Politics › Why APC Is Scared Of National Dialogue - PDP by bcomputer101(op): 6:28am On Oct 25, 2013

THE leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP)
has slammed the All Progressive Congress(APC) over
its decisions to boycott the forthcoming national
dialogue,affirming that the opposition has nothing to
contribute for the progress of the nation.
The APC had, through its Interim National Publicity
Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
described the planned conference as diversionary and
that the Federal Government lacked credibility to
organise such a conference.
Mohammed said, “what we see today is that this
government has lost focus; it has lost credibility, it has
lost control of the economy. In any event, we see this
thing as nothing but a diversion and what are we
talking about a national conference for when even the
President(Dr. Goodluck Jonathan) himself has said the
outcome of the conference would be subjected to the
approval of the National Assembly?” the APC said.
The PDP, through its National Publicity Secretary of
the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, however, condemned the
APC as lacking ideas for national growth and
development,declaring that the dialogue was not a
conference of political parties but that of Nigerians of
various ethnic nationalities.
Describing the position of the APC as unpatriotic, the
PDP said Nigerians were ready to talk and
Dialogue,accusing the opposition party of operating
divison and discord as a tool for politics.
Said Metuh, “the APC thrives in sowing seeds of
discords and division. They promote ethnic interest
above national interest and they value the interest of
their Financial overlords.
“Nigerians have welcomed the
conference.Traditional ,religious leaders and leaders
of civil society have embraced the dialogue. If they
are boycotting,it is because they have nothing to
contribute to the progress of the nation?”
The PDP, he said ,believed in the national dialogue,
adding “we believe we can be better than what we are
today. We believe the goal is to bring up ideas to build
greater nation,” he said.

Foreign Affairs › Boy Carrying Toy Gun Killed By Police by bcomputer101(op): 6:18am On Oct 25, 2013

A 13-year-old boy carrying a replica assault rifle has been shot dead by police in the US state of California, the BBC reports.

Officers in the city of Santa Rosa say they opened fire after the boy refused orders to drop the rifle, which they believed to be real.

The shooting on Tuesday is now being investigated.

It comes a day after a 12-year-old boy in Nevada shot dead a maths teacher at his school and wounded two fellow pupils before taking his own life.

In the latest incident, two sheriff’s deputies saw the teenager “with what appeared to be some type of rifle”, a news release from the Sonoma County Sheriff’s office said.

The deputies called for backup and repeatedly ordered the boy to drop the gun before firing several rounds from their handguns, police said.

The boy, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was later identified by his family as Andy Lopez.

“He was holding the weapon in his left hand. He began to turn toward his right in the direction of the deputy, and in so doing he moved the gun toward the deputy, and the deputy’s mindset was that he was fearful he would be shot,” Lt Paul Henry of Santa Rosa police said.

But the boy’s father, Rodrigo Lopez said the shooting made no sense. “My son lost his life. He’s not alive any more just because of the mistake of somebody.”

The replica gun had belonged to a friend, he said.

The sheriff’s office said a plastic handgun had also been found in the boy’s waistband.

Politics › Calls For SNC, Invitation To Anarchy – Senate by bcomputer101(op): 5:40am On Oct 23, 2013

The Senate on Tuesday said that the calls for a
Sovereign National Conference by some Nigerians could
lead to anarchy.
It also pledged to provide the required legal framework
to ensure the success of the proposed National
Constitutional Conference.
The Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu,
said this when he received the Senator Femi
Okurounmu’s Presidential Advisory Committee on
National Dialogue, on behalf of Senate President David
Mark, at the new Senate building in Abuja.
He said, “When we hear people talking about Sovereign
National Conference, there must be a legal framework
for it.
“You don’t wake up one day, when you have a
constitutional constituents in place, and begin to say you
want a Sovereign National Conference to impose the will
of some people on everybody without a legal basis for
what they are doing.
“That means we are calling for anarchy. So, we believe
that we can now work together to make this work and at
the end, it will not be an effort in futility.”
Ekweremadu said the National Assembly would do
everything possible to ensure the amendment of the
Section nine of the constitution that would empower the
confab to produce a new constitution for Nigerians.
He said, “For us at the National Assembly, the most
important job in this exercise is to provide the necessary
legal framework that will support whatever the outcome
of both your own committee and the committee that will
come after it.
“We envisaged that from works that were done over
these years that a day such as this would come. We
proposed to our colleagues a possible amendment to
section nine of the Constitution that would provide a
legal basis to a possible new constitution.”
Ekweremadu noted that there was no provisions in the
1999 Constitution that empowers the National Assembly
to produce a new constitution, hence he said, the best
the federal lawmakers had achieved so far was an
amendment they carried out in 2010.
He expressed the hope that members of the House of
Representatives would also support the initiative in their
harmonization, especially now that their work was in
progress.
He expressed optimism that the confab committee would
create the framework for the constitution conference
exercise, to provide intellectual background that “would
enable those who will have the conversation to do
something that is seamless.”
Okurounmu said the main job of his committee was to
consult widely with all Nigerians in respect of the
proposed National Confereence particularly on what
should be the agenda of the conference.
He said the committee would also decide the size,
duration and how membership of the conference should
be chosen and what should be the legal basis of the
conference and the transmission of its out come to
Nigerians.
He said the committee had interracted with the people of
Plateau and Ondo State as part of the process to
converse with Nigerians in two states in each of the six
geo political zone of the country.

