₦airaland Forum

Fellow Nigerians, I’m back this week to continue
where I stopped last week. If you missed the first
part, let me summarise quickly. The piece was
largely historical as I took the readers on a tour de
force of how we arrived at President Muhammadu
Buhari, a stone repeatedly rejected but has now become the cornerstone. I concluded that the
second coming of President Buhari was a miracle
and that the high expectations would naturally
place a heavy burden on him. Without doubt, life has not been rosy for our dear
President and Nigerians in the last one year. What
Nigerians expected from Buhari was nothing short
of a magical revolution that would transform
Nigeria, without military power this time around.
The joy that heralded his coming was surreal and uncommon. For once, since June 12, 1993, when
Chief Moshood Abiola won the most monumental
election since our Independence, Nigerians united
in celebrating President Buhari’s superlative
victory. Everywhere I went, Nigerians were proud
that Buhari had won and world leaders saluted our incredible achievement. In Dubai, where I
travelled to shortly after the election, taxi drivers
congratulated me once they confirmed that I was
from Nigeria. The story was virtually the same in
London, a city with probably the second largest
concentration of Nigerians outside our dear beloved country. Indeed, we never had it so good. So what seems to have gone wrong and how did
we somehow wasted the momentum that was
galloping us to prosperity, given where we have
now found ourselves? Nigerians expected our
President to have spent the transition period to
assemble and get his team ready. His economic team was supposed to have been identified and
put on notice and standby. We now know that the
outgoing Government did not co-operate as fully
as it should have done and the President did not
have hand over notes on time, according to some
impeccable sources. Once the newly elected representatives of the
people got inaugurated, one expected that
everything would be smooth sailing, as APC had
the majority in both chambers of the National
Assembly. However, the election of principal
officers of the National Assembly which was meant to be a simple and straight-forward affair
since the ruling party had a simple majority
already in its kitty turned out to be anything but
that. No one anticipated the raging inferno that
would erupt from contending ambitions and
conflicting egos. The Eighth National Assembly has never known peace since inception and the rest
would be history by the time the gladiators finish
tearing themselves to pieces in the market place. The selection, screening and confirmation of
Buhari’s cabinet took place at snail-speed.
Nigerians mumbled and grumbled like the Biblical
Jeremiah about the time it was taking for the
President to pick his men and women. It did not
seem the President understood that his people are probably the most impatient human beings on
earth. Perhaps, he would have jazzed up the
tempo and tenor of his administration by
announcing his cabinet long before he eventually
did. The steam started cooling down like melting dew
and before long the mumbling turned to moaning
and grunting. Those of us perceived to be part of
the Buhari Movement have not been spared by
those who would never see anything good in our
President. We’ve been treated scornfully and attacked as those who brought this scourge on
Nigeria. All explanations and entreaties have fallen
on deaf ears. The situation was further compounded by the war
against corruption which has been waged with
religious fervour by the Buhari government. The
horrendous stories of stealing in high places are
stranger than fiction. All well-meaning Nigerians
have been scandalised by the gory tales of brigandage and high larceny that we have been
subjected to. Most Nigerians are happy and pray
that maybe Buhari would be able to win a war
that was apparently responsible for the abrupt
termination of his military rule in 1985, during his
first coming. Many big personalities have been arrested, detained and prosecuted, though only
one case has been concluded and most are yet to
be brought to judgment and conviction. The Judiciary that should be the last bastion of
justice and the ultimate hope of the common man
has been on trial and ostensibly nailed to the cross.
There have been allegations of bribery and bias.
Such an important institution has been weakened
miserably and how it would wriggle out and cleanse its self-deprecatory mess remains to be
seen. The Buhari government does not seem
impressed even though it would need a willing
and ready partner in the judiciary in its volatile
crusade against corruption. Security remains a huge challenge. Though our
irrepressible military appear to be pushing
forward in its efforts towards the obliteration of
the terror group, Boko Haram, there are still some
skirmishes here and there. Kidnapping is back big
time. Just days ago, my young cousin, John Fatoye, a fresh graduate was abducted as he
boarded a fake taxi and found himself journeying
through places that he would never be able to
identify since he was blindfolded. He survived by
the whiskers as God miraculously touched the
hearts of the bandits who dumped him somewhere on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

This
has become rampant. We didn’t hear of the Shiites, New Biafrans, Fulani
herdsmen and Niger Delta Avengers this time last
year. But these groups have managed to force
their ways to the front pages of our newspapers
and the forefront of our attention and reckoning
because of their agitations and restiveness. The Amnesty Programme that was meticulously put in
place by former President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua
has virtually collapsed.

