In what many would describe as ‘Miracle of
Suhem’, ailing Taraba State Governor,
Dambaba Suntai miraculously turned fisherman
over the weekend.
An indication that the Governor’s health
appears to have improved significantly
emerged yesterday as he entered a red Range
Rover Sports HSC, which conveyed him to the
fish farm without help.
The Governor, alongside his wife, Hauwa; their
twin children, his younger brother, Babangida
Suntai; Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Sylvanus Giwa, and
Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Hassan
Mijinyawa stormed a fish pond located near
the School of Nursing at Jalingo Bye-pass in
the state capital to have some good time.
However, his over one hour outing, yielded no
catch as he toiled in vain.
The governor jokingly said the fish cheated on
him.
“Kifi sun chuche ni, dun sun riga su chi abinchi,”
he said in Hausa, meaning: “the fish cheated on
me because they are already fed.”
It was learnt that on arrival at the pond, the
embattled governor asked the farm manager
to give him the fish feeds, which he threw into
the pond for the fish to show up.
The farm manager also brought him a hook and
line and an earthworm, which he used as bait.
However, fish refused to go for the bait, a
drama which sent the small audience into
laughter.
His wife, Hauwa occasionally teased her
husband about his inability to make a catch.
At a point, the wife herself almost fell into
the pond after slipping at the edge of the pond
and the husband told her, “If you fall into the
water I will fish you out.”
The Governor’s failed effort made one of the
security men laugh with Suntai, telling him to
return home if he could not be quiet.
“Noise scares fish,” he said.
Suntai left the pond with a promise to return
in a few days, this time to catch as many of
the fish as possible.

NARD says no member will resume work until
the Federal Government publicises the
communiqué on their agreement last year, fully
settle the arrears owed them, rectify the
bottlenecks with the new payment system and
set guideline on the Residency Training Policy.
NARD National President, Dr. Jubril Abdulahi,
told The Guardian, that the leadership is
assessing the claims by the Ministry of Health
that it has paid almost all the outstanding
debts.
“We have asked our various chapters to report
and submit what has been paid and what is
outstanding, he said.
“But the main issue now is the agreement we
had with the government last year. We want
them to bring out a communiqué on that
agreement. It is government that is holding us
to ransom. We are ready to call off strike. We
have a meeting tomorrow in Abuja by 4 p.m.”
Chapter President of NARD, Lagos University
Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Dr.
Emeka Ugwu, said yesterday: “We are still
collating the statistics of the payment from
the different centres. We are going to have
meetings this week. We are eager to go back
to our patients.
“We heard that they want to remove resident
doctors from the new payment system. They
should just correct the mistake. We don’t
want doctors to be removed from the payment
system. It is a wonderful payment system.
They should devise a way of making correction
and capture our members that are yet to
benefit.
“Government has paid most of our members’
arrears except for one or two months,
especially this month (October). They are
settling our arrears but the issue we want is
that we want to remain on it because it will
curb corruption.
“One of the things holding us back from calling
off the strike is the Residency Training Policy.
Government should bring out the guideline. We
are very optimistic that the strike may be
called off this week.”
At the weekend, Minister of Health, Prof.
Onyebuchi Chukwu, explained that the Federal
Government has settled 95 per cent of the
demands made by the doctors.
Speaking during a health walk in Lagos
organised by the Institute of Directors (IoD),
Chukwu said that, “all things being equal, I
think latest by next week, they should end the
strike.”
According to him, the main issue was the
introduction of new electronic platform, IPPS,
which had implementation issues, on account of
which some doctors were not paid, stating
that, “As Minister, I am also being paid by the
system that was introduced across all the
establishments owned by the Federal
Government.
“There were issues in implementation, which is
typical of most new schemes. So, some people
were not paid because of the question of
whether they should be included or excluded
from the system. That was the argument going
on, leading to the strike. But as at Friday last
week, they have all been sorted out.
“If there are one or two lingering issues, they
can be sorted out in a matter of time. But I
don’t think the country has to pay the very high
price of people losing their lives because
doctors do not attend to them, just because
they want to gain something that is not so
significant compared to what they are already
getting.”
He added that while all the Chief Medical
Directors (CMDs) of government hospitals
across the federation have confirmed receipt
of doctors’ salaries, few of the resident
doctors were yet to be paid as at weekend,
“which is a small fraction compared to the
greater number of those that have been paid.
“So I assure that others would be paid within
this week. If it has to do with government’s
commitment in the matter, they should have
called off the strike since last Friday. But I
guess they are insisting on paying every
doctor. I think everything should be put into
perspective – nothing should be do or die.” SOURCE

The Academic Staff Union of Universities
(ASUU) has accused the Federal Government
of sponsoring media campaign to force it to
end the ongoing industrial action.
