Senate probes suspicious death Short News Edo political crisis self-inflicted – APC chieftain of Nigerians in South Africa Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate has implored the South African authority to as a matter of necessity conduct a holistic investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Ndubuisi-Chukwu and other Nigerians who have died in South Africa. Also, the Senate urged the federal government not to relent in its efforts to unravel the cause of Mrs. NdubuisiChukwu’s death and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to invite Nigeria’s ambassador to South Africa and South Africa’s ambassador to Nigeria to appear before a high powered committee to look

into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Ndubuisi-Chukwu It expressed worry by the increasing cases of death of Nigerians in South Africa in recent times. These resolutions were reached at plenary on Wednesday after a thorough deliberation on a point of order raised by the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South). Leading the debate on the motion, Sen. Abaribe said Mrs. Ndubusi-Chukwu, a deputy director-general of the Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria was in South Africa to attend the conference of the African Insurance Organisation, but was found dead in her hotel room in Johannesburg on

June 13. According to him, it was earlier suspected that she died of cardiac arrest, but an autopsy report later proved the death was unnatural. In their contributions to the matter, Senators Babba Kaita, Philip Aduda, Emmanuel Bwacha, Ifeanyi Ubah, Eyakenyi Akon Etim and Kalu Orji Uzor condemned in very strong terms the unfortunate murder of Mrs. Ndubuisi-Chukwu and stressed the need for Nigeria to review its foreign policy. President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, who warned South Africa not to take Nigeria for granted, said this is one death too many and cannot be swept under the carpet.

A stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo state, Peter Esele, has decried the political crisis rocking the state chapter of the party, describing it as self- inflicted. Esele made the assertion in an interview in Benin on Wednesday. The APC governorship aspirant in the 2016 poll, said that the differences were personal and selfish rather than ideological or issues-based. “It is sad to see that the present disagreement in the party is all about ego and who gets what,” he said and advised the people of Edo state to be vigilant and learn to ask questions in order to have an informed opinion rather than taking sides blindly. He said that “people should ask if this disagreement in Edo state is about healthcare, education or infrastructure for the people. I will be interested in seeing politicians quarrel or disagree on issues that affect the common man and not issues of ego or playing to the gallery. “Initially, they said Gov. Godwin Obaseki is the best thing to happen to Edo state, now the same people who brought him are the ones saying he should go. I want to see disagreements among politicians being based on ideas.” The former labour leader also called for the speedy resolution of the crisis over the inauguration of the state House of Assembly for the progress and development of the state. He opined that the court remains the best place to resolve the crisis that arose from the inauguration, adding that “if a matter suits you, you will interpret it in a way that everybody thinks it is a crime. Why don’t we ask ourselves these questions? The House was inaugurated based on a letter of proclamation transmitted to the clerk of the House, so what is next? What we should ask ourselves is whether the inauguration was wrong. If it is wrong, we go to court and if the court then says that the act is illegal, then we start all over again.” He advised that every action in a democracy must be based on the rule of law, insisting that “we can disagree and argue over issues. That is why we have the judiciary as the arbiter to interpret the law. “I do not subscribe to the issue being taken to the National Assembly because the members there are all politicians and the issue of interest would come to play.”

Call for Adeboye’s suspension ill-advised, PFN tells protesters Titus Akhigbe, Benin

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) yesterday, said those calling for the suspension of the founder and General Overseer of the Redeem Christian Church of God -RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye for not taking a stand on Ruga and Leah Sharibu’s abduction were ill-advised. President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Dr. Felix Omobude disclosed this while addressing newsmen in Benin City. “I think the suggestion for Pastor Enoch Adeboye to be suspended by the PFN is ill-advised. While PFN respects the rights of the people to protest, but we think that protests should be done justly and those who embarked on protests should conduct their investigation properly before embarking on it,” Omobude said. He said while the PFN also acknowledges the rights of people to protest, such protests should be directed at the appropriate quarters and not to be targeted at individuals. “While acknowledging the right to protest, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) appreciates the concern by the group, but it must note that its action will be better achieved if directed at the appropriate quarters and not persons and organizations that have already highly invested in the process of bringing

resolution to the issues raised,” the PFN president said. Omobude said those who are accusing Adeboye of complicity are not abreast with the realities on ground and how often he has stood up against injustice and also how much he (Adeboye) has contributed to the rehabilitations of the victims of insurgency in the country. “The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) notes with concern, reports of a protest at the Redemption Camp of the Redeemed Christian Church of God said to have been organized by some musicians, asking our leader, Pastor Enoch Adeboye to speak up against injustice. “The group is also said to have called on the PFN to suspend Pastor Adeboye for alleged complicity on a matter completely outside his brief. For the avoidance of doubt and confusion that might have precipitated the unfortunate action embarked upon by this group, the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) wishes to set the record straight with respect to the following. “The Redeemed Christian Church of God is a founding member of the PFN and has remained loyal, active and supportive of all her actions and activities.Pastor Enoch Adeboye, general overseer in his own right, is a past president of the PFN having led the fellowship from 1992-1995. “He remains an active member of the national advisory council, the apex

administrative organ of the fellowship. Pastor Adeboye has been a part of the visioning and policy formulation process of the PFN, signing on to all the statements issued by the PFN on issues of national affairs. “On the issues of concern to the group, Pastor Adeboye’s positions are exactly as have been canvassed, on numerous occasions by the PFN. The PFN, in private and public statements has spoken out on the state of insecurity in the country, vigorously campaigned for the release of Leah Sharibu and engaging with the government to underline her serious concern about these issues. “Pastor Adeboye continues to play a leading role in all our private and public engagement with the government over these issues. Pastor Adeboye and the Redeemed Christian Church of God are very loyal, dedicated and committed members of PFN. You know that the PFN has been very vocal in national issues and all our key leaders, including Pastor Adeboye are part of whatever press release we made and the stand of the PFN. “Adeboye has contributed in counsel, in ideas and has always contributed to anything that PFN does. PFN leaders at a point reasoned that if we allowed every leader to be speaking on issues, we could be singing a discordant tune. Therefore, PFN has been speaking on national issues on behalf of its leaders.

A grieving daughter, Blessing Ephraim yesterday called on the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu to intervene in the unravelling of the circumstances that led to the murder of her mother, Helen Okoro. Blessing, the daughter of the deceased, also alleged that the police have allegedly refused to direct for the release of the body of her mother for burial as ordered by Justice Adebukola Banjoko of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Jabi, Abuja. Addressing the press in Abuja yesterday, Blessing called on President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the police inspector general to obey the court order by re-arresting and prosecuting the suspects. She stated that “my mum’s remains has been in the mortuary for almost two years and the bills are accumulating and the force legal department is frustrating the case. My mother was killed because she refused to sell her ancestral land; all I want is justice.” She also explained that her mother’s body is still deposited at the Arochukwu General Hospital in Abia state since December, 2017, after she was reportedly killed over a land tussle involving one Tony Ndu and 12 others, who were indicted by the police in Abia state which investigated the incident. The men were detained for over six months, but were released when the case file was transferred to the force headquarters. Also speaking, lawyer to the daughter of the deceased, Maxwell Opara, explained that attempts to enforce the court order were rebuffed by the police legal department. The activist also stated that the police have refused to prosecute the 13 men indicted for the murder of Mrs. Okoro, adding that the police legal department claims that the case file is missing. The lawyer presented the court order in suit number FCT/M/5352/2019, dated June 11, 2019, directing the police to release Mrs. Okoro’s remains for internment. It reads: “Leave is granted directing the Nigeria Police to release to the family of late Mrs. Helen Okoro the receipt or tag with the tag number 16051, the corpse of late Okoro, issued by the Arochukwu General Hospital, Abia state, where the corpse was deposited which was collected and kept by the Nigeria Police, Arochukwu Police Division, Abia state.

Delta to set up education endowment fund - Okowa Nosa Akenzua, Asaba Delta state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa has disclosed that as part of efforts to move the state’s education sector forward, the state government would soon establish an education endowment fund for schools in the state. The governor who disclosed this on Wednesday in Asaba at the annual conference/ general meeting of the Institute of Strategic Management, Nigeria Delta state chapter, explained that since the education sector was the backbone of any society, the state government will set up the endowment fund to ensure that Deltans have access to quality education under a conducive learning environment. He stated that “the education sector is very vital to our economy as it’s the breeding ground where our doctors, lawyers even future governors are groomed and nurtured and if we are faced with recession again, subventions to schools will be reduced and the maintenance of our schools and ensuring that our students get the best education will be restricted. “But, if our schools had endowment funds, with or without allocation the schools will be well taken care of. So, with that in mind, the state government will soon be establishing the education endowment fund for schools across the state.” The governor, represented by the Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Patrick Muoboghare also emphasized the importance of partnership between the state government and the private sector to improve the economy of the state. He explained that the development of any sector cannot be achieved by the government alone, but requires the inputs and support of the private sector, adding that “our economy although, recovering from recession can only improve when investments are brought into our country and policies that will strategically strengthened our economy are implemented. “As a government, we have been doing our very best to improve our economy and strengthen our infrastructure, but we cannot do it alone. We not only need the partnership of the private sector, but we have to ensure that policies that have been strategically designed to improve our economy are implemented. We do not just need strategists, we need to make policies that are innovative and are in line with global trends.”

