CBN refuses to devalue Naira, plans PAVE

Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Mr. Goodwin Emefiele has restated that the CBN will not devalue the Naira anytime soon to revive the falling economy.

He said that the Bank has had to depreciate the currency from N155 to N197 in February, recalling that even President Mohammdu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had also re-echoed the position of the CBN.

Emefiele however stated that the CBN would soon launch a policy called PAVE meaning “Produce locally, add value  and export your product and earn your foreign exchange  for your imports” to help local industries.

He spoke to State House Correspondents after a meeting on the economy with the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo at the presidential villa on Friday.

He said: “There has been a lot of talk on whether or not we want to depreciate our currency again.

The truth is that we had adjusted the currency by depreciating it from N155 to N197 in February this year.There is no intention to depreciate or adjust the currency any longer.

“The President has been very clear on this. The Vice President has been very clear on this and let me further reiterate our position at the Central Bank of Nigeria that we are not considering any further depreciation of the currency.

“What we are trying to concentrate on right now is how to improve and deepen the foreign exchange market by improving supply of foreign exchange into the market.

And to do so, we are trying to encourage people to export and earn your export proceeds and use your export proceeds to import whatever you need to import.

We are also concentrating on how to reduce the import of items that we can produce in the country today.

“So that is our focus. I’m saying and very soon the CBN will be launching a campaign called PAVE, which means “Produce locally, add value  and export your product and earn your foreign exchange  for your imports’’ because this is the only way we can support the efforts of CBN in intervening and providing foreign exchange in the market to meet the import needs of our people.

“It is very clear, what we need to do is reduce our propensity to import but we will not depreciate our currency. For now we will not.”

The governor also revealed that the CBN was working a list to exclude a number of items from foreign exchange market.

“First of all, the CBN does not have the power to ban the import of any item.

What we have done is to exclude certain items that are imported into the country from obtaining foreign exchange from the Nigerian foreign exchange market.

“Yes, it is also true we held a stakeholders’ meeting with the organized private sector and prominent and leading private sector stakeholder were at that meeting.

“It was not meant for the press. The purpose of that meeting was to engage the private sector to make the private sector understand that government realizes that they are engine of growth and we also used the opportunity to explain to them the basis and purpose of those policies that we have introduced and at the end of that meeting they were very happy, they saw our position and indeed at the end of that meeting some of them in fact  provided us with the names of some items that should be included in the list that should be excluded from foreign exchange.

“And I must confess that at this stage given the determination of some of the organized sectors to say that yes, they produce these items and that we should exclude those items from foreign exchange.

We are reviewing that list and we may in due course include more items products that can be produced in Nigeria in the list of items that will be excluded from foreign exchange in the Nigerian foreign exchange market”, he said.

Meanwhile he Naira on Friday depreciated further at the parallel market amidst intense regulation of the activities of operators of the Bureau de Change (BDCs) by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The currency lost N0.5 to the dollar as it exchanged for N226.5, as against its previous value of N226.

The official exchange rate at the interbank window remained at N197 to the dollar.

Traders at the parallel market attributed the recent depreciation of the naira to the apex banks further tightening of the conditions of operation of the BDCs, making more people to access forex at the parallel market.

They said that the CBN now required operators of the BDCs to show the name of the person/company buying forex, his Bank Verification Number (BVN) and his ticket, if he was travelling. )

Wickedness of neighbours pushed me into robbery-suspect(Photo)

One of three armed robbery suspects paraded by the police in Lagos, Babatunde Segun, aged 21, who resides in Ayobo, a suburb of Lagos, has confessed that wickedness and selfishness of neighbours and people he met in Lagos pushed him to armed robbery.

His accomplices are Bala Mohammed, 19, and Toheed Ashimiyu, 18, from Lafenwa community in Ogun State.

According to the police, the three-man gang were wheelbarrow pushers before they allegedly embraced armed robbery for quick money. They specialised in tearing down the mosquito nets on windows and doors of victims who are mostly tenants in ‘face me I face you’ rooms, one bedroom and parlour arrangement, rooms with facilities en suite called ‘self-contained apartment’,one-bedroom flats, two-bedroom flats, three-bedroom flats and shops

According to the Nation, the source added that the three suspects operated on October 15 at about 3.30 a.m. at Johnson Joseph and Akinlade Streets in the Ashipa area of Ayobo, Lagos. When they reportedly turned into a nuisance with incessant armed robbery criminal activities, the officers and men of Ayobo Police Division captured one of the suspects and transferred him to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).
Explaining the role he played in the affair, the first suspect Babatunde said:

 “It is the wickedness and selfishness of our neighbours and the kind of people we met in Lagos, including hardship that we go through everyday in doing our ‘barrow pushing and the harassment we are subjected to every day by different Task Force who either ask us to pay costly ticket , and outright seizure of our ‘barrow sometimes that pushed us into armed robbery business. If you are hungry, nobody is ready to listen to you not to talk of helping you with a loaf of bread.”

The second suspect, Bala, said:
 “We are not armed robbers. We don’t carry guns. We carry cutlass just to force victims to submit whenever they want to attack us. Normally, our victims do not know that we are operating because we do it quietly. It’s only those who don’t sleep deeply that see us sometimes and we run away without challenging  them. We don’t even like to do anything that can awaken them to avoid alerting neighbours that we are operating.”

The third suspect, Toheed, said:
“My brothers refused to help me so I decided to push ‘barrow to do ‘kaya’ work at Alaba International Market area and other areas I could get load to carry.”
It was the Indian hemp that we normally smoke before we start work and at close of work that made me to join Babatunde and Bala to form net-tearing gang. I had wanted to stop but the phones and money we used to get in every operation made net-tearing work better than ‘barrow pushing.”

A woman stripped na ked and braved the autumnal weather on rooftop for four  hours as a piece of unusual performance art .

