates who had not secured a job. If the current job is not productive, they can do business, we should give these young ones the chance to start life with something. Also, I think better education and investment will create more jobs opportunities. The president discover what should be done by conducting a research; there should be a databank of unemployed graduates from each state while those who can add value in the government sector should be absorbed. The others should be trained to develop business ideas and become job creators; that way, we can clear the streets of unemployed graduates. Nigeria is now the largest economy in Africa according to the new rebasing, how will you access the new feat? For me, this is a classical growth without development. When the growth does not have human development, we should go back to the drawing board. The condition of the average man has not change and our challenge as a nation still remains. We must experience growth commensurate to the human capital development. In the world today, we are still mentioned among the poorest countries. There is no growth in education; quality of life is low; joblessness rates high and there is nothing tangible that has happened in the life of the Nigerian in recent times.

A property developer at Easy Homes Ventures, Mr. Agbaje Taiwo, told journalists recently in Lagos that Nigerians are having sleepless nights as a result of the hike in the price of cement across the country. Taiwo stressed that the product is too important to be left in the hands of a few players, adding that if care is not taken, government will create monopolists that will further hike the price of the product far beyond the reach of most Nigerians. According to him, cement is too important in the building and construction sector for government to leave in the hands of a few players. ‡ Nigerians to build their own homes.

Anxiety over proposed ban of ‘pure’ water T

Bianca Iboma

Abiodun Awogbemi

T

here has been uneasy calm in the manufacturing industry over a report that the Federal Government is set to ban non biodegradable materials such as polythene and plastic, which are the major raw materials used in packaging sachet water popularly known as pure water. A producer of sachet water, Mr. Olayiwola Adebo, while speaking with Saturday Newswatch said that though the Federal Government might have good intentions in terms of health, but there is need for government to give producers of the product time as well as provide alternative means to aid production as the action of the ban " increasing unemployment rate in the country, considering that the sector provides job for about ten percent of the population. Adebo explained that he has, as human and material resources, two machines, four operators, four drivers and four assistants. He added that there is also one quality ‡ 1 ‡ 1

Â&#x; ‡ 1 two cleaners. There is also a chief executive ‡ 1 there are thousands of hawkers and freelance sales agents who buy in bulk of 100 bags and sell to hawkers. “If we consider the workers and the dependants of the workers, the hawkers and independent sales group, then we will appreciate those who will join the already tensed unemployment world if government decides to ban the production of pure waterâ€? According to the Association of Table Water Producers of Nigeria, more than 11,000 companies in Nigeria are engaged in the production of sachet water. Members of the association agreed to pay the Extended Producers Responsibility Tax (EPRT) which is a levy against environmental degradation while all producers will be encouraged to have a recycling machine to recycle the nylon. Another producer, Mrs. Victoria Ajani, said the sales of the product is in response to demand, and if government places ban on the sales of the product, “we then revert " than imagined.â€? She said there has been " 5 1 if it is because of the environmental issue, government should seek a solution on how & 1 " head because of a headache. According to Mrs. Ajani, recycling of the product should be encouraged, more people should be encourage to go into recycling of the nylon or cellophane as it is done in other climes. This will also be a source of income and revenue as well as medium of employment for a lot of people; while some collect the nylon for sales others are employed at the recycling factories. The transporter, drivers and many others will derive their daily bread from the sector and soon the sector may become the highest employer of labour. Most consumers have however, queried the purity of the so called “pure waterâ€? Mr. Ayo Ogidi said some of the sachet " odour, adding that one does not have the time to inspect or access it, and even if when one can, the package must have been opened and because consumer laws just like other laws are defective, you can’t do anything as it relies on the maxim of ‘if you assert,

you must prove theory.’ So how can one & " 1 who would you prosecute, as many of the products bear false addresses and telephone numbers, and those that are genuine are too ‘big’ to be charged. He said the regulatory body is no longer regulating anything today, and as all the

targets by the Federal Government, their major concern is how to generate fund to

Another consumer said it seems that the products are no more being regulated as some of them bear fake NAFDAC numbers, and consumers are not in a position to know numbers that are genuine and those that are not. Sometimes ago, while on a factory inspection tour, NAFDAC discovered a lot of awful activities; for instance, in one of the factories, a life tortoise with a substance called Thira wrapped round it was found in the water tank used for production, while in another factory, a wrapped charm was discovered in the tank, and yet in another 1 water and sand was found. All these & & market in sales, and for their products to be irresistible to customers. These among multifaceted actions are carried out by the producers so as to outdo one another. Aside the above, the proliferation and degradation caused by the water packaging business has been of much concern to all the tiers of government as it in most cases blocks sewage/water ways thereby causing — 1 destroyed properties worth several billion of naira. Meanwhile, a pharmacist has said that

The sachet water which is consumed by a large number of the population continue to pose a big question of ‘how pure is the pure water’? This has been a subject of debate and controversy for some time now

the so called package, table or pure water are the major causes of typhoid and cholera which are ravaging the country and called on the government to outlaw the products as it had been done in some countries such as South Africa, Taiwan, Kenya, China, Hong Kong, India, Mexico, Denmark, Germany, Italy among others when it was discovered that it had done more harm than good to the people. Consequently, the National Plastic Recycling Programme (NPRP), had established nine operational facilities for recycling across the country. On its part, the Federal Ministry of Environment in its determination to check the continued environmental degradation and indiscriminate disposal of used water nylon decided on August 23, 2013 to phase out all forms of non-biodegradable components used in the manufacture of water sachet. The ministry has developed an action plan which begun in December 2013, and will last for 24 months. The ministry said it will review existing legislation on solid waste, develop a national policy frame work as well as register companies with additives, and a project that would assist plastic manufacturers to convert to bio-degradable plastic production, and give more time for more environmentally friendly option. Also the ministry has said it will embark on the training of stakeholders on sustainable biodegradable plastic production and management before enforcement. The sachet water which is consumed by a large number of the population continue to pose a big question of ‘how pure is the pure water’? This has been a subject of debate and controversy for some time now. At some point last year when the association embarked on a strike action by withdrawing their products while clamouring for an increase in the price of sachet water from N5 from N10, but the strike was short lived as it dawned on the producers that its consumers & & " Consequently, the products has become inevitable for some people for example for those in the oil producing area where their water has been contaminated with crude oil, and on Lagos Island where the water cannot be consumed hence people in these areas has hooked on to pure water. The product which is now a household item for many homes where it is seen as the only probable source of clean water has a lot of controversies trailing it. While some said that the water is tasty and smalls, some others claim that if the water is kept for some time the dirt in it would come to the fore. In all, the question remains how pure is pure water?

<

ormer international, Patrick Pascal has urged Peter Osaze Odemwingie to be of good behaviour and justify his Super Eagles recall for the World Cup, saying that Nigerians will not forgive him if he fails to deliver in Brazil. Speaking to the Newswatch Sports on phone from his base in Bauchi, Pascal said Nigerians who persuaded Eagles head coach, Stephen Keshi to include Osaze in his World Cup plans would be disappointed if the Stoke City star refuses to play himself into the national team in Brazil. “I am happy for Osaze and I hope he would use the opportunity to give

himself a new name because Nigerians are waiting for him. I hope he would behave now and humble himself to flow well with the team. You know Nigerians won’t tolerate him because they begged for his recall,� he said. The personal *<< President, Alhaji Aminu Maigari also urged Odemwingie to be at his ‘very best’ in the Eagles camp for him to raise his profile internationally and turn to a beautiful bride after the World Cup. “Osaze should know he is not growing younger. He needs to brace up and know what he’s doing now. He has been given the final chance to reshape his career and everything depends on him’, Pascal said. Pascal said his exploit in Brazil with Eagles could open

a new door for his career as scouts would invade the World Cup venue in search of talents to boost clubs campaign next season. “World Cup is the biggest stage for every good player. Osaze needs to gird his loins properly and make the best of the chance. If I were him, I would give the assignment full concentration and shame my critics,� he said. Speaking about Eagles chances in Brazil, he said Nigeria would strive hard to

break the World Cup barrier. According to him, the players and the technical crew are more concerned about Nigeria’s chances in the group which has Argentina, Bosnia and Iran. “It is a collective responsibility. Everybody is involved and I am confident that the team would do well. They would survive the test and scale the hurdles. Let’s just help them in prayers and things would work out as planned,� he said.

Omeruo envisaged that the Eagles will be up and doing and with determination, the team would excel in Brazil. He added that the team would re-enact the form that saw them through in 2013. ‘By the grace of God, the Nigerian side will shame the book makers. Eagles are not afraid of any country. The African team will exhibit her brand of football which " " && Eagles have players with big hearts to neutralise all the revamping threats. I respect

players but don’t fear any. I remain upbeat about the anticipated high performance of the Eagles. We won’t under rate or over respect any side or players. We are all plying in the same trade,’ he informed. The Middleborough player restated that the secret of doing well in a major tournament like the World Cup is for a team to develop undying spirit. The team has to be motivated and become the rallying point of all. Again, any form of distraction has to be avoided. He said the technical crew led by Stephen Keshi has been up and doing since they started the rebuilding of the team. ‘It is my belief that with proper planning, the present side will surpass the previous World Cup records of the country and create a new one everyone of us would be proud of.

r e t f a d e s o p My hubby pro ing d n a t s r e d n a mis u

n o s k c i D y b b E r, e t s a c d a o r b e c A – She is a woman of many parts - with hands in several ventures in Nigeria’s entertainment and media industries. While sitting atop an ambitious and well motivated brands management agency, Ebby Dickinson is also involved in broadcasting, theatre, audiovisual production and media relations. In this interview with TAYO MUSTAPHA, pretty Eddyy shares her past memories, capping it with the story of her professional adventures, love perception and the man in her life. The chat

C

an we meet you? I am Ebby Dickinson, a wife, mother and a professional brand communications consultant. How was your growing up? Growing up was fun, I was closer to my dad than my Mum. He took me everywhere; I was his treasure. I went to good schools back then, studied Computer Science, also trained as a Broadcaster with the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN). I further had my stage theatrics’ training under the tutelage of Prof. Bode Osanyin (now deceased).