Politics › President Jonathan Leaves For Israel Today by bcomputer101(op): 5:33am On Oct 23, 2013

President Goodluck Jonathan will on Wednesday (today) embark on a Christian pilgrimage to Israel.

This was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, on Tuesday in Abuja.

Abati said contrary to media reports that the President would be traveling with 19 state governors and about 30,000 Nigerians, Jonathan would be accompanied by four ministers.

While describing the reports on the bogus number of entourage as a misrepresentation of facts, the presidential spokesman gave the names of those in the President’s entourage to include Senator Emmanuel Paulker; Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina; Minister of Water Resources, Mrs. Sarah Ochekpe; Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen; Minister of State (Foreign Affairs), Prof. Viola Onwuliri; and the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki.

The statement read in part, “While the President may meet and interact with some other Nigerians who are already on pilgrimage to Israel, reports in the media that he is leading 19 state governors and about 30,000 Nigerians to Israel are a misrepresentation of facts.

“Irrespective of President Jonathan’s visit, thousands of Nigerians visit Israel annually during the pilgrimage season which goes on for months and they will undoubtedly do so again between now and early next year.

“It is entirely fortuitous for some of these Nigerian pilgrims therefore that their visit to Israel this year will coincide with President Jonathan’s.

“President Jonathan is expected back in Abuja early next week.”

Abati said the President would meet with President Shimon Peres, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and members of the Israeli Parliament, the Knesset.

He said talks between Jonathan’s delegation and Israeli government officials would focus on the enhancement of bilateral relations between Nigeria and Israel.

The bilateral talks, according to Abati, will focus on areas including trade, economic development, infrastructure, transportation, agriculture, communications, culture, education and tourism.

IN ORDER NEWS:

ASUU Strike: Omotola Urges Students To Take
Action

Award winning Nigerian actress, Omotola Ekeinde, has
berated the Federal Government over the lingering
industrial action by members of the Academic Staff Union
of Universities.
Omotola, who in April made the Time’s list of the 100
most influential people in the world, took to her
Facebook and Twitter accounts on Tuesday to express
anger at the way the Federal Government is handling
education in the country.
The United Nations World Food Programme Ambassador,
who commands a following of 1,163,835 and 277, 040 on
Facebook and Twitter respectively, wrote that
government has a responsibility to provide qualitative
education to the citizenry.
She painted Nigeria as a sleeping giant and lamented
that with the ongoing strike the youths were simply
“wasting away.”
The actress said education “is a right and not a
privilege” and urged the affected Nigerian students to
stand up for their rights and take actions to right the
wrongs in the nation’s education system.
She wrote, “Education is a right, not a privilege. This
should be the first responsibility of every parent, state
and country to their child. Why are students of the most
populous black nation in the world, ‘Giant of Africa,’ not
in school?
“Where are all the educational funds? Why is there a
crippling silence when Nigerian schools have been shut
for almost four months and the youths are wasting away
with their future uncertain? Barka de Sallah. As we pray,
eat and relax on the occasion of this holiday, our youths
should spare sometime to think. Youths, your destiny is
in your hand.”
Her fans appear to have been challenged by her online
crusade. They lauded Omotola, who broke into trending
topics on the Nigerian social media space on Tuesday,
for being the first Nigerian celebrity to speak out against
the ASUU debacle.
A particular Facebook fan of Omotola, Esther Ukeh-
Negbo, wrote, “We thank you for coming out to support
the youths. Other celebrities are busy wearing the latest
designers to red carpet events. It is not their fault, they
are not in our shoes. You have proved yourself to be a
good mother who feels the pains of others. I hope to
follow in your footsteps in the future.”
Appreciating the actress for her concern, Chukwuemeka
Nwaeze, said on Facebook that it was high time the
government took education as a top priority as it obtains
in other parts of the world.
Nwaeze said, “Omosexy please tell our leaders. As you
can see, our government has deprived us this basic
rights because of their misplaced priority. May God help
us in this nation. Our leaders should know that education
is a top priority anywhere in the world. Thank you, my
sister, for bringing up this issue.”
Some university students affected by the strike observed
that the political class were paying lip service to the
educational sector because many of their children were
getting the best of education abroad.
Many of Omotola’s social media followers lamented that
it was pathetic and disgraceful that some African
countries were getting it right while the Nigerian
government had largely preoccupied itself with entering
into agreements without honouring them.
A Twitter user with the name Elpresie wrote, “Their
children are in private schools in London and in various
western countries. We should ask the FG why our future
leaders are wasting away in peril. It’s sad. You pick up a
newspaper and all you read about is the Peoples
Democratic Party’s internal crisis.”
They also blamed the dwindling voice of the mass of
Nigerian students on government who, according to
them, has broken into their ranks to achieve selfish
objectives.
“Some universities don’t even have a students’ union.
Some do have but they have been bought over,” a
Twitter user, Bukkie Gold, wrote.
While some of Omotola’s fans asked ASUU to continue
with the strike, a section of her followers disagreed,
saying the university teachers were asking for too much.
One Julie Ooja-Okoh wrote on Twitter that the strike
action was in order and should continue until
government shows readiness to adequately fund the
education sector. “Omo sexy, see me o. Imagine a
university where you have to hang on the window to
study, take lectures and write exams in that same
position to pass.”
But another Twitter user, Saltz Lounge, who believed
that ASUU has taken the industrial dispute too far, said,
“It’s not that the government is right as regards
development in education system but at this point I think
ASUU has over- pushed its demands. Has anybody ever
asked why state university lecturers are involved in this
strike action?”

Politics › ASUU Strike: Government Blinks, Agrees To Spend N200b Each For Four Years by bcomputer101(op): 6:19am On Oct 17, 2013*

VP Namadi Sambo and ASUU Representatives led by Dr.
Fagge

By SaharaReporters, New York
Towards ending the ongoing ASUU strike, the Federal
Government has committed to spending N200 billion
in the 2014 budget on the universities as well as on
each of the next three-four years until the universities
are brought to world-class standard. This is in
addition to the N100 billion dedicated and already
made available for 2013.
The government has also increased to N40 billion as a
first installment, funds for the payment of earned
allowances to the striking lecturers, an improvement
from the N30 billion previously released.
This information is contained in an internal Federal
University of Otuoke statement by Professor Bolaji
Aluko, its Vice-Chancellor, seen on Wednesday night
by SaharaReporters.
On the earned allowances, he explained,
“Government will top it up with further releases once
universities are through with the disbursement of this
new figure of N40 million, so Vice-Chancellors are
urged to expedite this disbursement within the
shortest possible time using guiding templates that
have been sent by the CVC,” the circular said.
Professor Aluko said the development followed
meetings on September 19 and Oct 11 of
representatives of the Association of Vice-Chancellors
of Nigerian Universities, led by CVC Chairman, Prof.
Hamisu of ATBU and ASUU Representatives led by its
President, Dr. N. Fagge with the Vice-President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria, Arc. Namadi. Sambo,
Minister of Education Barr. N. Wike and others.
Of great interest to stakeholders, Vice-President
Sambo, appealing to ASUU to call off the strike,
apologized for the "take-it-or-leave-it"; comments
credited to the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala at the onset of the strike. The Minister did not
seem to have been involved in either meeting,
perhaps as the government’s way of soothing the
feelings of the university teachers.
Other points of agreement at the meetings include the
following:
•Project Prioritization: Universities will now be allowed
to determine their priorities and not be “rail-roaded”
into implementing a pre-determined set of projects
with respect to the NEEDS assessment. Decisions are
not to be centralized.
•TETFund Intervention: Government assured that the
operations of the TETFund will not be impaired, and
that the regular TETFund intervention disbursement
to Universities will continue, unaffected. So the
NEEDS assessment capital outlays are in addition to
regular TETFund intervention.
•Project Monitoring: A new Implementation Monitoring
Committee (IMC) for the NEEDS Assessment
intervention for universities has been set up to take
over from the Suswan Committee. The new one is
under the Federal Ministry of Education and chaired
by the Honorable Minister of Education. In addition,
to build confidence and ensure faithful
implementation and prevent any relapse as before,
the Vice President will meet quarterly with the IMC to
monitor progress.
•Blueprint: ASUU was mandated to submit a blue print
for revitalizing the Universities to the Vice President.
Prof. Aluko further stated that a signed document will
soon be issued to itemize the full issues on which the
consensus he had outlined here, as brokered by
AVCNU, was reached.

