Business / Igbos Are The World Smartest People - Emmanuel Chen by blessedmayor(m): 9:46am On Jun 25, 2015 |
Few days ago, the internet picked up some steam about a young man who is partly Nigerian and partly Chinese, Chen Wang Emmanuel. Chen Wang Emmanuel prides himself as being an Igbo man and he thinks because his dad is a Chinese and his mum is an Igbo woman, he has got the greatest combination of genes in the whole world. READ ALSO: 4 Reasons You Should Marry An Igbo Lady “ My name is Chen Emmanuel, I’m half Chinese and half Nigerian. Dad is the Chinese, mom is Igbo. I think there are very few of us in the world maybe less than 20. I think Nigerian blood made I and my siblings way finer and different from the normal Chinese. We are way taller than the average short Chinese race. We look quite more appealing (I think) Better Hair…I think moms blood is strong We don’t have the “sleepy eye’ thing and some other private things…lol, ” he told Linda Ikeji. Chen’s family Emmanuel Chen is a 20 year old undergraduate of Civil Engineering at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Emmanuel’s parents met in Abia state about 20 years ago, where his mum used to be a secretary, they got married and still live happily today. Emmanuel’s Igbo name is Chinerorom but when he is in China, he uses Wang Chen. He is known as Emmanuel Chinero in his school. Chen dad and sibling Ynaija spoke with him and here are some of the things the handsome Chines-Nigerian had to say: Why he loves being Igbo : First, my mom is Igbo. Two, Igbo people to me are the smartest in the world. They can maneuver and blend anywhere in the world. I grew up here, so that makes me more fluent in Igbo. Growing up: So many memories I can’t recount. God has been faithful. I blend in both worlds. With the Igbo community and the Chinese too. Either ways I’m more familiar with the Igbos. I hear Igbo really well. Chinese a little. Growing up wasn’t that easy because I did not look like the normal Igbo kid. I had people who loved it and others who ‘yabbed’ it. Back then, I could not head to the market because there will always be people shouting everywhere, calling me ‘oyibo oyibo’. It was fun sometimes though. Sometimes, I have to speak Igbo to blend or change their minds, other times I just bow down my head and keep walking. For instance, the times when some traders try to cheat me in the market thinking I am a foreigner not knowing I have been there for a long time. Even in School, I faced the same thing but now I am used to it, it is very much fun. Chen and friend Hobbies : He loves music and is currently working on a Gospel Album that will feature Gospel singer, Nathaniel Bassey. “I started singing in secondary school after I was forced to lead praise one day because the worship leader was absent. I led truly and people were moved in a way I had never seen, even all my teachers were commending me and since then music was it for me. I love gospel music a lot and most inspiration comes from Donnie Mcclurkin. Nathaniel Bassey and Micah Stampley. I love swimming and intellectual games, I love meeting people. I hate being proud though some people feel I am. I love meeting new people a lot..especially singers and artists too” His upcoming album : I am not releasing the album to make profit. I will produce the songs for free. Some of my songs are danceable, especially the Igbo ones. I have also some worship song and solo works in the album. Favorite meal: My favorite meal would be Egusi soup and Eba Similarity between Igbos and Chinese : Well, both of them are very wise sets of people. Very committed to whatever they do. They know how to cooperate very well, they are money focused. I once heard of a Chinese man who had hotels but still drove a taxi to make more money. They uphold their traditions and festivals too. source naij.com

Health / What You Should Know About Ebola Virus Disease.(evd) by blessedmayor(m): 11:58am On Jul 29, 2014 |
Ebola virus disease (EVD) or Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) is the human disease caused by ebola viruses. Symptoms start two days to three weeks after contracting the virus with a fever, throat and muscle pains, and headaches. There is then nausea, vomiting and diarrhea along with decreased functioning of the liver and kidneys. At this point some people begin to have problems with bleeding.[1] The disease is first acquired by a population when a person comes into contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal such as a monkey or fruit bat. Fruit bats are believed to carry and spread the disease without being affected by it. Once infection occurs, the disease may be spread from one person to another. Men who survive may be able to transmit the disease sexually for nearly two months. To make the diagnosis, typically other diseases with similar symptoms such as malaria, cholera and other viral hemorrhagic fever are excluded. The blood may then be tested for either antibodies to the virus, the viral RNA, or the virus itself to confirm the diagnosis.[1] Prevention involves decreasing the spread of the disease from infected monkeys and pigs to humans. This may be done by checking these animals for infection and killing and properly disposing of the bodies if the disease is discovered. Properly cooking meat and wearing protective clothing when handling meat may be helpful, as may wearing protective clothing and washing hands when around someone sick with the disease. Samples from people with the disease should be handled with an extra degree of caution.