How do you perceive celebrities? Personally, I strongly believe that the term celebrity is just the creation of the media and probably the society because I belong to the school of thought that everyone is a celebrity depending on how you ‘package’ yourself. However, going by your question, I will say there are few types or categories of celebrities that I have observed. I have seen ‘celebrities wanna be’, ‘attained celebrities’ and ‘lobbying celebrities’. ‘Celebrities wanna be’ are those that hang around celebrities and pay for controversies. ‘Attained celebrities’ are those who have walked their way through from grass to grace while ‘lobbying celebrities’ are those that want to be everywhere despite the fact that they are already known. They can pay any amount to be noticed.

Can you share your professional experience e with us? I am a woman of many y parts but all encompassed ed into one because I operate ate in different sectors but under der the same industry. I am a theatre p practitioner, pra actitioner, a broadcaster, cinematographer grapher and media management consultant. First, I have been in the entertainment industry for a while. Actually, while growing up as a child, I featured in Bendel Play House in Benin City and other children’s programmes like Children’s Time with Kate Okwechime of NTA Benin in the 70s. I featured in several stage plays directed by notable directors such as by Ben tomoloju, Nana of the Niger Delta, Left in the Cold by Bode Osanyin, Moremi Ajasoro to mention a few. Television soaps I did include Country People, US, Tinsel and Bella’s Place. As a trained broadcaster, I have presented on Radio and Television stations such as Plaza to Plaza on NTA Plus, Abuja, and Longtime No See on Star FM. I am also a professional voice - over artiste with a lot of voice over jobs to my credit. I am a member of the Association of Voice over Artiste of Nigeria (AVOA) and National Association of Nigerian Theatre Arts Practitioners (NANTAP). On the creative side, I am also into copy writing, script development and production as far as

promotional advertisement is concerned, especially about radio jingles, television commercials and documentaries. What are you actively involved in at the moment? At the moment, I am into brand management consultancy. I am a brands/ Image maker. Amongst my accounts is a recent affiliation management deal we recently signed with an international brand. I may not be able to divulge much for now because we are still putting finishing touches to the details of the contractual agreement. What does politics mean to you? To me, and going by the way it is being played in Nigeria by our politicians, I will say politics means ‘politricks’; it is very far away from what it actually means because I know it is a means of serving the people and the society but nowadays, all they are after is their own selfish interests. Politics is not about the party, it’s about the person’s integrity and dignity. Do you have any political ambition? No, not at all. I won’t touch it with a long pole. I mean honorary political appointment, yes but political ambition, no. How do you see the present democratic dispensation? It is a ‘mixed’ bag. The whole country is divided, deceitful and confused. While the President may have good intentions, he is being unfortunately choked and advised by a lot of sycophants. What are the major challenges of running your communication outfit? Like any other business in Nigeria, it’s been very challenging. The challenges vary from one to another but it all emanates from the unfavourable business climate of our Nigerian society. We are talking about lack of the basic facilities like power, road, water and what have you, up to financial limitations and most especially the gender insensitivity. What do you mean by gender insensitivity? Going by my experience in the industry where I operate, I have come to believe that a lot of sceptism and aspersions

are still being cast on the female gender, especially if she is occupying a top position or offering services that the society assumes is reserved for the males. I must appreciate a lot of Nigerian women who have risen to the challenge of addressing this issue and as well erasing such erroneous impression or belief. I also urge them not to relent in their efforts because there are still a lot of men out there who are yet to believe, appreciate and accept the fact that it’s not a man’s world alone. Our plan for the Nigerian market is to continuously project our professional expertise positively to engender people’s appreciation and patronage. Actually, the response has been a bit encouraging perhaps going by the quality of our work because while some are warm and receptive, others have a different view or perspective to what we are offering. Are you not being ‘extreme’ with your gender sentiments? No, I am not. It is just that the society, especially the Nigerian, has not been fair

to the female gender. Look around you, how many females are occupying top positions in the country’s socio-economic and political sectors? How does the rural and primitive community treat females? How does the society perceive widows? I mean I can go on and on. One thing that gladdens my heart, anyway, is that the average Nigerian woman has refused to let that continue; we have risen to take up the challenge of ensuring that men also see, appreciate and treat us as their partner and not as their subordinates. Who do you regard as your role model? First is God, and my pastor, Poju Oyemade. What is your perception of love? What type of love are you talking about? What type of love do you know? To me, there are two types of love. We have the natural platonic love and the intimate love. All in all, love, either natural or intimate is a beautiful thing

to my fashion. I am fashionable but very modest about the way I go about it. What is your own definition of style? Style, to me, is you. It is a reflection of your total person - mentally and physically. Which are you comfortable with; English or native dress? Both English and Native dresses are okay with me; I think the event will determine which I should wear most times. when it’s real especially when it comes with a lot of sincerity of purpose and commitment. Unfortunately in Nigeria today, it is no more what it should really be. It has been polluted, polarised and abused. You talk as if love has not been fair to you? No, why? I have had my own good share of love. It has been good to me, really good to me especially when we look at it from the natural and intimate level. I have and I am still experiencing true love. At least when I see the people around me, my family, my husband, of course, I am experiencing true love. How supportive is your husband in all these your endeavours? Very supportive! He has been, and still very supportive. He knows my job; he knows my passion goes into my job and he gives me all the support he can, for me to function effectively as a mother, wife and a professional. Where, when and how did you meet? I will say we met in line of duty. Can you be specific? We met like any other couple would meet. We met on the job, exchanged contacts, started as friends and ...here we are... Was it love at first sight or what? No, it wasn’t love at first sight. Like I said, we started as friends. The idea of marriage was not even on the agenda of

the relationship. It was just a mutual and platonic relationship. So, how did it metamorphose into an intimate relationship? After being very close friends, we discovered we shared a lot of things in common, which, if I may say, actually accelerated the pace and attraction. What was your response or reaction when he mooted the idea of a relationship with you? I was very sceptical about the whole thing, but I guess he was able to prove me wrong.

Are you a designer freak? I am not a designer freak, whatever tickles my fancy is what I wear. So what or who determines what you wear? Like I said, the occasion does or most times my man. Really! Your man? Yes! Is there a big deal about that? He is the one I dress for now, so he should have a say in how I look. What won’t you be caught without? My perfume. It goes everywhere I go.

How? Isn’t that obvious...where am I now? (...laughter)

How do you unwind? I listen to good music, watch nice movies and unwind privately.

How did he propose? Hmmm...well, he proposed after a misunderstanding.

What do you mean by unwind privately? Haha! Don’t ask me that.

What happened? Let’s just leave it like that. Was he romantic? Yes, he was but I have come to see that most men are mischievously romantic before marriage. Did you play hard-to-get? Of course, I did; am I not a woman? I needed to let him know and appreciate the value of whom he has as wife. How fashionable are you? I am a bit on the shy side when it comes

Where is your favourite holiday spot? The Caribbeans! What are your favourites? For food, pounded yam and banga soup; for drink, Tentudia Spanish red wine; for colour, its purple, brown, red and black. My favourite car is any Toyota brand while Yellow Diamond, XS Paco Rabane remains my favourite perfume. Any good body lotion is okay for me.

Things I can’t do now as married woman – Mercy Johnson

According to stakeholders and authorities of Nigeria’s entertainment industry, she sits amongst the top five of Nollywood’s divas considering her rating in terms of talent, earnings, public acceptance and recognition. With over 150 appearances, Mercy Johnson is perhaps Nigeria’s most soughthtafter actress. In this brief encounter with TAYO MUSTAPHA, Nollywood female icon and mother of one tells things about her life, profession, childhood memories and most importantly tly her husband, Prince Okojie. Excerpts‌

W

hat is the most negative report you have read about yourself? A lot of untrue things have been said about me, but I have come to realise that it doesn’t cost people anything to cook up lies about me. The one I remember vividly is the one they said I stole money and also snatched people’s husbands. I lost a deal worth N50million from a telecommunication company because of it.

Close to 10. Professionally and personally, what would you love to be remembered for? I would like to be remembered as someone who accomplished useful deeds. I would like to leave with the memory of someone with a good heart, who did her best to help others.

A fellow actress once said that you would go back to the As one of the top Nollywood divas, how have you labour room immediately Purity was weaned, it seems she is right, what with the pregnancy story we have been managed to maintain your position? I would have to give all glory to God how far He has hearing? helped me. I have tried as much as possible to give my I’d rather that we don’t discuss it. best to the industry yet I cannot say that I have arrived. It is obvious that I am not where I used to be. I will continue to But are you not pregnant? do more. I said I’d rather not talk about it! What does style mean to you? Style, to me, is putting on anything that makes you feel comfortable. My husband is a huge critic, so when he compliments my dressing, I feel great. He doesn’t believe that exposing anything makes you look better. He feels when you cover up, you look real nice. What is your most favourite wardrobe accessory? That will be my y wrist-watch.

