It great that things ar turning around in PDP,but the new emmergence of new PDP is not the issue but the ideology that form it is it in good faith wit Nigerians in mind? I had the speach of the president yesterday and I
wept for the young and unborn Nigerians.
Within the first and second quarter of this
year Nigeria has generated 6.7trillions and the same government complain bitterly
that there is no fund in the system. The presidency only release little funds to MDAs he will use to mup cash for 2015 election. I believe the crisis in PDP is God
intervention in to Nigeria problems to get us a better leadership. I urge Nigerians to stay calm, watch and be prayerful.
PoliticsNTA Refuses Reporting Atiku, Seven Governors Walk-out Of PDP Convention by arcis(op): 8:52am On Sep 01, 2013
SaharaReporters can authoritatively
report that the Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA), Nigeria’s public
television, this evening on its prime 9
p.m. news avoided reporting Saturday’s
historic crisis at the ongoing Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Special
Convention in Abuja, thereby once again
taking sides with President Goodluck
Jonathan and the ruling party and
betraying the facts.

At the convention, the ruling party openly
and embarrassingly split in two, with
several governors and former Vice-
President Atiku Abubakar walking away
and immediately formalizing their own
faction. There were also fisticuffs among
delegates from Anambra State, but the
NTA, preferring politics to professionalism,
did not report that, either.

As monitored by SaharaReporters in New
York, NTA reported President Jonathan’s
address and of Vice President Namadi
Sambo. It also carried two slide stories of
Senate President David Mark and that of
Benue State governor, Mr. Gabriel
Suswan, after which the station continued
with its live broadcast of the votes cast in
Eagles Square, venue of the convention.
NTA is under the supervision of Mr.
Labaran Maku, Nigeria’s Minister of
Information, as well as a board appointed
by the president, which protect the PDP’s
government interests in the company.
The editorial staff, according to a source, has been mandated to report only pro-
Jonathan stories and turn down any
material offensive to him..

PoliticsRe: When Will The Politicised ASUU Call Off Their Self-serving Strike? by arcis: 8:14am On Aug 28, 2013
I learnt this morning that the health workers
have called off their 6 days old strike
after 2 days negotiations with govt.
That is how it ought to be. Negotiation
is a give and take thing.
Please your source?