[1] There is no specific treatment for the virus with efforts to help people including giving the person either oral rehydration therapy or intravenous fluids.[1] The disease has a high death rate: often between 50% and 90%.[1][2] It typically occurs in outbreaks in tropical regions of Sub-Saharan Africa.[1] Between 1976, when it was first identified, and 2014, fewer than 1,000 people a year have been infected.[1][3] The largest outbreak to date is the ongoing 2014 West Africa Ebola outbreak, which is affecting Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. A Liberian national who recently travelled to Nigeria died in Lagos as a result of the disease, none of those who had contact with him (Mr Sawyer) got infected. The disease was first identified in the Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Efforts are ongoing to develop a vaccine; however, none exists as of 2014.[1] Signs and symptoms Manifestation of Ebola begins abruptly with a sudden onset of an influenza-like stage characterized by general malaise, fever with chills, sore throat, severe headache, weakness, joint pain, muscle pain, and chest pain.[4] Respiratory tract involvement is characterized by pharyngitis with sore throat, cough, dyspnea, and hiccups. The central nervous system is affected as judged by the development of severe headaches, agitation, confusion, fatigue, depression, seizures, and sometimes coma. Cutaneous presentation may include: maculopapular rash, petechiae, purpura, ecchymoses, and hematomas (especially around needle injection sites). In general, development of hemorrhagic symptoms is indicative of a negative prognosis. However, contrary to popular belief, hemorrhage does not lead to hypovolemia and is not the cause of death (total blood loss is low except during labor). Instead, death occurs due to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) due to fluid redistribution, hypotension, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and focal tissue necroses. The average time between contracting the infection and the onset of symptoms is 13 days, but can be as long as 25 days.[5] Hemorrhage All people infected show some extent of coagulopathy and impaired circulatory system symptomology. [6] Bleeding from mucous membranes and puncture sites is reported in 40–50% of cases,[7] while maculopapular rashes are evident in approximately 50% of cases.[6] Sources of bleeds include hematemesis, hemoptysis, melena, and aforementioned bleeding from mucous membranes (gastrointestinal tract, nose, vagina and gingiva). However diffuse bleeding (i.e. heavy) is rare; occurrence is usually exclusive to the gastrointestinal tract.[6][8] Causes Main article: Ebolavirus EVD is caused by four of five viruses classified in the genus Ebolavirus, family Filoviridae, order Mononegavirales: Bundibugyo virus (BDBV), Ebola virus (EBOV), Sudan virus (SUDV), Taï Forest virus (TAFV). The fifth virus, Reston virus (RESTV), is thought to be not disease causing for humans and therefore not discussed here. Transmission EVD is believed to occur after an ebola virus is transmitted to a human index case via contact with an infected animal host.[citation needed] Human-to-human transmission occurs via direct contact with blood or bodily fluids from an infected person (including embalming of an infected dead person) or by contact with contaminated medical equipment such as needles.[citation needed] In the past, explosive nosocomial transmission has occurred in under-equipped African hospitals due to the reuse of needles and lack of implementation of universal precautions.[citation needed] Aerosol transmission has not been observed during natural EVD outbreaks.[citation needed] The potential for widespread EVD epidemics is considered low due to the high case- fatality rate, the rapidity of demise of patients, and the often remote areas where infections occur. |

Politics / Boko Haram Kidnap Wife Of Cameroon’s Vice Prime Minister by blessedmayor(m): 3:55pm On Jul 27, 2014 |
Boko Haram militants have attacked Kolofata, a town in Cameroon’s Far North Region near Nigeria and seized several people including the wife of Cameroon’s Vice Prime Minister Amadou Ali, a military commander in the region said. According to Reuters, the attack took place today, the celebration of the end of Ramadan. “The situation is very critical here now, and as I am talking to you the Boko Haram elements are still in Kolofata town in a clash with our soldiers,” said Colonel Felix Nji Formekong, the second commander of Cameroon’s third inter-army military region (RMIA3) based in the regional headquarters Maroua. “Some of them have already taken away the wife of Vice Prime Minister Ahmadou Ali and her house help while the bodyguards of the Vice Prime Minister have succeeded in taking him out of the town to Mora,” Formekong said, adding that there could be more casualties. Cameroon since it began crackdown on the insurgents in recent weeks has faced a series of counter attacks by the militants. On Friday, a military court in the country jailed about 20 members of the sect arrested in March for arms trafficking. Source p.m news |

Or at least that was what it looked like in the photos snapped in front of an Adidas billboard of the disgraced Uruguayan star giving an open-mouthed war cry above the suddenly ironic slogan “All or nothing.” Here are some of the photos.

