Synagogue: Court throws out T.B Joshua, SCOANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prohibition suit Francis Iwuchukwu

J

ustice Lateefa Okunnu of a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, yesterday, threw out an application by the Registered Trustees of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN), alongside its founder, Prophet T.B Joshua, in which they prayed the court to stop the ongoing coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inquest into the collapsed guest house belonging to the church.

The Judge dismissed the application yesterday saying it was premature and

lacksmerit.

A guest house belonging to the church had collapsed on September 12 last year killing about 116 persons, following which Lagos State government instituted a coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inquest.

But the applicants decided to drag the Coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Court and the Coroner, Chief Magistrate Komolafe, before the Lagos High Court seeking judicial review of the proceedings.

6`xz{|zD}}~ }D ~xÂ&#x20AC; Â Â&#x201A; the applicants, Chief Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), had urged the

court to determine whether the witness summons served on Prophet T.b Joshua to appear before the coroner did not constitute an infringement on his right to fair hearing.

The lawyer had also prayed Justice Okunnu to issue a declaration that the coroner exceeded the jurisdiction of a coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s court by delving into areas that were beyond its scope.

The church also accused Chief Magistrate Komolafe of bias and demonstrating a personal interest in the matter.

But counsel to the

respondents, Akinjide Bakare, urged the court to dismiss the application, arguing that the coroner had extensive powers to investigate the cause and circumstances of death and report to the appropriate authorities.

The lawyer argued that in order to determine the cause of death, the coroner has the latitude to summon any witness and investigate issues pertaining to building approval, soil testing and materials used in the construction of the failed building.

Adamawa APC in crisis, Atiku indicted Owolabi Adenusi-Yola

A

head of the forthcoming general elections all is not well with the Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has allegedly distanced himself from the campaign q^pXYzÂ&#x201E;X|zqY[qÂ&#x2039;[|}][Â&#x192;X^|_°Â&#x201E;[Ă&#x20AC;Xp[ bearer, Senator Bindow Jibrila.

Newswatch Times gathered that majority of the members of |}][ |X|][ q^Â&#x152;zYp[ qxxz2]][ (SWC) of the party are on the pay roll of Abubakar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recently the party was given N30 million by the former Vice President and nothing was given to the candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign organisation,â&#x20AC;? a source added.

The development has given credence to the suspicion of a cold war between Abubakar and Nyakoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters.

It was also learnt that most

of Abubakarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supporters have refused to follow the campaign train of Bindow.

However, Bindow has assured his supporters that he can single-handedly bankrolled his campaign, thereby dismissing an allegation that his campaign organisation is broke.

The party said that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have fund like Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which believe it can buy the electorate.

A chieftain of the party, who zÂ&#x201E;[ X{Â&#x201E;q[ X[ Â&#x192;Â&#x2026;\{zÂ&#x160;z|_[ qŠÂ&#x160;zX{[ qÂ&#x2039;[ the campaign organisation, Alhaji Uba Dan Arewa, spoke to reporters on the speculation that Bindow campaign organisation is broke.

He said the story is falsehood being perpetrated by the opposition party.

Dan Arewa said some people, uncomfortable with the growing popularity of APC candidate in the state, were out

to create confusion by peddling lies to create friction between Bindow and Abubakar.

Dan Arewa said the campaign team has enough fund to continue its campaign next Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Adamawa it is clear that the people at the grass roots are with APC and have not been demanding money from the party during the campaign as is the case with other parties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wherever we went during our campaign, the APC x]x\]^Â&#x201E;[zY[|}X|[X^]X[q^pXYzÂś]Z[ things without collecting anything from the campaign q^pXYzÂśX|zqY` â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people believe in APC movement as their own and have been contributing in their {z2{][ÂŁX_Â&#x201E;[Â&#x2039;q^[z|Â&#x201E;[Â&#x160;XxÂ&#x192;XzpY` â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also receive support from well wishers from outside the state, particularly from friends of our former Governor, Murtala Nyako.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;APC is the party to beat and our candidates, particularly Buhari and Sen Bindo Jibrilla are house hold name in Adamawa,â&#x20AC;? Dan Arewa said.

According to him, Abubakar and Bindow are in good relationship, adding that some of Abubakar supporters are only trying to prevent people from reaching him â&#x20AC;&#x153;based on |}]z^[Â&#x201E;]{Â&#x201A;Â&#x201E;}[zY|]^]Â&#x201E;|`Â?

He explained that after Bindow was declared the winner of the party primaries |}][ Â&#x201A;^Â&#x201E;|[ Â&#x192;{XÂ&#x160;][ }][ ÂŞzÂ&#x201E;z|]Z[ ÂŁXÂ&#x201E;[ Mijinyawa Yayaji residence of Abubakarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s candidate at the primaries.

According to him Yayaji was not at home when Bindow visited him, but his wife informed him on phone. He then promised to also visit Bindow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But up till now, he is yet to meet Bindow, neither has he joined our campaign team,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address me as Executive Governor - Ngilari Owolabi Adenusi-Yola

G

overnor Bala James Ngilari of Adamawa has described as wrong and unconstitutional the use of the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Executiveâ&#x20AC;? in addressing state governors.

Ngilari, who is a lawyer, said there was nothing like executive governor in the

nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitution, saying the use is suggestive of sycophancy.

Ngilari stated this yesterday during a meeting with journalists and media executives in the state at Government House Yola. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is not correct to say executive governor.

I

repeatedly say it before and will always say it that there is nothing like executive governor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Constitution creates the qŠÂ&#x160;][ qÂ&#x2039;[ |}][ pqÂŞ]^Yq^[ qÂ&#x2039;[ the state and not executive governor,â&#x20AC;?

media to his administration and urged them to sustain |}][|]xÂ&#x192;q[XYZ[Â&#x160;^z|zÂ&#x160;zÂś][ÂŁ}]^][ necessary to sit him up.

Ngilari said any leader that insisted on hearing only positive things about him and his administration would end up being deceived by sycophants.

this initiative is necessary in view of the experience of insurgency in parts of the continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Earlier, Rev. Fr. Cornelius Omonokhua, of the Catholic Secretariat Chapel, in his welcome address, lauded the idea of religious leaders from across West Africa forming a synergy on religious tolerance.