Would marriage and motherhood still allow you to put on those sexy clothes? No, I don’t think so. Motherhood and marriage have changed me. I am over that because I am now a married woman and a mother. What childhood memory still makes you quiver? You see, when I cry in movies, it isn’t the script that makes me cry. y When I recall my y humble beginning, g g I give g thanks

to God. When I remember how we moved into an uncompleted building and had to take cover whenever it rained because of the condition of the house; how my brother did a menial job as a bricklayer to earn a living and those days when we rolled over a stick to cover the windows up till the point when I started acting and raised money to cover the roof‌ I recall those days we were % > „

house were not plastered, or when I had scars as a result of my several falls. How was your foray into acting like? After secondary school education, I failed the University Matriculation Examination (UME) and came back to Lagos to get a degree. While that was on, I watched Genevieve Nnaji in a movie entitled Sharon Stone. I later approached a friend for assistance to feature in a movie. He said I had a great body and that I would make a good actress. He later took me to the National Theatre, but a role did not come * entitled The Maid. What has marriage taught you? Marriage has taught me lots of things and I’ve learnt a lot since I got married too. I know that if I had gotten married earlier, I wouldn’t have made most of the errors I made. It’s good to be married to somebody that is organized; he brings you up the right way and reminds you about who you’re supposed to be. Marriage has been sweet for me because I have the best husband and daughter in the world. Being a married woman, I have learnt to tolerate things more. It has changed my perspective of life and the way I react to things. How do you spend your spare time? When I’m not at location, I spend quality time with my family. And guess what? My husband is always there for me and Purity(daughter). It’s obvious we are his priority. He’s a loving husband and father. He understands the nature of my job. He’s the best thing that has happened to me. People usually say men are not reliable. In the case of my husband, he’s a blessing. How did you meet him? We met the way any other man and woman would meet. What attracted him to you? His fearless approach. You know sometimes, you meet some guys and they get intimidated about you, but not 5 % * he said: ‘Let’s go to my house so you can cook for me’. In my mind, I was like ‘seriously, this guy doesn’t know my name’. So I said ‘My name is Mercy Johnson’, and he said ‘Yes, I know.’ How do you pamper him? Sometimes I take him out on a date or surprise him with gifts

minutes with

How about his dad? His dad is fine. He is in Port Harcourt. We are not together anymore. But we are still good friends. We are trying hard to be a unit, even though I am in Lagos and he is in Port Harcourt. But Elisha comes first!

How about your son? He is good; he is the best thing that has ever happened to me. His name is Elisha and there are so many things attached to that name. The literary meaning of his name Elisha in Hebrew means ‘My God, my salvation.’ So he’ll grow up never to forget that without God. Also, the name has a lot of meaning to me because before I had him, I had a miscarriage that I went through before I eventually had him. I was pregnant with twins, which meant double. So when he arrived, it was like God had given me double anointing back. You know God doesn’t cheat anybody. He gives you what you really need, at the time you need it.

That means you still intend to reduce further? Yeah, but people are asking me why I want to do that, because my size as it is now is quite attractive. I feel better now. Presently, it is 115. So I have lost about 95kg. If I can get to 100kg or 95kg, then I will be very happy. When I get to that point, yeah, I can share my diet recipe and perhaps help some other people who are in such situation that I have been. All my life, I have been struggling with weight. It is not easy.

But I remember you won an international beauty pageant because of your big size, why are you slimming? I think Gloria my elder sister started it. Initially, she was the biggest amongst us all. She started losing weight first. Then I was getting bigger by the day. So two years ago, after Gloria inspired me with her gradual weight loss, I started telling myself that I could do it too. I guess what eventually triggered it was that I had been big all my life but I never had any sickness or illness. It got to a point when I was beginning to feel sluggish. I felt I was suddenly trapped in my own body. There were some things that I had always loved to do, but my body was just not responding. So I was asking myself, what was happening in my body? Also I was feeling little ache at my back, and I just had a little son. So I asked myself how I was going to be enjoying and playing with my little son when I could not even lift my body. So it was not really about being prettier or being more beautiful that I lost weight. It was more about my health. Truth is that I never had health challenges attached to my former weight. At my biggest, I weighed 210 kg and I am 5 feet 11. That is a very large person! But I didn’t have ailments like diabetes, cholesterol or hypertension except for the small ache at my back. I didn’t want a situation where I had to get to where I became unhealthy. So I had to nip in the bud, the overweight. I cannot now talk about my diet because I am not through yet. I still want to go down 16-20 more kg. That is the size I feel I should keep, not because that is what health experts say, but what I feel I want.

What efforts? Trying to reduce my weight.

You look slimmer and trendier… Thanks, I guess that confirms that my efforts are really paying off.

So what are you into now? So many but we are trying to keep everything under wraps for now. Will surely unwrap it at the appropriate time.

Where have you been? I have been around - here and there trying to survive, to make ends meet.

ow is life treating you? Very well, thanks but can still be better.

n a bid to promote cultural value amongst the Yoruba race of the south-western part of Nigeria, especially Ibadan, the newly installed Magaji Aare Latoosa of Ibadan, Alhaji Hakeem Adebayo Bakare, has reiterated his quest to promote culture amongst his people. Reacting to the dwindling status of Yoruba language in the society, Aare Latoosa said some parents should be blamed as the language is at the verge of extinction. “Yorubas should form the habit of using our mother’s tongue at home to give their children the opportunity of being accustomed to our language. Anybody that puts his/her tribe’s language or dialect in relegation for another language plans its extinction. We need to change for a better society by making our language, culture and race an entity to behold”. According to Bakare, “I am from the lineage of Mohammed Obadoke, an Aare Latoosa of Ibadan land. The responsibility of an Aare is the propagation of the traditions and customs of Ibadan land and acting as the mouth-piece of the Olubadan whenever the

According to Ibinabo, “one thing hass become clear about her intentions, it d is that she is just being hysterical and have decided to raise the spectre of ‘political’ divide to prepare the way for her next course of action- which is to assume leadership of the Guild. And I ask, which Guild? The same AGN that she openly declared was non-existent or the one she failed to join until a few days ago because of her intent to contest the Presidency? But she needn’t go that far, I am very accessible. Members of the Guild can attest to that. If she truly means well and had all those great ideas to share, all she would have done was

eader of the House of Ginjah, Terry G, has disclosed that his past still haunts him. According to Terry G, “our past is always a strong determinant to how successful or otherwise we become.” Asked why corporate organisations don’t consider him for endorsement or promotional deals as other artistes of his caliber are being made brand ambassadors, Terry confessed thus: “You know what, it’s due to my past. They say your past always haunts you. I can possibly say I’ve been unlucky in that regards, but I’m still so blessed. Actually, my beginning was quite rough, but today, I still give all glory to God for what He has been able to do for me.

hort girls have some advantages in the fashion world. It can be harder for tall girls to find clothing. You can only add some much length to a pair of pants or a skirt by letting down the hemline, but you can take up a pair of pants as much as you need to get a perfect fit. If you are on the shorter side, your goal is likely to give the illusion of length. While we love the colour-block trend, it really can leave you looking blocky, with too many colours breaking up the silhouette. Try donning shades of a single colour from head to toe to really elongate the silhouette and give the illusion of height. No matter your height, you should always consider proportions when picking out a flattering outfit. For short girls, highwaisted skirts, pants, and shorts create

the look of longer legs and thus a taller silhouette. One of the most fun fashion tips for short girls is to wear high-heeled shoes. Whether you’re comfortable in platforms or just want a bit of a lift, a pair of heels will physically make you taller. If heels aren’t your thing, then try wedges or booties. They give the appearance of added height, but leave you comfortable enough to strut When it comes to dark coloured shoes, you will absolutely want to avoid any ankle straps, because they make the ankle appear wider, instead of longer. If you’re wearing shoes in a nude shade similar to your skin, you should still be okay with a thin ankle strap.

things a real gentleman does differently

hree-piece suits, pocket squares and fob watches may be coming back into fashion, but that doesn’t mean the guys wearing them can be classified as ‘gentlemen.’ Today, we’re going to have a look at the qualities a true gentleman possesses. I’d also like to point out this is just as relevant to women, because essentially, being a gentleman means not being an ‘arsehole’ to people, and there are plenty of girls who can apply this philosophy to their everyday lives. So when you’re reading these points, be aware I’m talking to both genders. Also, know you won’t be finding any rubbish about dress sense, wine knowledge or vocabulary here. 1. Respectful…to everyone I get really annoyed at the misconception that a gentleman, or an actual guy who is nice, should be respectful to a woman he is interested in. This simply perpetuates the idea that respect is merely a tool to be exchanged for sex. A true gentleman, and gentlewoman for that matter, should be polite and respectful to everyone, regardless of gender. He or she shouldn’t be using it as a means of attraction. 2. Supportive Unless his partner aims to be a crack head, a gentleman should respect her life ambitions, even if they can be difficult to achieve. In my case, my partner is incredibly supportive of my freelance writing because he is awesome and believes in me. By the same token, I don’t think it’s anyone’s sole responsibility to financially support someone who isn’t bringing anything to the table themselves. Again in my case, my partner does earn more money, but I also work two additional jobs to contribute to the household. That’s my choice, not his. In my opinion, you should never expect someone else to support your goals and dreams if you won’t support your own; financially or emotionally. 3. Honest and open A gentleman is less likely to engage in the oh-so-attractive game playing when it comes to romance. He is open and honest, because when you find the right person, neither of you feel the need to go down the road of calculating how many days after a date you should call, pretend not to actually like them so they’ll like you more, and purposely withdraw affection. 4. Always there Relationships aren’t always sunshine and rainbows. Some days they can be incredibly tough, no matter how much you love each other. A gentleman doesn’t run away when things get a little hard; he supports his partner and the relationship itself. 5. Polite … to everyone Again, politeness shouldn’t be used as a weapon for pants-dropping. A gentleman should be polite to everyone, with no ulterior motive. 6. Keep open door This may be a controversial point, because I know a lot of people hate it when guys open

