Court admits Jang’s confession Short News as evidence in N6.2bn fraud trial Plateau tribunal again adjourns for Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Justice Daniel Longji of the Plateau state High Court, Jos on Wednesday admitted the confessional statement made by former Plateau state Governor, Sen. Jonah Jang as exhibit in his ongoing N6.2 billion fraud trial. The confessional statement was made by Jang before the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the course of investigating allegations that he diverted to his personal use N6.2 billion belonging the state shortly before the end of his tenure in 2015. Jang is facing a 12-count charge alongside Yusuf Pam, a former cashier in the office of the secretary to the state government. At the resumed hearing on Wednesday July 23, counsel for the EFCC, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN) presented Jang’s statement to the court through a prosecution witness, Musa Sunday. In his evidence-in-chief, Sunday, an EFCC investigator told the court that “in carrying out my duties as a detective, I interviewed Jang and obtained statements from him.” The statement was thereafter, identified by him and tendered by Jacobs

as evidence against Jang. Counsel for Jang, Benson Igbanoi, raised no objections and Justice Longji subsequently, admitted it in evidence and marked it as exhibits P59 - P61. Also, the witness (Sunday) further told the court that the EFCC’s investigation of Jang was necessitated by a petition received from the Civil Society Against Corruption on June 9, 2014. Copies of the said petition and the supporting documents substantiating the allegations were identified by Sunday as Jacobs sought to tender them in evidence against Jang. However, Igbanoi raised an objection, arguing that “the documents tendered being public documents need to be certified.” Countering his argument, Jacobs emphasised that the documents were addressed to the EFCC and “therefore, the EFCC has powers to tender them being in possession of the original, which is valid in the court of law.” Consequently, the trial judge overruled the objection, noting that “an investigating officer is a special witness and has the right to tender documents in line with his submissions.” Justice Longji thus admitted the documents and marked them as exhibit 54 and exhibit 55.

Further in the course of proceedings, the court admitted as exhibits P56, P57 and P58, the account statements of Jang with Zenith Bank, FCMB and Standard Chartered Bank, which indicated suspicious transactions from the Plateau state government account with Zenith Bank into Plateau Project One, withdrawn by Pam, upon approval by Jang. Investigations also revealed that the funds, which were approved for the State Universal Basic Education (SUBEB) were never so utilised with teachers’ salaries pending for more than 10 months. Forensic analysis of the accounts also showed cash lodgements of $10, 000, sometimes more than $100, 000 daily. The lodgements were found to have been made by Pam and Jang’s first son, Yakubu. Additional documents including letters from the Plateau state House of Assembly, attorney general and the Central Bank of Nigeria were also tendered through the witness as evidence. But, the defence counsel raised objection on the grounds of fair hearing on additional evidence and direct or personal interest. In response, Jacobs stressed that the fundamental issue is to establish whether the maker of the said documents has any personal interest in the matter.

adoption of written addresses

The National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Jos, Plateau state has again adjourned until July 31 for the adoption of final written addresses in a petition filed by Timothy Golu. Golu is challenging the declaration of Rep. Yusuf Gagdi by INEC as the duly elected representative for Pankshin, Kanke and Kanam Federal Constituency in the National Assembly election held on March 9. The tribunal fixed the date following an application by Golu’s lead counsel, Sunday Oyawole, asking for more time to serve other parties in the matter with his written address. The tribunal had heard the arguments of all the parties involved including INEC and had fixed July 24 for adoption of their respective written addresses. But, when the case came up for the adoption of written addresses, Oyawole, told the court that he has some challenges serving some of the respondents with copies of his written address. “My Lord, we have already prepared our written address, ready for adoption, but then we have some challenges at serving all the respondents with copies. The rules say we must serve all respondents, who in turn must reply us before it can be presented and adopted. “In view of the circumstance, we wish to apply for a short adjournment to enable us to do the needful, more so, that we are still within time,” Oyawole pleaded. All respondents’ counsel, who confirmed the position of the issue before hand didn’t object to the application. The tribunal however, frowned at the application, noting such application wouldn’t have been necessary if the needful had been done. “We are not comfortable with the delay at presentation and adoption of your written addresses. On the last adjournment date, we all agreed to present and adopt all written addresses today. “Anyway, we are giving you people another chance, but make sure you don’t fail because we won’t grant such indulgence again,” the tribunal warned.

Aduda seeks inclusion of FCT nominee in ministerial list

The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Senator Philip Aduda, has appealed to the Senate to prevail on the executive to consider a ministerial nominee from the FCT. Sen. Aduda, who made the call under Order 43 of the Senate rule, said his constituents were surprised that there was no nominee representing the FCT on the list submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari. Sen. Aduda therefore, urged the Senate to prevail on the executive to nominate a representative from the FCT. Corroborating the need for a nominee from the FCT, Sen. Dino Melaye (PDP Kogi) said the request by Sen. Aduda was in line with Section 297 of the constitution, noting that the matter is a constitutional issue. Sen. Dino called on the Senate to consider the request in the interest of equity and fairness to the people of FCT. President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan in his submission said the point of order raised was noted, saying that the executive would take the appropriate action.

NAPTIP raises alarm over new emerging tricks in human trafficking Says organ trafficker’s uses lofty job offers to trick victims

PDP govs task NASS to obey court order on Bauchi assembly crisis Tunde Opalana, Abuja Following the Bauchi state High Court order issued on Monday restricting the National Assembly from interfering in the leadership crisis in the Bauchi state House of Assembly, the PDP Governors Forum has advised the National Assembly to abide by the court order and stay stop interfering in the affairs of the state assembly. In a press statement from its secretariat in Abuja, Chairman of the Forum,Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa state called on the National Assembly to comply with the court order: “We also call on the National Assembly to walk back the culture of impunity and lawlessness that is hardening its bite on the polity and show more respect for the rights

of the people. “Acting otherwise or delaying in respecting the order would represent a direct and serious affront to the rule of law in a democratic government and a dangerous abuse of power; which Nigerians would see as steadily emboldening a climate of impunity in governance, and strengthening the hands of those who unleash brutal force against democracy. “However, impunity will not change Nigeria for the better. Impunity breeds and feeds resentment and division, conflict, radicalism and extremism and represents a revolving door for infinite cycles of violence. Impunity will only change Nigeria for the worse,” said the PDP governors. Our correspondent recalls that a high court in Bauchi on Monday issued an order restricting the National Assembly

from wading into the leadership crisis in the state House of Assembly. The order effectively stopped a committee set up by the House of Representatives from proceeding with its assignment pending the ruling on a motion filed before it. Two speakers (Abubakar Suleiman and Kawuwa Shehu-Damina) emerged at the inauguration of 9th Bauchi assembly through parallel elections, prompting a 12-member House of Representatives ad hoc committee headed by Rep. SarkinAdar to be constituted with the mandate to find out the circumstances surrounding the development. However, an interim injunction dated July 22 and granted by Judge Muazu Abubakar, said the parties involved in the crisis should halt all proceedings until October 3, when the court sits to hear the motion filed by the applicants.

Director General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), Dame Julie Okah, has raised an alarm over the emerging tricks and trends in human trafficking, which should be urgently addressed in order to protect the lives of Nigerians. She warned Nigerians who respond to lofty job adverts to be careful of falling into the hands of organ traffickers. Okah, who gave this warning on Wednesday during a media briefing to mark the 2019 World Day against human trafficking, warned that criminal gangs have devised means of achieving their dastardly acts through rolling out advertorials for the recruitment of unsuspecting Nigerians as drivers, nurses and maids as well as fake offers of scholarship and recruitment by non-existing football clubs in some of the notorious Middle East countries. She said that NAPTIP in order to nip the situation in the bud is collaborating with various regulatory bodies like the International Air Transportation Association (IATA), National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA) and the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) to ensure that their members do not aid or abet human trafficking. “As lofty and enticing as these vague offers may be on the face value, it is clear that these young promising Nigerians are targets of organ trafficking and eventual death in the process, labour exploitation and sex slavery. Many of them that have ignorantly responded to these invitations are going through hell, many have died and many may never be able to tell their story while the few lucky ones are still brooding over their bitter experiences. “We also have similar plans to engage with officials of the embassies concerned, why serious efforts are being made to review legal provisions on labour recruitment which is presently domiciled with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment and any door that opens for the indiscriminate recruitment of our citizens even in the face of terrible dangers in the destination countries, is repugnant and inconsistent with good conscience, and such should be reviewed. “There is also the need for government to make human trafficking a priority by putting in more responses, resources, implementations legislations and advocacy as well as amendable fiscal appropriation to issues of human trafficking,” she added. The director general who also lauded the Buhari administration for working tirelessly in support of the agency, said the 2019 United States Trafficking in Persons report which was released on June 20 by the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo was a wakeup call for the agency to do more. ‘’Like I have said in several fora, we in NAPTIP are gratified but not satisfied that Nigeria was upgraded to Tier 2 from Tier 2 watch list which the country has occupied for two years.

