PDP woos back Atiku, Kwankwaso ... To rejoin party before Feb polls Perish the thought – Former VP Michael Olanrewaju, Osogbo and Akin Orimolade, Abuja

T

he Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) may have begun moves to woo back to its fold, some

party who are now in the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC). Those being targeted include former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and the Kano State Governor, Alhaji Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso. National Secretary of the party, Prof. Wale Oladipo, dropped the hint yesterday in Ile-Ife, Osun State, adding that the party has reached out to many of its aggrieved members, especially those that defected to rival political parties. According to Oladipo, the party’s reconciliation committee set up recently by the National Working Committee (NWC) plans to meet >>Continued on Page 2

iery Catholic Priest and founder of Adoration Ministry in Enugu, Rev. Father Camillus Ejike Mbaka, has predicted failure for the second bid of President Goodluck Jonathan. Fr. Mbaka made his prediction on prophetic revelations, saying he is compelled by divine intuition and unsavoury socio-economic incidents in the country to voice out his

concern. Delivering a sermon titled “From good luck to bad luck� during the Wednesday night end-of-year Adoration mass to usher in the New Year, the radical priest said he and millions of other Nigerians are disappointed by Jonathan’s administration, arguing that it has thus far failed to rescue the Chibok girls kidnapped by Boko Haram terrorists in

April last year. Fr. Mbaka had recently anointed the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, as the next First Lady of Nigeria. That was when Dame Patience, accompanied by the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu and his wife, Nwanneka, worshiped at the Adoration Ministry where the First Lady said she experienced “a spir-

itual rebirth.� Fr. Mbaka also did something symbolic after anointing Mrs. Jonathan on that day. He released some birds to ‘go But at last Wednesday’s Adoration mass, the priest said Jonathan will not win this year’s presidential election, recalling that one of the birds – which he said symbolised the President – he >>Continue on Page 2

PDP woos back Atiku, Kwankwaso Continued from Page 1 with all former members of the party in the APC and other political parties before the next general elections. The aim, according to him, is to ensure that the PDP wins the elections in all parts of the country. This, he said, would enhance the victory of President Goodluck Jonathan in the February presidential poll, and also brighten the party’s chances in other elections. Oladipo expressed optimism that those who had left the PDP for either personal or political

But reacting through his media aide Mallam Garba Shehu, Atiku described Oladipo’s claim as “totally un On the situation with the party in Ondo State, Oladipo said the crisis rocking that chapter of the party has been

resolved, adding that there are no more factions there. He therefore urged Nigerians to support Jonathan in his second term bid, saying that the President means well for the country. He attempted a comparison, saying: “General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) is too old to rule Nigeria. He cannot be compared with President Jonathan. He is too strict and harsh for Nigerians, whereas Jonathan is meek, humble and dedicated to the course of democracy and good governance.

Minister intensifies support for Jonathan’s re-election Emma Mgbeahurike, Owerri

T

he Minister of State for Education, Prof. Viola Onwuliri, has called on Mbaise people and Imo indigenes in general to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan at next month’s presidential election saying the president is passionate about the unity of the country. The minister made the appeal at the annual presentation of the late Professor Celestine Onwuliri Foundation (PROFOUND), and the 2014 Eze Cletus and Ugoeze Dorathy Oparaoji Memorial Educational Foundation (ECUDOMEF). According to her, Jonathan has transformed Nigeria beyond expectation through his Transformation Agenda, saying the administration has continued to promote unity and quality education at all levels. According to the min-

ister, the Federal Government has invested heavily on education, adding that Imo State is among

Onwuliri said what the state governments claim to be doing on education and other sectors stem largely from the disposition of the Federal government. “The Federal Government has spent more money in education than any state in the federation &

said. Onwuliri charged the media to give adequate visibility to the Federal presence in the states, while indicating that all UBEC and TETFUND projects in the tertiary institutions should be highlighted by the press. “These twin storey buildings being built across 305 wards of Imo State are the Federal Government projects funded by

According to the min-

ister, each of the projects costs N46.4million. “What the Federal Government does is to give the state the money, they engage their own contractors. But unfortunately in Imo State, you give them the money they engage their contractors; they claim our projects; nobody tells the people this are Jonathan’s proQ Prof. Onwuliri had earlier in the day inspected and commissioned some projects executed by PROFOUND, includeing the three bedroom bungalow for a widow, Mrs. Juliet Akanwa of Umuokeshi Amuzi in Ahiazu Mbaise council.

Mbaka also expressed surprise over the huge attendance.

Commenting on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Buhari (rtd), Mbaka who claimed not to be partisan, said the former Head of State cannot Islamise Nigeria as being feared in some circles. He confessed that he had never met Buhari before, but recalled that he (Buhari) fought corruption seriously as Head of State. “I don’t know Buhari. I have never sat with him before. I am not being partisan, but I want total change in Nigeria. Buhari cannot make Nigeria an Islamic country because we are in democracy. It was IBB’s government that dragged Nigeria into OIC.

It was further learnt that the incident got to a head in the early hour of yesterday, when some persons suspected to be Fulani herdsmen on revenge mission raided Shurun village and killed 10 persons, torching more than 20 houses in the early morning attack. An eyewitness said the gunmen announced their arrived at the village by shooting into the air to scare the villagers. In the process, the eyewitness continued, women fled into the bush for safety. He alleged that the attackers were aided by some Fulani resident

in the village and other neighbouring communities. “It is quite worrisome that the gunmen have been identified as the Fulani herdsmen living in our communities. They carried out the deadly attacks and returned to their huts unchallenged. The caliber of arms and ammunition used by the attackers is a proof that it was well co-ordinated to eliminate us,� he said. However, the Plateau Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Abu Emmanuel said he was yet to get full details of the attack from the Divisional Police Office in the locality. In a related develop-

ment, operatives of the anti-bomb squad of the state police command successfully diffused a bomb that was planted near the home of an Islamic scholar, Shiek Yahaya Jingir. The discovery of the bomb stirred speculations that Sheik Jingir and his followers might have been the target as they celebrated Eid-elMaulud yesterday.

He said that the upcoming general polls would not split the country as Nigerians were becoming more patriotic and yearning for good governance. According to the News Agency of Nigeria(NAN), the theme of the Solemn Assembly is: “It is a Good Thing to Give Thanks unto the Lord.� The governor said that God who brought the country together did not make a mistake.

He warned those making inciting statements ahead of the forthcoming general elections to desist from such acts, so that they would not incur the wrath of God. “I plead with Nigerians to seek peace and love one another according to the dictates of the Almighty God. “The best solution to peace and coexistence in Nigeria today is the reelection of Dr Goodluck Jonathan as the President in the coming election. “It is not the southerners that would re-elect Jonathan but the whole country; that is why we have a northerner and a Muslim as the Vice President in the person of Namadi Sambo. “This shows that it has nothing to do with ethnic

ore than eight months after the abduction of around 270 schoolgirls in North Eastern Nigeria, the girls’ parents are appealing to the United Nations (UN) to help return their daughters safely. Parents say they have lost faith in the Nigerian government to help them rescue their daughters, who were kidnapped from the north-eastern town of Chibok, Borno State by Boko Haram militants in April 2014. More than 50 girls have managed to escape but the fate of the others remains unknown. The girls’ parents say they are still being kept in the dark about what the government is doing to return them and about what may have happened to their daughters. In a bid to keep the issue alive and put pressure on the government, spokesmen of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign and some of the parents of the girls gathered in the Nigerian capital Abuja

Igwe Odegbo who is the traditional ruler of Nteje, Oyi Local Government Area of Anambra State, stated this when Princess Oduah and members of her campaign team paid him homage in his palace at Nteje. The courtesy call which also took him to the home of the PDP stalwart in the community, Chief Mike Nwakalor, was part of Oduah’s campaign for the Senatorial race tagged ‘Nteje 100 per cent vote for PDP.’ The traditional ruler noted that the achievements of Oduah in the aviation sector speaks volumes of what she would achieve if elected and leaves no one in doubt that she can deliver. “In you (Oduah) I see an achiever and a woman some men. Your track records of achievements in the aviation sector speaks volume of what you can do and how intellectually sound you can transform an ugly situation,� he said. The monarch said that he

had been following with keen interest how Oduah had consistently backed President Jonathan and the resources she invested in her pet project – Neighbour-2Neigbour – which helped to secure the President’s resounding victory in 2011.