AfCFTA: For Nigeria, it’s ruin or glory The race for competitiveness is every bit as fierce as the competition among companies in the marketplace. Countries compete for investment, talent, growth, and opportunity in a globalized world, and those that are pushed out of the running surrender the greatest prize of all: human development, prosperity, and happiness for their people” – Sheikh Muhammad Bin Rasheed Al Maktoum (Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates) They say the best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The Second best time, of course is today. By signing the African Free Trade deal Nigeria has done the inevitable thing. And also the right thing. I need not commend the president because it was a fait accompli. If we hadn’t signed we would have been Brexited, sorry Naijexited. For us that will mean even goods produced locally in Gabon, Guinea, and Zambia will be dumped here via our porous borders. It will mean economic collapse because no country in Africa can be an island and already we know we have problems in this area. The alternative is the right thing and that is what we have done.

Tope Fasua

AfCFTA SHOULD HAVE BEEN NIGERIA’S BABY The reason why I reserve any commendations to government is that we ought to have been the country driving this process, rather than being the good-fornothing overgrown kindergarten bully trying to hold everyone back. We have lost the battle, at least psychologically, but could still win the war. Ghana positioned herself and today hosts the secretariat. If nothing, that is a lot of tourism money that will be drawn to Ghana, especially from Nigeria where many people in government service are getting ready, smacking their lips for the deluge of trips for meetings and conferences – which is what we know how to do best. We have been running this mode since independence, throwing hardearned money at developing countries for no value-add. We are getting ready to do the same, even among our peers and junior sisters in Africa. We should have led the idea, being a major

definer of the modus operandi and stamped the whole shebang with our imprimatur. We should have been the ones really leading most of Africa into productivity, cooperation and greatness. We should have been the ones – with our purported largest economy and population in Africa – calling for African unity on the platform and premise of tangible trade. We shouldn’t have gone to sleep, hoping the idea shall not come to reality, or shilly-shallied when it seemed we hadn’t a choice and that even Africa was ready to move ahead without us. There is a first-mover advantage we have now lost, and like for most initiatives, we may now have to pick the crumbs – if our usual mediocrity continues to rule us and if we do not readily change our ways, our profligate, unserious, wasteful ways, immediately. WELCOME AN ERA OF DISCIPLINE – IF WE HAD THE VISION For we are now going into a disciplinary era. We must keep inflation relatively low if we are to compete with our goods within Africa. We must show discipline and not continue with our profligate, myopic ways if we are to save ourselves from ruin. This means we must organize ourselves and become productive. We must get up to the level of Ghana when it comes to packaging for example. You’ll be shocked how advanced and meticulous they are. And North African countries are a different ball game entirely. South Africa is at European standards. The tussle and the war is between Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria but we must look out for a few other ambitious and strategic ones like small Botswana. Rwanda, Uganda, Cote D’Ivoire who can leverage some of their key products and get their people prosperous while we are sleeping. The competition is going to soon be about per capita incomes and bridging of income gaps. God forbid that our people continue to scatter all over Africa as modern slaves because of our visionlessness. I’ve heard it said that we shouldn’t have signed because we have nothing to sell. Yes we don’t presently but now is the time for a sea change in economic policy. We may not have had anything to sell but trust us, we

are ready to buy anything from anywhere to satisfy our curiosity and the constant quest for comfort and convenience by our few elites who don’t care that we now have the highest levels of inequality in the world. We should therefore hanker down, and produce competitive goods and services to sell. Some also say we don’t have electricity and we should first start from there. I do not believe we should put everything on hold and hope to first fix electricity before doing the needful. We can walk and chew gum at the same time. I have advocated what I know to be the only solution to our electricity problems – that we do it ourselves using our youthful energy. No amount of imported power plants will do the trick for us. I have also advocated that we develop this sense of urgency to grow the economy at double digit rate, by ramping up productivity rapidly. This will not be possible except inflation remained at double digit too. A period of rapid economic growth is also a period for high inflation. However, we can quickly ride the tide because most of the fine details of the trade agreement may take at least 5-10 years to be put together. LET’S GET PRODUCTIVE At the end of the day, the strength of a country’s currency depends on the quality of the goods it produces and sells in exchange for imports, but at the end of the day, it is down to the per capita productivity of the people. In order to compete in a free trade zone Africa, we have to ramp up productivity big time and urgently too. But with 13.2 million of our children walking the streets, with 30 million extra in school and not being taught, Nigeria’s foolhardy elitist modern may blow up in her face. By disconnecting so many of our children and youth from a modern understanding of productivity, and sub-optimizing the potentials of millions more, we have done in this country a long time ago. Can we find an opportunity to rise within the short window we have? A state of emergency is required not only in education but also in the general orientation of Nigerians, many of whom now believe in getting paid for doing nothing, or as little as possible. A lot of Nigerians now feel

entitled to the good life. Even most of those employed by government resume daily, not to perform service to the people, but to see how much money they can corner for themselves. On the matter of per capita productivity Nigeria has a herculean task on hand and without solving it, we cannot take our rightful place in this trade agreement. STUDY EUROPEAN UNION – ESPECIALLY GREECE AND GERMANY The underbelly of the Nigerian economy will now be exposed if we don’t buckle up and act fast. But it is also the greatest opportunity we could ever have. We should study what happened between Greece and Germany to understand the impact of laziness and slothfulness when a country enters a free trade agreement and what focus, strategy, discipline, hard work, unity, and self-motivation can achieve also. Greece was a high inflation economy with high deficits and debts. Nigeria should mind its debts especially if they are not contributing remarkably to economic growth. Anyway, Greece sells tourism and little else. Germany produces German machines – from the best cars in the world to the best industrial machines. What the low domestic inflation in Germany means is that she is able to produce goods cheaper and sell cheaper within Europe, while other countries like Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain and others have to worry about the need to increase wages which further price most of what they trade out of the market. Other competitors for trade must be considered. Our African Trade Agreement does not stop the Americans or Europeans from trading with African countries. In fact one of the scariest thing around that agreement is the involvement of Europe which we hear has given out $40bn to African countries to accelerate the deal. Why? What is in it for them legally? Why are they so concerned? Is France really going to use her francophone former colonies to push in goods to the whole of Africa? What will Britain also do in retaliation now that she is in a quandary over Brexit and gasping for air anywhere she can find some?

Munching sour Nigeria over delicious pounded yam

Festus Adedayo

Wednesday last week looked like a perfect day to escape from all the spirit-sagging, smelly stories oozing out of Nigeria. You could suffocate amid its hovering hail. Attacks against Muhammadu Buhari and his government’s proposal of a cattle colony for Fulani cattle tenderers in all the 36 states of the federation were clinical blows on such primitive, self-serving policy. Professor Wole Soyinka’s submission at the cusp of the debate, to me, was the most profound. How can a government value the lives of cows above its citizens’? How come the state under Buhari had never arraigned even a single one of these Fulani killers terrorizing Nigeria in years? The latest is that a Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) is threatening Nigeria that there will be no peace for us all over the suspension of the rheum called Fulani Ruga settlement. This is a policy conceived purely from the narrowest of minds. Bafflingly, the Nigerian state has no reply to the threats. That, to me, is the absurd equation Nigeria has been battling under this Buhari. Trending with equal vehemence were the arrows shot at Biodun Fatoyinbo, Pastor of COZA church who is embroiled in rape allegations from actress Busola Dakolo. If you have ever been a victim of fiery but illogical angers of a Roman mob like the Twitter and social media army in Nigeria, many of whom are paid recruits of principals who exploit their joblessness for pittances, you would be circumspect in apportioning blame on Fatoyinbo or Dakolo. So when Ebenezer Obadare, my friend and Professor of Sociology at the University of Kansas, United States of America, who I call Ebeno, came to town the day before, it was for me an opportunity to escape the maddening narratives that have become Nigeria’s paterfamilias. It was also a perfect meander off having to comment weekly on