Gadzama’s revelations and the urgency of security reforms in Nigeria

Uche Igwe

The disclosure from someone of the stature of Gadzama is extremely disturbing and should make every informed observer to panic… what he said has simply reconfirmed assumptions long held by citizens. For many years, Nigerians have been witnessing the inexplicably manifest lack of professionalism in the conduct of our security agencies… The last two weeks have witnessed a lot of commentary about the heightening insecurity in the country. The role of Fulani herdsmen in nationwide criminality and suggested solutions have been on the front burner of national discuss. Many politicians and elder statesmen have joined their voices and expressed their fears and concerns. From the content of their statements, it was relatively easy to discern their motivations. Although the 2023 elections remain four years away, it appears that responses to the ongoing insecurity in the country

have become a barometer to know where politicians stand. Those who seek to remain in the good books of the Presidency, like Senator Bola Tinubu and Senator Orji Kalu, chose to either be diplomatic or prevaricate on the real issues. Former President Obasanjo and Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka on the other hand, have been coming out caustic, as usual, as people ready to receive the unsurprising appellation of being unpatriotic, while daring other consequences. Amidst the cacophony of voices, there is someone whose voice and contributions stand out. This is not just because he does not speak often but also because he is a thoroughbred professional and a former secret service chief of the country. His name is Afakriya Gadzama and he was the director general of the State Security Services from 2007 to 2010. In a speech delivered at the Institute of Security Studies last week, he bemoaned what he described as the lack of integrity

and dishonesty among security agencies, which he sees as part of the major reasons for the security challenges facing the country. According to him, these security agencies have been fearful and economical with the truth about the actual situation on the ground, thereby misleading government. The former secret service chief called for the design of new security architecture for Nigeria, as the existing structure, in his view, will be unable to confront and defeat our current security challenges. I agree with him completely. This disclosure from someone of the stature of Gadzama is extremely disturbing and should make every informed observer to panic. Some will say that he did not say anything new in particular; however, what he said has simply reconfirmed assumptions long held by citizens. For many years, Nigerians have been witnessing the inexplicably manifest lack of professionalism in the conduct of our security agencies, especially in

the fight against the Boko Haram insurgency. Years after the attacks started, the need to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation became necessary in order to access the international support required to fight the menace. However, that effort was met and suppressed by a segment of the security agencies themselves. This was partly because the insurgents were from a particular religion and their victims – at least at that time – were predominantly from another religion. Undoubtedly, that delay contributed to where things are now. Is it a coincidence that people of a particular religion majorly inhabit communities in Bornu State, like Bama, Gwoza, Dikwa, Konduga and Chibok, where major attacks took place? Yet, when things later got worse and the insurgents started attacking mosques, everybody and everything, it became difficult to rally around the level of logistics required to extinguish them.

Politics of insecurity and possible solutions

Chinemelu Nwokike

Every government must consider the security of the country. That is just part of the responsibilities of any government. But true security can only come out of unity within a country where there are so many ethnic nationalities. ~Aung San Suu Kyi I had purposely refrained from writing on the RUGA madness that recently engulfed the polity for two reasons. Firstly, nobody has ever apprehended the cattle left behind by the killer Fulani herdsmen because it’s hard to believe that they disappear into the thin air with the herd. Two, I suspected the whole idea to be a ruse, a smokescreen to distract Nigerians from the impending petroleum subsidy removal by the government — and yes political distraction is a strategy in governance — Allow me to quickly digress with a brief background before we proceed. As a student at the University of Maiduguri, I observed that the Igbo building material traders in collaboration with their host community had a security outfit. My own hometown has a Hausa community with a polling unit. They have a security outfit which cooperates with our local vigilante and the police. I have employed more than ten guards from them over the years. And after the infamous 2016 Nimbo attacks, a friend from Nimbo whom I called to get a better picture of what actually transpired revealed that the Fulani community in there owned a large settlement and had been engaged in economic activities in the area dating back to the colonial era. The above examples of teamwork were ostensibly for crime prevention and peaceful coexistence.

Fast forward to 2019 and the Fulani tribe has been so stereotyped that almost everything wrong with Nigeria now is associated with the HausaFulani hegemony. It got so bad that the 2017 massacre inside a Catholic church in Anambra state was initially reported on social media as an attack by Fulani terrorists. With the election behind us, the insecurity is mounting as predicted. Across the nation, we have escalating cases of banditry, kidnapping, violent Shiite protests and of course the most popular ‘Fulani herdsmen’ attacks, which have resulted in an incalculable loss of lives. And this assessment is only going by the reports that make it to the news. Nigerians are slaughtered on an hourly basis by criminals including those in uniform who are supposed to protect them. Vice President Osinbajo recently came under severe criticism for suggesting that the reports of kidnapping across the land were often exaggerated especially on social media. Of course, he spoke the truth. The proliferation of cheap communication tools has aided this magnification. Ignorant Nigerians who cannot perform a simple google search are hired to broadcast fallacies concocted by politicians and their agents. Afterall there was no WhatsApp when kidnappers were paid tithes in Aba and luxury buses travelled with police escorts. But was that the right thing for the nation’s number two man to say at a period we are daily bombarded with live videos of kidnapping and other forms of violence? The answer is an emphatic NO! Perception is crucial in

governance. You may not be doing the right things, but saying the right things will often get you by. Our soldiers are constantly on the receiving end of deadly attacks. In early February the town of Rann in the Borno state lost 60 lives to Boko Haram terrorists and in the same month, a band of yet to be identified gunmen invaded a community in Kaduna state killing 130 people. Nobody is safe anymore except perhaps the politicians themselves surrounded by a retinue of security operatives. But their relatives are not spared, they feel the torment like other Nigerians. In the past week, gunmen murdered Fasoranti’s daughter as she travelled to Lagos from Akure, gunned down an uncle of the infamous Senator Abbo and abducted his stepmother. Not even President Buhari’s family has been spared as his in-law was only rescued last week after two months in captivity. These are perilous times and must not be allowed to fester. So Osinbajo and indeed the government as a whole are expected to proffer solutions, solutions and solutions only. Will the recent killing of Mrs. Funke Olakunrin prove to be the tipping point? Time will tell as events unfold. However, the poignant issue in this orgy of violence and also a stimulus for the strong opposition against this government is that the perpetrators literally get away with it — even when it may not be so — except when a prominent person is involved. Again, this has to do with my earlier point on perception. Already, the tempo of the rhetoric is increasing. Obasanjo

who personally directed and defended the decimation of Odi and Zakibiam has already inked another letter calling for an end to the killing by ‘herdsmen’. Odumakin the disgruntled Buhari gofer is screaming Islamisation while Femi Fani Kayode who could be Yoruba, Biafran or Fulani depending on who is oiling his flute at the time is shouting ‘Fulanisation’ and calling on the Aare Ona Kakanfo to start beating the war drums. It is only the amnesiac that will take this trio seriously in their macabre but banal dance. But since Nigerians are often impressionable it would be proper for the authorities to check these outbursts before we are plunged into a spiral of reprisal attacks, because as Nyerere once noted: “the people who are politically and intellectually bankrupt normally seek refuge in ethnicity and religion as a major factor of mobilisation”. The government must be wary not to treat this potent factor with levity. The pertinent questions our security agents should tackle after apprehending the culprits are why the daughter of a man who recently led a faction of Afenifere to the President was gunned down in broad daylight? How Yinka Odumakin who is the secretary of the other faction came about the identities of the gunmen even as surviving witnesses said they were masked? Could there be a link to the subtle innuendo about a heinous agenda to stoke ethnic flames and create animosity between the two tribes for political gains? May the souls of Mrs Funke Olakunrin and others killed find eternal rest

Editorial Commentary NEWS

FCTA vows to punish school principals over negligence Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja he Permanent Secretary, Federal Capital Territory, Sir Chinyeaka Ohaa, yesterday read a riot act to principals of public secondary schools in FCT noting that the administration will no longer tolerate negligence on their part which in recent times had led to a breach of trust by teachers who serve under them. Ohaa gave the warning in Abuja during a meeting with the principals of public secondary schools in FCT. While drawing their attention of the recent happenings at the school for the blind in Jabi where not one but two cases of sexual molestation of some of the most vulnerable members of the society, he stressed that as teachers, their primary task is the physical and emotional protection of children in their care. He noted that Education being the foundation upon which decent societies are built, the smooth management of those systems rest squarely on the shoulders of school teachers whom the society has entrusted their future through the impartation of knowledge and moulding of characters of their children; the future leaders. “It will therefore be safe to say that we have entrusted the very future of our country in your hands. If we are to break it down to the fundamentals it will equally be safe to say that teachers have as much a role to play in the upbringing of a child as much as the parents do. “This system of placing our future in your hands is only possible because society trusts you. Parents

trust your judgement to do right by their children and the community also accord you that dignity as an individual of intellect and great moral standing. Now, it must be said here that one of the most grievous of crimes that can be committed is the crime of breach of trust. “It is therefore most disheartening and distressing for us to hear of instances where this trust is being breached and abused. I make reference here to the recent happenings at the school for the blind in Jabi where not one but two cases of sexual molestation of some of the most vulnerable members of our society has come to light. “It will indeed be very sad if our special needs schools where we are supposed to cater for the most vulnerable members of our society and at which the premise of trust should be at its highest, garner reputations for being unsafe and institutions of abuse. “I am sounding this note of warning because we will no longer tolerate this kind of criminality because, when broken down, this is what it is. As school principals are supposed to have a pulse of all the happenings in your school. You cannot claim ignorance because doing so will simply prove you are incompetent and unfit to hold such a sensitive position and you will not only be replaced but punished to the full extent of extant civil service rules and regulations.” He said While admonishing both the teachers and the principals to re-dedicate their energy towards their duties and earn back that trust that was automatically bestowed on them, he also warned the supervisory boards and departments against trying to cover-up or exercising double standards in the management of the affairs of schools and staff.

