Short News Buhari condemns Kaduna killings, orders intensified Magu asks bankers to report action against cultism in Rivers movement of cash above N5m Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the recent violence in Kaduna State, which led to the death of 20 members of the Adara community. The President regretted that those unfortunate deaths were the latest incident between the Adara and Fulani peoples in the state, who have a long history of mistrust between themselves. Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Tuesday, stated that President Buhari has also condemned the resurgence of cultist killings in Rivers State and ordered for increased community and law enforcement action against its escalation. He appealed for peace and

decried the on-going culture of ‘an eye for an eye’ that has fuelled a number of attacks and reprisal attacks, with the two communities at different times, suffering casualties in Kajuru and Kachia local governments in Kaduna states. The President also appealed to indigenes of Kaduna and other Nigerians to refrain from comments in the traditional and social media, especially by people who have little knowledge of the history of the longstanding conflict. Such comments, he said, can fuel further conflict in the area and between the two groups. Buhari made a special appeal to traditional and religious leaders to be cautious with their comments on the conflict, insisting that whatever words they share publicly should not

be inflammatory but be inspired by an interest in peace. The Nigerian leader also condoled with those who lost loved ones in the attacks, saying, “The entire nation grieves with you. The Nigerian army and police are already in the area to ensure that peace and security are restored.” In response to reports of the resurgence of cultism leading to loss of lives in Rivers State, President Buhari called on law enforcement agencies to intensify their efforts to end the menace before it further escalates. The President urged quick and effective intervention by community and civic leaders in support of law enforcement efforts, in all such areas bedeviled by cultist attacks and inter-communal violence.

The acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu has called on bankers in Maiduguri, Borno state to comply with the Money Laundering Act and report to the anti-graft agency any person(s) moving cash above the allowed N5 million threshold for individuals and N10 million for corporate entities. Magu gave the charge during an interactive session with the chief compliance officers of the various banks operating in the state. According to Magu, nobody should carry cash above the threshold of N10 million for corporate organizations and N5 million for individuals; anything above the threshold must be routed through financial institutions. Also, he emphasized the role of non-governmental organizations in the North-East, stressing that the EFCC will in the near future begin the profiling of such organizations with a view to monitoring their financial activities. He said: “We must profile all the NGOs in the North-East. I don’t know why an NGO will open more than 40 bank accounts. We are going to ask your various banks to give us statements of accounts for each and every NGO. “The issue of money laundering, terrorist financing and leakage of information will be eliminated by the commission with the help of bankers across the country.”

Lawmaker sues for peace from Ebonyi warring communities Charles Onyekwere, Abakaliki The House of Representatives member representing Ohaozara/Onicha/Ivo Federal Constituency of Ebonyi state, Rep. Linus Abaa Okorie, has called on the people of Alike Ikwo in Ikwo Local Government Area and their counterparts in Enyibichiri in Abakaliki Local Government of the state to immediately embrace peace and stop further killings, violence and all forms of hostilities. The two Ebonyi communities were at the weekend embroiled in a fratricidal communal crisis over a disputed parcel of land which led to the killing of no fewer than 12 persons. The incident had caused panic and traffic confusion along the Alex Ekwueme Federal University-Ikwo Road, where people returning from the Ebonyi State University (EBSU) matriculation were allegedly ambushed and massacred. Okorie in a statement in Abakaliki on Tuesday, said the killing of one another over a parcel of land is unfortunate and should be condemned, and discouraged by all Ebonyi people, irrespective of place of origin. He maintained that the people of the state are peace-loving and don’t engage in senseless killing of each other. The lawmaker however, expressed dismay that some unscrupulous individuals were bent on causing confusion and bad blood amongst otherwise peaceful communities in the state just to dent the peace efforts of the state government.

FG orders 2 additional coaches for Abuja-Kaduna rail route Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja The federal government in effort to ameliorate and ease the issue of passengers’ upsurge has ordered two additional coaches for the Abuja-Kaduna rail service route. Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, gave the directive during the monthly inspection of the ongoing LagosIbadan rail line at Ologueru, Ibadan. There was an upsurge of passengers on the Abuja-Kaduna train service due to the activities of kidnappers along the AbujaKaduna Road. Amaechi said the Nigerian Railway Corporation would move two additional coaches from Itakpe-Warri rail lines to that route. He also warned that staff caught in illegal sales of tickets would be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.

Amaechi said “We are going there to arrest anyone caught up with tickets racketeering. The long queue at that axis is because coaches are not enough. “The reason we bought those coaches was for people to sit down. But, people are standing, they shouldn’t stand. But, I have directed that we should move two coaches from Itakpe-Warri to Kaduna-Abuja. Today is the first day that I will be giving this directive. “The first directive I gave was to move two coaches from Itakpe-Warri to Lagos. When we saw the problem today, I told the chief executive to move two coaches to Kaduna from Itakpe-Warri because there are so much passengers in that axis.” He stated that it would be difficult to manage and control passengers standing in the train because of the upsurge. According to him, the long term plan

is that government would be going to China between April 24 - 30 to inspect new coaches and locomotives it is buying for the Lagos-Ibadan rail route. “We may be under pressure to put that on the Abuja-Kaduna route and if we do that, that would reduce the pressure at the moment; when there are more coaches and locomotives, the pressure will cool down.” Amaechi, said that until there is a connection between Itakpe-AjaokutaWarri to Lokoja and Abuja that is when more passengers would use the train on that axis. He pointed out that “the plan is on for the connectivity from Warri-ItakpeLokoja and we are talking to someone who wants to build a park at Itakpe to carry passengers by road to Abuja, pending when we get approval and funding to link Abuja to Itakpe.”

The Senate has lamented the failure of the office of the auditor -general of the federation to exert its constitutional responsibilities due to its neglect by the federal government, declaring that the office was designed to fail. It accused the federal government of allowing other agencies of government to usurp the statutory roles of the auditor general, thereby making the office redundant and less catered for financially. This was as the Senate faulted the auditor general’s accusation of the National Assembly for not concluding works on audit reports submitted by it since 1999. Responding to the allegation, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Public Accounts, Sen. Mathew Urhoghide said the committee was not constituted to consider audit reports alone, but has varied functions which it has been carrying out effectively. Rather than castigating the parliament, the lawmaker said the auditor general has not been steadfast in the submission of his audited reports. Sen. Urhogide said that “he is using the reports of the external auditors to the various agencies to write his own reports. The auditor-general has done nothing to query the use of one particular external auditor by an agency for more than 10 years.

Osinbajo expresses confidence in new NDIC Board Joseph Inokotong, Abuja Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has expressed confidence in the ability of the new board and management of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) led by Mrs. Ronke Sokefun, whom he described as an experienced lawyer and Umaru Ibrahim, an experienced technocrat to steer the corporation in the right direction. Osinbajo made the comment during the courtesy call paid on him by the board and management of the corporation in his office at the State House, Aso Villa, Abuja. In a statement yesterday in Abuja, Head, Communications and Public Affairs Department, NDIC, Mohammed Kudu Ibrahim said while congratulating the chairman and other members of the board on their appointment, Vice President Osinbajo also commended the management for prioritizing the interests of depositors in its choice of the Bridge Bank option for the resolution of many banks in liquidation. The vice President noted that a lot still needs to be done in the area of sanitizing the banking system, stressing the need for fresh ideas to produce a more resilient structure involving the NDIC and other relevant stakeholders to address the issue of non-performing loans and warned that the federal government was not prepared to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Those who were vociferous under GEJ are silent under PMB

Ademola Adeoye

For the umpteenth time, the major quandary facing Nigeria isn’t corruption and bad leadership. I opine that the major problem facing Nigeria is double standards and two-facedness. I never knew that those who were attacking His Excellency Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, when he was in office, but never in power—were doing so, not because they love Nigeria, but because they too wanted to taste the ice-cream of power. Now, they do have power (that is transient) thrust into their care, but they obviously do not know how to use it—to both protect and make Nigerians prosper. We have never been this naked and vulnerable as a nation as we currently are under the uninspiring leadership of President Buhari. Nigeria’s weak areas—within the context of insecurity and poverty are so exposed to the whole world. The rate at which people are begging for money and food has really increased. I write, not as a politician who is looking for coins from PMB, but I write as someone, who has accepted responsibility for the country he used to be proud of. And I do not need foreign reports to know that most of our people are poorer today than they were even under the lackluster and anodyne leadership of GEJ. Also, the rate at which people were killed under GEJ has insanely increased under PMB, though the rate at which people daily attacked GEJ has drastically and nauseatingly reduced under PMB. There is hardly a day that Nigerians are not being sent to the land of the silent ones. The life of a Nigerian is worth almost nothing! Presidents, who respect those they are in power

