Survivors relive night of horror at Deeper Life Church

F

OUR more victims of the Okene church shootings were buried yesterday. But the survivors are still struggling to free themselves from the hangover of the horror, which many of them are reliving. The gunmen, who stormed the Deeper Life Bible Church on Monday, used torchlights to identify victims writhing in pains before shooting them to death, The Nation learnt yesterday. “They put off the light and started shooting kakakakaa,” an eyewitness said. Eleven of the 17 church members confirmed dead have so far been buried. Four were buried on Tuesday,

Presidency weighs Gusau’s terms •Dambazau on standby for Defence Minister From Yusuf Alli, Abuja

T

HE Presidency is weighing its options on the terms given by a former National Security Adviser, Gen. Aliyu Gusau (rtd), for accepting the offer of Minister of Defence. The post became vacant following the removal of Dr. Haliru Bello by President Goodluck Jonathan. A former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Abdurahman Dambazau, is said to have been put on standby, should Gen. Gusau decline the offer. The President, it was gathered, may make up his mind next week on who to name for the job. According to a government source, Gusau has given three conditions for accepting the offer. They are: •free hands to operate; •a waiver to do whatever he can to salvage the security challenges facing the nation; and •opportunity to resign anytime, if he is displeased with the situation or if he feels that he has fulfilled his mission in the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

Pastor Emmanuel Lambe hailed from Offa in Kwara State. He was the former Head of Department of the School of Preliminary Studies at the Kogi State Polytechnic, Lokoja, a Physics lecturer and the Pastor-in-Charge of Deeper Life churches in Adavi Local Government Area, until last Monday when gunmen killed him at a branch of the church at Eika-Adagu, Otite in Okehi Local Government Area of Kogi State. His widow, Mrs. Caroline Oluremi Lambe, told Sanni Onogu how the news of her 57-year old husband’s death was broken.

Last Monday, the late Pastor Emmnauel Lambe had visited a location because he told me he was going to the first location. So, I said: ‘It is ok; you will come and meet us.’ He said ‘yes’. So, when it was around 7.52pm, I gave him a call because I had a message for him. I said ‘where are you now?’ He said ‘I am at the

second location to see the children teachers because we’re planning for children holiday programme.’ He said he wanted to see them and see how far they had gone with the arrangements. I said ‘okay; are you coming back?’ He said ‘no’, that he would from there move back to the first location. I don’t know for what reason. That was how I switched off. Within 10 or 15 minutes later, the usher in the location where we were then just saw two men moving to the back of the church and the men looked strange. So, he said they should

HE Muslim umbrella body in the North, the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) yesterday expressed concern over the increasing wave of insecurity in the country. It condemned the attack on the Deeper Life Church in Okene by men suspected to members of the Boko Haram insurgent group. In a statement by the Secretary General, Dr. Khalid Aliyu Abubakar, the group urged Muslims to continue to pray for peaceful coexistence. The JNI also commiserated with the people of Okene and the Kogi State government over the terrorist act unleashed on them. The statement reads: “Jama’atu Nasril Islam under the leadership of His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto and President-General, JNI, Alhaji (Dr) Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar, CFR, mni, wishes to felicitate with the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria over the successful start of the Ramadan fast on Friday, 20th July, 2012, alhamdulillaah. “Similarly, bearing in mind that the last ten days of Ramadan has commenced, therein Laylatul Qadr (T he Night of Power), Muslims are called upon to utilize properly the spirit of Ramadan and recite more of the Glorious Qur’an, be punctual in the observance of obligatory prayers, Taraweeh, Tahajjud in congregation and intensify the giving of offerings (Sadaqat). “More so, it is expected that we give Zakatul Fitr (Ordained alms

giving at the end of Ramadan fast), therefore, the JNI calls on all to give it out on time and to the needy. “In addition, Muslims are once more called upon to pray fervently for the peaceful co-existence of Nigeria. In the same vein JNI commiserates with the good people of Okene, and the Kogi State Government over the dastardly terrorist act unleashed on them and equally condemns the act in totality. “Once more, we wish all Muslim faithfuls happy Ramadan fast and it is our prayer that Almighty Allah will count us among those whom their Ramadan fasting will be accepted, and see the celebration of the forthcoming eid-el-fitr successfully, ameen.” The Director General of the National Orientation Agency (NOA), Mr. Mike Omeri, has condemned the killings. He said those who committed the atrocity need to seek forgiveness from God. Omeri said: “We must accept ourselves the differences in our society as a fact of our life and indeed begin to live as one. The strength in our diversity far outweighs the perceived weaknesses of the large number of people that God has put together in our country. Two things bind us together: our humanity with red blood running in our veins and our claim to Nigerian nationhood.” The chairman of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) in Cross River State, Bishop Emmah Isong, has

stop the preaching so that we could go home because he was suspecting something. There was disagreement. Some people argued against it. I said ‘let us know what is happening before we move so that we will not enter into what we are running from’. Later, they said we should put off the generator so that we could escape in the darkness to our homes. That was how we came back. On my way, I was busy calling him to see where he was. I knew I couldn’t get him but since there was problem somewhere, he would be there. So, I called. The phone was ringing; nobody was picking it. I called the other number. The daughter also called. I said, ‘okay, let’s just go home and wait’. So, we began to call those we could call that are not pastors. From some, there was response; some said they entered that church and they shot so many people. I said, ‘what of the pastor?’ He said he would tell me later. That was how I was held in suspense, until later around 11pm I phoned my Regional Overseer’s wife and told

her ‘please come and carry me. I want to know what is happening. What of my husband?’ She said I should stay that they were coming to meet me at home. That was how I was kept there and remained until around 5.20am in the morning that I

saw all the leaders. They just came and told me he was shot. That he had died as a martyr. He died in the service of the Lord. I too will continue so that we will meet there together. I accepted it because he was a loving husband. He cared. He was my pas-

tor. He was my teacher. All along he had been the one taking care of me because I have no father, I have no mother and the Lord had been using him to take care of me. But I know since God had permitted it, He will surely care for us. That is our consolation. He gave us hope and we will remain. We will continue to serve the Lord because our God is worthy to be worshipped. No matter what happens, we will still continue to serve the Almighty God. Actually, we would have loved to be together but as God would have it, He wanted him at this time. So, we have no option, but to surrender to the Almighty God. He knows everything and He owns us and whenever he needs us, we have no option but to surrender. So, I surrender to him. He gives and he takes at any time. If it were to be humanly speaking, we want to be together. We planned together. There are many things we hoped to do, even this

month, not to mention other years to come, but God said He needs him more than me. There was nothing strange on that day to suggest that such a calamity could occur! He was so happy that Monday. He was chatting and interacted freely with the daughter. He was so happy. The last time he dropped me, the last conversation we had physically, he was even joking. He said ‘okay, everybody should keep quiet’. I should not talk; he too would not talk. I said ‘we will see who will talk first.’ He said ‘no’, he would see who will laugh first. So, I laughed. He said ‘ehen now you have started.’ The moment was so cordial and fine. After dropping me, he said, ‘please, don’t back the vehicles. Make sure you go on the right track where you can see vehicles coming, not that you will back them.’ That was the last statement he made. There was nothing to show that anything was going to happen.

A, PFN lament growing insecurity Police ‘force Okene residents indoors’

R

ESIDENTS of Okene, Kogi State remained indoors for the second day running yesterday. Although the curfew imposed by the state government following the killing of members of the Deeper Life Church and two soldiers in Okene by gunmen was from “dusk-to-dawn”, residents have chosen to extend it. A source said this might not be unconnected with the shooting spree by Police, who were doing “Operation Show of Force” round the town. The police, driving in a convoy of Hilux pickup vans and an anti-bomb squad car, were patrolling the major streets and shooting intermittently into the air. The Nation observed that some vehicles abandoned by their drivers on sighting the policemen had their windscreens shattered and tyres deflated. Most travellers on the highways had their vehicles thoroughly searched by soldiers at road blocks before being allowed to proceed. Some residents condemned the destructions allegedly carried out by the police. Apart from the vehicles, some of the police security vans were carrying motorcycles allegedly confiscated from commercial motorcyclists. At Ihima, the police allegedly smashed the windscreens of a taxi parked in

a compound close to the road and deflated the tyres with gun shots. At Idoji, this reporter observed that a motorcycle was placed on top timbers on sale and set ablaze when the police allegedly shot the fuel tank of the bike. Another overhead water tank near the same area had its content gushing out after the police allegedly fired bullets into it. A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the activities of the police may further worsen the already tense situation. According to him, “if members of the JTF continue to burn and wilfully destroy property, the people may be forced to retaliate. It is supposed to be the duty of the members of the JTF to maintain peace and not to cause the people further harm. “Most victims of the happenings are indigenes. So, I don’t know why they should continue to do what they are doing. “I think they should stop destruction and concentrate on protecting life and property in order to facilitate the resolution of this crisis.”

urged Christians to defend themselves. In an interview with The Nation in Calabar, Isong said although violence can never be a solution to violence, it is a sin for anybody to be attacked without defending himself. He said: “Violence can never be a solution to violence. If you write a black chalk on a blackboard, you would not see what you have written. But let me also add that it is also a sin for anybody to be killed over and over and you are still saying that you should not defend yourself. It is a sin. It is a sin not only against God, but also

“As much as the government is doing something, individual people, individual churches should go about their normal businesses but with a natural instinct that in case anything happens, you should be able to, for the mean time, defend yourself.

But, for instance, you are in a meeting and you see ten people coming at you chanting songs and you do nothing; in fact, the Federal Gov-

ernment should even after your death, prosecute you for being an accomplice to your own murder. And if there is any way to resurrect you and take you to court, it should be done. “As I said, the first solution is prayer.

Samuel Nyamida, said members from three branches had congregated at the church for a Bible Study when the gunmen struck. Nyamida lost a 17 years old cousin Master Ismaila Jana. One of his sons had a bullet brush on his neck. The boy is said to be receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, (FMC) Lokoja. He said eight of his children, including his cousins, were in church on that fateful day. One of his daughters, Joy, saw one of the gunmen. One of the gunmen was

said to have told the worshippers that “we are here to finish all of you!” Nyamida, in tears, said: “We were on a Bible Study, our usual Bible Study every Monday. The service started around 6pm. So we commenced the other preambles before the General Overseer, Pastor W.F. Kumuyi, will come on board via satellite. “That is even what brought many of us together, if not we would have held our services at different locations. I was around. I took my children to the church. The pastor was ministering. I left there for the clinic. “I was actually with a member of the church, who

lost his wife. We always stay and move around the church to ensure that everything is safe. “It was a call that made me to leave the church for the clinic. When this thing happened, I then said, ‘let me rush so that I can join the programme midway’. After picking what I wanted to go and give to this patient, I became very restless and weak. I just went in. “I did not even take my bath. I put on another trousers. The top I wore since morning was still on me. I was about to kick my car, the next thing I heard was the sound of gunshot ‘poropopopo, popo, popo pro.’

“I then said ‘where is this sound coming from?’ Then, I ran out, going towards the church because there is a generator there; this infinity, that used to make that kind of noise and even the community had complained about it. “I thought it was the generator but I did not feel okay. I said, ‘let me move to that place’. While I was going, before I branched off the highway, I saw one of my daughters carrying my small baby on her back, I said ‘what happened?’’ One elderly woman was holding her stomach shouting in Ebira dialect’ ‘They shot my stomach, they shot my stomach.’ “I said ‘is it in the church?’

They said ‘yes.’ And about eight of my children were there. I just carried those two and that mama who was complaining of having been shot in the stomach. I rushed her to the clinic for medical attention. “I went back immediately. ‘Do I go to the security men?’ I felt they would delay. But since my children were there I risked it. On getting there, everywhere was dark. “The generator was on but there was no electricity supply. There was nobody. I saw cars parked. I ran inside and I was able to see dimly coming out of their hideouts. I used my handset torch to see people sprawling on the floor. Continued on Page 8

The source said: “The President is weighing options on these conditions because it has some implications for managing the nation’s security challenges. “Although it is not new for ministerial nominees to give conditions before accepting appointment, the defence ministry is sensitive. “The concern of the government is the request for free hands to operate as a defence minister where there is a sitting Commander-In-Chief. “I think Gusau is seeking a faster approach to issues bordering on security instead of being bogged down by bureaucratic bottlenecks.” Asked about the response of the President, the source said: “I think by Tuesday, Jonathan would have wrapped up issues surrounding the appointment of a minister of defence. “The focus of the President is to have a minister of defence who can provide leadership and direction for the armed forces and security agencies, in view of the security problems at hand.” The source said the President might think of a Plan B, if Gusau is adamant on the conditions he gave. “As part of Plan B, a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Abdurrahman Dambazau (rtd) is being considered. “But, by next week, the real position of the government might be known. The President has a mindset on his target and how to go about it. Apart from Gen. Gusau and Gen. Dambazau, others speculated for the defence portfolio are Gen. Bitrus Boka Ushe (rtd) from Kebbi State and a former Director of Military Intelligence, Col. Halilu Akilu.

Clinton: US, Nigeria to join forces against Boko Haram

N

NIGERIA’s precarious security situation topped discussions yesterday between top government officials and the United States at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The US Secretary of State Mrs Hillary Clinton was in Abuja as part of her African tour. She met with President Goodluck Jonathan, top government functionaries and security chiefs. Mrs. Clinton has visited Senegal, Uganda, South Sudan, Kenya, Malawi and South Africa. She is expected to attend the funeral of the late Ghanaian President John Attah Mills, today in Accra. She arrived at the Villa at 3:54pm and left at 6:15pm. She told President Jonathan of the United State’s offer to help fight Boko Haram insurgency because Washington is concerned about insecurity spreading. “Northern Nigeria also borders Chad, it borders Cameroon, it borders Niger and we are concerned this radicalism could undermine the security of neighbouring states,” a senior U.S. official said. “A security strategy is not enough,” the official added. Military crackdowns have had mixed results, reducing

CAN demands ‘truth-based’ terror reports from US

T

HE Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has urged the United States to work with it to achieve a truth-based peaceful resolution to the terrorism and extremism that threaten “the very life” of Nigeria. In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, CAN President Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor said sometimes facts were misrepresented by the American government on the true situation of things. He said some pronouncements from the State Department have distortions, omissions and in some cases clearly misrepresent facts on the ground in a manner that beclouds the crisis facing Nigeria. That, he said, is “ultimately deleterious” to the quest for a peaceful and truthful resolution of the crises. For instance, Oritsejafor said information contained in CAN’s memorandum to the presidential panel on Post-Election Violence was not included in the 2011 State Department International Religious Freedom Report. “Our memo presented widespread incidents of violence targeting Christians in 12 northern states in April last year From Vincent Ikuomola, Abuja

These coordinated attacks on three states, comprising Niger, Plateau and Yobe, claimed over 60 lives and, for a second consecutive year, stunned the world. “The report merely mentions the Christmas Day church bombing of St. Theresa’s Catholic church in Madalla, then fails to communicate the scope and significance of the Christmas Day attacks,” he said. The cleric added: “It is deeply troubling that your report makes an unsubstantiated claim that more Muslims than Christians died in the attacks of last year. “This theory was predicated on erroneous assumptions that since the attacks were in ‘predominantly’ Muslim areas, it

Furore over UK footing bills to revamp jails in B Nigeria, others RITISH taxpayers are paying to make jails in Jamaica and Nigeria more comfortable in a desperate bid to persuade foreign criminals to serve their sentences at home. Ministers have resorted to the tactic – designed to satisfy the human rights of inmates – after it emerged that the UK’s own prison system has turned into a ‘United Nations of crime’. Research by the House of Commons library, seen by the Mail, reveals how our jails contain inmates from a staggering 156 countries – more than three out of every four member states of the UN. Worryingly, the total number of foreign prisoners is rising – despite pledges by David Cameron to fix the mess. By March this year, there were 11,127 behind bars, at an estimated cost to the UK public purse of more than £420million. This is up from

10,778 in 2011. The group, which includes rapists, murderers and burglars, now makes up more than one in every eight convicts. The figures were disclosed as the Prime Minister faced more criticism yesterday over his foreign aid commitments. Mr. Cameron was taking part in a radio phone-in when a pensioner called to tell him it was wrong that she was denied a cancer drug while billions were spent on overseas aid. Meanwhile, it emerged that the dire need to create space in our packed jails has prompted ministers to take the extraordinary step of establishing a £3million annual pot to make it easier for convicts to serve their sentences back home.

He also expressed disgust over a purported threat to the President by the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram. He contended that the development was occasioned by President Jonathan’s failure to act as his office required. He gave the President one month to eliminate the Boko Haram menace or vacate office as demanded by the sect.

OVERNORS plan to monitor the Federal Government’s programme to improve power supply by the first quarter of next year. Speaking at the launch of the World Bank Investment Climate Assessment in Abuja yesterday, the governor of Anambra State and deputy chairman of the Governors’ Forum, Mr. Peter Obi, said “ governors will measure the Federal Government’s commitment to stable power supply by Q1.” He said: “The Federal Government has to do everything possible to stabilise power supply by the first quarter of 2013.” Obi faulted the Federal Government’s claim that the economy was growing. He said: “Nigeria has jobless growth because growth is taking place in arrears where it is not expected.” He said Small and Medium Enterprises were “not doing very well in Nigeria because

We need to reduce interest rates to encourage job creation.” He said he would present the investment climate report to his colleagues and encourage them to use it as a tool to improve the investment climate in their states. Obi called for a change of behaviour by all tiers of government. He said investors would come to Nigeria, if they see the potential for profit despite the many chal-

experienced power outages in the previous year, and they were experienced by all types of firms, irrespective of firm size, industry, and nationality of ownership. The average firm reported power outages equivalent to eight hours per calendar day.” The report added that “large firms reported more outages than small firms and foreign firms reported more outages than domestic firms. Given the frequency and duration of power outages, Nigerian firms really must own generators in order to conduct business, and 88 per cent of surveyed firms do so. Manufacturing firms reported that approximately 69 per cent of their total electrical utilisation comes not from the public grid, but from their own generators, with large manufacturers more dependent than small ones on generator power.” The report further stated that “firms in Nigeria are concerned about their access

It added: “Only 20 per cent of microenterprise firms reported having advance knowledge of the amount of the payment required to ‘get things done’. “Microenterprises dealing in government contracts are expected to pay approximately 4.3 per cent of the contract value in order to secure it.

set up by the Oyo State House of Assembly to review the cases of the 3,000 workers recently sacked by the state government, Segun Ajanaku, has said the Assembly has not passed any resolution to reabsorb the workers. In a statement yesterday in Ibadan, Ajanaku said his committee had not submitted its report to the Assembly. He said: “The insinuation that Governor Abiola Ajimobi has refused to comply with a so-called House resolution, calling for the reinstatement of the sacked workers, is farther from the truth.

“It is a blatant lie because my committee has not even submitted its report to the House. So, how could a resolution be passed on a report that is yet to be submitted?’’ Although the lawmaker admitted that his committee was given two weeks to submit its report, he added that the report could not be submitted because the House was on recess. “I can tell you that my committee worked conscientiously to ensure that we beat the deadline. The report is ready, but we could not present it because the House is on recess,’’ he said.

‘Bowen okay for Medicine’

OWEN University has been given the nod to run its College of Medicine programme. It becomes the first private university to have a fullfledged teaching hospital to run its College of Medicine programme. The university’s teaching hospital (BUTH) in Ogbomosho, Oyo State, has modern facilities to enable it accomplish its goals. The accreditation, which was given by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN), positions the university as an institution of choice in Nigeria. A statement by the MDCN said the university fulfilled the requirements to estab-

ATHEMATICS could be used to solve Nigeria’s religious and ethnic-related problems, a professor of Mathematics, Johnson Olajire Olaleru, has said. Delivering the inaugural lecture at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Olaleru explained that the same method, if employed in the appointment of professors, can help UNILAG to maintain its top position in the Webometric world ranking of universities. He spoke on the topic: Abstract Mathematics: Exploring the Universe through Imaginative Science. According to him, religious and ethnic conflicts can be resolved by applying mathematical axioms - generally accepted truths - and deductive reasoning to find the common ground for agreements and decide the way forward. He said: “In this method, the starting point in any mathematical theory is to have a set of axioms that is generally accepted and known to be true without any need for proof. Mathematical theorems are then proved through deductive reasoning that is based on those axioms. The result is that there will be the same conclusion for all those who use the axioms and follow the deductive reasoning. “Going forward, this axio-

matic method, when extended, can be used to solve family, national etc disagreements. For example, looking at our national problems in Nigeria, in which ethnic groups and individuals have un-reconciled opinions on how the nation can move forward, the best solution - and perhaps the only solution - is to use the axiomatic method. Nigeria’s representatives must come together first and list out the axioms or generally agreed or accepted truths for our collective existence. These include our diversity in culture and religion, our rec-

oncilable differences, our irreconcilable differences, among other pertinent issues. “It is on this basis we can use deductive logic to arrive at the way forward, which will be acceptable to all. Unfortunately, the Federal Government has been avoiding this mathematically-tested method of reconciliation wherever divergent rational views abound.” Regarding the method’s usefulness in helping UNILAG improve its ranking in the world, Olaleru suggested that the university management should appoint only academics whose research works are published in journals recog-

nised by Web of Science Data base coordinated by Thomas Reuters, given the relevance of such journals in the ranking of universities. Congratulating the lecturer for paying his academic debt to the university through the lecture, Acting Vice-Chancellor, Prof Rahamon Ade Bello, said his suggestions were worth considering. “The lecturer has demonstrated that Mathematics can be used to treat everyday problems. Prof Olaleru, since you have successfully paid your academic debt to the university, you are hereby discharged and acquitted,” he said.

STATE High Court sitting in Akure, the Ondo State capital, yesterday sacked the state and local government executives of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for disobeying a court order. The court’s injunction followed a suit filed by some aggrieved members of the party, Adetokunbo Michael and Akinyemi Rufus as well as Mrs. Alake Abigael and Fanike Olwasina. They approached the court for a relief, claiminnng that they were not satisfied with the conduct of the local and state congresses of the party.

•We’ll appeal the verdict, says Exco From Leke Akeredolu, Akure

Justice C.E.T, Ajama ordered party members elected through the congresses to stop parading themselves as executives untill the determination of the substantive suit on November 5. But the sacked PDP state chairman, Ebenezer Alabi, described the judgment as a denial of justice. He said it was sponsored by some opposition leaders to cause a setback to the party. Alabi told reporters in

Akure that he would appeal the ruling. According to him, the court processes were not served on the defendants as required by law. He said: “On March 9, a day preceding the state congress of the party, the Chief Judge of Ondo State, Hon. Justice Sehinde Kumuyi, gave an order restraining members of the then Transition Committee administering the party from superintending over the congress. “As at the time he gave the order at 4pm on the day, mem-

bers of the Transition Committee, who desired to contest in the congress, had resigned from the office and as such the order was technically a nullity. “We then petitioned the Chief Justice of the Federation, who also doubles as the Chairman of the National Judicial Commission (NJC), detailing all the perceived irregularities and misconduct that were believed Hon. Justice Sehinde Kumuyi had been perpetrating in the state Judiciary.” He said the NJC queried Kumuyi and the case transferred to Justice Ajama.

Osun Poly lecturers protest ‘illegal deductions’ from salaries

O

SUN State Polytechnic, Iree, lecturers are protesting the alleged illegal deduction of their salaries for the repayment of bank loans. It was gathered that the lecturers, about four years ago, took a loan. It was approved by the bank after the institution had written a letter of domiciliation to its management as a condition for the release of the loan to the lecturers. While some lecturers repaid with interest, others were unable to do so because of the accumulated interest the loan had attracted during the teachers’ long strike for a better welfare package. The accumulated interest caused the problem, as some teachers refused to pay this on the grounds that they were not paid salaries during the strike. It was gathered that the bank threatened to sue the management over the accumulated interest on the loan. They reportedly forced the management to source for

funds to settle the bank. The institution’s management deducted the money from the salaries of the lecturers. This drew their anger and led to the protest.

The lecturers alleged that the management was illegally deducting their salaries. They barricaded the main entrance to the institution, demanding a stop to the deduction. The school’s Media Rela-

tions Officer, Mr. Tope Abiola, said there was no illegal deduction of the teachers’ salaries. Abiola said the management intervened in the matter to avoid losing its credibility and corporate image.