Kogi, Bayelsa: Adoji, Attawodi, Agbedi, others join race as PDP closes nomination form sales Tunde Opalana, Abuja As collection of expression of interest and nomination form by aspirants seeking to run for the November 16 governors election in both Kogi and Bayelsa states on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ended yesterday, five other aspirants joined the race . Dr. Victor Adoji, AVM Salihu Attawodi and Mohammed Shaibu Tettes were at the PDP Wadata Plaza National secretariat to procure their Expression of Interest and Nomination forms. Adoji who lamented the wasteful spending of the state fund by the incumbent administration in the state frowned at the hasty release of about N30 billion Paris Club fund to the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello. He said, “I don’t see that money going into the use it was allotted for in the first place. It is I’ll timed, it is improper and it is immoral. “While I felt that the timing was wrong in terms of making those funds available, am equally very very happy that it will help people who are dying and they are going to have reprieve if the money is used appropriately. Am happy that people will get their money so long as they have used it for the purpose they were allotted”. Also AVM Salihu promised to turn the fortunes of the state and revamp critical sectors, revive agriculture and place Kogi on the path of economic growth, if elected governor. He said that he will take charge of the security of the state and also ensure regular payment of salaries, highlighting that about 22 states pass through Lokoja just as he lamented that the state has nothing to show despite its strategic position and the huge deposit of mineral buried beneath

the soil of Kogi state. “The human capital development of the state is laughable because without the people, you will not have a state. I will also tackle education because education is power he assured”. Mohammed Shaibu Tettes said he will bring his over 20years with Heineken International and years of experience in the private sector to trim down bureaucracy and ensure speedy service delivery. He said that he will review civil service manpower, assess the financial baggage of the state and come out with a testes strategy that will ensure that he will pay salaries within 90 days in office. Also speaking, Bayo Averehi assured Kogi electorate that he will personally interface with the people and make their welfare his uttermost priority. Meanwhile, a governorship aspirant from Bayelsa State, Tobin Ziperedein Igiri who also picked his nomination forms expressed his desire to end youth restiveness, ensure youth empowerment and make sure that security situation was under control in the state. Igiri who worked with Shell Petroleum and a member of the restoration group denied being the anointed candidate of the governor but assured that he will subject himself to the decision of the party if they decide to go for a consensus. Further more, Hon. Fred Agbedi stressed that he stands by his contract to transform the state, ensure security of lives and properties and accelerate infrastructural development for the state when elected. Agbedi who was represented by his Campaign Director, Dr. Pabara Newton Igwele during the submission of his nomination form assured that the aspirant will be very victorious at the polls.

OUR POSITION The return of History to our schools usiness where politicians secure the future of their children to the detriment of poor Nigerians. Also, inadequacy of funding, lack of teaching tools and modern classrooms, poor numerations and the acute shortage of qualified teachers are some of the factors leading to the fall in the standard of education in Nigeria. Recently, the Multiple Indication Cluster Survey report for 2016 (MICS 2016) revealed that out of the 11.5 million of out-of-school children in Nigeria, Northern states have the highest rate with an average of 69%. The latest data MICS 2016 showed that out of the 11.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, 7.5.million (69%) are from the Northern part of the country while the North East has the largest number of out-of-school children followed by the North West. With this number, Nigeria accounts for more than 1 in 5 number of out-of-school children globally and 45% of this number are from West Africa. Within the huge number of the out-ofschool children, girls are the majority especially in Northern Nigeria. Education indicators for Northern Nigeria are however different from the Southern part of the country. Nigeria’s future prosperity depends on producing children who are well prepared to take their right place in the society but unfortunately, a large number of Nigerian children are at risk of deprivations of the basic social amenities. Most of these children are situated in the rural areas and hard to reach communities. Majority of them are living in conflict and communities under emergencies, and it has been difficult taking basic amenities to them. All children have the right to better life, an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potentials without discrimination, bias or favouritism which cannot be over emphasised. We also observe that the rising number of children engaged in street trading in our major cities is becoming a worsening menace. The problem is further exacerbated by rising poverty and general insecurity in the country. In the

North, the ravaging insurgency has added to the problem. If drastic measures are not taken to correct the situation, things would only get worse. Let us learn from France, Britain, Canada and other advanced countries which built the foundation of their countries and rapid technological advancement on good and quality education. It must be pointed out also that in these countries, teachers are amongst the best paid workers. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case in Nigeria. Having failed to fund public education, the children of the poor are roaming the streets, hawking goods while the rich are educating their children in private schools at home and abroad. But to the detriment of the society, the abandoned children of the poor are being recruited to criminality by terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal gangs. The irony of the crisis is that a government, which claims that it lacks money to fund education is spending several billions of naira to fight insurgency, kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry. We believe that an uneducated population will be locked in a cycle of poverty for their entire lives. Additionally, these children could constitute the next generation of suicide bombers and militants. We are of the opinion that it is high time the government and relevant stakeholders address the problem frontally. It is sad that government’s free education for all pupils up to the first nine years of schooling has not been fully implemented. There is the need to increase the percentage of the annual national budget that goes to education. Schools should be adequately funded and the enabling environment provided for teachers and support staff to deliver functional and effective education to the children. We submit that the improvement of the classroom environment is key to lowering the growing figures of out-of-school children in the country. We also wish to state that teachers must not only be well trained, their welfare must be prioritised while the federal and state governments should muster the political will to adequately fund education.

Presidential poll: Tribunal dismisses Short News PDM’s petition against Buhari DFID, Christian body rally support for Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja on Wednesday dismissed the petition filed by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Movement (PDM), Pastor Aminchi Habu challenging the election of President Muhammadu Buhari. The tribunal dismissed the petition following the withdrawal of the petition by the petitioner and his party. Habu and PDM had in their petition challenged the outcome of the February 23 general elections, predicating their submission on the unlawful exclusion of the party from participating in the election despite his nomination and clearance for the poll. Although, the petition was scheduled for hearing on Wednesday, the petitioner however, shocked the crowd at the tribunal when he dramatically announced that he was withdrawing the petition filed

four months ago. Citing the need to prevent Buhari from incurring expenses to defend himself and also, the need to make him concentrate on governance, the petitioner said that he was desirous of withdrawing the petition. Besides, the PDM presidential candidate also told the tribunal that he has found an alternative means of seeking redress in his complaint against Buhari’s election. After the motion on notice was moved by the petitioner’s lawyer, Aliyu Lemu, Buhari’s counsel, Yusuf Ali (SAN), the All Progressive Congress (APC) counsel, Funke Adekoya (SAN) and that of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Yunus Usman (SAN) did not object to the withdrawal of the petition, but rather said that it was a positive development. Consequently, the tribunal Chairman, Justice Mohammed Garba, granted the application and dismissed the petition. The tribunal had last week adjourned to July 24 for the commencement of hearing

in the PDM’s petition after dismissing a similar application filed and argued last week by the PDM’s National Chairman, Frank Igwebuike, who sought to remove the PDM’s name from the petition filed by the party’s presidential candidate. Habu and his party, the PDM had in their petition number CA/PEPT/ 04/2019 filed on March 19 sought the nullification of the February 23 presidential poll on grounds that they were excluded from participating in the election. They specifically alleged that the party’s logo was not included in the ballot paper used for the presidential election as required by law despite their lawful nomination and clearance by the electoral body. With the dismissal, President Buhari is now faced with two petitions from the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and that of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP), Chief Albert Ambrose Owuru slated for July 29 and August 5 respectively.

Senator calls for more funding for police to tackle insecurity

Senator Paulinus Igwenwagu has called on the Buhari administration to adequate fund the police to enable it tackle current spate of insecurity in the country. Igwenwagu, who represented Ebonyi Central Senatorial District at the Senate between 2011 and 2015 and was Chairman of the Senate Committee on Police Affairs made the call in on Wednesday in Awka. He said that the current wave of insecurity, especially the violent protests by members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) was an indication that the police need adequate funding. “The police require modern equipment, adequate funding and more strength to beef up the current number,” he said. Sen. Igwenwagu, who was also Chairman of House of Representatives Committee on Police Affairs between 2007 and 2011 before moving up to the Senate, said that if more personnel were recruited into the police, intelligence gathering would be more

efficient. “As chairman House of Representatives and Senate committees on police affairs between 2007 and 2015, I forwarded proposals on ways government should reposition the police. “Two fundamental problems facing the police are government and the public and once these are addressed, security challenges would be reduced. The government should tackle the problem of poor funding which basically is the reason why the police mount road blocks and collect tips from the public. “For the public, they should always give adequate and prompt information to the police as that would make the police respond to issues and nip them in the bud,” he said. Igwenwagu said that international best practices prescribed one policeman to 200 persons, but added that in Nigeria, a policeman is policing more than 800 persons in addition to poor equipment and

poor welfare. He urged President Muhammadu Buhari to release Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky, leader of the IMN, saying that his long detention after the court has granted him bail was against the law, leading to the violent protests by his supporters. “Presently, we don’t have a law which permits government to detain someone after he or she has been granted bail. Such can only happen if such a person standing trial committed another offence. “But, it is quite unfortunate that we found ourselves in this condition whereby one granted bail is held and protests by his group are taking lives and nothing is being done,” he said. The former lawmaker, however, called on the federal government to meticulously look into the activities of El-Zakzaky group also known as Shiites, with a view to proscribing it if their activities were against the law.

