PoliticsSenate Orders Probe Of Billions Spent Under Obasanjo, Jonathan On Electricity by Dbrainiac1(op): 10:49pm On Aug 13, 2015
The Senate, Thursday, constituted a 13-member ad-hoc committee to conduct investigation into the management of funds appropriated for the power sector by successive governments since 1999.
The committee, led by Abubakar Kyari, has a two-week mandate to conduct its investigations and submit its report to the Senate.
The timeframe given nevertheless, the Senate adjourned plenary to September 29.
The investigation is expected to cover the tenures of former President Olusegun Obasanjo (1999-2007), late President Umaru Yar’Adua (2007-2010) and President Goodluck Jonathan (2010-2015).
The Senate took the decision as parts of resolutions that followed a motion by the Majority Leader, Ali Ndume.
The ad-hoc committee will also probe the unbundling of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria by the Federal Government, the Senate resolved.
Originally, Mr. Ndume sought the immediate reconnection of some parts of Borno State back to the National grid in view of the challenges his constituents face as results of the outage.
Mr. Ndume expressed worry that the disconnection of Maiduguri in Borno State from the national grid, as well as the degeneration of power supply across the country, had affected the economic activities, especially collapse of several industries.
Saying no country can be said to near development without stable power supply, he regretted Nigeria’s production of over 4,000 megawatts for over 160 million population, while South Africa with far lesser population generates 40,000 megawatts.
“This Senate needs to investigate to give the government support,” he said. “For years now, a lot of money has been spent but there is nothing to show for it.”
Danjuma Goje, in his contribution, said “The problem of power was on before 1999, and I am surprised that up till today the power sector is grappling with sufficient power supply.
“This motion is apt because there is a need to find out what happened, in spite of the unbundling and huge amount so far spent.”
The Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio, lamented Nigeria’s deplorable power generation. For him, after corruption, lack of power is the greatest cause of hardship in Nigeria.
“We thought that with the Power Reform Act and unbundling of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, we will begin to see a relief with regard to power supply; unfortunately, it is not so,” Mr. Akpabio said.
Further, the senate urged the federal government to complete the Mambilla Power Project with the aim of improving electricity supply in the country.
It also asked President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the Transmission Company Of Nigeria to immediately reconnect Maiduguri back to the national grid.