to serve, do cancel trips to foreign countries each time there is a crisis at home, but not our own. Even if hundred (100) Nigerians are killed, our own do not care a hoot. They are not in power to serve, but to be served! The more we spend money on security, the more insecure our people become. If “SARS” do not shoot our precious-people, terrorists would get the job done. Until one of the children of those in power is shot dead by “SARS”, nothing tangible and meaningful would be done to either reform or remove them. How can those who are being paid to protect our pricelesspeople be the ones killing them? It is a huge shame on all our political leaders, especially the chief servant of Nigeria. When OBJ was in power, there was a portion of the LagosIbadan expressway that got many Nigerians killed and for many years, Nigerians complained and cried acrimoniously, but nothing was done about it until a prominent Nigerian died on that road. The following day, the portion of that road was corrected. Those in the corridors of power only care for the prominent ones, not the poor ones, but it is poignant that the poor ones do not like themselves. GEJ was sent out of power for two major problems: poverty and insecurity. He was punished for not standing up to his leadership responsibility. Today, worse things are happening in our clime, but it is amazing that those who punished GEJ for reigning and not leading are back praising PMB for performing even shoddier than him. The number one enemy of Nigeria is not the devil, it is hypocrisy. Most of

both the leaders and led are worldclass hypocrites! Many northern elders and groups daily spoke against GEJ when he was the president of Nigeria, but today, the fad is no longer the same. They spoke against Goodluck, not because of what was happening to their people, but they spoke against him because he was not a northerner in office. Now that a northerner is in office and their people are still being killed and kidnapped, why are they not attacking Buhari as they attacked Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan? In Nigeria today, it is either you are killed or kidnapped. A day after El-Rufai and his convoy performed drama on Abuja-Kaduna highway; the kidnappers still went to same place to kidnap some more Nigerians, leaving their cars behind. A couple that was kidnapped gave a testimony during a religious gathering for paying the least out of those who were kidnapped some days back. Some hours ago, a man also cried out that his family members should sell his car and withdraw his last 2million naira, so they can put everything together to pay for his ransom, so he does get killed. Nigerians are now helpless in a country they call theirs! If you are not kidnapped on Kaduna-Abuja highway, LagosIbadan expressway will waste both your time and life. If one does not have an accident on LagosIbadan expressway, the badness of it would consume all your time. A fifty (50) minutes journey now gulps almost a day. Last week, someone left Ibadan at 6pm and got to Lagos at 4am the following day! How can you be productive in a nation as Nigeria?

Some days ago, Babatunde Raji Fashola said that power generation has increased. Before there was an increment in power generation as said by BRF, I was having a few hours in my house, but now, I hardly and barely have two (2) hours in two (2) days! In Nigeria, the better they say they are performing; the worse things truly turn out to be. How can one be productive in a nation that has so much money, but cannot supply constant electric power supply for her citizens to buy? No one is asking for a constant electric power supply for free. Nigeria is fighting banditry and terrorism in this age as if we are still living in an Agrarian age! Other nations of the earth have moved on in every area of their national life, but we are still very primitive in our thinking in this part of the world, because we have refused to invest in our people, especially those who can think productively. We have so many war Generals— both retired and in active service, but our experience as a nation speaks volume about the quality of our so called war veterans. Lastly, now that integrity is leading NNPC, its loss in four (4) years still did hit 555.1 billion naira. Integrity exalts, but not in Nigeria. When a leader of integrity is in power, people are supposed to prosper, but reverse is the case here. The more the people suffer, the higher Buhari’s integrity soars as an eagle. If it were GEJ in power, many critics who have found their hypocritical voice, but now that their tin-god is in power, they have lost their voice. Until we overcome hypocrisy, we cannot truly move forward as a nation.

Open letter to Buhari on Nigerian women

Toun Okewale Sonaiya

On behalf of Nigerian women home and abroad who are lovers of peace and believers in Democracy, congratulations on your victory at the just concluded presidential Elections of 23rd February 2019. This is indeed not an ordinary achievement for the majority of the Nigerian people to decide to keep faith with you despite our renowned reputation of impatience. This speaks to the uncommon faith reposed in you as a person of integrity. While I do not want to soil your victory celebration, I want you to know that your victory is not a referendum on what could have been achieved for Nigerian women in the area of representation and inclusion, rather it is more of a reflection of our belief in the great things you still have up your sleeves. Your Excellency, you will recall that even your opponents agree that your 2015 victory was a watershed moment in our history that signaled a new beginning of great possibilities. Unfortunately, we have had less to celebrate in the area of women representation

in your governance and the feminization of poverty in Nigeria. Amongst other not so impressive statistics in the last 4 years, you nominated only six women out of 36 ministerial positions. This represents a paltry 16% as against the 31% of women representation in the administration before you. Particularly worthy of note, are the millions of women across ethnic, religious and even class divide who voted for you in 2015 and have done same in the 2019 elections. While the data released by INEC on collected PVCs for the 2019 elections do not break down by sex, available 2015 presidential election voter turnout data shows that housewives were the third highest group out of the nine groups that voted. In 2015, three million, six hundred and sixtyseven thousand, and seventy-six (3,667,076) housewives voted in the presidential election, placing next to students (4,480,708) and civil servants (4,628,433). Similarly, housewives rank third on the list of registered voters by group in the 2019 election. That fraction out of women’s vote

represent 14.10 per cent of the total registered voters by group, next to farmers/fishers (16.23 per cent) and students (26.57 per cent). This figure does not include the millions of women across the various other groups who make up the total votes from women. I was privileged to attend and speak at the Women Political Aspirants Advocacy Summit last year. It was organised by the National Council of Women Societies in partnership with The National Centre for Women Development, Women in Politics Forum and the Office of the wife of the President of Nigeria. We were honoured and elated when you graced us with your presence and a speech, and despite the cynicism of a few that sat beside me about the timing and sincerity of support for increase participation, most of us believed you when you declared your support for the 35% affirmative Act policy. 2019 is that time for you to deliver on that promise. Mr. President, as we anticipate your swearing-in ceremony for the second term, history

beckons that you rise to the occasion and walk your talk by ensuring you lead the way in the implementation of the 35% affirmative action. You must be INTENTIONAL and DELIBERATE; to foster good governance and show that you’re accountable to true democracy by appointing more Women. A gentle reminder your Excellency that Ethiopia under a man had a 50/50 gender balance cabinet to the applause of the global community. Today, a woman is steering that ship. Rwandan women make up 64% of its parliament, 50% of its cabinet & 44% in Judiciary. Under your renewed leadership, Nigeria must reclaim and maintain its position as African Giant. It is said that uneasy lies the head that wears the Crown, and we will continue to pray for the Almighty God to grant you the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to stir the ship of our Nigeria but you must acknowledge and embrace at least 35% Women in your government.

Editorial Commentary

Aliko, Arewa and the multi-billionaire truth

Times Guest Columnist Louis Odion

It is not exactly new talk; the news is that it came from the lips of Aliko Dangote, thus breaking the age-old culture of silence. Summoning a moral courage rare among the elite, the Forbes-certified richest black man came down hard on northern governors while lamenting the clear and present danger extreme poverty poses to his native Arewaland. Speaking at the fourth edition of the Kaduna Investment Summit (KadInvest 4.0) in Kaduna last week, Dangote wondered why a region endowed with vast land that should have been exploited to drive agrarian revolution is, instead, wallowing in abject misery. His words: “It is instructive to know that the 19 Northern states which account for over 54 percent of Nigeria’s population and 70 percent of its landmass collectively generated only 21 percent of the total subnational IGR in the year 2017. Northern Nigeria will continue to fall behind if the respective state governments do not move to close the development gap.” The severity of the reality Dangote speaks to is perhaps better appreciated when juxtaposed with the existing classification of Nigeria as the world’s poverty headquarters. The Arewa situation could only be described as something worse than grim therefore if the broader picture of the nation seen from outside had already been termed beggarly. As he put it: “Nigeria is ranked at 157th out of 189 countries on the human development index. While the overall socio-economic condition in the country is a cause for concern, the regional disparities are in fact very alarming. In the North Western and North Eastern parts of Nigeria, more than 60 percent of the population lives in extreme poverty.” Indeed, the symptoms are visible in Boko Haram, abysmal literacy level, decrepit healthcare system, exploding Almajiri population and lately widespread drug abuse. Unless drastic measures are adopted to reverse the trend, one does not need to be a sociologist to know that the region’s preponderant poor are condemned to perpetuate the dynasty of poverty. According to reports, the North-west has 77.7% of its population living in relative poverty while the North-east comes second with 76.3% and the North-central 67.5%. Dangote’s candid words in Kaduna are a reminder of the melodrama in Abuja last year when visiting Bill Gates cast diplomatese aside before a much wider audience and decided to shock his hosts with bitter home truth. Decrying what he saw as a misalignment in government’s spending and the people’s needs as reflected by the economic blueprint unveiled, the world’s second richest man gave it straight to the special session of the National Economic Council led by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. To achieve sustainable growth, he counseled that investments in infrastructure must go hand in hand with human capital development. According to him, building roads, ports and factories without skilled workers to manage them cannot sustain an economy. Of course, no one could accuse sexagenarian Gates of mischief or insolence. Through Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the American billlionaire and philanthropist has shelled out more than $6 billion of his personal fortune fighting polio and other charity causes in Nigeria since 2006. For instance, Boko Haram and the festering Almajiri culture are fruits of cultivated ignorance. So, the sort of education Arewa kids need at this age is the type that truly liberates the mind, purges the mind of undue suspicion and channels their creative energies in the right direction. In Kaduna, it is reassuring that Governor Nasir elRufai is leading the way by taking sometimes draconian but necessary measures to change the story in the acclaimed political capital of the north by insisting that only qualified teachers remain in the classrooms to teach the pupils the right ideas. But there is also need to be broad-minded to receive offer of genuine help from outside. For instance, an otherwise patriotic initiative, though token, by Bishop Hassan Kukah to help address the issue of Almajiri by persuading them off the streets and enrolling them in free schools has received the harshest criticism from bodies quick to read religious motives to it. But while in a hurry to shoot down the idea obviously to protect their sectarian turf, such critics fail to offer a viable alternative to curbing