the same idiotic, primitive incompetence and ethnic irredentism that have detained Nigeria in the last few years. It was a sure way of escaping the depthless arguments on parade over the twin issues on the social media. I have known Ebeno for about 35 years now, our paths having crossed when he was a student of Ilesa Grammar School and I, Cherubim and Seraphim High School, both in Ilesa, Osun State. Obadare is one of Nigeria’s priceless exports to the West and I dare say, about the most profound academic of my generation. Formerly teacher at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, he later graduated from the London School of Economics with a doctorate in Sociology. He is a civil society scholar, with particular interest in informal strategies of resistance under changing dynamics of rule. He has also done extensive researches in and published on religion and politics, civic engagement, civic service and citizenship in Africa. He has written many academic books, sits on the editorial boards of prestigious journals across the world and his recent book entitled Pentecostal Republic: Religion and the Struggle for State Power in Nigeria dissects the historical plague of religious divisions that has become almost like a periodic affliction in Nigeria. According to him in the book, the tensions that have intensified in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, now manifest in the religious and nihilistic warfare of Boko Haram, are part of the narrative of how religion has become a potent weapon in explaining Nigerian politics and polity. In the book, he also explores needless Christian-Muslim supremacy struggles and arrived at an intersection of how religion has become an integral tool of Nigeria’s democratic process. Obadare is a bold and assertive scholar who has made one of the most controversial

submissions yet on the dalliance between religion and politics. I had jokingly told him that I must not be seen in his company or else Daddy G.O. would order me suspended from The Redeemed Christian Church of God like Buhari did Ruga. Obadare has written many singeing, against-method criticisms of Pastor E.A. Adeboye that border on the atheism of Fredrich Nietzsche, Martin Heidegger and Soren Kiekergard. He also holds views on sexuality, same sex practice, religion and the like that are acutely atypical. On arrival in Lagos from the US, Nigeria had given Obadare her raw baptism. A friend’s place he holed up suddenly succumbed to Nigeria’s electricity affliction which literally blew up his laptop. A visit to the Computer Village couldn’t properly cure the malady so we had come to Ibadan’s Shoprite seeking healing. Dr. Lasisi Olagunju, Tribune’s restless weekly opinion interventionist, joined the ensemble. You could be sure he coveted a copy of Obadare’s recent sacrificial offering to the intellectual groove on Pentecostalism. At the payment point, the joke that Pentecostalism had become crept in. Obadare told the lady who manned the point that I was a pastor. She asked, almost immediately, if I was of the COZA hue. We volunteered a rumbustious laugh. Obadare, later in the evening, watched as I walloped a braggy opponent in a game of squash. He thereafter invited me to a talk he was billed to deliver to graduate students of the University of Ibadan’s Department of Political Science the next day. Speaking on a topic he said was a slap-dash title called The academic craft, Obadare dwelled on ideas of how to be an academic, together with its accompanying qualifications of a moral canvass and infrastructural imperatives. According to him, the talk was cobbled together to

explain the academic in the academy, specifically outlining the tools that young scholars needed to stay afloat. To him, the necessity to fumigate the mind of the academy was an imperative. Obadare must have been aware that Nigerian scholarship is also afflicted, like every other thing bright and beautiful of yore, by the joke that Nigeria had become. Young and aspiring scholars are daily suffocated by Nigeria and becoming indistinguishable from politicians who wear on their lapels the prefix of Honourables. You know what Honourable means, I guess? This is the crop of Nigerians for whom honour is an anathema. Anyway, I learnt that Vice Chancellors also have Chiefs of Staff now and commandeer notorious sirens to blare atrociously before their convoys too, sending people scampering off the road. At the event, Obadare indeed roused the graduate students up on the tools necessary for their envisaged troubadour into the academy. The intersection I however found most gripping because of its universality is what he termed the concept of epistemic humility or modesty which is required from the academic. According to him, epistemic humility is an admission of the inherent contingency of things, an admission of the inadequacies of intellectual equipment for apprehending the world. Obadare said that, an awareness and admission of that inadequacy ought to force on the academic an attitude of humility. “That is why the most important word that should come out from the academic’s mouth ought to be ‘It appears as if’ or ‘it seems to me.’ He should eschew finality because he recognizes that the reality he is dealing with is contingent and the tools used to apprehend that reality, by definition, are inadequate. An admission of that ought to make the academic have epistemic modesty,” he said.

Senator, ex-gov’s son swell PDP guber aspirants list Tunde Opalana, Abuja A serving senator, Senator Douye Diri representing Bayelsa Central Senatorial District and a son of former Governor Idris Ibrahim of Kogi state, Abubakar Ibrahim have joined the list of aspirants jostling for the governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the November 16 polls. Both aspirants collected expression of interest and nomination form at the national secretariat of the PDP in Abuja on Wednesday. Sen. Diri said he is in the race because he wants to deepen the service that Governor Henry Seriake Dickson has given to the people of Bayelsa state in terms of health, education, security and infrastructure. He said he does not have any inordinate ambition, but service to all Bayelsans and service to the Ijaw ethnic nationality having held several positions in the state. Assuring that the primary to pick the party’s candidate will not be a do or die affair, Sen. Diri said he needs the understanding of all aspirants on board because the the primary election will be a family affair. “The primary is not a do or die affair; it is an intra-party election. It is a delegate election and so I will call on all my coaspirants that we avoid throwing tantrums at each other so that our family will be one when one man emerges so that we can all work in unison to defeat our opponent. “There are different caucuses, caucuses take decisions but mark you this is a party primary. And so nobody has said that anybody should not pick forms. If you look at the scroll back, our governor who is the head of the restoration government is still saying that it open to all restoration members. Also speaking to journalists, Abubakar Ibrahim said he was unhappy with the present state of both human and infrastructural decay in the state over the last three and half years.

He said that “there has been the issue of salaries, pension, education, health, infrastructure, agriculture to mention a few. We are now faced with a state that has so many problems. And that has necessitated my coming in to throw my hat into the ring so that we could make and change the narrative of what is going on presently in my state. “I hope to see a Kogi that is self-sufficient in the future; a state that will depend very little on the federal government in the sense that we have more than enough to run our state. I hope to see a Kogi where the workers are happy and paid as at when due. I want to see a Kogi that has is of good educational standard being uplifted. “By and large, I hope to see a Kogi that is better than what it currently is right now.” Abubakar said being a child of a former governor doesn’t stop him from contesting an election because the constitution allows him to vote and be voted for. “I have met the prerequisite in terms of education, being a Kogite and of age. I have all these to my kitty. I dont need to be a former governor’s son to run for an election in Kogi state,” he said, adding that it is not true that the party want to impose him on other aspirants. “My greatest crime now is being my father’s son. And when you look at it critically, even where we borrowed democracy from, George Bush (snr) was the 42nd President of the United States of America. George Bush (jnr) was the 44th President of the United States of America. Nobody had any issues with that. “Now let’s come back to Nigeria. Former Governor of Abia state, Theodore Orji’s son just became the speaker of the state. We have seen situations like that in Kwara state. “Let’s come back to Kogi state. We have found a situation where not only I being a former governor’s son running for governorship, there are two sons of a former governor also running for governorship election,” he said

ICPC recovers constituency project equipment in private home Isaac Job, Uyo The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission (ICPC) on Wednesday said it recovered a multi-million naira constituency project equipment stockpiled in a private home in Akwa Ibom state. It was gathered that the equipment were meant for a cottage hospital in Ukana. Essien Udim Local Government Area of the state. Speaking at a media briefing after he led journalists to evacuate and deliver the equipment, the state Commissioner of ICPC, Shola Shodipo, said the commission in the process of investigation discovered that the equipment meant for the cottage hospital since March 2018, were not actually delivered to the end users. He said “ICPC is interested in constituency projects and has set up tracking groups in 12 states of the federation. In the course of our assignment, we discovered that the equipment meant for the supply of three dialysis machines and other equipment for Ukana Cottage Hospital were not delivered. We found only one in a private place which was not delivered or put in place in the hospital.

“They were found in that building that we went to. These machines and other equipment were meant to be delivered since 2018.We have taken the equipment to the appropriate location. The equipment was supposed to help the community in the provision of health care delivery.” Fielding questions from journalists on who was involved in the alleged scam, Shodipo said “we are still in the process of investigation. I will not be able to tell for now, but I can tell you that the equipment was meant for the cottage hospital. A particular company was awarded the contract.” Consultant to the hospital, Dr. Mary Udoh, who received the equipment expressed appreciation to the ICPC for ensuring that the equipment were delivered to the hospital. She said the equipment would go a long way to facilitate healthcare delivery service to the communities. “On behalf of the hospital management, I want to say we are very happy receiving the equipment today and I want to thank the ICPC for this ensuring that the equipment were delivered to the right place. The equipment will help us in our service delivery to the people,” she added.