He said that the dialogue, tagged ``Religious Extremism and its Challenges in West Africaâ&#x20AC;?, was necessary to address the decline in human dignity as perpetuated by some religious extremists. ``The coming together of the countries of West Africa to discuss the common concerns of interreligious dialogue is imperative now more than ever before. ``Our region is witnessing a serious decline in the sense of human dignity because of the spate at which some people take human lives due to religious extremism.

Politics

Road to 2015 polls

Nggilari’ll not betray PDP – Elisha Governor Bala James Nggilari of Adamawa State is a senatorial candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Northern Senatorial district of the state in the forthcoming polls. In this interview in which the governor spoke through his Director of Public Affairs, Mr. P.P. Elisha, he made a shocking revelation that President Goodluck Jonathan was not aware of his gubernatorial ambition in last year’s primary election of the party that produced Malam Nuhu @*CQ<> Q= +5% UQV C%Q&%& of the party. He denied that President Jonathan endorsed his candidature.

He, however, promised to work for the victory of the President and Malam Ribadu and others towards the polls. In this interview with OWOLABI ADENUSI, Nggilari debunked rumours that the presidency is plotting his removal in order to install the Speaker of the state assembly as the party’s leader in the state. Excerpts:

W

hat is your take on the advertorial in one of the national dailies by Governor James Nggilari supporters that President Jonathan truncated the governor’s ambition?

The man, Bala Rabo Jadan, who made the advertorial on behalf of a certain political group is a faceless person as far as we are concerned. The governor has not come across such a person throughout his political life and everything he said in his write up is a lie from the pit of hell. We believe the advertorial was planted by the governor’s antagonists who want to dent his image before the presidency.

The fact of the matter remains that President Jonathan has been very supportive of Governor Nggilari and his administration. We tend to believe that the man that placed the advertorial did it with evil intention, aiming to put a wall of hate between Nggilari and the President. It’s sad that the writer, out of his myopic thinking, D x x3 ` }{ {z{ x x `{} { D x embarked upon by Nggilari when he was a deputy governor as a sort of political endorsement by Mr. President. Honestly, Nggilari was not the only governor that accompanied President Jonathan to the holy land. Can we then say that the President endorsed all the Christian governors that were on the trip? Also, we want the whole world to know that Governor Nggilari is committed to delivering Mr. President and all other PDP candidates in the forthcoming general elections. Let those behind the advertorial know too that no amount of blackmail will stop Nggilari’s mission to deliver his party.

In a few weeks, there will be general

Elisha

I have just mentioned how Nggilari ditched former Governor Nyako when he defected to the APC. Nggilari who was Nyako’s deputy objected to joining Nyako in the APC because of the mandate given to him by the PDP elections. How prepared is the governor?

In my own understanding and to the best of my knowledge, Governor Nggilari is fully prepared to face the upcoming polls; he is fully committed to PDP’s victory. As a party man, he has already assembled all the party political generals ahead of the forthcoming polls. Nggilari is a party man to the core and will not trade the political fortune of his party. I recall when his former boss, Governor Murtala Nyako defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nggilari declined to join him on the ground that the mandate he has is for the PDP and will not betray the party that brought him to power.

Before the shifting of the elections’ timetable, preparation had been on in the state, { D x D }}~ { x {|x { the course of the party. As the party state leader, he has set up of a strong committee for the party; it is headed by Chief Felix Tangwami, assisted by the state’s deputy party chairman, Alhaji Jingi Rufai, while the secretary is a respected steward of the PDP in the state, Ahmed Ismaila. The committee { D x ` DE}x | x { x D x political landscape. For instance, the former director general of Nuhu Ribadu campaign organisation, Kelvin Peter, collapsed

his campaign organization structure for this committee in which he now serves as a member. The governor has already assembled this committee and he is doing what is humanly possible to ensure victory for the PDP. He is the state’s coordinator of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign organisation. Nggilari is mobilising for all the PDP candidates.

But why the insinuations that Nggilari is working for the victory of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) gubernatorial candidate, Engr. Markus Gundiri?

Honestly, this is an irresponsible statement; it’s a campaign of calumny to distract the attention of the governor from pursuing the goal of the PDP. I have just mentioned how Nggilari ditched former Governor Nyako when he defected to the APC. Nggilari who was Nyako’s deputy objected to joining Nyako in the APC because of the mandate given to him by the PDP. Now the same man is the chief executive of the state and also coordinator of the President’s campaign organisation. As a senatorial candidate of the PDP for the Northern district, how on earth can he turn around to pull down the party that gave him the senatorial ticket?

The speculation going round the state is x { x DE}x x ~{ x { x are just saying it for fun; it is their own imagination.

The deputy to Nggilari recently received the presidential candidate of the APC at the Yola International Airport. Some said he was sent by the governor to seal the political arrangement between the governor and presidential candidate of the APC. How true is this?

Governor Nggilari did not send his deputy to receive General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) at the Yola International Airport; Nggilari did not delegate his deputy to represent him at the Airport to receive Buhari, neither does he have any political arrangement with the APC or its presidential candidate. President Jonathan is the presidential candidate of Governor Nggilari. When Buhari visited the state for campaign, the Deputy Governor only received him at the airport as the former military Head of State and elder statesman.

The issue that the governor sent his deputy is far from the truth because the governor was D D~ /z{D} x D x x { $E D {}x the deputy governor in his own wisdom decided to receive Buhari as a person. What I am saying is that the deputy governor did not stand in for the governor. Obviously, the APC rally took up at the Ribadu Square and the Deputy Governor was not there with Buhari.

Anyway, the reception given to Buhari by the deputy governor may have been for his recognition as former Head of State and elder statesman. We had similar experiences

in the state before when President Jonathan was accorded the same treatment by former Governor Nyako who was then in the APC. Nobody read meaning to it that Nyako wanted to retrace his step back to the PDP. The deputy governor, Saad Tahir, received Buhari at the airport and accompanied him to the Lamido’s Palace but did not go with him to attend political activities. When President Jonathan came, the then Governor Nyako who was in the APC received him but did not join him at the PDP rally. Nobody can claim that the deputy governor was with Buhari at the APC presidential rally.