PoliticsSHOCKING: Ogun Sacks Top Education Officials Over Exam Question Critical Of Govt by Dbrainiac1(op): 8:10pm On Aug 12, 2015
language exams questions for the third term academic session of the State Unified Examination in public secondary schools.
The exam had a summary passage that took a critical look at the alleged negligence of education by government.
The controversial summary passage read, “There is no arguing about the fact that the government is merely paying lip service to the development of the education. It is true that a lot of money is being spent on education sector but, with little or no impact felt by the people, except where we want to deceive ourselves.
“Many school run by the government which were formally known for academic excellence have suddenly lost their prestige and are living on past glory. No wonder many parents and guardians are threateningly left with only one option, to withdraw their wards from these schools to other ones that are better managed.”
Governor Ibikunle Amosun reportedly got infuriated after his attention was called to the passage, and allegedly ordered the sacking of the officials of the ministry directly in charge of that examination.
Reliable government sources said those fired over the development include an acting Permanent Secretary, Folashade Oresegun; three directors including, Ganiyu Odunsi, and a deputy director, curriculum and evaluation, simply identified as Mr. Majekodunmi.
The examiner, who is a teacher at Mayflower School, was also sacked, our sources said.
Other sources said the dismissal of Messrs Oresegun and Odunsi was later converted to compulsory retirement while the four other affected officials remain dismissed.
When contacted,the Secretary to the State Government, Taiwo Adeoluwa, said he was not competent to comment on the matter.
He said “the issue is a civil service matter, the best person to comment is the state Head of Service. Please call Head of Service”.
But when contacted, the Head of Service, Modupe Adekunle, said “I am aware that not all of them were dismissed, some were terminated, some compulsorily retired.
“When the issue came up, the state government put in the necessary process, a panel was set up to investigate and based on their recommendations, the civil service commission has to decide. It is a decision that has been related to the affected officers.
“The normal process was that a panel was set up, the report forwarded to the Civil Service Commission for the civil servants, the Teaching Service Commission, for the teachers.
“The decision was in line with the civil service rule, due process was followed to the latter.”
PoliticsTRIBUTE: The Oba Okunade Sijuwade I Knew - Olusegun Obasanjo by Dbrainiac1(op): 7:16pm On Aug 12, 2015
I do appreciate the immense pain that the unfortunate death of the Late Oba Okunade Sijuwade has caused his Oloris, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and the entire people of the Kingdom of Ife in particular and Osun State in general, who must be grieving at the demise of the Oba. Oba Sijuwade was, undoubtedly, a very eminent citizen and his death will be felt not only by his people but indeed, the entire nation. We can, nevertheless, be consoled from knowing that Oba Sijuwade has gone to rest in the bosom of his Maker and left behind him a good name and worthy legacy. Indeed, ‘Erin wo’.
We have been inspired, over the years, by Oba Sijuwade’s most impressive career as a tested manager of men and resources, a proprietor of repute, and an industrialist of distinction. From the Tribune Group where he had his early experience in the private sector through the Leventis family and therefrom into private entrepreneurship, he truly distinguished himself as a businessman of note.
His attainments, over the years, surely culminated in his unanimous nomination and coronation as the Ooni Olubuse II of Ile-Ife since November 1980. In this capacity, he functioned as Chancellor of the University of Uyo in Akwa Ibom State in 1988. It is a measure of his selfless and qualitative service to our dear country that he was honoured with the revered national award of the Commander of the Federal Republic, CFR, by former President Alhaji Shehu Shagari in 1983.
The late Oba Sijuwade was a patriotic and highly respected traditional ruler who had immeasurable love for his people and great faith in a united Nigeria. I remember his firmness in support of Government at all levels when I was President of Nigeria. His staunch support was appreciated and would always be remembered for it. He, accordingly, stood out as a voice of honesty and forthrightness in national affairs. He was at the same time a fervent promoter of mutual tolerance and understanding not only among the diverse people who lived in his domain but also across the country. The toga of acrimony, thuggery and violence which stigmatized the politics and the people of Ife and Modakeke for many years was permanently brought to an end by him with the support of his royal colleagues. Today, there can be no gainsaying that his nearly four-decade reign was marked by unprecedented peace-making and lasting peace and prosperity in Ife and Modadeke.
The late Oba followed the tradition of his great predecessors. He was a great traditional leader, urbane and respected by his subjects. His influence transcended the Kingdom of Ife and, indeed, Osun State. He stood shoulder-to-shoulder with traditional rulers across Nigeria and beyond the shore of Nigeria and was very well respected among his counterparts from the South, North and East. He was a unifying force not just in Ife but in the whole of the South Western zone and beyond.
Oba Sijuwade’s journey to meet his ancestors means an irreplaceable loss to his family, his people, Osun State and, indeed, Nigeria. For those of us who knew Oba Sijuwade closely for many years, the good times we shared, the successes we achieved together and the lessons we learned are as consoling as the legacy he left behind. Only about ten days ago he invited me to Ife to share with him his views and feelings on some national and community issues. It was like a parting shot.
Oba Sijuwade may no longer be with us but his legacy endures. He had a vision for his Kingdom and pursued it with every resource available to him. We must not let that vision for the greatness of Ife and the entire Yorubaland depart with him.
As we bid farewell to this great Nigerian, let us rededicate ourselves to the values he cherished and lived by such as love of the country and community as well as the readiness to help the less fortunate at all times.
On behalf of my family and on my own behalf, I extend heartfelt condolences on the final transition of Alaiyeluwa Okunade Sijuwade and pray that the Almighty God grant you all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.
May the soul of the dear departed rest in perfect peace.
OLUSEGUN OBASANJO

HealthFacts About Leading Causes Of Cancer Deaths In Nigeria by Dbrainiac1(op): 10:18am On Aug 12, 2015
The Committee Encouraging Corporate Philanthropy (CECP-Nigeria), a non-governmental organisation has described liver cancer as the second leading cause of cancer deaths in Nigeria.