Religion / Catholic Church Deplores Killing Of Jehovah's Witness Family In Mexico by blessedmayor(m): 11:47am On Nov 18, 2013 |
After the murder of a family of eight Jehovah's Witnesses who were killed with a knife , leaving only one survivor where presumably baby was kidnapped by the perpetrators , Father Edward Hayen said it was unfortunate this type of violence , calling it " wild " . " It hurts a lot to Catholics, although the family has not been of our religion , we hurt people especially because they are members of the community , who love the Lord and it hurts especially those who practice a religious faith ," he said . Valeria Romero and Lara April Castaneda, both age 4, were killed this morning along with Daniel Romero Castañeda 6 , Rosa María Morelos 60 and Maria del Carmen Castaneda , 28. Also killed Ruben Romero 28 years and a man who has not been identified . The murder occurred in the intersection of Luciano Becerra and Fernando Montes de Oca of the Morelos Zaragoza. The family would come in the morning at an event hosted by his congregation , however by not attending , his companions went to his home to look for them and to meet the brutal scene gave warning to the authorities. The cathedral pastor said violence is difficult to eradicate not only in Ciudad Juarez , but throughout Mexico. He explained that as religious it remains to ask you to come a new world and continue working for him, making reform all institutions, defining it as a clean of anything that smacks of corruption , hatred and violence . " When we remove God from the minds of men , but our human beings are turning into people who do terrible damage to the community , the man is turning into a little monster and does not measure the consequences of their actions," said Hayen . Extended an invitation to all Christians to make a prayer for those people who died , however you should also said to ask for those who committed the crime to find remorse for his actions. ...source.http:// theworldnewsmedia.org/ Iglesia+Católica+lamenta +homicidio+de+familia +Testigo+de+Jehová+en +México

Jokes Etc / Somebody, Everybody, Anybody, And Nobody by blessedmayor(m): 5:07pm On Oct 18, 2013 |
Once there were four managers. Their names were: Somebody, Everybody, Anybody, and Nobody. They were very busy people, but whenever there was an important job to be done, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did. When Nobody did it, Everybody got angry because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Somebody would do it, but Nobody realized that Nobody would do it. So consequently Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place.. Can anyone summarize? |

Religion / Do You Believe That You Have The One True Religion? by blessedmayor(m): 3:02am On Oct 06, 2013 |
Those who are serious about religion should think that the one they’ve chosen is acceptable to God and Jesus. Otherwise, why would they be involved in it? Jesus Christ didn’t agree with the view that there are many religions, many roads, all leading to salvation. Rather, he said: “Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.” (Matthew 7:14) |

Food / Alcohol: The Benefits Of Moderate Drinking by blessedmayor(m): 7:29pm On Sep 30, 2013 |
Drinking alcohol in moderate amounts can have positive influences on physical and mental health. While alcohol is one of the most widely abused substances on the market, it is also one that features certain benefits for drinkers who consume it in safe amounts. For individuals who consume low levels of alcohol, benefits like reduced stress, increased cardiovascular health and decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes offer a wealth of reasons for consumers to drink in moderation. Reduce Stress, Anxiety and Tension Research shows that the consumption of alcohol in moderate amounts can lead to certain psychological benefits. Low levels of alcohol can trigger stress reduction, easy feelings of anxiety and help consumers to reduce tension. In addition, low levels of alcohol consumption can