Banks vs customers: Legal tango over illegal charges, fraudulent business practices It is no longer news that banks devise series of methods to make spurious and illegal deductions from their customers but the rate at which they do these is daily becoming alarming. Investigations by Newswatch Times discovered that some of the banks engage in the practice of exploiting customers by entering spurious charges on their accounts which in some cases have led to legal tussles. The actions of the bank have thrown some of the customers out of business while some are battling with failing health. BAYO AMODU reports.

Newswatch Times discovered that there has been a legal tussle between Saidon Africa Limited, located in Apapa, Lagos, owned by Dikeoma Okafor, and its banker. The owner of the company, in his quest to expand the business, struck a N900 million loan deal with Access Bank Plc. But, the deal turned sour as it pitch him against the bank, leading to the eventual collapse of his business, and leaving many of his employees

that Access Bank mismanaged his account with number 0010010008533; an act which he said has caused him much psychological trauma and loss of fortune.

Banks vs customers: Legal tango over illegal charges Continued from Page 11

Experts say that with this new trend of fraud, depositors are fast becoming disillusioned. Emerging revelations from investigations by Newswatch Times showed that except a bank customer, especially those with large volumes of transactions engage their bank in thorough account reconciliation procedures, and sometimes accompanied by legal procedures, illegal charges would be imputed in their accounts, and would be borne by the customers as normal charges. For instance, it was not until a company, known as Advance Logistics Procurement Services Ltd., with account numbers 2005870442 and 2008147299 at First Bank Plc, Lagos, engaged the services of a forensic accountant and lawyers that the bank could agree to refund the company the sum of N88, 916,834.49. The Managing Consultant, Forensic Consulting, Ori Adeyemo, told Newswatch Times that it takes trained eyes in forensic accounting to detect spurious charges by the banks. He said it is after one is armed with concrete evidence on fraudulent manipulations of his account by the banks that he can now approach the law court or the CBN for redress. For some customers that were able to engage such services of forensic accountants, they have been able to get some redress as the banks they had issues with later agreed to %  by Sam Okpebri of Internal Control & Audit, ¢ ‡ $ $ % ! the account of one of its customers, Pastinor Investment Co.

For instance, the customer must make N100 million monthly turnover, otherwise the shortfall on the COT will be charged to the customer’s account. It is illegal charge because the COT is chargeable on valid withdrawals only,� said Adeyemo. He added that COT shortfall does not exist in Guidelines on Bank Charges. He said no bank can force any customer to withdraw money from his account when there is no need for it because such action will negate the equity principle, which says that none shall unjustly be allowed to enrich himself. So, the COT shortfall is a non-issue. According to experts, banks use what they call decimalisation, a process whereby the banks are reluctant to pay the customers any amount after the decimal point.

Road to 2015 Polls

Oyo guber:Heavy weights’ll be shocked – SDP candidate Oluseyi Makinde, a petroleum engineer, is the Oyo State governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for this year’s election. He told Newswatch Times that he is out to succeed Governor Abiola Ajimobi as well as shock political heavy weights in the race. Assistant politics editor MANSUR OLADUNJOYE

excerpts:

W

hy did you defect from the PDP to the SDP? Well, it is an open secret how the primaries in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), went. The party would not obey its own guideline and it wouldn’t also obey a court order ' € " bearer. So, when they wouldn’t do that and our people insisted that they were waiting for us, they urged us to have a platform for them where the hope of the generality of the people of Oyo State could be realised. We then decided to move down to the SDP to give that hope to our people. $% ' # % * +, Well, there is the concept of the Omoluabi in Yorubaland. And that is who we are and that is how we were brought up. We looked at the parties and all the available platforms and coming from this part of the country, and being Omoluabi ourselves, we looked at the promoters of the SDP in the persons of Chief Olu Falae and Chief Segun Osoba. These are the men that have contributed immensely to the progress of the | X <% ' And we discussed with them. They have vision for Yoruba. We just kind of share that vision. How do you intend to cover enough ground within six weeks to be able to face those with .

0 1. , Well, democracy is not about the positions you have occupied in the past. It is about the people. It is about the majority of the people and that is where we are going. We have listened to our people. We have heard them. We have given to them our programmes and our manifestos, and there is an alignment that given a new platform and they would vote for us. Really, politics is all about people. If the majority of the people say this is where we are going, then that is it and that is democracy. So, I believe that the politics of Oyo State is just about to be turned around. And all these so called heavyweights are going to be

shocked at the end of the day. This is because ' ' Actually, the vote is going to count. How would you popularise the relatively unknown SDP? It is not all that easy. It is about educating our people. They know already what we stand for. I am not just coming into the political arena. I have contested in the past and we have been engaged with our people all these years. We are doing a lot to introduce the party. And of course the SDP was used as a political party in 1993. So, it is not something totally new. And people also recognise the fact that the freest and fairest election ever conducted in this country was won by the SDP. I will probably say we have turned full circle. ‡ < 8 [ [ surprised that we are the one projecting this. The reality is that the youth of these days are not really concerned about the party but the candidate. So, once we have a large following from Omititun as a structure and they follow Seyi Makinde as a person, then all is well. That is what they care about. And remember that most of our 9 ! identifying symbols. I thought where we need to do a lot of work is actually with the elderly people. Do you have candidates across board? We had hectic time sieving candidates. There [_8 candidates in the state for the elections. What are your chances of winning the contest with those who have done it before? That is actually our strength because the people that have done it before, people have seen their limitation. And for us, we haven’t done it before, but we have done a certain things that people have seen. You can fool our people some of the time, you cannot fool them all the time. They are convinced where we are coming from. They

Makinde know what we have done privately. They know precisely our engagement with them. They know precisely that over the years, we listened to some of the issues within our communities. So, ours is that we have been able to do some things privately and they know if we have the resources ! % ! $% 2 # # # 3 # . governor if you eventually win? Well, we have our manifesto and our campaign theme which we term, ‘Operation HEAP.’ We are talking about health care delivery. We are talking of making agriculture a positive business in Oyo State and also weaning the state from over dependent on oil by projecting agriculture. We have education. We all see the level of decay in the infrastructure in Oyo State. We see students

' ' ! @ unsafe condition. There are dilapidated buildings everywhere and non-availability of materials for the teachers. If you look at the West African Examination Council results, Oyo State came behind all the states in the South West. We have a good shot at physical infrastructure. I am an engineer by training, and if I look at the current government, you will sympathise with us. If you go to Total { % there which never works. So, to me, that is a halfhearted way of doing things. We will get all we have into doing all those things. And, we have security in our manifesto. We intend to deepen the current security situation in % $ % ' !

I believe that politics of Oyo State is just to be turned around. And all these so called heavyweights, I think they are going to be shocked at the end of the day. This is because the decision of the people Actually the vote is going to count What are the factors you think would shape Oyo Statae election in 2015? I think the major factor is the personalities that are involved. I can characterise it for you. You have three of the candidates who are over 65 years old. You have two who are around 50 years old. I am 47 years old. And one of those two has been tested as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And people have seen what he has done and what he didn’t do. And you have a personality that kind of stand out. I believe people would gravitate towards him. That personality is me. What is your take on generational shift? That is what happens now all over the world. X < [ 8 [ [ actually go for generational shift, not just for the sake of it, but going to somebody with substance, and going there with a marking script. We will give to them what we intend them to do and the time frame within which to do them. Within those % % ! our targets, then, people are going to know and hold us responsible for things we said we would be able to do.