As a spokesman to Governor Nggilari, the deputy governor’s trip to the airport was D /z{D} x D { z } Ex D{ that he represented his boss. If that has been the particular case the governor would have been there or sent a goodwill message to welcome Buhari. So I repeat that the deputy governor was at the airport on personal note to welcome General Buhari. You can approach him as a journalist to question him on why he visited Buhari at the Yola International Airport; he will have his answer but Nggilari could not have done that because he is not supporting Buhari.

Nggilari’s administration will be one of the shortest in the history of the state. What is he likely to be remembered for?

Well, he will be remembered for the way and manner he tackled the insurgency’s rampage in the state. The governor provided a level-playing ground for the military and other security agents who included the vigilantes and local hunters to operate x3xz { x}~ 7 x x xz { ~ D x D}}{x x {}{ D ~ D x x insurgents out of the state. It was his initiative that brought the vigilante and local hunters on board. Nggilari dedicated his time and x zx D 3 x D D x{ x { local government at Madagali; he personally took the case to Mr. President for assistance in addressing the spread of Boko Haram and Mr. President, being a listening person, took decisive steps. However, the speed with which Boko Haram captured Gombi, Hong, Michika, Maiha, Madagali, Mubi North and South local government areas of the state was alarming, but a faster speed was taken by the soldiers to push them out of the areas after the governor visited the President for assistance. As I am speaking to you, the military is already in the secretariat of the last local government to liberate them from the insurgents. We should not forget that the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) is a sort of burden to the governor because he is one of them.

The governor also pays attention to the displaced persons at their various camps. +{ | /z{D} x D x x D { { { to the IDPs’ camps of Damare and others.

Following up to the governor’s visit, the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), & {x 6 D3 D x x x functionaries paid similar visits. Presently, censors were carried on the IDPs in private’s homes in the state capital and it was discovered that over 170,000 IDPs stayed with their relatives. The governor set up a powerful committee headed by the SSG in which all the state ministries have members with responsibility to provide meals for the IDPs, in addition to the provision of water, health and educational and sports facilities to make life more comfortable for them at their various camps.

The Borno State government sent to the state over 10 buses to convey its people at the IDPs’ camp back home. Unfortunately, the same IDPs ran back to the Yola camp on the ground that they were being fed well and better here when compared with what obtains in their state of origin. Nggilari not only drew the attention of the Federal Government to the plight of the IDPs, he also drew the attention of international donors (NGOs) to the state. With the help of an international committee, Nggilari was able Continued on Page 53

eyoncĂŠ Giselle Knowles-Carter, born September 4, 1981, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. She was born and raised in Houston, Texas, and performed in various singing and dancing competitions as a child, and rose to fame in the late 1990s as lead singer of R&B girl-group, Destinyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Child.

Managed by her father, Mathew Knowles, the group became one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-selling girl groups of all time. Their hiatus saw the release of BeyoncĂŠâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut album, Dangerously in Love (2003), which established her as a solo artist worldwide. It sold 11 million copies, earned five Grammy Awards and featured the Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Crazy in Loveâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baby Boyâ&#x20AC;?.

Following the disbandment of Destinyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Child in June 2005, she released her second solo album, Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Day (2006), which contained hits DĂŠjĂ Vu, Irreplaceable, and Beautiful Liar. BeyoncĂŠ also ventured into acting with a Golden Globe-nominated performance in Dreamgirls (2006), and starring roles in The Pink Panther (2006) and Obsessed (2009). Her marriage to rapper Jay-Z and portrayal of Etta James in Cadillac Records (2008) influenced her third album, I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008), which saw the birth of her alter-ego Sasha Fierce and earned a recordsetting six Grammy Awards in 2010, including Song of the Year for Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)â&#x20AC;?. BeyoncĂŠ took a hiatus from music in 2010 and took over management of her career; her fourth album (2011) was subsequently mellower in tone, exploring 1970s funk, 1980s pop and 1990s soul. Her critically acclaimed fifth studio album, BeyoncĂŠ (2013), was distinguished from previous releases by its experimental production and exploration of darker themes. On April 4, 2008, BeyoncĂŠ and Jay-Z were married without publicity.

A self-described â&#x20AC;&#x153;modern-day feministâ&#x20AC;?, Beyonce creates songs that are often characterized by themes of love, relationships and monogamy as well as female sexuality and empowerment.

On stage, her dynamic, highly choreographed performances have led to critics hailing her as one of the best entertainers in contemporary popular music. Throughout a career spanning 18 years, she has sold over 75 million records as a solo artist, and a further 60 million with Destinyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Child, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. She has won 20 Grammy Awards, and is the most nominated woman in the awardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

The Recording Industry Association of America recognised her as the Top Certified Artist in America during the 2000s decade.

In 2009, Billboard named her the Top Radio Songs Artist of the Decade, the Top Female Artist of the 2000s and their Artist of the Millennium in 2011. Time listed her among the 100 most influential people in the world in 2013 and 2014.

ew years after their infamous break-up, Saidi was rumoured to have re-married to a Lagos-based woman while Faithia foused on her career. Though the ex-lovers have moved on with their lives, one thing that continues to bind them together - their date of birth. Saidi and Faithia may have been separated, but they still share the same birthdays.

Saidi and Faithia turned a year older on Thursday, 12th February, 2015 and they were said to have both marked the day with their friends and family at separate locations. We also gathered that duo exchanged happy birthday wishes through text messages.

ovelist and d award winning author, Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, is a study in fashion odyssey. She might be resident in America, but the Anambra State-born writer is not the type that loses touch with home.

Fashion watchers will agree that she is chick both in western wears and Africanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. In fact, she is more amazingly chick when she steps out in African attire, sometimes with a head gear to match. And check her out when she makes African beads into head gear or neck adornment.

An epitome of humility, Chimamanda has no airs around her. Despite her literary fame, she remains a fashion role model, a typical African lady.