Ekiti NULGE urges members to shun Monday test

HE Ekiti State chapter of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) has ordered its members in the 16 local government areas not to sit for a promotion examination organised by the state government on Monday. The union reminded the government that at the end of its 14-day ultimatum on the payment of CONHESS and CONMESS to health workers at the councils, it would take another line of action. A statement in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, by its Secretary, Mr Victor Ade Adebayo, said the union was opposing the test because “it

does not have confidence in the state government conducting a honest and transparent test for its members”. It criticised the government for attributing the delay in the payment of the N19,300 minimum wage to its inability to complete ongoing biometric registration in the councils. The statement said: “The union takes exception to the claims of Governor Kayode Fayemi that the non-payment of the new minimum wage of N19,300 and CONHESS-CONMESS for council members was due to the noncompletion of bio-metric ex-

ercise.” NULGE said it would resist attempts by the government to exclude environmental health workers from the payment of the CONHESS-CONMESS. It added: “Medical workers working with the Ministry of Environment and the Waste Management Board and Ministry of Health are enjoying the special allowance. “Based on this, the union has directed its members in all the 16 local governments to shun the promotion examination slated for Monday. “This is more so when we are aware of the terrible fate that befell some council workers who participated in a similar exercise recently.”

Rescind decision on Newswatch, directors tell Jimoh Ibrahim

D

IRECTORS of Newswatch, the Lagos weekly news magazine, have urged the Chairman of its Board of Directors, Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim, to lift the suspension on its publication. Veteran journalist Mr. Ray Ekpu, Mr. Yakubu Mohammed, Mr. Dan Agbese and Mr. Soji Akinrinade told reporters yesterday that they were shocked by Ibrahim’s announcement of an indefinite suspension of publication to reposition the weekly. They spoke at the Lagos NUJ office in Oregun Ekpu said: “The decision came to us, as to millions of Nigerians, as a big shock. Newswatch has devotedly kept faith with its readers since its

debut as the pioneer weekly news magazine on February 28, 1985.” He said the magazine has steadily been on the news stands, except for the six months when it was proscribed by the Gen. Ibrahim Babangida administration. Ibrahim’s company, Global Media Mirror Limited, owns 51 per cent of Newswatch’s shares. Mohammed said Newswatch sought public fund because it wanted to go into daily publication, radio and equipping the magazine with modern technology. He said the fortunes of the company have not improved

since it went public; rather, it has been facing challenges ranging from non-payment of salary and allowances, and the inability to hold board meetings. Mohammed said: “We are astonished that after 15 months, Ibrahim is talking about ‘corporate surgery’. What exactly has been happening at Newswatch all this time? What happened to the turn-around, which was to have been completed within one year by the new management? What has led to the deterioration of the company since May 5, 2011? The National Union of Journalists (NUJ), Newswatch chapel, says no value has been added to the company and that workers are being owed

salary for months.” The directors said they were consulting with other stakeholders on how to ensure that Newswatch remains a viable news magazine. They said: “Ibrahim’s decision is not in line with the agreement we had with him concerning the future of our beloved Newswatch. It is illegal and counterproductive. We ask Ibrahim to rescind it in the interest of the company, its staff, the advertising community and the reading public.” The board suspended the publication because the workers refused to move to a new office on Lagos Island, saying their salary arrears should be paid before such a move.

Dana crash: Mixed feelings trail release of victims’ bodies I T was with mixed feelings that relatives of the victims of the Dana Air plane crash of June 3 gathered yesterday to receive the remains of their loved ones. Some were eager to claim the bodies; others entertained fears that the process involved might not allow them to claim the bodies on time. To them, the notice was short and the process stressful. The elder brother of Lt. Col. Ochigbo Chumbo, a victim of the crash, Mr. Frank Chumbo, said: “They told us at 3pm yesterday (Wednesday) about the requirements. Some people started the process today (yesterday). I do not think they are going to release any body today. Although it is possible, if you get your referees on time, but look at the time now; how fast do you think the process can be?” Some relatives and reporters gathered as early as 8 am to start the process and record the proceedings at the Lekan Ogunsola Morgue, a private facility on the premises of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, Lagos. Chumbo said the process would be done in alphabetical order. He said: “My brother’s name is Chumbo and it falls on Saturday. My fear is that the requirements for the documentation are too many.

Witness blames crash on crew

HE Lagos Coroner Court, presided over by Magistrate Alexander Komolafe, was told yesterday that negligence by the crew caused the June 3 Dana air crash. A witness, Mr. Alexander Omaghomi, said the craft crashed because the flight crew did not adhere to emergency guidelines. Omaghomi, who was a pilot of the defunct Nigerian Airways, with more than 32 years’ experience, told the court that his opinion on the preliminary report of the Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) is that the pilot and his crew neglected the checklists necessary to prevent fatalities. While being led in evidence by Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), Omaghomi, popularly called Captain Tito, explained that checklists are items and actions that one needs to take in the operations of a plane.

Omaghomi, who said he retired from flying commercial planes in 1993, said: “It was a disorganised cockpit and it became a flight that nobody had control over.” According to Omaghomi, the pilot did not call for help when he should have done so, which he said was when he lost the plane’s two engines. He said: “There are rules on when a pilot in distress should call for help, but the pilot of the crashed Dana aircraft did not follow them. “The rules are that no pilot should fly for more than 100 hours in a month. I observed that the pilot of the ill-fated plane had put in 120 hours of flight within 14 days.” An Aviation Operations Manager with Total Nigeria Plc, Daniel Akpokoje, said the last time Dana Air bought fuel from his company was last November. referees and it is not easy to get a referee. “Many families are not prepared for the release. Until yesterday, we did not know that the bodies would be released today. We have not

bought the coffin, arranged logistics, decided where the body would be taken to or prepared the burial site? Are we going to take it to another mortuary? There are so many difficult things involved in this matter.” On the consequences of not collecting the bodies on the assigned dates, Chumbo said: “If one fails to collect the body on the specified date, they said they would charge a certain fee, but that is not relevant. What matters is getting the bodies. “In my case, my late brother would be taken care of by the Army. A representative of the Army is here with me to facilitate the process. He is Col. David of the Army Medical Corp and he has helped me to do some things.” Some people said their relatives’ names were not on the lists pasted on the walls of the morgue. One of them was a military officer’s wife, who pleaded for anonymity. She said she was told more names would be released later. Only about three persons received the remains of their loved ones yesterday. One of the bodies was that of Joy Alinson. Her remains were collected about 2:15 pm and taken away in an olive green Volvo 740 Station wagon ambulance. The late Alinson’s sister, Joan, said they were taking the body to Ishan in Edo State.

RELATE of the Methodist Church of Nigeria Dr. Sunday Olatunde Makinde and the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, yesterday renewed the call for the convocation of a National Conference. They said a meeting of all Nigerians, where every ethnic group will discuss the nation’s continued existence, is necessary to effectively tackle the country’s challenges. The clerics said the alternative to this is the adoption of true federalism and a “top-to-bottom attitudinal change”, where the led would be inspired by the actions of their leaders. They spoke at the opening of the 43rd /Eighth Biennial Conference of the church, which was held at the Hoares Memorial Methodist Cathedral in Yaba, Lagos Mainland. The opening ceremony was performed by Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola. Dr. Makinde said: “Nigeria’s unity is fragile. Things are falling apart. The Boko Haram menace has claimed about 1,500 lives and destroyed churches, police stations and many buildings. We have militant insurrections, election riggings, communal conflicts, political misunderstanding

and corruption in high and low places. “The only way out of these myriad of problems is the convocation of a National Conference, where all ethnic groups, religious and traditional rulers, intellectuals, business people, students and civil servants, women and men, farmers and artisans, the foolish and the wise will sit together and discuss how to live together peacefully.” He said for true federalism to be operational, the centre, has to be decentralised and more powers should be devolved to the state and local governments. Supporting the call for state police, the prelate said the exigency of the times, inadequate funding, corruption and fraud in the police structure makes state police attractive. Dr. Makinde urged the Lagos State Government to return schools to missionaries. Oritsejafor described members of the Boko Haram sect as “cowards” whose time is almost up. He said Nigeria has never been closer to disintegration and prayed to God to grant the Federal Government the political will to bring Boko Haram sponsors to book.

health care delivery system. According to him, the State Specialist Hospital and health centres have been neglected while the ruling party has created a dichotomy in the staff welfare of health workers. The former Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) President said he would also provide an integrated health care system for urban and rural dwellers. The people promised to vote for ACN in the October 20 election because of what they described as the sincerity of purpose of the party’s flag bearer. In a statement by the candidate’s Director of Media, Publicity and Strategy, Mr Idowu Ajanaku, the people said they were convinced that Akeredolu would not deceive them.

He said: “We’re ready to mobilise our supporters across party lines in our constituencies and we will also galvanise and enlist the support of the electorate in the 18 local governments to ensure that our candidate, Akeredolu and our party record landslide victory in the election.”

GROUP, the Ondo State Youth Movement, yesterday urged the police authority to redeploy the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) in charge of Operations, Mr. Bayo Fadairo, for alleged partisanship. It accused the police chief of alleged aligning with the ruling Labour Party (LP) and Governor Olusegun Mimiko. A statement by its chairman, Mr. Tunji Orioke, said Fadairo had been transferred out of the state on several occasions but allegedly returned through the influence of the governor. It said Fadairo is Mimiko’s childhood friend and former school mate. The group said during last year’s by-election in Ilaje Local Government, the police chief allegedly threatened to shoot the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Chief Olusola Oke, who was then the National Legal Adviser of the PDP. It noted that this is a proof that Fadairo is an agent of the state government. The group also accused Fadairo of allegedly masterminding the indiscriminate arrest of opposition members. The statement reads: “The retention of Fadairo in the state during the forthcoming election may spell doom for the poll because of his romance with the ruling party. “We are aware that he had

“I shouted and some of them that ran away started coming back. The ones I could carry, I carried them and put them in the car and came to drop them in the hospital.

I said, ‘stop, stop, I am the one that is bereaved.’ They said okay let’s go. They said, ‘where is the place?’ I said ‘up there.’ “When we got there, we carried the injured to the Federal College of Education hospital and left the dead behind. The soldiers and police then took over the place before we were able to evacuate the bodies to the mortuary.”

Nyamuda added: “A pastor who lost his wife saw the gunmen. “The pastor said he just felt like not sitting down where he normally sat. So, he decided to move. The pastor said when they came in and put off the light, he made to run outside, and one of the gunmen collided with him. “He said he did not know how he escaped. He said he saw them and that when they came in, the next thing they did was to remove their guns and shouted ‘all of you kneel down.’ And he said ‘Ah, this people have come!’ then they pulled the wire and there was light out.

They said the gunmen said, ‘We are here to finish all of you!’ “They (gunmen) were using torch light to check those who were not dead and then shooting to make sure they were dead.” According to him, “Fifteen people died on the spot, two later died in the hospital, making 17 so far. As at yesterday, when I went to the Federal Medical Centre, Lokoja, others were still being taken to the theatre to be operated upon. We don’t know the fate of about two of them now.” His 14-year-old daughter and Junior Secondary School (JSS3) pupil narrated the incident this way: “I saw them entering the church. I only saw one. Immediately I saw the gun I was scared. I thought they were policemen.

“I ran out of the church. They were putting on black and one was putting on papa’s cap. When I saw the gun, I ran out of the church immediately because I was sitting at the back, close to the door. I ran out of the church before they switched off the light and started shooting. “I was saying ‘if they were policemen, why should they be shooting inside the church?’ So, I didn’t even bother to go back, not until my sister called me to come and carry my brother while she went back and looked for the others. That was when I took my brother and we met our daddy on the way.” Ebenezer Sumaila, 11, who lost his elder brother, said: “I did not see any of them, but when they started shooting, all of us lay on the floor. They

been transferred on two occasions but later brought back with the influence of Mimiko to work for him during the coming election.” The group hailed the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) for returning sanity to the police. He, however, urged him to redeploy Fadairo in the interest of peace. The statement added: “We all know what happened in 1983 and we will not want that kind of situation to repeat itself, more so when the DCP is not an indigene of the state.” The Vice-Chairman of the Okitipupa branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Mr. Segun Lema, described the alleged involvement of the DCP in political affairs of the state as unprofessional. He said Fadairo ought to base his professionalism on confidence and trust, adding that the reverse is the case. The lawyer said a patriotic officer with good professional conduct should replace the DCP to guarantee a successful election. He said: “The voice of the people is the voice of God. Since many indigenes and electorate have lost confidence in the activities of the DCP, it is imperative on the part of the police authority to hearken to the voice of the people by redeploying him to another state.”

Ekiti to get mechanic village

E

KITI State Governor Kayode Fayemi has approved the Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) for the proposed site of an ultramodern mechanic village in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital. Addressing a meeting of leaders of the National Automotive Council (NAC), led by its Director-General, Mr Aminu Jalal, the governor said the village would make the state a choice destination for investors and enhance the socio-economic development. He noted that many Ekiti residents travel to Lagos to fix their damaged vehicles. Fayemi said the proposed mechanic village would enhance artisanship, capacity building and sustainable de-

When I saw my uncle standing up and going home, I too stood up and followed him.” Nyamuda blamed the incident on “hatred” and described the killing as “too barbaric”. Nyamida said: “I begin to ask if these people were to wake up from the dead, can they face you with gun. They are not holding anything. So what brought that hatred? This is hatred to the core. “These are people you never had a quarrel with. I still want to know if it is because of Christianity that you hate these people or there is any other matter. The killing is too barbaric. On how to deter such gunmen in future, he said: “I feel government should be able to

The governor said though the idea of establishing the village was brought by the National Association of Technicians and Artisans (NATA), it coincided with the plan of the Ministry of Commerce and Industries to establish same. He said this increased the government’s interest in a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement for the project. Fayemi said the government was eager to ensure that the village becomes a reality, adding that apart from the C of O, the survey of the parcel of land has also been completed.

We embrace and rejoice over it that our brethren are being martyred for Christ. Thank God it was in the Bible Study, we thank God. “Though it pains us a little the way they met us.

40-YEAR-OLD woman, Jemilat Oseni, was yesterday sentenced to three months imprisonment for using five children to beg in Lagos The Special Offences Court, sitting in Alausa, Ikeja, held that she violated the rights of the children, who are not hers, by her action.

State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, at Seme border with the children. The children's ages range between nine months and 11 years. Two of them are children of Mrs Rainat Ado and Mrs Zainab Abubakar, who released them to the accused.

Two others are said to be her grand children. The 11 year-old is among them her own child. Mrs. Oseni, the Taskforce alleged, had claimed she wanted to use the children as cover up to smuggle some goods from Benin Republic. The ploy was to evade Customs check by using the children as a shield to pass through the border.

They TaskForce operatives said the convict usually gave them rice whenever she returned from her trip. A worker in the Lagos State Ministry of Women Affairs and Poverty Alleviation (WAPA), who had seen the woman begging with the children at Seme border reported her to the taskforce. The children are in WAPA’s custody. The women, who gave out their children for begging business, were fined N10, 000 each.

Morgue workers mug photojournalist

OME workers at a private morgue at the Lagos State

University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, went wild yesterday, beating and wounding a photojournalist, Benedict Uwalaka, of Leadership. Uwalaka was drenched in blood when a worker simply called Idowu smashed a bottle on his head. Idowu also wanted to hit Uwalaka a concrete slab but was prevented from doing so. It all started when Uwalaka and his colleagues gathered in front of Lekan Ogunsola Memorial House, a private morgue run by TOS funeral services in LASUTH, for the release of the bodies of victims of the June 3 Dana plane crash. Witnesses said Uwalaka and his colleagues were standing in front of the morgue to take photographs when they were asked to leave. Uwalaka’s colleague, Kola Olasupo said: "When we saw relatives of the victims bringing hearses we felt it would be news worthy to record how the release was done. Just as we approached the morgue, in fact, we had not gone in, not to talk of taking pictures, when a man accosted me and said he would seize my camera and I asked him why? Later he said I should not take the photographs of the bodies being

brought out. I obliged and turned back. "On my way I met Uwalaka and told him my experience and the man did not move any further, he turned back but as he was leaving one fellow, whose name I later found to be Bayo, a staff of the morgue, pounced on Uwalaka, slapped him severally on the face, while another fellow hit him on the back. Bayo went further, he took an object that looked like a baseball bat and hit Uwalaka on the head.” At this point, Olasupo said Uwalaka's colleagues intervened, asking his attackers to leave him. He said: "Just as we were trying to settle the problem, one fellow whose name I found out as Idowu, came to Uwalaka and accused him of wounding him on his left leg. He actually told him that he would avenge the injury. He scampered around, grabbed a bottle and smashed it on Uwalaka's head.” Uwalaka, who was already soaked in blood, according to Olasupo, collapsed and was rescued from further assault. "But for the intervention of some of us, Uwalaka would have been dead by now. After smashing the bottle on his head, Idowu went further to lift a nearby concrete slab to hit him on the head, but

we snatched it from him," he said. Uwalaka was rushed to the emergency unit of the hospital where he was given first aid treatment after a complaint was lodged at the Area F Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos. The police on a rival were prevented by the morgue from arresting the suspects, authorities claiming that no arrest could be made until evening.

He was later accompanied by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Aderemi Ibirogba, Lagos State Chairman of Nigeria Union of Journalists, Mr Deji Elumoye and his team, appealed to journalists over the issue, describing it as a “family matter”.

LAGOS High Court, Igbosere, yesterday extended the ban on Fuji musician Alhaji Saheed Osupa from organising a carnival in Ijeshatedo, a Lagos surbub to five others. Others restrained are Chief Adio Mustapher, Lagos Commissioner, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Akeem Adisa Bangbola, and Prince Ade Oshin. Justice Ibironke Harrison said the order was to prevent a breakdown of law and order in the community. At the hearing yesterday, counsel to the first, third, fifth and sixth

By Joseph Jibueze

defendants, Chief Dele Awoniyi, said he had filed a preliminary objection challeging the court's jurisdiction to entertain the matter. He prayed that the interim order be vacated, because besides not being served with it, it was wrong. “We are suffering an injury because we have spent money preparing for the carnival," he said. The applicants' counsel, Chief Bolaji Ayorinde (SAN), moved a motion seeking the court's leave to serve the remaining defendants

with the order by substituted means. He also prayed that the restraining order be extended for seven more days. Ruling, Justice Harrisson held that there was nothing in Ayorinde's application to show that his aim was to scuttle the carnival. She said in the interest ofjustice and in order to avoid possible communal clash at the carnival, she would extend the order for another seven days. Justice Harrison adjourned the case till August 17 before the next vacation judge. The restraining orders followed an application by

the Onitire Chieftaincy family of Lagos, represented by Oba Lateef Dauda, Chief Tajudeen Odubiyi, Chief Buari Oloto and Chief Yahaya Idris. The applicants had through Ayorinde prayed the court to restrain the respondents from organising any form of carnival or show named "First Ever Ijeshatedo Day (One Love Carnival)" pending the determination of its Motion on Notice. The alleged event is billed to hold on August 26, at Imam Shuaib Street by Ogunlana BusStop, Ijeshadedo, Lagos.

Displaced widow sleeps inside train after losing two children

F

OR Mrs Edna Anayo, a widow, this is not the best of times. Natural disaster and misfortune seemed to have conspired to deal her a big blow. She lost her residence to June 28 flooding that ravaged Ijoko, a settlement on fringes of Lagos State, but located in Ogun State. She and her seven children now sleep inside the train at Ijoko. Having lost her husband, a Commander with the Navy, in 2008, Mrs Anayo thought she could cope with her nine children, left in her care with the sudden departure of her husband. But she was wrong; a week after her husband's death two of her children joined their father in death. She was subsequently ejected from Ojo Cantonment as a result of the death of her husband. Narrating her ordeal to The Na-

tion, Mrs Anayo said: "I lost all my properties to the heavy flood that mid-night and since then my seven children and I have been sleeping inside train coaches." Following her eviction from the Cantonment, Mrs Anayo said that she lived under the bridge for more than a year. "I lived under the bridge at old Ojo road, Ojo Cantonment for more than a year, when I returned to Lagos in 2010 after the death of my husband in 2008. And because no one wanted to help me at home in Calabar, my children and I sold pure water sachets under the bridge to make ends meet, before I met somebody who introduced me to a networking business. “It was the little money I got from this that I used to rent the apartment that was destroyed by the flood. I lost everything to the

flood," she said with emotion. She added: "Since that incident, we have been sleeping inside the train. We moved round the trains looking for where we could sleep and we would not sleep until midnights, most nights. “By 5am, I would wake my children as the trains are likely to move anytime from 6.15am. We have been managing like this for the past two months and surviving on the goodwill of people. The clothes I have on me are the only property I have left." Residents around Ijoko train station, who have observed the plights of the woman and her family, contacted The Healing Heart Foundation (THHF), a non-government organisation (NGO), which promotes widow's causes, for assistance. Speaking with The Nation, the

Foundation's founder, Mrs. Sophy Nbanisi, called on well-meaning Nigerians to extend their hands of compassion to the family. She said N300, 000 is needed to resettle them. "As much as we are passionate about Anayo's ordeal, we need the assistance of all well-meaning Nigerians to raise N300, 000. We are already making moves for a selfcontained room, which would cost N90, 000. “Two of her children are terribly sick and hungry, which we have been attending to, but she needs to be set up on a business that can sustain the needs of the family. That's why we are soliciting for the support of well meaning philanthropists," Mrs. Nbanisi said. All assistance, she said, could be channelled through Zenith Bank: (Healing Heart Ministry, a/ c no 1012506724).

Nigeria auctions $1.1b treasury bills

N

IGERIA sold N172.1 billion ($1.1 billion) in treasury bills, more than expected, and increased the yield it offered on the short-dated paper to mop up liquidity to support the currency, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) said yesterday. The apex bank said last week it would auction N142.1 billion of treasury bills with maturities of between three months and one year. It gave no reason for the additional N30 billion of issuance. The naira surged 1.1 per cent to a more than two-week high on the interbank market following the sale and after stateowned energy company, the Nigerian national Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) sold $450 million to banks in exchange for the local currency.

Fed Govt approves N34b for P retirees’ payment

RESIDENT, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has approved the release of N34 billion to off-set the outstanding accrued rights of retirees and death benefits of deceased employees of the Federal Government under the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS). The National Pension Commission (PenCom) said the government has paid over N270 billion as at the end of first quarter this year to its 48,587 retirees and deceased employees under the CPS. A statement by Head, Communication Unit, PenCom Emeka Onuora, said the approval followed the recommendation made by the Cocoordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi OkonjoIweala, on the submission made by PenCom to the government on the status of the account and the huge deficit therein. He said the Federal Govern-

ment has consistently and religiously, been setting aside five of its total monthly wage bill into the Retirement Bond Redemption Account (RBRA) with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the settlement of the accrued pension rights of its employees since the commencement of the CPS as required by the Pension Reform Act, 2004. He said: “PenCom would like to inform the general public, in particular, retired employees enrolled with the Commission, including the Next of Kins (NOKs) of deceased employees that have documented with the Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) and documents submitted to the Commission, but have not been paid their entitlements that Jonathan has approved

the release of N34 billon to off-set the outstanding accrued rights of retirees and death benefits of deceased employees of Federal Government under the contributory pension scheme. “However, the account has been overstretched in recent years with the upsurge of retirements from the Federal Civil Service occasioned by the tenure policy, voluntary retirements and thousands of unredeemed death benefit claims resulting into heavy back log of arrears that cannot be accommodated due to paucity of funds in the account, giving rise to untold hardship to these people. This special positive intervention by the President, therefore, would go a long way in settling those outstanding payments to those categories of beneficiaries and alleviating

their sufferings.” Onuora, noted that the Commission lauded the President’s magnanimity and deep sympathy to the plight of the retirees and NOKs of deceased employees of the Federal Government as glaringly manifested by promptly and graciously granting approval for this amount to be released to settle those arrears. “Our appreciation also goes to the Coordinator for the Economy and Hon. Minister of Finance for her continued support to pension reform and commitment in addressing the plight of the retirees. “Our special thanks go to the thousands of retirees and NOKs of deceased employees for their patience and understanding with the Commission during this trying period,” he said.