Bauchi 2015:I don’t share any relationship withYuguda – APC candidate Barrister Mohammed Abubakar, the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bauchi State, in this interview with NANKPAH BWAKAN debunked rumours of being sponsored by Governor Isa Yuguda. Abubakar, who was previously the state’s Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General as well as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s National Commissioner in charge of Legal Services, though acknowledged they were friends and school mates, however, lamented how Yuguda betrayed him when he contested the Bauchi South Senatorial election while in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Since then he has ceased to have any relationship with Yuguda. Excerpts:

D

id the PDP in Bauchi State pose threat to your candidature? I doubt if the PDP will ever pose any threat to me in Bauchi State. The PDP as you have seen today, as far as I am concerned, is non-existent in the state. We did it before in 2007 when we defeated an incumbent governor.

We are going to repeat that feat again. Now, we are going to sweep the PDP out of Bauchi State. It is clear that Nigerians are yearning for change. What is your reaction to a newspaper publication that described you as Governor Yuguda’s boy? Of course, I have never heard any

nonsense greater than that. I became = %% X General in 1990 and Yuguda then 6 Â Mortgage Bank. He was not the governor of Bauchi State then. There was no way I could have been his

me into politics as alleged by the newspaper, is a blatant lie. I contested for a Senate seat and everybody knew and thought he was supporting me then in the PDP. If Yuguda was my friend and sponsor, he would have sponsored me to the Senate. He started by playing a smart game when we were to go for the bye-election for the completion of the term of Senator Bala Mohammed who was appointed Federal Capital Territory minister. There was no election; they just gambled. I don’t gamble because I don’t win. During the proper primary election, Yuguda made it look as if he was supporting me until the last day before the exercise. He withdrew his support and everybody knew how much I put in. If he is my friend he wouldn’t have abandoned me mid-way. There is no iota of truth that Yuguda is sponsoring me. From the

time I contested the primary to date I have no relationship with the PDP or Yuguda. But as a Muslim, any time I meet him I greet him. I met him at a mosque when some books were launched and I greeted him because he is the governor of the state. Even if anybody doesn’t like it, he is the governor of the state and we are respecting the position of the governor and not Yuguda. Recently, I met him at a mosque behind the Government House. I drove from my house in company of the deputy director general of my campaign orgainsation, Alhaji Salisu Azare. After the prayers, we greeted and I entered my car. But my detractors were telling the world that Yuguda went to my house and picked me to the mosque. That was a blatant lie. We are Muslims; there is no way I will see him in the mosque and refuse to pray and go back because Yuguga is in the mosque. What exactly is the relationship between you and Yuguda? Since 2011 I have not had any relationship with Yuguda except to the extent that my religion enjoins me Continued from Page 16

favour of sports.� IOC member Dr Gerardo Werthein, a member of the <=€ 9] + 3 Media Commission, said: “ICRT has been an excellent partner to the Olympic Movement for many years in promoting the Olympic Games and the values of the Olympic Movement in Cuba, and we look forward to continuing our work with them in Rio.� ICRT, Cuba’s state broadcaster, has acquired the rights across all broadcast platforms, including free-toair television, subscription television, internet and mobile phone in all languages.

government interference in Nigerian football, and blamed poor administration, corruption and lack of foresight for most of the problems in question. “Though it’s not peculiar to Nigeria alone, these are the major reasons why the same problems keep coming up, and

permanent solutions, well-meaning people must come together and discuss,� he further advised.

NFF house of corruption,Iloh blasts Victor Enyinnaya

F

% ] President of the Nigeria Olympic = %% ƒ3<=„ + ! Dr. Moses Iloh has labeled the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) a house of corruption. “Let’s face the facts; our football is badly managed, it has always been very badly managed. Government and some private entrepreneurs have pumped lots of money into it, but the result does not match the revenue. “In our football, there is too much container

% ! % too much wrangling over choices of coaches, players and sponsors, in short, NFF is house of fraud and corruption,� he declared.. According to him, our teams win not because there is a solid world class preparations and support to propel them to victory. They win because they want to win. The teams won because they are hungry for fame, fortune and their love for the game. The teams he insists lacked adequate preparations and support for major tournaments. The trend has been the same. After all the hue

and cry, a fouled election was held, but the logjam [ can safely say that our

$ ' plant well taken care of (by the government) but no chance to grow. Nigerian resilient spirit has been the key factor despite the obvious inadequacies of the administrators. The veteran sports former administrator informed that by saying that our football is badly managed, he is not trying to slight the present day managers of the game but stating the fact that they lacked all it takes to lead the game right. The trial and error method still persists. They have sadly allowed the issue of who heads the Super Eagles team linger on. It has entered crunchy and dangerous level now. In short, it is like time bomb now. The NFF leadership is unfortunately at the cross road on the issue. Iloh further pointed out that the evidence has been there over the years. Check this out for instance. We put our players in substandard hotels; we have shoddy preparations for championships. Players sometimes show up at camps uninvited and asked to be given jerseys to play. It’s not hidden that wounded players are often left to fend for themselves; we send large contingents @ to help the team but spend

time shopping in cities where the competitions are held. No messiah for the game yet in sight. We are still moving round the vicious circle while billions of naira has been wasted into the pockets of some top few. The game has no improved. The whole ! funds are shared those cheated on the process have not relented in the % %

the other. This one on the saddle is no exception. Nigerians should be wary of what they say on the % 9 ! what now that is why there is all these motion no movement stance, he

posited. The former NFA member recalled that we once, forgot to pack our jerseys for a certain match and had to cut track suits into shorts. Can you beat that? We have been on that road before so it is not as if it is a road not taken. The late Head of State, Sani Abacha put us in a situation where FIFA banned Nigeria and there was weeping and gnashing of teeth until that unfortunate ban was lifted. We do not need what will

6 young ones because this is the God given talent and trade they use to fend for themselves, families and other dependents.

he joy of a new baby coming into the family is what every couple loves to experience but the pains that come with the process is something many parents-to-be are not prepared for.

T

he end of a year means winding down on some things for many people. It also means ditching unprofitable and troublesome relationships for better ones; doing away with an abusive partner and so on. In reality, most relationships get stuck in a rut from time to time. After all, there’s so much going on: finances, kids, pressured jobs, outside stress... Well, life! If actively working on fixing your trouble spots seems like a lot of work, you might wonder: “how can I possibly add one more thing to the list?� It is easier said than done, definitely. But if you’re thinking about making changes in your relationship and you’re not sure where to start, a few tips would help. Just resolve to make your relationship better in the new year. The truth is, the health of your relationship is vital. By doing simple and small things, you can make sure it survives and thrives. And the best part is that you can do all of these things yourself, on your on time. You can start by initiating the change. Though you don’t have the right to change your partner, based on the law of action and reaction, the way you act will have an impact on the way your mate reacts. At any given moment, you

have the power to change the way things are going between the two of you. Do something simple like raise your head and smile when he or she walks in the room. The message you’re sending is “You matter to me.� Something as little as this small gesture can make a big difference. Also learn to use technology to your advantage. Since you likely send texts to friends, co-workers and family throughout the day, why not send one to your mate while you’re at it? It won’t take lots of time to let him or her know you’re looking forward to reuniting that evening. You can improve from leaving notes to each other when you were first dating, and be guaranteed that this will have the same effect or even better. Remember how cared for you felt when you received a note in a surprise place? An unexpected text can have the same result! The two of you really do deserve and need to spend time with each other. Even a little private time that’s inexpensive will do the trick. Simple things like eating pizza by candlelight