What/who is a Bridesmaid? n the traditional wedding ceremony, the bride is usually attended by young ladies of marriageable age. These attendants are referred to as Bridesmaids. The chief, or lead, bridesmaid is called the Maid-of-Honour if she is unwed and the Matron-of-Honour if she is married. Younger girls who are obviously too young to be married may also be included, and are called Junior Bridesmaids.

Why was I asked to participate and what is my role?

The Bridesmaid tradition is thought to have originated in Bible times during the ceremonies of Jacob, Leah and Rachel. Each of these sisters brought their own attendants or servants to the wedding, and these were to serve from that point forward as their personal handmaidens. Another popular thought in the West attributes the bridesmaid tradition to an ancient Roman law, which required that there be at least ten witnesses at a wedding in order to outsmart any evil spirits in attendance. It was believed that the attendants, by dressing in identical clothing to the bride and groom, would confuse the spirits so that they would not know who to curse.

Basically the Bridesmaid is someone who is dear to the couple, and she is called upon to offer emotional support on perhaps the biggest day of a young ladyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. Other duties may include doing things like helping the bride choose her bridal ensemble, addressing envelopes, hosting the bridal shower or bachelorette party and standing up with her on the wedding day.

Special honour may be given to the Maid or Matron of Honour before and during the service. She may be asked to help the bride dress, hold her flowers during the ceremony, assist her with her veil during the ceremony or arrange her train once she is at the altar. Most Maids or Matrons of Honour are also asked to serve as a witness by signing the marriage license and holding the groomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding band. In addition, she and the Best Man will probably be asked to propose a toast during a formal reception. The Junior-Bridesmaid is only expected to show up to the wedding and look adorable.

What will my costs include?

There was a time when the brideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family covered all or most of the wedding expenses. This is still the case in some cultures. However, most modern day bridesmaids are expected to cover their own expenses. These costs might include any or all of the following. â&#x20AC;˘ Bridesmaid Ensemble. This includes your shoes, dress and jewellery.

Most brides cover the cost of their bridesmaidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flowers. â&#x20AC;˘ Travel Expenses. This would include your travel to and from the wedding location as well as your accommodations once you have arrived. â&#x20AC;˘ Bridal Shower. Together with the other maids, most bridesmaids choose to host either a bridal party, tea or shower in honour of their bride.

Use this information to make an informed decision. Should you decide to be a bridesmaid, make sure you are an asset to the party as this is a very exciting yet stressful time in your friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life.

Do your best to meet deadlines, plan ahead for known expenses, have your fittings done when asked, make sure you have the agreed upon shoes and jewellery, and get a fresh and pretty hairstyle for the big day. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can afford to be a bridesmaid, be honest and let your bride-tobe know as soon as possible. If you cannot serve, make a point to offer your assistance in some other way and be sure to come and support your friend on her big day. Have fun!

fe owerri is a tasty Nigerian soup which is native to the Igbo from Imo State, South-eastern Nigeria, especially those from Owerri, the state capital. Ofe Owerri means Owerri soup. And just as any Nigerian soup, you can use any type of fish, beef or assorted meat you choose and still get wonderful results.

Before cooking Ofe Owerri, you have to decide on the vegetable combination you want to use depending on the availability. The normal combination is either Ugu and Uziza, Okazi and Uziza or Oha and Uziza. These vegetables have various health benefits and if you notice, whatever combination you settle for must include Uziza leaves.

This tends to add flavor to the soup due to its aromatic compounds, but is to be used sparingly.

Also, the thickener used for this soup is cocoyam, not the average cocoyam thickener known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ede ofeâ&#x20AC;? that draws when added to soups, but the type known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red cocoyamâ&#x20AC;?, eaten just the way boiled yam is eaten. Check out how it is prepared.

â&#x20AC;˘ A handful Ukazi â&#x20AC;˘ 7 Uziza leaves â&#x20AC;˘ 600g red beef: goat meat is usually perfect for this soup â&#x20AC;˘ 1 medium sized Stock fish â&#x20AC;&#x153;okporokoâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;˘ 1 medium Smoked fish or dry fish â&#x20AC;˘ 2 tbsp. dry pepper or 2 fresh pepper â&#x20AC;˘ 2 cooking spoons palm oil â&#x20AC;˘ 3 small sized red cocoyam â&#x20AC;˘ 1 cooking spoon Cray fish â&#x20AC;˘ 1 cooking spoon Periwinkles â&#x20AC;&#x153;Isamâ&#x20AC;? (Optional) â&#x20AC;˘ 3 seasoning cubes

â&#x20AC;˘ Salt to taste â&#x20AC;˘ Water

Step 1: Wash the okazi and uziza leaves with clean water, slice thinly and set aside For this soup,, I used the cocoyam thatt is usually eaten raw with h oil known as the red cocoyam and not Ede ofe, the type used to thicken oha soup. Wash and place the cocoyam with the skin still intact in a small pot. Add clean water and boil for about 10 minutes. Once the yam is cooked, the skin can easily be removed with bare hands though this is best done while the cocoyam is still hot. Place the peeled cocoyam in a mortar and pound with a pestle.

Once the cocoyam looks smooth, set aside.

Wash the beef with clean water and place in the pot. Soak the stock fish â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okporokoâ&#x20AC;? in hot water for about 10 minutes. This helps soften it as well as get rid of whatever might be living within.

Rinse thoroughly with clean water and place in the pot. Rinse the dry fish and place in the pot.

Add the seasoning, pepper, salt to

taste and just enough water to cover the content of the pot.

Cover the pot and cook for about 30 minutes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using fresh pepper, you can add it â&#x20AC;&#x153;wholeâ&#x20AC;? as shown in the picture and remove once the meat is cooked.

Add the cocoyam and stir, leave to cook and thicken for about 10 minutes. Add the palm oil and crayfish and leave to cook further Gently add the periwinkles, sliced uziza and okazi leaves and leave to cook for 10 minutes.

Turn off the burner and serve with your favorite â&#x20AC;&#x153;swallowâ&#x20AC;?. This soup is traditionally served with akpu.