The Avengers have
wreaked unprecedented havoc on our crude oil
supplies and operations. It is reckoned that we’ve
lost our production capacities by about one million barrels per day at a time we are grappling with
abysmally low income from oil. By far the greatest albatross of the Buhari is the
comatose economy. Many are wondering what
suddenly happened to the robust and
rambunctious economy that was celebrated
globally less than three years ago. Our economy
under the government of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathain was supposed to have overtaken that of
South Africa to become the front leader. It has
nosedived to an all-time low in just one year. We
have studiously ignored the fact that we’ve
catapulted ourselves into recession.

That oil prices
crashed calamitously when President Buhari took over power and the profligacy and impunity of
the previous administration became manifest as
there was no money to cover up and paper the
cracks that had been obvious to the discerning
public. The truth is thus that the times have not been kind
to this administration. President Jonathan had
devalued the Naira twice in the space of six
months in the last days of his administration. The
effect of that devaluation is only just being felt in
the course of this Buhari administration because, in the euphoria of the elections, everyone forgot
about the economy. The parallel foreign exchange
market took on a mind of its own and defied all
permutations as speculators held sway. Prices of
food and other essentials have gone haywire. In
the end the Central Bank had to capitulate to those clamouring for devaluation by recently
announcing a flexible exchange policy. This will
naturally mean further economic woes for the
long-suffering masses of our great country but we
must have faith and believe that there is light at
the end of the tunnel. No one is sure if we’ve finally done away with the
ubiquitous petrol subsidy or whether there is now
deregulation of the petrol pricing regime. Only
time will tell. Thank God however that the
unbearable queues at petrol stations have
disappeared and we pray it is final this time.

Unemployment has become dangerously massive.
In fact, we are now rated as the country with the
largest army of unemployed youths in the world.
And the list of our woes is full and unending. The regular excuse for the woeful economic
quagmire we have found ourselves is that the past
governments created this volcanic eruption.

While
this is a fact, many have argued that the time for
buck-passing is far gone because that is the reason
Jonathan was sacked by Nigerians. Where then do we go from here? I shall
endeavour to put my humble suggestions
forward. I’m aware that some aides might be
dissembling to the President and telling him all is
well. But Baba, there is fire on the mountain. As
one of your foot-soldiers, I remain committed to telling you what the voices on the streets are
saying. I will now take the challenges and
prospects together, one by one. The priority of every nation is to build a buoyant
economy.

Truth is that would be difficult under the
current climate. There is too much tension in the
land, and the uncertainties can only scare away
any investor. For example, foreign airlines are
jittery and United Airlines only just announced that it was closing its operations in Nigeria. The
almighty British Airways is exploring its options.
Even Virgin Atlantic is shedding a few flights on
our routes.

These are not good signs. We must
douse the tension urgently. The banks are panicky and rocking although we
are all afraid to openly say this for fear of
precipitating a grand collapse. This probably
accounts for all manner of unsavoury charges that
are being levied on unsuspecting customers. The
Central Bank must intervene and save the already overburdened populate. The manufacturers are
angry. They are being ravaged by epileptic power
supply and uncertain currency regulations. Every
type of power generation must be explored
speedily. Ghana has convinced me that this can be
fixed quickly as demonstrated by President John Dramani Mahama. This has made most Nigerians
living in Ghana very hopeful that Nigeria would
break our electricity jinx one day soon. If Mahama
can perform such miracle, we too should work
harder. Farmers are being kicked aground as they are
overrun either by diseases or murderous
herdsmen and their rampaging herds.

No one
should play politics with lives and livestock. It
should not matter that some of the herdsmen are
kinsmen of our President. They should be tackled seriously and I’m sure our President would
safeguard every Nigerian soul and property. Once
the perpetrators know the President is not on their
side they will simmer down quickly. The major bright spot is the war against
corruption which the Government is largely seen
to be winning. I would like to sound a note of
caution though. While it is good to fight
corruption, it should be done systematically.