Ratings agency upgrades banks to Bbb

N

IGERIA's Augusto & Co. Limited, an indigenous credit rating and business information agency, yesterday upgraded the country's banking sector by one notch to Bbb from Bb, with a stable outlook, citing improved earnings and capital ratios. In a ratings report, the agency said credit growth was gradually returning and risk aversion waning as banks recovered from the shock of a $4 billion bailout in 2009. It said the upgrade was based on the banks' financial condition and their capacity to meet their obligations, as-

By Collins Nweze

suming the political environment did not get any riskier. The banks have staged a sharp recovery in earnings during the first half of 2012, with mid-tier lender Diamond Bank posting a fourfold profit rise, while First Bank and United Bank for Africa (UBA) doubled profits during the period, it said. Agusto added that Nigeria's 19 lenders have swung back to profit, thanks to a stateowned “bad bank” the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) absorbing their non-performing loans in exchange for

government backed bonds. “With sale of troubled loans worth over N1.5 trillion ($9.5 billion) to AMCON during the year, banks were able to free up their balance sheets and focus more on creating risk assets." It said non-performing loans declined to 328 billion naira ($2.1 bln), representing 4.8 percent of loans in 2011, compared with an impaired loan ratio of 16 percent in 2010. Global ratings agency Fitch two weeks ago said Nigerian banks continued to face challenges despite AMCON's support and that credit had

grown rapidly by 30-66 per cent in 2011. It said lenders had thin levels of "core capital". Agusto said Nigeria's top five lenders - First Bank , Zenith Bank, UBA, Guaranty Trust Bank and Access Bank accounted for much of the growth in total assets last year. It said total banking assets grew by 20 per cent to N21.6 trillion ($135 billion) in 2011. It downgraded the sector to Bb in 2008 for high levels of non-performing loans caused by reckless lending, which culminated in the 2009 financial crisis and the Central Bank’s bailout of nine banks.

ASSBIFI flays disengaged staff protest • Ex-workers give 7-day ultimatum By Dupe Olaoye-Osinkolu

T

HE Association of Se nior Staff of Banks, In surance and Financial Institutions (ASSIBIFI) yesterday advised the aggrieved disengaged workers of Mainstreet Bank Limited to follow due process in the pursuit of their demands. The workers led by Mr Nwajei Christopher, addressed reporters at the Secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, Lagos State Council. They accused the union of compromising and blacklisted it. They also gave the bank a 7-day ultimatum to pay their severance allowance. The National President of the union, Comrade Sunday Olusoji Salako said the issue was not peculiar to Mainstreet Bank and that the union was doing its best to solve the problem, but will not deviate from following due process. Noting that some other banks had also downsized, he wondered why the workers believe that the union has compromised on the issue of Mainstreet. “Is it the only bank that can make the union compromise? What is the peculiarity of this on,´he asked. Salako added that the bank is owned by the Federal Government, and that the Government through the Federal Ministry of Labour has set up a tripartite committee to resolve the problem. He said the exworkers should let the committee complete its job. He said ASSBIFI will not condone lawlessness, stressing that the disengaged workers should allow the union to perform its duties as the law stipulates. He also said they should build on public confidence, as mass protest without exploring other necessary avenues would amount to eroding public confidence since the banking system is built on public confidence.

U

SA BASKETBALL, and more specifically Kobe Bryant, had a lot of fun celebrating their record-setting, 83-point throttling of Nigeria last week, according to the London Times. The story is behind a paywall, unfortunately, but Sporting News pulled out some nuggets (via Yardbarker). As the London Times story goes, Kobe and a few of his teammates decided to celebrate their big win by going to a casino near Olympic Stadium. “Kobe Bryant, the $50 million U.S. basketball player, challenged a group of

... volunteers, known as the Games Makers, to a drinking contest when he and his teammates visited a casino next to the Olympic Park.”

HE Belgian Olympic Committee says it has told cyclist Gijs van Hoecke to leave the Olympics after photos appeared of him looking drunk and unable to walk while leaving a London nightclub. The committee said in a statement Thursday it made its decision after consulting with the team leader of the Belgian cycling squad. Several British and Belgian newspapers published photos showing the 20-year-old Van Hoecke, his eyes closed and his trousers and shirt wet, being helped into a vehicle by teammates.

EVEN DEVELOPMENT IN THE STATE OF EXCELLENCE

T

he present administration in Lagos state has since its assumption of office, pledged fairness in its developmental drive for both urban and rural areas. It was emphatic that its legitimacy emanated from the mandate obtained from votes of the rural dwellers, as well as urban residents. As an unbiased umpire, it promised to be as fair as possible, in keeping faith with this pledge. As far as the administration was concerned, none was better than the other. The urban areas showcase the beauty of the state, with beautiful industries houses, industries and trading outlets while the hinterland is the food basket that feeds the people . Equally, opportunities abound in both areas which are critical in growing the economy by creating job opportunities and wealth for all. Frequent tour of projects located in these areas, as well as communication with the citizenry in both areas, attest to this conscious efforts at even development of the urban metropolis and rural hinterland. Using the senatorial districts as a scientific baseline, Lagosians can effectively measure government’s developmental achievements in this search for urban / rural balance. LAGOS EAST SENATORIAL DISTRICT Realizing that a healthy citizenry, would produce wealth for the state, government vigorously pursued adequate healthcare for citizens in the district. Under the School Health Programme, medical and dental screenings were conducted in Kosofe, Epe and Ikorodu while a Free Medical Mission was held at Kosofe Local Government Area, with 55,179 patients being attended to. Government constructed the 110 bed Maternal and Child Care Centre, to take care of the need of its Ikorodu people. Similarly, the Trauma and Burns Centre at Gbagada General Hospital has been completed. Upgrading/rehabilitation works are on-going at Epe and Ikorodu General Hospitals. To cater for the housing needs of the people, houses for different cadres of society were provided or are on going at different locations. The Oba Adeboruwa Housing Estate, Igbogbo, Ikorodu consisting 16 blocks of 192 units of 1,2,3, bedroom apartments was completed, same for the Sir Michael Otedola Housing Estate, Odoragunshin consisting of 328 units of Room & Parlour as well as 1 and 2 Bedroom Bungalows , Millennium Housing Scheme, Gbagada, consisting of 88 units of 4 & 5 Bedroom Maisonettes were undertaken. In collaboration with LAGOS HOMS, government embarked on housing schemes at Igbogbo and Gbagada which are at various stages of completion. Road projects embarked on include, the 7km Ibeshe road , Borokini, Ola Saheed and Alhaji Kutere roads in Ikorodu, 26 roads in Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, Ikorodu, Kosofe, and Somolu, while 60 are at various stages of completion. The 22.19km Network Access Farm road at Ikorodu Fish Farm Estate has been handed over, same for the 2.50km Ebute Afuye Farm Access road and the 2 km Araga Farm Settlement road . Oba Animashaun road, Epe has been rehabilitated, just as Hassan and Adebanwo Streets in Kosofe LGA were rehabilitated.

Mashalashi – Egbeda collector, Abaranje collector, Ijegun collector, 24 road collector, Trade Fair collector, Eko Akete drain, 21 road drain. Illegal mining which has been rampant in the Badagry axis was tackled by government and massive public enlightenment mounted on the ills of illegal sand dredging. The State also recently launched a partnership with Coscharis Group, to train no fewer than 640 automechanics at the recently commissioned Automobile Training Centre, Ikeja, the CS- LASG Centre.

* Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, Governor of Lagos State Private Partnership, [PPP], the government partnered the Lekki Construction Company ( LCC) on the upgrading of the 49 kilometre ultra modern Eti – Osa Lekki- Epe expressway while the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge, a cable stay bridge designed to link Ikoyi to Lekki bridge is nearing completion. To improve transportation, the Lagbus Assets Limited extended its BRT service to the Oyingbo via Yaba. Ferry services have been rejuvenated between Lagos Island and other parts of the metropolis, with jetties, including those at Badore and Osborne reconstructed or constructed. Transformers have been installed in areas like Kola Perigrino, Moba , Obalende Police Barracks, Aja Ilaje in Eti Osa, Oladimeji Aguda , Oduduwa , Pears and Bola Shadipe in Surulere, Mutairu, Ita Bale , Akoka and Pilot Close in Lagos Mainland, 60 units HAB Fasinro housing estate, Apapa GRA, the 72 luxury flats at Elegant Court, Ikota, 162 units of Maisonette units in Iponri, were completed. The environment received attention with the clearing of the Obalende channel, Eko–Akete collector drain, Surulere – Porto Novo creek – System 5 , Apapa channels, Oduduwa collector channel and Fafunwa / Karimu – Ikotun channel. Government, after evacuating tanker drivers and others who had been a menace to the environment at Ijora and Apapa, beautified the area with adorning flowers. Government is also putting up a most befitting structure for the Arbitration Court, in Lekki area, designed to further boost the drive away from litigation in favour of alternative dispute resolution.

The Imota 20,000 Metric tonnes Integrated Rice Processing Factory and the Poultry Estate at Erikorodo which features a 10,000 birds capacity mechanized broiler house and produces about one million eggs and 600,000 live birds annually , were commissioned by the Governor, while refrigerated meat vans were procured for conveying wholesome meat from the abattoir to various destinations . The Fashola administration also deflooded Munirat Aleje/ Shagamu road in Ikorodu LGA, and cleaned up major markets including Mile 12 and Ketu markets amongst others. It equally cleaned the Maidan-Aina-Agiliti CDOP and drainage on network of roads in Kosofe, maintained and cleared 25 Collector drains at Epe, 26 in Ikorodu, 23 in Kosofe, 13 in Ibeju-Lekki, and 30 in Somolu .

On the provision of adequate healthcare, the Fashola administration delivered the 110 bed Maternal and Child Care Centre [MCC] at Gbaja in Surulere and constructed three floor ‘L’-shape building extension at Harvey Road. Grassroots healthcare delivery was equally given priority attention, with the organization of the Free Breast and Cervical Cancer awareness and screening programme, at Obalende Primary Healthcare Centre, Ikoyi Obalende LCDA and Badore PHC in Eti Osa Local Government. School Health activities which include dental and medical screening, also took place at EtiOsa and Apapa Local Governments. Moving with modern ICT trend, the administration handed over the e- learning centre at Odunlami street to whet the appetite of students, teachers, researchers, entrepreneurs and other people in search of knowledge . Schools in the district benefitted from government’s bursary and scholarship, as well as Eko projects.

LAGOS CENTRAL SENATORIAL Government completed and handed over roads in different parts of the district . These include ; Cardinal Okogie road, Lekki, Adelabu, Ogunlana, Akerele and Adeniran Ogunsanya roads in Surulere, In the same way government has completed the Addo Langbasa road in Eti-Osa, Abule Nla road, Franklin and Shodipo roads in Lagos Mainland, as well as Akinwande, Strabag, Idita, Oyediran and Ogungbesan roads also in Surulere, all of which are waiting to be handed over. It constructed the OkunAjah/Ogombo/ Ajiweh in Eti-Osa, as well as 82 other roads at various stages of completion within the senatorial district. Under its Public-

LAGOS WEST SENATORIAL DISTRICT The Lagos Traffic Radio on 96.1 FM was established as a vehicle for educating Lagosians on best traffic and road use practices, as well as providing vital information on traffic situation in the state. The environment received adequate attention, with regular clearing of drainage channels, maintenance and construction of new ones. Those undertaken in the district include: the N2.5 billion Aboru channelization project in Agbado Oke-Odo Local Council Development Area, Alaba – Oro – Badagry channel outfall collector, Badagry market road drain, Samuel Ekundayo – Itoga drain, Palace road / Itoga/ Y Junction / Wanel st drain, Mosan collector,

Similarly, the gateway Lagos – Badagry expressway, which is being upgraded into a ten lane super highway, fitted with ultra modern facilities, is very much in progress. A network of roads in Alimosho, including Association Avenue, Shasha-Orisunbare, Ejigbo road, Agodo Community roads, Niyi Street, Owolabi Street, Adeyinka Street, Old Otta Road, Rufai/ Yekini/Church Streets among others were handed over to the community .

Olaitan Mustapha housing estate with 80 units , Adetoun Mustapha estate, with 380 units, located in Ojokoro area and Millennium Housing Scheme Iloro [Agege], have been undertaken. As part of its malaria control programme, indoor residual spraying was conducted in Amuwo Odofin Iga, Oriade LCDA, Ojo Local Government and Iba LCDA. The Fashola administration in the last one hundred days, also launched the novel Service Charter, as a catalyst for better service delivery. The initiative aims at repositioning the public service to be better accountable, by informing clients, members of the public, of services provided by a Ministry, Department or Agency’s (MDAs) , as well as relevant avenues for communication. By creating the Charter, the State Government has once again blazed the trail by showing that the public sector can indeed be customer friendly, warm, transparent, effective and efficient. The new traffic law, which was signed by Governor Babatunde Fashola ( SAN), on August 2, will curb indiscipline on Lagos roads. The law which seeks to regulate transportation in the state, seeks to effect a behavioural change in the road users and inculcate in Lagosians a good traffic culture of patience , dignity and respect for law and order. With the law, safety, security, better health, improved economy and better organization of our society can be guaranteed and Lagosians will live better and have a good deal from their government.

Lateef Aderemi Ibirogba is the Honourable Commissioner for Information & Strategy, Lagos State.

COMMENTARY Comments

EDITORIAL FROM OTHER LAND

Good intentions, but …

•The principles behind the new Lagos traffic laws are laudable; some rough edges appear

N

O doubt: there is urgent need to sanitise situations on Lagos roads, which are, even at the best of times, a bedlam. So, drastic efforts must be made to root out ingrained willful traffic infractions, particularly among lawless commercial bus drivers and bike riders; not to talk of outlaw uniformed men and women, that make the Lagos traffic such nightmare. Still, there is even a more compelling need to resist the attempt to slap a draconic law on the citizenry. In an atmosphere notorious for routine impunity, the possible abuses could well be the death of the law and its fine principles. That is the grand paradox facing the Lagos State Road Traffic Law 2012, which Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, just signed. Where does a good law end and where does the harsh anger of Draco begin? That is the challenge facing this new law, billed to take effect immediately it is gazetted. The state government might want to take a fresh look at some of the harsh provisions. But the apparently draconian aspects are vitiated by the futuristic vision of the law that envisages, implicitly, that the road networks will make adherence less cumbersome. The new law seeks to punish any action that could lead to attention dip, which could be lethal or even fatal while driving. So, attaching punitive fines to phoning, eating, drinking while driving is quite welcome. The basics of driving forbid such, for the safety of the driver, his passengers and

other road users. That many, if not most indulge in these dangerous practices just shows the fraudulent way most acquire drivers’ licences. The new law would help to underscore the importance of basic driving etiquettes. But the long-term solution would be to ensure whoever acquires a driver’s licence is tested and found worthy of the licence, a process already on in the state. Though commercial bike riders have been protesting the provisions of the law that limits them to certain category of roads, no self-respecting government would allow itself to be blackmailed by a few against the majority. If the commercial bike riders had any case, it is punctured by their well known notoriety for reckless driving. Limiting commercial bikers to certain classes of roads is justified; for the present practice of access to all roads and patronage of all sorts of customers, from the minor to most elderly of citizens is tantamount to courting needless road crashes. It should be decried; and the law has done the needful by outlawing it. Still, until a comprehensive transport system is evolved, the law can only be partially successful. The sorry fact is that in the face of acute shortage on the transport supply sides, the law of demand and supply will still ensure those who dare would still do illicit business with Okada riders. And that applies to those roads from which commercial riders are excluded. Another key stakeholders upset with the law are the Association of Maritime Truck Owners (AMATO), who have

been hit by the law’s ban on trucks (aside from fuel tankers) from 6am to 9pm. That body has stacked its cards, claiming the Federal Government would lose revenue from port operations because of the new law. That might well be, but their self-interest is all the more evident in their arguments, which is hardly a crime. But again, the interest of a few cannot override that of the majority. However, Lagos State will do well to look into their complaints and see how they can be addressed without necessarily jeopardising the spirit and intention of the new law, which is fixing the traffic bedlam in Lagos. The principles behind the new law are admirable. But some aspects of it have to be toned down, in view of reactions of the public. More importantly, if the law must be successful, the government must go on a preimplementation drive, stressing the prevention-better-than-cure principle. Those who obey the law need not fear its harsh provisions.

‘But the apparently draconian aspects are vitiated by the futuristic vision of the law that envisages, implicitly, that the road networks will make adherence less cumbersome’

Medals and money •It is no coincidence that well-endowed nations in material and human resources excel at the Olympics

T

HE medals table of the London 2012 Olympics is a study in the power of money to achieve many things, so to speak. At the top of the long line of countries participating in the games are some of the world’s richest and most advanced countries. The frontrunners include China, United States, Great Britain, France and South Korea and Germany, nations that are ahead in terms of material resources as well as human capital. It may not be a mere coincidence that these leading nations are occupying the foremost positions at the games. No doubt, the Olympic Games, organised every four years and involving a multitude of sports, make a huge demand on the resources of countries that aim to excel in the big international competitions. However, it is certainly more than a matter of cash, although the presence of funds is a significant factor. Surely, it requires money to build and maintain

‘The generally dismal performance of African countries at the London games is indeed food for thought. Africa has a reputation for being backward and underdeveloped, and the lowly positions of African countries on the medals table have not redeemed the continent’s image’

the necessary infrastructure for sports. But the dominant countries have not only modern facilities for training and competitions; they also have a developed system of sports organisation that recognises the importance of timely preparation. It is a well known fact that the countries that excel on the big stage like the Olympics start their preparations well ahead of the games. In fact, even as the London Olympics is drawing to a close, the serious countries are already planning for the next games in four years. This ethic of hard work is not only reasonable; it is commendable as well, and usually results in the harvest of gold medals that such countries enjoy at games like the Olympics. The generally dismal performance of African countries at the London games is indeed food for thought. Africa has a reputation for being backward and underdeveloped, and the lowly positions of African countries on the medals table have not redeemed the continent’s image. It is interesting and perhaps no surprise that the performance of South Africa offers something of a redeeming feature, given the fact that it is a highly westernised and relatively better developed country in the African context. South Africa is at the top of participating countries from Africa, and has won a number of medals that give the country some respect in international sports. The Olympics features such a wide variety of sports, with a good number of them alien to African countries, many of

which are unfortunately limited in resources. While the developed nations have the extra cash to invest in the notso-popular sports, African countries usually cannot go beyond the well known ones. This limitation, which is occasioned by the relative poverty of the continent, definitely works against African countries at such games as the multi-sport Olympics. However, the games have interestingly played up Africans who participated in the colours of countries in the developed world. For example, in this circle of Africans who have brought sporting glory to countries outside the continent at the Olympics are a number of Nigerians who represented Great Britain. The superb performance of such athletes cannot be isolated from the environmental factor; they certainly benefited from the resources and organisation of the countries they represented. Nigeria, the so-called ‘giant of Africa’, has not lived up this flattering billing at London 2012. In the case of the country, which is oil-rich yet burdened by inexplicable poverty levels, the hindrance is not so much money as the utilisation of funds. The country is regrettably lagging behind in the development of sports facilities and organisation. This reality is compounded by its tendency to adopt something of a “fire-brigade approach” in its preparation for big sporting events; and it is a style that is bound to fail in the face of more focused, long-term preparation.

News from our neighboring planet ARS never gets old. Every time we get a new look at the planet we see it in higher resolution. The earliest images shot from a dedicated spacecraft, taken by Mariner 4 in July 1965, look more like images from an abdominal ultrasound than photographs of a planet. Now, nearly half a century later, we can watch ourselves watching Mars. After the rover Curiosity landed successfully early Monday morning, it was photographed on the Martian surface by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter passing overhead. Curiosity was already looking out toward the horizon, its instruments coming online one by one. This new landing — a triumph of scientific technology — tells us as much about the human imagination as it does about the fourth planet from the sun. Compared with what science fiction writers have made of Mars, the Curiosity mission looks rudimentary, almost primitive. But the spark of actuality is far more captivating than anything we can imagine. We have been seeing detailed images of Mars for years. And yet when Curiosity began transmitting from Gale Crater, it presented us with the cognitive shock of seeing Mars in something close to real time. Curiosity’s operations are complex, but its mission is simple: to examine the chemistry of Mars in hopes of learning whether it might have supported microbial life. The landing was a one-time drama. What we get now is the continuing drama of interplanetary observation. If all goes well, there will be a flood of data arriving from Curiosity’s sensors and cameras. And for many people, each new increment of knowledge will be a new inducement to walk outside on a clear, dark night and look for that tiny red dot of reflected light overhead. – New York Times

CARTOON & LETTERS

S

IR: I wish to congratulate the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola (SAN) and the government for the efforts they are putting into restoring law and order in the Lagos metropolis. As a resident in this state for more than two decades, I can say that I have seen it all. Lagos, in the 1970s was a peaceful and orderly state where one could drive safely and get to one’s destination in time. Lagos was a place where people obeyed traffic laws and vehicle owners respected the rights of each other and pedestrians to use the roads. Right up to the eighties and even early nineties, Lagos traffic was still orderly and some of us who drove cars in those days could testify to this. Things began to fall apart when the importation of second-hand vehicles became part of state policy in the country. The floodgate was opened for all kinds of vehicles. Nigeria became the dumpsite for all manners of vehicles including those ones that were no longer road

EDITOR’S MAIL BAG SEND TYPEWRITTEN, DOUBLE SPACED AND SIGNED CONTRIBUTIONS, LETTERS AND REJOINDERS OF NOT MORE THAN 1000 WORDS TO THE EDITOR, THE NATION, 27B, FATAI ATERE ROAD, MATORI, LAGOS. E-mail: views@thenationonlineng.com

New Lagos Traffic Law timely worthy. Lagos, as the financial and administrative capital of Nigeria, became the victim of this uncontrolled policy. The number of vehicles, both commercial and private, suddenly shot up without corresponding increase in road infrastructure. Traffic became increasingly chaotic. The situation was further compounded by the population explosion in the late 1980s and early 1990s resulting in the growth of slums and illegal markets across the metropolis. Even when the administrative capital of the country was moved to Abuja in 1991, Lagos traffic still remained chaotic as the state continued as the industrial and fi-

nancial hub of the nation and, in fact, the West African sub-region. It was the near failure of the transport sector in the state that necessitated the use of motorcycles for commercial purposes in Lagos. When people could no longer get to their places of work and business or keep to time schedules as a result of traffic hold-ups, motorcycles became the next alternative. But motorcycles have now compounded the traffic situation as they do not comply with any traffic regulation. Sometime last year, or thereabouts, I remember the Lagos State government imposed some restrictions on the commercial motorcycle

operators banning them from plying some routes in the state. They were also banned from taking more than one passenger, pregnant women and underage children. This was aside from the order that they and their passengers must wear protective helmets. All these regulations, the commercial motorcycle operators have flouted. In fact, they have today become a menace to the people of Lagos, for aside from the hundreds of people they send to their early graves or maim every year, commercial motorcycles have become instruments for robbery and other violent crimes. Lagosians, have every reason to be grateful to this administration

Ondo election: Campaign should focus on issues

S

IR: for some days now the election campaigns in Ondo State have been characterized more by personality attacks rather than issues affecting the masses. The first fire came when the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) candidate, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, was referred to as an alien. Next he was accused of not being a registered voter in Ondo State. A comic angle was added to the campaign when it was alleged that Prophet T.B Joshua predicted that the incumbent Governor Mimiko will not win the election. This is bane of Nigerian politics; the failure to tackle our leaders on issues during campaigns. Rather than do this, we embark on frivolity, idle gossips and sometimes violence induced by financial gratification. We need to redirect this political intellectual bankruptcy in the campaigns by placing in the front burner issues that affects the masses. Some of these issues include the need to revive all public

schools in Ondo State and stop our dependence on exploitative and expensive private schools. Senior political office holders in Ondo State are not ready to discuss this issue because they have enough money to spend on private primary and secondary school. Awolowo/Ajasin period often used as a reference by them made free and qualitative education available in Ondo State. As a lawyer, I am grateful to Chief Ajasin’s free primary education programme which I benefited from. Can the same be said of Mimiko’s education policy after three and half years? Private primary school fees before Mimiko administration was N7,500 but today it cost N35,000 to N55,000 per term to send your child to private primary school. Mega schools have not changed anything being a drop in the ocean of problems facing education in the state. The proprietors of the private schools in Ondo State hike their fees

every term based on what they referred to as excessive taxation from Mimiko administration. It is scandalous that whereas I paid N25,000 in Law School to be called to bar, I now pay N55,000 on my baby in nursery school. Ondo State industry which is education is collapsing; we can no longer produce those vibrant educated brains from rural areas any-

more because of their poor background. Good education is now for the rich and privileged class in Ondo State. These are issues the masses are expecting to hear in this campaign and not the baseless propaganda now freely served as campaign in the state. • Titiloye Charles, Akure, Ondo State

for the continued innovations and renewals in the policies of the state which have helped in no small way to open up the transport space. I am particular about the commercial motorcycle operators because they are totally out of control and need to be checked. At major bus-stops like Ojota, Mile 2, Mile 12, Palm groove, Ojuelegba, Oshodi, IyanaIpaja, Agege e.t.c commercial motorcycle, or okada, riders execute all kinds of gymnastics right there on the roads. Aside hawking for passengers while taking up part of the expressway, they also jump the road divide to change direction. This they do by stopping suddenly at the side of the road and lifting the front of the bike to place the front tyre on the divide and then accelerating to force the back tyre up the concrete pavement. Most times they do not succeed the first time and that means the bike rolls back onto the road before the rider makes the second attempt. This, to say the least, puts a motorist at a very dangerous spot because he is forced to swerve to avoid the bike and God help him if there is another car, lorry or trailer by his other side. This is what happens at most busstops on a daily basis.