also cause the consumer to feel more pleasant and relaxed. Studies on sleep show that people who drink in moderation get more sleep on average than do those who indulge in excess. These psychological effects of moderate drinking are positive ones that can be beneficial to the consumer. A Longer Life The positive psychological effects of drinking in moderation can be associated with the studies that show moderate drinkers tend to love longer than people who don't drink at all or those who drink in excess. Studies from a number of different countries including China, the United States and England indicate that longevity is highest among groups of people who drink alcohol in moderation. Increased Cardiovascular Health Several studies have shown that drinking alcohol in moderation has a positive correlation with certain aspects of cardiovascular health. In particular, the risk of developing coronary artery disease is significantly lowered in conjunction with moderate consumption of alcohol. Another link between alcohol and cardiovascular health shows that moderate consumption of alcohol has a positive correlation with survivability in the event of a heart attack. Those who drink low levels of alcohol are more likely to live and less likely to experience another heart attack. Alcohol produces several positive effects on the body when consumed in low levels. For example, it increases levels of good cholesterol (HDL) and lowers levels of bad cholesterol (LDL). Alcohol also acts as a blood thinner once it enters the human body, much like common aspirin does. Thus, when consumed in moderation, it can reduce the likelihood of developing blood clots in arteries. Decreased Risk for Type 2 Diabetes While consuming alcohol in large quantities has been proven to put drinkers at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes, some studies show that drinking in moderation might have the opposite effect. The relationship between alcohol and type 2 diabetes is the focus of a great number of ongoing studies. Findings show, however, that moderate drinkers are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than heavy drinkers. All of these health benefits associated with moderate drinking serve as an incentive for consumers to limit their levels of alcohol intake. Too much alcohol eliminates the health benefits described above. The best way to maximize on the health benefits of alcohol is to consume it in low levels. |

Food / 5 Things To Eat To Lose Weight. by blessedmayor(m): 8:24pm On Jul 31, 2013 |
Stop worrying about your weight, just eat right. Here are five tips you need to keep in mind. Have a healthy breakfast The cardinal rule to any weight loss programme is never to miss breakfast. And oatmeal, a complex carbohydrate is ideal. It is a satisfying breakfast cereal, and compared to any other grain it provides more protein per serving. The fact that it takes longer to digest and hence releases energy slowly makes it perfect because you feel full for longer. Oats also keep blood sugar and insulin levels stable, which helps prevent fat storage. Have it with skimmed milk or yogurt. Opt for skimmed milk Milk and its products are rich in calcium and can help keep your bones strong. Skimmed milk, low fat cheese and yogurt helps to break down fat cells. Bean it Foods that are high in fibre and are good sources of protein, can help you feel full for a very long time. And that, will help you control unnecessary bingeing. Protein has a very high satiety index and that is why make proteins an essential part of your meals. Go for the grain Grains have complex carbohydrates which during digestion release glucose slowly. Jowar, bajra and ragi etc can help in maintaining your blood sugars levels. The fibre and vitamins in them play an important role too. Snack on nuts through the day Stay away from fried and salted nuts but you can munch on raw, unsalted ones — almonds, and walnuts. These have essential roughage, protein, fat, minerals and micronutrient. A handful can keep hunger at bay and provide energy.

