The PDP also urged Nigerians to ensure that their thoughts and actions are always guided by the national interest and values that unite and bind all citizens in love. The party in a statement in by Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh said: “It is incontrovertible that Nigeria remains stronger and more prosperous as one nation. We call on all citizens to put the unity of the nation above every other personal and sectional interests in all their dealings and aspirations.� The party highlighted the resolve of Nigerians to live in a united and peaceful nation just like the people of Scotland have chosen to preserve their more than 300 years union by voting to stay in Britain irrespective of challenges of ethnic diversity. “The decision by the Scots

Uncertainty over Boko Haram leader, Shekau Insurgents raid local Borno market, kill, loot

]

nce again, there were speculations yesterday that the ruthless kingpin of the Boko Haram terror gang, Abubakar Shekau, might be one of the casualties in the military raid of Konduga, Borno State, which also resulted in the killing of about 60 insurgents. Late last year, the military authorities had said that Shekau was killed in an operation in June, after he was believed to have been fatally wounded.

He later resurfaced in a video footage, which his gang posted on the internet. "

"% reports had it that security agencies are currently reviewing information that Shekau may have been killed in the battle with the military near Konduga. In the Konduga battle, no fewer than 60 Boko Haram militants, according to the military, were killed while one its leaders was reportedly captured

alive. The captive, whose name was not made public, is however reported to be receiving treatment in an undisclosed military facility. Meanwhile, there were agency reports yesterday that dozens of people had been killed by Boko Haram militants at a local market in Mainok area of Borno State. The attackers reportedly raided the market - about 56 km from Maiduguri - while buying and selling were at the

peak, according to an eyewitness, Alhaji Bello Adamu. He said at least 21 people were killed in the attack which lasted about one hour. The attackers also reportedly carted away money and wares as they ransacked stores in the local market. Military authorities were yet to react to the story as at the $ % & source claimed that a detachment of troops had been deployed to the area.

Ebola: NBA cautions against Sept 22 schools resumption Continued from Page 1 to tarry a while,� Alegeh advised. “I think that schools can resume, but under what conditions would they resume?� the NBA president queried, adding that “we cannot take the risk; measures should be put in place by government at all levels up to 100 or at least 99 per cent. Every precaution should be taken before schools are reopened.� “I think that is what we should do; if we are aware of that all the precautionary measures have been put in schools, I believe the issue of schools resuming on September 22 would not cause any fear. I do not think that teachers or parents like me would be worried if steps are taken by government to prevent the spread of the disease,� the NBA president said. Meanwhile, inaugurating the committee, Alegeh noted with dismay that the boards, commissions and parastatals in which NBA is, or ought to be rep-

resented, remain shrouded in secrecy by a few who have turned NBA positions into their personal estates to the detriment of the entire association. “I have decided to set up an ad-hoc committee to look into the matter and present a report on or & ] & % 2014,� he added. The committee is charged to investigate, identify and determine all boards, commissions, agencies and parastatals in which NBA is entitled to representation; to identify any person(s) who are, or have represented NBA on any such body and the period of such representation; and to explore other avenues and opportunities that will facilitate the representation of the NBA in various government boards and agencies.

According to residents of the area, the church authorities hired the labourers to carry out a minor demolition, to make room for expansion of the existing structure. Saturday Newswatch learnt that nine labourers were hired to break some pillars, a job they were reportedly executing when the building fell, burying three of them alive. As at last night, however, Saturday Newswatch could not establish the hospital where the injured were taken for treatment. A survivor spoke to some newsmen, saying: “The owner of Christ Chosen Church of God’s Deliverance Centre contracted us to demolish a part of the building because they wanted more space in the compound. But some of us went

out to eat because we were hungry. “As we were eating, we saw people rushing to the building and shouting. We thought it & we got there, we discovered that the building had collapsed. “We were nine in number, but four of my colleagues were in the building when it collapsed. Two were brought out ^

resident Goodluck Jonathan has expressed gratitude to a youth corps member, Ezemagu Sunday Nnamdi, who donated N10,000 in support of his re-election campaign in 2015. Further, he said he would continue to count on the support, goodwill and prayers of patriotic Nigerians as he strives to give the best possible leadership for the transformation of the country. In a letter to the young Nigerian who sent a donation of N10,000 as his humble contribution to the President’s re-election, Jonathan said he was deeply touched and encouraged by the immense support his administration continues to receive from young Nigerians, from all parts of the country. Said he: “Your gracious gesture is particularly gratifying, coming as it does from one of our nation’s vibrant and gifted youth who are our successor generation and for whom our administration is unequivocally committed to providing the requisite environment to optimally realise their tremendous creative and productive potentials. “As I carry on with the task of positively transforming our country for its God-ordained greatness and prosperity, I will continue to count on the goodwill as well as the practical and

prayerful support of committed patriots like you.� Thanking the youth corps member for the donation which was sent before the Peoples Democratic Party adopted the President yesterday as its sole candidate for the 2015 presidential elections, Jonathan also welcomed his expression of faith in the Federal Government’s ongo $ for sustained growth and development. The President assured Sunday and other young Nigerians that he would continue to do his best in the service of the nation in keeping with their trust and expectations. In the letter forwarding his donation, Sunday assured President Jonathan of the continued support of patriotic Nigerians and urged him to seek re-election in 2015. “Nigerians are behind you. We see your good works in power, transportation, education, housing, ICT, sports, electoral reforms, observation of the principle of federal character and the creation of investment opportunities. “The insurgents who are trying to destabilise your administration are enemies of peace and progress. You will surely defeat them,� the youth corps member wrote.

lthough child marriage is against the law in many countries including Nigeria as international treaties forbid the practice, it is estimated that about 51 million girls are forced into early marriages yearly worldwide. Quite often, in most African countries, parents of child brides are driven by factors such as pressure to conform to age old traditions like preservation of chastity and economic considerations to give out their young daughters in marriage. It is not uncommon also in poor developing countries, for > Z ! ! their underage girls as payments. In Nigeria, the marriageable age varies from one region to the other. For instance, in the North West and North East regions, 14 years is considered as the average age for marriage could be contracted between 2nd and 3rd menstruation, whereas in the Southern part it varies from between 16 to 18 years. Child marriage invariably leads to early sexual contact and subsequently pregnancy at a time when the young girl is not adequately physically developed to permit the passage of a baby with relative ease. & !

Disease to Nigeria late July has thrown up new challenges to the government and people of Nigeria who are already grappling with various social, political, economic and security problems. The virus which has killed many people in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia is now a big threat to Nigeria, the most populous black country in the world.

Grand plot against Bini in Edo politics By HRH, Prince Edun Akenzua MFR

Continued from last week We went down memory lane, to properly situate the imbroglio seen by some people as a ploy to create confusion in the state and give the President a reason for declaring a state of emergency in Edo State. PDP leadership was desperate to “capture� Edo State and install a governor from Edo Central; that being so, it would not risk a declaration of a state of emergency on the state. Imposing emergency on a state whose government is doing well, and whose governor is loved by the state’s traditional institutions, market women and the people, would lead to what no one could conjecture. The stakes were too high. I do not think that those who are hell-bent on installing a governor from Edo Central will want to throw the baby away with the bath water. The imbroglio was directed against the Edo (Bini). It was a well laid plot to make Bini irrelevant in the scheme of things. It is not by acacident that there is no Bini person in President Jonathan’s cabinet. Powerful enemies made sure of that. Yet, they are in the majority in the state. When PDP was establishing its structure in Edo State, six Bini persons were encouraged to vie for the position of the party’s chairman. The aspirants campaigned viciously against one another thus fragmenting the Benin vote bloc. Those who did not want a Benin person in that position ensured that only one aspirant came from Edo North. It was no surprise that Bini lost out. The divide-them syndrome continued. During the gubernatorial election E ‚E" <R< *> veteran aspirants, including a former governor from Edo Central, in favour

The amiable General was advised by well meaning persons to keep his clean slate for 2016, but he was overwhelmed by leaders who assured him that with their backing, he would win. Some thought the PDP leaders were simply being fool-hardy, but they knew what they were doing. They were looking ahead to 2016. They wanted to be in a position to say to Bini people when they bring on a candidate from a minority area for the

The state’s chairman of PDP, Chief Dan Orbih, is frequently on television telling viewers that Oshiomole wastes ! & | in helicopters; that he changes air \ Œ that he is frequently out of the state; that all he does when he is home is inspect projects.

I commend Oshiomole for his indefatigability and for personally inspecting projects.

Stimulating economic growth through shipping Shipping is a strong catalyst for socio-economic development of any nation. However, the Nigerian situation is different as many have not come to terms with its potentials and governments at various levels are still at a loss in tapping into its prospects or tackling the challenges. ABIODUN AWOGBEMI writes.