doors for them. But here’s my philosophy on the subject: If I’m about to walk through a door, I always either let the person behind me go first, or keep it open for him or her once I’ve gone through. Perhaps the former is a bit much, but it’s something I’ve always done. I do however think it’s incredibly rude if I’m right behind someone and he or she lets the door close in my face. So in my humble opinion, I think a gentleman should keep a door open for someone behind him, regardless of gender or age. It’s just common courtesy. 7. They Compromise Gentlemen know compromise is a necessity when it comes to a happy, healthy relationship. Regardless of their own wants or needs (including rules about anything they have in their heads, including this list) they take their partners’ opinions and needs into consideration. Once again, the same goes for us too ladies. No matter who you are, it is not all about you. 8. Feminists Yeah, you heard me. Feel free to start writing your flame comments now if you like. Despite the fact that it’s 2014, plenty of people (both male and female) are laboring under the misconception that feminism is a dirty word. In addition, they confuse the word ‘feminism’ with ‘misandry.’ A real gentleman is aware feminism is the belief that both men and women deserve to be treated equally, and they will have absolutely no problem with that. 9. Helpful Gentlemen go out of their way to help people around them, whether they’re loved ones or someone they haven’t met. I’m not saying they need to devote their entire lives to helping others every second, but random acts of kindness never go astray. 10. Family first Whether their partner, parents and siblings or even close friends; these people will always come first to a gentleman. They don’t abandon their sick wife to go drinking with their mates, or stay home on Easter because they can’t be bothered seeing the in-laws. Family is everything to them. 11. More action…less talk A friend said to me recently, a gentleman is “someone whose actions reach further than his own self-interest.” I think that sums it up beautifully. 12. They don’t claim to be ‘Nice Guys’ Gentlemen, in the truest sense of the word, are not ‘Nice Guys.’ In case you’re unaware, ‘Nice Guys’ are dudes who claim to respect women and to be super nice and yet complain when girls don’t immediately drop their pants for them. Usually this is because the girl in question didn’t react favorably to unsolicited poetry, declarations of love, expensive presents or referring to her as “milady” within the two weeks of meeting. This is usually followed by calling her ‘slut’ or the b-word and whining about being ‘friend zoned’ again. These guys are in no way nice and are certainly not gentlemen; regardless of how many doors they open or dozens of roses they send. They simply cover up their psychological issues and inherent misogyny with a veil of outdated chivalry and fedoras.

It is an excellent source of vitamin B6, which helps brain function and convert protein to energy. In addition, watermelon is a good source of heart-healthy potassium and magnesium which helps the muscle and nerve function; it also helps maintain the body’s proper electrolyte and acidbase balance as well as lowers the risk of high blood pressure. Aside the juicy pulp, watermelon seeds are very useful. Studies have shown that the seeds of watermelon can serve as a good source of snack when dried, and they are very rich in protein. The protein in watermelon seeds consists of several amino acids, one of which is arginine which helps in regulating blood pressure and treating coronary heart disease. The seeds are also encumbered with several B vitamins such as vitamin B3 (Niacin) which is required for processing fat in the body, lowering cholesterol levels, and regulating blood sugar levels.

According to the National Institutes of Health, magnesium helps regulate blood pressure and the metabo

Dr. BhimuPatil, director of Texas A&M Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center, has researched and reported that citrulline helps to relax the blood vessels, much like drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Researchers once believed that lycopene was only in tomatoes, but the watermelon holds the highest concentration of lycopene in any fresh fruit or vegetable. Lycopene has known antioxidant qualities to keep the skin, heart and prostate healthy. Watermelon could be eaten as a snack, an appetizer or as desserts that could help one lose 5 Watermelon can be combined with fruits such as cucumber and any other fruit of one’s choice and blend together with lemon juice. Add low-fat vanilla yogurt to make it thick and a bit of low-fat milk to make it smooth. For a more frozen treat, pour the smoothie mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. Put cubes into a blender and blend until smooth. The storage methods of watermelon depends on whether you store it whole or cut into bits, but always keep it at room temperature. If watermelon is cut, to store it, cut and securely cover the cut end in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Or, „ it in an airtight container.

P

ersonally, as well as a lot of my generation, cooking represents the worst kind of irony. Feeding ourselves is our most basic human need, but for some reason no one bothered to tell us how to do it (or even that it was important to learn). So we grew up, left the house and became dependent on restaurants and instant meals, only to find out 10 years later that this “food� has been killing us slowly. Now what are we supposed to do? Learning to cook is important, but can be intimidating if you’ve never done more than boil water, open cans and zap frozen entrees. Navigating the kitchen is much easier if you know a few simple tricks that seasoned chefs take for granted. Use tongs to cooking pretty much everything Spatulas are awesome for anything that needs to be flipped or scraped, like eggs and pancakes. For everything else, tongs are the way to go. They’re much more nimble and less awkward to use, and you’ll find far fewer things jumping from your pan onto the floor. If you have non-stick cookware, be sure to use tongs with nylon tips. And always go for the 12-inchers. Store everything in Tupperware As much as I’d like to be the kind of person who trims their herbs, puts them in a vase then wraps them in a damp paper towel so they last a week, I’m way too lazy for that. The good news though is that Tupperware keeps almost everything fresh for much longer than your crisper, including berries, salad greens and produce that has already been cut. Because it is reusable, it is also more ecofriendly. If you own a knife, don’t use a garlic press Peeling and pressing garlic is a huge waste of time. To use a clove of garlic, set it on a cutting board and smash it with the flat side of a big knife (any chef’s knife will do). The papery skin will come right off, and you can mince it real quick right there in about 10 seconds. Done. Keep a separate cutting board for things you don’t want flavoured with garlic and onion Assuming you follow any recipe ever, you’ll probably be using your cutting board for cutting onions or garlic. If so, I recommend getting a separate board you keep aside for cutting fruit, cheeses and other things that you’d prefer

didn’t absorb the odours of previous meals. Herbs that are supposed to be green should be purchased fresh, not dry With the possible exception of dried oregano (great in Mexican, Greek and Italian foods), herbs are always better fresh. They’re also cheap and available almost anywhere. In particular, always buy fresh parsley, basil, cilantro, thyme, tarragon or chives if you can help it (a few should be in your fridge at all times). The dried versions are OK if not too old, but they’re very delicate and the jar will probably go bad before you use it twice. Don’t bother with pre-filled spice racks If you want spices to serve their purpose (making food taste better), you shouldn’t own a pre-filled spice rack. Spices go off quickly, and when their colour starts to dull they’ve lost a lot of their flavour. There are several dried spices that are invaluable in my kitchen (cinnamon, cloves, curry powder, cumin, coriander, chilli pepper, etc.), but you should purchase them as you need them, and in small quantities unless you use them frequently. Overcooking is probably your biggest kitchen mistake Overcooked vegetables are mushy and flavourless, overcooked meat is tough and chalky, overcooked grains are soggy and fall apart. In other words, overcooked food is bad food. Learn the art of taking food off the heat just before it is done, and let it finish cooking with its internal temperature. You can always cook it more, but you can never cook it less.

If it tastes ok but not great, it probably needs salt—and maybe some vinegar or olive oil The media loves to bash salt, but I’m not convinced that sodium (rather than processed food) is the real problem. Also, the small amount you use when cooking at home won’t compare to what you’d get at a restaurant or in a packaged meal. Though over-salted food certainly tastes bad, under-salted food is bland and boring and a little dash can often save a dish. If you think you’ve added enough salt but something is still off, try a small splash of vinegar or lemon (any acid) to brighten the flavour. If the food is dry or sticky, try adding a touch of olive oil. These three things can fix almost any lacklustre meal. Don’t buy regular big onions, use shallots or leeks For most everyday cooking, milder onions will enhance your dish and give it more nuances. Big, strong onions certainly have their place in cooking (soups, roasts, etc.), but most kitchen experiments will be improved by more subtle onion flavour. Fruit (other than berries) shouldn’t be stored in the fridge Refrigerators dull the taste of most produces, so if you bought something that doesn’t need to go in there, leave it out. Most fruits including apples, oranges, pears and bananas don’t belong in the refrigerator unless you’re not planning on eating them soon. I don’t refrigerate tomatoes, avocados or peppers either. Very hot climates are an exception, however.

Some of the kidnapped school girls By Eric Elezuo

T

he noisy dormitory was gradually giving way to quietness as the over 60 girls who board the east end axis of the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok in Borno State seem to have exhausted their girlish chit-chat, and were reluctantly dosing in various uncompromising corners and positions. They could not lay properly to sleep because two mighty issues bugged their minds. One, they wish that nature wouldn’t strike them with sleep so they could enjoy more girly gossips and two, the burden of Mathematics which was to be the next day in the Senior School $ \[

heavy in their conscience. The fear of the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents was surprisingly not entertained in their young minds. This was partly because the state was under emergency rule and more importantly, the government had assured them of adequate safety. “How prepared are you?� Gloria asked no one in particular, hoping that anyone who was still awake could answer, and the chat would continue. She is a 16 years old girl with a smooth round face, complemented with a height in consonance with her age. Hajara, who was nearest her, absolved the question with renewed fear, realising that there is no perfect preparation for Mathematics examination. For an answer, the young Moslem girl, who was still clad in her hijab, shrugged her fragile shoulders and beamed a smile, revealing a set of spotlessly well arranged set of teeth. Gloria smiled back before

1 temporarily leaving behind the town called Chibok. The time was 10pm.