Tackling the menace of drug abuse in Nigeria The devastating consequences of drug use know no geographic, economic, social, or ethnic boundaries. Each year hundreds of thousands of people around the globe – rich, poor, educated, illiterate, male, female, and even young children die from drug abuse, and millions more are victims of addiction and drug-fueled violence. Beyond the toll drugs take on health and welfare, substance use disorders undermine economic development, diminishes social and political stability, and reduces security in countries and regions around the world. It is no longer news that 70% of youth in Nigeria today get themselves involved in one form of drug abuse or the other. Amidst the widespread commendations over the ban of codeine by the Federal Government, a new large-scale nationwide survey has revealed that drug use by people within the ages of 15 and 64 years in Nigeria is on the rise. A survey on drug use in Nigeria last year had revealed that the nation is breeding a wild generation of drug addicts. This gory state of affairs of substance abuse calls for the declaration of a state of emergency, considering the fact that the youth population is the fulcrum of national development. The nationwide survey by the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) funded by European Union (EU) in partnership with the Federal Government said 10.6 million Nigerians abused cannabis in 2018, while 4.6 million abused opiods. The report said that 2.4 million youths and adults also abused cough syrups with 92,000 more using cocaine. Other drugs commonly abused during the period are tranquilizers and sedatives, solvent, inhalers, amphetamines and prescription stimulants. This survey also reports that one of four drug users in Nigeria is a woman. Adding that the extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high compared to previous global annual prevalence of any drug abuse use. Basically, youths in the country inhale, inject and consume psychotic and narcotic substances and drugs at will, easily evading the scrutiny of a society distracted by economic malaise at the expense of their future wellbeing. Truth be told, the impact of drug abuse is lethal. Many families are contending with drug addicts; some of them have quit schooling and work; others are on the verge of lunacy or battling with acute diseases.

The number of drug users in Nigeria is estimated at 14.4 per cent or 14.3 million people aged between 15 and 64 years according to the results of the National Drug Use Survey. The data suggests that the prevalence of past year drug use in Nigeria is more than twice the global average of 5.6 per cent. The extent of drug use in Nigeria is comparatively high when compared with the 2016 global annual prevalence of any drug use of 5.6 per cent among the adult population. There is a gap in meeting the needs for treatment and care for people with drug use disorders. With close to three million Nigerians living with some level of drug dependence, the extremely limited availability of drug counselling and treatment services exacerbates this health crisis. This is indeed striking and alarming and calls for concerted efforts to mitigate the negative consequences of this rising menace on the health, socio-economic and security of our nation. Even though the Federal Government has over the years responded boldly to this global challenge with innovative, standard-setting drug demand reduction programs, we are of the opinion that there is need to solve the problem. Awareness programmes need to be developed to address the perception of stigma among the youth and their families over substance use and to remove barriers towards seeking care for these problems. These programmes should also address the inability of the youth to perceive addictive behaviours as a health risk. Parents and support persons’ involvement and engagement in youth programmes should be strengthened further as it improves communication and better decision-making for youth health issues. Family-based prevention programmes emphasising parenting skills, training or improving family functioning, communication and family rules regarding substance abuse needs to be introduced. Also, teachers are a major source of information to young people. Hence, strengthening the role and performance of educational institutions, ensuring availability of counselling services, gender sensitivity issues, making life skills courses a part of curriculum are required for health and welfare of young people. Most importantly, in all youth related programmes, young people should be involved and engaged to empower them to take informed decisions.

Headed by former Senate President and the Secretary to the PDP Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara, the committee was charged to investigate and find out whether there is any involvement of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the decision taken by PDP assembly members. While inaugurating the committee, the PDP Deputy National Chairman, Elder Yemi Akinwonmi, who stood in for the national chairman said the committee should establish reasons for the action

taken by PDP lawmakers and identify individuals involved so that the party can create mutual and political atmosphere for reasonable interaction with National Assembly members. The committee members are also to find out and recommend ways to checkmate such tendencies in the future and ensure that all members work together to defend the interest of the party at all times and under whatever circumstance. “The national executive committee and the national working committee and indeed, the party have the highest confidence and optimism that you will work for the actualization of the terms of reference with the intent of defending and moving the party forward,” he added. Akinwonmi said setting up the committee is a display of PDP’s internal democracy, assuring that the committee will resolve the issues by giving persons involved fair hearing, adding that members

are committed party members and eminent personalities who have served the nation through the party in different capacities. Other members of the committee are Sen. Ben Obi, Sen.Ibrahim Mantu, Sen. Stella Omu, Sen. Abdul Ningi, Yunana Iliya, Margaret Icheen, Hassan Hyatt, and Austin Opara while Prof. Wale Oladipo is the secretary of the committee Responding, the committee Chairman, Sen.

That is where politics starts and ends. So we will go in there and unearth what happened and even before three weeks get back to the party,” he said.

complete secretariat complex Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin

Kwara state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has approved the immediate release of N350million for the completion of the new Kwara state secretariat complex in Ilorin. Gov. AbdulRazaq approved the fund after securing a discount of N50million from the contractors who were being owed N515million out of the N1.38billion total contract sum. The contract was awarded by the administration of former Governor Abdulfatai Ahmed. “Gov. AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq felt a need to urgently complete the project for the use of civil servants even as he pushed for heavy discount from the contractors. “As a result, the governor has approved the release of N350million with which the contractors will finish the work. They will receive N81million after the work is satisfactorily done. That would leave them with the (third payment) retention fee of N34million after six months,” said a statement by Rafiu Ajakaye, the chief press secretary to the governor. The statement said the governor is alarmed that some of the state’s civil servants are still working from rented accommodation, 52 years after Kwara state was created. Lead consultant to the project, Makanjuola Kayode, said the four-block secretariat complex will be ready by August 30 and that each of the blocks has 76 office spaces. Makanjuola thanked the governor for approving the prompt completion of the project.

PDP trying to stall tribunal proceedings, Short News Kogi: Gov. Bello vows to win re-election Lalong’s counsel alleges Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos Lawyers representing Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state and the All Progressive Congress (APC) at the governorship tribunal on Wednesday have accused the counsels of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of attempting to stall the proceedings of the tribunal. Counsel to the (APC), Garba Pwul (SAN) while speaking with journalists after the tribunal sitting yesterday, expressed his dissatisfaction over the lackadaisical attitude the petitioners were showing in pursuing their case. “Apart from tendering documents before the tribunal, the petitioners are not ready to continue with the proceedings. It is frustrating that it is the petitioners who are complaining, they are the ones who have dragged us before the tribunal to challenge the election, yet they are the ones derailing the proceedings.

“We are ready to continue with the proceedings and we advice that the petitioners become serious because they are not up and doing. We want a serious change of attitude,” he said. Our correspondent reports that the PDP and its governorship candidate, Senator Jeremiah Useni had dragged Gov. Lalong before the tribunal challenging his competence and victory at the 2019 gubernatorial elections. Counsel to Gov. Lalong, Pius Akubo on his part also expressed sadness that the petitioner’s counsels were not ready to proceed with the case, advising the petitioners to put their house in order and come ready to continue with their case. “We came with renewed energy to continue with the case, but unfortunately, the petitioners were not ready to proceed, they stated that their witnesses were not readily available. “We express our profound

disaffection concerning the patent inability by the petitioners to proceed with their case. By nature, this case is time sensitive, therefore, we don’t have time; we have made our point to the tribunal and it was well taken. We advise that the petitioners put their house in order and come ready tomorrow,” he said. Counsel to the petitioner, Mike Ozokheme (SAN) however, denied the allegation of trying to stall proceedings at the tribunal, stating that they have so far called 66 witnesses and tendered over 106 documents before the tribunal. Ozokheme said that they were able to achieve this feat in just 10 days, stating that they were ready to continue with the case immediately their witnesses were ready to testify before the tribunal. Chairman of the tribunal has since adjourned the matter to July 11 to enable the petitioners present additional witnesses before the tribunal.

Governor Yahaya Bello has debunked all insinuation of crack in the Kogi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), insisting that APC is united and a winning party in the state.

Diezani losses Port - Harcourt properties to FG Peter Fowoyo, Lagos

A Federal High Court, Ikoyi, Lagos on Tuesday ordered the final forfeiture of a property linked to the former Minister of Petroleum, Dr. Diezani Allison Madueke to the federal government. Justice Austin Chuka Obiozor, made the order of final forfeiture of the said property situated at Port Harcourt, Rivers state while granting an application brought before him to that effect by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The said property is located at Plot 9, Azikiwe Road, Old GRA, Port Harcourt and UAC property, Force Avenue, Port-Harcourt, Rivers state. Justice Obiozor had on April 14 granted an interim forfeiture of the said property, after he granted the EFCC ex parte application. The court had ordered the EFCC to publish the said order in a national newspaper for Diezani or any other interested party or persons to show cause why the property should not be

finally forfeited to the federal government. At the resumed hearing, EFCCcounsel, Ebuka Okongwu, informed the court that the said interim order has been published in The Nation newspaper of April 15, adding that nobody or party has filed any counter-application. He also told the court that the application for the final forfeiture of the said property to the federal government was pursuant to Section 17 of the Advance Fee Fraud Act and therefore, urged the court to grant the application. However, Donald Amangbo and Sequoyah Properties Limited, who are the second and third respondents in the suit respectively, filed a counter -application through their lawyer, but told the court that they are not opposing the application for final forfeiture of the property. The lawyer however, informed the court that he has filed a counter-affidavit dated June 7 without any exhibit and written addresses to the application. However, Justice Obiozor held that “sequel to the order of interim forfeiture of order granted in consistence with the Section 17 of

the Advance Fee Fraud Act, 2014, the court directed the applicant to publish the order in a national newspaper, especially in Port-Harcourt and Lagos, the idea is to afford any party fair hearing. “I see that the order is complied with in the applicant’s exhibit EFCC 22, attached with the motion on notice for final forfeiture. I also know that by the consequence of the publication, the second and third respondents filed a counter, showing that they are only concerned but not opposed to the final forfeiture of the properties. “In the absence of no any counter from the respondents, I have no reason not to grant this application. Upon careful appraisal of the applicant’s motion on notice for final forfeiture before me, I found that the properties of the respondents constitute proceeds of unlawful act. “The second and third respondents are not challenging the application and the first respondent opted out of the proceeding. The applicant (EFCC) has discharged the burden of prove on it, consequently, the prayer of the applicant succeeds.”