S

hipping has been said to be a more global industry that connects merchandise than any other transport sector. This is because it interconnects global economy, allowing people of various countries, markets and businesses to engage in buying and selling. World trade is practically impossible without shipping, which has helped to its phenomenal growth in both participation and output. According to Dr. Ferdinand Agu, former Director-General of National Maritime Authority (NMA), in one of his papers, the shipping industry is a very critical cell adding and creating value to goods and products through cross border trading, and by so doing enhancing socioeconomic stability which in turn secures political stability.

Agu said that as population grows, an inevitable increase in demand for certain goods and services follows. This, according to him, is still subject to the existence of other factors such as purchasing power, character of the * He said the role of shipping in stimulating commerce cannot however, be discountenanced as it remains a catalyst for stimulating economic prosperity.

" but merely underscores the volatility of the sector. According to him, the 1980s witnessed great shipping in Nigeria and the global market, leading to most owners to default in paying back their debt. Product storage, along with the capacity to move large shipments, has placed the shipping industry in a very advantageous position. Containerization, multi-modal trans-port services, advancement of marine engineering technology, specialised systems and computerisation have contributed to make sea transport a prime mode for movement of internationally traded goods. However, the development of shipping industry in a country also depends on its population density, economic advancement and many other interrelated conditions, like port and refueling capacities. Despite the prospect of boosting the economy, the challenges are myriad as the government is not exploring the opportunities that the sector portends. Some states that has waterways such as Ondo, Calabar, Warri and the entire South-south geo political zone of the country could have been deriving a great fortune in terms of revenue from the sector if annexed since the sector aside

from tonnage carriage is another means of transportation of human and goods from one state to another, especially to cities such as Lagos. Since it is safe, convenient and cheaper like the railway, it would have been the most patronised, but the sector and its services are not tapped by various state governments. Some of the problems militating against the private sector whose interest is in shipping include regionalisation of ports, especially large gateways, which are facing diverse local constraints that limit their # < ‹ refers to integration between maritime and inland transport systems, particularly by using rail and barge transportation, which are less prone to congestion than road transportation.

Menace of reckless bullion van drivers Whenever cash is moved around in bullion vans, there is the blaring of sirens and people are scared away from the roads by gun trotting anti riot policemen who play the role of escorts. The drivers on their own are nothing but terror on wheels. reports.

To curtail the excesses of drivers of bullion vehicles on the road the Police, a few years ago, banned bullion van drivers from blaring sirens on the road, and even threatened to arrest reckless bullion van drivers and their police escorts. Many years after the police warning, the situation has remained the same as Nigerians are still harassed by the activities of these agents, even as a lot of people have either been killed or maimed by their reckless conduct. Owing to emergencies securities and special services delivery, the law accords special road privileges to certain vehicles, such as the banks, " * * " & Cross societies’, the Police and other essential services vehicles. Thus, this includes the right to # there are infringements, and to allow them to pass before other vehicles on the road. It is sad to see how this privilege has been abused and turned to avenue for perpetrating crimes on the roads by drivers of this privileged motorcade.

According to him, the failure of the

Police to arrest and prosecute reckless bullion van drivers has made them throw caution to the winds any time they are on the road, adding that the bank authorities cannot deny being aware of the risk their drivers pose to other road users. He contended that there are bullion vans the world over, but the way it is " stressing that in other climes, bullion van drivers drive responsibly, which make other road users not to notice their presence in their midst. Chukwurah lamented the excesses of the bullion drivers on the roads which have brought sorrow, tears and grief to many homes. He added that the Police have not shown enough desire to bring such erring > accomplice to book, to serve as deterrent to others. In his words, ‘When there is serious mishaps one is not hopeful if this set of drivers are really made to face the laws as would other motorists. This perhaps dares them to drive in such a cruel and irresponsible manner. The lack of will by the Police to properly prosecute such drivers has encouraged them to drive dangerously on our roads.� He contended that several road accidents in which individuals have lost lives or severely injured had been linked to the nonchalance of these special vehicle drivers, adding that the government has a duty to compel the Police to curb the activities of the reckless drivers on the roads. A respondent, Mr. Akeem Oluwo, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch berated the government and the Police for the menace of bullion van drivers on the roads, saying that the failure of the authorities to call them to order has made the problem to persist for ages. He also blamed the banks for their inability to caution their drivers, banking sector who drive on these roads cannot claim not to see the reckless manner their drivers operate. He suggested that to curb the reckless driving manner of bullion drivers, the government has to formulate a law to sanction any bank whose bullion van cause accident on the road, adding that such law would wake the banks managements from their slumber. In his words, “To curb this recklessness, the government has to introduce a new law that will sanction any bank whose bullion van cause an

It is a fact that due to the problem of armed robbers on our roads, bullion van drivers enjoy some privileges. These privileges have been variously abused, as the drivers are seen in cities driving recklessly innocent Nigerians and foreigners alike have been knocked down by the bullion van drivers; the lucky ones are maimed while the unlucky ones are sent to early graves accident on the roads. “Such law will wake the management of the banks from their slumber, as they will be alive to their responsibilities and sack reckless drivers in their fold. The fear that the law will bring management of any bank whose bullion van cause accident will make the bullion van drivers to drive responsibly. Oluwo also suggested that any bullion van driver whose vehicle cause accident that led to death should stand trial, and if found guilty of recklessness should be imprisoned for a long time. He added that such laws will make the bank authorities and the drivers of their bullion vans to be responsive to Nigerians, stressing that the failure of authorities to sanction them over the years has made the problem to persist. € # > " › ˆ Z < * : # # recently, saying that his bank do call ! > | a regular basis. The source said that the reckless driving of most bullion van drivers in the country, arise because of the fear by bullion van drivers that they might ! Z ! !! " > slowly on the roads. He said that most banks call their

bullion van drivers to order, but lament overzealousness of the drivers in their custody. In his words, “My bank on a regular basis, trains bullion van drivers in our bank. The drivers are told times without numbers of the need to drive responsibly. It is not true that local banks encourage their bullion van > | ! rules. It will be unfair to blame the banks managements for the driving problem of bullion drivers.� The banker said the banks are not happy with the way some of its bullion van drivers conduct themselves on the roads, adding that many of such drivers have been shown the door in the past. Some Nigerians who spoke to Saturday Newswatch condemned the banks owners for not showing concern to the plight of the people who were maimed from the bullion van crash and the family of those people who have lost their precious lives to bullion van induced crash. They say the mere sack of erring bullion van drivers is not enough, as the people who sustained injuries should be catered for by the bank the driver worked for, adding that in the case of death, the bank that cause the accident should be made to pay meaningful compensation to the family of the victim. They appealed to the banks to ensure that those who they hire to drive their vans are people of sound minds, who have regard for human lives, adding that the local banks must have a monitoring group to monitor how their bullion van drivers operate on the roads. They also called on the apex bank and the government to impress it upon the banks to regulate the way the bullion van drivers conduct themselves on the roads, as the road is not meant for them alone. One respondent said, “The cash the bullion van is carrying is not more precious than the lives they put at great risk every time they are on the road. The banks should not see the cash in their vans as being more important than many innocent lives they have sent to early graves. It is a fact that local banks and many other corporate organisations treat Nigerians and foreigners in Nigeria shabbily, contrary to the way corporate institutions operate in the saner climes.

Endangered middle class & rise of e-commerce Questions have been asked in recent times whether the middle class actually exists in Nigeria. Indeed many are of the opinion that the equation is between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’ only. ABIODUN AWOGBEMI x-rays the middle class in Nigeria and their contributions to the economy in this era of e-commerce and technological knowhow.

T

here has been a raging controversy on the level of per capital income of the average Nigerian worker, which ultimately, is the yardstick used to categorise their placement in the society. This categorization falls under into the low income earners, middle class and upper class. The African Development Bank (AfDB)

! * # daily consumption is between US$2 and US$20 daily to categorise the middle class in & * ! > cost of living of about 1 billion people on the continent. Any population that spends between US$2 to US$4 a day is considered a Â?|

"‡ # ! Z to the poverty line while others earning between US$4 and US$20 a day are categorised � ! ‡

The recent statistics from the African Development Bank put the middle class in Nigeria at 23 percent. This new middle class is well educated, with 92 percent completing post-secondary school education. Experts has said in consideration to the _ ˆ Z‡ ! ! > US$1.25 per day, the minimum average of S

* ! Rˆ low. Moreover, in the Nigerian context, the daily expenditure on all the essential needs including accommodation, food, transportation, health and education is over US$12 per day, which invariably means that those categorised as middle class have to spend more than that. Also, the middle class consumes between US$12 and US$20 a day, i.e., their disposable income boils down to US$360 and US$600 a month, which translates to N57, 600 and N96,000 a year. According to Professor Adekola Adewumi of the University of Lagos, Nigeria lacks basic infrastructure upon which middle class could be assessed because most the assumed middle class are civil servants, media men, bank # # Z Z ces, accounting for less than 20 percent of the entire work force, and most of their expenditure are direct proceeds of corruption; money received through bribery; embezzlement of government money and imposition of illegal levies and penalties, which are diverted into private or personal usage.