Puzzled passers-by couldn't believe their eyes when they spotted the nu dist high above London's East End.
The artist, Poppy Jackson, was making the disrobed demonstration as part of an arty installation.

One witness, 29-year-old Raquel Rodrigues, was one of those taken aback by the strange sight.
She told the Evening Standard :

"I don't know how she got away with it - if I was walking around na ked I'd be arrested.
"There are lots of businesses around, people were having a peek and then going back to work."

A description of the performance claims it "investigates questions relating to temporality, the body in site, representation and gender through consideration of the use of the body in performance as an activist practice".

Robbers force LAUTECH students to have se x with one another

A student of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State has narrated how robbers invaded their hostel,raping them and forcing them to have se x with each other..In tears,Bimbola (not real name) agreed to narrate her ordeal to a Punch correspondent last Monday.

What she passed through in August was painful, unimaginable and dehumanising. In fact, she might not be able to forget that night in her life.Ever since the incident, everything about her has changed, according to her friend.

In the night of August 13, 2015 – around 12 midnight – she said she and her roommate had returned from a night reading class in preparation for their forthcoming exam in November, locked their room and were about to sleep when they heard their hostel mates jamming their doors, screaming and walking up the hostel stairs.
Before they knew what was happening, the men were at their door and expectedly, they forced the door open.

 “Come out now or we will kill you,” she recalled what the men told her and her roommate, and with fear and trembling, the girls did their bidding.
Three hefty fearful-looking men, clad in black polos and jeans, armed with guns, machetes and axes had stormed their hostel – located in the Under G Area of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso, Oyo State – and demanded that all the students, both male and female, should gather in one room.
While one of the hoodlums stayed with the students, pointing guns at them should they ‘misbehave,’ the other two locked the entrance to the hostel, ransacked all rooms one after the other, stole the students’ laptops, money, debit cards, tablets and mobile phones.

But even after stealing all their property, the robbers were not done. The next command they gave the students was what Bimbola has not yet got over with.

She narrated,
 “They raped some girls in our presence, but not only that, they asked us to start having sex with ourselves. They called from among us a guy and a girl and asked them to have sex with themselves, right in everybody’s presence. They threatened to use their weapons on us if we didn’t cooperate. Then they asked all of us to strip naked. Since it was in the night, most of us ladies already had only our night gowns on, while most of the guys were just putting on boxers. They said we should all be naked. When they were satisfied, they called another pair of students to do the same thing and told everybody to watch.
“For about three hours, they dehumanised us, humiliated us. Unfortunately, nobody in the next hostel knew what was going on; if anyone knew, they would have helped us to call the police or the Student Union Government officials.”
But what was more pathetic about Bimbola’s story was that she didn’t just witness the whole action; she was also asked to have sex with a guy she never dated.
 “Everything happened like it was a dream. They pointed at a guy I knew as my junior and asked him to do ‘it’ with me. When I refused, they slapped me and I fell. I had no option than to do it. I looked at my roommate and she was already shedding tears for me. How humiliated I was!” she cried.
She further told our correspondent,
 “It was not a night to remember. I wish I could erase it from my memory. My friend and I returned to the hostel that night after reading in the school because our exam is fast approaching. If I knew something like that would happen, I would have stayed in the school till the morning, but I needed to prepare for the following day’s work. I had just finished having a shower when my roommate and I observed something was wrong. There was no light, so we couldn’t see properly, but we observed that our hostel mates were all jamming their doors at some men’s command.
“They cramped all of us in one of the rooms upstairs and we were all frightened. My parents are not yet aware of this incident and I don’t wish to share it with anyone again. I only agreed to speak to you because my friend here encouraged me to and I feel something should be done by the authorities concerned to stop this barbarism. I know I’ll be fine soon.”

Since July when they resumed for the semester, the students of LAUTECH have been witnessing robbery attacks and rape by the same set of unknown men – who call themselves ‘Three MOPOLs’ each time they barge into their victims’ hostels.

The Welfare Officer of the Student Union Government of the institution, Ridwan Okedara, said he could not count the number of calls he had received ever since the incident started occurring in July up till about two weeks ago. He said it was unfortunate that the hoodlums had yet to be apprehended.

He said,
“I’ve received calls in the past four months almost every passing night about this incident. Victims and eyewitnesses usually say the robbers were always three and they would tell them they were the ‘Three MOPOLS,’ but we are not sure if they are not even more than that. For instance, there were some nights when I received calls that the robbers were operating in the Adenike Area (a popular students’ residential area near the school) and I would quickly call our security officers to go to the said hostel, but few minutes later, I would receive a call that they were operating somewhere else.
“Before the security people could get there, the robbers would have left and we would hear they had started operating somewhere else. We don’t know their tactics yet. From what we have heard from eyewitnesses, they would enter a hostel, pretend as if they were looking for somebody and before the students knew it, they would threaten them with guns and machetes and ask all of them to be inside one particular room after collecting their phones, laptops and money. They ask the students to strip off their clothes – both male and female, then ask them to start having sex with themselves. They could call a male from say 200 Level and ask him to have sex with say a 400 Level female student.
“These robbers rape our students and then ask the students to have sex with themselves. We’ve heard a case when the robbers used white handkerchiefs to wipe the private parts of the students after the act. We are also suspecting ritualism here. They go to hostels anytime from 8pm to 1am and from eyewitnesses’ accounts, there was usually no light anytime the hoodlums carried out their operation.”
This is exactly what another victim of robbery in September by the same

The other victim who spoke with our correspondent said,

“It was very dark and there was no light to see their faces when they came to our hostel. They told us they were the ‘Three MOPOLS,’ and mere looking at them, we could not imagine how they were able to gain entry into our hostel and ordering all of us to go inside one room. We were told to take off our clothes and they raped some of the girls. They didn’t rape me and they didn’t ask me to have se x with anyone, but they stole my laptop and phone. It was traumatic. It was like experiencing hell that night.”