The issues are simple. ASUU had an
agreement with the federal government in
2009 which was not implemented. They
secured an MoU with the federal
government in 2010 through a strike. The
MoU died no sooner than it was birthed.
Now ASUU is up in arms demanding the
implementation of the 2009 accord. The
first reaction of the FG to this latest
agitation backed with a strike was to say,
‘no, we are not aware of any such
agreement since we lately came to
power’! But following this, it has been
instituted a series of ad hoc committees,
first, to search for the agreement that had
never left the dusty shelves of
bureaucracy and, second, to work out a
solution that was not found since 2009.
This entire macabre dance has persisted
because those ruling us may appear
gentle but have not allowed their gentle
actions to permeate their activities in
government. Or else, how can we explain
the drafting of politicians in the mould of
Gabriel Suswan, the governor of Benue
State, and Anyim Pius Anyim, the
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF), to chair sensitive
committees set up resolve the matter. But
how can a prophet who has not earned
honour at home seek to get honour
abroad? Don’t forget that medical
students of the Benue State University
have been organizing a series of protests
and sit-ins to persuade and/or force the
Suswan administration to cough out the
needed funds to provide the medical
equipment required by the Nigeria
Universities Commission (NUC) to accredit
the medical programme of the institution.
Anyim? How did he fare as Senate
President to have deserved the SSG
portfolio in this government and become
chair of a technical committee to proffer
needed and urgent remedy to our
decadent tertiary education sector?
Much as we urge the lecturers to continue
the struggle until their demands are met
to engender a progressive university
system in the country, they must be wary
of the use of strikes as a weapon in future.
Strikes in an education sector can be
likened to a double-edged which, apart
from forcing the authorities to act, also
stagnate, frustrate and demoralize
students. They paralyse the scholarly
ascent of scholars. Students are human
beings and therefore must not be treated
like industrial goods. Society cannot
afford to waste its material resources, but
a society is doomed which wastes the
time and energy of its youths,
represented by students.
It must be noted that the minister of
education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i Ahmed
and the minister of state for education,
Nyesom Wike have not helped matters.
While Rufa’i Ahmed seems to be flowing
along praying that this strike will roll by
on its own accord, Wike is busy fighting
his benefactor just to land the Rivers
State PDP governorship slot for 2015.
Again, our World Bank genius and
minister of finance Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
would rather argue that the country is
broke and as such government cannot
meet the lecturers’ demands aimed at
fixing the university system. Her policies
have never been felt by the commoners in
Nigeria, despite the fact that she enjoys a
heroic status in governmental quarters.
She must realize that the developed
countries where she was groomed were
built up and managed by those who
enjoyed free and compulsory education
from the state.
When former regimes paid scant attention
to education, people said it was because
the presidents were no graduates, but
what about now that the president is a
PhD holder. One of the most unanimous
national facts is that the standard of
education has been on a continuous
plunge.
And how can government say it cannot
meet the demands of lecturers while its
officials daily mystify the public with their
ostentatious lifestyles. How on earth will a
country that is broke spend N1billion on
feeding at the presidential villa? Why will
a country that is broke continue to
maintain about 13 jets in her presidential
fleet?
Governor Suswam claimed that the issues
that led to the strike had been
substantially addressed with the release
of N30billion for immediate release to the
universities to enable them pay their staff
the earned allowance while another
N100billion would go to address the gross
deficit in critical infrastructure in the 61
federal and state universities.
What Suswan failed to give is a definite
timeline for the release of the funds. One
wonders if Suswan is not taking education
back to pre-2009 promises before the
agreement in question was signed. The
question is: When will Suswam’s
committee submit its spreadsheet of
projects to Mr. President? When will Mr.
President set up a committee to study the
spreadsheet and make recommendations?
When will the White Paper of the new
committee to be constituted by Mr.
President be approved by the Federal
Executive Council? When will Mr President
sign the amended White Paper and direct
the minister of finance who thinks the
government is broke to release the funds?
From the way governance is run here, I
think this is another journey to nowhere.
However, ASUU was quick to reject the
merry-go-round exercise, accusing
government. The ASUU has accused the
federal government of not being
genuinely committed to revitalizing public
universities through adequate funding
and that it was exhibiting a ‘take it or
leave it’ and ‘grab-the-crumbs or starve to
death’ mentality.
Again, in these uncertain times in our
educational history, students must ensure
that their desire to reach the heights of
their talents is not dampened by the
chicanery of visionless leaders. Even
though the doors to their classrooms have
temporarily been shut by the fight of
giants, they must daily withdraw into their
home sanctum, burn the midnight candle
and await the break of day. They must not
take the rude break in their academic
activities to mean a complete break in
their desire to attain lofty intellectual
heights. Readers are leaders, they say.
The federal government must also desist
from the paralysis of waiting for industrial
actions before redressing problems in the
system. The government must been seen
to proactively cater for the needs of
citizens and not the few in public service
and political positions. A situation where
government rushes money to meet the
needs of few individuals and institutions
in the system for self preservation can
only lead to unfathomable anarchy now
and in the long run.
It is germane to stress that students today
are asking for bread but successive
governments have given them stones.
They asked for fish but got serpents in
return. We must not fail to realize that
“stones” and “serpents” could be most
dangerous in idle hands.

PoliticsPatience - Amaechi And His Wife Refused To Pay Me Condolence Visit by arcis(op): 10:27pm On Aug 19, 2013
President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience Jonathan, has decried the failure of Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State to pay her a condolence visit since her mother died in an automobile accident several weeks ago. In a statement released today in Abuja, Mrs. Jonathan all but declared Mr. Amaechi and his wife guilty of bad manners for refusing to express their sympathy over her mother’s death.

