PoliticsBREAKING: Reps In Rowdy Session Over June 12 Democracy Day Declaration by boman2014(op): 1:25pm On Jun 07, 2018
The House of Representatives is currently in a rowdy session over President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to declare June 12 as Nigeria’s Democracy Day.


While some lawmakers supported it, others asked the president to rescind his decision.

Some of the lawmakers also kicked against the honour given to Moshood Abiola, the presumed winner of the
June 12,1993 presidential election.

Some lawmakers who also spoke on the issue said there is need to ensure the rule of law is followed
regarding the matter, while others spoke in favour of the president’s decision.

Details later…..

PoliticsPDP Reacts After Buhari Honoured MKO Abiola by boman2014(op):
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the national
honour proposed to be conferred on the acclaimed
winner of June 12, 1993, Chief MKO Abiola, by President Muhammadu Buhari, smacks of hypocrisy and political desperation ahead of 2019 presidential election.


PDP declares that President Buhari's action merely sought to use the name and person of Chief Abiola to
gain a political capital and not out of genuine reverence and recognition for him.

The party recalls that President Buhari, who was
serving in the military administration of General Sani
Abacha during the travails of Chief MKO Abiola, did not associate either by words or actions with the late winner of June 12 election.

The party further stated that history did not record
President Buhari as sympathetic to the Abiola's family
when his wife, Kudirat, was gruesomely murdered by
the agents of a government which President Buhari
served.

It is therefore a sign of political desperation for President Buhari to seek to use Chief Abiola's name as
a tool to sway Nigerians in less than twelve months to
an election where he, (President Buhari) is seeking a
second term.

It is also shocking that the respectable grave of Abiola
can be dishonoured by granting a posthumous award
on him along with someone who denounced the June
12 mandate and preferred the company of his (Abiola's) traducers.

Even those who now masquerade as change agents
were opposed to the naming of University of Lagos after Chief Abiola.

If President Buhari genuinely wants to honour Chief
Abiola, he should do so by ending all anti-democratic
proclivities of his administration and allow for the rule
of law and respect for our constitution.

The PDP therefore urges President Buhari to shed his
desperate actions in his quest to win the 2019 presidential election as Nigerians can no longer be
deceived by such antics.

PoliticsAso Rock's 2018 Budget: N1bn For Clinic, N46m For Generators, N24m For Ranching by boman2014(op): 11:22am On Jun 07, 2018
Aso Rock, Nigeria’s seat of power, will be getting at least N11.5 billion as its allocation in the 2018 budget.

Of that amount, N45.68 million was budgeted for power plants and generator fuel. N45.54 million was budgeted for the same item in the 2017 budget, N140,000 lesser than that of this year.

Also, a total of N1 billion was budgeted for the Aso Rock Medical Centre, while it got N331.7 million during the 2017 fiscal year, thus an extra allocation of N668.2 million.

This is different from the N36.8 million meant for “drugs and medical supplies” for the state house – and yes, the N1 billion covers a sum of N208.3 million meant for the same purpose.

There is also a separate N51.8 million budgeted as “medical expenses” for the seat of power, and another N15.8 million allocated for “digital medical references”.

Last year, TheCable found out that the state house clinic – not used by the president who seeks medical attention abroad – did not have the commonest of medications, paracetamol, syringe, cotton wool etc.

The sum of N907.1 million was budgeted for the purchase of new vehicles for Aso Rock while N165 million would be used for the maintenance of existing ones. In 2017, N100.8 million was used for purchase of new vehicles while N188 million was budgeted for maintenance of available ones.

A total of N28 million was budgeted for the state house ranch as well as for “wildlife conservation capture”, while the garden, “routine floral arrangement” and upgrade of helipad grassfield got N24 million.

PoliticsAnother Bridge Built By Governor Rochas Okorocha Collapses In Owerri (photo) by boman2014(op): 10:40am On Jun 07, 2018
The bridge at the Children’s Amusement Park located
at the Ikemba Ojukwu Centre in Owerri, Imo, built by
Gov. Rochas Okorocha’s administration has collapsed.


Witnesses at the scene told the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Owerri on Wednesday that nobody
was killed or injured in the incident.

The incident which caused pandemonium in the area,
gave room for criticism by some parents whose
children visited the place on May 27 during the 2018
Children’s Day Celebration.