Nigeria is broke: we can't afford to pay all 36 ministers- Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said not all the 36 nominees would be ministers as some of them would only sit in the cabinet in order to meet the constitutional provision of a cabinet having 36...He also revealed there is no money to pay all the ministers because Nigeria is broke,,

Buhari made his stance known interview he granted the Nigerian Television Authority and Channels TV shortly before he left India..

Buhari said,
 “There was no reduction (of ministers) to 36. What the constitution says, and we cannot work outside the constitution, is that there must be a cabinet representative from each state.Yes, there used to be 42 ministers, I think we will be lucky if we can have half of that now because we cannot afford it.Others may not be substantive ministers but they will sit in the cabinet because that is what the constitution says and we cannot operate outside the constitution.”

When asked whether he will reduce the number of ministers, Buhari said, 
“Of course! Unless you can volunteer to be paying them (ministers).”

On the criteria used in compiling his ministerial nominees, the President explained
“I have just talked about Nigerians, especially the elite, sitting and reflecting on serious national issues.“How many times did I attempt to be the President of Nigeria? How many times did I end up in the Supreme Court? Does is it mean every time, I don’t know people in this country?I know people who we were going together but fell by the wayside because it was too tough. You know I contested in 2003, 2007, 2011. I think Nigerians should stop taking things for granted as far as we are concerned,” he said.

When the President was asked to react to the claim that his administration is slow in the development of infrastructure, Buhari said

 “Where is the money? You must have known that the Federal Government had to help 27 of the 36 states to pay salaries.
“Nigeria cannot pay salaries. The Federal Government itself had to summon the governor of the Central Bank to see how it would pay salaries not to talk of the agreements we signed with foreign countries, counterpart funding and so on.
“This country was materially vandalised and morally so and you are in a position to know even more than myself unless you are testing my knowledge whether I know it or not.”
When asked to be categorical on whether the country is broke, Buhari replied, 
“Of course, Nigeria is broke.”

A Russian passenger plane carrying 224 people crashed on Saturday in Egypt’s restive Sinai Peninsula, Egyptian officials said.

A “Russian civilian plane… crashed in the central Sinai,” the office of Prime Minister Sharif Ismail said in a statement.

A senior aviation official said the plane was a charter flight operated by a Russian company carrying 217 passengers and seven crew members. Communication with the aircraft was lost, he added.

Sergei Lzvolsky, an official with the Russian aviation agency Rosaviatsia told Interfax news agency that the plane had departed Egypt’s Red Sea resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh at 5:51 am local time (03:51 GMT).

He said the aircraft did not make contact as expected with air traffic controllers in Cyprus, and “since then the plane has not made contact and has not appeared on radars”.

“Prime Minister (Ismail) is expected to meet the concerned ministries and competent authorities to follow up on the accident of the Russian civilian plane that fell in central Sinai,” Egyptian premier’s office said.

Breaking News: Drama as A-Court panel disagree over Saraki’s trial

The propriety of the 13-count criminal charge against the Senate President, Dr. Olubukola Saraki has created a sharp division among Appeal Court Justices.

Whereas Justice Moore Adumein dismissed the appeal that was lodged by Saraki as lacking in merit, another member of the panel, Justice ‎ J.E. Ekanem upheld the appeal, declaring the charge before the CCT as incompetent.

Justice Ekanem specifically quashed the charge and discharged Saraki on the basis that the Deputy Director at the Ministry of Justice, M. M. S. Hassan who signed the charge, did not specify who authorised him to initiate the ‎criminal proceeding.

“A look at the charge showed that Mr. Hassan instituted the action pursuant to section 24 of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, 2004 which permits only the Attorney General of the Federation to initiate criminal proceedings”.

Justice Ekanem stressed that though the constitution permits the Solicitor-General of the Federation, SGF, to commence criminal action in the absence of the AGF, he said that Hassan failed to produce any document showing that he was properly authorised by th‎e SGF.

“The opening paragraph of the letter Hassan sent to the CCT on September 11, wherein he applied to commence trial against the appellant is very instructive.

“He merely said ‘ I am authorised to file this action’ but did not say that he was authorised by the Solicitor-General. He went short of identifying who authorised him.

“It is therefore my view that the charge before the tribunal is incompetent. It is for this view that I hold that this appeal has succeeded and I hereby set-aside the charge and discharge the accused person”, ‎Justice Ekanem held.

However, the third member of the panel , Justice M. Mustapha, concurred with the lead verdict which declined to quash the charge against Saraki.

Earlier, leader of the panel, Justice Adumein dismissed Saraki’s appeal, saying he should go to the tribunal to answer the charge against him.

He held that Justice Danladi Umar-led tribunal was properly constituted to try the offences against Saraki, noting that he was not charged in his official capacity, but as an individual.

‎Justice Adumein placed reliance on paragraph 15(1) of the Fifth Schedule to the 1999 Constitution and section 20(2) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act, 2004, ‎and held that the two-man panel of Justices at the tribunal formed a quorum to entertain the charge.

“The above provisions are very clear and unambiguous and should be given their ordinary meaning. This is in line with ‎the golden rule of interpretation. There is no provision on minimum number of members which the tribunal must have before it can sit to hear cases”.

Justice Adumein held that the charge was competently instituted, saying the tribunal had the requisite powers to issue bench warrant against Saraki.

He dismissed all five grounds of appeal that Saraki filed before the court for want of merit.

Saraki had gone before the appellate court to query the legality of the charge against him.

He was among other offences, alleged to have owned and operated foreign bank accounts while being a public officer.