The First Lady’s statement was a reaction to reports that she had failed to recognize the presence of Rivers State Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru, who was at the Port Harcourt International Airport to receive her when she visited the state on Sunday.

In a statement signed by the First Lady’s Director of Information, Ms. Ayo Adesugba, Mrs. Jonathan stated that, despite the refusal of the governor and his wife to pay her a condolence visit, she bore them no grudge.

Mrs. Jonathan’s press release noted that numerous personalities, including former presidents, traditional rulers and diplomats, had consoled her over the death of her mother, Mrs. Charity Oba. “However, [Governor Amaechi] and the wife from the State which the First Lady hails have not paid such a visit,” the statement added.
Mrs. Jonathan, who is originally from Rivers State, has been identified as the principal sponsor of a political group that has precipitated a political crisis in the state. In recent months, the state has come close several times to being ungovernable. The crisis culminated in a physical brawl between five members of the state assembly loyal to Mrs. Jonathan and the majority who back the governor. The brawl was captured on tape and went viral after different versions of it were posted on youtube.

Speaking recently with a group of pastors who paid her a visit, Mrs. Jonathan stated that Governor Amaechi was stubborn, but added that he was a son to her. She denied wishing the governor political or physical harm, adding that prayers were needed to resolve the crisis in the state.



OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

PRESS RELEASE

Leave Me Out of Rivers State Politics - First Lady
The attention of the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has been drawn to reports carried in some sections of the media alleging that top officials of the Rivers government, including the Deputy Governor Tele Ikuru who came to receive the First Lady, were shielded from Dame Jonathan on her arrival at Port Harcourt International Airport yesterday, (18/08/2013). Some of the media reports went to the extent of alleging that Dame Jonathan “snubbed” the Deputy Governor.

It is important to set the record straight in order to prevent the public from being misled. The First Lady arrived in Rivers State yesterday for a private visit, to make arrangements for the burial of her late mother with members of her extended family.

Customarily, the wife of the State Governor receives the First Lady whenever she visits any state. That is why the wife of Bayelsa State Governor traveled from Yenagoa to receive the First Lady. Ordinarily, one would have expected the same complement from the wife of the Rivers State Governor.

It is instructive to note that since the death of Mrs. Charity Oba, the mother of the First Lady, several groups and individuals from across the country have come to condole the First Family at the State House, Abuja. They include Executive State Governors and their wives from all the political divides; Nigeria’s former Presidents and Heads of State and their wives, captains of industry, female Ambassadors and High Commissioners of Nigeria, other members of the diplomatic corps, royal fathers and traditional leaders - the list is too numerous to call. However, the Governor and the wife from the State which the First Lady hails have not paid such a visit.

It should be clear to all that for quite some time now, the First Lady has refrained from commenting on issues relating to the politics of Rivers State. Dame Patience does not want her name to be used to heat up the polity. We therefore urge that the name of the First Lady be left out of the politics in Rivers State.

The First Lady, like any Nigerian, is free to visit the state of her birth. Dame Jonathan bears no grudge towards anyone as she is an individual who continues to tirelessly advocate for peace and harmony in Nigeria. We therefore reiterate that the First Lady’s name be left out of the politics in the State.

CultureYCE To Build Yoruba Village In London by arcis(op): 6:58am On Aug 18, 2013
The Yoruba Council of Elders has unfolded  a plan to build a community centre in London, with the name Yoruba Village.

The president of the YCE UK, Bolaji Falase, who made this known at a recent press conference in Lagos, said the centre will help preserve the Yoruba culture and serve as a meeting point all Yoruba people in the Diaspora.

Falase added that London was chosen for the project because Nigeria was a colony of Britain.

He said, "All over the world, India has community centres, which they use to propagate their culture and traditions. That is also the reason we are planning to build the Yoruba Village in London. Apart from its economic importance, it is also a meeting point for all Yoruba in the Diaspora.

"The Yoruba language is diminishing. To remedy the situation, the facility will be a meeting point where we can teach our children our language, our culture and traditions, and also eat our food."