Barely 45 minutes after the forceful slumber, Hajara woke with a start. She had had a dream. From her countenance, the dream didn’t appear nightmarish, and with a gentle tap, she woke her friend, who responded as if she had been waiting for the prompt. “I had a dream,â€? Hajara said, labouriously spreading her lips in a smile. “Share it, pleassssse,â€? Gloria pleaded. “We were in a resort‌,â€? Hajara started, â€œâ€Ś a kind of relaxation resort, and there were many of \ and free, and we seemed to be happy. However, there were men and women round about us who restricted most of our activities, and were teaching us a song which was though I was familiar with, but refused to comply,â€? she narrated. Gloria looked at her for a while, and with a friendly pat on her lap, she said, “go back to sleep, you need more energy to crack Mathematics tomorrow.â€? As Gloria returned to bed, she realised that she couldn’t sleep. Her mind wondered to the & & $ 5 community. As she had lived all her live there, it was easy to visualise the town bounded on various corners by Askira, Uba, Damboa, Guoza, Kaiduga, Dikwa, Bama and Sambisa Forest. Yes! Sambisa Forest; the only possible location of a resort. Then it dawned on her that Sambisa Forest was the site of the hitherto games reserve. She had not been there before, but she remembered what her father told her about the dreaded Boko Haram terrorist group – her heart sank at the thought of the name. She remembered that he said the group relocated to the reserve after they were dislodged from Maiduguri by the military. “The insurgents, in their bid to escape, entered the games reserve, 5 " 1

many of whom they killed and took possession of the place, and in extension, the entire forest, which has so far remained their stronghold,� she recollected her father’s story. Though the recollection sent cold shivers down her spine, she was consoled that her father also told her that the troops once raided the reserve, destroyed and killed all the insurgents. More so, the & & ‡ at her school gate gave her hope. She knew she shouldn’t continue to dwell on the thoughts of Boko Haram but sleep in readiness for her exams the following day.

Five minutes was too long a time to describe how long she had slept before the loud explosions of gun shots and brazen shouts of Allah Akbar 1 comforting quietness of the night. Gloria woke in confusion as other students were already running around in all direction and in no direction. She joined the mad rush, and was privileged to look through her window when she saw huge hostels. This is serious, she thought. Hajara was already by her side, holding her hands, desperate R well. She needed the comfort. They had nowhere to go as men dressed

They knew it was the last day and so in desperation, most of them courageously began to say their prayers - not for a miracle - but for the repose of souls. Then they waited! But instead of the slashing of well sharpened knives or the piercing — 1 were rather hurled forcibly outside into the waiting convoy of darkly painted trucks. In a gentle rush, the insurgents loaded them like potatoes into the waiting trucks. They were not in a hurry. They took their time.

Boko Haram: How far can for Adewale Giwa, Washington D.C

A

pril 14 was a day many Nigerians, both at home and in the Diaspora, will not forget on the spur of the moment. It was a day members of the Islamic militant group, Boko Haram, struck again in a very cruel manner, abducting over 200 students of the Federal Girls College, Chibok, Borno State. Chibok which was relatively unknown before now suddenly became popular when the students who were sitting for the West African Examination Council (WAEC) papers were packed in some trucks by the insurgents who took them to an unknown destination. The entire Chibok community in North East Nigeria has since been enveloped in fears as the whereabouts of the hapless girls have become a mystery. The Federal Government of Nigeria initially treated the issue with kid gloves when the incident was reported in the media. It did not take any serious step to find the missing girls until lately when the issue drew the attention of the international community. Ever since then it has been protest galore both in Nigeria and outside the country. Protests of all shades have continued to trail the abduction of the girls. The incident is not only unfortunate, but has caused embarrassment to Nigeria among the comity of nations. The Islamic extremist group, whose name means, ‘Western education is forbidden,’ has been terrorising some northern parts of Nigeria for four years or more. Dozens of Nigerians have been killed by the Islamic sect since its operation became known in Nigeria. Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, appeared in one of the video clips released via the internet, laughing quietly as he stood in front of an armoured personnel carrier with two masked militants wielding AK47s on either side of him. He said: “I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah.” He went further to say that “Allah has instructed me to sell them. They are his property and I will carry out his instructions.” Shekau’s shocking video message perhaps impelled the international community to beam its searchlight on Nigeria with a promise to help the country find the missing girls. The United States was the first country to lend an helping hand towards securing the release of the abducted girls from their abductors. Britain, Israel and France later signified their intentions to join in the search for the girls, who were probably taken

Obama

into the Sambisa forest in Borno State. Counter terrorism experts from all these countries have begun the search for the whereabouts of the kidnapped girls. Before the activities of Boko Haram became known to the world, observers had blamed the Federal Government of Nigeria for negligence to act fast on the matter. Many argued that the inability of the Federal Government to handle the issue with all seriousness made the sect to take over some northern parts of the country. President Barrack Obama in his reaction to the abduction of the girls expressed disappointment over the matter. He described Boko Haram as ‘’one of the worst regional terrorist organisations.” His Words: “Obviously, it’s a heartbreaking situation, an outrageous one. This may even help to mobilise the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organisation that’ s perpetrated such a terrible crime.” President Obama said the US would do everything possible to secure the release of over 200 school girls kidnapped by members of the Islamic sect. Speaking with journalists at the US Foreign Press Center in Washington, D.C, Deputy Spokesperson of the US, Marie Harf, said President Obama had provided all logistics to make sure the girls are released from their abductors. She noted that the US was only helping Nigeria to secure the girls’ release from members of Boko Haram. “In terms of the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and other folks, obviously, we already have some folks on the ground. And what we are going to assist. If you think about it, many of these girls have likely been moved out of the country, and they’re probably in much smaller groups. So, this is a very tough challenge,” she stated. The US in its effort to help

Nigeria has ordered its intelligence officials to critically study a newly released video purportedly showing some of the hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped. A press release from White House obtained by our correspondent in Washington, DC, said the development would help to quickly rescue the abducted school girls. “Our intelligence experts are combing over it, every detail of it, for clues that might help in the ongoing efforts to secure the release of the girls,” the statement added. The video showed about 100 of the nearly 200 girls taken by the radical Islamist group, praying in full-length black veils. Shekau said the girls had been converted from Christianity to Islam and offered

Foreigners have invaded our lands. They are looking for excuses to destabilise us. Orchestration of evil is going on. God took me in the spirit to the room of former President W. Bush in 2005. Bush told me in the vision that come 2015, Nigeria would not remain as a nation; but I told him that he was telling lies. I want to tell Nigerians that without the intervention of foreigners we successfully fought a civil war in this country

to trade them in exchange for members of his group imprisoned by the Nigerian government. But, the international community’s decision to help Nigeria secure the release of the girls may not have gone well with some Nigerians who have described the offer as a “slap” on Nigerians. This can be established in a video clip by Pastor Tunde Bakare, where he recently accused the Nigerian government of negligence of duty. Besides, Pastor Bakare criticised the President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for welcoming the gesture of the international community to secure the release of the abducted girls. Bakare said: “Foreigners have invaded our lands. They are looking for excuses to destabilise us. Orchestration of evil is going on. God took me in the spirit to the room of former President W. Bush in 2005. Bush told me in the vision that come 2015, Nigeria would not remain as a nation; but I told him that he was telling lies. I want to tell Nigerians that without the intervention of foreigners we successfully fought a civil war in this country.” In his swift reaction, the ConsulGeneral of Nigeria in charge of 17 states in the South East of the United States, Ambassador Geoffrey Teneilabe, while speaking with our correspondent in Atlanta, Georgia urged Nigerians to ignore the statement made by Pastor Bakare. He said: “I want to urge Nigerians to completely ignore Bakare’ s statement. America has been helpful to Nigeria. It has given us its word that it would support us, and take the lead in this rescue mission. “As a matter of fact, we need US technology, goodwill, clout, surveillance and intelligence machinery to solve the issue of Boko Haram. “Do not forget that Boko Haram is a terrorist group and terrorism is a global problem.

cannot fight terrorism alone without support from other countries. “The realities are facing us, and we should be able to address these realities. By Bakare’s statement, what is the solution? Do we fold our arms and allow Boko Haram to take over the country?� He urged Nigerians to set aside fears and welcome all the countries coming to assist it, and also make maximum use of their experiences to wipe out Boko Haram from the country. He noted that Boko Haram is being sponsored by some politicians designed to undermine the administration of President Jonathan. “If you go back to history, you know that Boko Haram started increasing its muscles after the last election that brought President Jonathan in. There is a lot of politics involved in the issue. After the election, they started burning houses, killing innocent people and other criminal activities in some parts of northern Nigeria. Since then, the group has been terrorising the nation. His words: “The fact is that Boko Haram does not want President Jonathan to rule; they want to frustrate him, and also make the country ungovernable for him.� However, some Nigerians in the US have hailed President 9 help Nigeria secure the release of the school girls from their abductors. Speaking with our correspondent in separate interviews, a Philadelphia based- Nigerian, Awe Ayodele Benjamin, described it as a welcome development. He, however, said there was need for the Federal Government of Nigeria to bury its head in shame, since it could not find a lasting solution to the continued state of insecurity in the country. He believed that the intervention of American soldiers would go a long way to curb the activities of members of the Islamic sects in the North. “It is a good development,

Netanyahu

since the Nigerian government has failed to secure the release of the school girls. The development is a sign of relief to Nigerians. We know what America is capable doing. “Besides, the US is telling the whole world that security is nothing to write home about in Nigeria. I must confess to you that I am very sad to continue hearing the news of security challenges, either on television screens or in pages of newspapers about Nigeria. We know that there is no perfection in security, but the Nigeria’s case is so porous to the extent that some set of people could enter a school and take the young ladies away, with the Nigerian government sitting down there playing politics over the matter,� he stated. Also, Mr. Longinus Nnodim believes that the development, which has attracted international community to Nigeria would put an end to the insecurity and Boko Haram activities in the country. He said: “By the time international security experts

I tell you if President Jonathan tells Nigerians he would not run President for a issue of Boko € _

captures the leaders/leader of Boko Haram, you will see that insecurity will become a thing of the past in Nigeria. This is the time to bring back the glory of Nigeria. We have never had it before; the international community has volunteered to help Nigeria locate those girls.� Chief Nnodim, who is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chairman in South Carolina, noted that Boko Haram is designated to discredit the administration of President Jonathan. “I tell you if President Jonathan tells Nigerians he would not run for the office of President for a second term, the issue of Boko Haram will not come up again.