However, aside challenging the charge, Saraki also queried the constitutionality of the warrant of arrest that was initially issued against him by Chairman of the CCT, Justice Umar.

Besides, the embattled Senate President, through his team of lawyers led by a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN, wants the higher court to ascertain whether the Justice Umar-led panel subscribed to the appropriate legal procedure when ‎it ordered him to mount the dock and enter his plea to the charge despite preliminary objections against his trial.

He described the criminal proceeding that was initiated against him by the Federal Ministry of Justice as‎ “a politically motivated witch-hunt”.

He begged the appellate court to quash the proceeding of the tribunal and discharge him, a request that was refused by two members of the appeal court panel today.

More details soon.

I’ll never sacrifice my paradise for 5mins se x – Dare Melody

Gospel singer, Dare Odunuga popularly called Dare Melody who was reportedly accused of seeing a Lagos-based society woman has denied the allegation.

A soft-sell magazine published in Yoruba recently alleged that the gospel singer was engaged in adultery with a Lagos-based society woman. The publication went ahead to say that the woman in question donated a Hummer Jeep to Melody’s band.

But reacting to the report, weeks after it made headlines, the gospel singer said,  it was the handiwork of his enemies who were sponsoring such a report.

According to him,”Every sincere gospel artiste relies on God and his fans. I will never sacrifice my paradise for a five minutes enjoyment outside my marriage.”

The gospel singer said, it’s his desire to follow the path of his mentors by delivering uncompromising messages through my songs. “My mentors Daddy Adeboye, Daddy Ayewa, Daddy Kalejaye, Pastor Matthew Asimolowo among others have never been caught in such act. I will never betray my oath before my creator,’’

He urged journalists to verify their facts before going to the press, declaring that  “I seize this medium to say that I am happily married and my wife knows 90 per cent of my clients.’’

Se x And Love: 6 things every woman should know about men and se x etiquette

There is this unspoken but common behaviour where women stay subdued and reactive in the bedroom, leaving the man to call all the shots – when to have se x, where to have se x and how to have se x...

Too many people have too many wrong perceptions about attraction and se x…

In a man-woman relationship, there is this tendency, usually on the female part, to let the other person take over…including in the bedroom

Especially among African (Nigerian) women, there is this unspoken but common behaviour where women stay subdued and reactive in the bedroom, leaving the man to call all the shots – when to have se x, where to have se x and how to have se x.

It is even gets worse… many women will not say anything about their desires, fantasies and preferences in the bedroom.

The result of this is that most women get far less than they deserve from se x, cheated out by themselves and their selfish men.

So, to end this trend, Wha’anda brings you 6 se x etiquettes that will make se x more rewarding, participatory and complete for couples.

Here we go…

1. When men are aro used, they hardly notice your flaws – many women are too body conscious. They hold back when having se x because they think the man is focused on their body flaws. But the truth is that, during se xual aro usal, neurochemical rush men feel so grips the man that he is too ‘high’ to see all those inconsequential flaws. So loosen up and enjoy the experience…

2. Se x can sometimes be painful – it is not every time that you feel pain during se x that something is terribly wrong. Sometimes, it just might be inadequate lub rication, dryness in the vag ina or you’re mentally not ready. If the pain is regular, then you might need to see a doctor.

3. During se x, a man’s body is more than his pe nis – many women find it hard to completely ar ouse their men because they focus only on his pe nis, thinking that is where it all begins and ends. This is wrong, touch his other parts like his lips, neck, ear lobes, chest, back, nape, inner thighs and groin. All these parts should be touched and loved…

4. Men love women who take charge in the bedroom – yes, men love to be the bosses. But men also like women who are proactive more than those who let them doing all the initiating. As a woman, it is a turn on to do things to him, show him you want, whisper in his ear, demonstrate and juts take charge…

5. It is normal to want more and more se x – the truth is that se x is addictive, such that the more you have it the more you’ll want it. This doesn’t make you abnormal because se xual urge is normal. So just enjoy it and don’t allow misplaced guilt to spoil the moment…

6. Touching yourself during se x us okay – many women believe that touching themselves during se x is a sign of being ‘bad’ and so they resist the urge. But many men find it a major turn-on when the woman touches herself during se x. So doing it will help you find release and help your man get even more aro used…

In addition to the above, it is advisable that you make sure you are mentally and physically ready to have se x before you get into the bedroom so that you don’t end up being mechanical.

If you can, first take some time out for yourself to clear your head and get off the edge from the day's stress.

You could have a quick shower and rest a little before the action….

Meet the 6 year old born with her heart outside her chest

Six-year-old Virsaviya Borun  was born with her heart and intestines outside her chest.Virsaviya, a native of Russia who recently moved to South Florida with her mother, suffers from multiple birth defects caused by Pentalogy of Cantrell - a rare congenital condition that occurs in estimated 5.5 in one million live births.
Her intestines are also outside her body and she has no abdominal muscles or a diaphragm.
'When I was pregnant, the doctor said she will not survive, that she is going to die,' the girl's mother, Dari Borun, told NBC

But the medical team in Boston said Virsaviya cannot undergo surgery at the moment because she has high blood pressure in her pulmonary aorta.

The girl will be evaluated again in two years to determine if it would be safe for her to undergo an operation.
Ms Borun has appealed to the public for help, asking for donations to help her cover her daughter’s medical bills and basic living expenses, saying she has very limited means, being a single mother of a special-needs child, and no other family in the US.

The mother and daughter have since moved from Boston to Hollywood, Florida, because Virsaviya is unable to live in a cold climate.

GOV OKOWA DISTRIBUTES FISH INPUTS TO AFFECTED CAMP 74 FISH FARMERS-Jonathan Onwuka

As part of efforts to boost agricultural productivity and generate wealth for the people, the Delta State goverment, through its Production and Processing Support Programme ( PPSP ), Friday, 30th October, 2015, distributed hundreds of bags of fish feeds and fingerlings to fish farmers in the state.