He said the estimated cost of the land for the Yoruba Village was £5m, while the construction of the centre, which will host a museum, library, offices, conference facilities, restaurant and supermarket, was estimated to cost £7m.

He said while they were working towards acquiring the land, the construction would be in stages, depending on availability of funds.

The President of the YCE, Gen. Adeyinka Adebayo (retd.), commended the UK chapter for its interest in the organisation and efforts towards actualising the project.

Adebayo added that the project would help the future generation of Yoruba people not to lose touch with their roots and culture.

4) GOLDEN PASTA (a Flour Mills Plc subsidiary started and completed during Gbenga Daniels tenure)

Health7 Easy Fixes For Snoring by arcis(op): 6:22am On Jul 31, 2013
You may be among the 45% of normal
adults who snore at least occasionally
or you likely know someone who does.
He (or she) may be the brunt of jokes
at family gatherings (“Uncle Joe snores
so loudly he rattles the windows!”), but
snoring is serious business.
For one, a snoring spouse often keeps
the other person from a good night’s
sleep, which can eventually lead to
separate bedrooms. “Snoring can
create real problems in a marriage,”
says Daniel P. Slaughter, MD, an
otolaryngologist and snoring expert at
Capital Otolaryngology in Austin,
Texas.
Not only is snoring a nuisance, but
75% of people who snore have
obstructive sleep apnea (when
breathing is disrupted during sleep for
short periods), which increases the risk
of developing heart disease, Slaughter
says.
Use caution before you self-treat with
over-the-counter sprays and pills until
you’ve checked with your doctor, says
Sudhansu Chokroverty, MD, FRCP,
FACP, program director for Clinical
Neurophysiology and Sleep Medicine
at JFK Medical Center in Edison, N.J.
“Many stop-snoring aids are marketed
without scientific studies to support
their claims,” says Chokroverty, who is
also a neuroscience professor at Seton
Hall University’s School of Health and
Medical Sciences.
Instead, try these natural solutions and
lifestyle changes which may help you
stop snoring.
Causes of Fatigue and Sleepiness and
How to Fight Them
1. Change Your Sleep Position.
Lying on your back makes the base of
your tongue and soft palate collapse to
the back wall of your throat, causing a
vibrating sound during sleep. Sleeping
on your side may help prevent this.
“A body pillow (a full-length pillow that
supports your entire body) provides an
easy fix,” Slaughter says. “It enables
you to maintain sleeping on your side
and can make a dramatic difference.”
Taping tennis balls to the back of your
pajamas can also stop you from
sleeping on your back, Chokroverty
says. “Or you can recline the bed with
the head up and extended, which
opens up nasal airway passages and
may help prevent snoring. This may
cause neck pain, however.” If snoring
continues regardless of the sleep
position, obstructive sleep apnea may
be a cause. “See a doctor in this case,”
Chokroverty says.
2. Lose Weight.
Weight loss helps some people but not
everyone. “Thin people snore, too,”
Slaughter says.
If you’ve gained weight and started
snoring and did not snore before you
gained weight, weight loss may help.
“If you gain weight around your neck,
it squeezes the internal diameter of
the throat, making it more likely to
collapse during sleep, triggering
snoring,” Slaughter says.
3. Avoid Alcohol.
Alcohol and sedatives reduce the
resting tone of the muscles in the back
of your throat, making it more likely
you’ll snore. “Drinking alcohol four to
five hours before sleeping makes
snoring worse,” Chokroverty says.
“People who don’t normally snore will
snore after drinking alcohol.”
4. Practice Good Sleep Hygiene.
Poor sleep habits (also known as poor
sleep “hygiene”) can have an effect
similar to that of drinking alcohol,
Slaughter says. Working long hours
without enough sleep, for example,
means when you finally hit the sack
you’re overtired. “You sleep hard and
deep, and the muscles become
floppier, which creates snoring,”
Slaughter says.
5. Open Nasal Passages.
If snoring starts in your nose, keeping
nasal passages open may help. It
allows air to move through slower,
Slaughter says. “Imagine a narrow
garden hose with water running
through. The narrower the hose, the
faster the water rushes through.”
Your nasal passages work similarly. If
your nose is clogged or narrowed due
to a cold or other blockage, the fast-
moving air is more likely to produce
snoring.
A hot shower before you go to bed can
help open nasal passages, Slaughter
says. Also, keep a bottle of saltwater
rinse in the shower. “Rinse your nose
out with it while you’re showering to
help open up passages,” Slaughter
says.
A neti pot could also be used to rinse
out the nasal passages with a salt-
water solution.
Nasal strips may also work to lift nasal
passages and open them up -- if the
problem exists in your nose and not
within the soft palate.
6. Change Your Pillows.
Allergens in your bedroom and in your
pillow may contribute to snoring.
When did you last dust the overhead
ceiling fan? Replace your pillows?
Dust mites accumulate in pillows and
can cause allergic reactions that can
lead to snoring. Allowing pets to sleep
on the bed causes you to breathe in
animal dander, another common
irritant.
“If you feel fine during the day but
obstructed at night, these things may
be contributing to your snoring,”
Slaughter says.
Put your pillows in the air fluff cycle
once every couple weeks and replace
them every six months to keep dust
mites and allergens to a minimum. And
keep pets out of the bedroom.
Beware before spending money on
special pillows designed to prevent
snoring, Chokroverty says. “They may
work if it props up your head, which
fixes nasal issues, but can cause neck
pain.”
7. Stay Well Hydrated.
Drink plenty of fluids. “Secretions in
your nose and soft palate become
stickier when you’re dehydrated,”
Slaughter says. “This can create more
snoring.” According to the Institute of
Medicine, healthy women should have
about 11 cups of total water (from all
drinks and food) a day; men require
about 16 cups.
Overall, get enough sleep, sleep on
your side, avoid alcohol before
bedtime and take a hot shower if nasal
passages are clogged, Slaughter says.
“These simple practices can make a
huge difference in reducing snoring.”