ROMANCE TIPS ˜ Take advantage of any time alone together. ˜ Let her sit on your lap. ˜ Go hiking and camp out together in the woods or on a mountain. ˜ Lips were made for kissing. * 2 š # š # cheeks, and collarbones, and hands, and ears. ˜ Kiss her stomach, especially if she is pregnant.

or putting on music and dance is okay. The whole idea is to make this time about the two of you — no talking about problems, money, or kids. To make sure you keep the date, put it on your calendars like you would any other important event. (By the way, showing the kids the idea of MommyDaddy time as an important part of relationships is a great thing to model.) You can underestimate the power of public praise and if need be, private rebuke. Lots of research indicates that offering support for your partner is important. It’s also good to show appreciation. An easy way to do both is to tell someone in earshot of your mate something really positive about your other half. This can be either a trait or something your partner did that impressed you. It will give your partner joy to know you admire him or her. Though schedules are busy and it’s hard to add anything extra on to the list, be mindful of things your partner generally does — and do it instead. This can be really easy: take out the garbage, do an errand, bring home a dessert when you’re at the supermarket anyway. Sometimes, you need a little extra help. Energy, time, and money may stand in the way of getting it but it is achievable. The bottom line is any change starts by being aware that something has to be different. Though change can be hard, taking a small step can truly lead to the wonderful relationship you desire!

Bridal Tips: What men wear to afternoon wedding

A

s a groom almost anything goes these days, if you’re happy with a particular look, that is what you should wear. As a guest, that will depend on the theme of the wedding and where it takes place. The safest option is always a smart business suit but if it is a garden wedding or beach

wedding slacks and a smart shirt is appropriate especially if it is in the hot weather. Our culture also permits being like buba and sokoto, caftans or ‘Jonathan’. These days, there are lots % for men to wear as wedding guests. You might want to stay away from

lace materials so that you don’t look like the groom himself. Just stick to Ankara, Brocade or even good ol’adire. However shorts, sandals and really casual gear is unacceptable. Remember, it is best to be over dressed rather than being underdressed.

NewYear resolutions for your relationship The beginning of a new year usually means people get to set a lot of new goals and make new resolution which they hope to follow throughout the year.

ew Year’s Eve has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It’s a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. Mine are as follows: Spend more time with family and friends and quit smoking Uzom I want to be closer to God. I don’t want to get angry easily again and to make more money - Tiwalade I want to develop a savings culture, give my academics more attention, and become a better friend - Patience

Wish to drop 80 pounds but if I do only 30, I’ll be okay. I also wish to develop a close circle of friends, an inner circle of trust that we can build on each other - Somorin

Actually, I do not believe in ‘’new year resolutions’’! You may never actualise any permanently. All I’ll say is live your life to the fullest but do what you think is right always! ‘’New year resolutions’’ are mere factors of distraction Pelumi I don’t believe in new year new resolutions. These changes are changes one should make at any point in time. The only thing special about new year is the extra smiling faces, excess rice eating, filled dustbins and new new cloths else nothing special about it. A new dawn is more special to me than a new year - Leke

To spend more time with my My only resolution is to learn family and stop procrastination something new. A lot of people - Emeka will make resolutions and then break them immediately One of my resolution this year because they are not resolving is to review my relationship to do anything different.

Well, in my opinion, this is a ridiculous arrangement and you shouldn’t have moved in until he rented a bigger flat. Or, was moving in your idea? The way it sounds, he won’t rent a bigger place or make his daughter sleep on the floor because he is understandably more concerned about her comfort than yours. Besides, where is her real mother? What he is teaching this little girl is just plain sin. He is teaching her by example, that there is nothing sacred about the marital bed. He is teaching her that casually sleeping with multiple people is acceptable. The whole picture he is painting for his little girl amounts to teaching her all the wrong things. I think you should just move out till you both can get a bigger place or you might opt to start sleeping in the living room!

2015 presidential election’ll be inconclusive if ...– Borno Deputy Gov $ Therefore, how can they do that without western education? Without western education they would not have a way to transmit their evil news through the media. They don’t send their message to the media in Arabic but in English. They turn Islam upside down or they read the Quran upside down. What they are reading in Quran is not what the holy book says. Boko Haram was more evil than what they say about western education. You are aware of the bombing and burning of schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan where they killed over 187 students. Therefore, to protect the lives and properties of our citizens, including students, we have to close down the secondary schools and that will also " terrorists elements.

The 2015 general elections will be inclusive if the Federal Government fails to liberate the seized territories from the insurgents. Deputy Governor of Borno State, Alhaji Zanna Mustapha, made the disclosure during an interview with some selected journalists when he insisted that internally displaced persons (IDPs) ought to exercise their franchise at the polls. OWOLABI ADENUSI was there. Excerpts:

W

hy are you here in Yola, the Adamawa State capital today being the Christmas day when you ought to be with your family in Borno State? I am here in Adamawa State to visit our displaced brothers and sisters because of the security challenges that we had in some local government areas of Borno State. These people are now in Adamawa and Gombe states’ IDPs camps. Perhaps, the situation is not too good up till now, because the liberation of the local governments that have been ceased by the insurgents is ongoing but the process has been very slow. Though we know the challenges the security agents are facing, we however expect that the security agents do more than what they are doing so that the people can return to their various houses. If you look at the people spending Christmas in the %' % % are on the roads. It has never happened before. By this time last year, the people were in their homes for both Christmas and the Boxing Day. Unfortunately, these are the same people celebrating this year Christmas and New Year in various IDPs camps. How much have so far been spent by the Borno State government to alleviate the pathetic condition of the IDPs? Borno State has spent all it has; all our allocations have been spent on the displaced persons because we have lost 20 of our 27 local government areas to the insurgents. I was here three months ago to move some of our people to Maiduguri. We have so far moved out 42,000 to Maiduguri. And what we have in Maiduguri today is close to two million IDPs. And the ones in other camps are over 200,000 people, costing the Borno

State government over N657 million every month to sustain. The amount is not part of what we spend on those who are living in various houses. For those living in relatives or friends’ houses it 6 % we have established a free food for all ' %% areas in which IDPs are living so that we give them food. And that one has been on. And by next week we are going to launch the Southern Borno free food programme, so that we will able to reduce the pain of some IDPs who are living with their relatives. During this year’s raining reason almost 90 per cent of our people did not farm. No farm was cultivated; as a result of that I am afraid we might encounter food challenges in a few months’ time. But the state government is doing its best. Apart from the salaries we pay, most of the funds we received through Federal Government allocations are being spent on IDPs. So easy at all. Some of the IDPs are school-age children. What will your government do about their education and future? The schools in Borno State are all closed and have been turned into camps where the IDPs are living. IDPs teachers still ones in the camps. We organise teachers to teach some of the kids in the camps so that they don’t stay idle. In the camps that kind of education is ongoing but the secondary schools are closed. There are insinuations that the 3 . % * government is to get leverage in the coming poll. I don’t understand that kind of leverage? Whether there will be election or not, we must take care of our people as a responsible government. We must pay salaries to the working force; we must repair roads, water and ensure adequate drugs in the hospital. Perhaps, there is no time the Borno State government would not leave up to its responsibilities. We are now living up to our responsibilities as government whether there is election or not. During your last visit here, you advised the Adamawa State governor to recruit vigilantes in order to take example from Borno State. Now, in Adamawa State, at least four of the six local governments previously taken over by Boko Haram militants have been liberated. Why then has the security # # % , Yes, I suggested to the governor to have a civilian joint task force (JTF) in town in conjunction with the hunters and the military which was done. But they were able to move and liberated some of the local government taken over by the insurgents. In our own case we have more of civilian JTF in town and basically you are right that we lost 20 local government areas out † ! [ ' ! six months they have not liberate any

Some IDPs recently protested that they want to vote in the next general elections council. We are worried as well over in their various local government areas. the ugly development. But we were What is you take on this? assured last week that by God grace Supposing it is left in the hands Boko Haram will soon be pushed out of of the Borno State government, we Borno State territories and our people will could have taken over all the captured return to their homes.