A NAN Correspondent, who visited the scene, reports
that the incident occurred after a heavy downpour on
Tuesday night.

The bridge, being a major tourism site, has been used
to generate funds for the state government.

When contacted, the State Commissioner for Happiness and Purpose Fulfillment, Mrs Ogechi Ololo, told NAN that she had yet to be briefed on the cause of the incident.

Mr Collins Ibe, who witnessed the incident, told NAN
that the windstorm that accompanied the downpour
might be responsible for the collapsed of the bridge.
Another witness, Mrs Mary Nlemadim, said: “It is
unfortunate that this is happening in the state,
especially at a place that is supposed to be a
recreation centre.

“I thank God that it happened in the night when people
were not around; otherwise, there might have been
casualties.

“I urge the state government and engineers working on
construction projects in the state to be more dedicated
and thorough,” she said.

Also, an Engineer, Mr Okechukwu Uba said: “There is
need to critically look at all the construction projects
going on in the state.

“This is necessary to avoid unnecessary waste of
resources, time and human capacity.

“These projects need to get proper approval from
professional hands or bodies; they also need to be
properly supervised by qualified and experienced
personnel.

“Again, they have to be done systematically and not
many things at the same time.

“These projects need to be finished up in a tidy manner
and subjected to stress tests where necessary, before
being opened to the public,’’ he said.

NAN reports that the state Chairman of the Nigeria
Society of Engineers, Mr Emeka Ugoanyawu, had
earlier warned against substandard engineering work
in the state.

Also, the National President of Council for the
Regulation of Engineers in Nigeria (COREN) Mr Kashim
Ali, had recently faulted the quality of a flyover
constructed by the Okorocha administration, located at
Orji.

Ali, as a matter of urgency, urged Gov. Okorocha, to
stop work on the flyover.

PoliticsNational Assembly Lists Resolutions After Marathon Meeting by boman2014(op): 4:33pm On Jun 05, 2018
After marathon meeting between the House of
Representatives and the Senate, the National Assembly on Tuesday listed conditions for peace between the legislature and the executive arms of government.

The lawmakers, arising from the over two hours closed
meeting, also threatened to invoke their constitutional
powers should the President fail to adhere to the
resolutions as they passed a vote of no confidence on
the Inspector General of police, Idris Ibrahim.

Here are the resolutions:



Senate President Bukola Saraki reports that at the joint
session, the National Assembly resolved as follows:


1. The Security Agencies must be given marching orders to contain all the sustained killings of Nigerians
and protect the lives and properties of Nigerians — as
this is the primary duty for any responsible government.

2. The systemic harassment by the executive of perceived political opponents — people with contrary
opinions in the legislature and the judiciary — by the
police and other security agencies must stop.

3. There must be strict adherence to the rule of law and protection for all citizens by the President and all his appointees.

4. The President must be held accountable for the
actions of his appointees and must be ready to sanction, those that carry out any act, that will ridicule
or endanger the country and our democracy.

5. The government should show sincerity in the fight
against corruption by not being selective and also
prosecute current appointees that have cases pending
against them.

6. The sanctity of the National Assembly should be
protected and preserved by the federal government and
prosecute those who invaded the Senate to seize the
mace.

7. Democratic elections must be competitive and inclusive by removing the current reign of fear and
intimidation — particularly as we approach the
forthcoming 2019 elections.

8. The National Assembly will liaise with the
international community through the IPU, the APU,
ECOWAS Parliament, Pan-African Parliament, EU, US
Congress and the United Nations to secure our democracy. The National Assembly will also engage
with civil society organizations trade unions and NGOs
to further deepen and protect our democracy.

9. The President must take immediate steps to curtail
the growing level of poverty and unemployment in
Nigeria — especially now that we have an advantage
of high oil prices.

10. Both chambers of the National Assembly hereby
pass a vote of confidence on the Senate President, the
Speaker and the entire leadership of the National
Assembly.

11. We also hereby reaffirm our earlier resolution on
the vote of no confidence on the Inspector General of
Police, who does nothing but preside over innocent
Nigerians with an outright disregard for constitutional
authority of both the executive and the legislature.