This is contained in a statement by Dr Abia Nzelu, executive secretary, CECP, released on Monday in Abuja to commemorate the 2015 World Hepatitis Day coming up today.
Nzelu said Infection with hepatitis B (HBV) and C ( HCV) is the main cause of liver cancer with viral Hepatitis causing 80 per cent of liver cancer deaths.

”In Nigeria, liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death, accounting for over 11,000 deaths yearly and 32 deaths every day.
The leading cause of liver cancer is cirrhosis, damage of liver cells and replacement with scar tissue, due to either HBV, HCV, or chronic alcoholism.
”In 2013, about 300,000 deaths recorded from liver cancer were due to hepatitis B, 343,000 to hepatitis C and 92,000 to alcohol.’’


Nzelu said that liver cancer was rare in children and teenagers noting that liver cancer was more common in men with a male to female ratio of about two to one.
According to her, the average age of occurrence in Nigeria is about 46 years as compared to the developed world where the average age of occurrence is the mid 60s.
In the statement, Nzelu said that viral hepatitis was inflammation of the liver caused by a group of virus known as hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E.
”The liver is the largest internal organ, an indispensible organ with several important functions including break down and storage of many of the nutrients absorbed from the intestine.
”It also helps in the production of most of the clotting factors that prevent excessive bleeding from cuts or injuries; release of bile into the intestines to help absorb nutrients.
”It also functions in the removal of harmful substances from the blood,”she said.

According to her, viral hepatitis, which is one of the most communicable diseases in the world, is spread through contaminated blood, intravenous drug abuse and sexual contact with an infected person.
She explained that in highly endemic areas like sub-Saharan Africa and Asia, hepatitis B is most commonly spread from mother to child at birth (perinatal transmission).
She said infection can occur during medical, surgical and dental procedures, tattooing, or through the use of razors and similar objects that are contaminated with infected blood.
Nzelu said that the survival rate from liver cancer was poor because liver cancer progressed rapidly and treatment options were limited, thus, prevention was the key to reducing liver cancer deaths.
” One of the most successful ways of preventing liver cancer is by vaccination against hepatitis B; this vaccine has been available since 1982 and the first dose is now being given at birth.
”The vaccine is safe and effective, protecting people from HBV infection for life and the development of chronic disease and liver cancer due to HBV; vaccination for HCV is currently unavailable.
”However, antiviral medicines can cure HCV infection with other ways of preventing it including limiting transmission of viruses by avoiding sharing of needles and other items such as toothbrushes, razors or nail scissors.’’
The statement also identified avoiding getting tattoos or body piercings from unlicensed facilities and screening of blood donation products as ways of getting hepatitis.
Safer sex practices, including minimising the number of partners and using barrier protective measures such as condoms, could also protect against the transmission.
According to her, reducing alcohol abuse, obesity, and diabetes will also reduce rates of liver cancer and treatment with drugs, including oral antiviral agents can decrease the risk of liver cancer.
She emphasised that screening and early diagnosis could prevent health problems that could result from viral hepatitis infection and prevent transmission of the virus.