IR: Having observed recent political activities in Anambra State, Ndigbo Unity Forum an Igbo socio-cultural organization has chosen to add it’s voice to a consensus held among the public and stakeholders that the local government elections is long overdue. It is totally uncalled for, and represents a democratic aberration that the governor Mr. Peter Obi, himself a beneficiary of rule of law and the democratic system will put the system he benefited from in abeyance by his failure to

S

conduct the local government election in the state. Ndigbo Unity Forum appeals to Mr. Peter Obi the Governor of Anambra State to do what is right by doing the following: Set up a timetable and make sure that local government election is conducted in the state before December; he should also ensure that revenue allocations, which have accrued to the councils under his administration for the past six years is accounted for. Finally, we call on his adminis-

tration to ensure a level playing ground for aspirants in the coming election. The Forum wishes to commend Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, Ogiris Igbo, Chief Victor Umeh National Chairman APGA and other stakeholders in the state that have chosen to do what is right by calling on the government to do right thing by conducting the local government election. • Augustine Chukwudum, Odoakpu, Onitsha, Anambra State

ODAY, a creepy trend ensues: the Nigerian man is incidental. He has become disposable means to self-indulgent ends. But the Nigerian woman isn’t; she is hopelessly accidental, even as she giftedly uses and disposes her men. But she does not know that. That is why, despite their touted talents and depth, the best of Nigeria’s female icons pales irredeemably, against the colourful rainbow of hope and expectations that heralded their emergence. I will not agonize on the wantonness and serial silliness of successive occupants of office of the “First Lady” yet, as their tragicomedy furnishes interesting discourse for another day. Apology to the “First Lady” with substance and the will to be truly humane; if she ever truly exists. The antecedents and on-going travesties of the Nigerian “female icon,” “alpha female” or whatever hurt the nation today. It devastates the girl-child and women alike simply by injecting a false and gratuitous default amount of animosity in them towards men and Nigeria’s established patriarchy. By their politics, they neglect the boy-child, girl child and women living in extreme circumstances and burden impressionable females with gifts of chips on their shoulders and axes to grind. These impressionable youngsters breeze through the processes, as you read, internalising every anti-patriarchy psychology they could glean along the way until they learn to give vent

S

to internalised discontent. Eventually, we have too many women screaming ‘women’s lib’ and professing to protect women’s rights. And we have too many women reading too much meaning into everything and agitating about anything, like the television commercial in which a joyous father of a newborn yells into his mobile phone’s mouthpiece: “Mama na boy o.” To them, such advert constitutes an offensive patriarchal mindset. Such paranoia is wholly enabled by the emergence and practicability of Nigerianised version of Western feminism. Many advocates of Nigerian women’s rights and greater women empowerment today, comprise what a “discerning” and “assertive”female friend has described as “closet feminists” and “liberated feminists.” Together they seek greater women participation in politics, commerce and other crucial aspects of society claiming development cannot be achieved when Nigerian women have been excluded from the decision making process. However, not much credit can be ascribed to the few privileged females involved in Nigeria’s decision making process. No thanks to the latter, an anti- female power structure has emerged purportedly for the advancement of the Nigerian woman, but is unable to do so because it is dominated by two cliques of women. The first clique comprises of women married to powerful men and spoilt brats of aristocratic descent. The second comprises

ADNESS descended on Ghana and the rest of Africa on the sudden passing of President John Atta Mills. Much was said of this great man and all that was said was good. A man devoid of personal vanity, President Atta Mills would have been embarrassed by the torrent of encomiums. He would have protested that he was undeserving of the eulogies. This would have been one of those rare moments that he was mistaken. What was said upon his departure has been fitting but also inadequate. President Atta Mills was a man with a profound, comprehensive intellect. Unlike many individuals whose public carriage as a politician diverges in a negative way from their private persona, the private and public morals and practices of this man were undifferentiated. There was no seam dividing the public official from the private man. He was guided by a moral compass that did not waver according to the circumstance. He did not change his beliefs by the situation. Instead of bending his principles to fit the situation, he exercised the moral fortitude and courage to make the situation subservient to his principles and beliefs. Here was a man, the leader of a nation, who did more than talk of democracy. He did not support the way and means of democracy only when they served his interests. He cherished democracy to the extent that he saw it as an end in itself. As such and to his last breath, President Atta Mills walked the walk of a democrat — in all that he did and how he did it. If for nothing else, we owe him a debt of gratitude. Moreover, we owe it to ourselves to reflect on the life of this man. President Atta Mills was more than a kind and gentle leader. He was a subtle, yet innovative pioneer in the arena of African democratic politics. As such, he was and continues to be a guiding light for all of us. If we seek to be anything close to wise, we should direct our gaze toward that light in order to reclaim the path to the type of democratic governance and equitable development we desire for our nation and the rest of Africa. President Atta Mills was an outstanding leader and a sentinel of democratic governance. His contributions to the advance of political justice and economic development in Ghana and throughout the continent were understated yet immense. Because he was so humble and subtle, most people do not appreciate the fact that cast a mold for new breed and style of African leader. We never know the truth man until the moment he tastes

ambitious, Ivy-League-trained and dazzling females who have risen to the apex of their careers through meritorious service. Together they constitute Nigeria’s greatest nightmare. That is because by their citizenship, Nigeria suffers devastating blows to its value system and family structure. This band of self-styled fortune hunters like their male counterparts, conveniently choose to ignore the balancing, nurturing and conscientious roles they ought to play at checkmating the unbridled excesses and terrorism of the male folk. They shamelessly perpetuate an oligarchic female power formation leveraged on patron-client patriarchal structures – the same structure that incites their revolt. They owe neither moral nor legal obligation to further the ideal of their fellow women rather they exploit their positions and opportunities for economic gains and political relevance. But lest we castigate this new breed of Nigerian female, it is important to acknowledge that they constitute an unavoidable response to the unspeakable insanity and insensitivity of the Nigerian male folk. Lower down the ladder of this band of fortune bandits however, exists an even more desperate gang of insufferable women advocates. Think advocacy gurus, women’s rights activists and female C.E.Os, students, youth leaders etc. Their modus operandi involves reading too much into everything and projecting their own neurotic views of reality over far simpler and true reality. They redefine the world upon straw men where there are none and fight needless battles against a ghost army. Yet this fantastic quest of theirs is hardly about maximizing under-privileged women’s lot or improving the lot of

the country thus at the end, in doing battle with their ghost army of straw men, they alienate their actual allies and indifferent peers, thus creating more blowback for themselves. The blowback, of course, is relative to each feminist and whatever incites her discontent. And as this never-ending discontent becomes the primary source of their righteous victimhood, they desperately lust for and seek to acquire wealth, power, status and any other enablement that would guarantee their comfort and rebellion against the established order. When they acquire it, they loathe letting go of it and become addicted to it, like junkies. Just like their men. And they will stop at nothing; even if it means adopting both destructive and constructive measures to craft and sustain power in their lives as a dependable safe-guard against the proverbial monstrous man. This breeds a self-perpetuating cycle of hate that keeps such characters unsatisfied and their men, eternally less than. The consequence is that instead of enjoying life naturally and as each situation peculiarly demands; the new Nigerian feminist reduces her own quality of life by seeing the world through a sexist filter and not as it truly is. This goads a considerable segment of the female folk to pursue whole-heartedly, the perversion of certain established social and universal absolutes that had at one time or the other served as their moral and psychological compasses and comfort zones. Think custom and religion. Asides family, the church is a major casualty of this anomaly as the gospel currently asphyxiates in the heat waves of “expedient evangelism” of Nigeria’s dandy female pastors.

If religion stands no chance, culture doesn’t either. Traditional and divine absolutes of old are of little or no basic worth today; that is why the average Nigerian woman today stands the scripture and tested norms on the head as she spiritedly seeks to emasculate her man and call the shots at home, in the boardroom and even the temples of God. The central goal of an average Nigerian woman today is to attain selfactualization at whatever cost, often times. This change in ambition is inherently liberating; as it frees a multitude of women from the drudgery of injurious marriages and societal norms. However, this radical change in disposition negatively affects their life arc as a whole; it perverts their relationships, self-esteem, stress levels, pastime, sexual culture, and time and resource allocation – a reality they never actually bargained for. Driven by lust for financial independence, they seek to achieve every other kind of freedom even as they close their eyes to the tensions and contradictions consequent from the interconnectedness of those freedoms. They choose to ignore the fact that with freedom comes a future that can neither be predicted nor controlled; and that changes they seek will oftentimes, negate their heartfelt dreams. Consequently, they constitute a rehash of a more aggressive trend of radical Western feminism, like a breath of fresh stench in Nigeria’s mortuary of hope and humanity. Female icons we have now are ultimately harmful to Nigeria’s womanhood and State; they are insidiously worse than the patriarchy they seek to eradicate. Why? • To be continued…

Atta Mills walked the walk of a democrat By Bola Ahmed Tinubu power or money. Until then, he may act humanely and friendly because his weakness affords no other choice. Thus, many seem to be caring populists or fine princes as they begin the climb to power. Once the person reaches the peak, the hopeful public is disappointed to learn that the object of their support is a toad. Many politicians are dictators in democrat’s clothing. The higher they climb, the more arrogant and authoritarian they become. When they attain the power they sought, the only thing they want to hear is their own voice. The only thing they want to see is the rest of the nation nodding in mindless agreement at their statements. President Atta Mills rejected this model of leadership. Although he reached the zenith of national power, he never changed. He refused to allow the trappings of power to turn him against his better self. He remained true to his noble objective – an able man dedicated to the common welfare. Never losing his bearings, President Atta Mills always remembered that he was the public’s servant; that his tenancy in high office should not be abused to turn the public into his servant. Most of us appreciate that his way was the proper one, but we underestimate the courage and strength of character he harnessed in order to take this road. It is always easier to be a strongman than to be a statesman. Authoritarians rule rather than to the govern people; their harshness is rarely born of anything salutary but is usually the byproduct of an inner cowardice. Unsure of himself, the authoritarian would rather bridle their political opponents because the authoritarian is ultimately unsure if he could win a fair and free contest of competence and ideas. President Atta Mills suffered from no such infirmity. He tolerated all manner of dissent, criticism and even ridicule from his opponents because he understood these things to be the small price he had to pay to insure democracy and liberty for all. He was brave enough to bear this cost. He was selfless enough to do it quietly, without fanfare. That he kept ambition in check had deep, salutary repercussions. Because he saw himself as an employee of Ghanaians of all stripes and social station, he devoted his time and energy to the issues that shaped their collective well-

being. Since he did not see political office as an avenue to accumulate power and money unto himself as if he were an ancient potentate, he never followed the detour most Africa leaders take. President Atta Mills never tried to finagle his nation’s governmental institutions to perpetuate his stay in office. He saw the Ghanaian constitution as something inviolate, a noble document to be left untampered by the wiles of personal ambition. Due to the example he helped to establish, no one dared manipulate the constitution toward an improper outcome upon his untimely passing. The succession of the vice president into the presidency occurred according to the rule of law, without intrigue or question. This is how it should be everywhere but not how things are in most of Africa. The late president’s very style of leadership nurtured democracy. He was a collegial chief executive. He never flexed the muscle of his authority so that he appeared larger than life or law. Because he was wise, he never considered his word to be gospel. He had no desire to appear omniscient in all matters. Instead, he was eager to listen and learn. The late president understood that the true objective was not for him to appear to be the supreme leader but for his administration to derive the best policies for the nation. Thus, President Atta Mills was disinterested in surrounding himself with an ensemble of political journeymen chirping the song they thought he wanted to hear or jockeying to mirror every move he made. Instead, he sought to surround himself with the best cabinet ministers and advisors he could nab. His self confidence was such that he could afford to dispense with the ‘yes men’ and pantomimes that crowd around the council tables of too many governments. He rebuffed the tactic of feeling big by surrounding himself with the petty. He enhanced his leadership by surrounding himself with people of capacity and stature. In this way, he did not promote himself. He promoted able governance and then let able governance promote him. Because of the example he and others have set, Ghana stands at the forefront of African nations in terms of democratic governance and policies encouraging sustainable economic development. Much of the commentary after his passing portrayed President Atta Mills as another worldly angel or some type of avuncular demigod or

political colossus. He would scoff at these inflated notions. President Atta Mills was a man, made of flesh, bone and blood like the rest of us. Had he been another worldly figure, there would be no lessons to learn from his journey. Those of us who are mere mortals would not be able to replicate his accomplishments. Being a mere man makes Atta Mills more than a political demigod or colossus. By their very nature, such beings and their deeds are superhuman. They have no other choice. Their feats are predetermined to be great either for good or bad. Not so with man. Man must choose what he wants to be. He can be sublime or silly. Brave or cowardly. Selfless or selfish. Democrat or despot. John Atta Mills was not ordained to be the statesman he became. He chose to become the man we know and loved. He chose to stand by democracy when many other African leaders walked in the opposite direction. He chose to uplift his nation and its people rather than exalt himself. He chose to work for others instead of using his position to force them to labour for him. He had a choice to take the easy and wrong path but elected to take the difficult but right one. To be a man who has the courage to make the extraordinary decision makes him more important than and superior to some mythical demigod or colossus. As someone who strove to perfect the governance of his nation and to better the welfare of its people, it makes him a hero for the ages. Although the sun set too quickly on his life, what he stood for and what he accomplished continues to shine brightly. What he did, he as man. This means that those currently in positions of leadership or who seek to be in the future have the ability to emulate him. The question becomes do they have the courage and love of the people to do it? Those who do shall join President Atta Mills in the Hall of Fame. Those who don’t may enjoy themselves for the moment. But their profit shall prove fleeting and their names shall be scribed in the Hall of Shame. It is a manner of choice. President Atta Mills has done his part by showing the way. We must now decide if we have the fortitude to follow. Fare thee well, President John Atta Mills. We shall miss you. •Asiwaju Tinubu is the National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)

COMMENTS “The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.” —Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) Former British Prime Minister NDER this democracy, the arena of public discourse is routinely fouled by appalling deportment of men who in the past have not acquitted themselves as proper and fit persons to be designated as statesmen. These leaders claim statesmanship status but in the true sense of the word, one doubts whether it will be right to confer them with such appellation. If all the nation can boast of, are these men with shady/cloudy and condemnable careers in and out of public life, then, the country still have a long way to go in its redemptive journey of salvaging the nation in all spheres begging for attention. Naturally, statesmen ought to be notable people with long service of revered careers in public life, Foreign Service, industry and the economy- both at home and abroad. Statesmen are expected to be friend to truth and with apparent souls of sincerity. They must have widely acknowledged honour/ integrity and must be faithful in all their public actions. Statesmen should be reliable personages with a record of adherence to promises made. But do we have these men of public piety in abundance in Nigeria? What we have in profusion are ‘statesmen’ that forsake their own personal conscience in pursuit of selfish agenda, and if they are not quickly checked, they may lead the country on a path of devastating chaos and corporate perfidy. Such statesmen, unfortunately, become denigrated in public domain because they display no regard for the collective will/ good of their people. Perhaps, that is why the public banters between Ijaw High Chief, Edwin Clark, and General Ibrahim Babangida, have received odious acclamation from the public. Ordinarily, what Clark said by calling on Babangida and other northern leaders to speak out on the brutal Boko Haram sect should not have elicited negative outbursts but because such was coming from an old man that is widely perceived to have compromised his integrity. Many believed that Clark’s media criticisms of governors and others in government are largely due to everything but not a consequent of patriotic fervour or love of public good. On Babangida’s part, his response was

I

T is a one-inch, three paragraph news story but it is bound to break your heart if you still have one hanging in the right place. I cringed as I read the story and tears welled up in my eyes. Yes, I wept. It dawned on me immediately that there are still beasts living among us, people walking on foot like humans but are actually wild animals on the prowl. Particularly troubling was the realization that their population is increasing by the day. They grow in number and in boldness as the Nigerian society is incrementally damaged everyday; the country transmutes into a jungle before our eyes. The story that made me cry is the assassination of a certain Pastor Emmanuel Adoba, the special adviser (Administration) to the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Hon. Benjamin Uwajimogu. One more killing you may say, in this killing field where people are slaughtered daily as if cadaver is our major export commodity. What is the big deal, you may ask? Well this killing is different because it was a butchery of the most bestial kind. Pastor Adoba had been assailed in his country residence before his wife and children. Having bound members of his family arms and legs, the beasts had first shot Adoba, then proceeded to dismember his body with sharp machete… Pray, what manner of men would shoot a man and then proceed to cut the body to pieces? Even in butchering a mere cow, it is done with a bit of reverence and decorum. This modern day savagery is said to be attributable to a communal tussle for a kingship stool. Whatever the cause may be, the horror of it is not only in the barbarity of the action but the nonchalance with which it has been received by the government, the Police, the people and even the press. No roaring umbrage, no protestations, no condemnations and not even an orchestration of reports about the incident. Is this our new ethos? Have I been left behind in a new Nigerian mores? Now the beasts of Owerri West - both the lowly animals that pulled the trigger and wielded the machete as well as their sponsors - are walking about, free as air, eating, drinking and even slapping each others’ backs. No iota of compunction, no chase, no security, no law, no justice. They are out there unperturbed, stupendously enriched, they plot their next strike. Who would it be? Sadly,

‘Statesmen’ and Macabre dance

•Edwin Clark largely a redemptive attempt- nothing but an act of playing to the gallery. He only capitalised on the abysmally low ratings of Clark in public view to foul the air with his proxy press statement that left the real issue of Boko Haram, to dwell instead on attacking the person of Clark. Indeed, one can still recollect that Babangida and Olusegun Obasanjo (former President), jointly issued a recent press release assuring on the sanctity of the corporate entity called Nigeria and called for an end to the Boko Haram menace. But it is on record that both leaders, sorry ‘statesmen,’ while in power, did many things which but for almighty God, could have disintegrated the country. The June 12 Presidential election widely acknowledged to be the best till date in the country was criminally annihi-

lated by Babangida, for no altruistic reason. The riggings that took place during Obasanjo’s eight-year presidency took electoral injustice to another level, and ordinarily in a politically sensitive nation, a revolution, like a volcanic eruption, should have erupted, dismembering the nation in the process. Yet, one can still recollect that the two former rulers (pardon my impudence), I mean ‘statesmen,’ once brazenly engaged in media war making unprintable statements against one another and their administrations. Are these the best of ‘statesmen’ that this country can produce or look forward to, to lead its path to national greatness? Probably, it would not have been wrong if this piece was otherwise titled ‘senior citizens at war’. Many might even add these ‘statesmen’ for selfish reasons have always been at continual war. It might be difficult to deny the fact that Chief Edwin Clark and General Ibrahim Babangida are notable sons of this country. One was a former minister while the other was a former military head of state. In their own right, they both enjoy tremendous support from their ethnic clans. Clarks does from the Ijaw and the entire Niger-Delta: Babangida does from the Hausa/ Fulani and even the entire north. But rather than constructively contribute to the development of this nation, they have both decided to engage in a theatre of the absurd, a disgraceful macabre dance in the court of public opinion. The type of dance that raises doubts in the minds of younger generation, forcing these young folks to ponder over whether with this kind of elder ‘statesmen’, the nation really has any prospect of devel-

The beasts of Owerri and other bestialities they are the new rich of the community, the envy of gullible young people who would give anything to join their ‘club’. It is not as if this bestiality in Owerri West Local Government of Imo State is new or unheard of in Nigeria. One is just taken aback that such horror continues to fester with new flavors added every day. About 11 years ago, one of the greatest minds out of this clime, Chief Bola Ige, then Minister of Justice, was put out in like manner. He was not only shot, his body was reportedly battered right there in his Ibadan residence. It was the same fate that befell ebullient Engineer Funso Williams; he was dealt a gruesome death by strangulation in his Dolphine Estate, Ikoyi , Lagos home. The beastly undertakers were never found. Today, that big man living next door to you may be one of them; how many more souls has he squashed in the last decade? That is our tragedy.

…And other bestialities of the East

Nigeria seems to currently stew in the blood of her citizens; everywhere you look, it is evil piggybacking on even more unspeakable evil. But while bombs are not going off in the south east of Nigeria, the entire area has practically become a wasteland. From Asaba to Onitsha, Awka, owerri, Umuahia, Enugu to Abakaliki; all the major cities (and towns) of the South East seem to have been seized by criminal gangs who render the zone near inhabitable. Every new day dawns with new stories of

freshly minted horror. In Asaba last week, a nursing mother who was taking her children to school was ambushed at about 7.00 am and abducted with her 5-month-old baby in tow. Her two little kids were abandoned right there in the middle of the road as their mother was bundled away. From Anambra State, (Njikoka LGA), kidnappers abducted the traditional ruler of Ukpo, Igwe Robert Eze near his palace as he returned from church service last Sunday. They had demanded for N100 million as ransom. Just as the sum of N60 million was reportedly gathered and offered the hoodlums, they raised the ante by simply changing the currency of their demand: it is now $100 million or nothing. Yes, one hundred million dollars! In Aba, Abia State, soldiers raided an ‘orphanage’ which turned out to be a child trafficking home and they recovered six babies and three pregnant girls. The girls were reportedly handed over to the State Security Service, SSS. The owner of the home, said to be a notorious and long-standing child trafficker was said to have been arrested last year by the police but was later release to return to her ‘business’. Last year, in the same locality in Aba, a baby ‘clinic’ had been uncovered with 32 pregnant girls found. The girls who were of school age were allegedly lured in to pregnancy by the medical doctor owner of the clinic who upon delivery, took their babies and pay them off. Okay, if think I am boring you with routine stories, how about this one: the youths

oping. Majority of those that derive pleasure in being referred to as statesmen thrive on the spur of the moment and with mindsets of reaping what at their stage in life should mean nothing to them again-ripping the country off in the process. Before some people get me wrong, let it be known that one acknowledge the reality that the nation still has some living true statesmen. Emeka Anyaoku- former secretary-general of the Commonwealth is one of them. General Buhari, former head of state is another. Maitama Sule-former diplomat, Gamaliel Onosode- industrial guru, General Alani Akinrinade-former Chief of Army/ Defence staff, are good examples of true statesman among very few others that one could not easily figure out at the time of writing this piece. The nation will continue to contend with erratic ‘statesmen’whose insincere voices have overwhelmed the true statesmen for as long as the country continues to have an inept presidency that is bereft of ideas on how to move this country forward; and to guarantee it a pride of place among the comity of civilised nations. This needs to be done in order to make Nigeria a secured place for Nigerians and foreigners to live in all season. Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), former British Prime Minister may be right when he said: “The world is weary of statesmen whom democracy has degraded into politicians.” While people in the other continents are weary of statesmen like the Babangidas, Clarks and Obasanjos among several others that democracy has degraded into politicians, it is sad that these laughable personalities that routinely engage in macabre dances, in the public arena, still dominate national discourses in our dear country. What a shame!

‘What we have in profusion are ‘statesmen’ that forsake their own personal conscience in pursuit of selfish agenda, and if they are not quickly checked, they may lead the country on a path of devastating chaos and corporate perfidy’ of Opi in Nsukka LGA of Enugu State seem to have developed a demonic craving to rape old widows and women of their grand mothers’ caliber. But if once was a coincidence, what do you say to the defiling of the same old women twice? The renegade youths were said to have been arrested after the first incident and detained at the Police Criminal Investigation Department in Enugu but were later released whereupon they invaded the same old widows in the dead of night, kicking down their doors and savaging them a second time. One trend that runs through all these is the helplessness of the people. There seems to be a total lack of government. There is also the police as collaborators. Unfortunately, the situation will get worse to the point of implosion. Our greedy and visionless leaders do not realize the harm they bring upon the land when they steal funds meant for the development of the LGAs and the rural areas. Each year brings forth a new set of young people who are deprived, who are frustrated and who are unguided. Nature abhors a vacuum they say. These people will have to engage themselves somehow and this is what they are doing. Let me leave you with what Prophet Isaiah of the bible recorded in chapter 3, verse 12:… “O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,/ And destroy the way of your path.” (NKJV).