12. The National Assembly will not hesitate to invoke
its constitutional powers if nothing is done to address
the above resolutions passed today.

PoliticsWill Buhari Win The 2019 Election? by boman2014(op): 4:14pm On Jun 05, 2018
Punch columnist, Azuka has examined the chances of
success of President Muhammadu Buhari in the next
presidential election





Last week, President Muhammadu Buhari marked his
third year in office as Nigeria celebrated 19 unbroken
years of the Fourth Republic. With that, Buhari has one
year left of his Presidency unless he is re-elected in
2019.


However, the question is: What are the chances of
Buhari being re-elected? To his camp, Buhari’s re-
election is a fait accompli, as there is nobody in the
Nigerian political terrain that is capable of defeating
him. But the facts on the ground do not seem to
support that.


In 2003, 2007 and 2011 when Buhari contested under
the platforms of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (twice)
and the Congress for Progressive Change (once), he
could not win the presidential election, because his
popularity was restricted to the North-West and North-
East.


The map used in 2011 to represent the states won by
the three top candidates was very instructive. The
Nigerian map was divided into two with the top part
painted in blue to depict the states won by Buhari,
while the lower but larger part was painted in red to
depict the states won by Dr Goodluck Jonathan.


OsunState in the South-West, painted in yellow and looking
like Lesotho inside the map of South Africa, was won
by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu of the Action Congress of
Nigeria. Buhari won the seven states of the North-West
with four of the six states of the North-East as well as
Niger State in the North-Central. Jonathan triumphed
because he won all but one state of the North-Central
as well as two states in the North-East (Adamawa and
Taraba). In addition, he had a good outing in the
North-West and North-East where Buhari won,
garnering a total of 8,351,472 votes in the North as
against Buhari’s 11,691,355. Conversely, while
Jonathan got 13,890,271 votes in the South, Buhari
got a meagre 391,922 votes.


By 2015, Buhari was able to overcome that
impediment for the first time by having the upper hand
in the North-Central and South-West states, with a
good showing in Edo State in the South-South. So his
support base got a more national outlook in 2015. The
reason was simple: In 2014, Buhari’s CPC merged with
the ACN, ANPP and a faction of the All Progressive
Grand Alliance to form the All Progressives Congress.
That helped to make Buhari attractive in the North-
Central and the South-West.


Even though corruption was a big campaign issue in
2015, lack of victory over Boko Haram was the biggest
albatross of Jonathan. The more people were killed or
abducted, the more Jonathan was seen as incapable of
being the President of Nigeria. There was the belief
that a retired military general like Buhari would solve
the Boko Haram problem better if elected.


Upon Buhari’s assumption of office on May 29, 2015,
it seemed as if Boko Haram intensified its killing
campaign. But one year after, there was a clear sign
that Boko Haram was no longer as dangerous and
destructive as it was before 2015. Even though Boko
Haram still kills people in Nigeria, the group’s capacity
to cause mayhem has been reduced drastically.


However, while Nigerians were heaving a sigh of relief
on the milestone recorded against Boko Haram,
another monster surfaced. This group is called the
killer herdsmen. This group has concentrated its killing
spree in the North-Central part of Nigeria, although it
still operates in the North-West, North-East and
occasionally in the South-West, South-East and South-
South. Almost on a daily basis, dozens of people are
massacred in their homes or farms or worship places
in different villages, towns and states. Their homes are
destroyed and set ablaze. Their farms suffer the same
fate. It seems the killers are eager to wipe out these
ethnic groups.


Surprisingly, in contrast to its hard stance on the Boko
Haram, the Buhari administration has treated the
herdsmen’s menace as “communal clashes” between
peripatetic herdsmen and farmers who are deemed not
hospitable and tolerant of their compatriots. There has
not been visible anger from the government against
these killings. Beyond the platitudes from the
Presidency occasionally when these killings occur,
there is nothing concrete done to ensure that these
killings don’t continue.


In addition to not being able to protect those who
have been victims of these killer herdsmen, the
security agencies have been accused of disarming the
locals and ensuring that they do not have even
machetes with which to protect themselves when
attacked. Some top retired military officers from the
zones under attack, like Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma
(retd.) have frontally accused the “armed forces” of
colluding with the killers to wipe them out. The
invasion of a Roman Catholic church in Benue State in
April to kill two priests and 17 parishioners helped to
solidify the view that the killings had more to do with
ethnic cleansing than grazing rights.