Music/Radio / Your Headphones Can gradually turn You Deaf by blessedmayor(m): 8:03pm On Jul 31, 2013 |
You could be turning deaf because of your headphones. Our expert lists a guide of what you should avoid while listening to your favourite tracks on the go Is music your safe haven from the hellish traffic jams you travel through everyday? You might need to re-think this strategy. Drowning out incessant honking on our potholeridden roads with Comfortably Numb, might just be numbing your eardrums for life. Like Rajeev Khandelwal who loses his hearing in Soundtrack, thanks to his constant use of headphones as a DJ; the actor's on-screen nightmare can actually become your reality. In today's world of iPods and phones that can play music, most people are plugged in constantly. Our expert Dr Nishit Shah, ENT consultant at Bombay Hospital tells you what you can do to avoid losing your sense of sound. Play it loud Listening to music at half the volume your player is obviously not damaging. It all depends on the volume and how long you are listening to it. Shah says, "There are guidelines laid down by World Health Organization as to what decibels are permissible. Most workplaces and music player manufacturers adhere to these guidelines. But constant exposure is still a problem." Cranking up the volume for longer periods of time is very dangerous, and can lead to partial deafness. The higher the volume gets the lesser amount of time the ear can take it. Uncomfortably numb Unlike people who go deaf during a bomb blast or hearing the sonic boom of a plane, deafness caused by headphones creeps on you and if not checked, the effects can be adverse. "I have seen people who show no obvious signs of deafness when they are young, can hardly hear anything when they reach their 60s." Studies show that this is common among people who go for a lot of concerts and clubs. Shah says, "Deafness caused due to listening to music does not happen overnight. The ear warns you before things can get really bad with tinnitus. You get a ringing sound in your ear, which means hearing loss is imminent. When you exit a club, your ears feel relieved and you can't hear too well immediately. That's because your ears are adapting to the new environment." In fact, Shah says that moving from an extremely loud place (like a club) to an extremely quiet place can be more damaging than exposing yourself to higher decibels for longer. Right hear, right now Studies have shown that other than musicians and people in studios who want to listen to intricate sounds of a particular track, most people listen to music on headphones loudly to drown out background noise. The standard ear piece or even normal headphones are no good. Shah recommends using in-ear headsets or noise reduction/cancellation headphones that naturally drown out background noise. He says, "People who use these headsets have a tendency to listen to music at a lower volume anyway. So, if you want to listen to something throughout the day this would be the best way to avoid loss of hearing." The cure The scariest part about losing your hearing ability is that there is nothing you can do to regain it. The strongest preventive drug doctors prescribe is "common sense". Shah says, "Most people don't buy headphones because of quality, they buy it because it is loud enough. How do you tell people otherwise? You have to be aware of what is happening to your ears. As soon as you feel any discomfort, take a break. You cannot listen to music loudly for eight hours in a row. This will obviously affect your hearing." If you feel like you are losing your sense of hearing, head to an ENT immediately. In the first few days of being affected, your hearing can be repaired with the help of steroids, but very few people actually spot the impediment so soon. Then, of course, there are hearing aids. These are used when the damage is already done though, and you want to avoid that altogether. Just how much is too much? Research suggests that risk of permanent hearing loss goes up with just five minutes of exposure a day to music at full volume. Traffic noise is at about 70 to 80 decibels. If you're trying to drown this out, you will hit dangerous decibel levels. Listening to earbuds, or in-ear headphones, for 90 minutes a day at 80 percent volume is probably safe. However, different brands have different volumes and that needs to be factored into the decision to buy headsets

Politics / US Court Jails Nigerian for 90 Years For impregnating daughters by blessedmayor(m): 9:05pm On Jul 30, 2013 |