Narrow the search Most cake designers showcase confections they’ve created on their websites; you can also get an idea of whether you’ll like their work from a phone conversation. Ask how |}]_[£q {Z[Z] Y][|}]z^[ |_{]`[ [z|[|^XZz|zqYX{~[ simply elegant, modern, whimsical or intricate? Don’t forget to ask for an estimated price range per guest. Then, “Interview two to three bakers,” advised Ron Ben-Israel of Ron Ben-Israel Cakes in New York, NY, and star of the Food Network’s “Sweet Genius.”

In your initial meeting, look through a portfolio of the cake designer’s work, and double-check that the details you know you £XY|~[ X_[zY|^z X|][ pX^[Àq£]^ ~[X^][ X^|[q [ his or her body of work. If not, does he show

versatility and an experimental spirit? Does she have the resources and background to do what want? Some small bakeries may not have the manpower or know-how to create the grand, geometrical structures in which others specialise.

The major deciding factor? “A good personal connection is very important” says BenIsrael. “You must be able to trust the person.”

The ideal cake designer is someone whose personality sets you at ease and with whom you communicate well.

3. Keep talking After you’ve booked your cake designer, you will begin to create the cake. Share with your pro photos of cakes from magazines that have caught your eye.

Castillo. “Others, like white chocolate with raspberry, are year-round favouries.”

Price will be based on the size of the cake, the amount of labour needed to create it and the cost of its ingredients. More experienced or reputable pros are usually pricier.

4. Put it in writing To ensure you get exactly what you want, check that all the details, including the date, place and time of the wedding, plus the style XYZ[ÀXªq ^ [q [|}][ X ]~[X^][zY[_q ^[ qY|^X |[ with the designer.

“Brides and grooms are no longer afraid of colour on cakes. Apple green, orange, hot pink and deep, orangey browns are popular choices.

“Monograms are very much in vogue.

Monogrammed tiles made of sugar can be applied to the top or sides of the cake.

Personalisation is also popular.” Narcisa Vieira-Castillo explained.

Is long distance relationship a sure avenue for cheating?

Long distances can heighten emotionality making it easy to make irrational or spur-of-the-moment decisions. Is it therefore, possible to be in a long distance relationship without cheating on your partner?

AMINA BRAI OMOIKE found out.

C

ontrary to popular opinion, some men have self control. I was involved in a long distance relationship for over seven years, and I didn’t cheat on her - Quinton It shouldn’t be, but most men are always scared. I am in a long-distance relationship. I am not worried about him cheating. Instead, he is the one killing himself. If he calls and I don’t

pick up or he calls and it is on call waiting; it is a big problem. Whenever he visits and I am not ready to get down, he suspects I am seeing someone. He goes through my phone like one million times, and wants to know who called at all time – Chisom I’m also in a long distance relationship and I’m striving to go and visit my

girl in Ibadan. I’m not cheating on her though – Abimbola Let us not deceive ourselves. As long as a man has tasted sex, long distance relationship isn’t for him – Paul The day I travel is the day I’ll stop trusting my partner, especially if she’s beautiful because I’m sure other guys must be disturbing her, and she will eventually succumb for the trickiest or most handsome guy. I don’t blame any guy for feeling insecure, especially when his girlfriend is not picking his calls. She might be cheating – Prince That a person can’t do a thing doesn’t mean someone else cannot.

here is hardly any fake product that is not either faked or has its quality sub-standard when compared with the original. From the pharmaceutical to textile, beverage, ceramics, electrical and electronics, book publishing, music and even Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast rising home video industry, the greatest fear nursed by genuine investors remains how best to recoup their investments and remain in business amid challenges of infrastructure and the untrammelled zYĂ&#x20AC;Â&#x2026;ÂŽ[qÂ&#x2039;[Â&#x2039;XÂ&#x152;][pqqZÂ&#x201E;~[Â&#x160;qÂ&#x2026;Y|]^Â&#x2039;]z|zYp[XYZ[ piracy in the country.

An estimated N15 billion is also believed to be lost annually to fake or counterfeit goods in terms of tax revenue to government, income to local manufacturers and employment generation to Nigerians.

In fact, it is a tragedy to report that in Nigeria, for every fast selling genuine product circulating, counterfeiters would either pirate or produce something similar without regard for Â&#x201E;|XYZX^ZÂ&#x201E;[XYZ[Â&#x201E;Â&#x192;]Â&#x160;zÂ&#x201A;Â&#x160;X|zqYÂ&#x201E;` Counterfeiting destroys creativity, XÂ&#x160;|Â&#x201E;[XÂ&#x201E;[X[\XY][|q[|}][]<q^|Â&#x201E;[qÂ&#x2039;[p]YÂ&#x2026;zY][ manufacturers, discourages investments and entrepreneurship as it renders their goods non-competitive, but more worrisome is the fact that sub-standard goods are inimical to the health of citizens.

However, his joy was short-lived when he woke up the following day to discover that he had lost his sight.

Not losing hope on reviving his lost sight, he took to the advice of the opticians at the hospital to seek medications elsewhere, this time at the General Hospital, Calabar, where it <4J2:0598^?62=`4=2`>J2_?M=2:085?42<4J2 damaged beyond repair, and may spread to the right eye.

Bothered and worn out by the serious challenge and the fear of losing the second sight, Chijioke did not relent in

When you eat is just as important as what you eat. Did you ever notice how you feel sluggish after a big lunch or dinner? That is because your body is using its energy to digest that big meal instead of powering the rest of your body. The easiest way to avoid the post-meal coma is to eat smaller-portioned meals throughout the day.

This will keep your body fuelled regularly and can help you lose weight.

Avoid processed food Fries might be comforting while you are eating them, but all those grease and processed food do nothing more than prevent hunger. Processed foods such as canned foods high in sodium, candy, most packaged foods, boxed meals and pre-cooked meat is typically full of unwanted chemicals, preservatives, sodium, and other compounds that can slow you down.

Eat fresh foods The fresher your food is, the more nutrients it will contain. Unlike processed foods that are stripped of nutrients for a higher shelf life, fresh foods contain maximum nutrients and are the easiest for your body to digest. Eating in-season fruits and vegetables ensure that they ripened in the earth, not the back of a truck.