They always urge us not to relent so that the race can take its rightful position in Nigeria. !! " The meaning of government (Ijoba) is the gathering of traditional rulers (awujo awon oba). In those days, we had roles to play in government. It was due to this that a king from the Western region, the late Oba Adesoji Aderemi, became the governor of the region while the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was the premier of the Western region. The crisis in the Yoruba race started when the Oba’s role was removed from the government, and up till today we ! # & " : was divided into three regions Western, Eastern and Northern. When the Western region crisis started, the Mid-Western region was created from it. Some Yoruba traditional rulers were then used against the general interest of the Yoruba people. By so doing, the politicians decided to separate the Obas from the government. That was the genesis of our problems. Since monarchs were removed from participating in governance, government has been having problems. Today, if the politicians want to conduct election, they always come to us, asking us to mobilise our subjects for them. In Ghana today, they always involve their monarchs in government and all is well with them. So, we, in Nigeria must emulate them. The Obas in government will always advise them on issues and policies. Even in Great Britain today, after series of deliberation in both the parliament and executive, they bring everything to Queen Elizabeth who will give them her nod. So monarchs are very important at the local, state and federal government levels. If politicians refuse to put us in our rightful position, God will still let things work for us in this country. # $ % " " I believe that it is too early to assess Continued on Page 57

Politics

Enugu: Nwoye and his many tough talks Kenneth Ofoma, Enugu

T

he chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, could be described as a fearless man with good educational background, having being trained in America as a lawyer and teacher of the law before opting for aviation business and contracting, and now politics. Before his emergence as the APC chairman in April this year, Nwoye had contested the Enugu East senatorial ticket in the 2011 election under the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) which later merged with other parties to form the APC. Since his involvement in politics, he has been known to be a vitriolic critic of the Governor Sullivan Chime’s administration and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)-led Federal Government. With his American accent and erudition, he turned a nightmare to political opponents at any point in time - whether on radio, television or in the print media. On several occasions, he had taken a swipe at the senator representing the Enugu East district, Nnaji. Also, he had taken on Governor Chime’s many policies and actions, especially during his elongated medical holiday in 2013. As the APC chairman, Nwoye > ! * recent impeachment of the Enugu former Deputy Governor, Sunday „ ! " Z him against the governor with the PDP chairman in Enugu, Engr. Vita Abba, not being spared either as he has often challenged him to a debate. For instance, Nwoye in reaction to the impeachment proceedings against the former deputy governor, carpeted Governor Chime and members of the state House of Assembly for embarking on the $ | $

" Chime, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo, to become the senator representing Enugu East as the cause of Onyebuchi’s travails. He also accused Governor Chime of instigating ethnic war since „ ! ‡ # the same senatorial ticket as Mrs. Nwobodo. Said he: “You know there is a saying that if you want to kill a dog you call it a bad name. The pretence is not any other; it is ^ :# ! 8 ; wants to be the senator for Nkanu people at all cost. And so the truth

rid of anything on her way. Enugu people are very culturally and ethnic conscious. She is an Udi woman (from Enugu West senatorial district), an Agbaja woman married to the Nkanu ethnic class. The person she is trying to unseat is a prince of Nkanu land.� Nwoye described those allegedly scheming for Onyebuchi’s job as the “vultures in the waiting, and that they are without conscience because even among vultures, there are still corpses that some of them will not partake in. So, the political vultures without conscience are

If you must defect,resign your elected position – Enogieru tells politicians Hon. Raymond Enogieru is an agriculturist and a one-time senior legislative aid in the National Assembly. A social crusader and commentator, Enogieru’s goals include running for the Oredo West constituency in Edo State. He spoke to THANKGOD OFOELUE about how he can contribute to making laws for Edo people while also discussing some national issues. Excerpts:

A Nwoye (APC Chair)

Abba (PDP Chair) now hovering around and they are waiting for the executioner to pull the noose.� He described the allegation that the former deputy governor was running a poultry farm as a smokescreen. His words: “The poultry was there before the governor abandoned his duty post for almost a year on medical vacation and lied about it. Enugu people, for months, were in the dark as to where their governor was; that was an impeachable “People were calling for the removal of the governor since it became obvious that they (state cabinet) were lying. He overstayed his vacation time under the constitution; that again # ! Q " Onyebuchi, remained a gentle and humble individual, which in this case, if you look at it objectively, # > ! S > to his legal obligation of at least, alerting the state Assembly that the governor was telling lies.� On the encouragement given President Goodluck Jonathan by the Igbo, Nwoye saw it as deceitful especially the impression that the President is an Igbo man

And so the truth remains that she is stopping at no rid of anything on her way

Gov. Chime (PDP)

Efeoma (SSG) and that Igbo should not vie for the presidency in 2015. He took a swipe at some Igbo leaders in the PDP whom he alleged had told the President not to waste his time visiting the South East for campaign in 2015 as he is already approved by the people, explaining that such a posturing would leave the Igbo high and dry without anything to bargain for and hold on to. He explained: “President Jonathan Ebele Godluck is not an Igbo man; he will never be an Igbo man; but I guarantee you that Owelle Rochas Okorocha is an Igbo man. His intention is very clear; he will be seeking to take over the leadership of this country. I guarantee you that I have just been to Abuja and there have been at least four eminent Nigerians who in a very short time will indicate their interest to lead the nation. “They must tell us what belongs to Ndigbo; our own share of it. The ! #

<R< is that the PDP has told President Jonathan not to come down to the entire South East; that he is already the President.� The APC chairman has never wavered in his avowed commitment to upstage the PDP in Enugu State. On his emergence as the APC chairman, he told his party members that “he’s glad to stand here and look at each one of you ' > * for change. I simply ask for your support. The time for that change is now and the starting point for change is Enugu State, so that by 2015, you will join me, one by one, boys and girls, men and women to match down to the Lion Building and transform the repressive regime into a progressive regime.� In his acceptance speech on behalf of the new executive Continued on Page 58

s a farmer, what kind of input do you intend to make in the lives of Edo people when elected as a legislator? I believe in a society where the right of every individual should be respected. This, I will promote through legislation. In the area of unemployment, I will tackle joblessness by making government realise its responsibility to provide employment for the citizenry in accordance with the 1999 constitution. I am a farmer by profession; I read Agriculture in the university and I am practising it. We are going to train our " * " and cultivation of lands. But in my constituency we don’t have enough lands for these purposes. So, we are going to invest more in animal production. I am going to use my constituency funds to train and retrain youths and women. I will also introduce them to our * ! Z # they can access funds and exploit > ! * to assist in the production of farm produce. We will also use sports to catch all our youths young in primary and secondary schools and encourage them in job creation. When President Barrack Obama visited Egypt last, he said education is the basis of living, and that the strength and wealth of any nation is no longer dependent on the amount of natural resources but on the amount of techniques and education given to the children of such a nation. A man that is educated is already above poverty by virtue of his training and education. So, I will provide scholarship and awards of excellence in my constituency. What inspired you into politics? I am not new in politics. I was a candidate of the All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) in the 2002/2003 general elections. I was also the last People Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for House

Hon. Ray-

of Assembly in Oredo West. I contested with the present speaker in his second tenure, Hon Uyi Igbe. I have been in the legislature and the records are there. What is your view about the problem in the state House of Assembly? The problem in Edo State House of Assembly shows that they don’t really have our interest at heart. They have lost focus of the mandate given to them by Edo people. Also, the security agents are bias and no one seems to be willing to obey court orders. I will use this opportunity to talk to Mr. President because he selected them democratically and he has to respect court orders. How can some members that were suspended by the House burst into the hallowed chambers as early as 6 am and the security agents watched them without taking any action. What kind of country are we in? Even though the procedure in suspending them was wrong, they have the legal right to take " the police failing to implement the court order on them. I see the situation as inimical to the law of the land. We have a single House of Assembly and they remain suspended as long as the court has not said otherwise and the House is still under the Speaker (Uyigue Igbe). What do you have to say about the issue of decampment in the Assembly? Politics is voluntary; people may have a particular interest at a particular time in taking a decision. Maybe, they are not

* # # going in a party and they decide to decamp. What I always tell people is that you don’t have to decamp when they are holding the mandate of a particular party - like those in the House of Assembly that joined a particular party but decided to abandon that party for another party without consulting their constituencies. I think there should be a law to go against such because they were not voted in by an individual but as members of a party. You never win an election as an individual but under a political party. Just like the case of Governor Rotimi Amaechi where he never waited for an election but " that it was the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that gave him the ticket to run for the election and won. So, I always tell people that if you want to take that kind of " * position given to you by the party or call the electorate and consult them properly before taking the decision as an individual.