Politics › ASUU, Doctors’ Strike ’ll End Soon, Says Jonathan President Goodluck Jonathan by bcomputer101(op): 1:37am On Oct 09, 2013

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said that
because of the importance his administration attached to the medical and educational sectors, he was determined
to do all within his powers to resolve all issues that
currently lead to labour disputes and strikes in both
sectors.
Resident doctors and members of the Academic Staff
Union of Universities are currently on strike.
Jonathan promised to resolve the labour crises while
granting audience to a delegation of the Nigeria Medical
Association led by its National President, Dr. Osahon
Enabulele, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
His promise was contained in a statement issued by his
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati,
at the end of the closed-door session.
“I believe that we must manage both (education and
medical) sectors in such a way that nobody engaged in
them will think of going on strike again. We will continue
to proactively evolve measures that will help us to
permanently overcome the problems that lead to strikes
by health and education professionals,” the President
was quoted as saying at the meeting attended by the
Minister of Labour, Emeka Wogu, Minister of Health,
Onyebuchi Chukwu and other top government officials.
Jonathan reportedly assured the delegation that his
administration would take necessary actions to ensure
that the right conditions were created for Nigerian
medical professionals to stay at home and avail
Nigerians of their skills and expertise instead of
migrating to other countries.
He said his government was determined to correct a
situation where about 25,000 Nigerian medical
consultants were currently practising in the United States
alone as confirmed to him by President Barack Obama.
He described as an anomaly a situation where this huge
number of Nigerian medical experts were abroad and yet
the nation could not treat its sick people in its own
hospitals
He said, “There is clearly a missing link somewhere and
we will do everything possible to fix it. We will continue
to work with professional bodies and all stakeholders to
come up with more policies and actions that will help us
overcome current challenges in our medical sector.
“We will work with the National Assembly to ensure the
quick passage of the National Health Bill. We will take
prompt action to reconstitute the Medical and Dental
Council of Nigeria. We will also consider
recommendations for the establishment of the Office of
the Surgeon-General of the Federation.
“I believe that we must always do what is best for our
country. We will review all the other issues you have
raised and act accordingly. When things are done
properly, issues of welfare and remuneration in the
health sector will disappear.”
The President also promised that the Federal
Government would explore the option of creating a
special intervention fund that would facilitate the rapid
establishment of more centres of medical excellence
across the country.

Politics › Fani-kayode Should Hide Himself In Shame – Aviation Minister by bcomputer101(op): 1:28am On Oct 09, 2013

The Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah, on Tuesday
hit back at Mr. Femi Fani-Koyede, describing him as an
ignorant individual, who “should hide his head in
shame.”
Fani-Kayode, a former minister of Aviation, had
criticised the Peoples Democratic Party for expressing
confidence in Oduah despite the air crashes that had
happened during her tenure as minister.
“How many more people have to be killed in air crashes
before our President (Dr. Goodluck Jonathan) realises
that he needs a new Minister of Aviation?” Fani-Kayode
had asked.
But Oduah said in Abuja that Fani-Kayode was
misleading innocent Nigerians and needed sympathy.
She spoke at an aviation safety event organised by the
Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation and hosted by
the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency.
Oduah said, “I have huge sympathy for them, the
ignorant people in particular. Because when you speak
out of context, when you speak under the influence of
whatever it is you are under, you speak incorrectly and
you mislead innocent Nigerians and that is what he has
done. And he really should hide his head in shame.”
Fani-Kayode, while reacting to Oduah’s comments about
him, asked the minister to grow up and stop being petty.
He said, “My advice and counsel to her is to grow up and
stop being petty. She is meant to talk like someone who
befits her office and not like a market woman or a fish
wife.
“I do not like joining issues with women publicly which is
why I was very gentle with her in my essay though I
made my point.
“But this particular woman is endangering the lives of
our people with her incompetence and insensitivity and
we cannot just keep quiet.
“This is a woman under whose watch almost 200 people
have been killed as Aviation Minister and instead of
focusing on how to save lives her obsession has become
smearing and abusing Femi Fani-Kayode.”
He said it was wrong for the minister to tell Nigerians
that ‘’accidents are inevitable’’ and that they were ‘’acts
of God.”
“This is a woman who thinks more about how her
headscarf looks, her jewelry and the jewelry of others
more than she does about protecting Nigerian air
travellers,” he added.
He said if anyone should bury her head in shame it
should be the minister and not him.