F

or the umpteenth time, the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, has again challenged Governor Babatunde Fashola to present the receipt of the tax allegedly paid on his business premises.

Agbaje, who last week denied paying N500,000 tax as erroneously claimed by the governor, said neither he nor his pharmaceutical company paid any â&#x20AC;&#x153;makeupâ&#x20AC;? tax.

Fashola had recently alleged that despite contesting the announcement the governor

made on January 27, the PDP governorship candidate had paid N500,000 of the total sum of N1.6 million reportedly owed from the backlog of three yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Land Use Charge tax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good enough, Governor Fashola is a lawyer; so he knows the maxim that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;he that alleges must prove.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So, I challenge the governor to show Lagosians the receipt issued to either me or JayKay Pharmacy Â&#x2020;{Â&#x2026;zx )xEÂ&#x20AC;Â&#x160;DÂ&#x20AC;~" :Â&#x2030;xÂ&#x2026; Â&#x2030;x  Â&#x201A;}Â&#x2021; Â&#x2030;{Â&#x2020; |Â&#x20AC;Â&#x2020; }{x ÂĽ Agbaje said in a statement by his director of publicity, Felix Oboagwina.

According to Agbaje, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it is basic law, civil, contract, criminal, that an individual is Â&#x2021;{3xÂ&#x20AC;xÂ&#x2026;Â Â&#x2039;Â&#x20AC;Â&#x201A;Â&#x152; DÂ&#x2026;~ zÂ&#x201A;Â&#x20AC;`Â&#x201A;Â&#x20AC;DÂ x EÂ&#x201A;Â&#x2021;~ DÂ&#x2026;Â&#x2021; Â&#x201A;Â&#x2026;x zDÂ&#x2026;Â&#x2026;Â&#x201A;Â ExÂ&#x2026;x|Â Â&#x2039;Â&#x20AC;Â&#x201A;Â&#x152; Â&#x201A;Â&#x20AC; Â&#x2020;Â&#x160;3xÂ&#x20AC; Â&#x2039;Â&#x201A;Â&#x20AC; Â&#x2030;DÂ Â Â&#x2030;x other has done,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I shall

continue to wonder why a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) would insist on roping me in on what a company has purportedly done, even though he knows quite well what the law says.â&#x20AC;?

Agbaje insisted that JayKay Pharmacy owed the government no land use charges.

It had noticed a matter of overbilling, written a protest letter to the Lagos State authorities, and was waiting for governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response to the matter, while `D~{Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6; DÂ&#x2030;xDÂ&#x2021;  Â&#x201A; Â&#x201A;3Â&#x2020;x zÂ&#x2030;DÂ&#x20AC;Â&#x2C6;xÂ&#x2020; Â&#x2021;Â&#x160;x  Â&#x201A;  Â&#x2030;x computed value on the said property.

Agbaje was responding to what his camp regarded as the latest in the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign of calumny and mudslinging against him.

Road to 2015 polls

General election: PDP, APC in battle to capture Ondo Peter Dada, AKURE

F

ew days to the postponed general election in the country, the political activities like in any other states across the country, continue to permeate the atmosphere in Ondo state.

Though, the governorship election is not coming up in the “Sunshine State,” but other categories will be held, that is, the Presidential, National and State Assembly elections while major political parties remain the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, some candidates for the election did not contest under the platform of the two major political parties, rather in the lesser parties. This gave the parties like: Social Democratic Party (SDP), Accord Party (AP), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) and National Conscience Party (NCP), opportunity of having their flags raised in the state.

But, it is crystal that the PDP and APC dominate the political scenes for their popularity and viability. The PDP which comprises the old PDP and the defected Labour Party controls the government machineries while the APC forms strong opposition, though until recently couldn’t be regarded as a strong one because after the October 20, 2012, gubernatorial election won by Governor Olusegun Mimiko, the party allegedly went under and nothing much was being heard from it. Revival however came its way after its congress last year when the former PDP Chieftain and former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Mr. Isaac Kekemeke took over its leadership as chairman.

Kekemeke has been able to do some attractive adjustment in the party, mobilizing from the grassroots and creating improved awareness among the people, thereby becoming a pain in the neck the PDP government through criticisms in the media virtually on daily basis.

The popularity of the party was also boosted by the emergence of former military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo as its Presidential and Vice

Jonathan

Buhari

Mimiko Presidential candidates respectively such that when the people in the state talk of Buhari, they also talk of APC. In the same vein, the defection of some aggrieved PDP and LP members like the former Speakers of the State Assembly, Victor Olabimtan and Taofeek Abdusalam, member of the Federal House of Representatives, Hon Gani Dauda representing Akoko Northeast/west Federal constituency, brother to former governor Olusegun Agagu, Femi Agagu, two current members of the State Assembly, Fola Olasehinde and Gbenga Edema and others gave the impression that the APC has come to stay and is waxing stronger in the state.

The big question is: will all this translate to victory on March 28 and beyond and; are the defectors politically agile enough to pull the PDP down?

In spite of the impressive development of the APC, it is believed in some quarters that the party may not win the state in the general election, especially the presidential election owing to some challenges facing it.

It was gathered that the party is secretly factionalized as there is no harmonious relationship among its leaders. While some members are loyal to the State Chairman, some who do not believe in the alleged obstinate leadership style of Kekemeke are rebelliously loyal to other factional leaders.

Insufficiency of funds for mobilization is another major issue confronting the

party. A source in APC disclosed that national leadership of the party is not really funding the party for the forthcoming election, thereby discouraging members to work vigorously.

The source narrated that lackadaisical action of the leadership to the state is deliberate following the experience it had in the previous elections, particularly during the days of the defunct Action Congress Nigeria (ACN) when it was discovered that some of the leaders mismanaged the money released to them for mobilization.

According to the source, “during the last governorship election in the state, the money released to our leaders of ACN was not properly used as it was hugely diverted to private pockets at the expense of the purpose for which it was meant.

