According to him, there were remarkable improvements in the security situation as regards the war against Boko Haram since 2015 when he assumed leadership of the air force. He noted that, with the combined efforts of the armed forces, supported by other security agencies, territories controlled by the sect were liberated, while many erstwhile displaced persons were able to return to their ancestral homes.

He said: “In 2018, the NAF conducted several air raids in support of the Operation Lafiya Dole, which include Operation Ruwan Wuta III to IV, Operation Thunderstrike I and II as well as Operation Green Sweep.”

On the acquisition and reactivation of aircraft, he disclosed that a total of 16 new aircraft were purchased, while 13 previously grounded aircraft were reactivated, with the reactivation of another two presently in progress.

Diezani N264.8m Bribe: Two INEC Staff Bag 91 Years Jail Term

https://efccnigeria.org/efcc/images/CHRISTIAN_NWOSUN__TIJANI_BASHIR_19.jpg

Justice Mohammed Idris of a Federal High Court, Lagos has sentenced two former staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Christian Nwosu and Tijani Inda Bashir, to an accumulative 91-year jail term after finding them guilty of their involvement in the laundering of N264.8 million in the build-up to the 2015 general elections.


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, had alleged that the money was proceed of unlawful activities, specifically that it was part of the $115 million largesse doled out by a former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke to influence the outcome of the election.

They were re-arraigned by the EFCC on an amended nine-count charge on March 7, 2018.

Justice Idris had on January 24, 2019 convicted them, and fixed sentencing to today, January 25, 2019.

In his ruling, Justice Idris held that: “It is the vision of INEC to serve as an independent and effective election management body that is committed to the conduct of a free, fair and credible election for sustainable democracy in Nigeria.

“These convicts, by their conducts, acted in breach of the said objective and vision of INEC.

“Their actions were a disgrace to the institution.

“INEC officials must be made to understand that their conduct must be conducted within the ambit of the Law and that anyone who breached this Law will be dealt with to the fullest.

“It must be understood that leadership and governance are serious matters that should be handed over to and handled by the most patriotic persons, most informed minds and the brightest brains for purposes of accountability, responsibility and the strength of our nation.

“This country must not be allowed to descend into anarchy and despondency.

“This country cannot afford an unhealthy electoral body.

“As we are going into the forthcoming election, INEC must note that this country deserves a credible election and anyone that acts contrary to the Law, must be dealt with decisively.

“In this regard, the country only needs those with indomitable courage, implacable political will to perform their duties.

“Those who play ignoble roles must be identified and removed immediately.

“The penalty prescribed in Section 15(3) and 16 (2b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act under which the defendants were found liable provides for terms of imprisonment and in some instances options of fine or both.

“In the light of the above the court will temper justice to the extent only permitted by the Law itself.

“Again, a strong message must be sent to INEC that the eyes of the world are on them. The entire nation is watching and those who decide to act contrary to their oath of office will be identified; and when they are identified, they will be prosecuted and if found guilty, will be punished”.

The trial judge, thereafter, sentenced Nwosu to seven years imprisonment on counts one, two and nine; and five years imprisonment on counts three and four.

Inda-Bashir was sentenced to seven years on counts one and two; five years on counts three and four; seven years on counts five, six and seven; eight years on count eight; and seven years on count nine.

The sentences are to run concurrently.

The Court also ordered Nwosu to forfeit to the Federal Government of Nigeria a landed property at Okpanaman in Delta State valued N5 million, another landed property at Okpanaman, Delta State valued at N20 million, and the sum of N5 million raised in favour of the EFCC.

Inda-Bashir was ordered to forfeit to the Federal Government of Nigeria a four-bedroom flat located at 6, Umeh Street, Wise 2, Abuja.

Rastafarianism: A religion or a misunderstood way of life?

Group says theirs is a religion like Christianity and Islam, with strict practices and beliefs, adding that not everyone sporting dreadlocks and chanting 'Jah' is a Rastafarian.