the social menace. While the Almajiris today offer ready recruitment ground for thuggery for unscrupulous politicians, let it be acknowledged that the original incarnation was innocent. The word, Almajiri, derives from the Arabic word “Al-muhaajirun”. It describes a learned “ulama” who propagates the peaceful cause of Islam. But the concept has since been bastardized to also become the by-word for child begging/destitution and potential recruits for the terror enterprise. With its vast land resource, the Arewa states have the comparative advantage to engage not only in growing but also processing agricultural products. A partnership between Lagos and Kebbi States two years ago created the LAKE rice. With collaboration among the governors of states like Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Zamfara, Jigawa and Kano, the envisaged economic turnaround of the region can, in fact, be catalyzed by harmonising policies and programmes to fully exploit their huge rice potentials, incorporating the Fadama for mechanised production. The time has come for the political leadership of the north to incentivize the migration of the Almajiri back to their respective communities rather than allow them to continue to loiter around the cities. Of course, no one should stop them from professed desire to study the Qur’an. But they should also be made to understand that nothing stops them from being gainfully employed on the farms on the side. The baptism of ‘Born-Again’ DSS in Rivers The governorship elections in Rivers State is surely now won and lost, but the controversies stirred will certainly linger for a while. One of such is the reported brazen partisanship of soldiers during the exercise, setting a dangerous precedent. It is commendable that the Army high command has instituted an inquiry to establish the truth. It is the least the Chief of Army Staff owes the public with a view to redeeming the name of that critical institution of state. Soldiers owe loyalty to country, not parties. Without prejudice to the panel’s investigations, let it however be stated right away that it is also quite possible that those caught in several viral videos in the social media could be impostors in fake Army uniform, just to intimidate political opponents. While expressing grave concern over alleged misconduct of a branch of the security establishment, it is only fair that those that discharged their duties creditably be commended. The one that readily comes to mind is the DSS. Given its “notoriety” in recent past as the “multipurpose enforcer” of sometimes dirty political jobs, it is quite significant that the service was not implicated in the bloodshed that characterized the Rivers polls. The international tradition is that the secret service plays the Big Brother on the nation, adept at anticipating threat and cutting down evil in its track. It is anonymous in identity and unobtrusive in operation. Stealth is its philosophy. But the DSS we saw until recently was one that seemed quite excitable and did not seem to care about that longcherished optics. This was very much in evidence in its midnight invasion of homes of top members of the judiciary and made quite a big drama of huge cash (including hard currencies) hurl from operations many thought should have been left to the regular police. Nor was the spy service spared of spotlights when the “testimonial” it prepared became the chief plank on which the Senate stood to deny Ibrahim Magu of confirmation as substantive chairman of EFCC consistently in the last three years against the repeated recommendation of President Muhammadu Buhari, thus deepening national curiosity. The height was last year when the service again showed a partisan hand at the National Assembly. In what was considered a brazen assault on a critical institution of democracy, hooded operatives barricaded the gate in a complicated power-play, acting like the proverbial Praetorial Guard that became master over the sovereign to whom it was supposed to be subordinated. That murky outing led to the suspension of then supremo of the service. By resisting the temptation to be drawn into the Rivers conundrum, it does seem DSS has learnt from the past. Kudos to the new leadership. We hope this new-found professionalism is sustained.

OUR POSITION

Curbing HIV/AIDS menace in Nigeria The Human Immune-deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has remained a global challenge for which there is no cure. In the three decades since the epidemic reached its height, 39 million people have died while 35 million people are living with the virus worldwide. Most of the dead and infected are in sub-Saharan Africa or other low- and middle-income countries of the world. The social stigma remains, but medical advances have allowed people with the disease to live longer, healthier lives. The first case of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria was reported in 1986. Since then, the number of people living with HIV or AIDS (PLWHA) has steadily increased with the epidemic moving into a ‘generalized’ state. Data made available during the 2018 World AIDS Day had indicated that about 9.4 million were counselled and tested as regards HIV/AIDS in 2017, out of which 4.98 million were female and 4.031 male. It added that 239,542 persons tested positive (136,987 female and 102,555 male). The report further revealed that only 18 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria are aware of their status, an indication that there is still a 52 percent gap in advocacy. The HIV epidemic has further weakened and threatened to overwhelm the Nigerian health care system, increased the number of orphans and increased the cost of achieving set developmental goals by decreasing the size of the workforce, mainly adults in their most productive years of life (15-60 years). The high manpower-intensive sectors of the economy are mostly affected including the agricultural, educational and health sectors as well as the rural economy. In summary, the impact of HIV/AIDS on Nigeria’s social fabric and on its economic development and well-being continue to be pervasive and, unless controlled, will continue to undermine the quality of life of Nigerians. There is high commitment to fight HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, as evidenced by the initiation of the Presidential Council on AIDS, the National AIDS/ STD Control Programme (NASCP), and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) which is a multi-sectoral agency including members from many government ministries and civil society. At the state level, State Action Committees on AIDS (SACA) have been established, while at the local level there are Local Action Committees on AIDS (LACA). The mission of NACA is to provide an enabling policy environment and a stable ongoing facilitation of proactive multi-sectoral planning, coordinated implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all HIV/AIDS prevention and impact mitigation activities in Nigeria. Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges in the HIV response has remained unchanged in the past years. HIV disproportionally affects people in vulnerable populations that are often highly marginalized and stigmatized. Thus, most new HIV infections and deaths are seen in places where certain higher-risk groups remain unaware, underserved or neglected. About 75% of new HIV infections outside sub-Saharan Africa are in men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, people in prisons, sex workers, or transgender people, or the sexual partners of these individuals. These are groups who are often discriminated against and excluded from health services. The universal goal of HIV prevention and control is to reduce new infections to zero by 2030, but worries remain about gaps in the number of people receiving treatment in Nigeria. With a population of about 9.4 million People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), an equivalent

to 10 percent of the global HIV burden, only an estimated 1,093,233 are on treatment. Several hundreds of others that qualify for treatment are left out. In 2013, 22 percent or 51,000 of all new child HIV infections that occurred globally were recorded in Nigeria and findings also show that the nation is not progressing as expected with its Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission of HIV or PMTCT programme because thousands of HIV positive pregnant women that are not on treatment still transmit the virus to their babies during or after birth. Nigerians appear to be resting on their oars with the false perception that HIV/AIDS no longer poses danger to our society. We must therefore rejig our information strategy to encourage behaviour change for key affected populations and urge all pregnant women to get screened for HIV. We must also invest more on PMTCT. The message about HIV testing should be clear. Even with all the medical advances, it is essential to encourage HIV testing within the populace to ensure everyone knows their HIV status. We must address complaints by people living with HIV/ AIDS about dwindling access to treatment and join efforts to get international donors to renew interest in the funding for the eradication of the scourge. Tackling the HIV epidemic with so many people not on treatment would be an exercise in futility. Therefore, the way to go is to ensure antiretroviral treatment is available and accessible for all people living with HIV. Nigeria must also adhere strictly to the recommendation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) that everyone with a diagnosis of HIV should be placed on antiretroviral treatment as soon as possible, irrespective of viral load.

Metuh tenders account records in N400m fraud trial Says Abba Dabo N25m is PDP’s

Andrew Orolua, Abuja Embattled former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh on Tuesday tendered his account records detailing how he spent N400 million paid to him for a presidential national project from the office of the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki in 2015. Metuh and his company Destra Investment Limited are standing trial before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, for allegedly laundering the N400 million. The court admitted the account records attached with receipts of payments as exhibit. Metuh, who continued his testimony on Tuesday had told the court that the N400 million was paid to him by former President Goodluck Jonathan for a special national assignment and that he disbursed the sum under the directives of the former President. Led in evidence by his counsel, Abel Ozioko, Metuh confirmed that no part of the N400 million was used for the campaign activities of the PDP, but exclusively for the presidential special

national assignment. The account records tendered by Metuh contains details of the disbursements and signatures of those who received the funds in the execution of the said special national assignment. Metuh explained that he reconciled the accounts with the late Special Adviser to former President Jonathan, Dr. Oronto Douglas, after which two documents were tendered to Jonathan, one, containing the details of the programmes executed while the other contained the details and receipts of payments for the project. Metuh further informed the court that he had no dealings whatsoever with the aide to the former vice President, Mallam Abba Dabo, on the special national assignment. He explained that the N25 million he paid to Abba Dabo, who had earlier testified in the case as a prosecution witness was from the PDP for PDP activities and not from the N400 million as Abba Dabo did not carry out any role in the special national assignment and was never assigned any role in the project. “All the dealings I had with Abba Dabo had nothing to do with the special national assignment; nothing about Abba Dabo was contained in the

record of accounts submitted to the former President and there is no record of payment made to Abba Dabo in the special national assignment,” Metuh told the court. He recalled that he had previously testified in court that as PDP national publicity secretary, he usually makes payment from his personal resources for party activities after which he gets refunds from the party. Metuh drew the attention of the court to an exhibit, a memo dated December 23, 2014 tendered by the Head of PDP Publicity Directorate, Mrs. Chinwe Nnorom, wherein the party reflected a refund of N25 million to Metuh for the funds he paid to Mallam Abba Dabo for a project he carried out for the party. The first defendant therefore, expressed shock that Abba Dabo did not ask him about the source of the N25 million refunded him by the party before refunding same to the EFCC. Metuh also told the court that all advertorials programmed by another prosecution witness, Yomi Badejo, which had the logo of the PDP were all paid for by the PDP, contrary to claims that they were paid for from the N400 million. Further hearing in the matter continues today.

