Politics / Nigeria’s Federation Still Built On Falsehood 61 Years After Independence, Gani by ArewaWife(m): 5:44pm On Sep 30, 2021 |
The Aareonakakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, on Thursday, lamented that it is unfortunate that Nigeria’s federation is still built on falsehood 61 years after independence. He noted that the country has the potential to be great again if the regions are given the autonomy to develop at their own pace. He said such would allow the states to build their security architectures and their respective economies to enhance a true federation. Adams made his position known in a statement titled, ‘At 61, Nigeria’s federation built on falsehood – Gani Adams’, signed by his Special Assistant on Media, Kehinde Aderemi. Adams The statement partly read, “Many would, no doubt, describe Nigeria as the giant of Africa, but the irony of our present situation in the country is that at 61, Nigeria’s federation was built on falsehood, and that has affected the entire system. “For instance, the spate of insecurity has reached an alarming state with bandits killing and maiming Nigerians every day. “The senseless killings, banditry and kidnappings across the land have been a major challenge for the present administration, and we cannot but call for Nigeria to be restructured along regionalism where all the six states in the South-West will control their fortunes and have their destinies in their own hands. Insecurity can only be tackled when each region has the autonomy to control their security architectures.” “The beauty of this is that each of the regions under this federation is blessed naturally with innate natural resources, solid minerals and agriculture can also do the magic for the less-productive region.” https://punchng.com/nigerias-federation-still-built-on-falsehood-61-years-after-independence-gani-adams-laments/?amp

Politics / Democracy Hasn’t Yielded Gains Since 1999 Because Ex-dictators Become Presidents by ArewaWife(m): 3:51pm On Sep 30, 2021 |
Foremost human rights activist and President of Centre for Change, Joe Okei-Odumakin, has said that civilian rule has not translated into democratic governance since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999 because those in power trample on the fundamental human rights and civil liberties of citizens. She also lamented that two of the four elected Presidents Nigeria have had since the return from the dark era of military despotism are ex-dictators. Okei-Odumakin stated this in a statement on Thursday titled, ‘Another Independence anniversary is here: Any cause for cheers?’ on the occasion of the 61st Anniversary of Nigeria which attained independence in 1960. Olusegun Obasanjo, a former military head of state between 1976 and 1979, was Nigeria’s democratically elected President from 1999 to 2007 while the incumbent President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), who was military head of state from 1983 to 1985, returned as elected President in 2015. The two other Presidents since 1999 are civilians — Umaru Yar’adua (2007 to 2010) and Goodluck Jonathan (2010 to 2015). In her statement, the activist, who is the widow of the late Afenifere scribe, Yinka Odumakin, said, “The Fourth Republic, which began in 1999, is the longest stretch of civilian rule that this country has witnessed. Unfortunately, rather than this calling for cheers, it has become the harbinger of despondency, despair, disappointment and frustration. “To start with, since 1999 civilian rule has not translated into democratic governance. Democratic and fundamental human rights and civil liberties have been trampled by the powers-that-be. It is instructive that two out of four so-called civilian presidents had been erstwhile military dictators.” She lamented that “insecurity which started like a joke in one corner of the country in1999 has now become a Frankenstein monster that has enveloped the entire country”. Okei-Odumakin added, “Going by every parameter and measurement indexes, the economy is at its lowest ebb ever: high cost of living, galloping inflation, mind-blowing unemployment rate, decrepit infrastructure and a crippling debt burden with little or nothing to show for it. “A vast majority of Nigerians are crying for restructuring. They are insisting that Nigeria cannot continue to wobble and fumble like it has done these past many years. There is the need to tinker with Nigeria – and to mend it. “It may be, then, that it would survive and that this Independence anniversary or the next will not be its last as many have predicted. A stitch in time saves nine! “The times call for solemn reflection and not any ostentatious or flamboyant celebration that runs counter to the mood and circumstance of majority of Nigerians. “Let the government show sensitivity to the plight of Nigerians. Let the leadership rise above petty sentiments and primordial interests to salvage the country. “That, then, will be the most befitting independence gift that the leaders can give to the people on this occasion of the country’s 61st anniversary.” https://punchng.com/democracy-hasnt-yielded-gains-since-1999-because-ex-dictators-become-presidents-okei-odumakin/?amp

Sports / West Brom Fan Jailed For Racist Abuse Of Midfielder Romaine Sawyers by ArewaWife(m): 2:48pm On Sep 30, 2021 |
Search Search the site Search for: Search … punchng.com © 1971-2020 The Punch newspaper PunchNG Menu: Video Spice Special Features Education Sex & Relationship Interview Columns Opinion Privacy Settings West Brom fan jailed for racist abuse of midfielder Romaine Sawyers Agency Report 30 September 2021 Kindly share this story: Gavel A fan of English Championship side West Brom was on Thursday jailed for eight weeks after being found guilty of racially abusing one of the club’s own players. Simon Silwood posted a message saying Romaine Sawyers should win the “Baboon d’Or” — a sarcastic reference to the Ballon d’Or trophy for the world footballer of the year — after his team’s 5-0 defeat by Manchester City at the Hawthorns on January 26. Silwood denied the offence, telling police that the message was “stupid, not racial”, adding autocorrect had changed the word “buffoon” to “baboon”. The 50-year-old, who has been banned for life by the club, was convicted last month at Walsall Magistrates’ Court, in central England, after District Judge Briony Clarke ruled he had meant the post to be offensive. The court heard Sawyers, currently on loan at Stoke City, was left feeling “harassed, alarmed and distressed” after reading it. Passing sentence on Silwood at Birmingham Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, Judge Clarke said: “There is no place for racism or racist abuse online. This clearly in my view crosses the custody threshold.” Clarke added: “I assess the remorse you have for your actions as very minimal indeed. “In my view, it (the offence) falls into the category of greatest harm. We have to accept it had a wider impact and a substantial impact on Mr Sawyers.” Earlier this month, another football fan was handed a suspended jail term for posting racist comments on social media, blaming three black players for England’s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy. Scott McCluskey singled out Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho in an abusive Facebook message after they missed their penalties in a shootout. https://punchng.com/west-brom-fan-jailed-for-racist-abuse-of-midfielder-romaine-sawyers/?amp |