What can take place in a locked house with seven Rastafarians, two journalists and several portraits of Emperor Haile Selassie? A lesson on a “misunderstood” religion, for a start.

In the spacious and well-lit workshop located along Karanja Road in Nairobi’s Kibera, with a smoothly tiled floor and ragged walls that bear a selection of artwork, the Rastafarians welcome Lifestyle into their world.

While many people in Kenya have dreadlocks, chant lines from reggae songs and smoke marijuana, the dedicated small group in the room is at pains to explain that theirs is a religion — like Christianity or Islam — with strict practices. In other words, not everyone sporting dreadlocks and chanting “Jah” (God) is a Rastafarian.

Rastafari is an Africa-centred religion, which can be traced to Jamaica in the 1930s after Haile Selassie I (1892-1975) — referred to as the king of kings, lord of lords, the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah — was coronated as King of Ethiopia.

Many of their teachings are also developed from the ideas of Jamaican activist Marcus Mosiah Garvey. Even though there are no statistics on Rastafarianism in Kenya, a BBC overview puts the global figure of people practising the faith at one million.

The Rastas of Kibera start the interview with a broad background on their faith: belief that blacks are the chosen people, following many Old Testament laws, a strict diet, smoking marijuana, growing dreadlocks, the lion symbol and red-green-gold-and-black colours.

Then they become more specific: there’s a need for more research on marijuana as it is “a harmless natural herb that has been used for millions and millions of years”; they complained of discrimination and harassment of dreadlocked people — including by security agencies who lock them out during recruitment yet “the first people to serve in the Kenyan army were Rastafari (the Mau Mau)”.

At the front of the Kibera workshop — known as Haile Selassie Africa Restoration Centre — is a shop that sells various bespoke Rasta items. The Rastafarians tell us that they have occupied the place for the past 27 years after reclaiming a dumpsite.

Of the Rastafarians in the house during the interview, 48-year-old John Wambua is the oldest — and arguably the man of the moment because of a case involving his daughter that has captured the headlines.

DREADLOCKS

Tomorrow, Ras Wambua and his fellow Rastafarians will be at the High Court in Milimani to know the fate of his daughter, Makeda Ndinda, who was turned away from Olympic High School in Kibera because she reported for Form One sporting dreadlocks, which she ties in a turban.

“She is 15 years old and her hair is as old as she is. She has never been shaved since she was born,” Ras Wambua says.

Despite an announcement from the Education ministry that the school has been ordered to take the girl back, Ras Wambua says no such instructions have been implemented.

“I thank the Cabinet Secretary (Amina Mohammed) for the way she spoke. But I’ve not got a phone call or any indication that I should return my daughter to school. And because the matter is in court, I’m waiting for the decision,” he says.

Observers will be watching the dreadlocks case keenly, especially after Thursday’s Supreme Court declaration in a dispute over the wearing of hijab and white long trousers by Muslim girls at a school in Isiolo. The apex court declared that the school administration had the right to determine the dress code for students.

The handling of Ras Wambua’s daughter is one among many examples of "mistreatment" of Rastafarians by the authorities, according to Ras Lojuron Jaden, 42, who the rest of the Rastafarians in the Kibera house recognised as their “prophet” and leader.

“It’s not the first time we are receiving complaints of the sort. But it’s the first time we have had the courage to take the matter to court,” says Ras Lojuron.

He adds that the Rastafarian community has been keenly reading the 2010 Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights, so as to fight against discrimination.

“For many years, our story has been told by people who are not Rasta, so there has been a lot of stigma and wrong information about our lifestyle. And it has led to discrimination,” he says.

He believes the teenage girl case “has been treated very cruelly by a government institution”, prompting the legal action.

“This is not just about Makeda, the Rasta girl. This is about the livelihood of the Rastafari community in Kenya. Are we going to go to court every year, every term, that we are sending our children to school?” he posed.

