Did you say that about the two Michaels who hacked a British soldier to death

General Overseer, Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has warned the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to be cautious about appointing those who are to constitute his government.

tunde-bakareBakare, made this statement at the 26th anniversary of his church, tagged, ‘Democracy audit: chances, choices and consequences.”, stressing that the wasted years in Nigeria can only be restored if Buhari surrounds himself with men and women of goodwill, great intellectual capacity, competence and character.

He further advised Buhari to start the fight against corruption from his circle and lay a good example, saying change cannot be achieved if these were not done.

“I pray sincerely that not all those who facilitated his winning the election will be among those who run the government. I did say before the election that I trust the person of General Buhari but not all those around him.

“I mean every word of it because many of them are nothing but Ali Baba and 40 thieves. And if these are the same who would go into government, you can’t fight evil with evil. You can as well kiss the anti-corruption stance of Mr. President-elect goodbye.” He explained.

Bakare prayed for Buhari to have the needed wisdom and strength, noting that people were already submitting applications to him to serve in the incoming administration.

“The vultures are now going round and round. If he does not have quality people around him, then they will put round pegs in square holes and within two years, we are back to square one.”

In addition, the cleric commended the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Attahiru Jega for his leadership despite in the face of grave accusation and provocation by critics.

He also praised President Goodluck Jonathan for conceding defeat timely, and stated that the president had written his name in gold just with that remarkable democratic act.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA...

Super Eagles striker Emmanuel Emenike says he and his Fenerbahce teammates were left in shock after their team bus was shot at by a gunman on Saturday night in Turkey.

The Turkish league leaders were travelling to Trabzon airport to fly back to Istanbul, following their 5-1 victory over Rizespor, when the shooting happened. Emmanuel Emenike The driver was taken to hospital, but no players were injured in the attack which Emenike described as a ‘scary moment’.

“The incident left several players in shock on a day we should be celebrating a big away win,” Emenike told BBC Sport. “I was on the phone with my brother when I heard the loud sound and I thought one of our tyres had busted because the bus was swerving on the road.

“But when I found our security officer in front of the bus I knew something must have gone awfully wrong.” The 27 year old Emenike says it was not long before they realised someone had been hurt. “We quickly realised the security guy was the one who hit the break, and he said the driver [who was already soaked in blood] had been shot.

“The word ‘shot’ came as a big shock but when we saw blood and the shattered driver’s side window, it quickly turned into a scary moment for everyone on the bus.” Fenerbahce have since called for the Turkish Super Lig to be suspended following the attack. Emenike and his team-mates have been left stunned by what happened.

“It’s unbelievable that some people actually fired shots at our bus and the driver was badly hit, a bus conveying footballers and officials. “It’s strange, but it’s also an indication that things happen in life and no one can be guaranteed complete safety. “I just want to wish our brave driver a speedy recovery.

I will forever be grateful to him and our security man because that bus could have plunged down the bridge. “The outcome could have been terrible and tragic but we are all here today because of them and of course God was on our side. For Emenike, the shooting was particularly shocking as it brought back bad memories. “I’ve been involved in a terrible accident in Nigeria before, where my mother suffered severe bruises, and for a moment I had a terrible flashback when that bus was swerving all over the road. “I hope this incident will be investigated thoroughly and the perpetrators are made to face the justice system. Emenike, who has endured a turbulent period in Turkish football since he re-joined Fenerbahce in 2013, demanded to be substituted after he was booed by his own fans during their 1-0 home win over rivals Besiktas two weeks ago.

The Nigeria international has only scored four goals in 23 league appearances this season but insists this latest incident will not force him to quit the Istanbul-based club. “I have a contract here and I love the club,” he added. “It’s only an isolated incident and not enough to make me look for an easy way out.

“I have put the past behind me and I am only focussing on what lies ahead. I am stronger now than before and right now I just want to wish our bus driver a speedy recovery.” Fenerbahce, who have former Premier League players Dirk Kuyt, Raul Meireles and Emre Belozoglu in their side, are the defending champions and have won the major domestic competition 19 times. The Istanbul-based team went top of the table with their victory on Saturday, one point ahead of bitter rivals Galatasaray.