The same way Jonathan was seen as weak on the
issue of Boko Haram killings is the way Buhari is now
seen as weak on the killer herdsmen’s issue. Buhari’s
case is even worse because it is seen more as
negligence and collusion than weakness.


Gradually, Buhari seems to be returning to the image
he had before becoming the torchbearer of the APC in
2015. His approval rating has recently dropped to
below 40 per cent. The area known as the Middle Belt
(which comprises the North-Central and some parts of
the North-West and North-East) is the key victim of
these killings. The voters in this zone helped to sway
the victory to Buhari in 2015. Today, most of them are
not happy with Buhari because of the way he has
handled the killings in their zone. The question is if
they will vote for Buhari again the way they did in
2015. If they don’t, then Buhari’s re-election bid will be
at risk.


The other critical group is the South-West, where
Buhari won all the states except Ekiti State. The
popularity of Buhari has not nosedived in the South-
West but it has dropped significantly. Some of those
who worked for Buhari’s victory in 2015 have shifted
their support. The House of Assembly by-election held
over the weekend in Oyo State, an APC stronghold, but
won by the PDP was an indicator that the APC is no
longer as popular as it was.


In addition, excluding politicians who move from the
PDP to the APC for pecuniary reasons and relevance, it
is rare to find an opinion moulder who was against
Buhari in 2015 but has become his supporter today.
But it is easy to see those who worked vigorously for
Buhari’s victory in 2015 lament how he has
disappointed them.


Also, some of the top politicians like the Senate
President, Dr Bukola Saraki, and some former
governors who moved from the PDP to the APC and
helped to sway votes in their states for Buhari, have
become disgruntled with the APC because of the
alleged unfair deal they have received.


Buhari’s acts of omission and commission have had a
dent on his popularity. Therefore, anybody saying that
Buhari’s re-election next year is a done deal is
swimming in an ocean of self-deceit.


Whoever the Peoples Democratic Party nominates will
have an impact on whether Buhari wins or not. But if
Buhari loses in 2019, it will not be so much because
the PDP candidate is a wonderful candidate. It will be
because Buhari and the APC promised the nation so
much, raised the hopes of the people and secured their
votes but departed from most of those promises,
replacing the promises with an urn of excuses.


Nigeria will be called a genuine democracy when it is
capable of voting out a party and voting in another
party in a continuous cycle. That way, parties and
candidates will learn never to take the people for
granted.

Christianity EtcApostle Suleman Gives Football Juggler N500k After Performance In His Church by boman2014(op): 5:16pm On May 22, 2018
https://www.tori.ng/userfiles/image/2018/may/22/deeboi.JPG
A popular Bayelsa-born ball Juggler, Tonye Solomon aka Deeboi, who broke the Guinness book of world record in 2016 by trekking 60km with a ball balanced on his head, caused a stir after he showed his juggling skills at the Omega Fire Ministry headquarters in Auchi, Edo state.

The world record holder delighted and thrilled the church members and their pastor, Apostle Johnson Suleman who prayed for him and gave him N500,000 cash and other gifts to appreciate his talent.

The man who hails from Okordia/zarama in Yenagoa local government area, achieved the world record by walking 60km, with a football on his head, from Amassoma (the home of late Alamieyeseigha) to Yenagoa (Bayelsa capital).

Before achieving that feat, he walked a distance of 38 kilometers with the ball on his head when it started to rain.

Science/TechnologyStudents Invent Hand-held Traffic Light To Ease Congestion by boman2014(op): 1:28pm On May 22, 2018
Following the incessant call for well rounded,
entrepreneurship-oriented, as well as employable
youths, Caro Favoured School, Awodi-Ora, Lagos, is
set to join schools across Africa to compete in
Junior Achievement Nigeria’s National Company of
the Year Competition, slated for June.


Its students, ranging from ages 15 to 17 years, have
invented a hand-held rechargeable traffic light under
the their independently set-up company, Inventive
Explorers.