Makeda is one of Ras Wambua’s five children, and the only daughter. The first born in the family is now 24 years and he also sports dreadlocks.

“He went to primary school at Uhuru Gardens with the hair. For secondary education, he went to Lang’ata Barracks School and was also admitted without any problem,” says Ras Wambua.

FAITH

Two of Ras Wambua’s children do not, however, keep dreadlocks. One of them, who is in Form Two, fell ill one time and had to be shaved.

“He hasn’t restored the hair,” says Ras Wambua.

Keeping of dreadlocks, he explains, is drawn from the sixth chapter of the biblical book of Numbers. In that chapter, God gave Moses instructions regarding people who wanted to make a special vow.

Among the things the people were not supposed to do, according to the Bible, was drinking wine or any other fermented drinks. They were also advised against drinking grape juice and eating anything that comes from grapevines.

“During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over; they must let their hair grow long,” says the fifth verse of that chapter.

Ras Wambua believes that, that vow is what marks a person’s transition into Rastafarianism, where one embraces the concept of livity — the recognition that Jah (God) exists within, and flows through all creatures.

He joined the religion when, as a 20-year-old in 1991, he was locked up in Nairobi’s Industrial Area Remand Prison after being found in possession of bhang.

During his two-month stay at the prison, he met two Jamaicans, whom he calls “priests”. They had been arrested in Rongai also for possession of bhang.

“I got to know the truth about Rastafari; about King David’s kingdom, which I came to discover that it’s just here in Ethiopia,” says Ras Wambua.

“If you study the lineage of Emperor Haile Selassie to King Menelik, who was a child of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon, they had a son named Menelik I. And his lineage has up to King Selassie,” he says.

Historians, however, fault the Queen Sheba narrative and have left it to the realm of folklore, popularised by stories published in a 14th century book.

Ras Wambua says that since his conversion, he has never touched alcohol.

“You can’t find a true Rastaman or woman drunk. Taking alcohol is not in our traditions,” he says.

He has also shunned violence of any kind because it is against their teachings. The diet of Rastafari, he says, is also strict. He, for example, does not eat meat.

“God gave us teeth for eating fruits, grains and vegetables. It is animals like cats, dogs and lions that were given teeth that can tear flesh,” says Ras Wambua.

He adds: “These creatures (that we slaughter) have life and have a right to live. When you slaughter chicken, spill its blood to address your stomach’s craving, isn’t that a mistake? Rastas don’t do that.”

However, the teachings and philosophies of Rastafarians differ, especially among the three main groups of Bobo Ashanti, the Niyabinghi and the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Some of the groupings may support a thing proscribed by the other — for instance, the covering of dreadlocks with a piece of cloth.

“But all of them are unified by one thing: His Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie. The word you will get in one house is the one on another. It is not such a big difference,” says Ras Wambua.

PROPHESY AND HISTORY

Another man proudly proclaiming his Rastafarian faith is Ras Malonza Muyanga, 43.

Ras Malonza was born to a Catholic family in present-day Kitui County, but he remembers that he used to have a lot of questions, especially on the crucifixion of Jesus.

“Right from secondary school, I loved history and Christian Religious Education. I loved prophecy and the history of black people. So, I would connect the people of Israel, who were in slavery in Egypt, with the people of Africa who have been enslaved,” he says.

After discovering Rastafarianism, he explains, all appeared to fall into place.

“I came to realise that it’s only names which have changed, but it’s actually the African story which has been told as that of Israel people because, all along, I’ve not seen a place where white people have gone into slavery,” he says.

He goes ahead to shower praises on Haile Selassie and Ethiopia, waxing lyrical about his coronation as emperor in 1930.

“He was crowned king of kings; lord of lords; the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah; the true light of this world; alpha and omega; the beginning without end. These are not titles of a man,” he says.