According to the union, its indefinite strike
which started on July 2, still stands,
irrespective of the move by government to
discredit its leadership.
Chairman of ASUU, University of Abuja
chapter, Clement Chup, had on Sunday in an
interview with Daily Independent, also denied
a purported meeting at the State House,
Abuja, with Vice President Namadi Sambo,
where it was claimed that government further
shifted grounds on the demands of the Union.
An online news medium had reported that
there was an appreciable progress in the
ongoing negotiations between ASUU and the
Vice President, particularly on the
controversial earned allowances for the
striking lecturers.
In the report, government was alleged to have
further shifted ground on the demands made
by the Union, by agreeing to add N10 billion to
the N30 billion initially provided for the
settlement of earned allowances, making it
N40 billion.
It was also reported that government had
shored up the N100 billion meant for
infrastructure to N150 billion with a pledge to
periodically inject more funds into the system
in line with the Needs Implementation
Committee chaired by Benue State Governor,
Gabriel Suswan.
Chup in his reaction, said “I read the
mischievous report online myself, but I am
telling you authoritatively that there was no
such meeting.
“Government is only trying to use propaganda
and cheap blackmail to make us call off this
strike, but it will not work.
“Our strike is still very much on course, in
fact, ASUU will soon release a position paper
on these developments, we are used to this
kind of blackmail from government,” Chup said.
On his part, Chairman of the Ambrose Alli
University chapter of ASUU, Fred Esumeh,
attributed the strike to failed leadership on
the part of government, saying over 53
letters urging government to implement the
2009 agreement were transmitted prior to
the strike.
“As I keep saying, this strike is a product of
failed leadership on the part of government;
this is because we had series of dialogue to
reach an agreement.
“An agreement reached since 2009 that has
not been implemented up till now, obviously it
is a product of failed leadership, before this
time that we commenced strike, there have
been over 53 letters, not to talk of several
meetings with the House and Senate
committees on education to intervene.
“I do not think ASUU is loosing public
sympathy, because what we see in our
electronic media and perhaps few print media
is sponsored protest.
“Like the one organised by the market women,
that one is laughable, you could see that it is
government sponsored.
“Then of course, the guy that parades himself
as NANS President, Yinka Gbadebo, a diploma
student in OAU, who was rusticated from
Ekiti State University.
“A diploma student cannot even contest to be
an SUG president and to be a NANS
president, you must be from SUG presidents
all over the federation, so we know these
people are sponsored by government,” Esumeh
said.

October is proving to be the month of
reckoning for migration scammers. Barely days
after Nigerian Prince Dr Yilkyes made
headlines during his trial at Canterbury Crown
Court for running a huge illegal immigration
racket, Taofik Amao, 50, of Stanfield
Gardens, Dagenham was handed a two-year
sentence for attempting to arrange a fake
wedding.
His coconspirator, AkinwaleAkinmade, of
Turner Avenue, Seven Sister, was arrested at
London Bridge station and charged with
conspiracy to facilitate a non-EU national to
remain in the UK.
The “Fixers” were uncovered by two of their
clients after they conspired to arrange a fake
wedding between Oluwaseun Olukokun and 27-
year-old Dutch national ScheyeckaNowells in
October last year.
The conspiracy crumbled when Immigration
Enforcement Criminal and Financial
Investigations became suspicious and decided
to probe further, to determine whether
Olukokun and Nowells are truly in a real
relationship. The couple was summoned and
during questioning, Nowells broke down and
admitted that, the intended marriage was a
scam and claimed that the fixers could be
seen carrying her red suitcase at London
Bridge Station.
Nowells and Olukokun were promptly arrested
and the fixers were apprehended.
Upon further questioning, Nowell, Olukokun
and Akinmadeidentified Amao as the main
fixer. Further evidence on Amao’s laptop and
mobile phone also backed their claim.
Nowells, Olukokun and Akinmade pleaded
guilty to the charges and were sentenced to
12 months, 18 months and 2 years respectively
at Woolwich crown court on 1 February, 2013.
Amao was charged with conspiracy to assist in
a breach of immigration law on 20 February
2013 and was found guilty by a jury following a
10-day trial at the Old Bailey which finished on
12 September. He was sentenced to 2 and a
half years on Thursday 10 October.
Hannah Shirley, Immigration Enforcement
Criminal and Financial Investigations team,
Home Office speaking about the case said:
‘Amao clearly thought that he could run
roughshod over the UK’s immigration rules and
make a profit from his criminality.