An award-winning Nigerian music director, Aswad Ayinde, found guilty of fathering children with his daughters, will spend the rest of his life in jail. Ayinde, 55, of Paterson, New Jersey, United States, was sentenced to 50 years in prison on Friday after being found guilty in the second of five expected trials, in which he is accused of repeatedly raping his six daughters, resulting in six children which he fathered. Ayinde was found guilty in his latest trial of having intercourse with a daughter, when she was as young as eight years old. According to the Mail Online report, the second sentence adds to the 40 years sentence Ayinde received in a 2011 trial for sexually assaulting a separate daughter. Ayinde is known for directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 smash hit, Killing Me Softly. Fugees had international recording artistes like Wyclef Sean and Lauryn Hill. In a disturbing disclosure during his first trial, Ayinde's former wife said he was trying to create a 'pure family bloodline' by impregnating his daughters. He even claimed during a pre- trial hearing before the first trial that 'the world was going to end, and it was just going to be him and his offspring and that he was chosen.' In this latest trial, it was revealed that Ayinde began having intercourse with his second daughter from the time she was eight years old, impregnating her four times. The sexual assaults happened for almost 30 years until Ayinde and his wife separated, officials said. They occurred in numerous homes across northern New Jersey, even while the family was under watch of state child welfare officials. Some of the rape episodes even took place in an abandoned funeral home. The family, moving as far away as Florida to avoid investigation after case workers removed multiple children from Ayinde household in 2000, resulting in Ayinde being arrested for kidnapping for trying to take them from state custody in a medical center. He pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received a year's probation - as he continued raping one daughter for at least another two years, according to officials. The depraved father also beat and starved the girls, using wooden boards and steel-toed boots for even 'minor transgressions,' Ayinde's wife was said to have testified at the first trial. Some of the children Ayinde fathered with his daughters were born in the home, with at least two babies, who died in the home having been buried without notifying authorities or obtaining birth certificates. Ayinde's tortured daughters were home-schooled and isolated from other children, so as to keep the family secrets hidden, the station added. With his wife too afraid to confront him, Ayinde carried out his evil plan without hindrance, even while directing the music video for the Fugees 1996 breakout hit, 'Killing Me Softly, for which he won 'Best R&B Video' at the 1996 MTV Music Video Awards.

Politics / Boko Haram: Let’s Do Whatamerica Did To Mexico —nigerian Serving In The Usarmy by blessedmayor(m): 7:45am On Jul 24, 2013 |
MAJOR Wisdom Osagiede Ogbewekon-Osemwende is a Nigerian serving in the United States Army; he served in Iraq during the American/Iraqi war. A member of the Benin royal family, he is currently attached to the African Command in Germany. In this interview conducted by telephone, he spoke on the security challenges facing the country and how the Boko Haram insurgency can be tamed. Excerpts: On security challenges in Nigeria Terrorism is an enduring situation worldwide. In Nigeria, this is causing a lot pains to the people and the armed forces. The extreme ideology of the Boko-Haram sect and what is happening in the North is very disturbing. Northern leaders such as the late Sarduana of Sokoto, Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa; Mallam Aminu Kano; the late Major Gen Joseph Garba; and many others who labored to make the North what it is today will never forgive the sect for what they have turned the region into and I know that average northerners are good people and are not in support of what they are doing. I am however pleased with what President Jonathan is doing to curtail the insurgency and the Niger Delta militants and needs the support of all Nigerians. On security challenges, the country needs to create special branches in the armed forces, that is, the army, navy and air force that would be given specialized training on how to handle terrorism; they should be able to fight on land, sea and in the desert. This special force should be deployed to the Gulf of Guinea to maintain peace in the area. There should be combined operations involving the army, navy and the air force to curtail the activities of Boko Haram; it should not be left in the hands of the police or army alone. Stability of operations This follows after combined operations of the military. They must not leave the scene of operations immediately, they should stay to stabilize operations and return normalcy to the area. Border patrol A division that is made up of men and officers from all branches of the armed forces should be created to join the Customs, Immigration and police to patrol our porous borders with Cameroun, Chad, Niger, etc . They should effectively man the border points because this is where the Boko Haram people leave for Mali and Mauritanian for training. The Nigerian government should be prepared to spend money on technology, censors and radars should be mounted at sensitive border points to monitor what is going on. The Federal Government can establish three central control divisions to man Nigerian/ Cameroun, Nigerian/Niger, and Nigerian/Chad borders with radar installed to monitor the movements of people. The radar will send information to the central divisions and place those on patrol at alert. This is what the Boko-Haram people do and they move with ease in and out of the country to train in Mali and other countries. There is also the need to install underground sensors along the borders with our neighbours that will send signals to the