The exchanging of business cards when doing business in Japan involves a degree of ceremony. The card is seen to represent the individual, so should be treated with respect.

The cultural logic behind this is that by avoiding direct or explicit statements, " When doing business in Japan, clarify meanings and dig deeper for more information. The Japanese are implicit communicators. An explicit communicator assumes the listener is unaware of background information or related issues to the topic of discussion and provides it themselves. The Japanese however, assume the listener is well informed on the subject and minimises information relayed on the premise that the listener will understand from implication.

Implementation of post-election violence reports key to peace in Kaduna – Goje of peace in the area. The meeting we had is not the last and it may important thing is that we come to the point of convergence, and have created an avenue for us to discuss at a wider level. This time, it is involving the elites from both sides. What we are concerned with at the moment is how this initiative can go down to the grassroots for maximum utilisation. We hope we will start meeting and go down to the grassroots to tell them of the new thinking that there should be no more violence and whoever foments trouble, will be exposed him to the appropriate authorities for necessary action.

A peace agreement was recently signed between the Southern Kaduna people and the Fulani people in the area to end the security challenges facing the people. National president of Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), Dr. Ephraim Goje, told newsmen in Kaduna that if suggestions by the committee and other panels of enquiries are sincerely implemented by government, peace would soon return to the state. Correspondent BABA NEGEDU the excerpts.

R

ecently, SOKAPU and the Fulani people in your area signed a peace agreement. How do you see the agreement; can it ensure the eluding peace? I will like to state that the initiative was not ours; it was not the state government’s initiative, it was the initiative of the Inspector General of Police. Through it, he reconstituted his own peace and

been initiated. They have been to Nasarawa, Benue and Plateau states after coming to Kaduna State. They have also been to Zamfara State. The invitation was at a very short notice and we didn’t have much detail as to the motives behind it. When we came to the meeting, we discovered that our chiefs were there; the Fulani community was there and a few other groups from Southern Kaduna were also there, it was then we got to understand that it was actually a wider consultation. I strongly believe that there was communication problem. The team arrived late and our chiefs had stayed for too long and decided to leave. But based on consultation, we stayed and whatever we discussed will be communicated to them and that we have done. They called and explained to us that they wanted us to talk with the Fulani and that we have been leaving together for long. We saw it as a welcome development but at that moment we hadn’t any submission to make. After we had met, we went into discussion with a select number of people from the Fulani side and our people though the security agents were not there. They showed us some samples of statements in places they had been to. It was much of an appeal or what one could call a communiquÊ. It wasn’t anything that could be called a legal document but an appeal to our people to desist from any act of hostility which could be aggression or counter aggression. We said it was a good initiative because peace is the panacea for development in any society. We felt that if we have been living together with the Fulani for decades in peace and from

nowhere we have found ourselves in this situation where people have been killed, villages have been completely razed, property destroyed and people are living in a state of uncertainty, something urgent needs be done to ensure peace among us and whichever way the peace initiative comes from, we accepted because the ultimate aim is to ensure mutual trust among ourselves. We went into discussion and what the document that came out is saying is that we are calling on our people to eschew violence and put an end to any form of hostility. We are saying that whoever is engaged in any act of violence or anything that will bring a breach of the peace, the law should take its course in such & 1 placed. When you don’t punish, you are creating an atmosphere of continuous violence in the society. The last portion of the document is saying that we should suggest ways and means government and individuals could come in and ensure peaceful coexistence in the area. We had 15 suggestions but that does not mean we have exhausted all avenues for peaceful resolutions. One of the ways we suggested to government was that

& peace and reconciliation on the post Presidential election in 2011 and one of the recommendations we and the Fulani reached was that government must implement that report and even previous & in our various communities. #

a ministry for peace and reconciliation which will be actively involved in mediation — communities in the state. It could take suggestions from individuals and groups to government for immediate action. These were some of the suggestions we made. We suggested that the issue of the old method of rearing animals should be discarded by the Fulani because in developed societies, animals don’t roam; so that modern form of animal husbandry should be encouraged so that we can avoid a situation where the herdsmen move with their animals from place to place

Goje in search of pasture thereby creating problems. Another thing we suggested has to do with the traditional method of security surveillance where anybody who comes into a community, the chief or traditional ruler should be able to know who that person is, where is he coming from, what is he there to do, what is his character so that for the period of time he stays and when he is leaving, somebody would be able to give a report of his character to avoid a situation where a criminal after running away from a certain community will come and hide in a certain place to create problems. We suggested that the traditional rulers should have a prominent & and we unanimously agreed that the discussion will form a platform on which all other peace

initiatives could be built. We

able to come up with a platform under which we would consult at a wider level and all stakeholders will be brought in before government comes in to assist. If we do that at a round table, the message will be understood to all; then we would have carried everybody along in ensuring peace and understanding in the area. That is what we are hoping to achieve. Since it was neither the Southern Kaduna people nor the Fulani from the area that initiated the peace move, do you think it will succeed since it was a third party that brought this idea to the warring factions? % the idea; what is important is that we have been able to come together to sit on a round table with the two parties coming together to discuss an issue that concern all of them. The success of that discussion is a collective

" < community and our people. All of us need peace; if it fails all of us have failed; if we don’t talk, then we have more dangers ahead of us. Coming together to talk is part of this initiative. Who is that person that is not interested in peace? All of us are interested in peace for us to go about our daily activities. It is a collective

4 1 it will be a model to other states that are in this type of situation to emulate. The main problem in the 1 for them to desist from restiveness and avoid taking the law into their hands. These are some of the issues we are going to discuss when we meet with the youths. Do you see the people, especially the Fulani genuinely interested in this peace initiative? Though you can’t read the heart of a human being, from the nature of the discussion, participation in the discussion we had, there was so much excitement. They discussed freely and we contributed freely from both sides. When somebody is not talking, it is a bad situation but when one is talking, it gives an indication that something positive is likely to happen. As l told you, it was just a one-day discussion. As the discussion went, those we met with if they are not the real persons, they may be able to help us get the real people involved in the act. The people we met with if they are the ones, it means we have a solution to our problem. But, if they are not the ones, they will assist us get those involved. In the end whoever is responsible for all that has been happening, we will talk to ourselves on how to resolve the issue. What should be the role of the state government towards ensuring peace in the area and the state as a whole? I have said it initially that we have made several suggestions to the state government on the ways it can bring about peace in the area. If they are sincere in what they are doing towards ensuring peace in the area and the state everything will be okay.

Skills for sexual satisfaction

L ove w i t h o u

continued from last week

S

ex is more than “1, 2�, like someone described the act of sex, or rising and digging. I mean what gives a couple maximum pleasures or best satisfaction is more than entering and coming out of the female virginal. For a couple to enjoy maximum sexual pleasure there is a way to go about it. This knowledge is what is lacking in many marriages, and it is causing a lot of pains, heartaches, and great disappointment for & # among married people. Like a man responded to last week’s write up in this column, a lot of men in the middle age bracket are fast losing their wives to other men, who have learnt and internalized the skills needed to give a woman sexual pleasure. Of course, this is also the reason why some men engage in extra-marital. Why the knowledge of sexual skill is lacking among couples is due to the fact that the skills are not inborn, but have to be acquired by individuals. It is not something that comes with individuals at birth (, both male and female), but has to be acquired through the process of learning, and by experience garnered by couples in the act of sexual intercourse. Of course, it is not an easy thing to acquire these skills, just like learning other of human endeavor is not easy. It requires commitment, patience, understanding, time, money and energy. This is why a lot of people ‡ 5 To a few others, it is simply unnecessary and unimaginable to start learning the skills needed for maximum sexual pleasure. Thus, they don’t even get started at all, not to talk of improving on the skill. Whatever they have been able to pick up in the process of sexual intercourse experience, or hear say from friends, and in public gatherings, are the bedrock of their sex life. No wonder they keep wondering why there are so many problems bedeviling them as married people. Without [ 1 " more from other challenges of life the couple will face. Another thing in this part of the world is that parents, religious organizations etc do not have any formal method of educating their young ones about the act of sex. Like it has been rightly pointed out by many respondents of this column and at other forum of marital interaction, no father or mother ever sat down

" & 5 sexual satisfaction. Rather, they expected them to learn when they got married. When I got married my husband and I did not know any skill at all. All that we knew was just to lie on top of each other, and then do whatever that ought to be done. But we later discovered that there must be more to this thing called sex. Skills must be acquired for sexual satisfaction. Of course, children were coming through whatever we were having as sex, and the joy of having those children & [ & ! 1 only last for awhile, after which, we became Skill s for sexual pleasure or satisfaction includes the following to mention but a few. *Understanding the most important sex organs of couple, for a woman, it is the mind, while for the man it is the rod (male organ) these must be worked upon and maintained if they will produce maximum satisfaction for the couple. *striking ways to give a woman maximum sexual pleasure.