Politics › Ondo Govt Denies Hiring Crashed Associated Airline Plane by bcomputer101(op): 1:18am On Oct 09, 2013

Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko
Ondo State Government on Tuesday said it was not
involved in the hiring of Associated Airline plane, which
crashed in Lagos last Thursday while conveying the body
of the late former Governor Olusegun Agagu to Akure.
The state also said that the airline was not on the list of
airlines earlier listed and presented to the burial
committee set up by the government to organise a
befitting burial for the deceased.
These clarifications were contained in a statement by the
Ondo State Commissioner for Information, Kayode
Akinmade.
A spokesman for the Agagu family, Femi Agagu, had
reportedly said in a statement on Monday that the family
did not hire the crashed plane.
Akinmade said the clarification became necessary in
order to correct erroneous representations in media
reports.
The statement read in part, “The Ondo state
Government has clarified that it did not hire the aircraft
of Associated Airline, which crash-landed last Thursday
in Lagos, while conveying the body of former Governor of
the state, Dr. Olusegun Agagu, to Akure for the
commencement of the burial rites.
“Its determination to give the former governor a befitting
state burial made it set up a burial committee, which
met regularly with the family of the deceased to arrive at
a burial programme agreeable to the family. At one of
the meetings, the issue of the transportation of the body
from Lagos to Akure was discussed.
“The committee deferred to the family’s insistence that
the body be moved to Akure by air. The family thereafter
introduced Mr. Tunji Okusanya (now deceased) of MIC
Funeral as the official undertaker, who would make
necessary arrangements regarding the movement of the
body and the funeral.
“Thereafter, the MIC boss forwarded the names of
various airlines through an e-mail message to the
Committee, namely, Aero Contractor; OAS Helicopters;
Chachangi; Arik; Dana; and IRS as the airline operators
that have been contacted.”
He said the MIC boss indicated in his message that IRS
was not available for transportation of human remains
and that Dana aircraft had gone for maintenance while
Arik does not fly the Akure route, suggesting that
Chachangi was the best offer.
“It was neither the wish nor the prerogative of
government to indicate any preference for a particular
airline,” Akinmade said, stressing that the interface with
MIC, at the instance of the family, was necessary for
facilitation of payment.
“At no time was Associated Airline mentioned,” the
commissioner stressed.
“This is definitely not the time for this as we are still
mourning. It is pathetic losing any soul in the course of
paying homage to our former Governor, particularly
government officials and other bread winners of their
families, including the Managing Director of MIC, his son,
and other workers of his company,” he added.
Akinmade’s statement indicated that the state
government thanked the Federal Government for
ordering a thorough investigation into the crash in order
to prevent the occurrence of such tragedy in the future,
imploring the team of investigators to leave no stone
unturned in the course of their investigation.

Politics › Lagos SG Names Conditions For Releasing Confiscated Rams by bcomputer101(op): 5:41pm On Oct 08, 2013

The Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental
and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit says
it will release the 65 rams it arrested on
October 7, 2013, Monday, after their owners will
have put the environment in proper shape.
The taskforce had seized the rams because they were on
display for sale in a prohibited area around Ijora-Olopa of
Lagos.
Bayo Sulaiman, the Taskforce Chairman, Chief
Superintendent of Police, in his interview to P.M. NEWS
confirmed that the rams would be released to their owners
once they complied with the environmental laws of Lagos.
The official said the place where the rams were seized
was cleared last year as government wanted to beautify
the area, but that the ram sellers encroached on the area
and destroyed the aesthetics in the area as their rams ate
up the greens.
"We have locations where they can sell rams, let them go
there. They cannot just jump unto a place and start selling
rams. The rams were seized and taken away. In fact, their
owners are the one feeding them in the place we kept
them.
"They have to clear the mess in the area first before we
release their rams back to them. They should go to
authorized places to sell their rams," he stated.
Mr. Sulaiman stated that before the taskforce took the
decision to seize the rams, the ram sellers were warned to
leave the area at the weekend, but that they disregarded
government's directive.
The official also addressed to other ram sellers to use
designated places only, as the government would not
condone lawlessness and degradation of its environment.