No room for points dropping – Ikhana F

According to Ikhana, who is on his second missionary journey at the Aba Millionaires, having led them to win the then elusive CAF Champions League in 2003, at this stage of the competition, every point counts and as a result, Enyimba will do everything within their powers to ensure that they

maximised every available opportunity to sure-up their points and improve on their league standing. Ikhana stated Enyimba’s position as it regards the remaining league season. He stated Enyimba’s position when he spoke to the club’s web-site last week as they prepare for the resumption of the second stanza of the 2013/14 Nigeria Professional Football League which was suspended as a result of the leadership crisis that engulfed the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). Unfortunately, the Aba millionaires failed to escape defeat in the hands of their

arch rivals and neighbours, Akwa United Football Club of Uyo in their Week 26 *$ # # on Wednesday, where the Aba millionaires lost by a lone goal. In the words of Ikhana: “Our approach right now is to take it one game at a time,� he began. “We haven’t played a competitive game in a while now. So, we have to approach our remaining games with caution and try to get the maximum points. “Like I said before, we do not want to drop points at this point in the season and will work hard to make sure we get good results at home and away,� Ikhana said.

There are allegations that they have not done well with disbursing funds kept in their care for the running of the game. ‘However, I feel this is the time for all in the General Assembly to prove many that still held their integrity and track records wrong. The fact remains that the frontline candidates are still the old faces that have pulled this game down in the past. Many Nigerians still held their trust in their ability to lift this game with pinch of salt. “Already, many people have started to drum support for them, and sadly, we will come up with old wine in new ! # ! the vicious circle we have always found ourselves in.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell which men are serious about moving on and which are just looking for someone to lessen the ache in their hearts. Both types of widowers will treat you like a queen, tell you how much they love you, and do other things that make you feel like the centre of their universe.

Tying of teeth to lose weight

Anna, 40, comfortable from Jos, HIV needs a serious-minded friend. Call: 07018323845

M

y sister-in-law recently told me about tying my teeth to lose weight. I presently weigh 80kg and intend to lose 20 before the end of the year. Will it work? Mimi, Abuja Mimi, I guess so. A dentist would usually tie your teeth with a wire so that you wouldn’t be able to open your mouth and eat proper food except liquids. It is called jaw wiring. It is not a surgical procedure, but it faintly resembles certain types of oral 34567589:<9=>@=9:=9@:B39=C9DE9=>79 position of the teeth and jaws but via a bonding method, rather than invasive surgery. To begin with, the teeth are cleaned. Then brackets are bonded onto the upper and lower teeth, usually three teeth on the upper right and three teeth on the upper left and the same for the lower jaw. After this, thin wire is used to connect the brackets and keep the upper and lower jaws in position. The upper and lower teeth do not touch; they are wired to allow a gap between them. The wires are removed every four to six weeks, @<F9=8G:H@JJ89BC3=9G@=:7<=39D<:3>9 treatment within six months. Patients who undergo jaw wiring cannot eat solid foods. Therefore, they require a liquid diet. The diet should provide adequate nutrition - including, macronutrients like carbs, protein and fat as well as micronutrients like vitamins and minerals - and @934LH:7<=9H@JC5:79:<=@N7O The wires need to be removed every four to six weeks, for three to six days in order to exercise the Q@R39@<F9G57S7<=93=:U7<:<69CV9=>79 joint. Speaking, eating solid food and chewing gum are all helpful exercises. Patients are usually recommended to carry a wire H4X759R:=>9=>7B9:<9H@379CV9@<89 emergency, like a need to vomit. Oral hygiene is maintained by mouth wash, antiseptic wipes and (as regards the front of the teeth) by normal brushing. But you RC4JF9>@S79=C9G@893=5:H=9@X7<=:C<9 to your dentist. Good luck!

Have I lost my virginity?

I

am 20 years old. My boyfriend is 22 and we have decided not to have sex now, because I wanted to wait more before I lose my virginity. We do make-out but without having real sex if you understand. Some days ago, we were in the middle of something and we lost control and I felt that he did something we were not supposed to do. I pushed him away fast and found small amount of blood. I know one sign a girl has lost her virginity is when her hymen breaks and she bleeds. I’m really confused and I don’t even know where the blood was from. How can I know for sure? How far in is the hymen? Claire, Benin. Claire, The hymen is about half an inch or an inch from outside of the vagina. If it is there at all, it is visible if you look in the mirror. Loss of virginity is not about tearing

the hymen as such. Some girls are born without hymens – does that mean they are born not virgins? Hymens can get torn by bike riding, horse riding, physical exercise like gymnastics or athletics, selfexploration and even masturbation. It is possible that in the course of your ‘making out’, your hymen tore. Yes, tearing the hymen can happen that quickly (think of it like tearing a bit of tissue paper). It’s only a wafer thin piece of skin. Physically, loss of virginity is more F7D<7F9|89@H=4@J9:<=75HC4537O9 4=9R79 both know that virginity is also a state of the mind. When we talk about someone being a virgin, we mean someone who is relatively innocent and pure. While I don’t mean to judge, all these acts you and your boyfriend engage in are pointers that you might be a ‘physical’ virgin but F7D<:=7J89<C=9@9S:56:<9:<9=>79=547937<379 of the word. Worse still, if he didn’t use protection, and he was so close to your naked vagina, there is a slight risk of pregnancy!

My husband wants me to change church

M

! ' > a particular church for four years now and we are both very active there. Recently, my husband decided to move to another parish and he is insisting I join him there. I don’t like the new parish because I’m used to our former place and my commitments there. It is beginning to cause problems

in my home but I believe I should follow my heart and do the work of God. What do you advise? Omobola, Gbagada Omobola, Following your heart and doing the work CV9 CF9@579=RC9F:U757<=9=>:<63O9 C49H@<9 still do God’s work while you are in another

parish. After all, it is the same church. In situations like this, you have to focus on what really counts. What is important for your family and your home? I believe that a family that prays together stays happily together. So, please, no need to argue. Just join your husband and family in the new parish and open your mind to a new atmosphere of worship.

Among the dead was a pregnant # * ˆ Z her husband as well as an 18-monthold boy who was asleep when the incident happened. However, a one-and-a-half-yearold baby, whose mother died in the incident while his father was rescued with injuries survived the collapse. The building situated at 29b, Oloto Street, Oyingbo area of Ebute ^ " ` " 2 am after it had shown signs of possible collapse any moment. Many of the residents were trapped in the building until around 6am in the morning, when heavy duty equipment from the state government arrived at the scene. “We were waiting to eat our early morning fasting food (sahur). My friend and I decided to play cards to while away time when we heard a rumbling sound and later a sudden

loud bang. The area was covered with dust from the collapsed building,� said Adeniran Isiaka, a resident of the area. In July 21, 2013 four persons, including a 15-year-old hawker * Z " lives after a two-storey building under construction, collapsed in Surulere, Lagos State. The building collapsed around 10am during an early morning rain. According to Lagos State government’s statistics, nine buildings, both completed and under construction, collapsed in 2013, while over 27 people died in the incidents and over 52 others injured. Another incident was the collapse of a building in Jakande Estate, Isolo, Lagos, in November, 2012 which claimed three lives out of the six occupants in the building. One person died in another collapsed building in Okegbo area of Ikorodu, Lagos State. Altogether, over 110 lives have been lost between 2013 and 2014. The incessant cases of collapsed buildings became a source of concern to the state government and as a result, stringent measures were put in place to forestall recurrence. However, the ugly situation still keeps happening across the state and the nation at large. „

The tribunal was mandated to monitor buildings residents have lodged complaints concerning their defective posture.

In his speech at the inauguration of the tribunal headed by Arch. Abimbola Ajayi and made up of professionals in the area of building

construction, the governor said: “I get text messages repeatedly about buildings that constitute danger to the life of residents where they „ pressure by me to act. We will hold # # ! for the violation that occur in districts and regional areas where buildings collapse, and sanctions will be meted out accordingly to

It is time to stop this incident of building collapse. It is a sign of backwardness for us as a nation. It is a challenge to our professionals. If professionals in the world build skyscrapers and they don’t collapse, how come we build threestorey buildings and they collapse

When a building doesn’t collapse because of these reasons, it shows that somewhere along the line one = The governor said investigations carried out by the government revealed that owners of such buildings are always responsible for the collapse as many of them are after making money rather than building structures that could stand the test of time. “Often times, owners and builders apply for building permits for a storey building but end up constructing a four-storey building and we have professionals involved in the activities. If you build against the approval that we have given, we will pull down that building or we will compel the person to reduce the house to the approval he or she got from us. We will not spare anyone in this regard because when a building collapses, it is the government that everyone looks up to. “It is time to stop this incident of building collapse. It is a sign of backwardness for us as a nation. It is a challenge to our professionals. If professionals in the world build skyscrapers and they don’t collapse, how come we build three-storey buildings and they collapse,� he asked. As at December, 2013, the state government revealed that no fewer ‘E@ ! of the state were sealed while it also halted the construction of more than 838 buildings as result of the danger they posed to prospective occupiers. The governor’s assessment that owners of collapsed buildings failed * standard is in most cases responsible for the increase in such incidents.