And we The Federal Government is responsible are being assured that the equipment for the military and equipment to get the we don’t have in Borno State would right thing done. However, if it in our be sent very soon to liberate all the hands, we would do that.

Perhaps, we as a You will agree with me that western government and the people of the North education is not evil. If you are not East have been assured by Mr. President educated you are not educated. Those that the whole zone would be liberated who are not educated and cannot speak so that these people can go back to their English which is the most acceptable various houses. Presently, if there is no @ Electoral Act amendment, there would be to communicate to people if they travel no election in the camps. You cannot have out of their own areas. But if you are all the elections in the camps.

So, there must be education is evil send some of their news no any election until we liberate all the nation’s territories that are in the hands of Boko Haram militants. And if there are no elections in six local government areas in Adamawa State the result of elections in Adamawa state is going to be inconclusive. Even the senatorial, National Assembly and other elections are going to be inconclusive. So there must be election in all the states of the federation. The constitution says every Nigerian should participate in elections. And every Nigerian who wants to vote should be able to vote once the person is eligible. If all of us did not vote it mean we will not have acceptable results in the country. For us to have free, fair and credible elections and produce credible and generally acceptable president and governors, the government needs to recapture all seized local governments. Therefore, it is in the interest of the government to make sure that all the local government areas in the North East are liberated from Boko Haram; otherwise the results of the elections are going to be unacceptable. So we must have the results of all the elections and all eligible voters must vote with the results counted, and whoever wins must be declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

to produce credible and generally acceptable president and governors, the government needs to recapture all seized local governments. Therefore, it is in the interest of the government to make sure that all the local government areas in the North East are liberated from Boko Haram; otherwise the results of the elections are going to be unacceptable

Mimiko can’t impose his wishes on us – Ondo PDP chair Following court ruling in favour of the hitherto sacked executive of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ondo State, the new chairman of the party, Dr. Olu Ogunye, has resumed duty at the Oyemekun road, Akure, secretariat of the party amid jubilation among scores of members and supporters who trooped out to receive him. The Septuagenarian medical practitioner also ƒ ƒ „ … † ‡ PETER DADA was there for Newswatch Times.

N

ow that you have resumed as the PDP chairman, will this development put an end to the crisis in the party? Is there any crisis? And if there is any in the PDP, it means Governor Olusegun Mimiko refused to obey the rules of the party. The PDP has been there for years and we didn’t have problem but when Mimiko returned, he separated and divided its members. Anyone that creates such crisis in our party is always shown the way out. We are not Labour Party (LP) members where someone would always want only his own wish to stand and command everybody. He was a dictator in his former party but that cannot work in the PDP. You can’t just come to the PDP and lord yourself over us. We have been accommodating him but he should forget that he will take over our party. But he said he returned to the PDP after due consultation with the party leadership; aren’t you aware? Mimiko is a son to me. I know he is a real grassroots politician; I also know how he became the governor, and when he wanted to come back to the PDP I knew about it and I welcomed the idea. But since he came he has been doing things illegally and unconstitutionally in the party and this will not be allowed. We cannot allow him to come to our party and rubbish our constitution; it is impossible. He went to Senator Bode Olajumoke, telling him that he wanted to return to the PDP and he (Olajumoke) asked him why. But Mimiko said the reason he wanted to come back was because the PDP lost in Osun State. So, he is here now to salvage the PDP from the noise of Governor Rauf Aregbesola. Is that not nonsense? Why can’t he join immediately Governor Ayodele Fayose won the Ekiti

State governorship election? We didn’t ask Mimiko to come back to the PDP by duress. He came back freely. He is my boy and political son. We knew when he became the governor and its antecedents. He has to % % more than he can chew. It is expected that his coming to the party would make it stronger ahead of the 2015 general election. Why are things going wrong again? You know clearly that he defected to our party in Abuja, not in Ondo State and wanted to take over its structure. We refused and told him it can’t work because the structures are elected members not appointed. When the Ebenezer Alabi-led executive resigned - there are laid down rules ' ' in the constitution of the party. But Mimiko went ahead doing what he liked, believing he has weight in Abuja. The governor knows what the laws and constitution of the party say. Why is he now pretending as if he doesn’t know? The constitution says that the people to replace the ones that have resigned must come from the same geopolitical zone and the same senatorial district; but look at the people he went to put there which are even out of it. He should know all these. He was advised on this but because he thinks that as the boss and governor he can do $ X $ secretariat here on Oyemekun road that ! $ @ X$ Mimiko went to establish another one, which he is ruling over at Alagbaka road. This is totally wrong and illegal. We also have a way ' but he still went ahead to do illegal ones for his own defected kangaroo members. This man called Mimiko is our problem and he has refused to change. He is called ‘Iroko,’

Ogunye but people forget he is a virus who came to destabilise our party. He came to infect us with a virus. I am sad about this; he has also refused to read and learn more. What is your reaction to the judgment of the Abuja Federal High court that has sacked the Clement Faboyede-led state executive council (exco)? The judgment is the best decision ever pronounced and not only our members were happy about it but the entire citizens of Ondo State. They knew what the governor did was wrong by coming through the back door and wanting to hijack the structure of our party. What the court did was to look at the constitution of this party and gave its ruling in that line. We told them that they were jokers! Let his boys that he calls executives pack their loads and move back to where they belong. Mimiko can’t just come from nowhere and mess us up. He met us here and must ask his members to take turns. 2 % % # 0 š 2% will you do to reconcile with the other faction for peace to reign in your party? We are ready to reconcile with them if they show interest. They are our people and we belong to the same party. But they can’t defect to the party and break our rules. If we are reconciling with them it has to be on the basis of following the rules of the party and having tolerance with the people they met on ground. We are not his lord neither is he our lord. That he is the governor of the state doesn’t mean he is the owner of the party. We are ready for reconciliation; all of us own this party. It does not belong to anybody personally; nobody can come and impose his

since he came he has been doing things illegally and unconstitutionally in the party and this would not be allowed. We cannot allow him to come to our party and rubbish our constitution, it is impossible wish on us. There is this insinuation that the opposition is sponsoring your faction to destabilise the PDP in the state so that they could win the election. What is your take on this? (Cuts...) Which one is the opposition party? Is it not the All Progressives Congress (APC)? My reaction to this is to laugh because when people don’t have things to say they talk nonsense. I don’t know about the APC. I am too big for such and will never engage in such things. $ % 3 % chances of President Goodluck Jonathan to win the election in the state in the forthcoming general election?