The Katsina state House of Assembly has extended the tenure of the transition committees of the 34 local government councils in the state by three months. According to the assembly, the decision is sequel to a letter sent to the House by Governor Aminu Masari requesting the extension of the tenure of the council chairmen. The letter was read for deliberation at Wednesday’s plenary by the House Leader, Abubakar Abukur, representing Rimi Constituency and seconded by the member representing Kaita, Musa Nuhu. Gov. Masari requested the assembly to approve the extension “due to inability of the government to conduct local government elections because of the pending case before the court.’’ The lawmakers went into an executive session after which the Speaker, Tasiu Maigari briefed newsmen on their decision. Maigari said that the assembly has agreed to extend the tenure from August 1-October 31. The lawmakers however, resolved that “the extension of this set of transition committee is final. Subsequently, where the need arises, the executive arm of government should submit a fresh list of transition committee members for screening and confirmation to the House.” The speaker directed the clerk of the House to forward the resolution to the executive for necessary action. It would be recalled that the 34 local government transition committees were inaugurated on August 13, 2018. However, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) instituted a legal action challenging the dissolution of elected local government councils by the governor in 2015. The case is yet to be decided by the court.

Stakeholders condemn poor infrastructure in Kwara schools Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin Stakeholders in the education sector in Kwara state have drawn the attention of the state government to the dilapidated infrastructure and congestion in classrooms due to over-population of students in most public schools in the state. Speaking with journalists in Ilorin on Wednesday during the 50th anniversary of the Cherubim and Seraphim College, Sabo Oke, Ilorin, the Head, Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church Worldwide, Most Rev. Samuel Abidoye, said that the situation has hampered teaching and learning in schools. “In as much as we appreciate Kwara state government in grant-aiding the schools and paying the salaries of full time staff, but apart from the salary payment, there has not been any contribution of note from the government in respect of physical development which has resulted in dilapidated buildings classroom congestion. “How on earth will a teacher be able to teach conveniently and the students assimilate teachings?” he asked rhetorically. The octogenarian church leader also said that the state government should consider returning mission schools to original owners, as it is done in other states for effective management and development. Reacting to a recent religious crisis in a secondary school in the state, Rev. Adefila advised government to promote religious tolerance in schools, saying that various mission schools should be allowed to practise their religious belief in their schools without interference from external bodies. The cleric, who called on the federal government to find lasting solutions to insecurity challenges in parts of the country, said that there should not be any sacred cow in any section of the country.

Taraba monarch decries occupation of 17 Short News Kona villages by suspected herdsmen Glo brings back gossipy ‘Amebo’ in new

The traditional ruler of the Kona people, Chief Augustine Njanmeng has decried the occupation of 17 villages belonging to his community by suspected herdsmen in Jalingo Local Government Area of Taraba state. Njanmeng told newsmen in his palace in Jalingo on Wednesday, that the herdsmen were grazing on the farms of displaced people and also alleged that the herdsmen were carrying sophisticated weapons to shoot anyone at sight. The monarch therefore, called on the government and international

community to intervene so as to return the displaced people to their ancestral homes, adding that his two farms sitting on 12 hectares of land have been destroyed by the herdsmen. The second class chief alerted government of the impending food crisis in the state, if those displaced were not returned to continue with their agricultural activities. Reporters who visited some of the farms destroyed by the herdsmen and their cattle observed that several farms were grazed upon. A farmer, James Ayuba whose farm was destroyed called on government

at all levels to end the herdsmen/ farmers crisis. However, the state Chairman of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN), Alhaji Sahabi Tukur, declined to react to the allegation, assuring that he would comment as soon as the national secretariat of MACBAN authorises him to do so. It would be recalled that skirmishes between suspected herdsmen and the Kona community have claimed several lives and led to the destruction of property in Jalingo and Ardo Kola Local Government Areas of the state.

TV series

Ladesope Ladelokun It was a character she internalized with aplomb. Ibidun Allison played her role as chatty Amebo in a popular television sitcom, Village Headmaster with such sublime proficiency that earned her national acclaim. Her character was true to the meaning of “amebo,” a bastardization of the original Urhobo word “avwebo” which means the favourite wife in a polygamous home and the gossip who ensured the husband was kept abreast of happenings within his homestead. The popular programme still holds the record as the longest running television drama on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) having been on air for 20 unbroken years from 1968 to 1988. The “Amebo” character has now been brought back to life by data transformation company, Globacom, in its latest television commercial to promote ‘Glo Amebo,’ a mouth-watering offer that gives subscribers five times the value of their recharge. The television commercial celebrates the talkativeness of ‘Amebo’ who still looks quite delectable for her age. Chief Allison plays the talkative bead seller who puts a call through to her daughter, played by Yvonne Jegede in the theatrical television commercial. The phone conversation begins in the morning and goes uninterrupted till evening when Amebo suddenly looks up to discover that not only has darkness fallen on the market, but other traders have closed for the day. When a customer acted by musician, Ego Ogbaru complains about the endless call, Chief Allison (Amebo) retorts “Na you be Glo wey dey dash me credit anyhow?” It was her classic way of showing that when you subscribe to the Amebo tariff plan on the Glo network, you would enjoy a seemingly endless talk time with little recharge. The television commercial underscores the unprecedented volume of call time available to customers to call, chat and network with family and friends on the Globacom network.

Utilize FOI Act to expose corruption, ICPC tasks Nigerians Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC), Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, has called on Nigerians to take advantage of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act to demand accountability from their representatives. Owasanoye made the call in Abakaliki during a town hall meeting with stakeholders in the area. The chairman, who was represented by the South-East Zonal Commissioner of the commission, Amedu Sule, said that it has become necessary for the people at the grassroots to hold their leaders accountable. He said that the spate of corruption in the country has defied all measures by successive administrations to combat the scourge, asserting that “the endemic nature of corruption poses great danger to the economic, social and political stability of any given society. “The poor showing of Nigeria across all indices of development is due mainly to corruption and the brunt of such is borne mainly by citizens at the local level.”

The ICPC chairman said that if the people at the grassroots practice integrity and demand the same from public officials, then there will be good governance. “Public officials will perform more efficiently and transparently when the Federal Ministry of Finance releases allocations to local government councils. The law on FOI empowers the people to request and obtain such information,” he stated. Owasanoye appealed to the participants to avoid corruption in all their dealings as well as educate others to embrace and practice integrity. He added that “we urge you to make reports to the commission where necessary and proactively engage your leaders and hold them accountable. It is only through such citizens’ involvement that we can aspire to have access to an improved quality of life.” According to him, the current efforts by the commission to track constituency projects across the country would require the support of the people at the grassroots, as this

will not only guarantee integrity, but also ensure that the people receive the value for public funds expended to make life easier for the people. In a lecture, the Head of Public Enlightenment Unit of the commission, Godwin Achile, said that the commission was soliciting the partnership of Nigerians to end the menace. Achile described the fight against corruption as a collective responsibility of all Nigerians, saying that the commission cannot do it alone, disclosing that the ICPC has initiated measures, including the Anti-Corruption, Transparency Monitoring Unit, domiciled in Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of the federal government. He said that the National AntiCorruption Volunteer Corps was another effort aimed at enlisting the support of members of the public in the crusade and that the commission was open to collaboration with relevant non-governmental organisations with a view to sensitising members of the public on the ills of corruption.

The statement read: “Undoubtedly, President Muhammedu Buhari has made a wise pick in Senator Omotayo Donald Alasoadura who has demonstrated over the years, an unquenchable desire for excellence, hard work and commitment to assigned responsibilities. “Having had an eventful and memorable stay in the Senate, Alasoadura provided what could be regarded as an immeasurably valuable representation to his people. “It is therefore, without any iota of doubt that Senator Alasoadura will bring to bear, his rich pool of experience to galvanise the needed support for Mr. President’s Next Level Agenda.”

FCT residents demand end to security, Shiite clashes Residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have expressed dismay with the frequent clashes between security operatives and protesting members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria over the continued detention of the sect’s leader, Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zeenat. Concerned residents, who spoke about the development in separate interviews on Wednesday in Abuja, called for dialogue between the federal government and members of the sect. A taxi driver, Kingsley Okafor, who operates on the Banex route, venue of one of the clashes, expressed surprise that the group’s protests which before now were peaceful have turned violent. “What happened here yesterday is different from what we have seen in the past. Because, since this people started their demonstrations for over a year now, we related well with them, we know them, we carry them from Wuse to their destinations and back. “Yesterday, we thought it was the normal routine; I was about to load my vehicle when we started hearing gunshots and teargas and people started running. “We all started running to safety, people were running in various directions for dear life, then the police took over and it grounded our business,’’ he said. Okafor, who likened the current situation to the events that led to the birth of Boko -Haram in Maiduguri, advised the federal government to allow the rule of law to prevail by releasing El-Zakzaky and his wife.