2. Listen to them By Amina Brai Omoike

I

t might be easy to say ‘I love you’, but can you show your love without using words? Actions, they say, speak louder than words. And when it comes to love, it is important to learn how to express love without words. Many people have been in relationships where they hear the three words over and over again but don’t receive the gestures and emotions the words carry. However, this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t express your words to those you love. Just try to show your partner, friend or parent you love them once in a while, in order to have stronger relationship. 1. Make time for them No matter how busy you are, you should always find time for those you love. You might have plenty of important tasks and meetings and maybe your partner, parent or friend understand it. But it’s not difficult to pick the phone to call them and ask how their day is going. Or, take a small break and drink coffee together. A weekend picnic is also a great idea. The greatest way to let a person know that you love them is to give your undivided attention, and to be fully present when they’re around. Put away the never-ending work, put aside the hobby, turn off the TV, and find time to spend together, just being.

One of the simplest ways to show your love without words is to listen to them. Be a good listener. When you sincerely listen to someone, you’re not only opening your ears, but you’re also opening your heart. By empathizing, you will strengthen your connection and deepen your love. Listen to each word they say even when it’s boring or you just don’t like the topic of conversation. If they ask you whether they’ve told you this story before, why not say “Yes, but could you tell it again because I’ve forgotten some details?� If they love telling this particular story over and over again, don’t interrupt and simply listen to them. 3. Kisses and hugs When it comes to showing somebody you love them without using words, the warmth of kisses and hugs are the best. Whether it’s a kiss good morning or good night or a hug to let them know you care or simply miss them, this is a great way to express your love. A hug speaks more than words ever could. It says “I love you� as well as letting the person receiving the hug know that you care and support them. 4. Make their life easier This does not mean you should give them money or accomplish all their tasks or do anything like this. It simply means that you should do the small things such as taking out the trash or buying necessary foods without being

asked, or doing something that they don’t enjoy doing. Although it may seem like little things, if you do them you can make the person’s life a bit easier. Also, when you love someone, you love seeing them happy, and nothing exhibits happiness like genuine laughter. So, be laid back, lighthearted, and playful. See how many times in one day you can make the person smile or laugh. It’s especially great to try and make someone laugh when they’re not supposed to laugh. 5. Random surprises Everyone loves random surprises. When you listen to everything the person says, you learn a lot about them. It could be something like a childhood fantasy or favourite – a movie you enjoyed as a child, a place you always wanted to visit or something you have always wanted but never got. This would show your partner that you really listens to stories he / she tells you.

ROMANCE TIPS ‰ Fill bathtub with warm water sprinkled with rose petals. ‰ Fix a hot cup of Raspberry Chocolate, cuddle in a warm afghan and watch a romantic movie. ‰ Leave a trail of “Hershey’s chocolate kisses� from the front door to the bedroom, right up to the bed. On the bed leave a note that reads ‘I kiss the ground you walk on.’ Make sure you’re not home when s/he gets in!

A

man, Alhaji Sule Toheeb, has told an Ilorin Area Court that his wife, Saidat Toheeb, was always threatening to kill him. Toheeb, 36, who resided at Amilegbe area of Ilorin, prayed the court to dissolve his four-yearold marriage to Saidat for being a threat to his life. ``My wife gets angry at any slightest provocation and always promise to kill me whenever I try to correct her wrong attitude,’’ he said. He told the court that his wife always refuse to carry out his orders, and would at times threaten to arrest him if he disturbed her life. Toheeb said that their marriage was contracted in 2010 and was yet to produce any child. ``My Lord, I want an end to this marriage because I cannot withstand my wife’s threat because my life is in danger,’’ he said. However, the defendant objected to the prayer, saying she was still interested in the marriage. ``My husband always provoke me to threaten him due to his rigid nature; but I promise to be submissive to my husband,’’ she said. She prayed the court for an adjournment to enable her make a reconciliatory move. The presiding officer, Mr Yusuf Abdulkareem, adjourned the case to June 5 for a report of settlement or continuation of hearing.

6. Send a care package If someone you love lives far away from you, why not send them a care package? When it comes to love, distance is not a problem and you can still show them you really care about them. A package of the small things you know they’ll need or like is what you need to show your love without words. Wherever you are, whether at the dinner table seated opposite one another, or across the auditorium, try to connect and send one another love. Blow kisses, play footsie, smile knowingly or wink! 7. Cook for them It is often said that the way to a man’s heart is through is stomach. For women, it is not too different either. Many people typically cook on special occasions such as Thanksgiving Day, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and birthdays, but why not cook something special for someone you love? Figure out their favourite meal and try to make it today. You can even cook it and surprise the person at their workplace or college. 8. Support them Everyone makes mistakes, it is human nature. So it’s important to support someone you love during the hard times. Even if you told them not

Forever in love...

to do it, but they still did it and now regret it, don’t tell them “I told you so.� Support them and tell that we need mistakes and everybody messes up, we just have to learn from them and move on. Learning to show your love without words doesn’t have to be difficult; even the smallest thing can make a big difference in someone’s day. Feel free to express yourself through your good actions instead of telling words but make sure you do it sincerely.

Actions, they say, speak louder than words. And when it comes to love, it is important to learn how to express love without words Patrick & Andrea Affun cutting their wedding cake.

Should couples exchange passwords? Everyone says trust is key in marriage but does it extend to such things as ATM pin numbers, social media or email passwords? AMINA BRAI OMOIKE seeks answers.

W

hat are marriage and vows for? You should be totally open and transparent with each other – Babatunde My hubby’s phone has a password and he encourages me to do the same to my phone because of friends who search phones; but as partners, we use the same password on our phones so there is nothing hidden. So as a couple, you should not hide anything from one another. Trust is the key – Adetoyin

If you have to password your phones, let your partner know the password. I know my husband’s password yet I don’t bother checking his phone but maybe if he hid the password, I might actually be worried – Anthonia Trust is a great key for a successful relationship. Naturally, I keep passwords and motives count also – Yomi Passwords are no big deal for me. As for my boyfriend / husband, you can go & 1 5 pages if you want. No big deal. You can even have my ATM card pin though that is strictly for my hubby – Vivian In marriage, you make vows to be honest and respectful so I don’t see why a man or woman should be hiding anything from the other partner – Emma

I can’t give my boyfriend my e-mail account password not to talk of ATM pin code. But it amazed me when my boyfriend gave me his e-mail password and he even told me that, he has two e-mails – Sarah I think it’s only my dad that knows my ATM pin and the possibility of my dad duping me is 0/100. For girl friend, I will be the last person on earth to do that. I rather show it to my sister than girlfriend – Henry I will give my husband my ATM number and my email address because I do not have anything to hide, but will set up a email account for my girlfriends 1 not give it to my husband for he doesn’t need to know what my girlfriends issues are – Queen I would gladly give my husband or boyfriend my email account password(s) but not my ATM password(s). Equally, I wouldn’t expect my husband or boyfriend to give me his ATM password but would expect him to give me his email account password(s). In my line of work, I have seen too many instances of couples & & & the other party has cleaned out the bank account(s) prior to announcing the split. Thus, I do not believe in having only a

joint account as a couple. Sure, we can both open an account together to pool money for bills, entertainment etc but I think that each should maintain their own personal accounts. Heck, we could just keep two separate accounts and just decide ahead of time who will be responsible for which bill(s) and simple pay them from our individual accounts. Not everyone may share this ideology but again, in my line of work I’ve seen the that can occur when couples stop being * & picture – Chidi

like maybe if I wasn’t able to check my email myself or get money out of the ATM myself or something; I would never do that randomly as an expression of trust or love or something. There’s nothing funny going on in my e-mail but I think everyone &

Anti-World Cup protests cripple Brazil A

nti World Cup protests nti-World in 12 cities have marked the worst day in another awful week for Brazil as the government struggles with strikes, crime and public unease less than a month before the tournament kicks " Co-ordinated demonstrations in Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte and elsewhere coincided with a military police strike – and spate of murders – in another World Cup host city, Recife, to add to the organisers’ headaches as hundreds of thousands & 1 ‡ & & — The events follow industrial action in Rio earlier in the week by teachers, bus drivers, museum employees and geologists, and underline longer term concerns about public safety and transport infrastructure.