“The same thing repeated itself when we were preparing for the bye-election in Ilaje /Ese Odo Federal Constituency last year as the money released by the national body of our party for the election was not properly used, that was why the APC came third.

“That is why the national leadership of the party is sceptical about the commitment of our leaders on the issue money for this general elections and it is seriously affecting the party in this state, in the area of work and mobilization,” the source stressed.

The PDP in its own case comprised two major political parties if the old PDP and the LP which is ordinarily supposed to be formidable to any party in the state but

the lingering leadership crisis that has engulfed it has made it difficult to totally predict victory for the party at the coming polls.

It would be recalled that the crisis erupted in the party following the alleged dissolution of the State Executive then led by Mr. Ebenezer Alabi by the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, leading to challenge of the NWC’s action at the court. This also degenerated to the creation of two parallel executives, one being led by the Commissioner for Rural Development and Cooperative, Eng. Clement Faboyede while the other is led by the former Vice Chairman of the party, Dr. Olu Ogunye; the two factions are claiming to be authentic.

Nevertheless, it is being observed in some quarters that even with the crisis hitting the PDP, it is still a party to beat because apart from being in control, it still controls its die-hard supporters across the state.

Also, the postponement of the election from February 14th and 28th to March 28th and April 11th this year may after all be a blessing to the ruling party as the information leaking out revealed that the full and final reconciliation process had began to end the crisis.

Knowing the implication of losing the state to the opposition, the notable leaders of the party were said to be holding several meetings with the warring factions, appealing to them to sheath their swords and concentrate on the election to secure victory for their candidates, especially President Goodluck Jonathan.

A party chieftain on condition of anonymity said, “I don’t know how far this reconciliation would go because the crisis has caused a lot of damage to our party, some of our members have decamped, while some aggrieved ones who have not defected are already working for the opposition secretly .”

Unfortunately, as it is now in the state, the election postponement is observed to have lowered the tempo of campaign activities of the APC in the state, though it was gathered that the houseto-house campaign is still ongoing.

It was also learnt that the postponement has also aggravated the paucity of

Nggilari’ll not betray PDP – P.P.Elisha Continued from Page 16

to bring back its stranded citizens in neighbouring Cameroon borders during the Boko Haram rampage.

Secondly, Nggilari will be remembered for his reconciliatory style.

For instance, despite the way and manner he was x x /zx E~ x lawmakers and reinstated by court, he reconciled with the state Assembly and the party stakeholders. He is a reliable leader, peacemaker and silent achiever that does not believe in paying evil for evil. Ngillari will be remembered for the humility in him and he has paid the price for the state to move forward.

Finally, despite the fact that he initiated some projects such as the provision of water and embarked on roads rehabilitation as can be seen on Bauchi Street and others. More so, over 100 boreholes have been sunk and rehabilitated by the committee he put in place. Nggilari also set up a 17-man committee on IDPs to go around, ascertaining what happens to any victim of Boko Haram and come up with a blueprint on how the state can assist them.

What happened to the recent report submitted to the Governor by the sevenman panel constituted by the former acting governor of the state, Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri?

You need to see the way that particular committee was set up to fault its essence. The former acting governor set up the committee for vendetta. It was headed by the former Chief Judge of the state, Justice Bobbo Umar, and was given only two weeks to investigate the tenure of the ousted Governor Nyako’s seven and half years. The two weeks’ assignment was unrealistic in the real sense of it. It is a kind of witch-hunting but Justice Umar did his best and demanded for time extension which Governor Nggilari obliged. However, after the expiration of the extension, Umar only succeeded in carrying out 40 per-cent of the assignment given to him. This is why Nggilari, while accepting the report, disclosed that if the need arises, another committee would be set up with a view to issuing government’s white paper at the appropriate time.

Nggilari is not interested in witch- hunting anybody.

There are media reports that anxiety and tension have engulfed the state over the Appeal Court case instituted against your boss by the Speaker. How true is this?

What kind of anxiety is that? People that reside in Abuja are the ones that planted such mischievous stories in some unserious national dailies to smear the name of Governor Nggilari. The case is before

a competent court of law.

One cannot pre-empt a court case or say anything about the likely outcome of the case, but all the same, the issue is constitutional and the Federal High Court had already interpreted the fact of the matter. The court in its ruling said Governor Nggilari did not resign as deputy governor. The court added that he did not submit any resignation letter to Governor Nyako in line with section 306 (5) of the Constitution which explains the procedure for a governor’s resignation.

The section says the governor should submit his letter of resignation to the Speaker of the state assembly. In case of deputy governor, the constitution says he will need to submit his resignation letter to the governor who is his principal.

We should understand that the evidence available in the High Court is the same evidence that will be used at the Appeal Court. I don’t see how new evidence will be introduced in the case. One thing that is certain is that if the Court of Appeal rules in favour of Fintiri, that will not be the end of the case.

There is still the Supreme Court. We believe Nggilari will not be thrown down.

We still have the chance to go to the Supreme Court. :x D x z | x D x case will come to nothing.

Contrary to media reports, there is no anxiety in the state. It is unfortunate that somebody could sit in Abuja and plant some malicious stories in newspapers. These people and their agents should know that we are not bothered by their mischief in the state. The people of Yola are not in anxiety; they know what Governor Nggilari has done over the issue of insurgency. The only thing on the lips of Adamawa people is the praise of the governor; so, nobody is anxious of anything or afraid of anything in regards to the court case. In fact, as far as we are concerned, we will like to consider the case as an academic exercise.

Politician unfolds plans to make Abia youths entrepreneurs Boniface Okoro, Umuahia

Y

oung, vibrant Kelly Izuwa Nwogu could pass for a motivational speaker any day. Lately, he took the Abia political scene by storm when he aspired for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ticket for Isiala Ngwa North and Isiala Ngwa South Federal Constituency. Though he did not succeed in his bid, Nwogu used a forum he organised penultimate week to unfold his transformation agenda for Abia State and its youths. Our correspondent, BONIFACE OKORO reports: He had sought to serve his people through the political platform. But he was not lucky for he failed to secure the ticket of his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He crashed out during the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary elections to choose its candidates for various elective Â&#x201A;/zxÂ&#x2020; It was in the run-up to the party primary that Nwogu emerged on the Abia political scene. The hitherto unknown 37-old realtor, who was seeking the ticket of the PDP to represent Isiala Ngwa North and Isiala Ngwa South Federal Constituency in Abia State at the House of Representatives, became an instant front-runner, thanks to his political sagacity, vigorous campaigns and media publicity blitz.