LAST MUG: Lamido Sanusi’s Infrastructure Bank: Ha, we thought this new brain wave of our CBN governor was still in the realm of idea and debate but alas, the Czar has already built ‘his’ bank just like in the Islamic Bank saga. Just a few days back, he advocated for the establishment of this queer bank and as I passed Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos, behold! The Infrastructure Bank, TIB is standing. Say, what about the Urban Development Bank and the Bank of Industry? What about the enabling laws? Are banking (processes) the bane of infrastructure in Nigeria? Is Sanusi not building another bureaucratic infrastructure? Was it the banks that embezzled that N16 billion power project fund? Will TIB be antidote to corruption, lack of transparency and accountability? Will TIB block the conduit pipes in CBN, NNPC, Ministry of Works, etc.? One can raise a thousand questions more for Sanusi but let’s leave it to you the readers.

DIALOGUE

Moving from transaction to transformation A lecture delivered by Ekiti State Governor Dr. Kayode Fayemi at the public presentation of The Nigerian Political Turf: Polity, Politics and Politicians, written by Mobolade Omonijo, on Tuesday, August 7, at The Muson Centre, Onikan-Lagos.

L

ET me express my deep gratitude for the privilege of addressing this special audience on the occasion of the public presentation of Mobolade Omonijo’s book, The Nigerian Political Turf: Polity, Politics, Politicians. When I first saw the title of the book, it reminded me so much of a similarly titled book by the late James Ajibola Ige (aka Uncle Bola), progressive politician, intellectual par excellence and former Attorney-General of post-military Nigeria. That fascinating book entitled, People, Politics and Politicians of Nigeria: 1940 – 1979, chronicles Uncle Bola’s reflections on the triumphs and travails of Nigerian politics and polity during the period before independence to the resumption of democratic rule in 1979. Written almost twenty years before Mobolade’s book, Uncle Bola’s inimitable and often irreverent style had presaged many of the issues raised in this new book in a prescient manner leaving anyone reading Mobolade’s book with a sense of déjà vu. While it is really not my task to review Bolade Omonijo’s book having been saddled with an altogether different task – that of reflecting on the polity, politics and politicians from the perspective of an “active participant” as he put it in his invitation letter, it would nevertheless be remiss of me not to comment on the timeliness and timelessness of the book at a time that many continue to worry about the Nigeria project. As a journalist of repute, experience and exposure, Mr Omonijo has done a brilliant job of placing the people, citizens at the centre of this retrospective assessment of his last 25 years in journalism. He highlights important issues like democracy, constitutionalism, poverty and development as well as regional integration. In his own view, fifty years after independence and a century after amalgamation, politics and politicking have still not served the people well. The country is far from being a nation and the polity is in need of thorough restructuring. He underscores the importance of institutions much more than personalities. Especially, institutions that can mediate the relationship between the leaders and the led; relationship between tiers of government; and the electoral process through which leaders are recruited. He paints the polity in the frightening image of the Hobbessian state of nature – nasty, brutish and about to be cut short! Many groan that Nigeria is at another crossroads. For such people, the country only seems to go from crisis to crisis. If truth be told, there seems to be a vibrant industry of ‘Niger-pessimism’. Like most Nigerians, the author appears very cynical about the average Nigerian politician. He is however hopeful about the possibilities the country holds for the future, certain things being in place. The picture of the politician he paints is one of an unconscionable, venal, greedy, corrupt leech feeding off society and one who would seize any opportunity to fleece the people. Whether one agrees with this view of the Nigerian politician or not, very few in our country disagree that the nation is experiencing a ‘leadership challenge.’ Nigerians mistrust and distrust their leaders – whether they are politicians, captains of industry, faith based clerics, media watch-

dogs or civil society activists. I suppose as an active participant who has been asked to reflect on current challenges in the polity, my task is not to bemoan the fate of our troubled institutions in the polity. It is to proffer, in so far as my experience can take me, what should be done about the critical problems highlighted in Mr Omonijo’s book and outline how we must work expeditiously towards their resolutions. A progressive participant-observer in my view would want to call attention to what must be done to increase the population of those who access power with a view to serving the people and launching the country on an irreversible path of development. He would want to reflect, for example, on what is the place of values in politics? How can transactional politics be replaced by transformational leadership? How should institutions of state be strengthened to ensure effective checks and balances? What should be done to promote internal democracy in political parties? How should leaders and the led - work together? What systems and processes should be put in place for genuine empowerment of the citizens towards the attainment of full rights? In short, how can excellence become the habit in our beleaguered nation? As for the polity, the question that many continue to pose will have to be answered with all its attendant ramifications if we are to respond to Mr Omonijo’s thought provoking treatise. I agree with Mr Omonijo that many of the internal contradictions of the Nigerian state have been sharpened to a point that the bare bones are now visible. The failure to address the national (ity) question in an inclusive manner is evident in the varied responses across country to conflicts over identity, nationality, self-determination and autonomy. These issues are, in turn, bound up with such questions as what manner of federation do Nigerians want? Unlike in the past when government has always decreed issues like religion, autonomy and resource control as constitutional “no-go areas”, Nigerians are now forcing these issues in the open and the hitherto authoritarian might of the federal centre is being put to test. What is this nation called Nigeria? What does it mean to be Nigerian? How do we manage diversity and difference in a multi-ethnic, multifaith polity? These were some of the questions that we avoided in the events leading up to May 29 1999 in the desperation for anything but the military. As a participant-observer equally troubled and concerned by these untoward developments in the polity, I have attempted to reflect on these questions as they affect the polity and its politicians. Of course, as someone who was on the outside looking in and now an active participant on the inside undertaking self-introspection, I know how tempting it is for those on the outside, particularly my friends in the fourth estate to assume a moral high ground. They are irrepressible in the belief that the politicians are the problem. I also know that politicians see themselves as reflections of their milieu which often compel them to act in a Jekyll and Hyde dual mode – on the one hand, charismatic, visionary, caring, fascinating and sophisticated, and

on the other, repulsive, cynical, calculating, corrupt, venal and opportunistic. My own interest is really not to indulge in any deep philosophical or academic arguments about the distinctions between transactional politics and transformational leadership - many of which you are familiar with but to simply explore the necessity for citizens’ engagement in a democracy. I also want to underscore the importance of accountability to the citizens by those elected to serve them. It is my own conviction that where there is no active civil society engagement, there can be no responsible and responsive political society. Such a State runs the risk of decay and illegitimacy. I intend to argue based on my experience that politics – properly conducted - is a form of social activism and another stage in the struggle to restore the dignity of humankind. It is an integrated continuum rather than discretely compartmentalised oppositional phenomena, often complicated and contradictory, but mostly in the quest to make a fundamental difference. This is perhaps why the issue should not be one for politicians or non-politicians, but the extent to which we are able to achieve citizen participation in our democracy. The issue of leadership – particularly how we conceptualise leadership is central to the discourse. In my view, our discussion should really focus more on the making of leaders and citizens in a good society because without direct citizen participation, the legitimacy of our political institutions will continue to decline. It is for this reason that I strongly believe that leaders – be they politicians or non-politicians should worry because their ability to lead effectively is being seriously undermined by the desertion of average citizens from the public space, deepening the

crisis of legitimacy in the country. Yet, this lack of legitimacy cuts both ways. When we the people withdraw our trust in leaders or discountenance politicians, we make our democratic institutions less effective and risk making ourselves ungovernable. For too long, our political culture has perpetuated the myth that strong leaders can bring about change singlehandedly – rather than convert the formal authority derived from legitimate electoral mandate into a process of democratic renewal. The myth of the heroic and charismatic leader dominates the literature on leadership. After all, to lead in Greek and Latin was originally a military term meaning a “General of soldiers”. In my own view, real leadership ought to involve motivating people to solve problems within their own communities, rather than reinforcing the over-lordship of the state on citizens. It is to build as well as strengthen political institutions that can mediate between individual and group interests, between human and peoples’ rights. Joseph Nye, jr, the Dean of Harvard’s John Kennedy’s School of Government who coined the term ‘soft power’, define leaders as ‘those who help a group create and achieve shared goals.1 The authoritarian residues of politics continue to see leaders as magicians with all the answers to societal problems – hence the immeasurable disappointment when they fail to leave up to this exaggerated expectations. The main challenge in my view therefore is both a psychological and a contextual one and it centres on deemphasising superficial and unearned notions of heroic leadership by reconnecting democratic choices with people’s day-to-day experience and to extend democratic principles to everyday situations in citizens’ communities and constituencies.

This is the reason why leadership must be mediated by the context of power and political structure. What do I mean by this? Many will recall that at the commencement of the current political dispensation in 1999, many were of the view that the path we were treading was one of transition without transformation.2 We argued severally that it was wrong to suggest that any opening after Nigeria’s prolonged authoritarian rule was inherently irreversible and would lead to the deepening of democracy without interrogating the nature of the opening itself. We felt at the time that we needed to think more carefully about the implications of what we considered to be a stagedmanaged and guided democratic transition because even if Ali Baba was dead, the forty thieves were still very much around, especially in a setting where the authoritarian ethos, language, and character of command and control of public discourse remained in place. Looking back, we may have been correct to be cautious about embracing the military transition of 1999, but I now believe we were tactically wrong for completely eschewing participation in politics. The fact that the military had not responded to a full-scale defeat by the democracy movement could hardly be discounted in understanding the nature of post-military governance. The eventual dominance of the party hierarchy by retired military generals and civilians closely connected to them certainly set the tone for party formation and also resulted in authoritarian presidential governance particularly under President Obasanjo. Essentially, the outcome of that particular phase of the transition ensured a mere reconfiguration of the political space, rather than guarantee transformative leadership. Yet, even with all of this, we could have started the process of organising along political lines, rather than agonising about the militarised nature of power and leadership. After all, we (journalists and activists alike) were the ones who risked our lives to fight for the restoration of democracy in Nigeria – only to vacate the space when power was literally lying on the streets. So, we ended up with a democracy with pseudo-democrats and yet we are worried about the low quality of our democracy and deficits in governance. For the majority of our citizens – democracy was supposed to bring the end of military dictatorship in form and content; they hoped that it would bring greater involvement of ordinary people in politics, whether in the federal, state and local institutions or even in civil society ones. They hoped for real and immediate dividends in employment, clean water, affordable shelter, accessible health care, improved education, reliable and consistent power supply, rehabilitated roads and food on the table. While we generally enjoy a qualitative air of freedom in the last decade, there is still despair, despondency and disillusionment about material dividends of this democracy. Democracy is not an abstract concept to the ordinary people. Indeed, they do not value democracy any less than their elite compatriots. But they want democracy to be relevant to their lives in a concrete and fundamental manner. If democracy is not capable of wiping out poverty, curbing corruption, guaranteeing transparency and improving people’s well being and quality of life, it is at best an empty concept, at worst a sham to many. Poverty and despair, oppression and humiliation, economic and social insecurities are breeding grounds – even if not the only reasons – for violence and conflict. As much as Nigerians want democracy, they also want to see concrete evidence of democracy making a difference in their lives and not just in an instrumentalist sense of embracing freedom. These are, however, not challenges charismatic politicians or heroic leaders are able to resolve on their own without a careful consideration of the context of the issues. It is for this reason that those who want to re-draw the map of Nigeria’s future for the better must return to more solid grounds To be continued

They described him in superlative terms. “A human angle reporter”; “Best headline caster,” and more. These were some of the epithets used for Mike Awoyinfa, former Managing Director of The Sun who marked his 60th birthday in Lagos on Sunday. NNEKA NWANERI writes.

RIENDS and colleagues gathered to celebrate Mr Mike Awoyinfa, former Managing Director of The Sun, who turned 60 last week. Awoyinfa and his soulmate, Dimgba Igwe made their names as editor and deputy editor of the defunct Weekend Concord. They were well turned out. Women wore gowns with beautiful hairstyles, flowing down their necklines. The men too were not left out. Many of the guests were those who matter in journalism. In attendance were former Ogun State governor, Segun Osoba and wife Derin; former Managing Director of The Concord newspapers, Dr Doyin Abiola; Lagos State Commissioner for The Environment, Tunji Bello and his Information counterpart, Lateef Ibirogba; Senator Babafemi Ojudu; Delta State Commissioner for Information, Hon Chike Ogeah; Managing Director of The Sun, Mr Tony Onyima; Publisher of City People Mr Seye Kehinde; President, Nigerian Guild of Editors, Mr Gbenga Adefaye; Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Chief Dele Momodu; Editorial Board Chairmen of The Nation and The Sun, Mr Sam Omatseye and Dr Amanze Obi; Editor of Sunday Sun, Mrs Funke Egbemode; Managing Director of ThisDay, Mr Eniola Bello; Publisher of City Pride Magazine, Mr Joseph Okolo; Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa; representative of the governor of Osun State and his Special Adviser on Lagos Matters, Mr Dele Ogunshakin; Commissioner for Information and Strategy Hon Funminiyi Afuye who represented Ekiti State governor; Tokunbo Awolowo- Dosunmu; ace broad-

The editors’ Editor at 60 caster Bisi Olatilo; Dr Yemi Ogunbiyi; Special Adviser to Lagos State governor on Taxation Bola Shodipe and that of Media and Publicity, Hon Hakeem Bello; Bishop Humprey Erumaka; representative of Kwara State governor, Mr Raheem Adedoyin; Publisher of Complete Sports, Dr Sunny Ojagbese; Managing Director of The News Mr Bayo Onanuga; Editor, PM news, Mr Kunle Ajibade; representative of Aliko Dangote, Taiye Ayeni; Pastor Tafawa Balewa, among others. They not only came to celebrate, but also to discuss issues affecting the country. It was fun all the way with Elenu, the Master of Ceremony, who cracked jokes. The event rolled late into the night with some standing as all seats were occupied. One after the other, the ‘birthday boy’ was eulogised. Even Osoba, who chaired the occasion, rose and spoke with pride of Awoyinfa. “Mike is a very passionate human angle reporter. He is very ruthless and daring and has no respect for stories. He and his twin brother can squeeze water out of stone, and it will still be very factual and true.

Such is the man I know, of great intellect and, indeed, a man after my character.” The best was saved for the last. His ‘twin brother’ and Associate Publisher of Entertainment Express, Dimgba Igwe just before he gave the toast of his friend of many years, described him as one who is very dedicated to his profession. “We are democrats at heart and from his failure; you can see the biography of his success. Born in 1952 in Takwa, Ghana, he attended Kwame Nkrumah Secondary School. In 1969, he left Ghana when the government ordered Nigerians out. “He is the best headline caster in the world: His is very creative, memorable and fantastic. “I remember a day he fell and passed out, while trying to take a picture of me in Paris just because he was trying to save his camera. He offered his life for the pictures he took. That shows the extent to which he is committed to the profession. “He always has a tape recorder and that is why his trousers always tear from the pocket. He is ever ready to interview anybody, even his son.

“His greatest heroes were Dele Giwa and afterwards Sir Harold Devans - the old Editor of Sunday Times of London,” Igwe said. Dr Abiola recalled how Awoyinfa transformed the Saturday Concord making it the best selling paper in the country then. “Those were some of the brightest moments for me as MD and his character and precedence speak for him,” she said. Thanking him for doing her proud, she attested that she was proud to be one of them (journalists). “I doff my hat to you all”, she said. To Awoyinfa: “I know Bashorun MKO Abiola will be happy looking down on you. He was always proud of you.” Governor Fashola, in a tribute, wished him many more years of literary excellence. Chief Tola Adeniyi said: “I was intrigued by the enthusiasm and passion in him. As the initiator of human interest journalism in Nigeria, he has, indeed, blazed the trail.” Bishop Erumaka, who went down memory lane, recalled that the duos were his supervisors. “They have both remained humble, pure and real.” The Bishop added some prayers for the ‘birthday boy’. Bashorun Momodu acclaimed: “What can I say of a man who Evangelist Ebenezer Obey released a song for? He is a ‘chief’. Yes, he is. If the president does not honour him, we have to honour our own. A successor without successors is a waste. These twins have produced good reporters, good editors, and publishers.”

For ex-perm sec, a Diamond Jubilee For Dr Titilayo Anibaba, it was a two-in one celebration. Her 60th birthday and send off as Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of the Environment held at the 10 degree Events Centre, Oregun, Ikeja. AMIDU ARIJE AND OLATUNDE ODEBIYI report. FTER serving her state diligently, it was time to bow out for Dr Titilayo Anibaba, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of The Environment (MoE) last Friday. It was a two-in-one celebration for her - a birthday and a sendoff. Mrs Anibaba started as a teacher at Government College, Ikorodu before joining the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi (FIIRO) as a Research Officer. She rose to Chief Research Officer. She worked briefly at the Lagos State Environmental and Protection Agency (LASEPA) under the Ministry of The Environment before her transfer to the Ministry where she spent four years as the Permanent Secretary. The event marking her birthday and retirement was preceded by thanksgiving at Transformation City Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. The service began with songs of praise. In his sermon, Pastor Onadele Akintunde said the life of Mrs Anibaba is worth celebrating because of the good things she has done for the state, her family and community. Mrs Anibaba, he said, “is a woman who serves God in spirit and in truth. She is a woman of God, dedicated and committed to the service of God and humanity”. The celebrator mounted the podium to read some Bible verses. She glorified God for keeping her alive and in good health all these years. After the service, the reception followed at the same venue. It was anchored by Mr Tunde Adewale. A live band, the Faith Music, led by Ayo Ajekigbe entertained the guests. The band sang the praises of the celebrator and her guests. Mrs Anibaba radiated joy as she took to the dance floor. She was joined by her husband, family members and well-wishers. The cutting of the cake was supervised by former Lagos State Deputy Governor Princess Sarah Sosan. Proposing her toast, former Ogun State governor, Col Daniel Akintande prayed for prosperity and long life for the celebrator. He described her as diligent and hard working. Mrs Anibaba’s former boss Dr Muiz Banire described her as a diligent woman good at relating with people. “She is very diligent and very good at relating with people; she treats people very well and God has given her an unusual strength. She is diligent, resourceful and would be greatly missed in the Ministry of The Environment,” he said. Anibaba, Banire said, never failed in the discharge of her duties.

“She is always willing and ever ready to move the Ministry to greater heights. She is simple, humble, unassuming and down to earth. She is highly impactful and has added in no small measure to the new face of Lagos in terms of sanitation, operation green Lagos, pollution control, climate change issues and capacity building for officers,” he added. Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Civil Service Commission, Eniola Yanwuren, described Mrs Anibaba as “intelligent, simple, focused, always willing and ready to help. It is highly commendable that Anibaba achieved great in academic and career, it’s all about self sacrifice to get to the top. “Mrs Anibaba is God-fearing, de-

voted to God, family and her work. She is excellent in her performances and, indeed, a wonderful friend,” she said. Permanent Secretary, Ministry of the Environment (Office of Drainage Services), Mr Muyideen Akinsanya, described the celebrator as an efficient officer who discharged her duties effectively and effortlessly. Mrs Anibaba, he said, showed a lot of commitment in working towards achieving government’s objectives. She brought into reality the dream of publicity, education and campaign on climate changes. He wished her a brighter and better future. Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola said Mrs Anibaba truly epito-

mised the passion for service that the state public service now offers. “She acted with diligence, selflessness and leadership at all times going beyond the call of duty often times without complaint. “Dr. Anibaba is dedicated to duty and, undoubtedly, is the most commendable as her most remarkable traits are integrity and her extremely pleasant and quietly efficient disposition,” Fashola wrote. The celebrator’s husband, a former Commissioner for the Environment, Mr Olukayode Anibaba, described the celebrator as quiet, soft spoken, brilliant and unassuming; a woman worthy of emulation and pride to the people. “Titi is a bold, focused, independent and friendly person. She is a pace-

setter who is ever ready to face challenges believing that she would come out victorious. She is a woman of strong heart,” Mr Anibaba said. Among the dignitaries at the ceremony are the Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Works, Ganiyu Johnson; National Publicity Secretary of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Alhaji Lai Muhammed; Lagos State Commissioner for Education, Mrs Olayinka Oladunjoye; her Pension and Training counterpart Mrs Florence Oguntuase; former Commissioner for Health Dr Leke Pitan; Mrs Kemi Nelson; the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, represented by Prince Adeyemi Olusi.

Vol 4. No. 1761

Although it is only nine years old, Gulder Ultimate Search is almost as rich in history as Gulder, its mother brand, which hit the market in 1970. In this report, JIMI DAVID examines the import of adopting the social media to build the brand.

Gulder Ultimate Search 9: How to build G brand with social media

ULDER’S affinity with sports is legendary. The beer’s advertisement was visible on selected programmes beaming this year’s African Cup of Nations held in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, on the TV networks. The company is also a major sponsor of some TV and radio sports programmes and, in fact, has consistently promoted grassroots football through Gulder Ultimate Five - A Side Football (GUFAF), a brand activation campaign. The third edition of the programme ended in June. The Coach of Super Falcons, Nigeria’s female football team, Kadiri Ikhana, praised Gulder for its support for Enyimba Football Club of Aba’s victory at the 2004 edition of the Confederation of African Football’s Champions’ League football competition. At the briefing announcing GUFAF 3 earlier this year, Ikhana noted that Gulder beer’s support for Enyimba FC, when he was coach of the club, was invaluable to the team’s emergence as African champions in 2004. The club was the first to attain that feat. Victor Ikpeba, Peter Rufai and Henry Nwosu are among ex-internationals, who are calling on Gulder to consider supporting local clubs in their quest for continental glory. However, the Gulder Ultimate Search is much more popular. The reality TV show holds the enviable

record of being the first 100 per cent locally produced reality TV show in Nigeria. The very first edition was held on Snake Island, Lagos, in 2004. Ever since that first edition, subsequent editions have been staged in different forests in Nigeria. In 2005, GUS was held at Obudu Hills, Calabar, Cross River State while the 2006 edition was held at the Nigerian Institute for Oil Palm Research (NIFOR), Edo State. In 2007, the show moved to Shere hills, Jos, Plateau State. The popular Agwu Hills in Enugu State hosted the 2008 edition. In 2009 and 2010, GUS was held in Omodo forest, in Osun State and J4, Omo Forest, Ogun State. Last year, Edo became the first state to host GUS twice. GUS 8 was held at the Egbetua Quarters, Ososo Hill, Akoko Edo. Last year, too, Gulder Ultimate Search for the first time introduced audience input on the show. Viewers were allowed

to vote back in an already evicted contestant from each of the three batches. This year, the brand appears to have kicked off consumer interactivity, even before the official kick off on the show. Gulder recently launched a campaign on its FaceBook page and on the Gulder Ultimate Search website. Fans were required to choose three of their favourite contestants who have emerged champions in the show’s eight seasons. They are also to choose which of the show anchors have impressed them till date; while also indicating which of the eight seasons has been their best so far. Past champions are: Ezeugo Ewuagwu (2004), Luncan Chambliss (2005), Hector Joberteh (2006), Dominic Mudabai (2007), Michael Nwachukwu (2008), Uche Nwaezeapu (2009), Oyekunle Oluwaremi (2010) and Christopher Okagbue (2011). Individuals that have anchored Gulder Ultimate

Search from inception till date are: Chidi Mokeme, an actor, who anchored the first two seasons (2004 and 2005); Austin ‘Tintin’ Imevbore, a former on-air personality, who anchored Season 3 (2006) and Bob Manuel Udokwu has been the show anchor for the past five seasons (2007 – 2011). Dare ArtAlade co-anchored Season 8, which was held in 2011, with Bob Manuel Udokwu. It is clear from the website that Gulder Ultimate Search will officially break soon. If the intention of Gulder is to create excitement and rev up followership for the show, using social media, the strategy is working. The Gulder brand celebrated amassing 50,000 fans on its FaceBook fan page. A week later, the figure stands at over 56,000. The rise in figures is arguably traced to the brand’s utilisation of social media as a consumer interactivity platform. Gulder has also taken to Twitter with increasing number of tweets

‘However, the Gulder Ultimate Search is much more popular. The reality TV show holds the enviable record of being the first 100 per cent locally produced reality TV show in Nigeria. The very first edition was held on Snake Island, Lagos, in 2004’

and followers. The consumers’ response to indicate their past three champions of choice was overwhelming. According to the Gulder Nigeria FaceBook page and Gulder Ultimate Search website, Dominic Mudabai, 2007 Champion, Michael Nwachukwu, 2008 winner and Christopher Okagbue, Ultimate Man for 2011 were chosen by viewers as their favourite of the eight winners to have emerged so far. These past three winners are referred to as “Gatekeepers”. Even though Gulder Ultimate Search has perfected the art of keeping viewers in suspense and guessing what actions may occur next, they may have given away the roles which these may play in this year’s edition. They may return as “Gatekeepers” on Gulder Ultimate Search. The website still remains silent on viewers’ choice of their preferred show anchor and location. Will the viewers’ choice of show anchor be engaged to be the Gulder Ultimate Search Task Master? What about their choice about the best Gulder Ultimate Search season so far? Will the tasks of that particular season be enacted? Or will the brand decide to stage this year’s edition at the location? The answers appear shrouded in secrecy in vintage Gulder Ultimate Search style. But sooner than later, all questions will be answered.