Buhari should act on Obasanjo’s letter, says Gani Adams Adewale Momoh, Akure

Aare Ona Kankafo of Yoruba land, Gani Adams has admonished President Muhammadu Buhari against ignoring the issues raised by the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo in an open letter recently addressed to the President. Adams, who described the letter of the former President as speaking the minds of majority of Nigerians, stated that the series of challenges militating against the country, particularly the issue of insecurity bedevilling her portends enormous danger for the survival of the country. The Aare Ona Kankafo who spoke at this year’s commemoration of the annual Okota festival held at his home town of Arigidi-Akoko in Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo state, emphasized that President Buhari “should open up discussion, debate and dialogue as part of consultations at different levels and the outcome of such deliberations should be collated to form inputs into a national conference.” The Aare who is regarded as the generalissimo of the Yoruba nation, described the level of insecurity in the country as worrisome, stating that the manner at which the daughter of the National Leader of the Pan- Yoruba Socio-political organization, Afenifere was murdered is a reflection of the dire situation Nigeria is currently enmeshed in. “And I make bold as to say that whatever happens in Nigeria today, will surely affect every part of the world. Let me say this for emphasis, that in as much as I am not keen to bragging or blowing my trumpet, I have always had my reservations

for whatever comes from ex -President Olusegun Obasanjo. “But, I think his recent letter to President Muhammadu Buhari speaks volumes of the danger ahead and it really expressed the minds of Nigerians and the world at large. I have always expressed my worries about insecurity and the senseless killings across the nation and the SouthWest in particular. “The gruesome murder of the late Mrs. Funke Olakunrin, along Shagamu/Ore Road was a sad testimony of the terrible situation of the country at the moment. In all these, former President Obasanjo raised issues about mobilisation for national unity, stability, security, cooperation, development, growth and progress. “He said government should open up discussion, debate and dialogue as part of consultations at different levels and the outcome of such deliberations should be collated to form inputs into a national conference. This, as far as I am concerned is to help us come up with the solution that will effectively deal with the issues and lead to development growth, and progress,” he added. While advising the present administration on the way forward, Adams also backed calls by former President Goodluck Jonathan on the need for Buhari to implement the recommendations of the 2014 national conference. According to him, the national conference report fully captures all that is affecting the country and advised the President to learn how to take constructive criticisms in good faith. “I was a member and delegate of the 2014 national conference, and I have it on good authority

that all these have been discussed in the 2014 national conference report, which to me addressed all the issues affecting Nigeria as a nation. “Last Wednesday, former President Goodluck Jonathan also advised Buhari to adopt the reports of the 2014 national conference. I think this is the only solution that will give us a wholesome society and enhanced living standard and livelihood in an inclusive and shared society. “We need unity of purpose and nationally accepted strategic roadmap that will not change with whims and caprices of any government. It must be owned by the citizens, people’s policy and strategy implemented by the government no matter its colour and leaning. “But, the President’s comments that those criticizing him on insecurity are unpatriotic is most unwelcome, particularly, from a leader whose citizens are being killed in their hundreds of thousands on a daily basis. “The President must be seen to be addressing this issue with utmost seriousness and with maximum dispatch and getting all hands on deck to help. If there is failure, the principal responsibility will be that of the President and no one else. “And in conclusion, I think we need to be proactive. We need to use all our efforts and maximum force – political, economic, social, psychological and military to deal successfully with the menace of criminality and terrorism separately and together. Blame game among own forces must be avoided. It is debilitating and only helpful to our adversary. We cannot delay anymore. “It is time to confront this threat headlong and in a manner that is holistic, inclusive and purposeful,” Adams averred.

Bishop pleads with Tiv, Jukun over killings, destruction

The Catholic Bishop of Jalingo Diocese, Most Rev. Charles Hammawa, on Wednesday appealed to Jukun and Tiv people in Wukari Local Government of Taraba state to stop killing each other and embrace peace. Most Rev. Hammawa made the appeal during a peace meeting he convened for Jukun and Tiv stakeholders at the St. Charles Boromeo Pastoral Centre in Jalingo. Daily Times recalls that clashes have erupted between the two rival ethnic groups leading to attacks and counter-attacks that have led to the death of many, and the destruction of many settlements.

as such mediation efforts often got broken hours after they are entered into. But, the bishop, who knelt down before the delegates from the two warring groups, begged them to end the violence and embrace peace. “Peace is the only panacea for development; America owes its massive growth to its ability to keep the peace. I am on my knees begging you. I beg you in the name of God to stop the killings. “I beg you in the name of God to sheath your swords and embrace peace which is the only path to steady development. The time for peace is now; if we defer it till later it might be too late,” he said. The priest urged the delegates from the

two ethnic groups to develop the spirit of give and take because no people can live in isolation, saying that “you must forgive one another, accept one another and love one another. You must work toward a prosperous society that will offer hope for your younger ones.” The bishop appealed to the warring groups to see their diversities as stepping stones to greatness and move away from the destructive path to avert its dangerous consequences. The reconciliatory meeting was attended by representatives of both Tivs and Jukuns who thanked the bishop for his timely intervention and pledged to end the hostilities in the interest of peace.

Olaiya, a lawyer was sacked from civil service in February 2016 by the Ayo Fayose administration which accused him of political participation. The court in a judgment delivered by Justice O.O. Oyewumi, on July 3, 2018, held that Olaiya was not given fair hearing and his sack did not follow due process. The Fayose administration refused to obey the court order despite being served copies of the judgment until the expiration of its tenure on October 15, 2018. Olaiya ran into trouble with the Fayose regime in September 2015 when he warned the ex-governor against diverting the bailout funds received from the federal government to pay arrears of workers’ salaries and retirees’ benefits. The former TUC boss was subsequently, queried by the Fayose administration for speaking to the press on the alleged plan to divert the bailout funds. The Fayose government subsequently, set up an administrative panel of inquiry which recommended Olaiya’s compulsory retirement from service. Apart from being axed from service, Olaiya, who was a principal legal officer in the Ministry of Justice was also demoted from Grade Level 12 to Grade Level 10.

FAAN tasks workers on service delivery Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo As part of efforts to improve service delivery across airports in the country, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) says it’s determined to deliver improved service delivery to ensure passengers have value for their money. This is just as the agency said it has established a Management Taskforce on Service Delivery. The Managing Director FAAN, Capt Rabiu Yadudu, who disclosed this during an interactive forum at the international wing of the Murtala Muhammed Airport(MMA), Lagos, explained that the Tasks force was put together in 2018 and that it was borne out of the negative experiences observed at Enugu International Airport, where service delivery was at a very low ebb. Yadudu who spoke through the General Manager, Customers Service /SERVICOM, Mrs Ebele Okoye, said that the department was actually out to create awareness and sensitisation but that the Taskforce found out that Enugu Airport was operated more as a domestic airport. Yadudu stated that it was also discovered that the interaction of agencies with passengers on service delivery was unhealthy and was not an acceptable global practice and that management was consulted and approval was granted. He added that at Enugu Airport passengers were subjected to severe and unhealthy scrutiny and also kept on queue after arrival for hours in the pretence of searching for hard drugs. Passengers, the MD explained, were meant to declare all currencies even when they have less than the acceptable $10,000, adding that they also go through one on one search to ascertain that no other currency is hidden inside their bodies. Speaking further Yadudu said that the Taskforce also observed that many agencies were found at the scanner on entering the airport which was against the Ease of Doing Business rules of the President. Other issues which the Taskforce found out includes agencies that were supposed to be on surveillance were all found, searching passengers bags, many unaccompanied baggages were passed through carousel for clearing which damaged FAAN facilities, there were obvious begging, extortion of personal effects and money from passengers. The General Manager SERVICOM, Mrs Ebele Okoye in her lecture called for collaboration among various agencies at the airport to ensure positive results and impression from Air travellers. Okoye noted that the there was a need for synergy in order to create a good image for organisations at the airport. She stressed the need for safety at all times adding that security remained everybody’s business and should not be left in the hands of only the security agencies. Mrs Okoye explained that at Enugu Airport, FAAN management gave approval to the Taskforce to visit Kano, Port Harcourt and Abuja Airports to interact with the passengers. She added that the group has since visited these airports and that there was a huge success in the passengers, staff, and stakeholders interface and sued for more collaborations. Okoye contended that airport business is a global phenomenon and must be seen as such no matter the localisation.

AMCON: How Nigeria may lose N5.5trn to bad loans Temitope Adebayo The Federal Government of Nigeria may is on the verge of losing a whopping sum of N5.5 trillion ($15 billion) of bad loans in the banking industry, which was taken over by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) during a banking crisis of more than a decade. There has been great concern over the lack of recovery of the huge toxic, which the country may not be able

to recover from Nigerian companies that have failed to repay the debts they once owed lenders. Speaking on this development at a conference in Lagos on Wednesday, Chief Executive Officer Ahmed Kuru disclosed that delays in litigation is slowing the process, while tepid economic growth is weighing on the ability of businesses to survive. “Modelled on organizations including Ireland’s National Asset Management Agency Ltd. and

Korea Asset Management Corp., AMCON used bonds to bail out 10 lenders and buy more than 12,000 loans from industries including aviation, gasoline marketing and manufacturing after the 2008-09 oil price crash. It’s so far recovered N1 trillion”, he explained. However, reports have shown that AMCON needs to recover the outstanding debts to enable it meet obligations to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), which provided the

cash that was used to repay holders of bonds issued to acquire the loans. He, also, noted that extending the operations of AMCON beyond its 2023 deadline will do more harm than good, because that could encourage bad behaviour in the financial industry and among borrowers. “The federal government should be appropriating the money yearly,’’ required to meet its obligations should the bad debts are not recovered”, he explained.