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Adamawa state has arrested an alleged fake optometrist operating in Yola, the state capital. Addressing newsmen on Tuesday in Yola, the state Commandant of the corps, Nuraddeen Abdullahi, said the suspect, Imuere Ejiro, before his arrest was allegedly rendering services in two private clinics in Yola. Abdullahi said the suspect was arrested in possession of photocopies of academic qualification belonging to his younger brother, adding that the suspect was once arrested in Lagos by the Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians’ Registration Board of Nigeria which fined him N200, 000. The commandant, who called for more public support to security agencies in the state, said there was a joint operation going on with other agencies to make things difficult for criminals in the state. “The NSCDC has also sent some of its personnel to training as AgroRangers to contain farmers/herders conflicts in the state,” Abdullahi said. Reacting to his arrest, the suspect said he operated in Taraba, Lagos and Adamawa states before his arrest. Ejiro, who insisted that he was a qualified optometrist, said his arrest in Lagos was because he was practicing without registration. “The board asked me to pay registration fee of N255, 000 and I have so far made part payment of N65, 000 to the board,” the suspect said. Meanwhile, the Adamawa state branch Chairman of the Nigerian Optometric Association, Dr. Okafor Ikechukwu, said the association has made contacts and discovered that the suspect was a quack. “He is a quack and impostor who has been defrauding citizens of Adamawa state of their hard earned money and at the same time putting their eye sight at risk by prescribing lens which is not licensed,” Ikechukwu said.

Psychologist worry over rising rate of suicide in Nigeria Motolani Oseni, Lagos

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lysi Regimen Global Limited, Adebukola Ayelabola, has expressed concern at the rate at which people commit suicide in Nigeria, explaining the need to curtail the ugly incident, especially amongst the youth. Ayebola said that it was in response to the unwholesome act that she launched a rescue centre to arrest the rampant suicide occurrence in the country occasioned by depression and stigmatization. Speaking to newsmen in Lagos, Ayelabola, a certified therapist and member of the American Board of Hypnotherapy (ABNLP), noted that mental or mind pain is considered less dramatic and of lesser importance when compared to physical pain. According to her, emotional and psychological pain is more common and much harder to bear. “As a general rule, it is difficult to talk about one’s challenges; emotional, psychological and social wise as people either do not understand or pretend not to understand these peculiar areas of challenges. “Suffice to say that whole mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood to adolescence and through adulthood. “I come from a part of the world where a considerable measure of stigmatization has been attached to mental illness and not just these, any protracted form of physical illness. “Lysi Regimen is a culmination of my life’s journey. But, most specifically, two major life-defining experiences have pushed me into the pursuit of this dream,” the psychologist explained. While narrating her experience and how her family lost her younger brother as a result of jaundice and the stigmatisation the family went through, she said that the rescue centre was one of the products of her experiences. She said that the “Rescue centre came to me in a dream. I woke up with three words deeply impressed into my consciousness; rescue, respite and resuscitate. “With this, I can confidently say that my focus is to see an emotionally and behaviourally healthy world of people living and functioning optimally for individual and communal productivity and progress through the use people, process and technology.

IATF2020 expects over $40bn trade deals, 10,000 participants - Afreximbank boss Motolani Oseni Prof. Benedict Oramah, President of the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), has said that the organisers of the Second Intra-African Trade Fair (IATF2020) expect it to surpass the achievements of the inaugural trade fair held in Cairo in 2018 by attracting 10,000 participants and generating intra-African trade and investment deals worth more than $40 billion. Prof. Oramah disclosed this at the formal launch of IATF2020 during the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Business Forum 2019 held on the sidelines of the 12th Extraordinary Summit of African Union (AU) Heads of State in Niamey recently. In a statement by the Director, Global Communications and Marketing of Afreximbank, Obi Emekekwue, stated that

Prof. Oramah told guests that the trade fair, scheduled for Kigali from 1 to 7 September 2020, would attract more than 1,100 exhibitors from over 55 countries. According to him, working with our esteemed partners, we will exceed the achievements of 2018. The Afreximbank boss, however, described IATF2018 as a resounding success, but said not in the colourful displays exhibited, but in the showcasing of the diversity of tradable goods by about 1,100 exhibitors from 45 countries and in the execution of deals worth about $32 billion. “That trade fair resulted in a Nigerian technology company winning a $100-million contract to provide technology-based solutions to the South Sudanese government; an Egyptian company winning contracts in many African countries to supply and install energy

generation and distribution equipment worth close to $1 billion; Egyptian and Tunisian companies signing a $50-million partnership deal to create a joint venture for assembling home appliances; and the signing of a $3-billion energy generation project between an Egyptian company and an African government, the largest-ever intra-African project executed exclusively by African entities, including financial institutions”, he explained. “The momentum created by the maiden IATF and the historic launch of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) will sustain the growth of cross-border trade and investments”, he affirmed. Also speaking, Amb. Albert Muchanga, the AU Commissioner for Trade and Industry, said that the IATF was one of a set of activities planned by the African Union Commission to support the implementation of the AfCFTA. The

others included the African Trade Observatory, a portal for real-time information on business opportunities. Soraya Hakuziyaremye, Minister of Trade and Industry of Rwanda, said that it was important for the African private sector to take advantage of IATF2020 to present and exchange their products and for entrepreneurs to use it to boost their visibility. The Second Intra-Africa Trade Fair (IATF2020), which will take place in Kigali from 1-7 September 2020, is expected to attract more than 1,100 exhibitors from 55 countries and to provide a platform for sharing trade, investment and market information. It will enable buyers and sellers, investors and countries to meet, discuss and conclude business deals as well as provide an opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their goods and services and to engage in business-to-business exchanges.

Why latest Windows 10 could break VPN of 50m users Ladesope Ladelokun Microsoft has confirmed that its latest Windows 10 update could break Virtual Private Networks (VPN) .The software giant says the problem affects the Remote Access Connection Services that Windows uses to manage connections to a VPN.

Remote Access Connection Manager (RASMAN) needs to run in the background for always-on VPNs to work, or VPN users who connect to the internet through dialup. There will be interference with users’ VPN connections should the service stop working. Microsoft said: “The Remote Access Connection Manager service may stop

working and you may receive the error “0×c0000005”.You may also receive an error in the Application section of Windows Logs in Event Viewer with Event ID 1000 referencing ‘svchost.exe Rasman and ‘rasman dll.” The issue only occurs when a VPN profile is configured as an Always On VPN (AOVPN) connection with or without

device tunnel. This does not affect manual only VPN profiles or connections.” According to Forbes, estimates that the issue could affect as many as 50 million users, and could be major sources worry for users who must use a VPN for businessrelated reasons.“We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in late July, said Microsoft.

Why we introduced corporate licensing regime in Ad industry - APCON boss Godwin Anyebe The Acting Registrar/CEO of the Advertising Practitioners Council of Nigeria (APCON), Ijedi Iyoha, has shed light on reasons why the Council introduced the corporate licensing regime to Nigeria’s advertising industry, saying that the policy was part of ongoing reforms aimed at improving upon value delivery, both at the domestic and international advertising levels. Speaking to newsmen recently in Lagos, she disclosed that the purpose of initiating the corporate licensing was to review entry qualifications into the profession, register domestic and international participation

and to ensure that registered practitioners receive the first option in employment considerations. According to her, the licensing regime would help ultimately in promoting local content, and in addition, ensure that proper sanctions are given when and where necessary, especially in financial transactions in the industry and to promote research. “Corporate Licensing as introduced by APCON stipulates that all categories of advertising organisations as listed in the APCON Code that engages in the business and practice of advertising for the purpose of gains or project shall be licensed by APCON (with the exclusion of Advertisers),

and all agencies have to apply for and obtain practice license from APCON to legalise the operations of the advertising agency or organisation. Without the license, the business of the agency will become illegal,” she emphasised. She noted that the council had recorded great achievements in its regulation of the affairs of Nigeria’s advertising industry, pointing out that the compliance level to APCON’s guidelines, rules and regulations are very high amongst registered advertising practitioners. “Where we record a high level of defaults are amongst those who engage in advertising quackery. We are working assiduously to rid the industry of such persons through

proper education or sensitisation. In cases of defiance or recalcitrance, we are compelled to seek for the prosecution of such persons,” she said. Mrs Iyoha further observed that APCON operations are presently hampered by a number of negative factors, including the absence of a Governing Council, inadequate funding and lack of physical presence in every State of the Federation. “The Council may well not be able to radically address the issues in its present circumstance; however, with resources available and at our disposal, determined not to be deterred. However, we are working with dexterity to discharge our statutory mandates in the areas we can”, she added.