Speaking on the theme: Business process outsourcing: The new frontier, Balogun said Africa unlike three decades ago when Africa was seen as a “continent of despair”, the continent is on a new trajectory as the second fastest growing region in the last 10 years to 2010 with seven of the world’s 10 fastest growing na-

Beyond colours and logos

B

RANDING is a critical part of any business that would survive the struggle of tight competition. That makes it a major priority on the to-do list of most firms and organisations. Earlier, branding was about colours and logos. But not any more. The challenge of standing out and making products or services more connected to consumers has grown beyond the regular colour-logo affair. “What’s branding?” Brand masters conclude that branding is a set of associations that a person or group of people makes with a company, product, service, individual or organisation,” he said. These associations maybe intentional; that is, they may be actively promoted via marketing and corporate identity. The perception formed through branding is aimed at harnessing, generating, influencing and con-

trolling these associations to help them perform better. Any organisation can benefit by creating a brand that presents it as distinctive. An indigenous brand master Sola Abati defines brand as: “A promise made and hopefully kept.” This means when a consumer comes in contact with a product or brand, first, he considers what the company or product has to offer. This promise is what likely touches the consumers’interests and, eventually, get them stuck to it provided the promises made are kept. The first thing to consider in brand building is the creation of values, cultures and philosophies that mirror the companies’, organisations’, businesses’ or products’ ideals. Keeping to these ideals is another major factor that contributes to building a better and convincing brand.

“Seven of the top 10 fastest growing economies in the world are in Sub-Saharan Africa,” Balogun said. “While the population will most likely break the one billion barrier by 2020, the region will be as urbanised as China is today by that time and 40 per cent wealthier as well. This means the prospects for businesses is immense.” He noted that Nigeria has the natural comparative advantage, with the technology and the human capital necessary to make the country an outsourcing haven like China and India. The Managing Director, Resource Intermediaries Limited, Soji Oyawoye, said the event was organised to give businesses a new lease of life by showing the merits of

outsourcing. According to him, “many Nigerian businesses die within a maximum of 15 years as against minimum 40 years for a business to be termed a legacy business. This is largely because the businesses dabble into many areas that ought to be outsourced for which they do not possess any specialty. “Outsourcing enables such businesses to focus on their core areas of strength and outsource areas that can be best handled by someone else.” One of the participants, Wole Osho, a business developer, said he was better informed about the benefits of outsourcing and the parameters with which to judge the performance of outsourcing part-

ners. He said: “Pricing is usually used to judge if a business should outsource or not, but you must have other parameters as well, like the added value the outsourcing partners give the business and the level of expertise and professionalism they bring to the job. Also, this summit gives business managers a chance to network and see other areas for collaboration.” According to the association, it aims to promote Nigeria as a competitive alternative to other global outsourcing destinations and to increase service delivery, quality and volume under recognised standards. Coca-Cola Nigeria is a good example of a company that has embraced outsourcing as a management business practice with proven success, the group added.

Star hosts customers • New look Star gets kudos

S

TAR, the premium lager brand from the stable of Nigerian Breweries PLC, has hosted customers at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos. At the event were Tuface Idibia, D’banj, MI, Wizkid and Tiwa Savage. The firm’s Marketing Director, Walter Drenth, said superior product quality has been the driving force of Star. He added that consumers have come to trust the brand because of its consistent quality. The brand has the heritage of being brewed under strict quality standards since 1949 and the consumer promise remains uncompromised. Another factor is its strong distribution network. The brand has a very strong distribution footprint, which spans Nigeria. It is, therefore, not by accident that the ever-refreshing Star is available in the country and is within the reach of consumers, he said. Observers say Star has maintained a message of bringing “brightness” to its consumers. This is always reflected in its campaigns. Drenth stressed that another factor that adds to Star’s equity is the fact that it has one of the best communications.This communication has been consistent over the years. Again, this does not happen by accident. It is a well-thought out process that has made the brand young and fresh despite the fact that it has been around for 63 years. Star is one of the best brands in Nigeria. He recalled that right from the beginning, the brand made a strong statement, from the first campaign slogan of “Ah! Star – Beer at its best” introduced in 1949 through the “Brightness” campaign of the 1970s/ 80s, to the “Turn to Star – The ideal brew” campaign, unveiled in 1989,

to the “Live the Brighter Life In Style – Star Ahead on Taste” campaign of the 1990’s and then to the campaigns of “Never A Dull Moment with Star”, “Share the Brighter Life”, “Shine Shine Bobo” and “Let’s get the party STARted”, it is clear that the advertising campaign development history of Star has been consistent in creating a mythical halo for the brand. The rave-making campaign that heralded the STAR Bottle change in 2000 is still fresh in the mind of consumers. The ‘Star Dance’ and Shine Shine Bobo are equally award winning materials. After the re-launch, which attracted more than 6,000 consumers, accolades has been pouring in from consumers about the new look of the product. While applauding the new look, consumers testify to the fact that patronage of Nigeria’s oldest beer is on the increase. One of such consumers is Bunmi Aladejobi, a lawyer, who resides in Lagos said: “I can bet it that Star is the highest selling beer in Nigeria. My survey was re-confirmed after the re-launch. “On a visit to any bar, you can’t see a table where friends gathered to drink and have nice time without at least three bottles of star lager. The new look is the talk of the town, to me we have two beer in this country, star lager and others.” A trader in Port Harcourt, Kelechi Nnaji, claimed that Star lager beer is like the green passport that identifies you as a Nigerian. “You can’t claim to live in Nigeria and you don’t know Star lager beer. I raise my hat for the re-launch. The new look is a creative design that can’t be ignore. I usually tell my friends that with this new packaging. If you not drinking star lager beer, you are missing something really great.” Kelechi said.

For many shop owners in London, the Olympics appear not good for business. Since the game started about two weeks ago, shoppers have not been patronising retail outlets. It seems they are staying away because of the fear of overcrowding, according to report sourced from the Internet.

London Olympics: Where are the shoppers?

S

INCE the Olympics started, shopping has taken a back seat. Only a few shoppers are sighted at retail outlets, leaving shop owners wondering what has befallen them. Could it be that the shoppers are watching the games? No, that is far from it. So, what could be the cause? According to retail analysts, shoppers are put off by concerns about overcrowding. Shops in central London saw a sharp drop in visitors at the start of the Olympic Games, figures have suggested. The number of people going to stores before the opening of the game was 10.4 per cent lower than a year ago, said research group Experian. It added that customer footfall levels were 11.7 per cent down on Saturday. The analysts said the figures were not surprising due to fears of overcrowding, but that the situation would soon return to normal. Neil Saunders, managing director of Conlumino, said: “The figures are not surprising at all. There has been a lot of nervousness about whether London’s transport system could cope with the number of Olympic visitors, and concerns about overcrowding in the capital in general. “This has deterred a lot of people from going shopping, and is a bit of a warning that the Olympics may not be the saviour for retailers.

“However, we’ll most likely see a quick return to shopping levels in central London as soon as the games are over, or even before, as people realise that the capital is far from struggling to cope.” The Experian data, which measures the number of people visiting shops, not how much money they spend, also showed that customer footfall in central London recovered slightly on Sunday, up 1.6 per cent from a year earlier. Although the Olympic Stadium is located in east London, on Saturday, the men’s cycling road race started and finished on The Mall in central London, with the women’s race taking place the following day. Experian is yet to release figures. Transport for London said the number of people making tube journeys were four per cent higher, buoyed by the number of people going to the equestrian event in Greenwich. Jace Tyrrell, director of Communications at the New West End Company, which represents shops in Bond Street, Oxford Street and Regent Street in central London, said that some Londoners appeared to be staying away. He added: “At the same time, the Olympic family - officials, sponsors and the media - are going shopping as well as to the games. And these are people that spend more than the average UK shopper. “Also you need to take a longer term view -

London is now being seen by the billions of people around the world who are watching the Olympics.” However, one trader on Oxford Street, stallholder Vicky Munro, said her trading was currently a “complete disaster” because of the Olympics. She added: “The tourists are not here, the local people are not here - everyone has been told to avoid central London, and they are doing it.” Experian’s footfall figures for east London, where the Olympic Stadium is located in Stratford, showed that the number of shoppers in that part of the capital fell by 7.2 per cent on Friday from a year ago, and by 7.5 per cent on Saturday, before increasing 12.6 per cent on Sunday. Outside of London, shop owners in Weymouth, Dorset, which is hosting Olympic sailing events, have complained of reduced numbers of shoppers also. Tourist attractions in central London also saw reduced visitor numbers over the weekend, according to the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions has said. Its chief executive Bernard Donoghue said visitor numbers were between 30 per cent and 35 per cent lower. He said this was “partly because the kind of visitor you get during an Olympic year is dif-

ferent to any normal year, and it is also partly because people think it is going to be crowded and hectic in central London”. Hoteliers across the capital have also complained about reduced occupancy levels. Satbir Bakshi, owner of Hotel Earls Court, told the BBC: “Everyone was expecting big, big bonanzas, but this is the worst I have seen in 30 years. “The Olympics was all hyped up, and every hotel - including mine - put their prices up. “But with a week to go before the start of the games, I had to put my prices back down again. Like everyone else I’m only half full. Normally, I’m full at this time of the year.” Travel industry commentator Mike Bugsgang, said despite any current problems, the Olympics would give the London tourism sector a major boost in future years. “The brilliant opening ceremony watched by millions around the world will undoubtedly help to put London on the ‘must visit’ list by overseas tourists in the years to come,” he said. “This fact together with the outstanding television coverage of games events showing historic London landmarks such as Greenwich, Buckingham Palace, Hampton Court etc will play a major part in attracting tourists and their much needed spend to Britain in the future.”

HOSE with the knowledge to make the right window or door replacement decision for their homes can easily make their abodes more beautiful, comfortable and energy efficient. Windows made from composite materials can be a good option for home owners who, like the look and strength of wood windows, but also want the low-maintenance features of vinyl. Because of their unique blend of materials, composite windows do not need constant painting to maintain their natural beauty, thereby, saving time and money. The new generation of low-maintenance glass helps to reduce dirt and water spots on the exterior of the window and door when activated by sunlight making the view better and cleaning easier. Frames with energy saving are more beneficial. Quality installation and warrant is a critical component of any successful frame replacement. Even the highest quality frame will under-perform if installed incorrectly. Different types of window and door frames available are: The hopper frame, awning frame, tilt and slide frame, tilt and turn frame, transom frame, Jalousie frame, wood frame, vinyl frame, composite frame, Clerestory frame etc. A window big enough and low enough so that occupants can escape through the opening in an emergency, such as a fire, is made with the emergency exit frame. Some frames are flat or sloppy and are used to make day lighting windows. They are built into a roof structure and are out of reach. Oriel frame is with many panels, it projects from the wall and does not extend to the ground. The thermal or Diocletian frames are usually divided into three compartments and the central compartment is often wider than the two sides. Fixed windows do not allow for ventilation. They are used in situations where light or vision alone is needed. It cannot be opened, its function is limited to allowing light enter into the room. It is often fixed unlike the unfixed, which can be opened and closed. A stained door and window frame, such that is made of glass strictly depicts biblical scenes in churches. They are specially

used in churches because of their biblical significance. Wooden frames give architectural beauty to a building and are most easy to maintain. They are the most popular choice for construction of doors and windows. There are many types, according to their quality. The type of wood used is according to the requirement of the building and availability of the budget. These days aluminum doors and window frames are mostly used in commercial places, office complexes, high class buildings to give architectural view and enhance beauty. These frames give beautiful looks, require no painting and have less maintenance cost. They are also free from termite attack and rust. Iron frames in door and windows are used in low cost buildings. These frames are safe from termite attack. The three types available are angle iron door frame, iron door frame and pressed steel door frame. Some places where the window and door frames can be got are: Safety Custodian Company on Isheri road, Ojodu, Lagos; Actel Nigeria Limited Osolo way, Lagos; Eurolux security/luxury doors, Africa lane, off Admiralty road, Lekki; Swisstrad Nigeria Limited, Km 14, LekkiEpe; Nisec Hitech Training Services, Baba Yusuf Close, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.

No one is fooled, and loose clothes often make you appear wider or heavier. Avoid tight clothing that will emphasise your heavy areas. Choose softly tailored pieces that define but do not constrain. Steer clear of horizontal stripes, which make you appear wider, but consider vertical stripes, which make you look longer and leaner.

Challenges to governance in emerging democracies Text of a paper delivered by Chief Wole Olanipekun, SAN, FCIarb, during the 50th anniversary celebration of the Faculty of Law, University of Lagos (UNILAG) on July 26, 2012, in the school’s auditorium. • Continued from Tuesday Democracy

W

E often return to the Greeks in relation to democratic governance, or, more broadly, systems of delibera tive governance. The idea of democracy came from the ancient Greeks, who combined the words demos (people) and krates (rule) to create the term. Athens was the first citystate to allow ordinary citizens access to offices and courts. From the limited form of democracy that was practised at the time, democracy has since metamorphosed through various phases and models, engendered mainly by the emergence and dominance of the Christian faith in the middle-ages, which taught that all men were created equal. Remarkable watersheds in the history of democracy include the French Revolution, the famous rebellion against King John, which resulted in the issuance of the Magna Carta and the American Revolution. These events have culminated in the extinction of feudalism and emergence of republics and liberal or constitutional democracies as we know them today. Democratic nation-states have now become the standard form of human society. I have had cause to explain ‘Democracy’ in the following words: “The common definition of democracy is that it is the government of the people by the people and for the people. This definition is of universal applicability and acceptability. Both the mighty and the lowly make it their anthem. This notwithstanding, it can also be argued that the term ‘democracy’ may not lend itself to an easy definition, as it has been ascribed different meanings and interpretations, depending on the background, education and circumstances of its application. The Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary 6th Edition defines democracy as “a system of government in which all the people of a country can vote to elect their representatives”; “fair and equal treatment of everyone in an organization and their right to take part in making decisions”. According to Thomas Jefferson, “Democracy is cumbersome, slow and inefficient, but is due in time. The voice of the people will be heard and their latent wisdom will prevail.” The same Thomas Jefferson in a speech delivered in Maryland in 1809 said that “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good governance.”Plato in his “The Republic” says, “Democracy is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a kind of quality to equals and in equals alike.” One basic truism that permeates each of these definitions or any definition of democracy for that matter is that if truly analyzed and practised, it (democracy) should be a government in which the people through elections freely choose those who will represent and govern them well.” In Africa, the road to democracy has been an undulating and fluctuating one, punctuated by colonization and (de)colonisation, civil wars, military coups, rise and fall of tyrants, election violence, and flawed elections to mention a few highlights of our chequered history. While the benefits of democracy are believed generally to outweigh its pitfalls, in Africa, many are still waiting to start reaping the much hackneyed ‘dividends of democracy.’ The Democracy Index[9] categorized countries practicing democracies into full democracies, flawed democracies, hybrid regimes and authoritarian regimes. According to the 2010 index, 11.3 percent of the population of the 167 countries surveyed, fall within countries with full democracies, 37.1 percent fall within flawed democracies, 14.0 percent fall within hybrid regimes, while 37.6 percent fall within the category of authoritarian regimes. Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East and North African regions rank the bottom of the list on the Index. This evidences the slow rate of growth and development of democracy in the African continent.

Emerging democracies Another important term is the word ‘emerging’. The Chambers Dictionary[10] defines emerging as ‘developing; becoming important.’ Emerging democracies are democracies in their evolution or developing stages. The United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF)[11] sees emerging democracies as countries with a history of autocratic rule or civil unrest which have a purposeful process of democratisation albeit with weak and inexperienced institutions. In the spirit of simplicity and plainness of speech, I would define emerging democracies as countries that are yet to find a ‘working-formula’ for democracy. There are currently seven emerging democracies in sub-Sahara Africa and these are Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central Africa Republic, Guinea, Kenya, Mozambique and Nigeria. Also, the self declared, breakaway Republic of Somalia is also considered as an emerging democracy though not internationally recognised. As I said earlier, without being pretentious, these ‘so-called’ emerging democracies are countries where democracy has not worked yet. Better still, countries where the dividends of democracy are still being expected. Nigeria epitomises the African emerging democracy. I will therefore use Nigeria as a focal point. Having emerged from the dark ages of military rule, interjected by short intervals of attempts at democratic governance, we have since 1999 enjoyed an unbroken period of democratic government with relatively successful transitions from one government to the other. While we are all relieved to have come out alive from the draconian and totalitarian grip of the military, we appear not to have been set free indeed. Our democratic experiment, so far, has not been the Utopia that we expected it to be. In my opinion, there would not have been a time more apposite to discuss the crucial topic of the Lecture

•Chief Olanipekun

It is thus incontestable that the Constitution is the fundamental legal framework which governs and regulates the government. It sets up the organs and institutions of government, regulates the relationship between the organs of government and the governed and establishes rights, duties and obligations both for the government and the governed. Just as is obtainable under the law of contract, parties to the social contract should be able to enforce the rights, duties and obligations arising out of the contract. “Challenges to Governance in Emerging Democracies” than now. I will necessarily touch on some of our challenges shortly. The state of health of the Nigerian democracy appears to be captured by a recent report by the Fund for Peace (FFP), which declared in its 2012 annual Index Data released on 29th June, 2012 that Nigeria ranks among the top 10 failed States in Africa and 14th in the World. Nigeria trails behind Pakistan, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire, Central Africa Republic, Iraq, Yemen and Haiti. One now begins to wonder why a country endowed with so much natural resources and produces up to 2.6 million barrels of crude oil per day and with about 82 million hectares of arable land still ranks amongst the poorest nations in the world. There is a hint in my earlier definition of governance as the exercise of power and control or management of resources to solve common problems and promote the common good. It appears that the problem, whether described as mismanagement, bad or inept leadership is invariably a challenge of governance. This is what I call ‘the Governance Problem.’

The governance problem It is often said that where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable. The relationship between the government or governor and the governed is based on a social contract, where the citizens give a mandate to the government, with incidental powers of management and control, to solve common problems and promote the common good. On both sides, there are obligations, duties and rights. Seventeenth-century philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, propounded the theory of the social contract with a depiction of the life of man in the society. According to him, the life of man in a state of nature was solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. Man had no pleasure in the society, but instead, there was grief as there was no form of control over men able to overawe them and establish order and tranquillity. In the circumstance, men lived in a state of perpetual war and agitation. All men in that state were equal. To alleviate that perpetual state of war and danger, man discovered the first and fundamental law of nature, which is the desire to end the state of war, to seek peace and follow it. Consequently, man entered into a contract to end the state of war through a commonwealth. The essence of the pact was to transfer power to the Sovereign, a man or an assemblage of men – authorizing him to end the state of war and to preserve and protect the common wealth. Hobbes’ abstract theory finds expression in the Nigerian Constitution, where the Preamble provides: “WE THE PEOPLE of the Federal Republic of Nigeria: HAVING firmly and solemnly resolved: TO LIVE in unity and harmony as one indivisible and indissoluble sovereign nation under God dedicated to the promotion of inter-African solidarity, world peace, international

co-operation and understanding: AND TO PROVIDE for a Constitution for the purpose of promoting the good government and welfare of all persons in our country on the principles of Freedom, Equality and Justice, and for the purpose of consolidating the Unity of our people: DO HEREBY MAKE AND GIVE TO OURSELVES the following Constitution:” Section 1 (2) of the Constitution provides “The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall not be governed nor shall any person or group of persons take control of the government of Nigeria or any part thereof, except in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.” Section 4(1) of the Constitution goes ahead on the premise of the foregoing provisions to vest legislative powers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the National Assembly, while section 5(1) vests executive powers of the Federation in the President and section 6(1) vests judicial powers in the Courts. Having established the various arms of government and vesting them with powers the Constitution then turns in Chapter II to provide the purpose of those powers. Particularly, section 14(2)(b) provides: “the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.” To me, the cause of the governance problem or challenge is the attrition of the link between power and purpose. In other words, the breach between the powers vested in sections 4, 5 and 6 and the primary purpose of those powers are stipulated in Chapter II generally, and section 14(2) more particularly. I will come to this (dis)connection shortly. The nature and essence of governmental power is captured in the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case of Nigerian Engineering Works Limited v DENAPS Limited & Anor, where Kalgo JSC held: “… all land in the state is vested in the Governor who shall hold it “in trust and for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians”. From this, it is very clear to me that the powers vested in the Governor by the Act … is a public and not private power, which must be exercised for the use and common benefit of the Nigerian public. The Governor is no doubt the Chief Executive of the State and all powers exercisable by him for and on behalf of the people are necessarily by virtue of his office and are, as such, public acts. In the consolidated suit of A.G of Ogun, Bendel and Borno States v A.G of the Federation & 2Ors ... this court, in considering the provisions of the Public Order Act 1981, and the powers of the Military Administrator thereunder held per Idigbe JSC that ‘Power which is another form of legal right is either public or private. Public powers are those vested in a person as an agent or instrument of the functions of the state.” In the exercise of the powers by the Governor under the Act, the Governor was acting for and on behalf of Nigerians directly under his administration and therefore on behalf of his State Government.” I find these words of the Supreme Court apposite to our discussion, albeit pronounced within the context of powers vested by the Land Use Act, which in any event can be traced to those powers vested by the Constitution. In sum, the government exercises its power as an agent of the people, who are the principals, for the attainment of the fundamental objectives set out in Chapter II of the Constitution. It should ordinarily follow from the trite principles of the law of agency that the government should be held accountable, as fiduciaries, for the exercise of the powers in relation to the provisions of Chapter II. Now, Nigeria operates a constitutional democracy and its governance is regulated and guided by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). The Constitution of any nation is fundamental and sacred to her existence. In Attorney-General of the Federation v Attorney-General of Abia State,[16] the Supreme Court per Belgore JSC rightly posited that: “The fountain of all our laws is the constitution; it is the composite document setting out how the country is to be held together — it is the very foundation of the nation’s existence.” In PDP v INEC, Uwais CJN also defined a Constitution in these words: “A constitution is the organic law or grundnorm of the people. While it seeks to provide the machinery of government, it also gives rights and imposes obligations on the people it is meant for.” It is thus incontestable that the Constitution is the fundamental legal framework which governs and regulates the government. It sets up the organs and institutions of government, regulates the relationship between the organs of government and the governed and establishes rights, duties and obligations both for the government and the governed. Just as is obtainable under the law of contract, parties to the social contract should be able to enforce the rights, duties and obligations arising out of the contract. This is even more so when this contract is entrenched in the Constitution. It is quite unfortunate that the provisions of Chapter II which provide extensively for the fundamental objectives of Government are merely decorative. The otherwise laudable ideals of democracy expressed in the wordings of the provisions of Chapter II have been rendered otiose by the provisions of section 6(6)(c) which makes the provisions non-justiciable. Section 6(6)(C) of the Constitution provides: “The judicial powers vested in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this section shall, not, except as otherwise provided by this Constitution, extend to any issue or question as to whether any act or omission by any authority or person or as to whether any law or any judicial decision in conformity with the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy set out in Chapter II of this Constitution.”