You are shielding corrupt Zamfara Short News Borno: NEMA expedites action to judge, Shinkafi accuses NJC assist victims of B/Haram atatcks

The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Zamfara state, Alhaji Sani Abdulahi Shinkafi has berated the National Judicial Council (NJC), accusing it of shielding a corrupt judge of the Zamafara state High Court. Specifically, Shinkafi had on in a petition to the NJC on February 17 complained against the actions of a judge of the Zamfara state High Court, Justice Mohammed Bello Shinkafi. But in reacting to the NJC’s reply to his petition, dated March 11 with reference No: NJC/S.36/HC.ZM/4/1/22, advising him to first take the case to the state chief judge, the APGA governorship candidate in his reply dated March 19, averred that his complaint against Justice Bello Shinkafi was not on administrative grounds that may warrant the state chief judge interfering in the matter. “My complaint was against a judicial officer who did not only misuse his powers as a judge, but drastically summersaulted and made fun of the whole judicial process and adjudicative procedures.

“The appointment and discipline of judicial officers are matters of the constitution and are spelt out clearly by the provisions of the 1999 Constitution as amended,” the petitioner contended. He drew the NJC’s attention to the provisions of paragraph 21 (c) & (d) of the third schedule of the constitution, adding that going by these provisions of the constitution, the National Judicial Council has the exclusive powers to discipline any erring judicial officer. “These powers by the provision of Section 158 of the 1999 Constitution cannot be shared with any person or authority. “I am therefore, dismayed and at a loss over your purported advice that l should take the matter first to the Zamfara state chief judge for solution. How and based on what enabling rule or law? The reason for my dismay is not farfetched. Your advice is unprecedented and unconstitutional. “I respectfull therefore, disagree with your response and demand that the NJC should perform its constitutional responsibility by

looking into my complaint and adjudicate on it accordingly. “I similarly hold that anything short of this is a violation of the provision of the constitution. The chief judge of Zamfara state or anybody apart from the National Judicial Council has no powers to look into my complaint and decide my petition. “I still hold the judiciary as the last hope of the common man despite the injustice I have suffered in the hands of Justice Shinkafi. I hope you will use your good offices to reinforce my confidence and reliability. “I am therefore, constrained to revert back to you, sir and urge you to look into my petition and do justice to it,” Shinkafi demanded. He accused the NJC of sitting on the fence when it advised that he refer the matter to the Zamfara state chiefjJudge for adjudication. The NJC had in a letter dated March 11 and signed by the Secretary, Ahmed Gambo Saleh directed Shinkafi to take his petition to the Chief Judge of Zamfara state High Court for solution.

Fayemi flags off statewide water project Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti Ekiti state Governor, Kayode Fayemi, has charged Ekiti people to always protect public utilities in their domains by preventing vandals from destroying them. Fayemi spoke in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday during the flag off of the 251 kilometres water pipeline distribution project across the state, costing over N3. 354 billion.

He said the project will be co-financed by the state government and the World Bank under the third national urban water sector reform project. The governor warned that activities of vandals and laxity of beneficiaries of the water supply project to pay their bills can mar the project, urging the people to guard against these for the sustainability of the programme.

PDP laments rising insecurity, tasks Buhari on reversing trend Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has lamented the escalating state of insecurity, particularly the killings, rising spate of kidnapping, banditry and acts of terrorism in various parts of the country, especially the northern states. The party expressed grief over the pain, anguish and horror Nigerians have been subjected to in the hands of marauders. The PDP lamented that the federal government has failed to exert enough commitment in protecting the lives of Nigerians and curb the bloodletting and kidnappings in Zamfara, Borno, Yobe, Kogi, Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Bauchi and other states. It noted that by every indication, the Buhari administration has no solution

to the security challenges of the country, which has festered under its watch. While blaming the rising wave of insecurity on the failure of the administration to provide adequate security in the country, despite the huge resources at its disposal, the PDP charged the President to prioritize securing the lives of Nigerians. Also, the party tasked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to give account of the whereabouts of the political mercenaries it imported into the country from neighboring countries, particularly from Chad and Niger Republic during the build-up to the 2019 general elections. This demand, according to the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, is predicated on fears in the public space of the possible involvement of the imported political thugs, who assisted

the APC to unleash violence on Nigerians during the elections in the heightened acts of banditry in the nation. The party, he said had raised a red flag on the dangers of the heavy importation of unscreened aliens by the APC to participate in its presidential election campaign rallies. “The PDP and other well-meaning Nigerians had expressed fears that such aliens could be used by unpatriotic elements to carry out unbridled violent acts against Nigerians. “It is for this reason that Nigerians are anxious for the retrieval of our stolen presidential mandate, which they freely gave to Atiku Abubakar, at the tribunal, so that our nation can have the benefit of a purposeful government that is alive to its responsibility of ensuring the security and wellbeing of the Nigerian people,” Kola said.

The Senate on Tuesday passed the Nigerian Police Trust Fund Bill. Recall that last week, Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki, had promised the acting Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, that the Senate would fast-track its work on both the Police Trust Fund Bill and the Police Reform Bill. Reacting to the Senate’s passage of the bill, which has also been passed by the House of Representatives, Saraki said: “By passing this bill, we will be creating big strides towards providing and improving security and the policing in our country. “One of the major concerns has always been the issue of funding. We believe that this bill will provide the funding needed for training and recruitment. I am confident that by the time we lay the report on the Police Reform Bill, we would have gone a long way in moving the police in the right direction. “It is our view that once we have these police bills as laws, we will relieve the burden on the military, so that it can focus on its constitutional responsibility,” the Senate President said.

We’ll preserve sanctity of traditional institution, Delta monarchs vow Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Traditional rulers in Delta state have vowed to resist any attempt by influential members of the society to dethrone duly recognized traditional rulers and defend the sanctity of the traditional institution. In a three- point communique read by the Chairman, Delta state Traditional Rulers’ Council, Dr. Emmanuel Efeizomor 11, at the end of a meeting in Asaba, the monarchs condemned in very strong terms what they called the “unprovoked attacks” on traditional rulers by influential members of their kingdoms, saying that they would not tolerate such acts forthwith. Efeizomor frowned at attempts by such influential members of the society to either incite or mobilize the people against their traditional rulers as a result of the refusal of such royal fathers to accede to requests that are detrimental to the interest of the people. The chairman alluded to the failed attempt to dethrone the Osuvie of Agbarho, insisting that no individual no matter how highly placed can dethrone any traditional ruler without following due process. He said that instead of resorting to self-help with its attendant consequences, aggrieved persons should seek redress in court. The council therefore, called on the military authorities and the police to be at alert and check the activities of some of its retired members who might want to use them to intimidate and blackmail or cause civil unrest in parts of the state.

number one motor manufacturing company in Nigeria, adding that they have spare parts unlike some vehicles that lack spare parts. The ANAMMCO boss who is also the chairman of a leading transport company, GUO motors, said that because ANAMMCO vehicles are of good standard and are affordable, they are using ANAMMCODONGFENG vehicles for their industry. “By Nigerian standard, the vehicles are affordable. We are no longer with Mercedes. This is a new company and it is number one in China. In less than a year, it will be number one in Nigeria. “The vehicles can perform very well anywhere in any part of the country,” he said. According to Okeke, the firm is also targeting to shift from motor assembling to

building of vehicles made purely in Nigeria. He however, pointed out that they were ready to partner with organizations that are willing to do business with them, adding that already, some organizations have been approaching them for funds. Okeke lamented that it has not been easy since they took over the management of ANAMMCO, but said that they have been doing everything possible to surmount the teething problems. “It has been a very difficult and long journey, but by the grace of God, the problems are being solved,” he said, pointing out that with DONGFENG which is one of the biggest motor manufacturing company in China, they can tackle the problems created by the massive vandalization of the company before they took over.