> * the report, and the general overseer ! Z" fact remains that the incident of collapsed buildings is yet to abate in the state. Other reasons have also been adduced for the collapse of buildings in the state. One of such is the quality of building material used in building constructions, while developers have also been criticised for trying to cut corners by not abiding with building plans, thereby jeopardising the lives of occupiers. According to a former Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development in Lagos State, Francisco Abosede, as at 2011, not less than 396 buildings in the state were structurally defective, having failed structural integrity " Z �: * ‡ habitation. Corroborating her view, Mrs. Abimbola Animashaun, general manager of the Lagos State Building and Control Agency (LASBCA) said many developers do not follow due process in construction or make use * ! She said several structures, which have been marked for demolition and sealed by the state government were as a result of substandard products used in building them. She lamented that many developers do go back to such structures, complete them and rent them out to unsuspecting tenants. Citing a building that collapsed at 29b, Onasanya Street, Ishaga, Surulere, Lagos, as an example, she said: “We had sealed the structure before now and I must tell you that its construction started before this agency was created. During our road show, we sealed the building along with three others. It was sealed few weeks ago. They broke our seal but we have warned them. We also discovered that the construction was substandard and had no approval.� A building engineer, Mr. Michael Akpudje, who spoke with Saturday Newswatch, also stated that unless the state government and the Federal Government at large go beyond the taking over of the land where defective buildings are found, the state would continue to experience incidents of collapsed buildings. %& ! the state taking over the land. Somebody that made use of substandard materials to build a house knowing full well the consequences if the building collapses, should be charged with a murder case. It was an intentional act. We cannot continue to lose lives and properties. Many developers are only interested in making money rather than the safety of the occupants,� he said. He added: “There are many houses in Lagos that are disasters # Œ

of time before we start hearing of another case of collapsed building after the Synagogue incident. Such houses are many in highly populated areas in the state like Lagos Island and the rest. The most annoying part is that people live in such houses without considering what would happen to them if they collapse.�

2015: Intrigues, power play in Benue I

n February 2011, Prof. Steven Torkuma Ugba, stormed Benue State with his gubernatorial campaign slogan, ‘change.’ Ugba who came from the United States of America (USA) where he was a lecturer and consultant in marketing to contest on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), but lost to Governor Gabriel Suswam. Before the governorship election took place in April 2011, there was tension in the state because Senator George Akume who brought Ugba into the race had left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ACN where it was claimed that Suswam did not perform. There were clashes between the supporters of the two political parties in Logo Local Government Area of the state where both Ugba and Suswam hail from. In other parts of the state, violence was averted because Suswam chose to avoid it. In places where ACN supporters blocked the road, the governor diverted the course of his journey or delayed for several hours for law enforcement agents to clear the way. " K ! * the election petition tribunal; but several of his motions and applications were declared > R * and counter-motions at the tribunal and the Appeal Court, a lot of time was wasted. As the 180 days stipulated in the constitution was elapsing, Ugba took the case to the Supreme Court where there was an order for the retrial of the petition and the tribunal was reconstituted. At the reconstituted tribunal, the same ! * K ! ‡ # proving allegations of election irregularities *

# ‡ # * Supreme Court seeking for its declaration to > must be decided within the period of 180 days provided for in Section 185(6) of the constitution. At the time the Supreme Court made a declaration, so many other petitions were pending for determination. Hearing on all of them terminated due to the order. K ! # * Court continued to give his supporters hope ! * " # ' " was urging the Supreme Court to overrule itself. When the court delivered judgment on the motion earlier in the year, a cost of N1 million each was awarded against Ugba, the defunct ACN which has dissolved into the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the lawyers that represented them. 2015 Governorship Race As the 2015 elections draw nearer, Prof. Ugba has again indicated interest in joining the governorship race by placing his posters in strategic areas in the major towns of the state. As he prepares to formally declare his intention, his supporters are beginning to prepare for a repeat of the kind of campaign they embarked upon in 2011 without visiting the larger part of Benue South Senatorial District, occupied by the Idoma-speaking people. In 2011, Chief Paul Unongo, a former " # * # Suswam when the campaigns started, later joined Ugba’s campaign train, claiming the

Aliegba

Emmanuel

Ode professor was his nephew. The question that arises is whether Ugba would be able to make the kind of impact he made in 2011 even as he could not win the election. Ugba’s campaign slogan was ‘change’ in 2011 because he said he was going to alter and improve on what Suswam was doing for the people of the state. But, he is yet to unfold his slogan for 2015. No one knows whether he would retain the old slogan, ‘change’ or change it as a new governorship candidate would emerge on the platform of the PDP. Ugba is not alone in the APC governorship race as a former permanent secretary, Mr. Akange Audu, a former head of service; Mr. Mike Iordye, a member of the House of Representatives; Mr. Emmanuel Jime and a few others have also indicated interest in the race. The indication of interest by those mentioned above shows that Ugba may not have it easy in the party’s governorship primary for 2015. Ugba had it smooth in 2011 because he was the sole candidate; but this year, people that appear taller than him are in the race. In the PDP, there are about 30 governorship aspirants with about 20, six and four aspirants coming from Benue North West, Benue North East and Benue South Senatorial Districts respectively. ' * " ! < PDP are going to have one governorship candidate each but when the time for campaign comes, the PDP is likely to make more impact because many of the APC chieftains have left the party. The APC has this year alone, lost bigwigs like Prof. David Iornem, Mr. Benjamin Aboho, Chief Godwin Ukpoju, Mr. Raphael

Ugba

When the time for campaign comes, the PDP is likely to make more impact because many of the APC chieftains have left the party Igbago and a host of others who have all defected to the PDP. The APC can only boast of Justice Utsaha, Senator George Akume, Mr. Fidelis Anwe, Mr. Mike Iordye and a few others whose political | ! # those in the PDP. Even as the former deputy governorship candidate of the APC, Alhaji Usman Abubakar, said he may not join the PDP. He has left the APC with his supporters. With the complaints being made by those that have left APC, the Z

| The bigwigs that have left the party allege that internal democracy was lacking. In Buruku where a former member of the House of Representatives, Mr. Emmanuel Orker Jev was holding sway, the Supreme Court removed him on the ground that he was not supposed to be in the House of Representatives because the process that took

him there was not democratic. Jev’s removal showed that the party was overwhelmed by the imposition of candidates. At the Benue State House of Assembly, the minority leader, Mr. Adugu Gbileve was removed through the same legal process for reasons of imposition and lack of internal democracy. These problems revolve around a particular person in the APC. It may not be over exaggeration for one to say that the disease worrying the APC has changed from AIDS to Ebola. No one knows whether many of those in the party today would not leave for the PDP before the commencement of primaries in November this year since Ebola has no cure. ' <R<" | > and that of the senate president, David Mark, as well as that of the two ministers may make the number of its supporters to swell as 2015 approaches. The APC members that have joined the APC have said that the practice of internal democracy in the PDP has made it to wax stronger across the country. They give glowing tributes to Governor Suswam over the party’s structure and the method used in the selection of candidates for elections. No one knows who would emerge from the PDP as Suswam has said he would not interfere with the primaries. He promised to provide a level-playing ground for all the aspirants and he appears to be doing so as any aspirant who !

Suswam’s deputy, Chief Steven Lawani; the Minister of State for Trade Industry and Investment, Dr. Samuel Ortom; his bosom friends, Sam Ode, who was a minister in the Niger Delta ministry and Paul Harris Ogbole, who used to work with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC); former Minister of Justice, Mike Aondoakaa; former commissioners and permanent secretaries under him and other top government functionaries at the federal and state levels are in the governorship race. If intrigues do not lead to the PDP disunity, if

# the party as its leader and if the primaries are properly handled, the party may have an edge over the APC in the 2015 elections. While the APC may quietly choose its candidate, the issue of zoning may cause problem for the PDP.

