| Politics › U.K. Investigates Winners' Chapel Over Alleged Misappropraition Of N4bn Tithes by Chukwuemeka007(op): 4:59pm On Aug 17, 2013 |
United Kingdom's Charity Commission is investigating David Oyedepo's Winner Chapel ove misappropriation of at least 16 million pounds taken as tithes between 2008 and 2011.Over 1 million pounds is reported to have been sent to the Nigerian headquarters of the church between 2009 and 2011, the church's account shows.Spokesperson of the charity commission told reporters that investigations "regarding the charity's management and policies" are on-going. "We have considered documents and information shared by the trustees and our case is continuing," she said. The congregants of the U.K. branch of the church are allegedly given credit cards forms to make donations as they arrive for service. The forms are inscribed with a verse from the Bible's Book of Corinthians which reads, "God loveth a cheerful giver." Documents submitted to the Charity Commission show the parent organisation of the church, £8 million rich World Mission Agency, makes paltry donations to charity causes.Its books shows it donated N2.6 million (£10,500) to Great Ormond Street Children's hospital and N2.2 million (£9,000) to Christian Aid for the Haiti earthquake appeal and N625, 000 (£2,500) to charities in the Lewisham area of London. In contrast, it transferred N81.2 million (£324,683) and N165.8 million (£663,532) to world headquarters in Nigeria in 2010 and 2011 respectively. In 2009 and 2010 N48, 000,000 was set aside for "welfare assistance" for unnamed "certain member of the church." The Church also claimed it spent N37.25million "for charitable activities in Africa." David Oyedepo, who is believed to be the richest pastor in Nigeria, lives a life of opulence. He, through his church, owns at least three private jets and one of the most expensive private universities in the country. The Nigerian headquarters of the church prides itself as having the biggest church auditorium in the world. The auditorium sits over 50,000 congregants."All of us have a growing concern about any kind of mercenary response that puts cash at the centre of Christian faith. I challenge any movement, including Winners, to be open and account for its money wherever it goes because it comes originally from hard-working faithful people," said Joel Edwards, a senior figure in the British evangelical movement and director of the Micah Challenge which is running Exposed, a global anti-corruption campaign directed at churches, business and government. http://m.naij.com/news/43986.html |

| Education › ASUP Preparing To Resume Strike by Chukwuemeka007(op): 10:40am On Aug 14, 2013 |
The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) announced the decision to suspend the nationwide strike on July 16, 2013. Unfortunately, it has just been a pause.ASUP is gearing for another industrial action, which would commence after next week, and would be indefinite.The union made the appropriate statement on August 13, 2013, Tuesday during the mass protest to "save public education" in Lagos. "The suspension of the strike will expire next week and up till now government has not done any single thing in the agreement," said Chibuzo Asomugha, ASUP's National President.After 81 days of inactivity in polytechnics across Nigeria, the union decided to suspend the strike following the level of progress made in negotiations with the government.ASUP said that it suspended the strike to allow the Senate Joint Committee on Education to liaise with relevant government agencies with a view to tackling the union's demands within one month. Among ASUP's demands include the need for constitution of the Governing Councils of Federal Polytechnics; migration of the lower cadre to CONTISS 15 salary scale; and the "worrisome condition" of state-owned polytechnics in the country."Government should stop paying lip service to public education," said Mr. Asomugha. http://m.naij.com/news/43484.html |

BY CHUKWUEMEKA IJEZIE The serene, calm and peaceful ambience of the Federal University of Technology Owerri was disrupted following a robbery of the post graduate hostel's reading room last Thursday night. According to an eye-witness report, a gang of about 6 armed robers stormed the reading room at about 10pm Thursday last week, taking away readers' laptops, phones and other personal belongings. Thier attempt to rob other rooms was foiled when one of the victims raised an alram that informed the school's security about what was happening. The Nekede division of the Nigerian Police Force was later on apprised of the unfortunate incident. In reaction to the robbery, members of the Man O' War paramilitary group on campus imposed a 10pm-5am curfew around the hostels' environs and also closure of the hostels within this period and also stopped students from going to night classes. No official report has been given by either the SUG excos nor the Commander-in-Chief of Man O' War Nigeria, Imo state, FUTO Command. |

An estimated $250,000.00 worth of contaminated bread improver (Edlen Dough Conditioner) imported from the USA has been confiscated at the Onne Port in Rivers State by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC.NAFDAC head of Ports Inspection Directorate in Port Harcourt, Dr. Musa Umar, said the product loaded in 10 containers was first suspected by NAFDAC officials at the port in January while thorough examination on April 16 and re-examined in the presence of the importer, clearing agent and manufacturer were done on May 2. He said findings in the series of investigations confirmed that the product imported by Dorcas-Jedi Investment Nigeria Ltd had already deteriorated and unfit for human consumption by the degree to which the product's integrity had been compromised."Some cartons were soaked and there were evidence of bloated cans and products spilling on to the boxes. Full examination was attempted for all the 10 containers but no product with acceptable physical attributes was seen," Umar said. He said the economic loss for the end users (bread bakers) would have been enormous if the product was allowed to enter the market as its utility value had been lost.A representative of the product's importer, Dr. Ottih Ezuma attributed its spoilage to long delay from the shipping company that shipped it from Savannah Sea Port in Atlanta, Georgia, USA.Customs Area II Command Controller, Magaji Mohammed, who handed the products over to NAFDAC said his command had likewise handed over to NAFDAC 426 bottles of naturelite children's multivitamin discovered to have expired. The spoilt products still in custody at government warehouse, Onne Port are to be destroyed by NAFDAC Enforcement Unit after necessary official documentation. http://m.naij.com/news/34183.html |

Seidu sentenced him to three years imprisonment with effect from the date of arrest. He said,“The appeal of the defence counsel has been taken into consideration and the fact that the convict pleaded guilty as charged without wasting the time of the court was also carefully considered.”It would be recalled that Abiodun was apprehended by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on January 1, 2013, at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos.Abiodun, who played guitar for music star, King Sunny Ade, for over three decades, was caught while attempting to board an Air France flight to Italy.