Short News FIRS, Lottery Commission to automate VAT collection Joseph Inokotong, Abuja The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC) have started processes to automate the collection of Value Added Tax (VAT) in the lottery and gaming businesses in Nigeria. At an interactive session with operators of lottery businesses on Monday, the Executive Chairman, FIRS, Tunde Fowler said the automation of collection of VAT from all betting placements is a lawful way of raising the country’s revenue profile to enable the government function optimally. In a statement issued Monday, in Abuja, Head/Communications and SERVICOM Department, FIRS, Mr. Wahab Gbadamosi said Fowler noted that the FIRS in partnership with relevant stakeholders had earlier automated VAT collection in some other sectors such as aviation and stated that the successes recorded in those sectors would be replicated in the lottery industry. “Tax has to do with the law. What we are doing is to find a way to make tax collection seamless, convenient and efficient. We are automating VAT across various industries in the country. What we are doing with the gaming industry is not strange. “This automation is not intended to harm the industries, rather it is meant to improve the lives of everyone because VAT revenue is shared among the three tiers of government and it is used to provide social amenities and make life better for everyone. So, at the end, all of us win,” Fowler said. Fowler said that the addition of five per cent VAT would not discourage lottery businesses, but would rather strengthen them, insisting that “let us think of what we can do for this country. The five per cent VAT will not harm the lottery businesses,” he said. Director-General of the National Lottery Regulatory Commission (NLRC), Lanre Gbajabiamila noted that the automation of VAT collection in the lottery businesses is a well thought out initiative which would work seamlessly. “The NLRC and the FIRS are working together to ensure that this automation process is seamless.

be eliminated by the Commission with the help of bankers across the country.” While answering a question from a bank official, Magu said, “Aside from terrorist financing, the Commission is trailing the activities of ‘yahoo -yahoo boys’ on how victims were defrauded in the hands of those fraudsters by using the latest technology.

We’ve invested over N8bn on ICT infrastructure - Gov Obaseki Mathew Dadiya Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki has disclosed that his state has invested over eight billion (over $20m) on the development of Information Communications Technology (ICT) infrastructure. Obaseki said that the investment will improve broadband penetration adding that it was in line with a global drive for digital economic transformation. The governor said this at the Annual

Investment Meeting (AIM) held at the Emirate Convention Centre, Dubai, United Arab Emirate (UAE) with the theme: “Shaping the Digital Future of Foreign Direct Investment.” On the amount invested, he said between Google and MainOne, over $20 million has been invested in the fibre optic projects. Obaseki said, “it is a summit that has come to stay, a summit that a lot of emerging economies, a lot of third world countries either in Africa, Asia or in the Middle East have come to identify with it as their own.

“When you go for a similar summit in the western world, they are always talking about their own - their economy, and thinking beyond where you are. “But with this summit, it’s peers talking to one another and we are about the same page of development even though some have moved faster or ahead of others, but we generally can understand each other and the issue is the same.” According to the governor, the issue is how to get ourselves integrated into the digital economy.

Obaseki noted that the global economic growth is coming more from the digital transactions from digital economies and it’s important that emerging markets such as Nigeria,key in. “So this summit is very apt to profit on our future. You can tell from the conversations that have been going on from the last couple of days how the digitalization of the economy is really transforming the economy either in the area of education, healthcare, mobile transactions, banking and Nigeria cannot be left out of it,” he added.

IMF cuts global growth outlook, says Nigeria’s economy will grow by 2.1% Motolani Oseni Amid trade tensions and a potentially disorderly British exit from the European Union, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Tuesday cut its global economic growth forecasts for 2019, however, says Nigeria’s economy will grow by 2.1 per cent by the end of this year. The IMF believed that Nigeria’s economy will expand a little faster than its earlier projection, representing an increase of 0.1per cent points from the 2 per cent projected in January. The global lender disclosed this in the World Economic Outlook report released yesterday at the ongoing spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank Group. The fund noted that some major economies, including China and Germany, might need to take shortterm actions to prop up growth and that a severe downturn could require coordinated stimulus measures. The IMF said it still expects that a sharp slowdown in Europe and some emerging market economies will give way to a general re-acceleration in the second half of 2019. But chances of further cuts to the outlook are high, the Fund said in its World Economic Outlook report. The IMF and World Bank are holding their spring meetings in Washington this week. IMF chief economist Gita Gopinath said a sharp downturn might require synchronized fiscal stimulus “across economies” as well as loose monetary policy. “This is a delicate moment for the global economy”, Gopinath said in a news conference. In its third downgrade since October, the IMF said the global economy will likely grow 3.3 per cent this year, the slowest expansion since 2016. The forecast cut 0.2 percentage point from the IMF’s outlook in January. The projected growth rate for next year was unchanged at 3.6 per cent. More than two-thirds of the expected slowdown in 2019 owes to trouble in rich nations. “In this context, avoiding policy missteps that could harm economic activity should be the main priority,” the IMF said its report. One potential misstep lies in Britain’s indecision over how to leave the EU. Despite looming deadlines, London hasn’t decided how it will try to shield its economy during the exit process. The IMF’s new forecast assumes an orderly “Brexit,” but the Fund said a chaotic process could shave more than 0.2 percentage points from global growth in 2019. The IMF said the Bank of England should be “cautious” on its interest rate policy, an apparent tip to wait before hiking borrowing costs. The EU’s economic growth is already slowing substantially, and the slowdown accounted for much of the reduction in the global growth forecast. Germany’s outlook suffered from weaker demand for its exports, softer consumer spending and new emissions standards that have depressed car sales. Germany may have to quickly turn to fiscal stimulus measures, the IMF said, also calling on the European Central Bank to keep stimulating the regional economy. The IMF also cut Japan’s growth outlook following a string of natural disasters.

Resignation of CJN has vindicated President Buhari – Issa-Onilu Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) recently spoke with some journalists in his office at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja on the resignation of former Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Walter Onnoghen. The former CJN reportedly tendered his resignation to President Buhari on Friday according to one of his lawyers. The party spokesman also reacted to the just concluded elections in Rivers State, where leader of the APC in the state and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi adopted the governorship candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), Awara. TOM OKPE was there for The Daily Times. What’s your view of the resignation of the CJN? The issue we have in this country is that many people, especially those who have been part of the impunity of the past, are struggling badly to adjust to the reality of rule of law. That is the major issue we are facing in this country. There is so much struggle to allow the past that is not good enough for us as a country to allow it go and for all of us to rise and face the future, future of promise and change so that we can move to the ‘Next Level’. When this happened, as usual, especially PDP and some of their allies, the civil societies, not the entire community of the civil societies because some of the allies of PDP, everything they read were the barometer of politics and we do know that, until we all rise above sentiments, no matter what part of the divide you find yourself; first and foremost this is an issue that has to do with our country and that is the only way we can progress. We know right from the beginning that what the immediate past CJN (that is if his resignation letter is accepted) did and we also know that the allegations were too serious and we know too that the President does not act on frivolities, he must have done his background checks, he must have gotten good information to have taken the action he took and not just taking that action, that there was basis for the action that can be legally proven and those lawyers, so-called Senior Advocates of Nigeria who had over the years dipped their hands along with some of these judicial officers, in the ‘till’ of this country, continued to lampoon the President, APC and blaming this government that is doing its best to right several of the wrongs that we have been used to. We were actually the ones trying to kill democracy and this party rose in the defense of the President because we understand that the President we know meant well, he knows the real purpose that drives his actions. Now, events have proven the President right. Events have proven the party, APC right. Events have proven those Nigerians who believe Nigeria first and any other things after events have proven them right. We all can only be hiding behind one finger, otherwise we know Nigerians, reasonable Nigerians knew from the beginning that those allegations were not cooked up and if they were real, the next thing for the CJN to have done was to have stepped aside and not the question of he wouldn’t be the only one, why him? There is nowhere in the world where judgment is passed on every sinner at once. It is not every armed robber you can catch the same day. And even some you know, the slow will of justice may not catch up with them immediately, but we must continue to see evidence that we are moving towards that sanity that we are making progressive efforts and sending strong signals to people who think this country must continue as long as they are comfortable and the rest of Nigerians are suffering. We must send that signal

said they were defending judiciary, that they are defending separation of powers and that, they are defending rule of law, that they are fighting for the constitution, whereas they are fighting to protect themselves from the long arm of the law. What about the results of the Rivers State governorship election, was it a failure of the APC? No, we don’t have anything to do with the Rivers State election. APC didn’t have candidates in Rivers State and that is why, from the beginning, we didn’t throw ourselves so much into it. You know what the Supreme Court did; we were not qualified to contest, so, on that basis, whatever happened in Rivers, whether a Local Government that gave 80% total during Presidential election suddenly produced 320,000 for Wike during governorship election didn’t hurt us in any way. If INEC says that was correct, fine, it is up to the parties involved to take actions if they find it necessary but for us as a party, we didn’t have the opportunity to contest in Rivers State. You adopted AAC? No!