Before formally handing over the farm inputs to the fish farmers, the Delta State Governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, who was represented by Prof. Eric Eboh, Chairman, Delta State Job Creation Scheme, said the major focus of his administration is agriculture. He maintained that farmers in the state would be given priority attention in policy initiative and implementation.

According to the governor, "the present administration is very serious and fully committed to revamping the agricultural sector. We are poised to giving needed support to those engaged in agricultural activities. This government is dedicated to the course of farmers to assist them in their efforts to boost the economy of the state."
The governor stressed that, "what we are doing today is part of government's deliberate effort to shift attention from oil to agriculture, as a means of creating employment and generating wealth for our people," and assured that, "only genuine farmers would be given the required materials and assistance by government."

Governor Okowa disclosed that the state government has already put measures in place to identify and monitor genuine farmers in the state. He added that the government has the data base of all fish farmers in the state, adding that the government would continue to monitor their (farmers) activities to ensure proper utilisation of the materials given to them.

Also speaking, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on New Media, Patriot Dantes Odogwu, said the Okowa administration was determined to boost the wellbeing of Deltans through agriculture and urged for continued support for the administration.

Mr. Alex Osemeke, who spoke on behalf of the beneficiaries, expressed appreciation to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, for supporting farmers in the state. He assured that they will not disappoint the governor, even as he prayed for the success of the administration.

Some of the beneficiaries, which include; Mrs Peace Ngozi Obi, Mr. Okocha Oge, Mr. Kachikwu Adimmabua, all thanked the governor for the agricultural support programme of his administration.

Foundation advocates new devt initiative for S/East

The Igbo Youth Empowerment Foundation, IYEF, a South East advocacy group, has sought for the promotion of community development as a viable model to support government intervention initiative in advancing development in the region.

The group said the call had become necessary to close the yawning infrastructure gap in the South East.

Addressing the media in Lagos, Chairman of IYEF, Mr. Bright Ezeocha said the foundation was found to champion empowerment and development of the South East region.

Ezeocha called for widespread mobilization of successful Igbo entrepreneurs to think of how to pool resources and tackle some of the key challenges militating against development of the region.

He said: “In the past, communities usually mobilize themselves to embark on road construction. I recall when we were in school, the Imo State government mobilized indigenes of the state by creating special levy for the construction of the Imo airport. The Imo Airport was built through the effort of the people, and I recalled while in school we were asked to pay airport development levy.”

He said such patriotism could be replicated in some of the areas that require urgent attention, adding, “for instance, the sea port, which the region had agitated for over the years, could commence through spirited efforts of large entrepreneurs.

“The foundation aims at creating a platform and engagement process that will mobilize support of the people and also create synergy among other interest groups in the region. One of the key problems of the region is divided interests and lack of harmony among groups and individuals and if we can come together and speak as one entity, then we can achieve a lot in terms of empowering our people.

Speaking further, Ezeocha said though he had not totally lost hope in governance, over the years successive administrations seem to have neglected the region and abandoned critical aspects of development.

He said the people can take destiny in their hands than waiting perpetually for government intervention adding that from the body language of the present administration, the Igbos should expect less in government intervention.

On the agitation for Biafra by MASSOB, Ezeocha said violence is not the solution to any problem but he added that the agitation is being compounded by various other groups like the Zionist movement.

“All these disjointed agitation are not in the interest of the people, we need to harmonise our views and aspirations and there is need to establish a win-win situation. We should aspire to grow the economy of the region, create job and fight restlessness of youths so that at the end we would have succeeded in creating a better society for ourselves” Ezeocha urged.

He however, advised former leaders to show more patriotism and respect for the region by desisting from making uncanny statements on issues bothering on agitation for Biafra.

“While we seek our kinsmen and those in the vanguard of recreation of the Biafra Republic, to be cautious in their approach, we still need to caution others to refrain from statements that will ignite tension” he warned.

He said for instance the comment credited to former president Olusegun Obasanjo that government will defeat Boko Haram like Biafra was unfortunate and is capable of opening old wounds.

Ezeocha further said that former head of state Gen. Yakubu Gowon takes advantage of every public function to insult the Igbos over the Biafra war and also bring down the personality of former Biafra leader Gen. Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu.

Picture of beauty queen bowing to her mother by rubbish dump melts hearts

Touching pictures of a stunning beauty queen's humble appreciation as she kneels at her mum's feet next to a row of wheelie bins have gone viral.

After winning the coveted title of Miss Uncensored News Thailand in 2015, Khanittha 'Mint' Phasaeng's reaction was to thank her mother for everything she had done for her.

The 17-year-old returned to her home in Amin, Thailand and got on her knees by the rubbish which her mum makes a living from collecting and recycling.



In Mint's culture, kneeling in gratitude is the highest form of respect, and Mint said that she was never ashamed of working with her mum, who raised her alone, in the rubbish.

She told Drama Fever :

"What I have today is because of my mother. She and I make a living by doing honest work, so there is no reason why I should feel inferior." 

Thanks to the win, Mint has lined up work as a model for advertisements and acting, but she says her mum is unchanged by her success.

"The family will continue to be scavengers. My mother will still go and sort garbage and is not willing to let me help."

I won’t lose sleep over criticism, says Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he will not lose sleep over criticism and that he wants to be remembered as a president who fought corruption to a standstill.

Buhari during a press conference after the India-Africa Summit, which took place in New Delhi, called on Nigerians, who are not corruptly enriching themselves with public funds, not to be afraid of the fight against corruption and that they should encourage him to get whoever had compromised his position and the trust given to him.

Buhari said remained resolute in the fight against corruption and would want to be remembered for that.

