bullshiit!

Igwe Alex Nwokedi, the Uthopo na Eze Achalla, Anambra state, in the interview granted to the Vanguard has shared his views on the calls for Biafra.




Nwokedi was a press secretary to the head of state during the military regime of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. He also served in the same capacity during the early days of Alhaji Shehu Shagari administration.Obasanjo was an active participant in the Nigeria/Biafra цarin support of the Nigerian military effort to defeat Biafra.


The civil war which occurred from 1967 to 1970 was an attempt by some states to break away from Nigeria and establish an independent Biafra state.A veteran journalist was speaking on the brewing agitation for Biafra in his part of Nigeria.He said: “General Yakubu Gowon, in one of his published interviews, spoke well when he said he was surprised that people could be talking about Biafra over 40 years after the matter had been resolved.“Owelle Rochas Okorocha, a respected governor of the people, of course, has also spoken like a patriotic Nigeria when he counselled that Igbo should stop hating other Nigerians.

That comment credited to him gives a good perspective on the Igbo people of this country. Igbo people are loving people but we should talk about what unites us than talking about what divides us.“I have read a lot about the so-called agitation for Biafra and I even read something about people who said they wanted to secede from Nigeria and become Oduduwa country. Biafra and Afenifere are no threat to the unity of Nigeria.


“So, as far as I am concerned, we should talk more about what unites us than what divides us. I am more concerned about the need to develop all the regions of Nigeria. I am concerned about the need for government both at federal and state levels to collaborate and bring physical development to all parts of the country. It is sad, for instance, that Enugu-Awka-Onitsha Road is not motorable.”

Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has said that
President Muhammadu Buhari should be held responsible
should anything untoward happen to the former National
Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (retd).


In a statement on Friday, by the Special Assistant to the
governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, Fayose said: “The Department of State Services
(DSS) placement of the former NSA under house arrest
despite court order that his international passport be
released so that he can travel abroad for medical treatment
is wicked, inhuman, dictatorial and a clear attempt to deny
him of his rights to life as enshrined in the Constitution
of Nigeria.”


The governor, who hailed today’s Abuja Federal High Court
ruling, ordering the DSS to allow Dasuki to travel out of the
country for medical treatment, added that, “Nigerians,
especially men of the judiciary must join hands to shake
dictatorship off the body of President Buhari and his hatchet
man, Alhaji Lawal Daura.”


Fayose said he was particularly happy that Justice
Ademola Adeniyi, insisted that court order must be obeyed
and that his own orders will not be flouted, pointing out that
“Nigerians, who fought late General Sanni Abacha to a
standstill will fight this emerging Buhari’s ‘militocracy,’
which is a clear threat to our hard-earned democracy.”
The governor said he was already vindicated on his earlier
position that the Director General of DSS, Lawal Daura who
is President Buhari’s kinsman, was an instrument of
political persecution.


He likened the Director General of DSS to Mohammed
Lawal Rafindadi, of the Nigerian Security Organisation
(NSO) that was also used by Buhari as instrument of
political persecution between 1984 and 1985.
Governor Fayose said President Buhari should be reminded
that the Nigeria of 1984 that he ruled like a fiefdom is
different from that of 2015.

Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.): Former NSA



The governor said: “President Buhari seized late Chief
Obafemi Awolowo international passport and prevented him
from travelling abroad for medicare in 1985, thereby
leading to his (Awolowo) untimely death of 1987.

“Buhari also hounded former Bayelsa State Governor,
Diepreye Alamieyeseigha to death all in the name of fighting
perceived political opponents.


“Therefore, it has become necessary to raise the alarm that
nothing must happen to Dasuki.


“The fate that befell Awolowo in 1985 must not be allowed
to befall Sambo Dasuki in 2015 and Nigerians must rise
against this Buhari’s dictatorship and his instrument of
oppression, Lawal Daura.”

Senegalese authorities have made a number of arrests
as part of a sweeping offensive against people
suspected to have links with the extremist Boko Haram
sect, which has for years wreaked havoc in Nigeria and
its northern neighbours.



A number of suspects were picked up in and around
Dakar, the Senegalese capital, in the past two weeks as
part of the Senegalese government’s drive to crack
down on some suspected collaborators of the extremist
sect in the Muslim-dominated West African country
known for its peace and democratic culture.
Two women were arrested in Guidiawaye, a suburb of
Dakar, on suspicion of links to the group.