LIMATIC change is a global issue that requires an intensive attention. With realities, such as flooding, heat wave, extreme cold and landslides, it is difficult to ignore what the earth is telling us today. Hurricanes and tsunamis, though not directly caused by global warming, have witnessed a rise in frequency and intensity due to the intensification of global warming. Global warming occurs due to the rise in the temperature around the earth atmosphere. It is characteristically caused by green house gases like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane. A few of the deadly effects of global warming are desert encroachment and droughts, melting of ice caps and glaciers and the increase in the spread of hazardous diseases. These maladies do not just endanger the environment but they are also a threat to all species. In Nigeria, the recent floods that ravaged communities in Jos, Ibadan, Lagos and Cross River resulted in a huge loss of lives and property: several families were rendered homeless as a result of these disasters. These extremities in recent climatic conditions have been linked to human activities; and in order to prevent global environmental and economic collapse, adequate measures have to be taken by groups and individuals to stem the tide of green house threats by taking new trajectories that will bring about renewable revolutions and guarantee a sustainable future for the earth and the people who live in it. Scientists are reviewing the most recent scientific and socio-economic information on climate change in order to provide the world with a concise review of present realities on climate change, its potential impact and the answers to the dilemma. Today with the new focus clearly pointing to the ongoing destruction of our natural resources, it is widely acceptable that what can be done to remedy the situation is to plant trees. Corporate bodies have taken it upon themselves to set up programmes and projects that will reduce the onslaught of global warming. One of such organisations is LG Electronics with its tree-planting campaign. Trees are important to human existence, as they produce oxygen without which we cannot exist. A mature tree with leaves produces as much oxygen in a season as 10 people inhale in a year. What many do not know is that forests act as massive filters that clean the air we breathe. Trees also clean the soil through a process known as phytoremediation. This term describes the absorption of dangerous chemicals and other pollutants that have entered the soil. They can either store harmful pollutants or actually change the pollutant into less harmful forms. Another major function each tree offers be-

Climatic change and brand LG H side its aesthetic value is the sequestering of carbon dioxide (CO2). Studies have shown that trees are carbon sinks. In a bid to produce its food, a tree absorbs and locks away carbon dioxide in the wood, roots and leaves. CO2 is a global warming suspect. A forest is a carbon storage area or a “sink” that can lock up as much carbon as it produces. This locking-up process “stores” carbon as wood and not as an available “greenhouse” gas. LG Electronics over the last few years has been at the forefront of fighting climate change. Annually, the company marks the world environmental day with a tree-planting activity in partnership with the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment. It is always a pleasurable moment as staff of LG Electronics Nigeria, the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment, Fouani Nigeria Limited and the media come out in their numbers to plant trees in support of the “Going green” initiative and in fulfilment of its commitment towards giving back to the society where it operates. The tree-planting activity was established to highlight LG’s commitment to contributing to a sustainable future. In recognition of LG’s pioneering work in the area of tree-planting and environmental protection initiatives, the company was recently honoured as the corporate organisation with the best nurtured trees by the Lagos State government. The award was presented to LG Electronics by Governor Raji Fashola at an elaborate ceremony to officially kick off this year’s Lagos tree-planting campaign. LG Electronics, through its green initiatives, has shown its commitment towards ensuring the healthy state of the environment where it operates in. Beyond planting trees, the company ensures that its products are eco-friendly. Worthy of note is the fact that the use of LG Electronics’products guarantees safety of consumers’ health and lifestyle. For example, an LG SolarDOM light wave oven compared to an electronic oven is equivalent to planting 140 trees; using an LG LCD TV is equivalent to planting seven trees; using an LG refrigerator is equivalent to planting 39 trees; using an LG air conditioner is equivalent to planting 2,042 trees and using an LG Home Theatre system is equivalent to planting two trees. With the recognition from the Lagos State Government, LG Electronics can only do more towards fighting climate change. Other companies should also be inspired to take the fight against climate change as a critical task that must be tackled by everyone.

BTW Forever One, which is anchored by the mischievous ‘Cupid’, who loves to shoot arrows of love from one heart to the other, has gone a step further in the celebration of love in this newly repackaged show. She has added more entertainment to the mix of the celebration by dramatising various issues that have to do with relationships, such as proposals, family interference, betrayals etc. The request segment has also been upgraded to allow listeners to make song dedication for those they are sending it. ‘Cupid’ says her shout-outs are special and specific. ‘I shoot one arrow at one heart per time’. To round off the show, Cupid has come up with wittier more interesting toasts that will delight the listeners.

E cannot run. He cannot hide. He cannot avoid contact with the other party. He is always at the mercy of the ‘enemy’. He is not respected. He is rarely honoured. He is a meal ticket. He is a cash machine. The enemy depends on him for survival. But he hardly gets treated as such. Instead, he is treated, in most cases, as if he has no option. As such, unless he is paying, he is not worth anything. If he is not paying, then there is no room for him. But if he is paying, he would be accorded a semblance of respect. The enemy is out to get him. The enemy is out to milk him. He has no friend. He has no ally. He is, in the local parlance, on his own. That is why he is always at the mercy of the ‘mercenaries’ who are out to ensure he parts with his cash, anyhow, anywhere, any time. Encounter him during a local or international flight, he is served cold snacks. His drink is rationed. He is charged for excess luggage. And sometimes, the luggage is lost in transit. He has no advocate. That is why the police will suspect him. The cashier will over charge him. The fuel attendant will shortchange him. The government will tax him. The tailor will disappoint him. His manicurist will knife him. The courier company will delay his shipment. The customs will charge him demurrage. LASTMA will harass him. On the other hand, the bank teller will delay him. The internet service provider will give him limited or no access. Meanwhile, there is no definite law to defend him. He is always against the invincible. The customer has been taken for granted for so long; he is short of words. However, all these mistreatments are paid for. That is why it seems everybody is after his cash. That is why the phisher will phish him, by sending him fictitious email messages over and over again until he is caught in the net. The scammer will scam him. Mind you, these treatments are not peculiar to the local environment. It happens everywhere, on different continent: Africa, Asia and America. The worse cases are in South Africa. But what happened in Las Vegas recently is a different attack on the customer. It simply shows how desperate the enemy is to get his cash. During a conference on hacker at Defcon, an attendee spotted a fake ATM nestled in a security blind spot at the hotel. The machine was not branded, but had a personal computer inside it. It’s believed that the setup was designed to skim ATM cards. It is unknown how long the machine was there or whether there are other fake ATMs in other casinos within the vicinity. The ‘enemies’, who installed the ATM, didn’t realise that they were installing their ATM in a hotel that was soon going to be flooded with over 8,000 security professionals. The cyber security professionals at the conference understand the implications of scamming and ATM fraud. They understand the negative impact of card fraud on

cardholders and ATM users. They are not likely to fall victim of ATM scam; no, not when they have just examined the global issues of cyber security and its adverse effect. Aside, these knowledgeable people must have seen the inside and outside of an ATM several times. As such, even if they were blindfolded they could assemble an ATM or could guide a technician on how to assemble one. They are experts. It could be that the fraudsters were unaware of this fact when they mounted their attack in Las Vegas, right where these experts were having a conference on how to surmount the scam challenge. So, the scam masters went to walk: They installed what looked like a functional ATM system, but when ATM users approached the cash machine to withdraw cash, the machine would scan their card information and record their PINs. The users did not understand what was happening. They did not also know how long the machine had been at the location. However, when the scam busters got to know about the scam, the law enforcement agents were notified and the machine was moved away. According to one of the scam busters, what happened is a very common scam. The machine was discovered because its light emitting diode (LED) was the wrong colour and the Plexiglas was a little too dark. How was it discovered? The scam busters looked at the screen where a camera would normally be installed. It was a little bit too dark. So, one of the techies shined a flashlight in there. What was found? A personal computer! That is the main “instrument” the credit card skimmers used to skim the PINs of ATM users. Meanwhile, installed in the computer would be a card readers to steal information from unsuspecting ATM users. Once the criminals record the card information and PIN, they would use the information to create a fake ATM card and then empty the victim’s account. Before now unsophisticated criminal gangs are increasingly using these devices. They have realised that this is a great way to make money without getting caught. ATM scam is a global issue. It is happening in Las Vegas. It is happening in South Africa. It is happening in Nigeria. What are the scammers after? The customer and his cash. Ha! The customer is in for hard times. He has no hiding place. He is up against the world. He has no friend. He is surrounded by enemies! He does not know who to trust. His account officer would collaborate with criminals to defraud him. He would give out his bank statements and expose him to unmitigated risks. In most cases, he would lose his entire life savings. Other times, he would escape with a bruise. He is being pursued in Lagos, London and Las Vegas. Who will recue the customer from the scammers and ATM fraudsters?

Mouka introduces sales via calls

M

OUKA Limited customers can now get their goods delivered to their homes free with the introduction of Mouka ‘Dial-A-Mattress’. It is designed to give access to Mouka products for customers.

The Head of Commercial, Mouka Limited, Mr Jude Abonu, said Mouka Dial-AMattress provides ease for busy professionals or persons who want to buy mattresses, but want to avoid the hassles of delivery and risk of fake products.

He said the desire to put customers of Mouka first in their transactions had motivated the firm to embark on this initiative. “Customers are just a phone call away from getting our trained customer service personnel recommend the best sleep and comfort solutions in Nigeria,” he added. Mouka had, in the last three years, pioneered access to its products. In 2010, the first online platform was launched in the industry. Also, the free home delivery service was pioneered in Lagos and the company also launched its bedding centres. Besides, customers can visit the company’s website at www.mouka.com to choose their mattress and pay via the online platform that was launched in August last year.

1,000 youths for entrepreneurial I training abroad O VER 1,000 youths from Akwa Ibom State are to benefit from a training and economic empowerment programme designed by a group of Akwa Ibom professionals under the auspices of the Ibom Diaspora Trust. Addressing the maiden Akwa Ibom Economic Summit and Investment Expo in Houston, United States (US) Governor Godswill Akpabio described the programme as a major step in the partnership between the government and Akwa Ibom Diaspora Trust in developing skills and manpower that would drive small and medium scale businesses. Akpabio praised the Akwa Ibom Diaspora Network for organising the summit to discuss the economic fortunes of the state and explore ways of attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the state. He said the summit was most auspicious, especially since the government had laid the requisite infrastructural foundation for industrialisation and

economic growth. By this summit, “you have fanned the embers of Akwa Ibom patriotism and nationalism in the hearts of Akwa Ibom people and particularly those in the diaspora,” Akpabio said. He assured would-be investors at the summit of his administration’s commitment to supporting viable economic ventures in the state, adding that government had put in place policies and incentives that have made the state an investor’s destination. He listed some of the core areas of partnership to include maritime and aviation development; tourism and hospitality as well as small and medium scale industries. Akpabio urged potential investors to note that the state was a gold mine with treasures that were yet-be-tapped, admonishing them to hearken to the

voice of opportunity knocking at their door steps and to open their doors to the world of limitless opportunities that abound in thestate Secretary to Akwa Ibom State Government, Umana Okon Umana, who chaired the business session noted that the state was ready for investors by working hard to ensure adequate security for lives and property. He said the government placed high premium on developmental initiatives such as the AIDN summit which underscores why a high delegation was sent to participate in the summit The summit’s theme was: Moving Akwa Ibom Forward and had sessions on: Enhancing Investment opportunities and Attracting Foreign Direct Investments. It attracted 25 major corporations and companies in the United States and Canada and the United States Bilateral African Chambers of Commerce.

In search of investors

NTERNATIONAL politics and economics are intertwined. Technology has made it possible for nearly every country to participate in events in every part of the world as they occur. Nigeria is not left behind, but unfortunately the explosion in information has not been matched by an increase in knowledge. Rather, technology has reduced Nigeria into a consumer nation, a mere market, and often times a dumping ground. Nigeria is a key participant in the Aviation industry, more as a market than an investor’s destination. We interact, but do not necessarily understand the sector. We come to the table without a defined interest, policy or work plan. History shows that normally prudent, ordinary calculations can be overturned by extraordinary personalities. In the case of Princess Stella Oduah, the architect of Nigeria’s emergence as Africa’s aviation hub, the ancient argument whether circumstance or personality shapes events is settled in favour of the latter. What she inherited, on her assumption of office, could not have been less favourable. It is common knowledge that most Nigerian airports and terminals were built in the 70s and in the past 30 years, no meaningful step has taken to shore up the infrastructure to be at par with international standards. Our national carrier, the once boisterous Nigerian Airways was systematically reduced to cadavers, and the remains cremated. The airports were glorified motor parks, check-in services were slow and inefficient, and the arrival/ departure lounges an eyesore. Leaking roof, suffocating counters and unkempt and broken conveniences added to passengers’ nightmare. The facilities were decayed and in a state of utter dysfunction; a disgrace and embarrassment to our national pride and standing in the comity of nations. Passengers avoided our local airlines like a plague. Foreign airlines tip-toed our climes to reap from our profitable routes. They flew in their food, water and even insecticides, as if to purify our air. They charged arbitrary fares and made it practically impossible for indigenous carriers to compete on lucrative routes. They patronized our routes with dilapidated, spent-up aircraft. Even their crew was like a scene from the James Bond mov-

ies of the sixties. Princess Stella Oduah inherited an institution on its knees. The call for the transformation of the aviation industry was deafening, and justifiably so! Armed with a marching order from President Goodluck Jonathan to transform the industry and an uncommon conviction to turn things round, Princess Oduah went to the drawing board. In the words of Lee Kuan Yew, the founding father of Singapore, “every great achievement is a dream before it becomes reality.” Though the challenges were great, to Oduah, they were not insurmountable. Converting waste to wealth has been her way of life. Her spectacular achievements in the private sector where she built a thriving enterprise through sheer determination and hardwork is her testament. She envisioned an industry that would not simply survive but prevail by excelling. Superior intelligence, discipline, and ingenuity would substitute poor resources. Princess Oduah summoned her team to a duty they had never previously perceived; first to clean up the Augean stable, then to rebuild the industry and dedicate it to overcome the initial hostile business climate by superior performance. Thereafter it was hardwork, planning and action. Barely two months into her appointment, 11 airports were remodeled, in an unprecedented scale. The work was done by competent Nigerians who had no god-fathers. Most were diaspora Nigerians convinced by the minister to contribute to the nation by embarking on these projects without initial deposit, with a guarantee that they will be paid. The quality of work was unmatched and the speed of extraordinary. Having established the template, it is now time to usher the aviation sector into the international arena. A strategic move to situate the Nigerian aviation sector as an attractive destination for international funding and investments. The Aviation road show to attract foreign investment will reinvent Nigeria as the hub of Africa’s aviation. It will situate Nigeria as the commercial entrepo’t of international financing and foreign investments urgently needed to enable the nation play its leading role in Africa and beyond.

HE Alliance and General Insurance Plc has denied reports that it is insolvent. It said it is shocked by the insolvency allegation because it paid out more than N1 billion in claims in the last two weeks. The firm said it paid over N20 million in Dana Air Crash Victims Group Accident Claim and over N1 billion to Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria and others. In a statement, the Divisional Director, Corporate Planning and Strategy Mr Dotun Onipede said the Financial Reporting Council(FRC)was not thorough in recommending to the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) to suspend the management teams of Alliance & General Insurance Limited and Alliance & General Life Assurance Plc, which are no longer in existence. “The two companies do not exist. Following satisfactory due diligence, both of them were NAICOM approved for merger into one strong entity. NAICOM duly approved the merger under the new name Alliance & General Insurance Plc. It, therefore, implies that NAICOM suspended two compa-

We are solvent, says firm nies that no longer exist. “But since the suspended companies were the product of the current company, we are inclined to react in the interest of our shareholders, clients and other stakeholders,” the company said. It noted that unless there is a deliberate intent to bring down Alliance & General Insurance Plc, FRC and NAICOM should not have hastily taken a decision against it based on issues against the two former companies whose merger was well by NAICOM and other relevant authorities. Onipede said the company would not be said to be insolvent because the merge was with intent to strengthen the entity financially and managerially and technically. “So, is NAICOM saying that the company that emerged from its approval of the merger of two others is suddenly insolvent after a month. Moreover, the solvency margins of Alliance & General Insurance Company Ltd for 2010 and Alliance & Gen-

eral Life Assurance Plc for 2009 stood at (N6,317,314,326) and (N8,068,614,944) respectively and were approved by NAICOM. In fact, we paid more than N1.2 billion as claims within the last few months, which is not the mark of an insolvent company.” “If FRC is not satisfied with our financial report as they claimed they should point out the areas of inconsistency rather than making sweeping comments just to ensure our crucifixion. The 2010 financial report that we submitted followed the pattern of 2009 financial report, yet NAICOM approved that of 2009 accounts in 28 Feb, 2011"This raises some puzzles because this is unusual. How are we sure that this not a ploy to take over the company as has been done in the past by some overzealous officials? “If NAICOM has an issue with us, appropriate processes and procedures should have been taken to compel us to make amends, but nothing like that happened,” the company said.

VER 50,000 technology-based entrepreneurs (techno-entrepreneurs) have been trained by the Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi (FIIRO), since it was established in 1953. Its Director-General, Dr. Gloria Elemo, who disclosed this in Lagos, said many of such entrepreneurs had established profitable businesses based on the acquired technologies, thereby generating millions of employment opportunities directly or indirectly. Besides, the FIIRO boss said the institute had developed over 250 technologies in its 69 years of existence, with over 50 ready for commercialisation. She said FIIRO commenced full technology transfer activities in 1986, with 12 technologies and that the number of transferred technologies on the institute’s weekly schedule had increased to 26. She said: “The institute has trained

over 50,000 techno-entrepreneurs on various technologies at the institute, and many of them have established profitable businesses based on the acquired technologies, which have been generating millions of employment opportunities directly and indirectly through multiplier effects.” Mrs Elemo said in fulfillment of its objectives, FIIRO had achieved key developments and major research breakthroughs. She listed some of the major breakthroughs and developments made by the institute to include the development and utilisation of high quality cassava flour for cassava-wheat composite flour production for bread making, which received Presidential attention in 2004; cassava chips and pellets production, which products are used mainly for animal feeds; upgrading and mechanisation of the traditional method of fufu production, among others.

Railway to begin cassava haulage

N

IGERIAN Railway Corporation (NRC) has commenced haulage of cassava chips from Kwara State to Lagos ports for export to Asia and other countries, marking the beginning of the implementation of an understanding between the NRC and Federal Ministry of Agriculture. The corporation recently transported the first 160 tons of cassava chips from Ilorin to Lagos seaport. The agreement between the NRC

and the ministry was reached to actualise the transformation agenda of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture which centres on large-scale movement of cassava and other agrarian products of comparative advantage to the global market. Managing Director of the corporation Mr Adeseyi Sijuwade expressed optimism that the corporation would take more market share of freight haulage as soon as the Lagos - Kano rail services begin.

SOCIETY The First Lady of South Africa, Mrs Nompumelelo Ntuli–Zuma, was in Nigeria to attend the First Ladies Peace Conference at Abuja. After the event, she left for Bayelsa, the home state of President Goodluck Jonathan where she was honoured with the title: Ebimoboere (a woman of goodwill). ISAAC OMBE reports

Here comes ‘woman of goodwill’

F

ROM Abuja, she headed to Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, to keep a date. South Africa's First Lady Mrs Nompumelelo NtuliZuma came with a large entourage. Her visit was to reciprocate that of Governor Seriake Dickson to her country last month. Dickson and some Bayelsa businessmen had gone to South Africa on a trade mission. Mrs Ntuli–Zuma’s stay in Bayelsa was eventful. She met with Bayelsa women groups led by the governor’s wife, Mrs. Rachael Dickson. A roundtable dinner was held for her at the Glory Land Castle. In attendance were Dickson, his commissioners, business groups and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). At the dinner, Mrs. Ntuli–Zuma was conferred with the honorary citizenship of Bayelsa State and given an indigenous name “Ebimoboere” meaning a “woman of goodwill”. Dignitaries at the event were dressed in the Izon traditional attire which Dickson has made popular. Dressed in an Ijaw traditional attire of agele (headgear) with yellow blouse and red double wrapper, Mrs Ntuli-Zuma felt at home in the midst of Bayelsa women. Dickson’s wife Rachael; Deputy Governor John Jonah and his wife Selepre, ensured that Mrs. NtuliZuma enjoyed herself. They treated her to the best Izon tradition which may linger in her memory for years. An elated Mrs. Ntuli-Zuma could not hide her excitement. She expressed gratitude to the government and people of Bayelsa. According to her, the visit was a reciprocation of Governor Dickson’s visit to South Africa. Beaming with smiles, Mrs NtuliZuma said her visit was to identify areas of synergy between Nigeria and South Africa.

Though bilateral trade between Nigeria and South Africa is growing, she said, there is still need for improvement. While paying tributes to Nigeria for its contributions to the anti-apartheid struggle in her country, she said the strategic partnership between both countries to promote growth and development in Africa will continue to earn them a pride of place in the world. Mrs. Ntuli–Zuma’s also met Bayelsa women groups during the launch of Mrs Dickson’s pet project for the girl Child, “Rescuing the Ijaw GirlChild.” Dickson called for the harnessing of Africa’s resources to liberate the continent from the shackles of under development. He explained that his South African visit was informed by the fact that Africa has come of age, noting that there is nothing the continent cannot achieve if both countries agree to work together. He said the private sector would be used to diversify the economy by investing in tourism, agriculture and aqua-culture. The South African Deputy High Commissioner in Nigeria Mr Geoffrey Mulaudzi, thanked Nigerians for their hospitality. Mulaudzi called on Africans to be innovative in their quest for development, promised to use his office to showcase the huge potential that abound in Bayelsa State. He hailed the government for its commitment to development, adding that his country will do everything to support the initiative. Mulauzi said eco-tourism, which is a key component of the proposed partnership, is the fastest growing sector in the world, adding that it would be a major source of income to the state.

In ones, twos and threes, they trooped into the Agip Recital Hall of MUSON Centre, Onikan, Lagos for the presentation of the book: The Nigerian Political Turf: Polity, Politics, Politicians, written by the Group Political Editor, The Nation, Mr Mobolade Omonijo.

Recalling his sojourn with the author, Adamu said to the admiration of all, his fulfilment on seeing many men whom he mentored into journalism being successful in their careers. He said: “Bolade looks harmless, but his poisonous pen can attract so much attention like it has done today”. Others in attendance were Ekiti State, Governor Kayode Fayemi, who gave a lecture; Deputy Governor of Osun State, Otunba Titi Laoye-Tomori; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the chairman of the occasion, who was represented by former Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr Leke Pitan; Dr Razaq Balogun from the House of Representatives; renowned essayist, Prof Adebayo Williams; Senior Special Adviser to Anambra State governor on Liason Matter, Hon Ucheoma Chukwundu; Senator Ganiyu Solomon; Senator Femi Lanlehin; Prof Hope Eghagha, who represented the governor of Delta State and Dr Dipo Oyatomi.

Asiwaju Tinubu appraised the author for bringing together such great ideas, condemning the present state of Nigeria. “Nigeria has never lacked solutions to her problems. Rather, what we have lacked is visionary and courageous leaders at all levels with the political will and commitment to drive through the reforms proffered,” he said. Fayemi expressed his gratitude for the privilege of addressing the special audience. Noting that there should be a relationship between the leaders and the led, Omonijo reflected his worries on the place of values in politics, Fayemi said though he is an active participant, the book remains timely and timeless. Fayemi urged the government not to see democratisation as a practice, but something the ordinary people are committed to, noting that democracy should be nourished by the daily struggles of the people. A 10-year-old saxophonist, Tejiri Emore (a.k.a) TJ Sax, with his trumpet played soothing notes to help guests relax. Reviewing the book, Kunle Ajibade said the book with eight chapters covers 22 years. The book is dedicated to Krees Imodibe and Tayo Awotunsin, the two reporters from The Guardian and The Champion, who lost their lives during the Liberian dark era. “The collection of short and long articles reminds us of the past and gives an intimation of the future,” he said. The reviewer, however, noted that Omonijo’s interest in politics began as a student of Political Science at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN). Describing the author as one with critical empathy, he emphasised that the book takes account of the cause of financial and emotional loss governance has caused the people. The author could not express the depth of his joy on seeing such number of people who graced the occasion. Omonijo also thanked Dr Adamu for the values implanted on him. Not forgetting his pretty wife of 20 years, he concluded by saying: “every day is new, everyday is different.”

What love has joined together ... Her man’s disability not withstanding, Grace Ibrahim went ahead to marry Nasir Aruna, who is wheelchair bound. This is the love story of the Arunas, who met at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) during their Masters programme PRECIOUS IGBONWELUNDU reports.