Issa-Onilu

to them. It is not going to be business as usual. Now, you have seen the head of National Assembly, Senate President in the dock. You have seen the CJN in the dock. So, one day, we will see a President that will also misbehave in the dock, which now shows that nobody is above the law of this country that we are all equal before the law. So, anybody who finds himself in any position should now begin to look closely at his own actions knowing well that today may protect him but tomorrow may expose him. The Senior Advocates that you talked about argues that it was not about Onnoghen, it was about due process. They always craved for due process that Onnoghen was supposed to be made to resign due to recommendations of NJC. Suddenly, NJC has made a recommendation... Is it just a mere coincidence that Onnoghen has resigned? NJC’s action has confirmed that due process was actually followed. You see, we are too much in a hurry to protect what is wrong because there were two issues involved; one is the issue of declaration of assets which there is abundant proof from superior court that no court has power to stop the Code of Conduct Bureau or Tribunal from doing its work. So, it was the same Code of Conduct Tribunal that says this person has a case to answer, and President Buhari acted, based on directive from a competent court. The President is not in the best position to examine the action of that court whether it is wrong or right, the law does not give him that power. Even, if you believe he has acted wrongly. The correct thing for him to do is to comply with that instruction.

The President also understands that there was an issue. So, the President didn’t just wake up and act, he acted on something. The second issue is the criminal aspect of it, of which was sent to the NJC, so, the people were saying it is only NJC that can act, they were not separating the issue of Code of Conduct Tribunal from the criminal aspect of Onnoghen’s actions. For instance, you saw what the prosecutors did at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. They were not talking about where you got the money or how did you get so much money into your account, what they were talking about was, the money we found in your account, you didn’t disclose or declare it in your Declaration form. It doesn’t matter whether you earned it legitimately or not, that is not the issue, the law says even the ones you earned legitimately, you must disclose in your form and you must continue to update your form as the situation changes, he didn’t do that. So, it was not about whether he stole money or whether he got bribe. That was not the issue before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. And that was what they took to that place. When they now worked diligently on the criminal aspect of it and sent it appropriately to the NJC, because these people are not actually looking for something on the basis of looking at what is right, it is on the basis of impunity must continue because they were all part of it and they have all been benefiting from it, so, that is the issue. You will find out that most of the monies they found there were the ones trading with judicial officers. Some of them are agents of these judicial officers and that is why they all came out and

But that was the controversy; you absolve a chieftain of the party who worked directly with AAC? What happened last time was whether what he did amounted to anti-party activities and I said No, because they have not denied any of our candidates anything in Rivers State. So, I separated what had happened in Rivers from Ogun and Imo where we had our own candidates and our own members worked against own candidates and worked for some other candidates. It is different in Rivers. Whatever local arrangement they had there, we were not aware of it, we were not part of it. I’m sure you didn’t see anybody there campaigning for anybody outside of APC. On Kwara State APC governor-elect, in case the governor-elect is indicted on the alleged scandal against him, what do think will become of the party in the state? See, there is no scandal. You see, APC is a party of due process. Once you comply with your rules, things become easy for you. We have a process and they, (governorship aspirants) went through the right process. We are confident and completely certain that our governor-elect has nothing to hide. The certificates are genuine. So, those who are involved in those antics should think twice. You see, it is laughable that of all things, they cannot come out to say the election was rigged because they were trapped even beyond their own imagination. So, may be they could use something from that to say that they have something to go to tribunal, so at least they can’t just walk away, but they need to wake up and face the reality of that defeat, it is an eternal defeat, it is total.

In the just concluded elections, your party lost some major states like Bauchi, Adamawa, Sokoto, Oyo and you narrowly won in Kano, is your party not jittery ahead of 2023? Not at all. Again, the picture you painted is not exactly correct. Sokoto, we lost by less than 500 votes. Kano, we won by thousands of votes. Which one is narrow? Is it the Sokoto that PDP have claimed they have won with three hundred or Kano that we won by over 20,000 votes, so it is not narrow. But the important thing to note is that, being a journalist myself, and I begin to ask myself, what has happened to us in the media in our roles to interpret events; because if we interpret these events very well, you have a ruling party that is supposed to mobilise all the resources of coercion, all instrument of coercion to get what you want and you have said now that we lost some states, major states. I will tell you that the only reason that happened happened was because this party has provided a platform for people to go and face the electorate and for the electorate to pass judgments on the people that had been put forward without anybody doing anything against it. We have just talked about Rivers State. Whatever was going on in Rivers State, as far as this party is concerned, belongs to the people of Rivers State. Otherwise we will say okay move in and do that. We have witnessed it in this country under PDP that a whole state would be locked down. Their own method is winning by all means, let others go to tribunal. We didn’t apply that. You have seen major politicians in this country, big politicians in this country losing election even in our own party. You saw a serving governor in Oyo State who couldn’t win one-third of the State. A governor who is governing the entire state couldn’t win one-third of the entire state to get to the Senate. You saw a struggle that is still going on in Akwa-Ibom State. Somebody of the caliber of Godswill Akpabio even though we know there are issues to that and it would be corrected but at the same time, we should have deployed in such a way that we will want to arm-twist anybody or the system or manipulate the system. That question did not even arise at all and I think media should step back from the milieu so that they don’t get carried away by what kind of ‘flu’ politicians are going with. So, they can see the issue clearly and say what is responsible for this. You could see that we lost Oyo in presidential election. We have a sitting governor, we lost Ondo, and we have a sitting governor. But because we didn’t want to condone impunity, we did all we did in Imo in a way to undermine ourselves and the choice we had was to accept what would have amounted to impunity, so that we could win Imo but we said No! We would rather do what is decent.

War against exam malpractice: WAEC gets kudos for winning battles

Jordan Hills celebrates children poets, harps on importance of writing poems

Esther Taiwo The menace of examination malpractice is no doubt one of the vices causing setbacks to the education sector as many graduates cannot defend their certificates in the world of works because they cheated their ways through examination malpractices. This has become so worrisome to examination bodies who have devised several means to curb the albatross. However, the battle against examination malpractice appears to be won as the West Africa Examination Council which is the major victim of the menace recently got kudos from the Nigeria Examinations Committee comprising of four representatives each of the State Ministries of Education and the Department of Education of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja, All Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) and the Universities. It also includes the Registrar to Council, the Head of the Nigeria National Office, the Head of the Test Development Division (TDD) and the Head of the Test Administration Division (TAD) of the Council. At the 67th Meeting of the Nigeria Examinations Committee held at Excellence Hotel & Conference Centre, Ogba, Lagos recently, the Committee observed that there was a decrease in incidence of examination malpractice in the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination for School Candidates (WASSCE) 2018 when compared to that of 2016 and 2017. The Committee also commended the Council for deploying the Virtual Digital Printing and other innovations to forestall examination malpractice and urged the Council to keep synergising with relevant stakeholders to reduce the menace drastically. The Committee, which is the highest decision-making organ of WAEC on examination-related matters in Nigeria, meets twice a year, to consider matters relating to the conduct of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for School and Private Candidates. WAEC was also commended for the following initiatives that have greatly improved its service delivery to its stakeholders: Electronic Marking of selected subjects with its attendant reduction of human intervention during marking; The Walk-in-Candidates Option that has expanded access to examination for candidates; Project 45 or less that has made the early release of results possible. In addition, the Committee stressed the need for Ministries of Education to adopt the WAEC’s Chief Examiners Reports as a handbook for both teachers and students in order to improve teaching and learning which will eventually lead to enhancement of candidates’ performance in the various diet of WASSCE. In a press release issued by the Public Affairs Department of the West Africa Examination Council and signed by the Head, Public Affairs, WAEC, Yaba, Lagos, Mr. Demianus Ojijeogu, the Committee decried the decline in the performance of candidates in Literaturein English with less than 25% pass rate at Grades A1 to C6 and called on relevant stakeholders to arrest the ugly trend. To this end, the Committee appealed to parents to provide the recommended texts for their children and ensure that they study them for the examination. At the Meeting, the Committee received a report on Irregularity, Special

Education crucial for peace, security, rule of law - Saraki Tunde Opalana, Abuja

President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, has reiterated the importance of education in ensuring peace, security and rule of law in any society. Saraki stated this while contributing to the General Debate on the theme: “Parliaments as Platforms to Enhance Education for Peace, Security and the Rule of Law” at the ongoing 140th General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Doha, Qatar. He noted that “education is a fundamental human right - central to the development of citizens as well as what contributions they make to society,” according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sanni Onogu. He added that the National Assembly holds strongly that with the right education, Nigerian youths would be less susceptible to the radicalising influence of terrorist groups and other societal ills, thereby “helping to birth a more peaceful, secure and just society.” He regretted that the security challenges confronting the country today are traceable to – or exacerbated by - challenges in the nation’s education sector. Saraki, however, stated that even though Nigeria has about 13.2 million Out-of-School-Children – the highest in the world – according to the Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), the 8th National Assembly has and

would continue to work with the Federal Government to address the shortfall with combined strategies to enhance peace, security and the rule of law in the country. Saraki said: “De-radicalisation programmes for former militants or insurgents have a strong education component, and these have proven very effective for peace-building and security. “The Presidential Amnesty Programme for ex-Niger Delta militants involved free local and international tertiary education for former combatants. This is in recognition of the fact that education reduces youth restiveness, which in turn promotes peace. “As part of parliament’s effort to ensure that education is built on solid foundation, we passed The Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) Amendment Act which guarantees free and compulsory education for all Nigerians up to secondary school level; while also increasing from 2% to 3% the budgetary allocation to universal basic education. “The law also makes it easier for states to access UBEC intervention funds, as the benchmark for counterpart funding has been reduced from 50% to 10%. This and other legislative interventions will make all the difference, we believe, in basic education in Nigeria. “The 8th Senate is looking to amend the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) Act 2011 to include Colleges of Agriculture as beneficiaries of the

fund, to improve the quality of education in those institutions. We amended the Federal Polytechnics Act to enhance the quality of learning as well as prospects of graduates in the job market. “The Sexual Harassment in Tertiary Educational Institution Bill, which we have also passed, aims to protect female students from gender-based violations. “We have acted decisively in the terrorism situation in the north with the passage of the North-East Development Commission (NEDC) Act, which is all about bringing people back from internally displaced camps back to normal life in the region. Children will go back into the school system and peace will return to those areas. “We do affirm that the rule of law is crucial to viable democracy, and for a successful and peaceful society. Education is necessary in order for people to appreciate where a society is, and where it should be headed. “No society develops without sustained democracy and the rule of law, which leads to economic development. Even those who are going to invest in a country will only do so when we have sustainable democracy that guarantees stability; that also requires the rule of law. “Parliament’s actions must therefore be guided by these considerations when we tackle the education needs of our societies. It is only then that we can truly say that we have been able to use education for the enhancement of peace, security and the rule of law”.