Buhari whose government has security, economy and the fight against corruption main focus and is regularly bashed for been slow said “They call me baba go slow, but I will go slow and steady”.

On Racism the president said it is the state of mind of people, individuals which a nation state cannot absolutely control. So I don’t think people should be preoccupied if somebody says ‘get away you black man’ or whatever,” said Mr Buhari.

The President must be bothered that the National Assembly had been polarised following his choice of ministers.

While he was away, the PDP and the All Progressives Congress’ lawmakers were sharply divided over one of his ministerial nominees, Mr Chibuike Amaechi.

Following the confirmation of his ministerial nominees, President Buhari said he would prune down the number of ministries so as to be able to pay salaries.

On whether there will be an extension of a three-month deadline given by his administration to flush out Boko Haram from Nigeria’s north-east, the President said that the target was to get rid of terrorism and not about meeting deadline.

One of the main talking points at the one-day summit in New Delhi, was the provision India had make for African countries. The nation said it had set aside over $10 billion grant for African countries.

Wooing investors, President Buhari assured Indians and the international community of his administration’s commitment to sustaining efforts aimed at making Nigeria an envy of all.

He urged them to avail themselves of the conducive environment that would be created for investments to thrive.

My experience in conducting 2015 polls — Jega

For the first time after conducting the 2015 elections adjudged to be one of the country’s best, former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commissioner, Professor Attahiru Jega, yesterday, spoke about what the commission went through.

Jega, who is now teaching Political Science at Bayero University, Kano, spoke at the first University of Abuja Public Lecture Series with the theme Electoral Reforms in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects.

The former INEC boss said the commission had to contend with unnecessary challenges created by some desperate politicians, who wanted to win election at all cost.

According to Jega, many of the politicians, who he described as ‘militicians’ have a mindset of capturing power through any means, thereby trying to subvert the will of the people.

The former INEC boss said that the commission was able to thwart the antics of the desperate politicians by ensuring effective compliance with the laws and remaining transparent and non-partisan throughout the process.

Jega said: “From my experience, I quite often say that Nigeria has a special breed of politicians (Militicians). They generally tend to believe that political power through elections has to be ‘captured,’ and this has to be done by hook or by crook; and by any means necessary. To them, winning election is, literally, a do-or-die affair.

Minefield

“INEC faced perhaps its greatest challenge in containing the predisposition and reckless mindset of Nigerian politicians. Any wonder then that our political arena increasingly resembled a bloody battlefield, with maiming, killing, burning, and unimaginable destruction of lives and property.

“Navigating the minefield of do-or-die politicians as an impartial electoral umpire required nerves of steel, and we had to quickly muster the requisite thick skin, as well as appropriate containment strategies.

“A series of badly conducted elections could create perpetual political instability and easily reverse the gains of democratization. If adequate care is not taken, badly conducted elections can totally undermine democratization and replace it with authoritarian rule, of the civilian or military varieties.

Slams 2007 elections

“At best, they can install inept and corrupt leadership that can herald, if not institutionalize, bad governance. There are many illustrations or manifestations of this throughout Africa.

“But nowhere is this as amply illustrated as in the Nigerian case, especially between 1999 and 2007.

“The 2007 elections were manifestly the worst in Nigeria’s history, as declared by both domestic and international observers. The EU observer mission, for example, noted that the elections fell ‘short of basic international standards,’ and were characterized by violence and crude use of money to buy votes.

“There was reckless mobilization of ethno-religious cleavages and heightened use of money and thugs to influence results.

“The pre-electoral processes, such as party primaries, were conducted in grossly undemocratic fashion. In many cases, the results were said to have gone to the highest bidder.

“The winner of the presidential election, late President Umaru Yar’Adua, himself admitted on the day of his inauguration that there were serious flaws in the election that brought him to power.

Lists challenges

“There are also other associated challenges. For example, meeting the production deadlines in the production of PVCs was seriously affected by power failures, which damaged equipment, which the vendor could not quickly replace.

“The use of the SCR was constrained by the fact that some polling units were located in areas where there was no Internet coverage.”

Jega lauded President Muhammadu Buhari over the choice of his successor, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, boasting that he would make Nigerian proud with his leadership at INEC.

Shareholders engage Okocha, wife in legal battle

In a renewed legal battle to enforce the judgement of a federal high court sitting in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, delivered nearly two years ago against the former captain of the Super Eagles, Austin Jay-Jay Okocha and his wife Nkechi, shareholders of a limited liability company Jay-Jay Okocha Group West Africa Limited jointly formed with Okocha and his wife, are putting legal machinery in motion to enforce the said judgement.

Since the judgment was delivered on Monday, 24 February, 2014 by Justice Ibrahim Buba, it was alleged that the former soccer star and his wife did not obey the judgement of the court or appeal the judgement. Rather than obeying the judgement or make amicable settlement, they had been dribbling the petitioners.

Apart from Austin Okocha and his wife Nkechi, a limited liability company, Jay-Jay Okocha Group West Africa Limited, is also a defendant in the case.

The company was jointly formed by Okocha and other shareholders namely, Friday Nwankwo Kuja, Ijeoma Kuja, James Chinedu, Daniel Chukwudi, Mary Chioma, and other two companies, African Shelter Sports consult Limited, who are also co-petitioners in the legal battle.

In an affidavit sworn to by a Director and shareholder of Jay-Jay Okocha Group West Africa limited, Friday Nwankwo Kuja and filed before the court by Barrister Caleb Rotimi Oyekola, and also recounted in his evidence, the petitioners who claimed to be shareholders of the company which was incorporated to carry on business as sports promoters, to arrange, organise, finance and present sporting events, alleged that Austin Okocha and his wife Nkechi who are chairman and managing Directors of the company respectively, were conducting the affairs of the company in an illegal and oppressive manner.