Otherwise, what we lose might be bigger than what we gain. I learnt from Chief M.K.O Abiola that
there are two ways of shouting Yeee. He said “you
can shout YEEE and people will run and you can
shout YE-YE-YE and people will dance. We can investigate and prosecute corruption
without employing gestapo style operations. The
President must insist on respect for the rule of law.


One must never fight illegality with illegality. We
must avoid anything that would suggest that
enemies are being hounded. No crime could be worse than apartheid yet Dr Nelson Mandela chose
peace over crisis. I recommend that corruption can
be fought without making it appear like
grandstanding. The looted funds will be recovered
when a thorough but fair investigation has been
carried out. No Nigerian should be detained on experimental basis at this time and age. We should
always embrace dialogue as means to conflict
resolution. Great Britain, USA, and other European
countries sometimes even negotiate with
terrorists. Those asking for blood today will sing a
different song and tune when tomorrow comes. We must do everything possible to secure the
cooperation of every Nigerian no matter our
ethnic, religious and political differences.

In this
regard, I implore President Buhari to hold
steadfast to the notion that nothing should be
done to humiliate a man who voluntarily gave up power when he could have opted for bloodshed. I
will always admire and appreciate the sacrifice of
President Goodluck Jonathan. We should
remember that he was the first man from South
South to govern Nigeria by divine intervention.

He
paid dearly for fumbling in power and that is enough punishment. Other leaders who wasted
our resources since Independence are roaming
around freely. If they cannot be subjected to a
similar treatment, then Jonathan should be left to
his conscience and should be allowed to enjoy his
retirement without harassment.

No man is perfect and we should not sow permanent seeds of
discord that may eventually ruin our nation. That
does not mean looted funds must not be
substantially retrieved from all public office
holders without fear or favour. Many in all the
Political Parties and civil service fall into this category. The pursuit of one man as is now being
advocated by some can only be an unwarranted
provocation and unnecessary distraction. It is never a sign of weakness to run away from
danger and regroup. It is for this reason that I
urge that we must not add the Avengers to our
political and economic lexicon.

I pray it is not too
late. President Yar’Adua did the wisest thing when
he drew the embittered militants closer. The people of the Niger Delta have every reason to be
bitter. Their representative was sacked and not
allowed to return to power.


Yet the Asari
Dokubos, Tompolos and others left quietly without
a conflagration and it was indeed a miracle. We
must not go and wake up unnecessary trouble. Our pots are full already. Nevertheless, the Avengers have no right or
justification for the atrocities and crimes they are
committing.

All they are doing is contributing not
only to the economic woes of the country and
even the world but more importantly they are
destroying the communities they claim they are helping through environmental degradation and
economic deprivation.

The President must help
these communities, and turn them away from the
romantic notions spawned by these militants, by
giving them a sense of belonging once again! According to an old British Telecom advert: “It is
good to talk…” Our problems are solvable if we
embrace dialogue no matter how difficult it seems.

Guinness World Records has recognised Nigeria’s
Harrison Chinedu as the first man to travel the farthest distance while balancing a football on his head. The Cambodia-based footballer set the record after walking a total distance of 48.08km from the Redeemed Christian Church of God camp on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to the National Stadium in Surulere, Lagos, on March 6.



An Indian soldier Naib Singh had broken the world record for travelling the farthest distance balancing a football on the head after walking a total distance of 45.64km in his country in 2014.

Singh lowered the earlier record set by Bangladesh’s Abdul Halim, who travelled 15.2 Km balancing a football on the head at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka on October 22, 2011, to enter the Guinness Book of World Records.


Guinness World Records confirmed Chinedu’s as a world record holder in a certificate sent to the Dr Rafiu Oladipo Sports Foundation, which presented Chinedu with an opportunity to make a name for himself and Nigeria.

An elated Chinedu, who displayed his certificate in Lagos on Thursday, said his sights are set on breaking more world records.

The President-General of the Nigeria Football Supporters’ Club Rafiu Ladipo hailed the Imo State-born star for putting the country on the world map.