central control system which, in turn, calls for air support in cases of emergency. The security agencies should train dogs to sniff persons and cars coming into the country because terrorism takes time to plan. It is not done overnight. They select targets to be attacked, they have good intelligence network and so, to counter them, you must have an intelligence gathering system that is superior to their own. How to defeat terrorism Government should allocate more funds for the education of youths in the North; by so doing terrorists would not be able to brainwash or indoctrinate them on their cause. Northern youths should be able to compete with their southern counterparts in every field of human endeavours once they get the right education. Nigeria should subscribe to the African Military High Command to make her strong in the continent; for training, special assistance, among others. *Ogbewekon The police should be properly equipped, they should have a rescue combat training and, above all, Nigerians should have faith in the police and know that they are serving their interest. I recall hosting some Nigerian police officers sent to the United States on community policing with another Nigerian U.S. army officer, Lt. Col. Oronsaye, and we tasked them to ensure that the training they received in the U.S should be well implemented while back in Nigeria. While I commend the Inspector- General of Police, Mr. Muhammed Abubakar, for the innovation that he brought into the police, the men should be adequately funded, supported with adequate logistics provided, computerized vehicles for crime detection and arrests. All Nigerians get national identity cards entered into a national data base. You must have records of people living in the country including foreigners. The Federal Government should erect walls along our borders with our neighbours as the United States government did along its Mexican borders when it became clear that there were illegal aliens entering the country through its borders with Mexico. The Federal Government should dialogue with religious leaders in the North especially Imams on the dangers of allowing Boko-Haram to keep weapons in the mosques. We discovered this in Iraq and we talked with them about the dangers of allowing them to do so. The Boko-Haram sect and the Niger Delta militants should dialogue and embrace because there is no nation on earth that can survive two wars. Nigerians should give peace a chance. Crisis in the Niger Delta and oil theft It is regrettable that Nigeria reportedly lost about 191 Billion U.S. dollars to oil theft and vandalization. I commended the Joint Military Task Force set up by the government to tackle the issue. They should concentrate more efforts in tackling the issue and they should be properly equipped to provide security to Nigerians living in the region. The militants should embrace peace.

Politics / NIGERIA Is Losing 400,000 Barrels Of Oil Daily by blessedmayor(m): 7:22am On Jul 19, 2013 |
Delta State Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan broke the news yesterday to State House correspondents at the end of the National Economic TCouncil (NEC) meeting chaired by Vice President Namadi Sambo. The NEC, which comprises the 36 governors, ministers of National Planning, Finance, FCT and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, also took steps yesterday to curtail the rising incidence of oil theft. Such steps include immediate prosecution of oil vandals and thieves. The daily loss of 400,000 barrels at an international price of $117 per barrel, converted to naira at the exchange rate of N157 to a dollar, is N7.35 billion daily. Uduaghan, who was appointed to head the Oil Theft Committee at last month’s NEC meeting, said the committee was working on long and short term strategies against the menace. On the interim measures being taken, he said: “A technical level meeting involving key stakeholders has been held, where concerned agencies including security outfits have made useful submissions, with more submissions expected from other stakeholders, especially from the oil producing states. The governor added: “The Committee has moved to address the issue of the 400, 000 barrels per day production shortfall. The Governors of Bayelsa and Delta have been mandated to meet with the concerned oil majors and the JTF to work out modalities for the effective repair of the Nembe and Trans Niger pipelines which are currently shut. “The Committee also mandated Akwa Ibom Governor Godswill Akpabio, Secretary to National Planning Commission, the NEITI chief executive and a representative of the Inspector-General of Police to meet with the Attorney- General of the Federation towards strengthening the extant deterrence policy by ensuring more arrests and convictions of the oil thieves.” “In this regard, a meeting of the Governor Akpabio-led Committee with the AGF this morning agreed on the following resolutions: A legal task force, headed by Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mohammed Adoke to be set up immediately to commence prosecution of proven cases, using relevant laws; particularly the Miscellaneous Offences Act which carries a sentence of 21 years without option of fine.” According to him, the legal task force, which is to be in