Officials say the women popped up on the radar of
security agencies and were afterwards placed under
surveillance after authorities intercepted their
communication with a suspected Boko Haram fighter in
Nigeria, who was confirmed to be the husband of one
suspect and brother to the other.


Security forces also reported uncovering a consistent
number of money transfers between the suspects and
their alleged Boko Haram fighter relative for months.
After their arrest, a search was conducted on their
home and a cash of 500 million CFA Francs was found in
their possession, authorities say.




“The fact that such an amount was in their possession
instead of being in the bank further goes to confirm ties
with the alleged Boko Haram fighter,” a security source
said.
Also this month, two Imams were arrested outside
Dakar.
One of them was arrested in Ziguinchor, the regional
headquarters ofSouthern Senegal, an area known for its
over 30 years of secessionist wars with the Senegalese
government.


In Kaolack, another suburban city hundreds of
kilometers outside
Dakar, an Imam was arrested.
The town is popular for being a base of the Tijanniya
Brotherhood, and home of the renowned Islamic
scholar, Sheik Ablaye Niass.


Authorities say the Imam, Alioune Ndao, had been
under security radar for months as a result of his
suspected links with Boko Haram.


“His sermons have been strangely inclined towards
“instigating” his congregation towards BH ideologies,”
the security source said.
Following his arrest, two satellite phones were found in
his possession.



Security insiders said a scrutiny of the call histories of
the phones showed consistent communications with
suspected members of the Boko Haram sect.
In the capital city of Dakar itself, a young man was
arrested for alleged links with the terrorist group.
Security operatives say their investigations revealed he
was a next of kin to a confirmed Boko Haram fighter in
Nigeria.


“He has also been receiving a lot of money transfers
from Nigeria after the death of his brother who was
fighting for the group,” one of the security sources said.
Investigating judge Samba Sall, who presided over a
hearing of the suspects, charged with criminal
conspiracy, money laundering and financing terrorism,
said the arrests were made following investigations by
the security forces which suggested contacts with the
Boko Haram group.


Besides its democratic culture in the past decades,
Senegal is also known for its religious tolerance, despite
the spread of various traditional Islamic brotherhoods
and sects across the country.

Four Islamic sects, the Qadiri, the Tijanniya, the
Mouride and the Layenne dominate religious and
political life in Senegal, whose population is 95 percent
Muslim.


A report by the Institute of Security Studies, an African
think tank, in 2013 said Senegal is becoming more
vulnerable to the region’s spread of extremism.


The Senegalese President, Macky Sall, told a peace and
security conference in Dakar on Monday that terrorists
should not be allowed to “impose another form of
religion” that does not “correspond to our traditions or
our conceptions of Islam”.


Mr. Sall told the conference that brought together
about 800 security officials and analysts from across the
region to the Senegalese capital to develop a
coordinated response to mounting jihadist threats
facing the country.


He said Senegal must develop “a philosophical and
theological discourse, training imams with a sense of a
tolerant Islam”.


Soumeylou Boubeye Maiga, African Union special envoy
in the fight against terrorism, said at the conference in
Dakar, “I think the main characteristic of the threat
today is that this is a threat that knows no boundaries.”

President Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon is a Nigerian of the
ethnic Igbo stock, adopted by a former leader of the
country during the Biafran war.


This startling revelation is about to be revealed as a court in
western France Thursday allowed a family member of Ali
Bongo Ondimba to view the birth certificate of the leader after
accusations that he lied about where he was born.


With next year’s presidential elections approaching,
controversy has been brewing over Ali Bongo’s place of birth
with critics saying he falsified his birth certificate to hide the
fact that he was adopted from another country.
If the allegations prove true, it could keep him from running
for another term and cost him his wealth.

The court in Nantes allowed 25-year-old Onaida Maisha
Bongo Ondimba, a daughter of former president Omar Bongo,
to view the documents in full.


Her lawyer Eric Moutet hailed the decision as “enormous”,
though “diplomatically complex”.


Ali Bongo is the only one of ex-president Omar Bongo’s 54
declared heirs not to have produced the identification
documents.


Ali Bongo assumed the presidency following the 2009 death of
his father Omar Bongo, who had presided over the west
African nation and its oil and mineral wealth since 1967.
The Gabonese constitution says one must be born Gabonese
to serve as the head of state, but French investigative
journalist Pierre Pean alleged in a recent book that the
president was actually Nigerian and was adopted during the
Biafran war in the late 1960s.


Bongo himself claims he was born in Brazzaville in 1959,
former capital of French Equatorial Africa.