Comprising of 33 students, all in Senior Secondary 2,
executives of the company; Chibuike Jacob, Osinachi
Daniel, Somto Nwachukwu, Emmanuel Anyanwu,
Blessing Omosebi, Uchechukwu Obi, Uchechukwu
Fredricks, Chizaram Igwe, to mention a few, shared
their experience at being inventors and balancing
work, school, family and play, with being innovative
entrepreneurs, under the supervision of their Co-
ordinator, Ebuka Ughamadu who is also the
Managing Director of the school.




How was this idea born?

It was a collective effort, they all contributed one
idea or the other. Jacob birthed the idea of the hand-
held traffic light and they all chipped in one thing or
the other. Blessing brought the idea that the device
should be rechargeable, Somto improved on the
conventional red and green light and suggested they
spell out STOP in red and GO in green.

Uchechukwu Obi chipped in that the prototype hand-
held was too bulky for the average hand, so they
worked on that, while Osinachi insisted on high
quality LED bulbs for optimum visibility at night.
This enables the traffic signals to be visible as far
as 20 meters during the day and 50 meters at night.
For durability and avoiding adverse reflection during
night use, as well as moisture, Emmanuel
recommended the use of Acrylic glass, a transparent
termoplastic.



How does it work?

It can be turned on by simply flicking the switch
either ways or off with a light push using the thumb.
As it is, improvements are constantly being made.
Initially, with the prototype, the battery lasted just 90
minutes when charged, now it has been improved to
charge for 90 minutes and last three hours with
continued usage.


We also did a test run at Boundary Road, in
Ajegunle, with the traffic wardens. They liked the
device, particularly its portability and its zero
likelihood of malfunctioning, however, they
suggested we make the signs visible both ways so
the user does not have to keep turning around for
motorists to see the signs. This enhancement they
will also effect.

Is the device’s market not just the government?
Here one of the executives, Osinachi said; “besides
government employed traffic wardens, we are
targeting, schools, places of worship, event centres,
eatries, banks, companies, businees places, markets
and anywhere there is movement of vehicles and
pedestrians in considerable number or high
frequency. Hence, the innovation, due to its
portability, can be used by school security to control
traffic thereby aiding students cross the road safely
to school and back. It can also help company or
event centre security agents control traffic when their
vehicles tribute into major roads from their premises.
It is for everyone, be they public or private.”
What challenges did you face whilst executing this
innovation?


To this Uchechukwu Fredricks said; “Getting high
quality LED bulbs was really tough. Fortunately we
found them and have established a relationship with
a supplier who delivers whenever we need them.
Time was also a challenge as we could only work
after exams.”

Chizaram then disclosed; “Capital was a challenge
because as students we do not have money. We
resulted to making home-made scouring powder
from egg shells, detergent and ashes we got from
street food vendors. We sold the scouring powder to
our neighbours at home to generate capital. We also
organised film shows after exams for our school
mates for a token fee.”



What does Caro Favoured School hope to gain from
this?

Ughamadu said; “It is entirely their project, the
company is theirs and registered in their name. The
proceeds from the innovation and from participating
in the competition would also entirely go to them.
Basically, we know this competition will gear them
towards entrepreneurship. It has given them an idea
of how businesses are set up and run.

Learning at this early stage means that they know
that they have a part to play in the scheme of
things, they have also come to know that the way to
survive and excel in the business world is to
continually add value. In all we are seeking to have
well rounded students who are entrepreneurship
oriented.”

The competition’s organisers, Junior Achievement
Nigeria, is a part of Junior Achievement Worldwide,
the world’s largest and fastest growing non-profit
economic education organization with a 120-country
network, that has reached over 700,000 students in
over 1,000 schools.

The National Company of the Year Competition is
designed to inspire innovation in students through
entrepreneurship. It involves the creation and
management of innovative enterprises with business
models that respond to the students’ local
environment and provide positive impact in the
community.

The influential politician who made the disclose when the crowd came to endorse Nwosu at the GovernmentnHouse, said that he would want to hand over to a governor that will discriminate against any zone but will see the entire state as one deserving of equal attention.

He assured that Nwosu will win the 2019 governorship election, irrespective of the objections of the political ‘bigwigs’, adding that the power to elect a governor resides with the people and not few political elites and godfathers, adding that, “I have no doubt that Nwosu will win the governorship election considering his pedigree and humble background” .