“AS Ijaw, we feel proud that one of us has provided Nigeria an example of a true democrat.’’

With these words, the founding Secretary of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), Pastor P. Z. Aginighan, spoke the minds of his Ijaw people on the presidential election.

Also from Aginighan, a former Executive Director, Finance and Administration, Niger Delta Development Corporation (NDDC) and Acting Managing Director, came a message from the Ijaw to the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari: “He (Buhari) should govern with the fear of God and deliver on his promises to Nigerians during his electioneering campaign. Now that he is about to enjoy the fruit of democracy epitomised by the decent democratic conduct of President Jonathan, he should do all to strengthen the democratic institutions in the country. He should also have the courage to do likewise if he is defeated in an election.”

PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN

The INC leader, in an interview with Sunday Vanguard, explained that the Ijaw mobilised for their kinsmen, Jonathan, ahead of last weekend polls, saying, “I heard the President of the Ijaw National Congress, Barrister Boma Obuoforibo, appeal to all Nigerians to re-elect President Jonathan for a number of days on NTA. Other Ijaw groups from Arogbo/Apoi clans in Ondo State to Eastern Obolo/Ibeno clans in Akwa Ibom State all mobilised for Jonathan.”

On the message Jonathan was trying to send by conceding defeat to Buhari, Aginigham said: “That was the manifestation of the finger of God upon Nigeria. It was the greatest demonstration of love for Nigeria. It was an uncommon show of statesmanship. General Buhari that he conceded defeat to never did same to him in 2011. His action is in conformity with the injunction of the Holy Bible in Romans 12:21: ‘Be not overcome of evil but overcome evil with good’. Jonathan kept his date with history. As Ijaw, we feel proud that one of us has provided Nigeria an example of a true democrat.’’

On the response of the world leaders to the President’s disposition to the outcome of the March 28 election, he stated: “For a man who resisted the temptation to use the instruments of coercion and stupendous state resources at his disposal to perpetuate himself in power, for a man who congratulated his opponent while the collation of results was still going on, for a man who averted the wasting of lives of thousands of innocent Nigerians through a post election violence, all the outpouring of commendation from within and outside Nigeria is well deserved. President Jonathan has lived out his often quoted saying that nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian.’’

On the insinuation in some quarters that Jonathan is more of an Ijaw President than a Nigerian President, the former NNDC Acting MD said: “To me, Jonathan is not an Ijaw President as he has been painted in certain quarters. He is a Nigerian President of Ijaw extraction. He recognised that he became President of Nigeria in 2010 by divine providence. In 2011, Nigerians overwhelmingly elected him as their President. He served Nigeria to the best of his ability with all the challenges that he faced, particularly the Boko Haram insurgency in the North.

Jonathan has constructed so many roads for Nigeria with none that he has commissioned in the Ijawland since he became President. He established Almajiri schools in the North but none for the migrant fishermen in his native Ijaw land. There are SURE-P mass transit buses all over Nigeria but no SURE-P boats throughout the coastal belt that is inhabited largely by the Ijaw. No part of the Ijawland is benefiting from the railways Jonathan has revamped.

Ijaw does not have any airport to refurbish. Jonathan’s Ijawland is largely in darkness, inaccessible by road, without potable water. He pleased the rest of Nigeria and forgot his people, thinking that by so doing they would re-elect him, but that did not happen.”

I hope robbers will desist from criminal ways or else their days are numbered...


"PROGRESSIVE CHANGE IN PROGRESS"...

Hawking on the highways has become a menace in Abuja as able-bodied youths dash from one end of the highway to another hawking sundry articles.

Some of them are below 18years, who should be in school while a number of them are armed robbers pretending to be traders. At every slight opportunity, they rob their unwary victims of their valuables.

Admittedly, many of those youths are pushed into this illegal business by extreme poverty and joblessness. Some of whom are breadwinners not by their own choice but by the harsh realities of existence. They embark on trading on the highways as a last resort because the economy has excluded them and the government has not provided much of social security or welfare.