The Nantes civil registration centre is responsible for all birth
certificates of people born in French Equatorial Africa up to
1960, when the former colonial countries in the region gained
independence to become Gabon, Congo, Chad and the Central
African Republic.


Ali Bongo announced in late August that he would give “all his
share of the inheritance” from his father to “the Gabonese
youth” in a speech marking the 55th anniversary of
independence.

Chinwuba Ekwueme, 42, a father of three and a member of the
Egede Neighbourhood Watch was on Friday, November 6,
reportedly butchered by Fulani herdsmen in Egede, Udi Local
Govt Area of Enugu State. The traditional ruler of Egede, Igwe
Polycarp Oyigbo, lamented the recurrence of nomadic attacks
against his subjects and wondered why government had not
been able to offer measures towards saving them from these
attacks. The photo is gruesom

"I do not know whether it would have been better to
allow them to take the law into their hands; so
government should take appropriate actions to end the
menace," he said. Lamenting the pain and anguish
brought upon the community by the attackers,
President General of the Egede Town Union, Clement
Amuji, said: "The attack by these herdsmen has
become a menace to our people. We have been
complaining to the government; we have written
several letters to Udi Local Government Council, and
the District Police Officer (DPO), 9th-Mile. This has
been happening; they have been destroying our crops
and raping our women."

A 56-year-old man identified simply as Ekpenyong, narrowly
escaped death in the hands of his two sons who were bent on
lynching him for marrying another wife after the demise of
their mother in 2008.


According to Daily Trust, the incident happened at the family’s
residence in Phase 2, Site 2, Kubwa, Abuja, on Sunday,
November 8, when the two young men, Nsikak and John
Ekpenyong, descended on their father because he did not seek
their consent before going ahead to marry another woman.



It was gathered that before then, the man had suffered a series
of humiliations and assaults from his children who were not
happy that he got married to a girl who is in their age range.


A close family friend narrated the incident: “The insults became
unbearable and the new wife who gave birth to a two-year-old
baby for their father was forced to run away from the house
with the baby,” a source said.


The friend also added that Ekpenyong had, on several
occasions, lost some huge sums of money and other valuable
items to the sons as they took advantage of his absence to
ransack his room.


On the fateful day of the assault, the older son, a 22-year-old
undergraduate, went into the father’s room as usual, with the
same intention, without knowing that his father was inside.
But as the father accosted the son, the other brother joined
and they beat him up, almost snuffing life out of him.


The man however raised an alarm which attracted neighbours
when the beating was getting out of hand, who in turn alerted
the police, leading to the arrest of the duo.

Wayne Rooney thrilled fans at the Manchester Evening Arena
on Monday night with an entertaining cameo on Monday Night
Raw.

The Manchester United forward was in attendance at the event
with son Kai, 6, when he was addressed by the Lancashire-
born wrestler, Wade Barrett.


"In this ring are two men who can be described as having
championship material," said Barrett.
"Which is more than can be said for Wayne Rooney and
Manchester United."


When Barrett continued to bad-mouth Rooney, the pair stood
face-to-to-face before Rooney slapped the Preston North End
fan to the ground.


Rooney later posed for photos backstage at the event with
Manchester United's assistant coach, Ryan Giggs, and former
United midfielder, Darren Fletcher.

There have been calls to drop the England captain after a
difficult start to the season as Manchester United's main
striker. Former England captain Alan Shearer has suggested
that the 30-year-old is in desperate of a rest in order to
reverse his slump in form.


West Brom defender, Jonny Evans, has backed his former
Manchester United teammate to re-find his goalscoring touch
, hailing the striker as 'one of the best in the world'.


“If you look at those great United players from recent years,
[Cristiano] Ronaldo and Wayne are definitely at the top along
with Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. On his day Wayne’s
probably one of the best in the world.”

T he Association of Senior Civil Servants (ASCS) have called
upon President Muhammadu Buhari to reverse former
President Goodluck Jonathan’s illegal appointments, according
to media reports.

The ASCS threatened a trade union dispute if these
appointments were not reversed.
The group has also demanded an increase in their wages in
line with the “declining value of the naira”.
According to a media report, many career civil servants
protested the appointment of 530 of former President
Jonathan’s “aides and cronies” to the civil service in the last
days of his administration. These appointees were reportedly
provided senior level positions starting at the Assistant
Director level.