The coronation of Haile Selassie is celebrated on November 2 every year and it is one of the big days for Rastafarians. They also mark the birthday of Haile Selassie on July 23 of every year.

“Redemption comes from Ethiopia, the only land in Africa which has never been colonised,” says Ras Malonza, adding that Rastafarians also celebrate September 11 as the New Year in the Ethiopian calendar.

Ras Malonza says reggae music also drew him to Rastafarianism as it is all about justice, equality and liberation.

Then there is the Mau Mau independence struggle against British colonial rule that he links to his religion.

“Mau Mau were Rastas. So, Rasta is at home in Kenya and everyone should welcome Rasta in Kenya,” he says of the independence heroes who sported dreadlocks.

Las Lojuron, their leader, has a lot more to say regarding the Rastafarians’ role in securing Kenya’s independence.

“How comes today no Rasta is allowed to serve in the army while all the ‘generals’ who fought for this country were Rastafari?” asks Ras Lojuron.

He is equally straight-shooting when asked to comment on whether Rastafarians are easy targets whenever police are hunting for those possessing bhang.

“Our message to the government is that they must put more money on research about marijuana, because many countries are already ahead of us, doing research on the benefits and ills of this plant,” he says.

In Parliament, there have been at least three efforts to have bhang legalised in Kenya, with none successful so far.

“It is discriminative that people of Rastafari faith, who have been using bhang for many years as a sacramental plant, and also for spiritual and curing purposes, are being discriminated against,” he says.

The youngest Rastafarian in the group is 22-year-old Victor Mutunga, who finished his studies at Strathmore University in June last year, where he studied for a business degree with IT.

Mutunga, whose family lives in Nairobi’s Madaraka Estate, says he started connecting with the Rastafarian family when he was in Form Three after being introduced by a friend.

His dreadlocks have just started developing, and he looks eager to have a bushy head and jaw like everyone else in the room.

Soon, our interview is over and we are ready to leave, but not before witnessing the Rastafarians chanting.

Ras Lojuron shouts: “Jah, Rastafari!”

The rest respond: “Yae!”

“Haile Selassie the almighty!”

Highlights of the group’s faith, beliefs

Ras John Wambua, Ras Malonza Muyanga and Ras Lojuron Jaden explained some beliefs of Rastafarians.



1. They observe the Sabbath

“It starts on Friday evening, because the night starts then the day follows. Friday evenings mark the preparation for Sabbath. That goes on into Saturday evening, when the Sabbath ends,” said Ras Wambua.



2. They are encouraged to read many books

“As Rastafari, we have many books. There is the Bible and books like Kebra Nagast (Glory of Kings), a 14th century compilation of legends from Ethiopia), Rastafarian Gospel, and Selected Speeches of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie. There are many books. There is no limit on the books you can read. Knowledge comes from every side,” Ras Wambua explained.



3. They have special attachment to a certain region in Ethiopia

An area called Shashamane in the Oromia region of Ethiopia bears great meaning to Rastafarians, as this is the area Emperor Haile Selassie set aside in 1948 to allow members of the Rastafarian Movement to move to Africa from Jamaica.

Forums are usually organised there to bring together Rastafarians across the globe.

“That is where many believers go to pay homage the Rastafarian way; just like Muslims go to Mecca,” said Ras Wambua.



4. Rastafarianism celebrates freedom of a person to be him/herself

“Rasta is about maintaining the connection between the ancestors and the generation of today; because we’ve realised that our ancestors lived at a time when there was no single book that controlled the people like the Bible and the Koran do nowadays,” said Ras Lojuron.

“Rastafari is the highest spiritual way of living, which is even higher than religion, because religion has become a divisive tool used by politicians for selfish interests.

So, Rastafari comes up with a high spiritual way of life, which is being totally honest with yourself and your environment,” he added.

Ras Malonza noted that Rastafarianism is not a church but a decision by a person to know themselves.

“It’s not something you join and now you’re Rastafari. It’s a story; you have to know it yourself,” he said.