We are going to work for him and he shall win handsomely. He will win even without the support of Governor Mimiko whom he thinks would mobilise for him. I can assure you that Jonathan would win landslide in Ondo State; his chances are very bright.

developments in 2014 Continued from Page 14

Speaking about the automotive policy and the giant strides some companies in the sector has recorded, the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investments, Dr. Olusegun Aganaga, said the development in the sector has led to creation of more than 500,000 employments, while many more direct and indirect jobs would be created in the years ahead in the auto subsector of the real sector. Labour sector The year under review witnessed the most scandalous employment racket with the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) where scores of applicants lost their lives during an employment interview conducted by the consultants engaged by NIS to supervise the interview across the country. It would be recalled that about 50 Nigerian applicants lost their lives as President Goodluck Jonathan called on NIS to re-conduct the employment exercise while promising to employ two family members from each of the dead applicant, pay for the treatment of the injured applicants and refund the amount the hired consultants collected from the over 500,000 applicants who vie for the 4,500 openings. The year witness many strike actions by Nigerian workers in almost all the sectors of the economy. The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), the Judiciary Workers Union, the Nigerian Union of Teachers, the Aviation Workers Union and a host of other government employees spend good parts of the year in one industrial disputes after another. Currently, the workers of Nigeria Telecommunication Limited (NITEL), the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) workers were still in protracted industrial dispute with workers. Also, the workers of many government’s privatised enterprises such as Ajaokuta Steel Company, Delta Steel Company and a host of other companies were still in the trenches over many months of unpaid salaries by the private owners of the companies. As at the end of 2014, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), through its President have warned the government not to hike the price of petrol as a result of the crash of crude oil price. NLC during the course of the year, called for the sack of the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, over “ mismanagement of the country’s economy�, which has led to the introduction of austerity measure. While the World Bank say over 70 millions of Nigerians youths were unemployed, the National Bureau of [ ƒ3‡[„ ' millions.

He said that Nigeria will require $2.9 trillion (N460 trillion) in the next 30 years to bridge its huge infrastructure gap. He said the country was well aware of its inadequacies in terms of infrastructure “which is why it has started to address some of them, especially in the areas of power, transport and ICT sector’’. “This master plan is a long term 30-year plan, covering from 2014 to 2043. The 30-year master plan is phased into three 10-year strategic plans, and six 5-year operational plans, the minister explained. Power Intervention Fund The Federal Government announced an intervention fund of N213 billion for private electricity companies in the second quarter of the year 2014. According to the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs Deziani Alison-Madueke, the decision to release the fund was informed by the need to stabilize output at 5,000 mw by the end of the year. She said the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in collaboration with the deposit money banks would provide a total of 3 ™ debts as well as the shortfall in revenue to the sector since the handover of PHCN companies to private companies on November 1, last year. The minister explained that the credit facility would be disbursed through commercial banks and a special purpose vehicle, which would be managed by a dedicated fund manager as the structure would ensure that the funds are repaid in

The news was received with a pinch of salt by majority of Nigerians as it was seen as a political gimmick by Dangote Cement, while economic analysts explained that the tongue in cheek downward review may not translate into relief for the people. Youth Employment in Agriculture Programme (YEAP) The President, Goodluck Jonathan launched the Youth Employment in Agriculture Programme (YEAP) and the Fund for Agricultural Finance in Nigeria (FAFIN). The YEAP is designed to create a new generation of 750,000 young commercial farmers and agribusiness leaders (Nagropreneurs) who will become the CEOs of their own farms and agribusinesses, create jobs in the rural areas and reverse the trend of high rural to urban migration. According to the President, “They will help to change the mindset of the younger generation on agriculture,� He said over 14 million farmers have received their subsidised farm inputs through the e-wallet system, which he described as the backbone of a more modern agricultural sector.

Business & Economy

Averting labour crisis in 2015 Nigeria is one country that is constantly confronted with labour unrest. Precious lives and man-hours are regularly lost to the numerous labour disputes, which the authorities and labour leaders in most cases resolve after labour leaders must have called their members out on strike. JOHNMARK UKOKO reports.

A

s Nigerians rolled out the drums to celebrate the new year, stakeholders in the country’s economy have warned Nigerians that 2015 would witnessed many labour issues, if care is not taken. Various stakeholders who spoke to Newswatch Times are quick to warn that the new year will bring many labour issues, which if not properly handled could bring the country’s economy to its knees. An economy analyst, Dr. Austin Iweze of Citizens Rights Advocacy in an interview with Newswatch Times recently in Lagos warned that as the country prepares for general elections, many labour issues which have been swept under the carpets would be brought to the fore by the labour unions. Iweze said that many labour agreements which the government had freely entered with the labour leaders long time ago have not been implemented, by the same authorities who entered into such agreements. In his words, “ As Nigerians celebrate the new year, we should tell ourselves some basic truths that the year may bring with it many labour issues. There are many agreements which the Federal and the states governments have freely entered with the various labour unions over the years, which sadly the authorities have not been able to honour, for reasons I do not know. As the elections draw nearer, will the workers bodies approach the government to implement such agreements which they have entered over the years. “ It is unfortunate that during the era of oil boom, many agreements the government had with the workers were not implemented. There is no explainable reasons despite the huge revenues that came the way of the country, the authorities could not implements agreements it had entered with workers. Take the case of the universities lecturers as a case study, the government has not been able to implement the agreement it entered with lecturers after six years.” He added that the austerity measures the government had introduced could bring with it many challenges, as the government will expect the masses to forgo many benefits, yet the senior officials of the government still earn their dollars salaries, yet the political class and the senior civil service still live in opulence will bring with its many labour challenges. Dr. Iweze warned that as the government is out to introduce more taxes to shore-up its taxes will meet stiff opposition from the labour and civil societies, who are of the views that the political class has not shown sufficient reasons why the people must embrace the

new tax regime. According to him,” Many Nigerians will not agree with government that they will have to pay more taxes, because the authorities have not led by examples. What does the presidency needs 10 private jets for, when the United Kingdom Prime Minister do not have a single one. The United Kingdom Prime Minister travels on British Airways. The Prime minister do not sit in the first class, he travels on the economy class with very few officials. “ What do we have in Nigeria, a presidency that owns 10 private jets and still wants to buy more. A Nigerian government’s official will travel alone on a private jet, the same goes with their wives or mistresses. Nigeria always have the largest entourage at every international summits, yet the government will expect Nigerians to believe that the country is in austerity measure. “ Our government is fond of preaching one thing and doing the opposite. Anytime you are privilege to attend a party organized by a senior government’s official, you will weep for Nigeria, because of the show of affluence in the mist of massive poverty in the land.” He appealed to the government and the labour leaders to put the interest of the county ahead of selfish gains. The Citizens Rights senior official appealed to government to ensure it entered into agreements its able to implement, as the workers’ leaders could easily call their members out over non implementation of agreements, adding that such action could impact negatively on the country’s economy which is already on its keens. His views is shared by the Director General of Kano Chambers of Commerce and Industry, Alhaji Inua Baba who while exchanging views with Newswatch Times recently on telephone chat appealed to the authorities and the workers unions not to throw the country into needless strike in the new year. Baba said that the past few years have shown that the authorities and the labour unions will not resolve labour issues, unless the workers call out its members out, while the labour leaders have realized that the authorities will not honour agreement, unless the labour down tools for some days. The Kano Chamber of Commerce boss lamented that the country lost too many man hours to labour unrest in 2014 and in the past recent years, adding that each time the workers’ unions call its members out it is the economy that suffer. The Organised Private Sector’ official lamented that the government in the recent years have shown that it is not prepared to implement agreements it had