(The Cup will have protests), appeals for a general strike and claims that the cost of refurbishing the MaracanĂŁ stadium could pay for 200 schools, the demonstrators rallied with striking workers in the broadest show of dissent in several months. Many of those present cited the proximity of the tournament and the global driver for their actions. “The world is looking to Brazil and we are showing that the World Cup doesn’t represent us,â€? said Felipe Mesquita, a history student at the Fluminense Federal University. “I like football. I like the national team but we also have to think about what the World Cup means. We shouldn’t accept all the bad things that go with it such

Since then the decision has been dogged by controversies over the validity of the vote, the treatment of foreign workers employed on World Cup infrastructure projects, as well as the date of the tournament.

urkey-based Nigerian defender, Taye Ismaila Taiwo is disappointed he was included in Super Eagles list to the Brazil World Cup. In an interview with the 5 5 "* 1 # said: “I’m really disappointed because I’m a Nigerian player. But I can’t say I want to stop playing for the national team. Life is all about understanding. Maybe this period our coach doesn’t want me. But that is not a problem for me. There are people who have played there before who are not there anymore. If they call me, I will come. Even in Europe when they bring a new coach, there is a lot of changes sometimes. Sometimes the new coach doesn’t have you in his plans. Everywhere, even in Europe, the coach has his own players that he wants. If the coach doesn’t believe in you, no 1 can’t do anything about it. Talking about Eagles chances in the World Cup, Taiwo urged the team to prepare for Argentina, saying that the South Americans would give Nigeria problem in the group. “Argentina will be our most ‡ && have a problem with them. But the other teams, I don’t think we will have a problem with them. But it’s all about commitment. We don’t have to make any stupid mistakes, like what happened in South Africa last time. We had all the opportunity in our hands and we threw it away. The most important thing

4 get three points there. If not, it is over.� On how to survive the group, he said: “The most important thing is not to think how far we can go, but to play one game at a time. Every game we play is very important. If we play 1

points, then the boys will have in the second game and get what they want. But if we % 1 there is pressure immediately and the second game becomes harder. So if we want to get three points, we have to work hard, be focused and play as a team. If we don’t play as a team we will never get three points.� On why coach Stephen Keshi refused to call him, he said: “No. I don’t really know why. But as I always say to myself. Even my teammates ask me and I say I don’t know. If you play very well in your club you deserve to be in the national team. If you don’t play very well, you don’t deserve to go. Maybe the coach doesn’t want me in the team because he knows that if he calls me to come and play for Nigeria with his boys, I will never sit on the bench for his boys. So maybe that is why he decided he doesn’t want me to come. Because if I come, I will surely play. So he doesn’t want me to play because he knows that if he calls me, I will not come and sit on the bench for his players. It’s not going to be possible. I don’t have any problem with him but I was really really sad because I did not believe that I would not go to the World Cup with the way I’m playing for my club. “

Yes, because we don’t put our hopes on individual players. The strength of the team is unity and the spirit in the camp is

very strong. Also, having the ‘Big Boss’ (Stephen Keshi) is good for us, because the players listen to him and that is something very important. He pushes them to the limit and if you put those together, we are strong. We don’t rely on one man. ‹ Â’ ÂŒ ¢ ÂŒ

will play a pivotal role for Nigeria? Mikel Obi is a man who controls the team and coming from a big club Chelsea, all eyes will be on him. We also have Emmanuel Emenike, who I reckon wants to make his mark in the World Cup. He did that in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and I have no doubt he can do it on a world stage as well.

Do you think the current Bafana team is anywhere close to that � ” No! I have seen the current team play even in the CHAN tournament earlier this year and I expected them to win with all those players who even featured in the 2010 World Cup. During Radebe’s time, Bafana played with heart and they didn’t want to disappoint anybody. They had the passion, but not with the current generation. The current Bafana players must realise that when you are & 1 " playing for the national team. The national team is bigger than clubs, so you have to give more when you are in national colours. Bafana are giving their best, but it is just not enough, so I’m not saying they are not giving their best but what I’m saying is that they must do more. Also, physically they are not really that strong compared to the time of Radebe. I don’t know what happened, ! is enough and refuse to be bullied anymore. When you have the physique, sometimes you can play ugly and win the games. ’ Œ — Œ� Œ � Œ ”

f you had watched the CNN channels in the United States of America last week, you will be ‘assaulted’ with the story of one old man named Donald Sterling, who seemingly committed ‘harakiri’ by making what Americans called racist comments to his girl friend. Donald Sterling, a Jewish American, who is a very successful sports entrepreneur, owns the LA Clippers, a professional Basketball team that is part of the National Basketball Association got into big time trouble by making racist comments recently. He castigated his girl friend, Stiviano, for going out with black boys and bringing them to his games. He did not like the idea of sharing the girl with black men. The girl friend recorded this conversation and released it to the media, and things have not been the same for Donald Sterling since then. In fact, his world seems to have crashed. First, the NBA commissioner has banned him for life; he will not attend or participate in any NBA game again for life. Second, he has been asked to sell his stake in the team, and get out. Third, Shelley, his wife of 58 years has % * 5 * ald Sterling said he made those remarks in the heat of passion trying to have sex with the girl. Fourth, Donald has lost most of the esteem and respect of other NBA owners, his team players and most ordinary Americans. Indeed, he has become the butt of jokes as he has said

Indeed, for every new recording or television interview, Donald Sterling has 5 ‘ ˆ # on Magic Johnson for example has incensed many Americans- black, white and brown who see Magic Johnson as a national icon. Watching Donald Sterling face humiliation and observing the pains he seemed to be going through, I began to wonder what would make such a very accomplished man fall suddenly from grace to grass. First, would this have happened elsewhere in the world other than the USA? Certainly not in most countries of Africa, Nigeria inclusive. Even in South Africa, where racial issues may be as ‘hot’ as in the USA, I doubt if this would happen. Second, I began to wonder if there was

My understanding is that it is the act of discrimination based on skin colon - white, black, brown or yellow. When one is discriminated against because of # * % ism, and the one who discriminated against him is said to be a racist. The racist may have superior or inferior feelings, but usually superior complex, and may feel that people of other colour have inferior attributes like intelligence quotient (IQ), skills or capabilities based essentially on their skin colour. Racial prejudices many times are stereotyped, and can be used to limit opportunities for other races. The United States of America has a very long history of racial discrimination. For a * #5

So many blacks still feel discriminated against because of their colour and many of them have responded by discriminating against the white, which is racism too. But the society seems to stand squarely against racism in the public space. X 6 discrimination called Apartheid; the same segregation of blacks from the white; a show of white supremacy and dominance. Here, the white controlled politics and governance, and ruled the economy.

Racism, ethnicity & tribalism...What’s the difference? and economic pursuits which no blackman could attempt until the revolution that was led by Nelson Mandela. There is some slight variance between the US racist regime and SA’s 5 Q % in the US before the black came, essentially through slave trading; and were in majority, the whites in SA came later than the blacks who were the original settlers in the place, and who remained in majority. This genealogical * 5 My understanding of tribalism and ethnicity is that of discriminating against people 5 Here, one is denied allocation of land because of his tribe or his child is denied admission into a school because of his ethnic background. Tribalists look after people from their tribes, and give them preferences in allocation of rights and privileges. When a tribalist is the head of an organisation, virtually everybody in that institution will be from his tribe or ethnic region. When there is an opportunity for career advancement, he thinks of his people 5 * ‹ ism, people fail to see anything wrong in what people from their tribes are doing, but will readily criticise people from other tribes for doing the same things. Some will only vote for people from their tribes or ethnic regions each time there is a contest. Now if you ask me whether there is any difference between racism, ethnicity or tribalism, I will say that there is not much. It is like say

‹ half a dozen. For me, they are all reprehensible acts that cause unnecessary divisions and disruptions of society’s cohesiveness. But why do they still exist, even in societies where they have been outlawed? Though to the best of my knowledge, there is no law banning tribal-

ism in Nigeria, for example, yet it is a negative emotion and orientation which only very few people will identify with publicly. To my mind, racism, ethnicity and tribal 5 6 reason is that they arise from the same root. Œ * 4 5 Œ * % # 5 " we are all created in the image of God. When you go below the skin, we are the same. Irrespective of our skin colours, we all have red blood cells. Our skeletal system is the same just as our parts are the same, and perform the 5 Q % % of feel, touch, see, hear and taste, though a few have the ‘sixth sense’. Then why do we still harbour these negative social traits of racism and tribalism? Anthropologists and sociologists can explain it in terms of human experience and historical adaptations over the ages. Yes, like aggregates with like and like protects # 5 resources available to a group of people within a geographical location at a given time, there is bound to be competition and struggle to appropriate the most for oneself, and his kith and kin. Such competitions will always lead to

to determine scale of distribution, allocation or sharing. Nigeria’ revenue sharing formula between the Federal, state and local governments on one hand and that between states on the other hand illustrates the point that it is in the nature of man and human institutions Š [ allocation. ‘We got here before you,’ ‘we have made more investments than you,’ ‘we cleared the obstacles’ or ‘fought the enemies before [ ˆ

’ / /! . “ " “ ! ”

But there must be a difference between ‘natural’ struggle for advantage and the offensive social traits of racism and tribalism. These take their roots from the debased nature of the fallen man whose god is his belly. Racism, ethnicity and tribalism spring from the root of hatred man and his institutions to seek advantage over other peoples or groups that share common space. The battle for the derivation principle in Nigeria further illustrates the point; the Niger Delta people feel that they are the ones contributing more to national income or that they are the ones who bear the greatest brunt of the devastation or environmental degradation caused by oil exploration. So they are entitled to get more of the income than other regions. "

Š [ % sive social traits of racism and tribalism. These take their roots from the debased nature of the fallen man whose god is his belly. Racism, ethnicity and tribalism spring from the root of hatred. They are antithesis of Gods injunction to man to love his neighbour as himself. Love is the glue that can hold humanity together and remove the negative social traits that manifest as racism or tribalism. When you truly love your neighbour, you become ‘blind’ to his colour, race, ethnicity or tribe. You just see him as a fellow creature of the Almighty God who has made the world beautiful with * 5

* * just same, with similar emotions, and craving for a successful life. But is this kind of universal love possible? Yes indeed. What motivated the missionaries to leave the comfort of their homes to come to Africa, many dying from Malaria? What motivated James Wilberforce, David Livingstone, Mary Slessor and those men and women who fought against slave trade and the killing of twins at personal cost and peril? Men and woman who worked hard to pass the legislations that brought slave trade, racial discrimination in the USA, and apartheid in South Africa to an end. We need such men and women in Africa to bring tribalism and ethnic bias to an end. And we fully recommend this to the likes of Donald Sterling - the Spirit of love which only comes from living a life surrendered to the Lord. If he had had this, his world would not have come crashing on his head in a twinkle of an eye because he would have abhorred the sin of adultery that elicited the racial bitterness which led to his fall. And the truth is that all men, who live „ * * matter their wealth or political power, sooner or later.