PoliticsICPC Indicts Okiro-led PSC, Orders Body To Refund N145m by Dbrainiac1(op): 8:39am On Aug 12, 2015
The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, has ordered the Police Service Commission, to refund N145.16 million, out of the N350 million election monitoring fund to the Federation Account.
This is contained in a document signed by the Chairman of ICPC, Ekpo Nta, in Abuja on Tuesday.
“The total amount of N133, 413,845.99 from the N350 million 2015 election monitoring exercise domiciled within FCMB be remitted to the Federal Treasury through the ICPC recovery account at Zenith Bank,” it said.
The commission also directed all staff who took part in the election monitoring to refund the N11.7 million paid to them as two-way return ticket and airport taxi within the FCT to the Federal treasury through ICPC recovery account.
“The Police Service Commission paid DTA to all staff including those based in Abuja that participated in the training progarmme held within Abuja.
“The investigation has not revealed any criminal infraction against Mike Okiro as all issues outlined above are administrative in nature,” he said.
It was confirmed that Mr. Okiro collected five days each for two conferences that ran simultaneously in Dublin and Orlando, Florida.
“However, it was discovered that he expended the entire 10 days on the trip using the ticket-fare for Abuja-Dublin-Abuja,” it said.
According to the document, Mr. Okiro has written to the Presidency to expend the ticket-fare for Abuja-Orlando-Abuja on another trip coming up in October.
It said that if the presidency approved his request, the matter would be considered by the commission.
“However, if approval is refused, the fund thereof should be returned to the Police Service Commission and ICPC so informed,” he said.
The document said that the commission accepted the explanation by PSC that due process could not be strictly adhered to because of time constraint.
A staff of PSC, Aaron Kaase, had petitioned the ICPC that Mr. Okiro swindled the PSC of more than N275 million from the N350 million meant for training of its staff to monitor the conduct of the 2015 election.

PoliticsBuhari’s Delay In Making Appointments Exposing Us To Ridicule-apc Chieftain by Dbrainiac1(op): 9:36pm On Aug 11, 2015
A chieftain of the governing All Progressives Congress, Paul Ikonne, has stated that leaders of the party from the South Eastern region are being mocked by supporters of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party over President Muhammadu Buhari’s failure to appoint people from the region.
Mr. Ikonne who spoke with journalists on Tuesday in Abuja, said he believes the South East will get its due rewards soon.
“To be very honesty with you we are under pressure, serious pressure, because the PDP people and those that didn’t believe in the APC are just mocking us but we are not disturbed,” he said.
He also said PDP supporters are trying to create the feeling of disappointment and disaffection among the supporters of the APC in the South East.
He, however, assured APC supporters to remain calm, assuring them that Mr. Buhari would fulfill his promise to them.
“During campaign he came to South-East and he made promises and I believe he will keep to his promises. I have no doubt in my mind that when Mr. President turn to South-East he will balance the equation,
“Don’t forget that there still some key positions left that he has not filled, so I am optimistic that at the end of the day he will do justice to the South-Easterners,” he said
The APC Chieftain also commended Mr. Buhari over the appointment of the new Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Ibe Kachikwu.
He said the choice of Mr. Kachikwu was a good one because he has the qualities to help the President in his resolve to tackle corruption at the NNPC.