A multi-stakeholder template can considerably curb cybercrime in Nigeria-NCC Ladesope Ladelokun Owing to the worrying spate of cybercrime in Nigeria and its effects on the economy and image of Nigeria, the Nigerian Communications Commission has stated that only a multi-stakeholder template can considerably curb the menace of cybercrime.

Facebook agrees to pay $5bn for privacy breach allegations Ladesope Ladelokun

IMF raises Nigeria’s economy growth for 2019 to 2.3% Motolani Oseni The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised the growth forecast of Nigeria’s economy for the 2019 financial year by 0.3 per cent to 2.3 per cent. The Fund disclosed this in its July update on the World Economic Outlook with the theme, ‘Sluggish global growth call for supportive policies’. IMF in its January report had revised the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) projection down to two per cent from 2.3 per cent projected in October 2018. On the global outlook, the IMF stated that the global economy is

expected to expand by 3.2per cent in 2019, adding that the revised economic growth figure is 0.1 percentage points lower than what it had forecast in April and is 0.3 percentage points below the fund’s growth estimate at the start of the year. According to the Fund, risks to the forecast are mainly to the downside, they include further trade and technology tensions that dent sentiment and slow investment; a protracted increase in risk aversion that exposes the financial vulnerabilities continuing to accumulate after years of low-interest rates. “Mounting disinflationary pressures that increase debt service difficulties, constrain monetary policy space to counter downturns, and

make adverse shocks more persistent than normal”, the IMF added. Back in May, China and the U.S. hiked tariffs on billions of dollars worth of each other’s goods, stoking fears of a more protracted trade war between the world’s biggest economies. The U.S.-China trade war began last year when the U.S. imposed levies on Chinese imports and China retaliated with tariffs of its own. This conflict has dampened expectations for economic growth and corporate profits. Some companies are also moving their supply chains out of China to avoid tariffs. The IMF points out that global trade volume growth declined to around 0.5% on a year-over-year basis in the first quarter of 2019.

“Weak trade prospects—to an extent reflecting trade tensions—in turn create headwinds for investment,” the IMF said. “The silver lining remains the performance of the service sector, where sentiment has been relatively resilient, supporting employment growth (which, in turn, has helped shore up consumer confidence).” Another factor dampening the global growth outlook is the uncertainty around the UK’s exit from the European Union. In April, the EU and UK agreed to extend the Brexit deadline until Oct. 31. Still, it is not clear whether the two parties will strike a deal to maintain some economic ties before the deadline or if these will be completely severed.

NNPC promises to remit crude proceeds promptly into federation account Michael Ajayi The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has restated its commitment to the prompt payment of proceeds from its operations to the Federation Account and steady supply of petroleum products to Nigerians. This was disclosed by Umar Ajiya, the chief financial officer (CFO) of the corporation, at a strategy session with the heads of account departments of the corporation’s subsidiaries at the NNPC Towers, Abuja. In a statement by Ndu Ughamadu, the

corporation’s group general manager, group public affairs division, he stated that the meeting was part of the initiatives to rally the corporation’s business leaders in support of the new management’s agenda. Ajiya stated that the strategic role of account the directorate was crucial to the realization of the new GMD’s goals and objectives, stressing that there was a need for all managers of accounts to improve on deliverables. “This important meeting is to ensure that the management of Finance and Accounts Directorate corporate-wide are properly briefed on the direction of the new NNPC management and work as a team

to deliver on the GMD’s commitments to the nation among which are: paying what is attributable to the Federation by way of FAAC remittances and meeting up with obligations to all stakeholders as and when due”, he said. The CFO listed eight key areas where the Accounts Directorate can help in actualizing the GMD’s agenda to include: liquidity management; financing for growth; business process improvement, budget and budgetary controls payment system, cost control/discipline, real-time financial reporting, capacity building, autonomy for SBUs, and maintenance of pension funding.

He stated that the GMD’s mandates and commitments have financial implications and pointed out that the Directorate was looking ahead and ready to implement the Direct Debit and Cash Sweep mechanism to grow other businesses for a more viable corporation. He explained the Direct Debit and Cash Sweep concept as a system whereby “the corporate has the right to debit SBUs with excess cash flow by cash-sweeping the excess for the purpose of investing in other SBUs by way of inter-company loan or equity contribution. This way, we can grow several businesses to their full potentials.

NSE supports cancer causes in Nigeria with N20m Temitope Adebayo The Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) has supported support initiatives focused on promoting early detection as well as increasing awareness and advocacy for cancer-related causes in Nigeria with the sum of N20 million. This NSE on Wednesday explained that the donation is in line with its longstanding commitment to reduce the scourge of cancer in the country.

The cash support was made known to participants at the 2019 edition of the annual NSE Corporate Challenge by Oscar N. Onyema OON, Chief Executive Officer, NSE. Onyema, who expressed delight at the donation said, “SWe are pleased to have hosted a very successful 6th edition of the NSE Corporate Challenge which recorded over 800 people in attendance. In addition to the total proceeds from previous editions, The exchange has committed to

donating a sum of N20 million to scale up impact in screening and early detection of cancer. These funds will be channelled for the implementation of specific cancer-focused projects in partnership with technical partners.” “Since the launch of the NSE’s cancer awareness and fundraising campaign in 2014, a total sum of N63 million has been raised through sponsorship and participation. We are pleased that NSE Corporate Challenge has grown into a

signature cancer advocacy and a fundraising event that many institutions are fast associating with to contribute their quota in raising awareness and funds to fight cancer”, added Onyema The donation by NSE will be used to bolster ongoing efforts by NSE’s technical partners to improve access to cancer support services and increase access for those in underserved communities to qualitative cancer consultation regardless of their level of health insurance or ability to pay.

Social networking firm, Facebook, on Wednesday, agreed to pay a record $5 billion to settle an ongoing investigation into allegations of privacy violations. The settlement with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also said the company will increase its board members for additional oversight of its privacy policy, according to several U.S. media reports. Facebook has long denied allegations of compromising user data to advertisers, amongst other claims. But the latest settlement will also see CEO Mark Zuckerberg relieved of final authority over privacy decisions. An independent privacy committee of the company’s board will now take final decisions on issues bordering on users’ privacy. Billions of people use Facebook and its subsidiaries, which include Instagram and WhatsApp.

NGO trains 10,000 youths in $15m Agric project An international development organization, Cuso has trained over 10,000 Nigerian youths in its 15 million Canadian dollar Youth Leadership Entrepreneurship Access and Development (YOULEAD) Project. Cuso Country Representative, Mr Ebrima Sonko, made this known at its YOULEAD Learning and Sharing Forum in Abuja on Wednesday. YOULEAD is a five-year project, implemented by Cuso, in partnership with Cross River State Government and other partners, and funded by the Canadian Government through Global Affairs Canada. Sonko said that of the 10,000 youths that had been trained, the organisation had assisted 3,500 to be gainfully engaged. He said that the project, which was being implemented in Cross River, was meant to create a supportive platform for young people to have access to information on value chains, training opportunities and employment information. He said that while the project was streamlined to Cross River, it accommodated all eligible youths from different parts of the country, residing in Cross River. “The project value is 15 million Canadian dollars and it is funded by the Canadian government through Global Affairs Canada. “Our interventions are at different levels, the technical training on entrepreneurship and more than 10,000 youths have been trained and out of that, 3500 have been put on jobs to ensure they started something. “I am sure you are wondering what happens to the gap. “We do not have the financing means to put everybody in business and not all the people that you train are actually meant for entrepreneurship but the good thing is that once they have that orientation, they goahead to start their own business,” he said. The country representative disclosed that the project, which was due to wrap up in December, had impacted tremendously on the lives of the youths from surveys carried out so far. “The programme started some five years back to respond to the key issues we found in our analysis in Cross River, including high level of unemployment.

Reps member challenges Sanwo-Olu, Gbajabiamila, others over impending flood in Lagos Stories by Patrick Okohue A member of the House of Representatives, Hon Mufutau Egberongbe, has called the attention of the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and Speaker House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila to the impending disaster in Apapa and other parts of Lagos State as a result of issues with the ‘system 5’ drain. In a statement by his media office in Lagos, Egberongbe also urged the Lagos State House of Assembly under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa to urgently rescue the situation to avoid unexpected flooding and spread of diseases. According to him, “There is need for these leaders to, as a matter of urgency, assist in clearing the ‘System 5’ drain. “This drain travels from Onilegogoro in the Surulere area through Gasikiya Road in Apapa Iganmu and leads to the drain by Government Press in Ajeromi Ifelodun Local Government Area. “It will be appreciated if the drain is cleared during this raining season to stem incidences of

Egberongbe flooding and mitigate against polio-related diseases now that we propagate preventive health care,” the statement added. The lawmaker noted that his decision to call the attention of the governor, the House of Representatives and state Assembly speakers to the danger lurking around the parts of

Lagos was because of their zeal and passion for humanity and development of the state. According to him, it is necessary to prevent what can later become an emergency. He appealed to Speaker Gbajabiamila to help call on the federal agencies to partner with the Lagos State government in order to immediately and easily clear the drain as well as others in such condition across the state. It can be recalled that Hon Egberongbe recently called for the reactivation of the railway system in Apapa to ease movement of goods from the port in the area to other parts of the country as part of measures to resolve the traffic bottlenecks around the area. The lawmaker, who urged the officials at the port to engage the use of modern cargo tracking equipment and scanners for their operations, had added: “I want to ask that they should accelerate the issue of the port ongoing in Badagry and that of the Lekki Free Trade zone for the decongestion of the Apapa while, in the long run, the railway and the water transportation facilities in the state should be rejuvenated.”