NLC President, Omar Abdulwaheed

freely entered with the labour, until the workers down tools, adding that each time the workers down tools the damage its does to the economy is massive. According to him, “ I do not understand the reasons our government will not be willing to implement agreements it had freely entered to. Why should our government wait for weeks and in some cases months of workers strike to consider implementing agreement. The same government that for years have refused to implements agreement it had entered with workers will begin to honour such agreements, the moment workers down tools or come out in protests. In some cases the workers will spend weeks or months on strike, which the government will still pay workers in its public sector. The private sector workers do not have such privilege.” He disclosed that the level of workers strikes recorded in 2014 were on the high side, adding that distressed economy like ours do not have the capacity to undergo such labour issues. He called on the government and employees of labour in the private sector to pay adequate attention to the issue of workers warefare, adding that the Nigerian workers were some of the under mined and

under valued workers in the world. Baba also cautioned the workers unions not to call out their members at every disagreement with their employees or the government, adding that the frequency of strikes in the country has made many people to lose respect and support for the labour unions. He added that strikes should be call when all avenues of dialogues have been concluded and yet there is no solution at sight. His views is shared by a senior lecturer at Lagos State Polytechnic Dr. Idowu Adegesan, who predicted that issues that could lead to labour unrest will occur in 2015, due to the recently introduced austerity measure, stressing that government and many employers will use the guise of austerity measure not to meet their obligations to their employees. Adegbesan while exchanging views with Newswatch Times said that the government and employers of labour has to practice what they preach to earn the confidence and respect of the workers. According to him, the government and employers of labour will do well to practice what they preach to avert labour unrest in 2015. A situation where government continue to pay its senior officials with dollars and expect Nigerians who earn battered Naira to sacrifice more, while the government’s top officials swim in affluence will be met with opposition and resistance from the workers. The same appeal apply to the private employers of labour. The workers will know if their management are also experiencing austerity measure to support it. If the management are traveling to abroad on a regular basis, and buying expensive cars, do not expect workers to believe that they have to support austerity measures to conserve funds for their establishments. “ Stakeholders who spoke to Newswatch Times appeal to workers and employers of labour to do all things within their power to reduce the number of strike in 2015. They appealed to the Federal Government to learn to keep to the agreement it had reached with unions and Nigerians alike. Nigerians look forward to the day strikes and lockout will be a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Judiciary Why lawyers must exhibit discipline, integrity – Alli Ayodele Olalere

T

he need for lawyers to be more professional in their duty was recently emphasised at the International Bar Association (IBA) conference held in Tokyo, Japan, by lawyers across the world that converged to brainstorm on the challenges facing the profession. A prominent Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Barrister Yusuf Alli, in his paper delivered at the conference titled, ‘Professional Ethics and Discipline of Lawyers,’ said lawyers must exhibit a high level of integrity and discipline to match the ethics of the profession. Alli added that the law profession does not give room for indiscipline and as such lawyers must be examples of integrity to the public. “The liability of lawyers as professionals is an issue that cannot be overemphasised, considering the ! ' in them by the society. The legal profession is one that seeks to convince the public that professional service is delivered not only by properly # ' but also by persons whose professional standards merit the high degrees of public trustworthiness, which are typically required of professionals. It is therefore not out of place to look into how the ethics of the profession is being upheld and the way and manner erring lawyers are disciplined,� he said. Citing the Nigeria law profession as example, the SAN said it is guided by rules and principles of engagement and professional ethics which demand that anyone who wants to become a lawyer must be ready to abide with. Some of them are the Legal Practitioners Act 1975 (as amended) CAP L10 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004 and the Rules of Professional Conduct 2007. According to him, rule 1 of the Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC) states that “it is the duty of the lawyer to maintain towards the court respectful

him, would indicate how professional and disciplined a lawyer is.

Surveillance Father indicted over son’s death in Ibadan

The recent death of a four-yearold boy in Moniya, Oyo State, has brought the community into limelight. That the biological father of the unfortunate boy is allegedly behind the death makes news very unusual. TUNDE BUSARI reports

O

ne Samuel Peters of Jariya village near Moniya, an Ibadan suburb, is in trouble for allegedly taking the life of his only child named Ochei. The child was a cripple from birth, a condition alleged to have provoked Peters into %% % ! become fed up with the boy. Five weeks after, residents of the village still talk about the incident because it was strange to them. But after Peters had been arrested by the police from the Moniya Divisional Headquarters, the residents preferred to discuss the incident in their private apartments apparently to avoid suspicion. 9 % transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku. Newswatch Times gathered that Ochei died of poison, and

The destabilised elders quickly applied traditional % the poison in Ochei’s system. Soon afterwards, the troubled mother was told to take to the boy to the hospital. He,

however, breathed his last soon after leaving the spot. The husband was said to have remained aloof back home while this was playing out. When he got the news, he showed no emotion expected of a bereaved father. All he said was that he was unaware when and how Ochei, who was inside the house with him was taken away. He said he could not also fathom who could have killed his son. The wife, however, spilled the milk. “My husband was the one who bought the chemical and kept it on the window. There is no way Ochei could have taken it and drank the content. I recollect that my husband used to complain about the condition of Ochei, my son,� she said.

Troubled festival:Community,chief sue Police Emeka Ibemere

T

he just concluded peaceful Inne festival in OgwashiUku, Delta State may have generated crises, as the police have started to quiz custodians of the tradition. Newswatch Times reliably gathered that last year’s new yam festival against this year’s peaceful one was marred with violence that eventually saw

! ' ' $ over the Obiship between the families Obi Felix Ogochukwuka II of Deiyi royal family of Agidiehe quarters and Umu obi Obahai royal family. Despite the Appeal Court ruling in Benin City on the legal tussle over the Obiship of Ogwashi Uku kingdom headquarters of Aniocha-South Local Government Area of Delta State, the communities are yet to have peace. It would be recalled also that the court had declared the Umu obi Obahai royal family as the only family eligible to produce obi of Ogwashi Uku. However, last year’s festival of

% ! altercation between both families

as some kingmakers in the community deferred on who to preside over the festival. This year, the existing tussle between the two families led to the separate observation of the festival by the families and some kingmakers in the community. A kingmaker and community leaders, Nwajei Nwajei was quizzed by the police few days after celebrating this year festival by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for interrogation, but was after the exercise detained on the alleged order of an Assistant Commissioner of Police, Noah Adesoyin on charges of adorning the traditional regalia of Obi. The event later went sour for the Assistant Commissioner, when on the second day he allegedly developed stroke at his detention cell and couldn’t walk again and was thus rushed to the Federal Medical Centre (FMC) Asaba. Consequently, the community and some chiefs dragged the police boss to the Federal High Court of Justice, Asaba Judicial Division; for detaining a traditional Chief on allegation of

celebrating the traditional new yam festival and adorning Obi regalia. Others listed in the suit are the Police Service Commission, Abuja, Inspector General of Police, Abuja and the Delta State Commissioner of Police. Others are Mr. Lawrence Okolobi and Collins Afuwah. In a lawsuit No FHC/ASABA/ C5/60/2014, copy of which was made available to Newswatch Times, Nwajei’s lawyer Andy Onyejose is asking the court to restrain the respondents from re-arresting the applicant and further restraining the other respondents, their agents or servants from presenting themselves as complainants on behalf of the Obi-In-Counsel by employing the services of the fourth respondent against the applicant, pending the determination of the substantive suit before the honourable court. Newswatch Times gathered that there was another case

' sixth on the case before now. The lawyer also stated that the denial by the Assistant Commissioner of police to

allow Nwajei to receive medical treatment while in the police cell was unlawful, unconstitutional and contravened his rights to live as protected and guaranteed by sections 34, 35 and 41 of the Nigerian constitution. The lawyer further asked the court to stop further disturbing, molesting, harassing, arresting and detaining Nwajei for performing his annual Igba Inneh festival without compliance with the due process of the law and order and that Nwajei as a free ‰ %%

% 6 6 of competent jurisdiction is entitled to enjoy his fundamental rights. He also stated that the Nwajei being a traditional Chief in Ogwashi-Uku is entitled to perform his annual Igba Inneh. He said the damages Nwajei was claiming in the sum of N50, 000.000.00, only was a claim jointly and severally against Adesoyin, Okolobi and Afuwah, for being the cost of * 6 3 * to his arrest and incarceration in harmful fumigated police cell at the instance of the Delta State