Mr. Kuja alleged further that at the formative stage of the company located at 46, Saka Tinubu Street, Victoria Island, Lagos, he spent N63 million while until 2010 he was performing his duties as Executive Director in the affairs of the company diligently and productively.

However, when he started clamouring for an audit of the company’s account in line with the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act to ascertain if the company was making profit and to also enable the company to file its annual returns to the Corporate Affairs Commission, the respondents decided to illegally and unlawfully ease him out from his position as a director in the company contrary to the provisions of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA).

Consequently, the respondents without a valid resolution of the board of directors of the company, conspired to have his properties thrown out of his office without any authorization by the board of directors of the company, whereas himself and other petitioners mentioned earlier are the majority shareholders of the company.

Thereafter all efforts made to convene a general meeting of the company as well as have the accounts of the company audited and preparation of the financial statement of the company were met with strong resistance by Austin Okocha and his wife.

The petitioners alleged further that since the formation and the commencement of operations by the company, the firm has never held a board meeting, neither has there been any general meeting. It was also alleged that the respondents were on the verge of selling off one of the businesses of the company, Club Ten.

In his evidence Mr Kuja told the court that Okocha and his wife without any authorization by a resolution of the Boards of Directors or majority members of the company fraudulently forged a resolution of the board to change the directors of the company and unlawfully forcefully took over the affairs of the company.

In view of all these, the petitioners urged the court not only to restrain Austin Okocha Azuka and his wife from vandalizing or selling off the company but to order that the accounts of the company be audited.

After listening to the submission and argument of Mr Oyekola on behalf of the petitioners, Justice Buba in his judgement, said the reliefs claimed in the petition have merit and are granted as prayed and the court made the following declaration and order:

The petitioners are majority shareholders of the company.

A declaration that the alteration of the change of directors of the company without the resolution of the Board of Directors is illegal, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

An order of the court directing the immediate auditing of the company’s account in line with the provision of CAMA.

An order restraining Okocha Austin Azuka and Okocha Nkechi from managing and running the affairs of the company solely as if it is their personal property.

An order of the court directing that Friday Nwankwo Kuja be made signatory to the account of the company.

A declaration that the manner in which Okocha Austin and Okocha Nkechi are running the affairs of the company is oppressive to the petitioner by sidelining the petitioner especially Friday Nwankwo Kuja, completely from participating in the day to day running of the affairs of the company.

The court also awarde a cost of N20,000 against the respondents.

However, it was alleged that Okocha Austin and his wife who did not file any defence to the suit and have refused to obey the judgement of the court.

OKOWA GIVING A HELPING HAND

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa recently put smiles on the faces of many farmers in Delta State, when he gave out 40 tractors and N30 million to the different farm-based agricultural cooperatives in the state, writes Omon-Julius Onabu

The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) has for long harped on the pivotal place of agriculture in growing the economies of respective African countries where a conservative 70 per cent of the population is engaged in agricultural activities, albeit, at generally subsistent levels. Although, the development initiative of the African Union (AU) has often emphasised the importance of capacity building for farmers through well-funded agricultural research and extension programmes as well as regional and international outlets for envisaged capacities and deliverables.

NEPAD has equally placed high premium on enhanced private and public sector collaboration obviously to shore up valuable investment. Empowerment of the small-scale practitioner through adequate financing has also been highlighted in all the success stories emanating from several African countries reviewed by various local and international agricultural research authorities.

It is, perhaps, in recognition of the need to reorder the process for increasing sectoral deliverables and income through improved capacities and efficiency that the Production and Processing Support Programme (PPSP) of the barely four-month-old administration of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in Delta State, has attracted more than a passing interest among professional analysts as well as local and international observers as an initiative that is a clear departure from several past agricultural programmes in this clime. Not a few appear to be persuaded that Okowa means business with his beyond-oil-economy initiatives and wealth creation interventions.

In this regard, the question on the minds of observers seem to be, would the Okowa administration carry through this exuding determination to radically depart from the politicisation of similar agricultural programmes at the different levels of government? In other words, having apparently chosen to adopt a paradigm shift by "eye-marking" rather than "earmarking" agricultural programmes by partnering only existing farmers, could the Governor summon the political will to go the whole hug?

The governor gave out about 30 tractors and numerous modern farming implements to farmers as well as about N30 million to cooperative societies during the inauguration of the programme.

The foundation for the take-off of the PPSP was apparently consolidated on September 21, 2015 when the Delta State Government signed an agreement with 20 farming-based cooperative groups in Asaba. The deal is for the ownership and management of 45 tractors and their complementary agricultural implements. By the agreement, a benefitting cooperative society is required to pay 40 per cent of the total cost of each tractor and its associated implements, which amounts to N6.2 million. Delta State chief job creation officer, Prof Eric Eboh, explained that the amount would be offset over a four-year period with each of the benefitting cooperative groups required to pay 10 per cent at the commencement of operations to benchmark their respective commitment.

While putting pen to paper on behalf of the Delta State Government, Eboh stressed that the gesture of the Okowa administration was geared towards actualising the vision of allowing farmers to take their destinies in their own hands and explained that the benefitting "cooperatives were painstakingly selected from a pool of 962 farming-based cooperative societies" that initially applied for the support under the state agribusiness empowerment scheme. According to him, the selection process was "very transparent" and that the successful 20 cooperatives were "found capable, credible and fully met the terms of agreement."

The state chief job creation office explained to THISDAY why numerous agricultural cooperative groups that expressed interest failed to meet the basic requirements of running cooperative societies. "This is a wake-up call for those who are promoting cooperatives to go back to the original status of how cooperatives should be run. It is not supposed to be a one-man activity; it is not a sole proprietorship. A cooperative society is made up of 'cooperators', that is the original design. So, you must have people cooperating to have a cooperative society." Nonetheless, the president of one of the benefiting groups, Comrade Jurist Umeri, said that he was satisfied with the terms of agreement and assured that the initiative would particularly encourage youths in the state to venture into agricultural activities.