He commended the sports minister Solomon Dalung, Lagos, Ogun and Imo states, as well as the police, the FRSC, bet9ja and the media for supporting the event.

– FG sets up panel for prosecution of corruption,
criminal cases

– The committee is to ensure effective prosecution
of high criminal and corruption cases in the country

[img]http://i.onthe.io/vllkyt1d52c734ogn.28c96b41.jpg[/img]

Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo


Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Friday inaugurated
a National Prosecution Coordination Committee
(NPCC) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The committee is to ensure effective prosecution of high criminal cases in the country.


The committee, according to a statement by the senior special assistant on media and publicity, Laolu Akande, is headed by the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami at the event attended by several government functionaries including the National Security Adviser, Brig-General Babagana Munguno,
rtd, and heads of the ICPC and the CCB among
others.

Osinbajo, who represented President Muhammadu
Buhari at the ceremony, said that the President is not interested in tele-guiding the anti-corruption
agencies or prosecution authorities in the country. He said:

“When you look at the way that the EFCC
and other law enforcement agencies have acted in
recent times you will notice that they are not under any kind of direction of influence of the President.


“They are given the independence to act; they are
given the authority and backing to act on their ownand to use their own discretion appropriately at all times.

You don’t get any situation where the
president says go get that person or back off that
person.

Some corrupt government officials under probe

“All of us know that the President is completely committed to fighting corruption and economic crimes and terrorism,” he added He said that such external influence does not exist under this administration, as the agencies are given the full authority to act and they do so using their best judgment.

The administration, he said, expect the agencies to use their powers with fairness, devoid of any prejudice.

According to him, the same responsibility has been given to the newly formed NPCC to bring justice to the people.

Addressing the 20-member committee, the Vice President said:

“That is the sort of responsibility
placed on your own shoulders as well, the
responsibility to exercise prosecutorial power
independently and without any direction except of
course from the learned Attorney-General who is the constitutional and prosecutorial authority in the country.”

“It is a very serious responsibility because it also involves making sure that people are treated fairly or that people are not pursued by reason of bias or any other such consideration,’’ he added.

He said that it was important that those being prosecuted were not embarrassed needlessly by the prosecutors.

He stressed that it is important that everybodyobserve “that the system is fair and that the system works in the interest of the Nigerian people.

When the system is fair everybody buys into it and it is not difficult for people to relate with it and support it.’’

The Vice President said that the selection of the
committee members took into consideration not
only their legal skills and learning, but also their
integrity and strength of character in order to chart a new course in the nation’s criminal justice system.

Even as he noted that legal background was
important, he said that particular consideration was given to those who have courage and would not allow themselves to be cowed or influenced by
tribe, religion, and friendships.


He said: “Given the nature of economic crimes and the enormity sometimes of the money that is involved and the influence of those who may have to be prosecuted, you need more than legal skills.

You need men and women of strong
character and courage who will not only be able to turn down inducements of any kind but also act
without consideration for tribe, friendship, religionor any other parochial considerations.’’ The Vice President observed that the composition of the committee was notable as they take on their
tasks at a time of an upsurge in pipeline vandalism
among other criminal acts.

He said: “This is a very important committee because the administration itself is committed to ensuring
that we are able to deal with not only question of
corruption which is a big item on our agenda but
also other economic crimes.


Terrorism has assumed different shapes and proportions of late, and the vandalism that we see in parts of the Niger Delta,
which has affected so many different things
including oil production, power supply, “We are in a very crucial time in our social development and a committee such as this is very
necessary and historic because I do not know of any other of such committee in the history of this
country,’’ he added. He congratulated the committee members for being chosen to perform the task and expressed the hope that the committee would be making a huge
difference in the actual delivery of results in the next few months.

Speaking earlier, the Attorney General and Justice Minister said that the committee comprised 12 ex-officio and eight external members of proven
integrity and competence.

To fast-track the work of the committee, he said that the ministry has created 20 prosecution teams with four members each and had requested the all
agencies exercising police powers to recommend
five experienced investigators to support the
committee’s work.

“The aim is to ensure effective investigation and prosecution of high profile criminal cases in Nigeria,”

the minister said According to him, the committee was not a duplication of the existing anti-corruption agencies but would collaborate with such agencies for effective service delivery.