With the primaries, the Isiala Ngwa South-born business mogul was dusted. But rather than quit the party in anger, Nwogu has voluntarily chosen to channel his talents and resources to assisting the PDP to win the 2015 polls in Abia State. Similarly, has taken on a self-imposed mission of making Abia youths millionaires, even without oczÂ&#x160;`~{Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6; D `Â&#x201A;}{Â {zD} Â&#x201A;/zx +x Â&#x17D;{zÂ&#x17D;xÂ&#x2021; Â&#x201A;3 Â Â&#x2030;x Â&#x201C;Â&#x201A;Â&#x160;Â&#x20AC;ney to realising these goals on Saturday, February 7, when he organised an allexpense paid, two-pronged seminar for thousands of youths from Abia and other states. The seminar, on one hand, was to sensitise and mobilise Abians for a peaceful 2015 polls; on the other, it was principally organised to teach Abia youths how to

Gov. Orji

Kelly become entrepreneurs.

Having grown up in poverty, Nwogu said it was his desire that he imparts the knowledge he has acquired which paved the way for him to graduate from rags to riches to his fellow Abia youths.

Key resource persons at the seminar tagged, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Abia 2015 Conference,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; held at the Kolping Society, Umuahia, included pioneer director-general of the National Directorate of Employment, Chief Chuku Wachuku, the Abia State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Prof. Selina Oko and Kelly Nwogu himself.

Prof. Oko gave a rundown of the innovations and measures which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has adopted to make the 2015 polls credible.

She enumerated the innovations aimed at preventing rigging, fraud and malpractices during the 2015 general elections as the customisation of ballot instruments (ballot papers and the EC8 series or result forms), introduction of card reader machines in all the 120,000 polling units in the country to prevent multiple voting and ensure compulsory usage of the permanent voter cards (PVCs) for accreditation of voters to check multiple voting and prevent impersonation, among other things.

The REC told her audience that in order to ensure active participation by the electorate, INEC has embarked on extensive voter education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The electorate is enÂ&#x201C;Â&#x201A;{Â&#x2026;xÂ&#x2021; Â Â&#x201A; zÂ&#x160;x {Â&#x2026;Â Â&#x201A; Â Â&#x2030;x Â&#x2021;xvelopmental stance of the new INEC and also play its part in ensuring that a stable democratic culture is enthroned in the nation,â&#x20AC;? Prof.

Oko charged, pointing out that the electorate could do this by obtaining the PVCs

â&#x20AC;&#x153;as only voters with the PVCs would be able to perform their civic responsibility in the 2015 election.â&#x20AC;?

She was represented by a Â&#x2020;Â D3 Â&#x201A;Â&#x2039; Â Â&#x2030;x zÂ&#x201A;Â&#x152;Â&#x152;{Â&#x2020;Â&#x2020;{Â&#x201A;Â&#x2026; Bamidele Ayodele.

Nwogu said he delved into the risky business world about four years ago without any form of cash backing. But today, he is  Â&#x2030;x zÂ&#x2030;{xÂ&#x2039; xÂ&#x2019;xzÂ&#x160; {Â?x Â&#x201A;/zxÂ&#x20AC; of Livelihood Homes Ltd.

Telling his story, Neogu said he grew up in poverty and had to travel to Lagos in search of greener pasture.

In Lagos, he found that life wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bed of roses as he had to hustle to eke out a living. In 2006, he tried his hands on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;phone callâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business and in 2008; he switched over to hawking compact discs (CD) in  Â&#x2030;x /DÂ&#x2C6;Â&#x201A;Â&#x2020; Â&#x2030;xz {z  Â&#x20AC;D/z D Dopemu, under the bridge.

In 2010, he took to teaching and organised home lessons for children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My income was N50 per child every day. Sometimes at the end of the day, I go home with N200 after paying other teachers.

I was poor, I was helpless and was always broke,â&#x20AC;? he narrated.

According to him, things became tougher to the extent that his mother had to send the sum of N10,000 from home to enable him to sustain himself in Lagos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ordinarily, l should have been happy that my mother was caring for me, but I felt bad,â&#x20AC;? he said. This was the turning point for him as he revealed that he started attending seminars and reading some literatures that actually motivated and made him believe he had all it takes to be rich instead of being poor; that all he needed was to be determined

and change his mentality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody and everyEÂ&#x201A;Â&#x2021;~ zDÂ&#x2026; Ex Â&#x20AC;{zÂ&#x2030; 7Â&#x2030;x Â&#x2021;{3xÂ&#x20AC;ence is how you think.

According to Wachuku, becoming an entrepreneur proceeds from having a nice business concept which would metamorphose into a plan while the means of funding such an investment becomes the last on the card. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A developing economy like Nigeria,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;must of necessity depend on small scale industries and the informal sector where entrepreneurs are created.â&#x20AC;?

An entrepreneur, he added, employs himself and, perhaps, others, thereby generating employment which manifests in wealth creation and energises the economy as industry workers are paid wages which, in turn, trigger demands for goods and services that would stimulate a consequential supply.

He described the workshop as timely, noting that, time has come for Abia youths to become entrepreneurs and consequently wealth creators instead of chasing non-existent white zÂ&#x201A;}}DÂ&#x20AC; Â&#x201C;Â&#x201A;EÂ&#x2020; As many youths who participated in the seminar demonstrated their enthusiasm in learning the tricks of becoming an entrepreneur, it remains to be seen if Nwogu would, through them, turn Abia into a place where youths would become wealth creators inÂ&#x2020; xDÂ&#x2021; Â&#x201A;Â&#x2039; D}}Â&#x201A; {Â&#x2026;Â&#x2C6; {Â&#x2026; DEÂ&#x201C;xz poverty.