Foundation (TEF) — Africa’s leading philanthropy committed to empowering entrepreneurs — to train, mentor and financially support 100,000 young entrepreneurs in Africa over 10 years towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. The TEF-UNDP Sahel Youth Entrepreneurship Programme, which is expected to mobilise support for businesses, aims to generate millions of new jobs and contribute at least $10 billion in new annual revenues across Africa. This was announced on Saturday at the 12th Extraordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union (AU), where TEF Founder, Tony Elumelu and UNDP Regional Director for Africa, Ahunna Eziakonwa joined African Presidents at the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Business Forum, where the agreement was signed. The President of Niger, H.E Mahamadou Issoufou joined UNDP and TEF to launch the programme. The partnership will target young Africans in under-served communities, starting with the Sahel, given the region’s opportunity as the youngest population in the world with 194 million people under 25 years of age (64.5per cent of the total population). The TEF-UNDP Sahel Youth Entrepreneurship Programme will be implemented through TEF’s flagship Entrepreneurship Programme, which has already benefited 7,520 local entrepreneurs across 54 African countries in just five years of existence. Similarly, the programme builds on UNDP’s YouthConnekt initiative. The aim is to increase job creation through dynamic entrepreneurship and create sustainable economic growth that anchors the development of communities and states. Speaking on the partnership, Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Regional Director for Africa, Ms Ahunna Eziakonwa said, “We see the Sahel as a land of many opportunities and investing in the youth is a precondition to stabilising the region. The youth should be at the heart of any development agenda. We need to invest in their potential, talent, energy and enthusiasm and create the opportunity for them to fully realize their dreams. That is why UNDP is co-creating development solutions by investing in entrepreneurship models to promote inclusive growth. Partnership with the Sahelian youth entrepreneur is a catalyst for transformation and sustainable development. We call on other private sector entities to join the Tony Elumelu Foundation to support young entrepreneurs.” On her part, CEO of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, Ifeyinwa Ugochukwu said, “Our partnership with UNDP is welcome and timely – it will directly assist entrepreneurial success in a number of fragile areas and is a testament to the validated approach to philanthropy we have pioneered. Africa needs partners that do not only believe in the potential of its private sector to champion economic development, but backs this with commitment. With this agreement, UNDP has proven to be a true partner to Africa’s entrepreneurs and has demonstrated its commitment to work with us to scale up the impact of this initiative and eliminate poverty on the continent”.

Ohaneze hails South East governors’ stand on Ruga, warns against anti Igbo comments by Igbos

Atiku Abubakar

Buhari’s group taunts Atiku over brief appearance of Nwabueze at election tribunal says it’s an attempt to whip up sentiments that won’t help him Stories by Patrick Okohue A pro-Buhari group, the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described as a charade the brief appearance, last week, of Professor Ben Nwabueze as lead counsel for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar during the sitting of the Presidential Election Tribunal, saying that the appearance of the erudite legal luminary was only aimed at creating sentiments, but that it cannot change Atiku’s fate at the Presidential Elections Tribunal. The BMO said, “Atiku Abubakar knows that indeed he lost the elections, but is only out to create sentiments in his favour, all of which cannot change the outcome of his loss at the recently held polls. “His use of Professor Ben Nwabueze, in a legal space where law, fact and logic are supreme and not emotions, is an orchestrated charade that would not change his loss at the poll, and his imminent loss at the Tribunal.” BMO in a statement signed by Niyi Akinsiju and Cassidy Madueke, it’s Chairman and Secretary respectively stated that Atiku, who lost to President Muhammadu Buhari during the recently held Presidential Elections had been making sentimental posturing aimed at attacking the legitimacy of the incumbent, knowing full well that he (Atiku) lost the elections. “Since he lost the Presidential elections, by almost four million votes,

Atiku has been in the habit of making posturing that attempt to press down a false narrative that though he would eventually lose at the Tribunal, he was rigged out. “He started with the fiction of a server that he claimed housed results where he won. It was so absurd because all the political parties in the country knew that there was no electronic transmission of results. In fact, INEC had informed the parties before the elections that there would be no such electronic transmission of results. “Atiku and his PDP’s insistence on a server was nothing more than a subterfuge, pulling wool over the eyes of Nigerians. His creation of this fiction was to sell a false narrative to Nigerians that he won the election - even when all facts and reality are showing the contrary.” The group stated that Atiku was also in the habit of making innuendos that suggested that the judiciary was compromised in the bid to set the ground ready for his loss at the tribunal and blame it on a fictitious compromise. “We have observed that Atiku has put out certain innuendos that suggest that the judiciary is under pressure, or that it has been compromised; all these are childish talk from a sore loser. It is clear from these that he already knows he has lost at the tribunal, as he has no case, but wants to provide a ground for people to believe he won,” the group said.

The Igbo Social cultural and political organization, Ohaneze Ndigbo has commended governors of South East states for their resolve not to release lands for the suspended Ruga Settlement Programme. The apex Igbo organisation, however, charged them to be more proactive than making statements and precepts. The Ohaneze Ndigbo which spoke through its deputy publicity secretary, Chuks Ibegbu, warned that no race is superior to another in Nigeria, advising that the same scale should be used for all Nigerians. The group commended the Senate President Ahmed Lawan for his pan- Nigeria view, which made him to initially appoint a government critique Dr. Festus Adedayo as his media aide before hawks made him reverse the appointment. Ohaneze further warned “some misled Igbo politicians to stop abusing their people because of temporary political positions they occupy. “This is in view of the statement by the National Organising Secretary of the APC, Mr Bediro that the Presidency in 2023 may elude the Igbos because they did not vote for President Buhari.” It wondered why a full blooded Igbo man could make such a statement, regretting “I don’t expect Igbos to be at the vanguard of such discouraging statements. The other time it was Rotimi Amaechi, Orji Uzor Kalu and then even Rochas Okorocha. “Some Igbos fully identified with Buhari and some others with Atiku just as some Northerners, Westerners and Niger Deltans did. “What is exceptional about Igbo position? When

John Nwodo the Yorubas rejected Obasanjo was he not made Nigeria’s President? Did the Niger Delta or the North lick the buttocks of power holders in Nigeria before their own became Nigeria’s President? Why must that of Igbo be different?” It added: “Nobody in the North or West or even Niger Delta will openly make such statements against their people even if their people are political imbeciles. “What has become of the courageous Igbo politicians we used to know in the past? Something must be wrong with the psyche of these people. May be some of them have other blood running in their veins.”

Ijegun Explosion: Former Lagos Assembly Deputy Chief Whip tasks govt on pipeline protection The immediate past Deputy Chief Whip of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Omotayo Oduntan Oyeledun has charged the government to ensure adequate security of gas pipelines across the nation to forestall explosion, adding that the emergency responders also needed to be bolstered. Oduntan who spoke when she visited Ijegun Pipeline explosion site, maintained that government both at the state and the federal needed to be proactive by providing adequate security for the protection of the pipeline networks across the country, as many of those who engage in the nefarious act are highly sophisticated and cannot be combated by unarmed residents. According to the former female legislator, the bunkerers will keep on coming to exploit vulnerable spot except if stiff security arrangements are put in place to halt them. “It is rather very unfortunate because over ten years ago similar thing happened in Ijegun and I know what the people of Ijegun went through then and we pray that such a thing should not happen again but you know these people engaged in this nefarious activities are sophisticated, they will not stop, if they are stopped in one place they move to another and it is very unfair that their eyes are now on Ijegun.