Members of the committee included Mr. Taiwo
Abidogun-Solicitor-General/Permanent Secretary,
Ministry of Justice, Mr. Dipo Okpeseyi, SAN, Mr.
Chukuma Machukwu, SAN, Professor Bolaji
Owasanoye, the executive secretary of the presidential advisory committee on Anti-Corruption, Mr. M.S. Diri, Director of Prosecution, Ministry of Justice, Mr. Pius Oteh, Esq., Okoi Obono-Obla Esq., Mrs Juliet Ibekaku, Mr. Abiodun Aikomo, Esq. Others are Mr Kehinde Oginni, Esq, Mr. Salihu Othman Isah-Special Adviser, Media & Publicity to the Attorney-General, Al-Amin Ado Ibrahim, from
the Office of the National Security Adviser, Nafiu
Yakubu, Tunji Oluborode, Esq., Eric Onokif Ifere Esq., Mrs Diane Okoko, Temitope Adebayo, Esq., DIG Abdulrahman Yusuf, RTD, Sylvester Imhanobe, Esq as Secretary to the Committee

The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi, has advocated a ban on
marriage of women below 18 years, saying most of the women
suffering from reproductive health challenges were products of
such marriages.


The emir, who spoke at a workshop organised by the Northern
Islamic Forum in Kano on Tuesday, said time had come when the
Muslim community should live by the reality of economic
recession and consequences of early marriage.


He said the era when people gave out their daughters in marriage
at early ages and asked the husbands to wait till they were ripe
was nothing but a deception.
According to Mr. Sanusi, that strategy no longer worked as it had
led to cases of divorce and other ugly situations.


The emir recounted that in the past the rich and the poor married
four wives and bore between 30 and 40 children because the
economy was not only buoyant but also because people were not
relying on government for sustenance.


He said though the harsh economic realities now make it
impossible for people to feed twice a day these days,
“unfortunately our people do not change and somebody with
virtually nothing still give birth to 20 or 30 children and this must
stop”.

Mr. Sanusi said there was a need to peg the marriage age now
because of the challenges early marriage was posing.


According to him, the marriage age in Egypt at present was 18
while that of Malaysia and Morocco were 19 and 17 respectively,
asking “why not we here urgently call for pegging of marriage
ages within Muslim Umma in Nigeria?”
He argued that since Nigeria Muslims also practice the Malikiys
School of thought as these countries, “we should follow suit and
peg our own marriage ages for our own good”.


Mr. Sanusi called on the relevant authorities to create a law that
would punish anybody that gave birth to children and allowed
them to suffer.

According to him, most of those neglected children not only
turned victims of social vices but also engage in terrorism.

VillageParrot:
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has debunked reports by Thisday newspapers on Monday stating that he has fled to exile in Cote D’Ivoire to evade arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to the former President who spoke to our reporter on Monday, “I am not on exile. I find it amusing that such a report made it to the pages of a respected national daily. I have been good friends with President Quattara and only stopped by to visit him. Nigeria enjoyed a very robust diplomatic relationship with Cote D’Ivoire while I was President.”

[s]Sources informed about the development who did not want to be named told SIGNAL on Monday that the report was planted by the Nigerian Presidency to embarrass the former President and give the international community the impression that President Buhari was leaving no stone unturned in his “fight against corruption.”

“It is a shame what our media has degenerated into. The story about President Jonathan running to exile was planted by the Presidency in collaboration with their agents in the print media all in an attempt to embarrass the former President”, the source told SIGNAL.

Thisday newspapers broke news on Monday of plans by the EFCC to arrest former president Jonathan, leading to his reported exile in Cote D’Ivoire.

Efforts to reach Nduka Obaigbena, the Publisher of Thisday for comments proved abortive at the time of filing this report.

The Nigerian Army has just issued the statement below
announcing the death of a major bomb maker for the terrorist
Boko Haram sect.

In what it described as a major breakthrough in the fight against
the sect, the Army, through its spokesperson, Sani Usman, said
the bomb maker was killed by a body guard to Abubakar Shekau,
the leader of the sect.