N a society where women will not take a second look at a physically-challenged person, her decision to marry one shows the power of love. For former Miss Grace Ibrahim, her holding a Masters in Chemistry from the University of Lagos (UNILAG) did not stop her from dating Nasir Aruna, a person living with disability. They met at UNILAG a few years ago during their postgraduate studies. Their friendship blossomed into a marital bliss last Saturday. Aruna, who hails from Edo State, holds a Masters in Statistics. He was crippled by an injection he took as a child. It was a joyous moment at the Renewed

Christian Assembly, Agric Egan, Lagos, where their relationship was solemnised. Family and colleagues thronged the church to witness the ceremony. The church was agog. Some of the guests said they only see such love in movies. The officiating Minister, Revd Julius Ladeji, congratulated the couple. He said the institution of marriage is unique and significant. This union reflected the power of love, he said. “Honestly, I don’t think I can do it. I must commend grace. I came here because a friend of

mine called me to come and see love in action, and, indeed, I have witnessed it,” a lady told The Nation during the service. The church yelled in thunderous Halleluyah when Revd Ladeji declared them husband and wife. Afterwards, the couple signed the marriage certificate with their parents. The choir thrilled the congregation with soul-inspiring music. An elated Aruna after the photograph

session outside the church said she was grateful to God for making the day a reality. For Aruna, he had a burning desire to marry Grace immediately they became friends irrespective of the fact that he was a ‘ladies’ man’. “Grace is not just my wife; she is my friend, my companion and the only one who understands me better. I know we shall have a happy home with children and I am thankful to God I had her, I also know she is happy to have me,” he said. His wife, however, finds it gratifying that despite his challenges, he has great vision and moves towards achieving set goals. “I love my husband because despite his challenge, he refused to be wailed down and confront it. He did not allow himself to be miserable, and there is nothing a man can do that he cannot.” The Kogi-born teacher disclosed that she found everything she has ever wanted in a man in Aruna. “My husband is loving, trustworthy and knows how to treat a woman,” she said. According to her, it was initially difficult introducing him to her parents, but with prayers and determination, her dream came to fruition. “I thought it was a joke when he proposed to me. I started praying when he persisted and I contacted my pastor who prayed and as well confirmed it. Then the next thing was how to introduce him to my family. But with prayers and God, when I introduced him to my family, they accepted him,” she said. Grace’s relative, Amos Ibrahim, admitted that he did not support the idea initially, but had to give his blessings when she introduced Aruna to the family. “When she brought him, I realised the young man was intelligent, sound and handsome; so we gave our support,” Ibrahim said. The groom’s brother, Oshio Aruna, said his younger brother has always been a source of motivation for their family. “I am grateful to God that he has got married because we all looked forward to this day. We are inspired by his achievements in life despite his challenge,” he said. He said through his brother, he has come to realise that disability cannot stop a man from achieving his aspirations.

Four killed in Anambra accident From Nwanosike Onu, Awka

F

OUR persons were killed in an accident yesterday in Awka, Anambra State. Many others were injured. The incident occurred at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK) Junction. It was learnt that a truck driver lost control of his vehicle and ran into five cars. The victims, who were reportedly hawking their goods by the roadside, died in the process. The bodies have been evacuated by officials of the Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC). The injured were taken to various hospitals in the city. Though officials of the FRSC refused to confirm the number of the dead, an eye witnesses told the Nation that they were more than four. Vehicles involved in the accident included an ash-colour Toyota Camry marked BJ 192 YAB, Peace Mass Transport (PMT) XW 556 ENU, Blue Mercedez Benz marked LND 778 XA and a Sienna belonging to the Plateau Express Service Limited, marked XH 146 JJN. One of the drivers of the vehicles, Mr. Ikechukwu Efobi, said: “I was held up in traffic when the trailer ran into my car. We came to Anambra from Plateau for a burial, but look at the devil’s handiwork.” Another driver, Pastor Fabian Epechukwu, said: “I thank God for sparing our lives.” Epechukwu said he saw three bodies being evacuated by FRSC officials, but there could be more.

2015 presidency not negotiable, say Igbo leaders I GBO leaders, under the aegis of the Southeast Forum (SEF), yesterday said Igbo presidency in 2015 is not negotiable. They spoke at Modotel, Enugu, during the launch of the forum’s constitution. Those at the event include former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) National Chairman Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo; a PDP chieftain of PDP from Imo State, Dr. Ezekiel Izuogu; former National Orientation Agency (NOA) Director-General (DG) Prof. Elo Amucheazi; former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN), Prof. Chinedu Nebo; Senator Nnamdi Eriobuna; Prince Oji Nwafor Orizu; and Prof. Catherine Achalonu, among others. The forum said its mis-

sion is to rebuild a collective sense of historic destiny and rekindle the traditional “Igbo CAN-DO” spirit. SEF said it is laying the foundation of a platform that will protect the interest of Ndigbo. Izuogu, who is the forum’s National Chairman, said SEF was established to give the people of the Southeast a platform to organise themselves and present a formidable front in negotiating with political power brokers and office seekers. He said: “Before now, the Southeast had no such platform. Consequently, we had no bargaining power and we were picked up and set-

commended the Americans for their support. “Within this period of being Secretary of State, she has raised the relationship between Nigeria and America to a very high level that we have never reached for some time by personally chairing the Bi-National Commission. We have discussed various things security, economy and so on and so forth. She has been very supportive “And of course, the Obama administration is also passionate about Africa and Nigeria.

Never again shall our people be sidelined or taken for granted in the politics of this nation. “We are interested in producing the president in 2015. We are tired of being campaign managers and national coordinators for presidential candidates from other zones. “The Southeast must begin to speak with one credible voice on issues affecting our people, especially political issues. We support the government of President Goodluck Jonathan and we pray for him to succeed, but

we also support the emergence of a president of Igbo extraction in 2015. These two are not mutually exclusive.” Izuogu said SEF recognises the efforts of bodies such as the World Igbo Congress (WIC), the Aka Ikenga, the Izu Umunna, the Southeast Professionals, Ndigbo Lagos, Igbo Delegates Assembly, among others, in protecting Igbo values. The Chairman of the event, Nwodo, said it is time for Ndigbo to take their destiny in their hands. He said the Federal Government has “continued to neglect the Southeast” 40 years after the Nigeria Civil War. Nwodo urged Ndigbo to put their differences behind them and speak with one voice.

AN Owerri High Court, presided over by Justice Ngozi Opara, yesterday ruled that the tenure of the 27 reinstated local government chairmen in Imo State has ended. The judgment vacated an ex-parte order earlier secured by the embattled chairmen, which restrained the state government and the House of Assembly from dissolving their committees. The court held that the tenure of the chairmen expired on August 8, which marked their second anniversary, as stipulated by the

state’s laws. Governor Rochas Okorocha’s media aide, Mr. Ebere Uzoukwa, said: “Imo State’s law is clear on the tenure of elected council chairmen and it was not Okorocha that made the law. As it stands, their tenure has expired and they have no business in the council anymore.” He said the judgment has vindicated the state government’s position on the issue.

ABIA State Governor Theodore Orji has said he would not be distracted by the activities of “mischief makers.” He was reacting to criticisms that his administration was only focusing on developing Aba. In a statement by his Special Adviser, Public Commmunication, Ben Onyechere, Orji said: “My resolve to change Aba cannot be deterred by mischief makers. Our detractors are envious because we have done the unexpected, particularly in Aba, where we tackled the infrastructural decay. “It is noteworthy, even to the undiscerning mind, that we engaged Aba from scratch because of the long neglect of the city by previous governments. “Aba, like Lagos and Onitsha, is burdened with vehicular and human traffic, coupled with the erection of illegal structures on waterways. But unlike those cities, it has a peculiar terrain of erosive soil.”

ACN condemns murder in Akwa Ibom

T

HE Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has condemned the murder of Mrs Erasmus Effanga and Mr Basil Effanga, the mother and brother of its spokesman in Akwa Ibom State, Francis Effanga. The Effangas’ decomposing bodies were found in a room in their residence at Mbinkpa Atan village on August 5. In a statement in Lagos by its National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, the party described the murder as proof of the culture of violence and the systemic decimation of its members in Akwa Ibom State.

It called on the Presidency to rise above partisan politics and direct security agencies to apprehend the killers. The statement reads:”In the run-up to last year’s general elections, Akwa Ibom held unenviable record of being the goriest killing field in the country. “The ACN’s spokesman,

Francis Effanga, was a thorn in the flesh of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a role which earned him unjustified persecution, arrest and detention. “This latest murder has once again confirmed that the reign of politics of intolerance, assassinations and kidnappings in Akwa Ibom,

which has so far claimed over 100 lives, is far from over. “President Goodluck Jonathan should direct security agencies to investigate and fish out the culprits because this is crucial to deter crimes, uphold the rule of law and protect public trust in the justice system.”

Bayelsa Assembly sacks five council chairmen

HE Bayelsa State House of Assembly has sacked five local government chairmen. They are Tiwei Orunimighe (Southern Ijaw), Ngo Sylva (Brass), Eddy Julius (Ekeremor), Pere Pereotu (Sagbama) and Sammy Boy (Ogbia). This followed the probe by the Assembly into the activities of the councils.

The ousted chairmen accused Dickson and Deputy Governor John Jonah of being

•Vice-Chairmen sworn in From Isaac Ombe, Yenagoa

behind their travails. But Dickson has denied involvement in the matter. In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, he described the criticisms as “acts of mischief”. Dickson said it was the decision of the House of Assembly. The statement said: “Contrary to insinuations and illinformed reports that the five sacked chairmen had the backing of the executive arm, it is pertinent to state that Governor Seriake Dickson had no

hand in the matter. “”Upon their removal, it was incumbent on government to immediately swear in the Vice Chairmen of the five affected local government since we cannot afford to have a vacuum. “It also smirks of mischief for anyone to insinuate that the five sacked chairmen were removed because of their loyalty to the former governor, Timipre Sylva”. Those sworn in are Yousuo Oberiakuna (Brass), Felix Ayah (Southern Ijaw),Ibegu Richard (Ogbia), John Ebikake (Ekeremor) and Tony Ogola (Sagbama).

Chairman of the revenue board Oseni Elamah said NTA, NIPOST and NABTEB have paid their tax revenue.

ANEEJ headquarters, the Deputy Director ANEEJ, Leo Atakpu, urged President Goodluck Jonathan to set up a committee to investigate the incident. Atakpu said: “We recommend that President Goodluck Jonathan set up a special security committee to review all investigations regarding Oyerinde’s murder. “We call for the immediate and unconditional release of David Ugolor for we know he

is innocent.” In a related development, ANEEJ urged the police to publish the call log between the suspect and Ugolor. Its Programme Director, Innocent Edemhanrhia, said: “The suspect claimed that Ugolor uses a Toyota Camry , which he used to meet him at Ring Road, Benin City. Neither Ugolor nor the late Oyerinde has a Camry. “The fact that the suspect does not have reliable information about Ugolor and the deceased invalidates all his claims.”

T

HE Federal Capital Territory Development Control Unit said yesterday that the building, which collapsed on Wednesday morning in Dutse Alhaji, Abuja failed integrity test when examined last year. It said the building, which has been abandoned for six years, has no development permit. Three people died and nine were injured in the incident.

PHCN workers begin strike P

OWER Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) workers have embarked on a strike, threatening to halt the nation’s power generating stations if the Federal Government fails to pay retirement benefits. Operating under the Nigeria Union of Electrical Employees (NUEE), the workers alleged insincerity on the part of the government for refusing to pay “proper” retirement benefits to workers in the power sector, following government’s decision to privatise the sector. PHCN workers protested yesterday at the Shiroro Power Station in Niger State to express their displeasure

From Jide Orintunsin, Minna

for being eased out of service without benefits. The workers, who alleged that they were being forcefully retired, said they were ready to go if their retirement benefits were paid. They added that they were not against privatisation as alleged by the government. The workers, who carried placards, with inscriptions: “Don’t short-change us, pay us our full benefits”; “Bart Nnaji, tell Nigerians the truth about PHCN”; “Minister of Power, treat us with dignity”, said they were being denied their rights. Addressing reporters during the protest, the Chair-

man of the Nigeria Union of Electrical Employees (NUEE), Mallam Nagwa Mohammed, said most of them had been told to go, but are not paid their retirement benefits. “They are asking us to go by force. We want government to know that we are ready to go if our entitlements are paid. Government should honour the agreement to pay our full benefits. You cannot send people away by force and you deny them their terminal benefits. “It’s not done anywhere. We don’t have guns, we only want the world to know that we are being intimidated and cheated.”

Mohammed said they want the government to honour the condition of employment which stipulates that when they retire or are asked to go, their full retirement benefits would be paid. He said the introduction of PENCOM was not welcomed by the workers as they wanted to continue with the old pension scheme. The NUEE chairman said those due for retirement were being given N80, 000, which is not their full retirement benefit. He urged the government to work with the agreement as they are not fighting their employers but fighting for their rights.

Reserves may hit $60b on rising oil output

F

OREIGN reserves, which stood at $36.39 billion on August 7, 2012, is expected to hit $60 billion as Nigeria’s oil production soars. Nigeria’s crude oil production spiked to an all-time high of 2.7 million barrel per day (mbpd) on the 25th of July, the first time in 50 years. This peak represented an increase of 28.57 per cent from the year-to-date average of 2.11 mbpd. In the Financial Derivatives Company (FDC) Economic Report for August, its Managing Director, Bismark Rewane said that at an average production level of 2.7 million barrel production per day (mbpd), there will be 10.7 per cent increase in government revenue to N946.97 billion by next month. He estimated a 9.12 per cent rise in forex inflows to $4.02 billion and reserves accretion

T

The FDC noted: The annual loss from these leakage activities is approximately $5 billion or seven per cent of total government revenue to leakages such as oil theft. The Niger Delta, Nigeria’s major oil producing region contributing 70 per cent of total production, is relatively at peace after years of militant attacks, truce and now almost a lasting solution. “The amnesty programme implemented earlier by late President Yar’adua for MEND members was a huge success with an attendant improvement in crude oil production to 2.1 mbpd from the average of 1.86 mbpd pre amnesty declaration in 2009.” Rewane said that with the new record production level of 2.7mbpd, it is uncertain whether the spike is sustainable. He said that the

to $60 billion, covering over 10 months of import cover, adding that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) may allow the naira to appreciate sharply to N145 to a dollar, to compensate for the substantial increase in oil revenue. However, he said that the outlook for Nigeria’s crude oil production is positive. “The combined effect of the relative peace in the Niger Delta region and the likely passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) will result in an increase in oil production, above the current trend of 2.1mbpd on average, in the short run,” he said. Rewane also forecast an average production of 2.45

mbpd for the rest of the year. The impact of this, he said, will spike an increase in oil revenue by 20 per cent; an accretion in external reserves to $42.5 billion, and a reduction in fiscal deficit to an estimate of 2.5 per cent. The overall impact, he said will be a sharp appreciation in the naira to N152 to N153 to a dollar. He explained that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) attributed the hike to a sharp reduction in oil theft. “Oil theft and pipeline vandalism (or leakages), is a fall out of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) struggle for resource control and environmental protection,” he added.

ICAN absolves members of corrupt practices

HE Institute of Char tered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) has absolved professional accountants from the spate of corruption in Nigeria. It said that professional accountants have strict code of ethics, discipline and enforcement that would not allow them to stray from best practices. Chairman, Ikeja District Society of ICAN (IDSICAN), Mr. Patrick Sanni (FCA), yesterday said that there were several unregistered accountants who are not under the ethics and discipline of ICAN thus making it diffi-

cult for the body to checkmate their activities. He spoke at the flag-off of IDSICAN–a multi-event programme to mark the 30th anniversary of the society. Sanni said ICAN has strict ethical guidelines and active disciplinary process that would not allow professional accountants to deviate from laid-down best practices as any indictment could lead to removal of such member from the institute. According to him, ICAN is passionate about ensuring that things are done right and the institute has always

The anniversary lecture, which would be delivered by deputy governor, operations, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Tunde Lemo, is scheduled for next week Thursday at the Lagos Airport Hotel, under the chairmanship of Honourable Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Yerima Ngama.

been a strong advocate for good governance in both public and private sectors. To stem the tide of corruption, Sanni advised the government and businesses to ensure that accountants managing their financial assets are professionals registered with ICAN rather than persons parading themselves as accountants because of some unrecognised certifications. He explained that the theme of the 30th anniversary: the imperatives and realities of cashless policy, was carefully cho-

He said Stanbic IBTC Bank’s customers will not be exposed to the risks associated with the non-banking activities of the other businesses of the group. “A major reason for adopting the new structure is to consolidate on our goal of building Nigeria’s leading end-to-end financial services organisation, leveraging on our competitive advantages in the various business segments, supported by the financial resources and global network of Standard Bank Group, to which Stanbic IBTC belongs,” Peterside said.

TRUTH IN DEFENCE OF FREEDOM VOL. 7,

S a result of a long period of reflection, the President and his adminis-

SEGUN GBADEGESIN

tration came to the realisation that our nation condition demands a focused effort to attract divine intervention. No one can fault this reasoning. The evidence is all around us that this nation of intelligent human beings is slowly but steadily inching towards anarchy and self-destruction. Some may actually contend that we are not just approaching such scenario, we are indeed already there. We are on the same page: the state of the nation is dire. And since we are a nation of intense spirituality, prayer of intercession is in order. The administration has moved the discourse a notch higher the divine plane. If this nation truly was the creation of the divine being, there must be a fundamental way in which that being has a hand in the various occurrences, natural and human, that have overwhelmed us since the dawn of the republic. Indeed, there must be a divine inspiration for our national anthem. It doesn’t really matter that we discarded the original anthem in favour of a new one. That decision itself was divinely ordained. And what better approach than turn our national face up unto the one who inspired the words of the anthem in the first place? The national anthem is capable of interceding for the nation. We have always anticipated this eventuality. The lyric of the second stanza of our anthem, like the last stanza of the discard anthem, is in fact a prayer: O God of creation Direct our noble cause Guide thou our leaders right Help our youth the truth to know In love and honesty to grow And living just and true Great lofty heights attain To build a nation where Peace and justice shall reign. The inspiration for the decision to use these words at every national occasion instead of, or in addition to, prayers and supplications by priests, priestesses, and clerics of all faith, may have to do with our new awareness of our secularism or our understanding of the efficacy of the words that supposedly bind us. I cannot fault the reasoning; indeed I applaud it, provided that we pay special attention to, and inter-

nalise the meaning of, the words that we give voice to as we say our new national prayer. The only way we can be assured of answered prayer is that each time we say these words, we are reminded of our shortfall, our omissions, our inadvertent or deliberate breaches, and make amends. First, what is “our noble cause” that we invoke the God of creation to direct? I assume that the answer to this question comes in the last two lines of the stanza: to build a nation where peace and justice shall reign. This is right on target. We are in the business of nation building. The anthem that we discarded spoke eloquently about our diversity in terms of “tribe and tongue.” And while it may have been too optimistic about where we were at the dawn of independence, with the suggestion that we

stood in unity, it was an honest declaration of our background and aspiration. The question is this: have we paid special attention to what we are asking the God of creation to help us do? If we are about the building of a nation where peace and justice shall reign—the fundamental task of any such entity as ours—what do we need to do? Surely, we ask God for wisdom. But are we listening to the silent but firm advice from God? Or do we have a presumption of our own wisdom while at the same time we pretend dependence on divine wisdom? Assume for a moment that indeed it was God’s will that Nigeria as a country be created. One possible defense of this claim is that without God nothing is possible, a fatalistic assumption that belies reason-

ing since indeed it makes God responsible for everything including the most indefensible human atrocities. But that is another issue. So let us entertain this assumption. What does it leave us? Surely we can allow that God also gave us the wisdom and intellect to work for the improvement of ourselves and our conditions. Traditional worldviews in our various tongues confirm this belief. I was created; but I must recreate myself. The process of recreation speaks to the naturalness of self-improvement. We have done some of these in the last fiftytwo years. But we have also retrogressed and refused to do the needful, even when there is abundant evidence that we are jeopardising the success of building a nation where peace and justice shall reign. The worst culprit in all these is the ego of the political class for whom self-interest stands in the way of divine intervention. It appears that when they mouth these words in the hallowed chambers of the villa of the National Assembly, they do so halfheartedly, injecting some words that suggest to God to tarry a bit to allow their will and not His will to be done. Consider this. If for the sake of self-interest, we politicise important national security decisions, we are sowing the seed of total collapse and disintegration. That does not bode well for building a nation where peace and justice shall reign. But God is not responsible for that outcome. The most fundamental issues still has to do with the approach to recreating ourselves. We have pretended too much and for too long that all is well and that we can patch up here and there and still do okay. With this mindset, we are not going to succeed in building a nation where peace and justice reign since there are a number of injustices that cry for redress and without justice there can be no peace. What it all boils down to then is this. Let us complement our prayers with necessary work that the scriptures enjoin. We are blessed with good judgment to build up and not allow our selfish interests to stand in the way of our prayers. As you say these words of our national anthem in your formal prayers, be reminded that it takes a good deal of dedication to build a nation; it is an everyday endeavor where citizens are encouraged to see the maze of actions that indeed leadership is honest in its intentions. •For comments, send SMS to 08057634061

If Okupe is not an attack dog, what is he then?

O

This is simply an ACT of INGRATITUDE

NO. 2,213

‘What we have in profusion are ‘statesmen’ that forsake their own personal conscience in pursuit of selfish agenda, and if they are not quickly checked, they may lead the country on a path of devastating chaos and corporate perfidy’ MOBOLAJI SANUSI

N the day he was formally introduced to the State House Press Corps as the new Special Assistant on Public Affairs to President Goodluck Jonathan, Dr Doyin Okupe, a physician and former Spokesman to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, tried to spread a veneer of nobility on a job many think is at bottom superfluous. With barely disguised snicker he had told the press: “Somebody said Okupe has been hired as an attack dog; if President Jonathan hires a 60-year-old man as attack dog, then he is employing a weak attack dog. I am not an attack dog. My job basically is public advocacy.” Why anyone would describe the eminent physician as an attack dog is difficult to say. Could it be because he in fact acted as presidential attack dog during the Obasanjo presidency, or because he is naturally irrepressible, is good at sniffing controversy, and barks most ardently and irreverently? What cannot be doubted, however, is that the Jonathan presidency is assailed on all fronts by critics and political opponents who do not shy away from trouble or controversy. It is possible the President felt his government was not responding effectively enough to opposition mudslinging as bizarrely as he would have liked, or at least dirty enough to keep his enemies occupied. It is also possible that the president felt his

own aides were too cosmopolitan and urbane to join the president’s critics in a mud fight. In any case, Dr Okupe has come to fill a gap – and it hardly matters whether it is as an attack dog or just plain attack man. On the day of his public presentation, he spoke as a propagandist anxious to proclaim the praise of his new employer. He was his pushy, eager and brazen self. Whenever he exhibited these three qualities, he showed his best part. But barely 10 days later, and having easily forgotten he had deprecated the attack dog label on the day of his canonisation, Okupe swung into the ferocious mould by taking on Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly Church, and Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and selfconfessed gadfly. Both gentlemen are top political leaders in the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) and ardent and relentless critics of Jonathan. And both, it turned out, had recently called for the President’s resignation on account of the unending Boko Haram terrorist attacks in many parts of the North. Bakare, Okupe sneered, was disgracing and demeaning the pulpit, and undermining it with inappropriate prophecies. ElRufai, whom he patronisingly described as his younger brother and someone he respected, was being “derailed or deranged

by politics.” You could forgive Okupe for using unfitting and exaggerated words against the President’s enemies; he is, after all, a physician who probably sees words as scalpels. But you could not miss the sense in his attacks, nor the motives. He admittedly said a few sensible things when he talked to the press on Wednesday, but largely, he was in attack mould – excoriating, brutally frank and, as usual, carried away both by his own natural and unrepressed tendency for melodrama, and the inflated feeling that sometimes overwhelms a new employee unreservedly surrendering his soul to his new employer. Dr Okupe self-deprecatingly described himself on July 31 as a weak attack dog at 60, if indeed he was an attack dog at all. On August 8, he answered the question of whether he was an attack dog, for no dog ever barked or bit as ferociously as he did to Bakare and el-Rufai on Wednesday in Abuja. The Jonathan presidency will now finally exhibit some of the nostalgic tendencies Alhaji Wada Nas brought to the infamous regime of the late Gen Sani Abacha. More curiously, we wait to see how Okupe and the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, will walk the tightrope of speaking for the President without one of the two falling headlong to the ground.