“Aside from their coming to do bunkering here you can see the extent of damage, a whole family perished in this tragedy and so many people lost their lives for something they don’t know nothing about, so we will now call on the Federal Government and the state to provide adequate security in Ijegun for all the pipelines here because I learnt this people have been here twice since the incident happened they would not stop. “It is only government that can take decisive action, so many people are involved in all these things, because they cannot just come into Ijegun without an insider or without the support of the security agency, they know about this thing, but look at the innocent lives that are lost now. “So I want to use this opportunity as a resident of Ijegun, a concerned citizen and as a former Honourable member that they should come to our aid, Kabiyesi too is not happy, the man has been going up and down, I don’t know what they expect him and his chiefs to do now, than for government to come to their aid and provide adequate security to ensure the that the areas are well secured to ensure such does not happen again. “Education on the pipeline areas in Ijegun is needed for land

speculators and the general public, I have been in Ijegun for over thirty years but I don’t know, so also many who bought land in the area construct houses to live in peace don’t know anything, government should come to our aid now. “Residents need to be watchful and be involved to ward off such people and report them, I know Ijegun people cannot combat these, so they need government aid because these people come with sophisticated weapons,” Oduntan counseled. She also lauded the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) General Manager, Dr. Oke Osanyintolu for prompt response to reduce causalities at the Ijegun fire scene, stating that the GM is an expert in handling such situation. Earlier, Hon. Oduntan paid courtesy call on the Onijegun of Ijegun kingdom, Oba Nureni Alani Akinremi Olomitutu at his palace to commiserate with him over the devastating fire incident in his domain. Chief Muyideen Shittu the Akeweje of Ijegun Kingdom, Arizona Adesulure and a group of women who are ardent followers of the lawmaker were also part of her entourage to the scene and the palace.

Fit-again Super Eagles star set to reignite Benfica career

Fit-again Super Eagles right-back Tyronne Ebuehi set to reignite Benfica career after returning to action from a cruciate ligament injury he suffered in a pre-season friendly last season. The 23-year-old Nigeria international joined Portuguese giants last summer on a free transfer after impressing performance at the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia but ligament damage during pre-season against with Juventus saw him spend 340 days on the sidelines. Ebuehi long-term injury prevented

him from making his official debut for Benfica as he spent close to 12 months in the recuperating room but meanwhile, former ADO Den Haag defender is fully fit and he’s ready to challenge for a spot at the Estádio da Luz Lisbon in the coming season. This will be good news to Gernot Rohr and the Nigeria Football Federation as they can’t wait to have the attack-minded fullback in the national team setup ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers begins in few months time.

AFCON: Tunisia seeks to put an end to Madagascar’s fairytale

When Madagascar and Tunisia file out on Thursday in their quarter-final fixture, it will be more than a hunt for a place in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations semifinals. The clash at the Al-Salam Stadium in Cairo is a battle between a tournament greenhorn and an experienced side. However, Madagascar has proven that an inexperienced side cannot be always considered a minnow in the game of football. Making a debut at Egypt 2019 and ranked 108th by FIFA, the islanders rose to an unprecedented echelon after seeing off tournament giants Nigeria to top Group B. But the Barea have gone further with a victory against two-times winners DR Congo in the Round of 16. And this has placed them as the first team to stay unbeaten in their first four games in AFCON since Libya 1982 The side coached by Nicholas Dupuis can still add more stories to their history books, going by AFCON folklore. But doing this means they first need to surmount the Carthage Eagles hurdle, a side who are the

second top-ranked CAF team in FIFA in 25th place. They have 19 AFCON appearances and clinched the trophy in 2004, and it is safe indeed to say the North African side are one of the favourites for the title. With the elimination of possible threats in Cameroon, Ghana, Egypt and Morocco, Tunisia should now firmly be in the running for the title. But their run so far has proved otherwise, and it is not encouraging enough for anyone to place a bet on them. The North Africans ended the group stage with three points from three games and needed a penalty kicks shootout to overcome Ghana in the Round of 16. Tunisia’s display of prowess in club continental competitions has not manifested in their AFCON form and successes, compared to Egypt or Algeria. They will therefore need more to silence a very determined Madagascar, who have shown that experience and name may not count for something. Team captain Youssef Msakni is however one player Madagascar will need to do a lot to tame due to his attacking prowess.

The Belgium-based attacking midfielder who missed out of the 2018 FIFA World Cup will want to prove a point. He scored the Carthage Eagles’ first goal of the tournament in their Group E opener against Angola, and it made him the first Tunisian to score in four different AFCON editions. Another player capable of silencing the debutants is dead-ball specialist Wahbi Khazri, the SaintEtienne striker who scored the crucial equaliser against Mali in the group stage. With Egypt’s ouster from the tournament, fans of the hosts will likely shift support to their North African brothers, especially as Ferjani Sassi of Zamalek SC of Egypt made the squad. The midfielder sat out the three group games because he has a slight knock, according to Tunisia coach Alan Giresse. Having returned in the game against Ghana, Sassi may also be included in line-up against Madagascar. On the other hand, and based on midfielder Anicet Andrianantenaina’s comments, team work has accounted for their

Serena Williams in good place at Wimbledon – Coach Serena Williams is in a good place, pain-free at last and 100 per cent focused on winning Wimbledon, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou said Wednesday. Williams, 37, has worked incredibly hard to come back from giving birth, and multiple injury problems, in order to target Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Grand Slam titles, he said. Crucially, the American’s trademark ability to raise her game to another level is back — and she has found her rhythm once more, the coach said. Williams, the 11th seed, takes on the Czech world number 54 Barbora Strycova on Thursday in the semi-finals. “She’s in a good place at the moment. She’s happy,” Mouratoglou told reporters. “Her husband is here, her daughter is here, and she’s pain-free now for three weeks. “When you focus on your pain every day, it’s very difficult to prepare well for tournaments. “You compete with pain, so it’s difficult to focus on the match because you’re suffering. “Now things are different. And when she’s playing, she’s 100 per cent focusing on the game and on winning. “She’s raised her level when it was

necessary, which is one of her trademarks, and this is back, so everything’s positive.” – Chasing 24 – The Greek-French tennis coach, 49, has been working with Williams since 2012 — a partnership that has produced 10 of the American’s 23 Grand Slam singles titles. Australian great Court, 76, won her record 24 majors between 1960 and 1973. Mouratoglou said Williams was intensely focused on overtaking Court — starting by drawing level by winning Wimbledon. “That’s why she came back to playing tennis after having a baby and so many medical complications,” he said. “The effort she’s put in, I’ve never seen anything like this. “You have no idea how hard she worked to come back to that level, and she came back for that, so it will probably mean a lot if she makes it.” – ‘Better and better’ – Williams, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, had a knee problem that held her back at the French Open but worked with a Paris doctor to fix it. Mouratoglou could then work on preparing her for Wimbledon, even if she was lacking match practice. “If she’s well prepared, even though

she’s not playing her best tennis in the first matches, she’s most of the time able to find a way through,” he said. And in a warning to her rivals left in the tournament, he said: “I knew that match after match, she will get better and better.” In Thursday’s other semi-final, seventh seed Simona Halep plays eighth seed Elina Svitolina. “Serena is not only serving and return. She is able to do a lot of other things. They are two of her bigger assets,” the coach said. “And on grass, when you’re very good on those two things, you have a big advantage.”

unexpected run of results and it may now count for Madagascar. “Our secret is team work. We play as a team and we fight for each other. There is no star in the team and everyone is equal,” the scorer of their maiden AFCON goal against Guinea told Cat Online. Midfielder Lalaina Nomenjanahary who plays for Paris FC in France brings experience to the table for the newcomers. The 33-year-old has started each of Madagascar’s matches at the tournament and scored the opener against Nigeria. He has the ability and know-how to create problems in wide areas and the Tunisians need to be wary of him.

Also, Charles Andriamahitsinoro who has been involved in three of Madagascar’s five goals (two goals and one assist) can cause turbulence in the defence of any opponent. With quite a decent form, the newcomers have held their heads high and can even be contenders for the title following the elimination of the top guns. With Madagascar’s president Andy Rajoelina and CAF president Ahmad Ahmad likely to be watching from the stands, the Barea will play their hearts out. But the question will then be whether such a contribution will be enough for a possible victory against the experienced Tunisia.

Fifa launches global child safeguarding network

FIFA promised to enhance child safeguarding standards across its 211 member associations as world football’s governing body launched a new programme on Wednesday. The FIFA Guardians toolkit has been put together after consultation with experts in the field from UNICEF and the Council of Europe, as well as campaigners who themselves were abused through their participation in sport as children. Based on “five principles and five steps”, the toolkit will be rolled out through a series of training workshops across all confederations. Implementing safeguarding measures will also now be obligatory to member association funding from FIFA. “FIFA has a duty and responsibility to ensure that those who play football can

do so in a safe, positive and enjoyable environment,” said FIFA’s general secretary Fatma Samoura. “It will be a long road and it will be bumpy, but we are ready.” The development and implementation of the programme comes after a series of abuse scandals. British football has been rocked by revelations of a slew of historic sexual abuse cases since 2016. More recently the former head of the Afghanistan Football

Federation, Keramuddin Karim, was found guilty of sexually abusing female players and was banned from the sport for life by FIFA. FIFA’s chief member associations officer Joyce Cook said the safeguarding programme will gradually be expanded for the protection of vulnerable adults. “While some member associations have well-developed policies and procedures in place, it is clear that many are just starting out on their safeguarding journey,” said Cook.