LASU clears ground on Prof. Okebukola’s age falsification, retirement scandal Esther Taiwo The attention of the Lagos State University Management has been drawn to a publication by an online medium recently with respect to a former Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC) and an academic member of staff of the University, Professor Peter Okebukola. The publication borders around multiple dates of birth and retirement status of the renowned Professor. This was contained in a press release signed by the Coordinator, Centre for Information, Press and Public Relations, Lagos State University, Mr. Ademola Adekoya. The release stated that Lagos State University Management is without doubt one that abides strictly with the rule of law, statutes and

conditions of service guiding operations of the University. In order to clear the ambiguity in the publication referred to above, the University Management informed the general public that Professor Peter Okebukola is a bonafide academic member of staff of the university. The statement read in part: “Professor Peter Okebukola joined the service of Lagos State University transferring his service from the then Oyo State College of Education, Ilesa and the date of birth on his Record of Service forwarded to the University by his former employer is 17th February, 1951. The University is bound to stand by that date because the Record of Service is the officially recognised record of his past service. “The affirmation of the Date of Birth of Professor Okebukola in the Record of Service forwarded to the University by the Oyo State College of Education, Ilesa confirmed the

assertion by Professor Okebukola that he was born on 17th February, 1951. “Based on the foregoing and in compliance with the law and subsisting Conditions of Service guiding senior members of staff of the University as at 2015, Professor Peter Okebukola was due for retirement on the 17th February, 2016, being the date he attained the age of 65years. However, the Lagos State Government on 5th January, 2016 promulgated a new law extending the retirement age of Professors to 70 years while other academic members of staff who are not of Professorial cadre and Non-Teaching members of staff had their retirement age reviewed upwards to 65years. (Section 42:1 a,b &c LASU Amended LAW, 2016). “It is instructive to note that aside Professor Peter Okebukola, five (5) academic and twenty (20) non-teaching members of staff including those on Terminal Leave also benefitted from the provisions of this law.

A non for profit organisation, Jordan Hills, has celebrated children poets at its annual Jordan Hill Poetry Slam to mark World Poetry Day, celebrated recently across the globe. The event had the children from different schools across Lagos, participate in junior and senior categories held at The Bunker, Lekki in Lagos. Speaking at the event, the Executive Director, Jordan Hills, Mrs. Adeola Eze, said poetry writing is fun and provides a creative method for improving children writing in general hence the need to encourage children to have the skills to be able to write effectively well. She however added that it is the least given much attention in the array of literary genres and that only the truly artistically minded see the richness and beauty that lie beneath the many stringing of words in lines. “Today we deem it fit to join the world in celebrating poetry because poetry for us, at Jordan Hills and at the Young Author’s Club, brings a great bounty of writerly skills and tools, and many of these spills over into other writing forms, sprinkling them with just a little of the magic that is poetry.” Explaining how the children were chosen for the competition, the educationist said prior to the event, the children enrolled in the Young Author’s club and submitted poems written by them in a poetry writing contest. “From those submissions, best written poems were picked to be recited by their writers at the competition. This is our own way of reinforcing the children to get into writing and also inspire them to create their own poems,” she added. Earlier in his remarks, Managing Director, Jordan Hills, Mr. Kennedy Eze, said the programme is the first from Jordan Hills to celebrate poetry in the country and to celebrate young children who have interest in writing. “This is in conjunction with Poets in Nigeria and so far we have seen what the children have done and we hope this continues to become part of our system,” he added. Explaining other things Jordan Hills does, Eze said every year the organisation brings out young authors, launch books. “We have launched the first set and another set is coming out this May. “For the summer, we have a camp to groom young writers, young readers and those that want to illustrate, so year in and year out we have activities that is helping children get better in reading and writing,” Eze said. He however used the opportunity to call on sponsors so that all children from all schools including government schools can be part of it “because once we get these sponsors, every child become better writer and possibly an author.” The educationist also urged schools in the country to be part of the Young Author’s Club convened by Jordan Hills, because according to him, what they do is to compliment what is done in the school. “The primary aim of the school is to teach the children to get better but what we do is an additional time to better on it and we bring in better methods and activities that will interest you,” he explained. Highlight of the event was the public presentation of a young boy, Jeremy Essienete’s book, titled ‘Night’ which is a collection of 18 poems. At the end of the keenly competition, Oluwafirefunmi Depiver of Corona School, Gbagada won the most creative

Khaleel said the national leadership of the union had discovered that the Edo State Government anointed a candidate for the state branch election; and trying to force some local government workers to do their bidding. According to him, this is not acceptable and would not be allowed, insisting that the union would mobilise all local government workers across the state to protest against the state government; if this continue. He regretted that the election, earlier scheduled to hold on April 2, has been suspended and would now hold on April 29, due to some internal problems. Comd. Khaleel said: “We observed that Edo State Government anointed a candidate in our own election. In view of that the government is trying to coerce some local government workers to do their bidding. This led to a situation whereby the state local government service commission is now witchhunting, harassing and intimidating some workers by way of punitive posting, demotion and threat to move some of their services to the state state civil service. “We, therefore want to make it clear

that NULGE as a responsible and responsive Union condemned this act and advise the government to desist from it. There is a difference between partisan politics and trade union politics.” Comrade Khaleel stated that if the witch-hunting, harassment, intimidation of their members as well as the interference persist, it may lead to the breakdown of the existing industrial peace in the state. While demanding for immediate payment of salary arrears owed some local government workers, he advised the state government to face the issue of how the salaries would be paid rather than interfering in their election, which remains the internal affairs of the union. He explained that all workers in seven local governments of the state were still owed salaries arrears by the state government; which include: Oredo Local Government and Esan with two months, Etsako West, three months; Uhumwode, Esan West, and Egor four months and Orhionmwon eight months. The NULGE President also warned all its members that already affiliated with the state government on this issue because of their ambition, saying that the union would not hesitate to invoke relevant provisions of its constitution “against these anti-union activities.” He assured all the union members that all hands are on deck for the smooth conduct of the election. The Edo State Branch of NULGE had also written to the Acting Governor of the state, Comrade Philip Shaibu, intimating him about the interference in their union election and persistent intimidation of its members. The letter titled: “Intimidation of our members”, and signed by the NULGE Acting State Secretary, Comr Ikiba Ronami, the union said it has observed that “since the lifting of ban in our union politics and the sale of electoral forms to our members, there is a spate of

Khaleel unwholesome political interference in our union affairs.” The state NULGE called for caution, saying that the government action was a sharp deviation from the norm. The union told the deputy governor, “our union is not a political party where unwritten rules applies and sacred norms are thrown to the wind. The membership of the union is fully defined in our constitution and any interference in our affairs by non members will be viewed as a threat to industrial harmony.” It added: “The union wish to further state that we will not hesitate to mobilize our members across the state to resist, protest and possibly strike (withhold our services), if these acts of coercion, intimidation, politically motivated transfer, threat of demotion and unwholesome interference in our union affairs are not restrained.”