‘He was wrong as our officers caught up with
him and brought him to justice
‘The Home Office is cracking down on all
forms of immigration crime, no matter how
large or small, and those who seek to cheat
immigration laws face prosecution and
conviction.’
Sham marriages is very high and the most
likely method illegal immigrant uses to try to
get legalised mainly because they feel it is the
only route open to them.
Due to the prerequisite for marrying a British
national, most illegal immigrants turn to EU
nationals as the law governing EU marriages is
quite relax and flexible.
UK government has developed zero tolerance
to illegal immigration and immigrants and is
making it more difficult for them to get
legalised. During the summer, the Home
Office carried out a campaign ordering illegals
to go back to their country or get arrested via
a van ad. The campaign received mixed reviews
with some residents where the campaign was
carried out calling it offensive and nasty.
Unrelenting in their effort to make illegal
immigrants unwanted, the government has
published a new immigration Bill, which carries
a number of proposals to clamp down on sham
marriages.
The Bill is recommending the extension of
marriage and civil partnership notice to 28
days in England and Wales with flexibility for
extension to 70 days where extensive
investigation has to be carried out.
Speaking in support of the bill, Immigration
Minister Mark Harper said
“The United Kingdom has a long and proud
history of immigration. Our immigrant
communities are a fundamental part of who we
are and we are a richer and stronger society
because of them. But the public expects and
deserves an immigration system that is fair to
British citizens and legitimate immigrants and
tough on those who abuse the system and flout
the law
The Immigration Bill will stop migrants abusing
public services to which they are not entitled,
reduce the pull factors which draw illegal
immigrants to the UK and make it easier to
remove people who should not be here
We will continue to welcome the brightest and
best migrants who want to contribute to our
economy and society and play by the rules. But
the law must be on the side of people who
respect it, not those who break it.”
If everything goes without any hitch, the Bill
would complete its Parliamentary passage
during the third session of this Parliament and
once the Royal Assent has been received,
measures proposed in the bill will be
implemented from summer 2014 upwards. SOURCE www.theheraldng.com/meet-taofik-amao-man-fixes-sham-marriages-uk/?fb_source=pubv1

No fewer than eight people have died and
61 hospitalized in a community where
people displaced by communal conflicts live
in Plateau state, following an outbreak of
cholera.
Medical authorities confirmed an outbreak
of the disease in Namu village in the
Qua’pan Local Government Area of the
state.
Namu, a village at the Plateau and
Nasarawa States border, hosts displaced
people in the violent crisis that broke out
in the Obi Local Government Area of
Nasarawa State.
“Yes, there has been an outbreak of
cholera in Namu village, eight people have
been killed while 61 others have been
hospitalised,” the Plateau State
Epidemiologist, Dr Raymond Yuryit, said in
Namu on Sunday.
Mr Yuryit spoke when he received
Alhassan Barde, the Executive Secretary
of the Plateau State Emergency
Management Agency (SEMA), who had gone
to assess the situation.
He said that those hospitalized had been
diagnosed with the disease and were
admitted into various health centres.
Mr Yuryit attributed the outbreak to
overcrowding, dirty environment and the
consumption of unhygienic food and water.
Cholera kills within the shortest possible
time because it dehydrates the victim,
leading to severe gastro-intestinal impact.
The medical expert explained further that
the Namu victims suffered chronic
diarrhoea and vomiting, saying that many
had been hit by the disease before
government intervened.
The specialist said that the epidemic was
not altogether a surprise as the area had
lots of internally-displaced persons from
Nasarawa State, a development that had
put much pressure on the environment and
portable drinking water.
“But we are happy that the situation is
already under control,” he said.
The epidemiologist explained that he had
advised health workers in private and
government health centres on ways to
avert a recurrence of the ailment and also
on how to quickly manage the situation if it
arose.
He thanked the Plateau and Nasarawa
States governments for their quick
response to the report, lauding the SEMAs
for their massive support.
He called on government at all levels to
ensure that the monthly sanitation
exercise was taken seriously, especially in
rural areas, to ensure good hygiene for
rural dwellers.
Mr Juryit also appealed to government to
provide portable water to rural dwellers,
pointing out that dirty water was the main
cause of the epidemic.
He called on people in the area to promptly
report any case of diarrhoea or vomiting
to the nearest health centre, saying that
quick action could minimise casualty rates.
Mr Barde, in his remarks, said that the
quick intervention by the agency was part
of its statutory mandate, promising to
continue to offer quick assistance to
areas in need.
The SEMA chief said that the agency
intervened to avert the possibility of the
disease spreading to other parts of the
state, calling on relevant agencies to
assist in the management of disaster
cases.
He thanked the Nasarawa Government for
donating drugs that would be distributed
to various health centres.