Speaking to Sunday Vanguard, a ‘pure water’ hawker, Ahmed Abubakar, aged 16, who arrived in Abuja from Gombe in a lorry noted that hawking on the street became inevitable when there was no means to further his education. He said with every air of confidence that the selling of ‘pure water’ had assisted him to feed himself.

In a mixture of Pidgin English and Hausa language, Abubakar asked, “E better pass make l dey thief. Ko ba aka ba? (meaning, is that not so?).

Police IG Sulaiman Abba

Nkenna, 32, who sells plantain chips at the Deidei under bridge Berger, told Sunday Vanguard that he came to Abuja after finishing his ordinary national diploma, OND. He disclosed that his plan was to use the business to raise enough capital to go for his HND. He added that he hawks at the junction between 7am and 5pm daily.

Akpan Nfon, a shoe rack seller, lamented the woes of many of his friends who had suffered losses as the result of the activities of the men of the Abuja Environmental Protection Board, AEPB who often times swoop on them and cart away their market (goods). My advice is that if government does not want to see us here, they should try to make things easier for us by building cheap and affordable shops for us, the type we can afford to pay,”Nfon said.

Mallam Inuwa Sadiq, another hawker, said: “This is what I am doing for now and anybody who wants to get me out of this place should provide another work for me. I don’t care whether there is AEPB or not because they are not the ones feeding me. I came to Abuja to struggle for living and God has been faithful to me.”

Buraimo Saliu, also hawking on an Abuja highway, said, “I like what I am doing. Selling something on the road is better than engage in criminal activities. I am not doing something unusual.

“I am aware that some of us indulge in criminal activities to support themselves but only hawk on the road to cover up but I can’t be part of them because l know God has a good plan for me.

“The AEPB, and their policemen should concentrate on making shops and houses affordable for the poor in Abuja or leave us alone. I am aware of the risk involved in every business and, if in the course of this work, a vehicle knocks me down and I die, so be it”.

For some others, Abuja is the federal capital city flowing with money and power. They left their villages for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in search of greener pastures only to discover, regrettably, that they cannot afford the basic needs of life there. Without income, a decent house to sleep in and money to rent shops, they become desperate. Those who are not criminally minded find trading in the streets a survival option.

More often than not, this unregulated trade also constitutes an eyesore to the environment. It poses a threat to the beautification and landscaping of Abuja highways.

Street hawking defaces the environment through littering by people who buy the goods sold by the hawkers and adds to environmental pollution when drainages are blocked leading to flooding and breeding of vectors especially during the rainy season.

Pathetically, those hawkers damn the risk of trading on the highways. This, of course, may be the reason the AEPB kicks against street hawking.

Mr Joe Okairo, AEPB spokesman, in an interview with Sunday Vanguard, said the menace is a clog in the wheel of the FCT, blaming it on the influx of people from other parts of the country into Abuja

“What we have to understand is that because of insecurity in some parts of the country, like you yourself can witness, the population in the FCT has increased dramatically”, Okairo said.

For an enduring solution to street trading, he disclosed that plan was underway by the AEPB to create a kind of station market for the hawkers so they can indeed vacate the highways.

“We are not resting on our oars; we are not resting until we sanitize the city. We are also trying to see if we can create a soft landing for the hawkers but for now it has not materialized, it is called the station market, we are still working on that but it has not worked out yet”.

On the effects of highway hawking, Mr Biliaminu Taiwo, 30, a civil engineer in Karu, stated that one of the main causes of traffic gridlock in most of the satellite towns in Abuja is the careless manner at which hawkers run across moving vehicles. He explained that as a result of that, drivers would be made to pull their brakes abruptly to avoid running them over.

“Most times, it is not the bad state of the roads or the queues at various filling stations that cause traffic but hawkers that run across the highways like they own the road. They don’t give way for vehicles because they believe that the drivers should be human and wise enough to pull the brakes,” Taiwo stated.

He recalled that he almost ran down a hawker when he suddenly dashed across the road in an effort to escape from AEPB officials. “It would have been a different story if my car had by mistake climbed him”.