According to the governor, “Nwosu has learnt the ropes and is better qualified than any other aspirant. Nwosu is the least of the political children I have trained but I don’t know any of them as much as I have known Nwosu, I took him up when he was just nobody and he grew to the height he is now, his only sin is that he is my son-in-law, how about the Njemanze’s, the Bishops from Egbu, they occupy every position in Egbu without
considering who and where they came from”
.
He continued that, “Nwosu will win in 2019, don’t be afraid , I am there, I have retired the Arthur Nzeribes, the Udenwas, now I will retire the rest of them finally, I know them and they know me, their plan is to push me so that they can get the Senate, it’s a lie, i will run for the Senate as well”.

Speaking on President Muhammadu Buhari’s declaration for a second term, Governor Okorocha assured that “he will win again, just like he did in 2015”.

He said, “Buhari will win again and again, after Buhari, the turn will come to South East and it will be the turn of Okorocha”

PoliticsPoliticians Focus On Elections, I’m Bothered About Security, Economy- Buhari by boman2014(op): 5:31pm On Apr 16, 2018
The three-pronged focus of the current administration
resonated through the conversation, as President
Muhammadu Buhari held a bilateral meeting with
British Prime Minister, Theresa May today at 10,
Downing Street, London.

"We campaigned on three major issues, to secure the
country, revive the economy and fight corruption,”
said the President. “We have elections next year,
politicians are already preoccupied with the polls, but
I am bothered more about security and the economy,"
he stressed.

Recalling that Nigeria and Britain have a long history
of cooperation on several fronts, President Buhari
stated: "People ought to know how they arrived
where they are, if they would move forward. It was a
mistake for us to have stopped the teaching of
history as a subject in schools, but we are returning
it to the curriculum now."

He commended British companies like Unilever,
Cadbury, and many others, "who have stood with
Nigeria through thick and thin. Even when we fought
a Civil War, they never left.

"But like Oliver Twist , we ask for more investments.
We are encouraging more British companies to come
to Nigeria. We appreciate the support you have given
in training and equipping our military, particularly in
the war against insurgency, but we want to also
continue to work with you on trade and investment."
President Buhari briefed Prime Minister May on the
strides in agriculture, which he said has put Nigeria
firmly on the road to food self-sufficiency.


"I am very pleased with the successes in agriculture,"
he said, adding: "We have cut rice importation by
about 90%, made lots of savings of foreign
exchange, and generated employment. People had
rushed to the cities to get oil money, at the expense
of farming. But luckily, they are now going back to
the farms. Even professionals are going back to the
land. We are making steady progress on the road to
food security."

On education, President Buhari said more investment
was being made, because "people can look after
themselves if well educated. In this age of
technology, education is very important. We need
well-staffed and well-equipped institutions to move
into the next generation."

Climate change and environmental issues also came
up for discussion, and President Buhari brought up
the necessity of inter-basin water transfer from
Congo Basin to Lake Chad.

According to him: "The Lake Chad is now about 10%
of its original size, and it is perhaps one of the
reasons our youths dare both the Sahara Desert and
the Mediterranean, to get to Europe. But if there is
inter-basin water transfer, about 40 million people in
Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon, Chad, and other countries
stand to benefit. I made the case during the Climate
Change Summit in France. If Lake Chad is recharged,
it will reduce the number of youths coming to Europe
to increase social problems. We brought back about
4,000 people from Libya recently. Almost all of them
were below 30, and Libya was not their final
destination. They were headed to Europe."


Prime Minister May, in her remarks, said Britain
would continue to work with Nigeria in the areas of
training and equipping the military.

She was particular about abduction of young
schoolgirls by Boko Haram, noting that Britain would
continue to give Nigeria needed assistance.

The Prime Minister said the Buhari administration
has "been making good progress on the economy,"
and urged it to maintain the focus, despite
approaching elections, and increase in political
activities.

On education and climate change, she declared:
"Good grounding in education is good. It is important
to equip young people for today's world. It is also a
good bastion and defence against modern slavery.
The issue of the environment and climate change is
very important, because of its impact on many
countries in the Commonwealth. Stability at home is
important, to curb illegal migration."

Prime Minister May, who commended President
Buhari for the much he has been doing on improving
trade and business for Nigeria, noted that it was also
time to boost intra-Commonwealth trade.