During the PPSP inauguration on October 7, 2015 in Asaba, the governor gave his administration a tall order by declaring that his ultimate goal was to make Delta State the food basket of the nation, beyond job and wealth creation. He said that he desired to see the state being self-sufficient by feeding the nation. He challenged banks and other financial institutions in Nigeria to help boost the nation's economy by assisting the process of increasing output in agriculture by providing needed funding especially to the small-scale farmers and agric-based organisations. He said that was the panacea to addressing the plethora of problems bedevilling the sector, including poor yields vis-a-vis low income and food insecurity.

"Despite the acknowledgment that agriculture plays a crucial role in driving economic development, inadequate funding has, inexplicably, continued to be recurring decimal as the bulk of our small-scale farmers regrettably do not have access to credit finance and are therefore unable to invest in basic farming inputs such as implements, seedlings and fertilizers.

"Farm yields have remained abysmally low, leading to widespread poverty and stunted economic growth. Our financial institutions must rise up to the challenge of agricultural financing if we are serious about economic diversification and self-reliance. The banking sector must come up with robust credit policies in agriculture that will address credit turnaround time, the recruitment and training of specialist bankers who understand the dynamics of agriculture and agribusiness, especially the fact that they are time and season-bound," Okowa said.

While pointing out that the PPSP was conceived as a means to help overcome the problems of resource scarcity, poor technology and infrastructure deficit, the governor noted that the state was yet to explore the vast potential available to it. "Delta State has not tapped the abundant natural resources, very favourable climatic condition, vast arable land and fertile soil in agribusiness for economic growth, employment creation, import substitution and sustainable development. We will be failing ourselves and the generation coming after us if we are unable to harness the abundant natural resources God has blessed us with and convert it to prosperity for our people."

He then charged the beneficiaries of the PPSP, "Apply yourselves diligently to your business; you must be conscious of the fact that the fortunes of many other people and small-scale businesses are inextricably tied to the success of your respective businesses."

Earlier, Prof Eboh said that the PPSP would facilitate the inputs, equipment, technologies, microcredit and technical assistance to farmers, agro-processors and agricultural value chain operators to increase outputs, productivity and incomes in the true spirit development mantra of the Okowa government, namely "Prosperity for all Deltans."

Eboh, who harped on the creation of a reliable database for farmers as a positive fallout of the initiative, noted, "The impact of PPSP will be on creating jobs and wealth. In addition to the 2,600 direct beneficiaries, the support packages will bring about equivalent number of indirect jobs along the agricultural value chain. Moreover, the public investment will bring an additional 1,000 hectares of arable land into cultivation as well as boost the stocks of fingerlings, poultry and piggery in the state. Overall, the PPSP interventions will, from now through the year-end (December), generate direct and multiplier benefits to the tune of more than N3bn (three billion naira)."

Since taking over the mantle as the state chief executive officer, Governor Okowa has not minced words about his determination to empower a sizable number of citizens in the state through entrepreneurial schemes designed to serve a watershed for job creation. And, in the spirit of diversifying the local economy, his administration has focused on regenerative wealth creation through agricultural production and processing. Accordingly, within one month of coming into office, the governor rolled out a five entrepreneurship schemes targeting at least 6,000 jobs in six months.

Governor Okowa gave insight into the underlying principle and driving force behind what is generally being regarded as a bold initiative to tread the seldom followed path to economic progress divorced from political issue-begging mentality. "While multi-national companies and big corporations get all the public attention and acclaim for their capacity to induce foreign investment capital, MSMEs remain the backbone for economic growth and social development in any society", he noted in his remarks last month during the flag-off of the entrepreneurship training orientation programme at Amukpe, coming on the heels of the Job and Wealth Creation scheme, tagged "OkowaPlus", whose core interests include: Youth Agricultural Entrepreneurs Programme (YAGEP), Skills Training and Entrepreneurship Programme (STEP), Production and Processing Support Programme (PPSP), Development of Agro-Industries and Extension of Microcredit. "Today’s event is undeniable proof that our administration’s S.M.A.R.T. agenda is well and truly on course, because job and wealth creation are the bedrock of the S.M.A.R.T agenda. The entrepreneurship programmes are strategically designed, stringently planned and specifically tailored to tackle the problem of youth unemployment and produce lasting and sustainable prosperity across board.

"While previous programmes sought to prepare people for employment, the Job and Wealth Creation Scheme seeks to produce wealth creators and job creators; critical differences also exist in the selection and screening process, training approach, management system, and collaboration with the organized private sector. This scheme is not your typical empowerment program that is often cash-based; it is a wealth and job creation scheme. It is not about skills acquisition; it is about building a knowledge economy and the overarching goal is to equip participants with the technical know-how, vocational/technical skills, values and resources to become self-employed and employers of labour."

The governor's Communications Manager, Mr. Jackson Ekwugum, says every step Governor Okowa has so far taken in this regard shows "consistency and purposeful focus". Ekwugum told THISDAY that apart from the scores of tractors and numerous related agricultural implements as well as financial aid given out last week under the PPSP, the encouragement given to the authorities of different polytechnics and technical colleges especially in agriculture studies are such pointers. "I'm sure you are also aware of the handsome relief - in cash and kind - given by His Excellency to fish famers in 'Camp 74' whose farms near Asaba were recently ravaged by floods. All this clearly indicates commitment and consistency of the Okowa administration."

The highpoint of the PPSP inauguration included official commissioning of the tractors and various implements by Governor Okowa, the presentation of cheques ranging from two million naira to cooperative societies as well as giving out of tractors and other farm implements to the beneficiaries.