Politics

My mission in Kwara, by Dara Deacon John Dara, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State, was a member of the National Conference. He has served the country in various capacities, including being a special assistant to Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd) during ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime. In this interview with BISI ADEDAYO, he spoke extensively on the recommendations of the justconcluded Confab. He also bares his mind on the politics of Kwara State. Excerpts:

W

hat is your assessment of the elections in Ekiti and Osun states vis-avis the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s performance? I believe the stage is being set for a more mature approach to politics; the stage is being set for more peaceful outcome of elections. I believe that as long as the INEC ensures free and fair elections, and as long as political parties allow internal democracy in their various parties, there will be less acrimony and tension. I believe that 2015 will be an improvement on all previous elections in the country. Of course, I know there will be a lot of surprises. There will be a lot of hype against my party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). But the reality is that it is the dominant party in Nigeria. It is the party to beat and it is likely to sweep the polls in 2015 - not because of any rigging - but just commonsense and the advantages of incumbency and all that. However, I believe with hard work things will change. You can see around the world that ruling parties have found themselves in the opposition. Look at what happened in India; the new Prime Minister there had been in the opposition for almost four decades. He had tried and failed but this time, the same electorate that had apparently been dancing to the tune of the incumbent made up their minds that they wanted a change and nobody could stop them. When the time for change comes in Nigeria it will be inevitable, but I think 2015 is still for the PDP. You contested the presidential election in 2011 under the platform of another party. What is your political aspiration for 2015? I like to see myself as a man on a mission in politics. I am not driven by ambition; I am driven by areas where I perceive there is need and I see myself as one of the best

materials to solve those problems. I look at Kwara State and I feel sorry because what we have been having for almost 40 years, is mediocrity ! * > ' believe the time to make the state governance has come and I see myself as the man who will bring about that kind of change when it is time. But the INEC has not lifted the ban on campaigns, and when it is time I will run for the governorship seat of the state and the people of the state will know that the game changer has come. Some Nigerians are of the view that the bane of the country’s problem is leadership. Do you subscribe to this? I have always felt that our system has not worked well enough. Some will say the problem is the quality of leadership; others will say the fault is in the structures we are operating. I am one of those who believe that from the colonial times, there have been some deliberate lopsidedness in the balance of power; there were some injustices #

> * ! military and this has created a lot of distrust in the nation. This is why we have this constant agitation for restructuring; agitation for change in the constitution. However, I believe in the two views that the operators of the constitution are as critical as the quality of the constitution itself. To address the two problems of leadership and constitution there have been demands for a Sovereign National Conference and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had to give to those demands and convened what we called the National Political Reform Conference. The recommendations were far-reaching and would have addressed a lot of issues but unfortunately, because the report was compromised with the purported third term agenda, it

Dara ended up not being implemented. So, the demands for a conference that will come up with implementable recommendations continued and initially President Goodluck Jonathan was reluctant especially because some of the people calling for the conference were emphasising the need for it to be sovereign. They felt that the decisions of the conference will be bold, subject * ! Nigeria. Therefore, they wanted the conference to be independent of the existing government structures. But legally and technically, making the conference sovereign would have meant that the sovereignty of the people is transferred to the conference and whatever decision Z ! # > ! * and binding without the people having any need to even authenticate it again. President Jonathan wisely avoided the idea of sovereignty. He constituted what he simply called the National Conference and the objective is to address every issue that we felt had undermined the progress of Nigeria; that has retarded the growth of Nigeria; that has slowed down the pace and progress of Nigeria. I think he did a very good job in making sure that the conference was as representative as possible. There are people who said the conference delegates were not elected, but they were actually >

# | of Nigeria. For instance, each of the six geo-political zones was called upon to produce representatives of the various ethnic nationalities as delegates. I can speak about the Middle Belt as various ethnic nationalities in the Middle Belt were called upon to send names of their representatives. In fact, we all converged in Jos, Plateau State, and

did a sorting out until everybody # * & happened to Ohanaeze, Afenifere and various interest groups. Many of the professional organizations were also products of election. If it had been an INEC-conducted political election, what would have happened is that most of the civil society groups, professional bodies would not have been represented and the quality of those who would have emerged would probably make it less credible. It was a clear indication that Nigerians were enthusiastic about the conference and it was highly representative. We also believe | desires and yearning of the people of the country. There are sections of the * the decisions not favouring them, but it was about give and take. No region of the country got what it wanted and every region went away with something. To that extent, I think it was a remarkable and successful conference. Why was the conference unable to reach a compromise on the derivation principle and had to hand it over to the presidency? I think the press has misrepresented the decision of the conference on derivation. It is not out of mischief but a clear misunderstanding of what a conference of that nature is all about. From the beginning, some of us * $ a lot of compromises; that things may not turn out to be in the precise terms that delegates who came with # ! ' those people wanted 100 per cent of the things on the table, that means others will have zero per cent. We ! >

| interests. But let me point out that the conference succeeded in taking 98 if not 99 per cent of the issues that were presented before it. We had 20 # 20 brilliant reports. At the plenary sessions, we debated, discussed and analysed the various reports; *

* 19 of them without any dissenting voice. That was unprecedented and spectacular. Then, on the devolution of power #

like the exclusive, concurrent and residual legislative lists which bordered on revenue allocation, the decisions were smoothly taken # „ > " there was a general consensus at the conference that the current 13 per cent is not adequate and that it

what we have been having for almost 40 years, is mediocrity

governance. I believe the time to make the state a model and pacesetter in good governance has come and I see myself as the man who will bring about that kind of change when it is time should be increased. The problem was by how much? While some wanted it to be increased by one per cent, others wanted it increased by as much as 37 per cent and others wanted it to be 50 per cent. In the end, some elders were selected to go and distil all the ideas and they initially came up with 18 per cent. But most of the delegates from the North wanted the damage caused by insurgency to be addressed and they felt there

! *> from the Federal Government to address it. Many of us felt we should not create the impression that we are rewarding insurgency and terrorism. We therefore packaged it as funds to ameliorate the consequences of disasters and crises not just terrorism. So if there are people who are victims of natural disasters there should be standing funds from which their problems can be addressed. Some us felt embarrassed that the people of Bakassi who have been displaced due to no fault of theirs, the Federal Government has not fully rehabilitated them. I think that is a shame on Nigeria. In the same manner, we have people who had ! ! | year, yet they have not been properly rehabilitated. I think this is a shame on Nigeria too. In the same manner, all those who have been victims of Boko Haram and other violent | : of the nation should be properly rehabilitated. Reconstruction works should be done in the region where damages have been caused. I believe that it is good to have a dedicated fund to address such needs, but it should not be exclusively for victims of insurgency and terrorism.

Enugu: Nwoye and his many tough talks Continued from Page 16

council, Nwoye challenged Engr. Abba to a debate on issues of governance, programmes and policies of government in the state. He dismissed as erroneous, the impression that the PDP is a dominant party in the state, noting that the party is merely a party in power which uses the instrument of oppression and repression to cajole the people. “What you see in the PDP is not a dominating party; what you see is a repressive government. Most Enugu people are not members of the PDP; they are just people who live in a state that is being governed

by the repressive PDP regime. To change the discussion, we will like to get to the heart of the people and talk to them and relate with their immediate needs.� “At this moment, we need a strong opposition party to be able to get to the course. Election is about 10 months from now; we are just forming a brand new party. We need strong hands; we cannot just willy-nilly choose people. That is why you see the calibre of people that are running this party. And that is why I’m throwing it open to the PDP chairman, Engr. Abba that we need an open debate about the issues. I’m giving you guys

an open invitation - that we need to talk about things; we need to talk about governance to have a real discussion, not just speaking without debating. Let’s talk about the programmes that they have; ‡ Z ! * promiseso; let’s look at what their manifesto says - are they living up to those expectations? That’s why I’m here to serve,� he insisted. He continued: “This party (APC) is for the Igbo. This is the only party that will allow an Igbo man to vie S presidency - and I guarantee that you will see a presidential candidate of Igbo origin.

“In employment recruitment they have failed the youths; they allowed hundreds of youths to die looking for a job that they should have been asked to come and do. So we are looking for an alternative. Fifteen years of failure is too long; we cannot sustain that; we cannot allow that. We must think deeply; we are ' but it’s a major advancement in our pursuit of true freedom for all of us, in our pursuit of happiness, in our pursuit of our own God-given right, to share from the natural resources that we have. “Enugu State, the coal city state, does not mine coal. They rated us

as contributing zero to the national economy and yet we have coal that is capable of providing us with # even supply others. But we don’t have utilisation of that. And so, months after months, our governor goes to Abuja to collect money. There is absolutely no internal mobilisation for fund; they collect, they share. If you don’t belong, you are not part of it and now they tell you that Iheoma Dinihu but their own Ihuoma is available now. They are pocketing their own now but when it gets to our own turn, they tell us it’s in the future. We don’t accept that; it’s not true, and it’s a cheat.�

Workers’ challenges and need for improved welfare Johnmark Ukoko

W

orkers in the developed countries are respected and highly regarded as their welfare is of paramount importance to the authorities. Retirees known as “senior citizens� in the United Kingdom are celebrated and availed every opportunity to help them savour their status as old men and women who are valued for the services they have rendered to their society during their youthful years. The same however, cannot be totally said of Nigeria, where government and private sector operatives treat their workers with disdain, resulting in endless strikes, protests, lockouts, threat, salary backlog and other unfriendly labour policies which in turn result in low productivity of workers. Nigerian retirees died regularly on long queues while trying to be “captured� to enable them collect their pension, gratuity or other stipends due, many years after leaving service. The unlucky ones died without being ! * To address the issue of welfare of workers, which many labour leaders have complained about for ages, the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB), the umbrella body of insurance brokers in the country, has urged leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress 8:` ; # related stakeholders in order to take advantage of 2014 Pension Reform Act ! * ! The President of the NCRIB, Mr. Ayodapo Shoderu, made the plea during an interactive session between the NLC and insurance operators recently. According to Shoderu, the welfare of workers should continually occupy prime position in the reckoning of government in its developmental strides, pointing out that the quality of labour was a major index for determining the advancement or other wise of any country. He said, “The United States of America, United Kingdom, Japan, China, Canada and other developed > !

as developed nations because of due consideration their governments accorded labour.� According to him, the 2014 Reformed Pension Act mandated employers to take group life assurance for their workers, noting that the step would increase the regime of ! * # Z in retirement. “Aside the increased pension contributions on the part of the employers, the reform provides that an employer’s contribution under the group life should not be less than 20 percent of the employees’ monthly emolument. In addition, a group life insurance policy must be maintained in favour of the employee’s annual total emoluments similar to the old Act.� Shoderu added that the elimination

spite of extant laws on compliance with group life by employers of labour, government at the three strata, namely Federal, state and local governments have continued to be lax in compliance. In his words, “The Federal Government and its agencies could be said to be less culpable as records shows higher compliance by Federal Government agencies. Some of the weak reasons being adduced was that the group life insurance enforcement #

* ! complied with by Federal institutions for their workers, while the state and local governments could comply at their convenience. “The fact must be made that law is law, and must be complied with at all levels of government, irrespective of jurisdiction,� he posited. He called for the creation of platforms of interaction between the Nigerian Labour Congress, employers unions and other critical stakeholders across the country to highlight the importance of the group life aspect of the new reform and need for compliance, adding that it should be the responsibility of the labour union to rub minds with professional bodies, especially those that have to do with welfare of workers in order to explore the new reform in favour of workers. According to Shoderu, there is need to create more aggressive awareness campaign encouraging workers to adhere to the new reforms Act and sensitising employees to demand compliance by their employers, adding that labour must always be ready to take drastic or militant actions such as lock ups or picketing on companies that are unwilling to conform to the provisions of the Act. A labour leader, Mr. Waheed Amhed, of Furniture and Metal Workers Union told Saturday Newswatch that governments at the various levels are to blame for the plights of workers and retirees. He disclosed that there are good labour laws in the country, stressing that what is lacking is the political will by successive governments to implement favourable worker-friendly laws. Ahmed stressed that workers and retirees of the Federal, state, local governments and private sectors are not given the priority they deserve by the authorities, hence the low productivity and low morale of majority of workers in the country. In his words, “The new Pension Reform Act is a welcome development, but how are the workers and pensioners in the country sure the Act will be faithfully implemented by the authorities. The problems workers and retirees have grapple with over the years, did not arise because of lack of laws, but the lack of political will by those assigned to implement the laws.�

NLC President, Abdulwahab Omar

He disclosed that governments at the three levels collude with employers at both public and private sectors to surcharge workers, adding that the country’s judicial system has not € the Federal Government and state governments on many occasions refused, to implement agreements they had freely entered with workers union for years, adding that the private sectors have towed the line the government in refusing to implement # Z # ! * “If the Federal Government refused to implement agreements it freely entered with respected unions like university lecturers, medical doctors,

judicial workers and other unions many years after the agreements were signed, why will the private employers bother to implement agreements they have entered with their employees. “The same scenario is playing out in the private schools where workers are paid peanuts, the media where workers are owed for months on end.

Abia Think Tank on operation restore Aba The commercial city of Aba had been and remains one of the country’s leading industrial and commerce centre. However, neglect of the city by successive governments overtime as well as the problems of kidnapping and armed robberies, have kept investors and businessmen away, making the once famous city a shadow of its former self. Recently, concerned technocrats and businessmen from Abia State came together to form the Abia Think Tank Association, with the aim of cleaning up Aba and other major cities of Abia State towards restoring the state to the status of investment destination. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

S

hortly before and after the country’s independence, Aba, popularly known, as “Enyimba city� was the third rated industrialised city, next only to Lagos and Kano. The city was also the fourth in ranking of commercial cities in Nigeria next only to Lagos, Kano and Onitsha. However, from the 90s through to the mid 2000s, most of the manufacturing companies that once had >

* city to other parts of Nigeria. The reasons given by the foreign and local companies for relocating from the once famous city include the problem of deplorable road networks, poor electricity supply, multiplicity of taxation, uncontrolled armed robbery, kidnapping, hired killing and other security challenges, which became the lot of Abia State since the early 2000s. The town that was one of the most populated cities east of the Niger suddenly became desolate, with various successive administrations unable to tackle the issues that robbed Aba its past glory. To support the city and its people, revive the ailing and dead companies as well as # # > ! Z to the city, Abia Think Tank Association E  ‘ * � ! Summit’ in December 2013 to brainstorm ! brought Aba to its knees. & *

cerned Abians, captains of industries, gover > " Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, " > a hosts of other important personalities from Nigeria and abroad. As a follow up to last year’s summit, the Abia Think Tank Association has concluded plans to stage the second edition of the summit. Addressing the press recently in Lagos on the summit, the President of Abia Think Tank

" ^ ‹ „ ! # " sed that the summit which will take place in Aba will hold between October 23 and 24, 2014. He said the second summit is planned to consolidate and deepen the gains of the earlier summit, and maintain momentum in

> ! tors in Aba. He added that the forthcoming summit is planned to evolve a workable strategic road map for the city, and ensure that the city wears a new look, stressing that one summit

would not be able to resolve the myriads of problems confronting the city. Ohuabunwa stressed that his group is a ‹ "

in a position to promise the people of the city of anything, but seeks the support of the people of the city, the state, Federal and local governments, captains of industries and all : * In his words, “We, the members of Abia Think Tank Association are not politicians. We are not out to use our platform to seek elective votes. We are not in a position to promise the city anything. All we crave for is the

* to the problems that has brought the city to its keens.� Ohuabunwa, who is a member of the Governing Council of Sure-P, and former president of Nigeria Economic Summit Group, listed some of the important personalities that will grace the event to include, Abia State governor, T. A. Orji; Minister of Finance, Dr. : ‹ „Z S'# Œ ^ ` ! " Emeka Wogu; Prof. Anya O. Anya, Dr. Chidi " R ' Z " R $ „ >

Responding to questions on the practical

Z ‹ > association for the city, Ohuabunwa disclosed that his group has opened a functional ! ! > interface with all stakeholders, such as the ‹ > " !

associations, local business owners and the people of the city. He added that his group has helped !

*

tions such as Association of Small Scale Industrialists (NASSI), Association of Leather and Allied Industrialists of Nigeria (ALAIN), Small and Medium Enterprises, Nigeria Association of Small and Medium Enterprises (NASME), Garment Workers Association and a host of other associations. He said that his group is entering into a working collaboration with Abia Polytechnic, Abia State University and other corporate bodies on enrichment programme, adding that the two institutions will be tasked to running modern business and mentorship on entrepreneurship for Small and Medium V 8 ^V ; > participation in good governance. He lamented that despite the fact that many trailers and trucks come all the way from Garbon, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroun and many other countries to buy made in Aba shoes, garments, lady handbags and many other items, yet the local businessmen that produce these items remained poor. In his words, “Anytime you visit Aba, you will see trailers and trucks that came from many African countries to buy products produced in Aba. You will be surprised that

Abia State Governor, Theodore Orji

these businessmen and artisans that produce these items are very poor. It is like working like elephants and eating like ants.� He said that his association has engaged the two leading higher institutions in the state to help educate the local businessmen/ women on how to run a successful business * Ohuabunwa also disclosed that his organisation has engaged a leading American shoe manufacturer to partner with the Aba shoe makers with a view to taking made in Aba shoes to the United States of America. The leading business man stressed that opportunities abound for made in Aba shoes to gain entry into the United States of America’s market, as their traditional shoe manufacturing country, China, is moving out S !

# * ! According to him, “we have engaged an American, with a view to help standardise made in Aba shoes to gain entry into America’s market. You are aware that China that has been their traditional shoe supplier is moving to other higher paying business, so ! * # # opportunity.� When asked about the role his association intends to play in the forth coming elections, a member of the group who is interfacing with top politicians from Abia State told Saturday Newswatch that his group will engage all the leading politicians from the state

who are seeking elective posts to know the plans they have for the city. The source said Abia Think Tank Association will provide a platform for all Abians seeking votes to express what they intend to do for the city if they are voted into power, adding that his group will hold such politicians accountable on assumption of In his words, “It is true that our association is a non political group. We are going to provide opportunities for all the leading politicians from the state, of what they will do for the state if they are voted into power. We don’t want our people to be told stories by politicians.� His views were shared by some of the members of the group, who say that politicians are only accessible during elections " !