PoliticsLagos Begins E-ticketing For BRT Buses by arcis(op): 5:40am On Jul 31, 2013
The Lagos State Government on Tuesday
launched the new electronic ticketing (e-
ticket) system for Bus Rapid Transit, BRT,
buses in the state.
The e-ticketing system now allows BRT users
to pay bus fare as low as N20 within a
stipulated distance as against the fixed fare
of N70 to N120.
The e-ticketing is being managed by the
Lagos Area Metropolitan Transport Authority,
LAMATA.
Governor Babatunde Fashola launched the e-
ticketing system at the BRT CMS Terminal in
Marina, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, saying
that the development was to make the
transportation system through BRT buses
more efficient and fast for both operators and
users.
BRT buses: e-ticketing begins
The governor, who was represented by his
Deputy, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire
stated that users of BRT buses with the e-
ticket could pay less for travel time as well as
make the process of ticketing more users
friendly.
According to Fashola, "we have over the
years strived to ensure that we have very
effective and reliable transportation system
on the road, on water and on rail system.
From the event of today, what we have done
is to make road infrastructure more
attractive, more reliable and more efficient
for those who chose to use this service,
especially those at the grassroots who will
make use of this from today.
"It will give users the opportunity to save,
instead of paying N120 or N70, you can also
buy a week or a month worth on your card
depending on your travel time which is more
effective and makes the process efficient and
fast."
He said the e-ticketing system was the first of
its kind in the country, saying that the
government was looking forward to attaining
the transportation system obtainable in
developed countries.
Managing Director, LAMATA, Dr. Dayo
Mobereola said the new system was being
developed not just for the BRT buses but also
for journeys on ferries and trains
subsequently.
He explained that the e-ticketing model was
to make it easier for passengers to be able to
travel at ease making use of this system as
"it is equitable, simple, easier for collection,
easy for control of operators, it is attractive
to both users also for the administrators as
well as the operators."

This is a welcome development!