In a statement issued on Wednesday, the President of ASCS,
Mr. Bobboi Bala Kaigama, criticized the current state of the
Federal Civil Service. His statement noted that despite the
appointment of illegal candidates, the commission dedicated to
the screening of prospective employees, the Federal Civil
Service Commission (FSCS), actually dissolved its own
recruitment policies.


The results of this weakening, according to Mr. Kaigama, was
the appointment of “civil service officers...to positions without
the requisite qualifications, as provided for in the scheme of
service.”


When speaking to Punch Newspaper Mr. Kaigama also made it
known that President Buhari had been alerted to the “crisis”
and the need to return “sanity” to the system. He stressed that
if the issues were not addressed the ASCS would initiate a
trade union challenge to President Buhari.


Mr. Kaigama also touched upon the need for highers wages,
pointing out that the current wages, “can no longer take us
[civil servants] to the bus stop, let alone take us home.”
Currently the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and the Nigerian
Labor Congress (NLC) have created two committees to
determine the percentage increase which the civil servants
should receive.


Once these two organizations present their findings, Mr.
Kaigama and ASCS will begin negotiations with the Federal
Government.

Residents of Abaakaliki, the Ebonyi state capital were in panic
mood yesterday, over the purported relocation of Boko Haram
suspects to the state from Ekwulobia, Anambra.

The Sun reports that the residents had woken up to hear news
that 47 Boko Haram suspects, who had been taken from
Anambra, were being deposited in their state. Residents were
already planning to stage a protest.

[The state governor, Dave Umahi, has, however, moved to quell
the reports, claiming that there was nothing like that happening
in the state.


“I received a text message shortly after I returned to Abakaliki
from my trip to Israel that Boko Haram suspects previously re­
located to Ekwulobia Prison in Anambra State have been relo­
cated to Abakaliki Prison.
“Immediately I got the text massage, I made some calls and I
can tell you authoritatively that Boko Haram suspects were not
relocated to Abakaliki and there are no plans for such
relocation. Ebonyi State is not yet ripe to accommodate such
high caliber of prison inmates,” he said.
The residents’ fears were said to have stemmed from the fact
the location where the suspects will be taken to was not
revealed after their relocation from Ekwulobia prisons.



Although an impeccable source had conformed that the
suspects had arrived at the Abakaliki prisons last night in four
trucks heavily guarded by security operatives, the state police
commissioner, Peace Ibekwe Abdallah, denied being aware of
any such thing happening within the state.
The public relations officer of Abakaliki prisons confirmed also
that he was not aware of the arrival of the terrorists at the
prison.


According to him: “I am not aware of Boko Haram suspects
being brought to the prisons. If they are on their way, I don’t
know.”

Meanwhile, calm has been restored to Ekwulobia community
following the relocation of the 47 Boko Haram
suspects from a prison facility in the area.

This was contrary to heightened tension with which the
residents had been living since the Islamist sect members had
been incarcerated there.

Three top chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
Enugu state may be jailed if they are found guilty of forgery
of documents, Vanguard reports.


This is following a recommendation by the federal ministry of
justice’s Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Muhammad
Saidu Diri, based on a petition to the police headquarters by
Dennis Oguerinwa Amadi, representing Udi/Ezeagu Federal
constituency at the House of Representatives, since July 6,
2015.


In his petition, Amadi alleged that the party’s chieftains which a
former member of the National Assembly benefited from, and
following up from this, the police in Abuja have invited the
alleged beneficiary for questioning.

The Investigating Police Officer, ASP Emmanuel Mordi, in his
report submitted to the Commissioner of Police, Force
Intelligence Bureau, stated: “considering the overwhelming
evidence that flows from the finding of facts in this case, it is
conclusive that the suspects may have committed the offence
of conspiracy to wit: forgery, impersonation, altering and
perjury.”
While corroborating the allegations, Mr Diri, who signed the
document on behalf of the Solicitor General of the Federation,
said that a possible case of forgery has been established and
should be prosecuted.
“We have carefully perused the case file, it was discovered that
the evidence available disclosed an offence of forgery which is
a state offence.
“I am therefore directed to request you to forward the case file
to the office of the Honourable Attorney-General and
Commissioner of Justice, Enugu State for prosecution,” he
said.


At the national level, the party has described President
Muhammadu Buhari as being undemocratic following the
increased state of prosecution being meted out on its members
across the country over corruption allegations .


The ruling All Progressives Party (APC), in a message of its
own, fired back at the opposition, asking them to serve as a
strong opponent or they (PDP)
may become extinct.