force for one year with effect from July, 2013, is to be made up of representatives from the NNPC, the Armed Forces, Civil Defence, Police, SSS and other related agencies. Prosecution of established cases will continue, he said, adding that members of the task force would be announced by the AGF July 22. It is believed that there are about 300 people in custody. “The Council commended the efforts of the Committee and further urged it to ensure that the bid to repair the shut pipelines is achieved within the targeted period of six to eight weeks.” Also at the briefing, the Gombe State Governor, Ibrahim Dankwabo, who chairs the NEC Ad-hoc Committee on the 2012/2013. Federal/State Governments Borrowing Plans, gave an update on its efforts towards facilitating and co-ordinating easy access to the international development funds already cleared by the National Assembly by interested states. According to him, only 10 states have so far indicated interest in the various loans targeted at funding high impact projects in such critical areas of infrastructure, including housing, water supply, erosion control and employment generation. He said that the council called on interested states to liaise with the Federal Ministry of Finance to be properly guided on the loans’ conditionalities and modalities for assessing them. On grazing reserves, Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako disclosed that the Council was presented with a memorandum on how to address grazing reserves towards boosting food security. He said cows should be on “zero” grazing just as horses that are fed in their stables. Roaming the countryside for fodder is unproductive and no longer acceptable, as it promotes friction and clashes between cattle rearers and farmers, the governor said. According to him, the Council set up a Committee comprising the Federal ministries of Agric, Water Resources, Interior, Environment, Boundary Commission and the National Planning Commission to work out the modalities for producing a comprehensive recommendation on establishing grazing reserves, in collaboration with the States. The Council, he said, mandated him to chair the national co- ordination efforts. The Governors of Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Ondo, Adamawa, Kaduna and Benue will coordinate the efforts in various geopolitical zones within eight weeks. The Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike, said that 80 schools had been built nationwide as part of the effort towards addressing the high number of out-of-school children under trhe Almajiri Education Programme. The programme will take off by the next academic calendar in September. The Council recommended that the Federal Government should provide textbooks, furniture and laboratory items. The state government are to feed the children and provide them uniforms – in collaboration with the Federal Government. Among the governors at the meeting yesterday were Delta, Niger, Adamawa, Benue, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Ondo. Sokoto and Rivers deputy governors were there. |
Politics / Warri North Crisis: Ijawyouths To Hand Over Arms by blessedmayor(m): 6:46am On Jul 19, 2013 |
By Godwin Oghre Sapele—If information reaching Vanguard is to be relied upon, the Egbema Radical Group, ERG, the Ijaw militants, which claimed responsibility for the killing of no fewer than 12 Itsekiri natives and burning down of seven villages belonging to Itsekiris in Warri North Local Government Area of Delta State, will hand-over their arms and ammunition to the Joint military Task Force, JTF, Operation Pulo Shield. The JTF is under the command of Lt Col Frank Etim, the Commanding Officer of the 3 Battalion of the Army Koko Barracks, Warri North. It was gathered, yesterday, that the militant had promised to hand over their arms on July 17, 2013 and that they preferred to do so in Ogbudugbudu community, an Ijaw suburb in Warri North, but failed to do so on Wednesday, as they claimed there were no concrete arrangements that would guarantee their safety during the exercise. A prominent member of Egbema Gbaramatu Kingdom, Reverend Sam Eke, told Vanguard on phone that the handover of arms and ammunition was botched on the part of the Ijaw militants and that a new arrangement was in progress as a new date would be communicated to JTF and the council authority after a council meeting in Abuja of prominent Ijaw and Itsekiri leaders. The militants were said to be ready to hand-over their arms on the condition that their safety would be guaranteed. When Vanguard visited Koko, the headquarters of the council, senior military officers and ratings as well as other JTF men were seen prepared to receive the militants and their arms and ammunition. They were also joined in the waiting by some prominent Ijaw and Itsekiri leaders as well as the Chairman of Warri North council, Mr David Edun and other senior official of the council, all of who waited in vain as the militants did not turn up for reason which was later attributed to poor security guarantees. The council Chairman, Edun told Vanguard, during the waiting period that no date had been given for the handover and that negotiation was still in progress with a view to concluding arrangement between security officials and the militants. |