Times Guest Columnist By Mohammed Adamu

Note: As I am slightly indisposed, I thought, this week, we should look back at some of your reactions to previous titles. Re-ON ATIKU, SOYINKA AND OTHER MATTERS ‘MASSAGING ETHNIC EGOS’: ‘Well spoken my friend… and I understand you perfectly. Same argument I have canvassed very often to my folks but they wouldn’t listen. Pragmatism should be the method and language of our politics and whosoever fails to key into the politics of give-and-take’ shoots his or herself on the foot…. and Nigeria moves on’. –Francis Nwosu, Abuja ‘Exactly, thank you for saying it matterof-factly my brother. This ‘na-only-me-andmy-people’ thing MUST be discouraged. PERIOD.’ -Stella Olley ‘As long as Igbos continue to play the politics of working against the directions of political storms all the time, they will continue to suffer the destructive power of political storms…. Politics is about choosing to align correctly at all times’ -Chinedu Nsofor ‘Mohammed they are not worth it! We are familiar with their political arrogance, which led to us to civil war! Let them migrate to Israel and join their kith and kin’ -Muhammad Sulaiman ‘This wonderful article is food for thought. Pride and arrogance are deadly. No one person has it all. No matter how educated one is, one still needs to stretch one’s hand. Even for the privileged elites they still need collaborative relationship’ -Benedict Ukwuegbu ‘Mohammed thanks for your beautiful and thoughtful insights. Politics demands participation especially as regards to the process, negotiations and lobbying, if you cannot stoop to lobby, then forget about politics! They say softly softly catch monkey, n… -Victoria Tabak ‘Can anybody really survive in an environment of complete isolation? Even if it’s possible to have a Biafra nation, wouldn’t the State still need to be in fruitful relationship with other nations? The greatest enemy anybody could have is self deceit. -Umaru Ibrahim “My people are perished for lack of knowledge...” If only we know. -Aso Salisu ‘Nagode maka rankadade, by now they should know what good manners can give. Well done sir.’ -Zubairu Saidu ‘Nothing more to add.’ -Frank Igbokwe A good thought not ONLY for my Kiths and kins but for us ALL. Take Benue State as a case study, can an Idoma person be a governor? Democracy not withstanding, it is a NO! We have to change our mindset as we know that arrogance is for the foolish and ignorant! A word is enough for the wise. Have a blissful week you all good people of the earth. -Sam Oboche Agbo

‘Awesome. Good thinking, perfect delivery.’ -Austen Avwunufe ‘Sometimes, people forget history. We paint pictures that portray something unthinkable. Hausa- Igbo collaboration impossible? Absolutely No ! 1983 proved that. I am not sure there were talks like “arrogance” and “kneeling down” before it happened. If equity and Justice exists in Nigeria, then we do not need to beg to do the needful’.- Ebenezer Ajewole ‘Who is this philosopher king? I beg, I want to meet him.’ -Segun Adeleke ‘THAT FULANI VIGILANTE FOR THE EAST’: ‘Highly sentimental and was wholly dedicated to the ugly task of deprecating the Igbos. Your use of disparaging words on the Igbos is both appalling and uncalled for. -Odogwu Emma Nonso Uzor’ ‘So federal government should give license to Fulani to be moving around with Ak 47 in our backyard in the name of vigilante. And don’t forget that cattle rearing is a private business just like igbo shops in the North and should be treated as such…. South East is the most peaceful region in Nigeria. You can take your vigilante groups to the North where Boko Haram and Fulanis are on rampage’ -Ikechukwu C Okafor ‘Thanks Mohammed for this piece. I was there at the summit and I have the speech of the MACBAN leader. In Enugu, there exists Fulani vigilante working with Igbo vigilante, neighborhood watch and security agencies. That was what MACBAN asked others to emulate but the newspapers sensationalized and blew it out of proportion. Surprisingly they are not mentioning the version of The Nation Online in which the same MACBAN tipped South East Governor Umahi for President in 2023 at the same summit. The group at the Summit publicly denied planning invasion of the South East as speculated. The MACBAN leader reeled out some of the benefits and conviviality they have been enjoying in the South East for decades.’Chris Oji ‘Mohammed Adamu is always bias and tribalistic. His pieces are always one sided and controversial aiming at favoring his ethnic nationalities which does not help for the growth of this so called Nigeria. Gradually Mohammed Adam is contributing to divide us rather than unite us -Ekpoh Christopher ‘Trust here is a factor. I am just hearing that Igbos have indigenous Fulanis. Of course the Yorubas have them more than 300 years now...during the Yoruba wars that lasted about 100 years, the fulanis in Yoruba land where those that watched over the villages afte…’ -Ayotunde Adelakun ‘Succinct, Apt and deliciously delivered as usual,...Great Piece!,..... Thanks Comrade’ -Adidu Iwoh ‘This matter is simple if government

demonstrates love as against hate. Politics has divided Nigeria so much that nobody is trusting his fellow brother again. The blame should go to the ruling class. They are playing realpolitik using the masses to advance it. All my friends are from the North down to Owerri.’ -Anyanwu Isdore ‘We live in the north with IGBOS. They are in the nooks and crannies of our cities but the latest hatred about anything Hausa or Muslims is too much.’ -Musa Tahir ‘One wonders now why our brothers in the Eastern side of the country have politicized the relationship that has been existing in the past couple of decades between the Fulanis and the Igbos. Before now all my friends during the early seventies were mostly from Enugu where my parents resided… -Esv Mohammed K Kudu ‘Honestly, I don’t understand the big deal in what looks a harmless contribution from an innocent and willing party to a social menace for which they have been wrongly accused to be perpetrators. I don’t get it and I can’t get it. This new garment of hatred we gleefully wear must be pulled off to allow peace to reign’ -Timothy Elerewe ‘I have seen IBO vigilante groups in Sabon Gari, KANO!!’ -Adidu Iwoh ‘GOOD PERSPECTIVE. BUT SOMETHING IS FUELLING MUTUAL SUSPICION AMONGST ONCE PEACEFUL, CO-HABITING ETHNIC GROUPS. THE ANSWER...?’ -Emeka Ozumba ‘Nigeria is not ripe for state police but she is ripe for Fulani vigilante services across the nation.’ -Ikechukwu C Okafor ‘Insecurity is wearing cap in the North, but some Miyetti people want to form Vigilante in the SE. Pathetic!’ -Ikechukwu C Okafor “By all definitions and descriptions, the Nigeria’s so called herdsmen are terrorists and if President Buhari doesn’t believe so, then it would be difficult for anyone to reasonably absolve him (Buhari) from complicity”-Kenneth U Okeke ‘Please let everyone return to where he belongs. We give all Nigerians land, accmodate them but Everytime there is a problem, we become the punching bag. To your tents oh northerners. Enough is enough’ -Mande Faru ‘A good piece. It is a measure of how polarized along ethnic and religious fault lines our nation has become that an otherwise innocuous and positive request/ suggestion should generate so much tension. Some ten to fifteen years ago, this request would have been a non-issue. The question to ask is, what happened or changed in our socio-political environment, in so short a time as to give rise to these dangerously high levels of inter-ethnic distrust?’ -Emeka Okeke

Super Eagles hit 2019 AFCON semis after knocking out South Africa

Nigeria will now await the winners of the quarterfinal between Algeria and Senegal in the semifinals of the 2019 AFCON after they knocked out South Africa 2-1 in a hard-fought encounter in Cairo tonight. It was a thrilling quarterfinal that looked like going into extra-time before William Ekong snatched a late winner for the three-time African champions. It was the 14th meeting between the two teams and Nigeria have now won seven of these clashes while Bafana Bafana have only been victorious twice and five games ended in draws. Nigeria went in front after 27 minutes, when Villarreal youngster Samuel Chukwueze persisted and followed up his first shot at goal in a goalmouth scramble. It was his first goal in his seventh game for Nigeria and it was achieved on a big platform. The Super Eagles were the more positive side and deserved their lead

even though Bafana Bafana enjoyed more of the possession, but it was where it did not hurt the opponents. Nigeria threatened the goal of their opponents through Man of the Match Chukwueze in the second half even after their opponents gamely chased the contest. However, it was the South Africans who will draw level thanks to VAR in the 71st minute courtesy of a header by Zungu after it was initially chalked off to have been scored from an offside goal. However, a minute to full time defender Ekong helped home a corner by Moses Simon with his ankle to send Nigeria through to the last-four. Super Eagles starting XI vs South Africa: 4-2-3-1- Daniel Akpeyi – Jamilu Collins, William Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo, Chidozie Awaziem – Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo – Alex Iwobi (Leon Balogun 90), Samuel Chukwueze, Ahmed Musa (Moses Simon 81) – Odion Ighalo

Novak Djokovic into ninth Wimbledon semi-final Four-time champion Novak Djokovic reached the Wimbledon semi-finals for the ninth time on Wednesday with a 6-4, 6-0, 6-2 win over David Goffin of Belgium. The world number one secured his 70th match win at the tournament and will be playing in his 36th semi-final at the majors. Defending champion Djokovic will face either Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut or Guido Pella of Argentina for a place in Sunday’s final.