Lagos lawmaker, Afinni sets up 11 Committees to help him achieve effective representation In a bid to record giant strides and fulfill his campaign promises to his constituency, a newly elected member of the Lagos State House of Assembly representing Lagos Island Constituency ll, Hon. Lanre Afinni has inaugurated 11 different committees, which will work with him to achieve his objectives and set goals for his constituency. The inauguration of the committees was held on Friday at the prestigious Holy Cross Primary School, Lagos Island. Members of the committees, according to the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the lawmaker, Ajagbe AdeyemiTeslim include politicians, technocrats, opinion moulders, religious leaders, and community leaders. The committees are Education, Employment/ Economic Empowerment, Health, Sport, Youth, Elders, Environment, Women Affairs, Market, Physical Project, Empowerment, Special duties/Advisory and Media and Publicity Committee. Each Committee comprises a Chairman, Secretary and nine other members. The Education Committee is headed by Mr, Ahmed Olaufe, as chairmen; Employment/ Economic Empowerment, Alhaji Soji Bada, Health, Hon. Musiliu Mayegun, Youth and Sport, Mr, Ayodele Gbagura, Elders, Mr, Fatai Olateju, and Women Affairs, Mrs Jibike Shabiolegbe. Others are Physical Project, Mr, Sola Jones, Environment, Alhaji Monsuru Sulaimon, Market/Artisans/Barracks, Mr Tajudeen Ajiboye, Special Duties/ Advisory, Mr, Akinola Akinjiyan, Media

and Publicity, Hon. Monsuru Oteshade. Speaking at the inauguration, Hon. Afinni thanked the members of the committees for their roles during the party primaries, and general election, adding that their best was yet to come, but that he needed their ideas and support, saying that he could not do it alone. According to the lawmaker, “I have called upon you today to reveal my programmes to you. You are my partners in progress as I believe in your capability. “I need your advice, I don’t want to run my programmes at a loss. What is the essence of great ideas without executing them with competent hands like you or running a programme without positive results? I want you all to go round the constituency to listen to the yearnings of our electorates. “Let me know their plight and let’s have a round table discussion to solve them. I can’t do it without your support and cooperation.” Emphasising on the reason behind each of the committees, the lawmaker stated that he came up with the Education Committee, for instance, because he believed that the best legacy one could give a child is education. “On Employment and the Economy, an idle hand is the devil’s workshop. On Health, cleanliness is next to godliness and as a youth, I will speak for the youth. “On Sport, all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. On Women Affairs, the people I love most are women because they are the salt of the world.

“Concerning Market, we all know the popular saying that “Oloja lonibo,” which means the market men and women are those who produce the largest numbers of votes during election. “On Elders, if we can take care if our elders definitely the coming generation will look after us too,” he said. Responding, a representative of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the local government area, Mr, Kamal Oyeboh a.k.a Didan owo confessed that he was not a supporter of the lawmaker during the struggle for the party’s ticket, but that he was impressed with the committees the lawmakers had just inaugurated. Oyeboh stated that if the committees would work vigorously in accordance with the good motives of the lawmaker and help him achieve his aim, there was no one that could stop the lawmaker from representing Lagos Island 11 for five consecutive terms in the state house of assembly. A 75-year-old Community leader, who is also the Head of Gomez Chieftaincy family and Chairman of the Elder’s Committee, Mr, Fatai Olatunji said that since his involvement in Lagos politics he had never seen any lawmaker forming such committees. He added that if all the outlined projects in the committees were carried out successfully, there was no single reason all the old people in Lagos Island would not sacrifice their last sweat for the lawmaker to be voted back into office in 2023.

Buhari

Buhari group says US Visa ban on some politicians an indication of Buhari’s global popularity A pro-Buhari media organisation, the Buhari Media Organisation (BMO) has described the visa restriction order imposed on a category of Nigerian politicians by the United States government, as another indication of President Muhammadu Buhari’s acceptance and popularity in the comity of nations, which it said clearly exonerated the present administration in the country. The BMO said it was instructive that the United States is taking the step in spite of efforts by opposition figures led by the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, to turn the US government against the newly elected government with false narratives. The group in a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke, that the US State Department’s position showed the futility of the opposition’s efforts to demonise the government before, during and after the 2019 elections. “We acknowledge the decision by the American government to impose visa ban on individuals responsible for undermining the last electoral process or organising election-related violence. It is in line with a warning the US issued before the election, and we note that it is within the rights of the Americans to do so. “And by making it clear that the actions are not directed at the government that emerged from the process, the US has tacitly cleared the Buhari administration of involvement in acts of political violence inspite of efforts by lobbyists engaged by the PDP to taint the President’s victory. “This is a welcome decision considering that the US specifically targeted officials of the Venezuelan government and their family members when it imposed visa restrictions on the country in the wake of recent election in that country,” it

addez. The pro-Buhari group expressed hope that the visa restriction would cover individuals who threatened violence if their candidates failed to win the last elections, as well as others who freely used hate speech on social and traditional media in the run up to the election. BMO said: “Nigerians can easily recall how some highly placed opposition figures told the world before the Presidential election that the spate of violence in the country would increase if President Buhari was re-elected for a second term. “That comment was not only inciting but also ominous in a country with a history of postelection violence. Like many Nigerians, we drew attention to the irresponsible and unguarded statement and urged the opposition party to caution its members, but surprisingly it did not see anything wrong with it. “There was also a slew of hate speeches on social media by key opposition figures and there was also at least one instance where an opposition spokesman in Kaduna State was filmed instigating party loyalists to take up arms against members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “And although U.S. privacy regulations prohibit the American government from naming the individuals affected by the restrictions, we hope that they would be meticulous in identifying individuals who actually fomented violence during and after the election.” BMO also welcomed Washington’s expression of its commitment to work with President Buhari to strengthen democracy, end corruption and improve respect for human rights. “It is particularly reassuring that the US is extending a hand of fellowship to the Buhari administration to stamp out corruption in the country,” BMO added.

Reigning Commonwealth champion, Nigeria’s Odunayo Adekuoroye has set a gold medal target for herself at both the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and next month’s Africa Games billed for next month in Morocco. In a chat, the World wrestling silver medalist, who won gold in her 57kg category at the Yasar Dogu Ranking Series event held in Istanbul, Turkey, said he aim is to become the best in her category. The Ondo State born wrestler says she needed more financial supports from government, individuals and private sector in order to achieve her target. “Like I used to say, hard work

pays. I work so very hard, with my coach, working on my weak and strong areas and I know expectations keep rising towards the Africa Games this year and the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo and I believe by the special grace of God I will win gold for Nigeria at both competitions. “I want to use this opportunity to ask for assistance from the federal government, private companies, individuals, most especially the Governor of my state, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State. I really need their support financially towards my Olympic quest. “I want to say thank you to all

the people behind my success. My father in the Lord, the General Overseer of Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, and his wife, President of the Nigeria Wrestling Federation, Hon Daniel Igali, my coach Akuh Purity, they are the best. To my family, my biological parents, I love you very much. To my fans all over the world, thanks for believing in me, thanks for your support, I really appreciate. I believe with my performance at the last World Ranking Series in Istanbul, Turkey, I will be one of the best in my weight class,” the world No. 4 wrestler said.

Yetunde Odunuga fails to qualify for Africa Games Fadilat Tijani upset favourite, Commonwealth Games bronze medalist Yetunde Odunuga, to win the women’s 60kg fight at the national trials at the Brai Ayonote Boxing Complex, National Stadium, Lagos, to automatically book a slot in Nigeria’s boxing team for the Africa Games. Fadilat Tijani scored a split decision victory over a shocked Odunuga with many of the fans, mostly from the Nigerian Army protesting the decision. Odunuga’s shocking defeat was the prelude for a bad day for the soldiers as more army boxers lost their scheduled fights.

2015 African Games silver medalist, Caroline Linus lost her 51kg female fight to two-time Lagos Governor’s Belt champion, Ayisat Oriyomi while Osita Umeh lost to the superior punches from a determined AbdulAfeez Osoba in the Men’s 69kg fight. There was a mild drama trailing Umeh’s loss as some soldiers became agitated and wanted to disrupt proceedings but were quickly subdued and asked to vacate the venue. When the programme restarted, Lawal Lukmon beat veteran Ekele Danuloko in their 81kg men’s fight while Yusuf Adeniji overpowered

Micheal Adesodun in the 56kg class. National Festival gold medalist, Adejumola Toyin beat Mary Ekong in the women’s 75kg fight while Gabriel Francis recorded a narrow split decision victory over Arinze Franklin. Imoleayo Adebayo won his +91kg fight against Segun Ibrahim in the last fight for the trials. The Nigeria Boxing Federation (NBF) announced that camping for the 12th Africa Games, which will take place from 19 to 31 August 2019 in Rabat, Morocco, will commence immediately after the trials.