5. They hardly engage in evangelism

“As Rastafarians, we don’t preach. And we don’t collect offerings from believers. We only observe the Sabbath and keep it holy,” said Ras Wambua.



6. Their group’s name came from Haile Selassie

Emperor Haile Selassie’s real name was Tafari Makonen. Because he once held the title of “ras” or “prince”, Rastafari became the ideal name for those who began the religion in Jamaica in the early 20th century. Many Rastafarians regard Haile Selassie, the emperor of Ethiopia between 1930 and 1974 when he was deposed, as a descendant of the Biblical King David, whose kingdom was prophesied to last forever. The connection to King David is through Queen Sheba, who they believe had a child with King David’s heir, Solomon.

GIRLS & WOMEN
At Least 20,000 Nigerian Girls Found After Being Sold Into Sex Slavery

https://media.globalcitizen.org/thumbnails/d2/d4/d2d448d2-6c8d-4ba7-843f-f17350d19df8/nigeria-girl-walking-stars-foundation-flickr.jpg__1500x670_q85_crop_subsampling-2.jpg

NAPTIP says that they are in “slave-like conditions.”

Why Global Citizens Should Care
Nigerians have been trafficked to at least 40 countries, where most survivors face abuse and exploitation. About 77% of human trafficking survivors have been sexually exploited by traffickers. You can help women and girls around the world by taking action here.
At least 20,000 missing women and girls were found to have been trafficked from Nigeria to Mali, the head of Nigeria’s anti-trafficking agency said on Tuesday, after they received information revealing that the young women were living in “slave-like” conditions, according to CNN .

“The conditions are horrible,” said Julie Okah-Donli, the director-general of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP). “They are kept in shanties in the thick of the forest where they cannot escape and with the ‘madames’ watching over them."

Some of the girls were abducted on their way to school. But most were tricked by human traffickers who promised them jobs in Malaysia. Instead, the girls, some as young as 16, were left stranded in Mali, where many were sold into prostitution, CNN reports.

Each year, thousands of Nigerians are illegally trafficked around the world. Nigerians have been trafficked to at least 40 countries, where most survivors face abuse and exploitation, according to a report from the US Department of State. About 97% of these human trafficking survivors are women, and 77% have been sexually abused or exploited by their traffickers.

For NAPTIP, rescuing survivors is an ongoing effort. Its rescue mission Operation Timbuktu helped 104 trafficking survivors escape from three brothels in Bamako which is Mali’s capital in 2011. And the organization helped repatriate dozens of the more recently trafficked women late last year, Reuters reports.

Officials hope to continue helping survivors escape prostitution and return back to Nigeria. Okah-Donli said that her agency NAPTIP is teaming up with the International Organization for Migration, a UN-affiliate, to help survivors escape sex trafficking.

While they don’t have an estimated number of Nigerian girls who were trafficked to other parts of Africa, the agency plans to send help to neighboring countries. Nigerians are predominantly trafficked to Europe, but Ghana, Burkina Faso, and the Ivory Coast are common places for trafficking to occur as well.

NANS slams Gov. Emmanuel over non-payment of bursary, threatens to showdown government activities

Published on January 23, 2019
By Lovina Anthony

https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Udom-Emmanuel11.jpg


The National Association of Nigerian Students NANS has tackled the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Mr. Udom Emmanuel, over an alleged negligence to their welfare, which borders on payment of bursary, issuance of scholarship, improved condition of learning and grants for special students(Law and Medical students).

The students body also raised the alarm to threat to lives of its leadership particularly of its President, Comrade Danielson Akpan.

Addressing a press conference in Uyo on Tuesday, the NANs president said since the Akwa Ibom State Government has failed to honour the one week ultimatum issued it to pay up the bursary owed it’s students, the students have no option than to embark on massive protests.

He also warned Governor Emmanuel to risk vote apathy from the students community if he fails to yield to their course.