Gerrard to quit Liverpool L

iverpool captain Steven Gerrard # X

with a heavy heart, describing the decision as the “toughest of my life�. He will leave the club at the end of the season but the 34-year-old has signalled he hopes to return to Liverpool in the future. While planning to continue his career overseas, he made clear it would be with a team that would not bring him into direct competition with Liverpool, which he said was “something I could never contemplate�. The captain, who scored two penalties in Thursday’s 2-2 home draw against Leicester, is said to be in talks with Major League Soccer franchise LA Galaxy and the two New York clubs City and Red Bulls. Gerrard’s decision to quit Liverpool, the only club he has played for in his illustrious professional career, will come as a huge blow to many supporters who were hoping he would stay on. Explaining his decision, Gerrard said: “This has been the toughest decision of my life and one which both me and my family have agonised over for a good deal of time. “I am making the announcement now so that the manager and the team are not distracted by stories or speculation about my future. “Liverpool Football Club has been such a huge part of all our lives for so long and saying goodbye is going @ it’s something that’s in the best interests of all involved, including my family and the club itself. “I’m going to carry on playing and although € %

stage where that will be, I can say it will be somewhere that means I won’t be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool - that is something I could never contemplate. “My decision is completely based on my wish to experience something 6 % and life and I also want to make sure that I have no regrets when my playing career is eventually over.� He added: “It is a very special place to be part of. It is my sincere hope and wish that one day I can return to serve Liverpool again, in whatever capacity best helps the club. &Q % for the people who make Liverpool Football Club the greatest in the world the supporters. “It has been a privilege to represent you, as a player and as captain. I have cherished every second of it and it is my season and my Liverpool career on a high.� Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said: “It is almost an impossi $ to appropriately sum up Steven Gerrard and his importance to Liverpool. “This is an era where the word ‘legend’ is vastly overused, but in his case it actually doesn’t do him justice.� Rodgers added: “As a leader and as a man, he is probably incomparable to anyone I have ever worked with.� The club’s principal owner John W Henry and chairman Tom Werner said in a joint statement: “There is sadness that such a great player and person is leaving and won’t be playing for Liverpool beyond this season.

“But there is also a sense of celebration and gratitude, that we’ve all been privileged to watch and work with one of the true greats, not just of this club, but the game in general.�

Gerrard, who stood down as England skipper after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, joined Liverpool as an eight-yearold and has made 695 appearances for the club and lifted 10 trophies.

W

e must really thank God that we survived 2014, both as individuals and as a nation. The out gone year was a busy one for the nation. There was so much to cry about and some opportunities to rejoice. In my view, three critical issues characterized the year: the continued onslaught by the Boko Haram insurgents and the overall feeling of insecurity it engendered in the nation; the escalation of political activities as Nigeria prepares to go to the pools #

in the price of Nigeria’s main export - crude petroleum - with its destabilization of the nation’s economy. The Federal Government announced a new austerity regime as 2014 closed, signposting a tough year ahead. During the Christmas and New Year celebrations, we all received and sent goodwill messages to our friends, acquaintances and family, and some to our enemies as well. In addition, many of us have made our wish lists or New Year resolutions. I am using this opportunity to make my wish list for our beloved country Nigeria, in 2015. 1. A nation where every citizen can feel safe & secure I wish to see the blood-letting and insecurity in parts of Nigeria cease this year. The primary responsibility of government is to protect the lives and property of its citizens. No individual, group or sect should be allowed to kill Nigerians indiscriminately as we saw in the last years and get away with it, appearing in videos, threatening to kill more. The Federal, State and Local Governments must do everything possible to see that that does not happen this year. To my mind, there is nothing more important than this. The momentum we noticed in the closing weeks of last year, which led to the recovery of occupied territo

completely rout the insurgents. And to achieve that, the State must receive the maximum cooperation and support of all citizens. We will never have enough Police or Military to stand on every inch of Nigeria’s territory. Therefore, we must transform ourselves to civilian security men and women, just as the ‘Civilian JTF’ is doing admirably in parts of the North East. To stand aloof, or worse still, to encourage criminal elements and then turn around to blame the government or make government look weak is counterproductive. What can be more important to any rational human being than life? What is the worth of the lives of all the Nigerians that have been wasted in the last four years?

My wishes for Nigeria in 2015 2. Free, fair and orderly elections To be fair, our electoral processes have been on the upswing after the debacle of 2007. The 2011 elections were adjudged to be the best in recent times. It was a major promise by President Goodluck Jonathan and he largely delivered on it. Since then, except for a few snags here or there, the other elections in the last four years have been adjudged fair to good. The glitches in the Anambra election, though did not invalidate the elections,

in four of them at the pooling booths, not in the courtrooms. Those who have any sense of objectivity must acknowledge the independence of INEC and the visible and measurable improvement on the integrity of our elections. Having said that, it must be pointed out that the stakes in this year’s elections seem higher than ever. Since 1998, we now have two major parties with national appeal and spread. The dominance of PDP in the last 16 years will come under serious challenge this year. Naturally, PDP will do its utmost to retain its dominance and the challenger – APC - will deploy every ‘arsenal’ it can procure to wrestle power from the reigning champion. In this scenario, desperation and self-help may emerge, and could tempt both parties to tamper with the electoral process.

My wish, therefore, is that they will resist such a temptation, both at the Federal and the States. I appeal to the President and the incumbent State Governors to allow INEC total independence and work to protect the integrity of the electoral process. I am pleased that Mr. President has reiterated his promise in this wise and I wish to appeal to him to keep his eyes on all political and administrative functionaries in the electoral chain. As is usual with many Nigerian politicians, some who already know that they will lose the elections have gotten their petitions written of how they were ‘rigged out’ and their thugs prepared to protest (non-violently and violently). If

the elections are made to be free, fair and ordered, the losers will cause minimum damage. But if true winners are denied anywhere, that could be cataclysmic. I wish that INEC would deliver a perfect (or near-perfect) election. There should be no stories and excuses. They have had many years to prepare for this election. They have had many opportunities to hone their processes and strategies, and they have heard and read all the predictions about 2015 in Nigeria. May God grant them grace to deliver a professionally conducted election where electoral materials will arrive all pooling booths early; where elections will start at the appointed time and close at the appointed time; where no one will be allowed to sabotage the process or steal ballot boxes; where all registered ! !

register and where results will not be switched. Let Jega stand up and improve on his 2011 record and avoid - by all means - a repeat of the recent disappointing and poor show in distributing of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) especially in Lagos State. Should we say more? 3. An economically buoyant 2015 Yes, the prognosis are dire: Oil prices may still drop lower; national income will be constrained forcing us to spend over 80% on Recurrent Expenditure at the Federal level, leaving little for capital expenditure; tax rates will spike and new levies introduced to shore up government revenue; austerity measures will be introduced, all portending tightening of belt and increased economic hardship. I still wish that Nigeria would have an economically buoyant 2015. I believe it is possible at individual, corporate, community, state and national levels. At the national, state and community levels, what we need most is to aggressively diversify our income sources, re-prioritize our expenditure and kill corruption. At individual or corporate levels, we need to enthrone multiple streams of income, focus on needs and necessities and avoid wastes. With God’s wisdom, we can have a buoyant year, the presenting challenges notwithstanding. 4. An ordered, law-abiding nation Truly, my greatest wish for Nigeria is to have an ordered and law-abiding nation: A nation where people know the laws and obey them; a nation where those who choose to break the laws are brought to book speedily and shown #

nation, where the law applies equally and our leaders and law makers obey the rules and laws which they make. I wish Nigeria to be a nation where due process is applied in dealing with every issue, a nation where impunity has no place, a nation where no single man will be the accuser, the judge and the enforcer; a nation that will be respected by other nations because we enforce our laws diligently and impartially. God, please give an ordered nation in 2015. Happy New Year, Nigerians!