Manny Pacquiao calls out Floyd Mayweather for rematch Filipino senator Manny Pacquiao challenged Floyd Mayweather to face him again in the ring on Wednesday as the retired American star taunted him about fighting on into his forties. Both fighters last met in 2015 in a match dubbed ‘Fight of the Century’. Mayweather won. Pacquiao, 40, who beat Keith Thurman on a split decision at the weekend, bit back at Mayweather on social media after the American accused him of trading on his name. “You come to my fight and then use my name in a post but I’m the one that is trying to stay relevant? if you want to be relevant again… #MayPac2,” Pacquiao tweeted. Mayweather, who retired at 40 in 2017 with the unprecedented win-loss record of 50-0, had earlier claimed that Pacquiao’s “entire legacy and career has been built off its association with my name”. “It’s about time you all stop using my brand for clout chasing and clickbait and let that man’s name hold weight of its own,” he posted

on Instagram. “When we finally fought, I won so easily that everyone had to eat their words!” added Mayweather, alongside a picture of his 2015 defeat of Pacquiao. But Mayweather, who was ringside in Las Vegas as Pacquiao became the oldest welterweight world champion in boxing history, stayed silent about a rematch as he

answered the Filipino in a later post. “Bottom line, I make more money than you… I beat you mentally, physically and financially!” he wrote. “Remember, you fight cause you have to, I fight when I want to!” Mayweather is one of just seven pro fighters to have beaten Pacquiao, the only boxer to have won world titles in eight weight divisions.

Andy Murray to team up with brother Jamie at Washington Open Andy Murray will team up with his brother Jamie at the Washington Open, reuniting the pairing that helped Great Britain win the Davis Cup in 2015. Andy, who had hip surgery in January, made a victorious return to the courts in June, winning the doubles at Queen’s with Spain’s Feliciano Lopez. The 32-year-old threetime Grand Slam singles champion was knocked out of the men’s doubles early in Eastbourne and at Wimbledon, also reaching the third round at the All England Club with Serena Williams in the mixed doubles. “They called us and said Andy really wanted to come back to DC and wanted to play doubles with his brother,” said Mark Ein, tournament manager, in comments reported by the BBC. “We’re putting a real

focus on doubles at the event — it’s a terrific piece of the competition and entertainment value for fans so we were thrilled he wanted to return.” Jamie Murray, 33, won the Washington doubles title last year with former partner Bruno Soares, a pairing that also won Australian and US Open titles. Andy Murray has ruled

out playing singles at next month’s US Open, indicating it could take up to 18 months before he feels ready to return. His last singles match was at the Australian Open in January, where he was defeated in five sets in the first round by Spain’s Roberto Bautista Agut. The Washington Open starts on July 27 and runs until August 4.

Zakky: Of ‘necessity’ and ‘law’

Sports THURSDAY, JULY 25, 2019

VOL. 3

NO. 999

N100

Times Guest Columnist By Mohammed Adamu

“Whatever necessity lies upon thee, endure, whatever she commands, do”. –Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe There is no virtue they say like ‘necessity’. Necessity leaves us with no choice but to do that which we have to do. Reason it is said that ‘necessity does the work of courage’. It leaves us with a ‘have-to’ imperative; or a Hobson’s choice if you will. But only if what we truly want is result. Necessity although a lonesome window, is risk-free. Its return on investment is always guaranteed. We are vain by nature but honest by ‘necessity’. Doing the ‘necessary’ proves our ‘honesty’. And it is the reason they say that ‘necessity’ relieves us of decision making; we do not have to decide ourselves, because a decision is already waiting to be taken. Necessity is Shakespeare’s ‘To be or not to be’; it is Nicolo Machiavelli’s prescription for The Prince –to ‘do or to die’! It is the Afro-American’s ‘a man has gotta do what a man has gotta do’. Necessity is not your legalistic ‘ce cera, cera’ (or ‘what’ll be will be’) that lamely waits on chance. Necessity invents remedies to existential problems. Reason they say it is the mother of invention’. The law may sometimes be wrong pre-fixing presumptive rules of conduct; but ‘necessity’ is always right dealing only with the ‘here-and-now’. It is –as the Hausas would say- ‘sha yanzu magani yanzu’. The mojo of ‘necessity’ is the instantaneity of its result. Socrates neglected it to die in reverence of the unjust law. Necessity is the ‘ought to’ dimension of law. It is what the law should’ve been but regrettably ‘is’ not. In truth therefore the relationship between ‘necessity’ and the ‘law’ is as that between the Supreme Court and infallibility: the apex Court is said to be ‘final not because it is infallible’, but that ‘it is infallible only because it is final’. Necessity knows what to be done not because it knows the ‘law’, but that it knows the ‘law’ only because it knows what ought to be done. Meaning that it is what is ‘necessary’ that should be law, and not that whatever is law should be ‘necessary’. The defense of ‘self-defense’ acknowledges the right of individuals –without appearing first before a judge, to prove the existence of threat to their livesto do whatever is ‘necessary’,

including killing, to preserve themselves. And if so then, why should not governments – whenever necessary- restrict or curtail the freedoms of a few in order to guarantee the freedoms of all? Why should not a few erring citizens be inconvenienced in order that the many law-abiding ones may be comforted? Or why should a few deviant ones not be punished –including capitallyin order that the majority who conform are secure? One of Great Britain’s former Prime Ministers, William Pitt was right, “necessity is the argument of tyrants”, yes; but if you ask me I would say ‘a sound argument at that!’ I have asked previously: ‘what manner of ‘law’ would require that Dasuki, be set free by whom a whooping 2.1 billion dollars counter-insurgency funds was stolen, bequeathing to us a debilitating insurgency –the Boko Haram- that has now deteriorated from manageable benignity to intractable malignancy? Or what manner of ‘law’ would require that a man such as ElZakzakky be set free, by whom a subversive and mutinous religious sect –the Shi’a- is groomed to challenge the sovereign authority of a democratically elected Government? –over its people, its territory including over the right of easement by its armed forces? What sovereign power would be hamstrung by its own laws not to put down –by any means ‘necessary’- an insurrection hoisted by a foreign flag against its authority. Or what manner of ‘law’ will insist that those who defy the laws of the land to steal the patrimony of all or those who disdain the law to invite anarchy on their country, are the most entitled to the ‘just’ treatment of the law without derogation? “Civil dissension” Shakespeare wrote, “is a viperous worm that gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth”. Barry Goldwater, author of ‘The Conscience Of A Conservative’ was the one who said “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice (even as) moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue”. A president should be out in spite of everything, including the law, and in spite of everyone, including the people, to secure the nation and to preserve its endowments. IN DEFENCE OF THE CJN’S ORBITER They said that the CJN, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad when

he was asked about the vagaries of ‘legal technicalities’ at his recent Senate screening, he chose to speak about ‘planes’ and ‘pilots’. It appeared the analogy was lost on many who did not bother to find out what sense the CJN was laboring to make. Those who know even a modicum of law understood the man perfectly. It was mostly some of the malevolent lay ones that attempted to make a mountain out of a puny little mole hill that they did not understand. The CJN was talking about the province of procedure -as against substantive- law which usually is the area of law fraught with or susceptible to the technical manipulation of lawyers. And he was explaining that whenever the court is seized of a matter that lends itself to the hubris of technicalities, judges usually invite experts in the relevant area of technical knowledge to give what, in ‘The law of Evidence’, is termed ‘expert evidence’. He cited the pilot as example of an expert who judges may invite to educate the Court on flying. And he said that although judges are not a ‘pilots’ they are bound to rely on the evidence of a pilot, to resolve a technical issues related to planes or flying. As for ‘driving’ a plane, a faux pas which many said was unbecoming of a Chief Justice, I say yes, planes are flown; but they are also ‘driven’ -at least to and from the tarmac. Tell me that is called ‘taxiing’ and not ‘driving’ and I will ask: ‘is a plane a ‘cab’ to be taxied’? Besides, a ‘car’ has two gears: a ‘drive gear’ and a ‘reverse gear’. Don’t you think that a ‘plane’ -being both terrestrially driven and aeronautically flown- should have four? That is: a ‘DRIVE gear’, a ‘reverse gear’, a ‘take-off gear’ and a ‘landing gear’? So that contrary to popular view, you can actually ‘drive’ a ‘plane’ even as you fly it. But because it is the white man that calls the ‘driving’ of a plane ‘taxiing’, we have no problem with that usage -the meticulous users of the English language that we are. By the way, we ‘ride’ a car also, yet we say the same thing when we mount a donkey or a horse -ride. But are donkeys and horses cars to be ridden? Then again, what do we say concerning a ship? -’swim it’? Do not be fooled by the haphazard choice of usages in the English language. Allow the CJN the right to poetic license.

FIFA bans Liberia’s Musa Bility for ten years FIFA has given Liberian official, Musa Bility, a 10-year ban from football for financial offences, the sport’s world governing body said on Wednesday. Bility, a member of the African Confederation (CAF) executive committee and former president of the Liberian federation (LFA), was found guilty of misappropriating FIFA’s funds, according to the organisation. An investigation opened after an audit of LFA accounts revealed various payments made and received from entities owned by Bility or his family, said FIFA. Bility was also fined 500,000 Swiss francs (507,300 dollars). Earlier this week Bility had said he would contest FIFA’s decision to take oversight of the operational management of CAF from Aug. 1 to Jan. 31, 2020.