Akpan recalled that since the ultimatum was issued to the state government on January 12, 2019, his executive members and himself have been inundated with harassments and threats to their lives noting that governor Emmanuel should be held responsible incase something bad happens to him or any of his executive members.

He wondered why Gov. Emmanuel led administration was unable to pay bursary, which is their constitutional right but has the money and resources to quickly pay not less than N100 million to some unidentified students within one month just to seek political endorsement.

The statement partly read, “NANS has demanded for immediate payment of bursary and scholarship. The ultimatum elapsed today as the Akwa Ibom government has deliberately refused to pay bursary to students since assumption of governor Emmanuel to office.

“A government that courts students on political praise singing cannot but be determined to punish them for ignorantly signing out their future in exchange for political patronage.

“The students, not those usually hired for political endorsements are determined this time to secure their rights. They have decided to embark on massive protests; there will be total resistance to the sheer neglect of the rights of students.

“We can no longer remain pawns on their chessboard. The Udom government has denigrated Akwa Ibom students and it is time to say Enough is Enough!

“Ever since we issued the ultimatum, we are aware that there are plans to silence our position and possibly come after key officials of the NANS leadership, particularly the president of NANS. We have been reliably informed that some thugs have been contracted to hack down NANS president. We are calling on the entire world to hold governor Udom responsible should anything happens to the NANS president or any of the officials.

“Having failed in delivering dividends of democracy in the educational sector, the governor resorted to hiring the students for political endorsements. It is the height of degradation of our dignity. This total neglect of education is akin to taking us back to the inglorious days of slavery, human capital under development and poor education.

“Allocations to Tertiary Institutions are grossly inadequate and infrastructural facilities are overstretched and obsolete. We call on the government to rededicate to the human capital development instead of impoverishing them.”

On why the agitation was coming few days to the elections and whether it was politically motivated, the outspoken President said, “The time to fight for our rights is now, besides i assumed office as the NANS president few months ago.

“Our course has nothing to do with political lines, recall that few days ago we gave an ultimatum to President Buhari concerning the ASUU strike, that was what compelled the Federal government to reconvene a meeting with ASUU which i believe will yield positive results.

“It is not about a political party but about government. It is mischievous for AkwaIbom state government to hide under the umbrella of lack of funds to not pay bursary. Akwaibom is one of the richest if not the richest state in the country.

Rivers State pays bursary, Delta state pays too, as a matter of fact i was invited as the president of NANS to launch that of 2018/2019 bursary as at October 2018 in Delta state. Delta students around the length and breath of the world are captured in bursary. Rivers and Delta are in the category of Akwa Ibom state.

“There are states that are financially handicapped that cannot take care of themselves not to talk more of bursary and scholarship yet they are doing it. For instance Nasarawa state is known to be financially handicapped, yet, the governor pays bursary and even the welfare of special students were taken care of. The governor even went as far as providing grants and laptops for them.

“States like Zamfara, Borno that are ridden with crises are investing so much in the education sector. Can you compare their federal allocations and the IGR accrued to those states to Akwa Ibom State,” he queried.

Akpan, who, however, noted that successive governments in Akwa Ibom paid bursary to the students from Akwa Ibom State, urged the students to remain law abiding and non-violent as they stage protests to pursue their rights in legitimate and intellectual ways.

However, when the Commissioner of Information, Mr. Charles Udoh was contacted to get his reaction, he said,

“First and foremost I wish to state that the authentic NANS leadership have been in discussions with representatives of the state government to agree modalities for Registration, Verification and pre-qualification of beneficiaries. These are requisite processes that must be completed before computation and execution.

“Any NANS group threatening to carry out a protest is obviously on the path of a political motivated blackmail to smear government.

“The alleged harassment of the student’s officials by the agents of the state government is another in the series of fictions created by the opposition in the state in a desperate attempt to continue their mud slinging assault on the state government.”