African Ministers hail Buhari’s economic agenda Extol Ngige’s exploits at ILO The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan of the Buhari administration got a thumbs-up over the weekend in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from the African Ministers of labour, Employment and Social Affairs, just as they hailed the efforts of the Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige at championing the cause of the continent at the Governing Board of the International Labour organization (ILO) since his election in 2017. The Ministers who gathered for the 3rd Biannual Special Technical Committee on Social Development, Labour and Employment under the auspices of the African Union Commission deliberated on the theme, “Poverty Eradication Through Strategic Investments at National and Regional Levels Towards Social Development, Labour and Employment in Africa”, a subject aligned to the “Africa Agenda 2063 for Prosperity,” already adopted by the Heads of State and Government of the African Union. Speaking on the theme of the conference as the lead discussant in a paper entitled, “The Efforts of the Nigerian Government Towards the Eradication of Poverty In Nigeria, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Sen. Chris Ngige told the gathering that the economic development agenda of the Buhari administration was tailored towards a concurrent growth of the threetier federal structures of national, states and local governments in line with the diversity of the nation. The session held between April 1 - Friday, April 6, 2019. He said the battered economy which the administration met in 2015, slipped into recession in the first and second quarter of 2016, prompting an aggressive economic recovery plan with big emphasis on agriculture and food security. “The effects were dramatic. We boosted agriculture and raised the capacity of the nation to feed herself, to the extent that importation of rice for example, dropped by 95%. The same goes for sorghum. This decisive inward look was pivoted on the elastic efforts of government which the Central Bank of Nigeria piloted through

Unions want Buhari to sign Ajaokuta Steel Company Completion Fund Bill The two unions in the iron and steel industry have said that completion and functioning of the Ajaokuta Steel Company Ltd. will reduce unemployment and improve the economy. The unions, Steel and Engineering Workers Union of Nigeria (SEWUN) and Iron and Steel Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ISSSAN), also said that presidential assent to the Ajaokuta Steel Company Completion Fund Bill, 2018, would impact much on the company and the industry. The leaders of the unions – Alhaji Kasemu Kadiri, General Secretary of SEWUN, and Mr Bello Itopa, ISSSAN President – spoke with newsmen on Monday in Lagos. The union leaders were reacting to President Muhammadu Buhari’s decline to assent to the bill. NAN reports that the president on April 2 declined assent to the bill, saying that the nation could not afford to commit $1 billion to the rehabilitation of the company because of other priorities. According to the president,

appropriating $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account is not the best strategic option for Nigeria at this time of budgetary constraints. In 1971, the Federal Government established the Nigeria Steel Development Authority (NSDA) in order to advance development of the steel industry. On Sept. 18, 1979, the company was established and it became the successor of NSDA which was dissolved through decree No. 60 of the same year. Kadiri told reporters that the president and lawmakers should close any loopholes and ensure that the company would begin operations. According to Kadiri, the project was envisaged to generate socioeconomic benefits and increase the production capacity of the nation through linkages to other industrial sectors. The union scribe said that if the steel company would be allowed to operate well, it would create more employments, earn foreign exchange and increase revenue generation.

He said that rehabilitation of the steel mill was stalled over the years because the Seventh National Assembly cancelled a contract between the Federal Government and Global Infrastructure Holding Ltd. (later Nig. Ltd). ”The concession agreement was cancelled because of outstripping of assets. The government discovered that Global Infrastructure was taking away important machinery, and the matter was taken to court. ”Both parties later agreed to settle out of court through the intervention of former President Goodluck Jonathan,” Kadiri said. He noted that the steel company was built by Tyanjpromexport (TPE) of Russia and later Global Infrastructure, an India firm that took over the management. He said that the money needed to complete the steel company was huge though the project was less than five per cent completed. Kadiri said that when fully revived, the company would have over 30,000 persons in its workforce. Itopa, ISSSAN President also

appealed to Buhari not to delay in resolving the financial issue in the bill and ensure commencement of operations. According to Itopa, out of the 43 component units of the company, the primary units to be completed for the steel company to function optimally are cokeoven, black furnace, steel making shop and power plant. “If all these equipment are put in place, Ajaokuta will be set for operations and we will get raw materials to produce steel from the National Iron Ore Mining Company, Itakpe in Kogi. The union leader said that it was important to revive the steel company inaugurated by the late President Shehu Shagari, noting that it had important areas such as light section mill, wire rod mill, billet, medium section and structural mill. According to him, the medium section and structural mill could be used to produce the rail lines in the country. He urged Buhari to sign the bill to enable the company to create thousands of jobs. (NAN)

the Anchor Borrowers Programme in agriculture.” Said the Minister. On social investments, Ngige said the Home Grown School Feeding Programme has been complementing the free education policy at the primary and junior secondary school levels while stemming the incidence of school dropout which he identified as precursor to child labour. The programme he added has captured about N10 million school children in 25 states of the federation. Identifying poverty, disease and ignorance as an evil triad that must be fought together, he further gave insight into other social investment programmes such as the N-Power under which the Federal Government has employed 500,000 graduates, the N-Build where 50,000 are engaged, the N-Agro, N-Knowledge, N-Health, and N-Build where hundreds of thousands are also employed. He also informed the gathering of the Government Enterprises and Empowerment Programme which makes interest-free loans available to small businesses as well as the National Cash Transfer programme (Conditional and Unconditional) to over 1million vulnerable and poor Nigerians, besides the thousands already benefitting from similar programmes by the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) According to the minister, the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan would have been impossible without the anti-corruption measures such as the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and the whistle blowing policy which government put in place, thus, shutting down leakages and easing the recovery of stolen funds as well as the efforts of the anti-corruption agencies primed for zerocorruption agenda of the government. Ngige summarized that the efforts of the Buhari administration in the last four years has charted a new course for Nigeria with the results of that giant strides made manifest in core sectors of agriculture, anti-corruption , employment generation, infrastructural development and war on insurgency . He warned, “Africa will remain the hewers of wood and fetchers of water, (quoting late Emperor Hallie Selassie of Ethiopia) if drastic measures are not taken by the leaders to fiercely tackle myriads of teething underdevelopment scourge assailing the continent.” Similarly, a co-discussant and the Chairperson of Business Africa, Mrs. Jackline Mugo called for a common front to solve Africa’s numerous challenges. She also pushed for a change in Africa’s social dialogue as it relates to labour and employment so as to fully tap the full benefits of the African population, which she termed her wealth. Mugo further said Africa can leapfrog from its present commodity dependency if each of the fifty-four countries is able to concentrate on the production of a single product and achieve an optimal international competitive advantage. “You can imagine what it means to have over fifty products from Africa,” arguing it was the route the Asians took. In another move, the Ministers have nominated Nigeria as one of the Titulars for Africa in the Governning Board of the ILO. Nigeria emerged from West Africa due to her performance since 2017 when Africa put her forward as a Deputy Titular. The Ministers further took particular note of the leading voice which Nigeria’s Minister of Labour and Employment has given to Africa, the very fact that made the ILO elevate him to head government side of the Tripartite even as a Deputy.

But now agric agencies only beg for more from government

According to a report published by Daily Times on April 10, 1951, when the Nigerian Groundnut Marketing Board met in Kaduna, it decided, to among other things, allocate approximately the sum of 700,000 Pounds to the Northern Region Production Development Board, out of the Board’s surplus for the 1950-1951 selling season. Going by today’s exchange rate, 700,000 Pounds is roughly equivalent to N332.5million at N475 per one British Pound. Such huge amount was part of the surplus made from a ground production development Board in this same Nigeria, years ago. According to the Daily Times story, ”The Board whose decisions with regards to funds for regional production development were approved by the Groundnut Representative Committee at a later meeting, indicated that this sum represents 22 and half percent of its total margin for the 1049-1950 crop. “It has authorized the immediate payment of 500,000 Pounds to the Northern Regional Production Development Board pending the final computation on the basis of 22 and half percent “These are quite apart from all previous allocations which the Board has decided should be regarded as covering the surpluses accruing to the Groundnut Board in operations up to and including 1948-49 season. “It also decided that all those previous and initial allocations must be revised in the light of actual surpluses accruing to the Board during those seasons,” the report stated. There was a time this country, Nigeria was actually a great nation, but not anymore. Nigeria has been raped repeatedly by her elites, leaders who have stolen the nation blind, so much so that the Nigerian citizens speaks evil and rains more curses on the nation than on their individual enemies. If you want to know how much Nigerians hate the country currently, go to government ministries, departments and agencies. The average Nigerian civil servant is angry, including those at the corridors of

power because, no matter how much you are given or you stole, there is no satisfaction. Even if you have N1billion, it is not enough to go round the hundreds of people that approach you daily for support. So you get angry, even though you know that most of those approaching you for help have the right to do so, being your legitimate relatives. Therefore, both the haves and the have-nots are under pressure, intense pressure. So they curse the nation, her leaders and everybody. What really happened to us? How did we get to where we are now, from an enviable position as the giant of Africa, a few years ago? In the early 1900s, a few decades ago, Nigeria was governed through regionalism. The regions were like independent countries that formed alliance to have a central government that would take care of a few issues like defense, customs, immigration, and such things. Then things were fine. There were healthy competitions among the regions on growth and development. To sustain itself and contribute meaningfully to the central government, each regional government identified what was best investment opportunities for the people and put their hearts in them/ In the case of Northern region, it was agriculture, like the others. It was cash crops but the chief of them was groundnut which prompted entrepreneurs like Dantata and co to invest heavily on groundnuts and in the process built the famous groundnut pyramids. It later became the main stay of the life in the region. Today however, Nigeria is almost gone. Its leaders have colluded to strip the nation naked following the advent of oil money. There is no longer surplus in national budgets. Rather, we as a nation borrow to feed our people. Our leaders steal the money, oil rent, ship the money abroad into private bank accounts. Our leaders then travel back to the countries where our money is kept and celebrate when they borrow for consumption. And you are angry at Chinua Achebe when he said that ‘There was a country,”? You are not serious.