They were of the opinion that the state capital and some other major towns also grapple with problems Aba has contended with while calling on the state government to be alive to its responsibilities in the area of social infrastructure. & ‹ > provide social amenities to towns and villages to stem mass migration of the people to other parts of the country, in search of greener pastures. It is left to be seen how far Abia Think Tank will go in assisting the panned restoration of Aba city to its enviable position as a leading commercial, industrial and commerce centre.

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

The man who never lied O

nce upon a time, there lived a wise man called Mamad. He never lied. All the people in the land, even the ones who lived twenty days away, knew about him. The king heard about Mamad and ordered his subjects to bring him to the palace. He looked at the wise man and asked: “Mamad, is it true that you have never lied?� “It’s true.� “And you will never lie in your life?� “I’m sure of that.� “Okay, tell the truth, but be careful! The lie is cunning, and it gets on your tongue easily.� Several days passed and the king called Mamad once again. There was a big crowd: the king was about to go hunting. The king held his horse by the mane, his left foot was already on the stirrup. He ordered Mamad: “Go to my summer palace and tell the queen I will be with her for lunch. Tell her to prepare a big feast. You will have lunch with me then.� Mamad bowed and went

to the queen. Then the king laughed and said: “We won’t go hunting, and now Mamad will lie to the queen. Tomorrow we will laugh on his behalf.� But the wise Mamad went to the palace and said: “Maybe you should prepare a big feast for lunch tomorrow, and maybe you shouldn’t. Maybe the king will come by noon, and maybe he won’t.� “Tell me will he come, or won’t he?� asked the queen. “I don’t know whether he put his right foot on the stirrup, or he put his left foot on the ground after I left.� Everybody waited for the king. He came the next day and said to the queen: “The wise Mamad, who never lies, lied to you yesterday.� But the queen told him about the words of Mamad. And the king realised that the wise man never lies, and says only that, which he saw with his own eyes.

helsea frontman, Didier Drogba, feels that strikerpartner Diego Costa has similar traits to himself as he continues to be a hit at Stamford Bridge. The Spanish forward has netted seven goals in €  ‚  ƒ  „ and Drogba has hailed the 25-year-old’s impact since joining from Atletico Madrid, comparing the forward’s late start to his professional career with his relatively late beginning to senior football as a 20-year-old with French club Le Mans. “Like me, he [Costa] came to this level a little bit late,� Drogba told repoters. “When I look at him, I can see the desire to win every challenge, to score goals. He’s very good. “He’s hungry for goals and that’s the best thing for a team like us. “I think for him to start the season in England, coming from Spain, which is a very different league, and to recreate the same thing he was doing at Atletico, is fantastic. “He’s really good and he’s enjoying playing here and being with us. That’s the best feeling he could have. He’s the striker we needed this season.�

The former Ivory Coast captain started Chelsea’s midweek Champions League € ƒ  ‚ ‚  ‚  which ended 1-1, and was pleased to be back on the pitch following an on-going ankle injury. “I’m like a diesel. I need time!� the 36-yearold said. “It’s good to be back. Most importantly, it’s good to play without pain. “That’s what I’ve been looking for, for the past few weeks, to play without pain. “I got a chance to start and despite the result, which was not the best, I’m quite happy with the way my ankle reacted to this kind of effort.� Following four consecutive wins in the Premier League, Chelsea face a tough task against reigning champions Manchester City on Sunday, and Drogba hopes his side can secure all three points at the Etihad. “It’s a different competition,� he said. “I hope we can continue the way we’ve started in the Premier League against City. I think we can and I hope we can. “We will go there to try to win, like we’ve gone out to try to win every game this season, so let’s see what’s going to happen.�

n a democratic political system, dissent is accommodated and sometimes regarded as inalienable right of the citizen. We have the right to disagree with each other, and even with the government. This right of dissent is protected by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and manifests in the right of free speech. But as with every right and privilege, there is always a limit. This right to disagree must be exercised in a responsible manner to avoid a reign of confusion and anarchy. That is why in company meetings and in most societies or organisational interactions, there is always a chairman who moderates the interplay of choices, agreements and disagreements. People are allowed to express their opinions, after which the chairman summarises, and comes up with a position which becomes the formal view of the group. Sometimes, this consensus or agreement is achieved through a voting or polling procedure. Of course, where there is a tie, the chairman casts the decisive vote. Thereafter, everybody is expected to comply with that decision, including those who initially had different views or positions. That is the only way order can be attained and progress assured. In the political system, similar principles apply for good order. In the National Assembly, we watch robust $ % & they eventually end up with a given position, with or without a vote. Even when the two chambers disagree on some issues, they set up a joint committee to reconcile and harmonise their positions, and come out with a single position. In some circumstances however, like in panel assignments, a minority report may be produced if the minority feels very strongly on an issue or issues essentially for the records. There cannot be an expectation that the minority report will upstage the majority report or that the writers of the minority report will refuse to comply with the ultimate decision of the majority. This right of dissent or right to disagree has a natural extension to trade union activities. The laws of the nation allow trade unions to occasionally disagree with their employers on issues related to their remuneration and welfare. To avoid anarchy and unnecessary disruption of legitimate economic activities, a deliberate protocol must be followed for negotiations between employers and employees.

Trade & professional unions: Misusing the right to dissent ings to the public or to attract public sympathy to their course; anything else that disrupts work is illegal. Often, I wonder if the trade or professional unions understand the impact of work stoppages on the economy. Do they appreciate how much damage is done to the economy if work is stopped for one day, not to talk of the many weeks and months many disrupt the economy by their strikes? They worsen poverty and lower $ " 8 " our global competitiveness on labour

" $ " attract global labour outsourcing. Sincerely, I believe that the strike option should be seldom used, if at all, and only in extreme cases. But it is perplexing that many of Nigeria’s trade unions and certain professional associations have perfected the use of strikes as instrument of blackmail against the government and/or their employers. Sometimes, this power or right of dissent is blatantly misused for no good cause. Nigeria experienced the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) crisis. Luckily, many of the primary and secondary schools were on long vacation. The Federal Government, in consultation with the

% ask all schools that were open to close down as it took measures to contain the epidemic. Even schools running summer and extension classes were shut. Then considering the uncertainty of the time required either to contain the epidemic or for the full remission of the disease in the country, the government announced that schools would not reopen at the time they were originally scheduled to reopen for the

’ “

new session, but would rather reopen on the 13th of October or so. In the interim, the governments (Federal and states), undertook measures to $ to contain the infection and to prevent future infections. It even received support from several international organisations such as the WHO, CDC, UNICEF, ADB, etc in the campaign including training teachers and care givers on how to handle their wards in schools and elsewhere. Having done all that, and with the professional advice of the health authorities (local and international), the government announced that the schools could now resume earlier than was thought, announcing a new resumption date of September 22. Then the Nigerian Union of Teachers (NUT) countered, all in a bid to resist this new directive from government. They have threatened that no teacher would go to work on September 22, and that no primary or secondary school would open on that date. Why? To me, this is taking the right of dissent too far. Do they love Nigerian children more than the governments? Or, are they just not ready to work? Is the disruption of our school calendar not enough? Many of the unions have ^ $

they are threatening another one; haba! As at date, there is no active Ebola patient in the country. Twelve out of the 19 infected survived, and the Nigerian government has not been more successful in mobilising the country behind any issue as we have done for Ebola. Even the Boko Haram onslaught has not successfully united

The decision to change the normal resumption date was taken by the government; I am not aware that NUT or any union or association persuaded government or went on strike to get government take the initial decision to move the resumption date to October 13. So why can we not trust the same government that took that preemptive action to know when to change its mind?

Nigerians. Secondly, the decision to change the normal resumption date was taken by the government; I am not aware that NUT or any union or association persuaded government or went on strike to get government take the initial decision to move the resumption date to October 13. So why can we not trust the same government that took that preemptive action to know when to change its mind? It is a pity that everyone now questions every decision or action of the government. Well, we may reserve the right to question government’s decisions and actions. I guess that is part of the freedom of thought and speech enshrined in our constitution. But to insist on forcing our views and preferences by strikes and other economic disruptive tactics is patently wrong and illegal, and must not be allowed to hold sway. Otherwise, we may enthrone anarchy. The whole idea of establishing governments and electing people to run them, in my view, is to help organise society and take actions on behalf of the people. We are all entitled to make suggestions to that government on how we expect things to be done. I can bet that there may be 170 million ideas from Nigerians on how a particular matter should be treated. It is the responsibility of the elected government to consider all the views and take what they consider the best option for the nation. To unduly or forcefully abridge that right of government is anachronistic in my reckoning. If we feel that any government is consistently not doing what we want, the cycle of elections $$ "

partisan political motives, must be abhorred and condemned by true patriots.