Read full statement below:


CHIEF BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS BOMB MAKER KILLED BY
COLLEAGUE, ANOTHER GOES BLIND

In what will be described as a major breakthrough in the clearance
and rescue operation by the Nigerian military and to also confirm
that all is not well within the Boko Haram terrorists camp, as their
chief bomb maker and a high ranking terrorist, was shot dead
today.


The chief bomb maker, apart from his high status in the
command structure of the Boko Haram terrorists,was one of their
capable hands involved in making Improvised Explosive Devices
(IEDs), coming after their chief scientist, called Abu RPG (who has
been killed long ago).


The chief bomb maker was killed by one of the body guard of the
Boko Haram terrorists leader, Abubakar Shekau as he was about
to run away just like several others are doing because of the
intensity of Operation CRACKDOWN.

In a related development, one Julelebeeb who was appointed to
take over is now completely blind because his two eyes were
shattered by shrapnel, in the process of preparing an IED to
consolidate his appointment.


There is no doubt, this development has dealt a devastating blow
on the terrorists capacity on IED preparation, suicide bombing and
their ability to sustain their criminal acts.

We would like to reassure the public that our troops are
continuing with the clearance and rescue operations successfully
in order to completely clear Boko Haram terrorists wherever they
might be hiding.


You are kindly requested disseminate to the public through your
medium.

Thank you for your kind and usual cooperation.

The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Bayelsa State
Command, has confirmed the arrest of one of the suspected
militants who masterminded and blew up the Nigerian Agip Oil
Company’s pipeline in the state.
A group of armed youths from Ikienghenbiri community in
Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of Bayelsa, led by Suoyou
Ambu, Iyelawei and Fyneboy, had on Sunday allegedly bombed
the pipeline along the Azuzuama – Ikienghenbiri axis of the trunk
line conveying crude oil from the Agip flowstation at Tebidaba to
Brass.

While Suoyou, the alleged ring leader, Iyelawei and Fyneboy are
said to be on the run, the state Commandant, NSCDC, Mr.
Desmond Agu, confirmed the arrest of one of the militants
identified simply as Peregbakumo.
Agu at a news conference in the state command’s headquarters
on Monday, said Peregbakumo was arrested through the help of
the community leaders.
The state Commandant said the arrested suspect was in the
custody of the command, noting that the NSCDC in its resolve to
protect and secure the critical national assets in the state would
arraign and diligently prosecute the suspect.
Agu added, “We are on the trail of other suspects who are on the
run and we will surely apprehend them.
“We want to thank the Ikeinghenbiri community for the efforts in
helping to track the menace of vandalism in the state.
“We are appealing to other communities to toe a similar path in
this collective war against pipeline vandalism, economic sabotage
and environmental pollution.”
He sounded a note of warning to aggrieved youths in the state to
explore other peaceful means of expressing their demands instead
of resorting to destroying national assets and their environment.
He reiterated the corps commitment and readiness to protect the
national assets and government properties in the state.

hard facts!!!

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has banned grazing and
rearing of cattle in the state, saying those interested in cattle
farming should get their own private cattle ranch.
The governor, who became the first ever state executive to take
such a drastic measure in the country, also said a bill to make the
movement of cattle from one location to another criminal in the
state would soon be sent to the State House of Assembly.
Governor Fayose, who made this known when he visited Oke-
Ako in Ikole local government area of the State that was invaded
last Friday by Fulani herdsmen that killed two residents of the
town and injured others, warned that government would
henceforth confiscate any cattle seen anywhere in the State apart
from ranch created for them by their owners.
He described the Fulani herdsmen that attacked Oke-Ako and
other communities in the country as “agents of the devil that must
be fished out and punished accordingly.”
The governor said, “We will not leave our lands for Fulani
herdsmen and in a system where the leadership of the country
looks the other way while our people are being killed, we will have
no option than to defend ourselves by whatever means.
“I have come here to commiserate with the people of Oke-Ako
over the murder of two of our people by these evil Fulani
herdsmen.
“I am also here to assure that this will be the last time your
community will be invaded by Fulani herdsmen under whatever
guise.
“I have directed that cattle rearing and grazing should stop in Ekiti
State and those interested in cattle farming should henceforth do
so in their own cattle ranch.