PoliticsWhy I Supported Dogara For Speaker — Gov. Aminu Tambuwal by Dbrainiac1(op): 9:11pm On Aug 10, 2015
The Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, on Monday admitted to supporting Yakubu Dogara over Femi Gbajabiamila, to clinch the Speakership of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Tambuwal, who is the immediate past Speaker of the House, said Mr. Dogara was more competent and had better leadership skills.
Mr. Dogara is more competent, accommodating and more capable to lead than Mr. Gbajabiamila, Mr. Tambuwal said, and added “sentiments have to be put aside”.
Messrs Dogara won the election to become Speaker the 8th House of Representatives despite stiff opposition from his party, the All Progressives Congress that supported Mr. Gbajabiamila.
Speaking for the first time on his role in the election, Mr. Tambuwal, said “the issue of competence led eight out of 10 members of the body of Principal Officers of the 7th Assembly” to endorse Mr. Dogara.
He said this when leaders of Sayawa Community of Bogoro and Tafawa Balewa Local Government Areas of Bauchi State paid him a “thank you” visit to show appreciation to him for supporting Mr. Dogara to become speaker.
Mr. Tambuwal’s admission has now put to rest speculations on whether he supported Mr. Dogara or played a neutral role during the jostling for the nation’s number four position.
Many had expected Mr. Tambuwal to support Mr. Gbajabiamila’s bid given the Lagos lawmaker’s role in his emergence as Speaker of the 7th Assembly. But ironically, he supported Mr. Dogara who opposed his ambition to become Speaker at the time.
But while explaining the reason for his action, he said, “the survival of the legislature as an important arm of government made it imperative that competent hands are headhunted to be its leaders”.
“Eight out of ten members of the Body of Principal Officers in the last Assembly supported Dogara’s aspiration,” he said. “Only Hon Femi (Gbajabiamila) and Hon Datti Ahmad supported Femi.”
“I have strong affinity with Hon Femi. He was closer to me than Dogara. But when talking about leadership and collective decisions, sentiments have to be put aside. I’m not here to tell you that my support made Dogara the Speaker, no. Two things made Dogara to become the Speaker, one is God and two, Dogara’s competence.
He continued, “The acknowledgement of Dogara’s competence did not start with me. It started from the time of Hon Patricia and Etteh and Hon Dimeji Bankole when they entrusted him with a sensitive position of the Chairman of House Services Committee.
“The committee is one of the most sensitive in the legislature. Apart from taking care of the welfare of members, the committee oversees all procurement processes. As the Speaker, I only did what my predecessors did by giving Dogara this sensitive position.
“No person, as far as I know, has ever served as chairman of the House Services committee in two dispensations. Dogara broke that jinx. All through my tenure, I brought Dogara close to me because I found in him a person who is competent, accommodating, and with capacity to lead.
“Anyone doubting Dogara’s ability to lead, should ask members of the 7th Assembly how he handled their matter. So we supported Dogara not for any reason but because he was competent to deliver on any task given to him.”
In his remarks, the paramount ruler of Sayawa, Gung Zaar (select), Ishaku Komu, thanked Mr. Tambuwal for reviving the age-long relationship between Bauchi and Sokoto States, saying the entire community will forever be grateful for the confidence shown to their kinsman.
Mr. Tambuwal responded, saying, “The relationship between people of Sokoto and Bauchi States was amplified in the First Republic when the first Prime Minister of Nigeria, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa worked in harmony with the leader of his party and then Premier of Northern Nigeria, Sir Ahamdu Bello.”

20 minutes: Your blood sugar spikes, causing an insulin burst. Your liver responds to this by turning any sugar it can get its hands on into fat. (There's plenty of that at this particular moment).
40 minutes: Caffeine absorption is complete. Your pupils dilate, your blood pressure rises, as a response your livers dumps more sugar into your bloodstream. The adenosine receptors in your brain are now blocked preventing drowsiness.
45 minutes: Your body ups your dopamine production stimulating the pleasure centres of your brain. This is physically the same way heroin works, by the way.
>60 minutes: The phosphoric acid binds calcium, magnesium and zinc in your lower intestine, providing a further boost in metabolism.
This is compounded by high doses of sugar and artificial sweeteners also increasing the urinary excretion of calcium.
>60 Minutes: The caffeine's diuretic properties come into play. (It makes you have to pee.)
It is now assured that you'll evacuate the bonded calcium, magnesium and zinc that was headed to your bones as well as sodium, electrolyte and water.

You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You've also now, literally, urinated the water that was in the Coke.

PoliticsOutrage Over Fashola's Spending Of N78million Lagos Funds On Own Website by Dbrainiac1(op): 3:28pm On Aug 08, 2015
The immediate past governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, approved an outrageous N78.3 million from the state’s treasury for the upgrade of his personal website, details of the contract awarded in 2014, show.
The mind-boggling expenditure published on the state public procurement office’s website, was first exposed by foremost budget analytic firm, BudgiT.
Other questionable expenditures incurred by the administration include N1.2 billion vaguely spent on the “construction of pedestrian bridges along Oti-Osa Lekki-Epe Expressway”. The spending did not specify the number of bridges.
In the same year, the government also awarded contract for the provision of wall signage in three magistrate courts at the cost of N17 million.
The Fashola administration further spent N3.46 billion for the construction of a beach resort in Ilase and N61 million for a Range Rover SUV and 2 Toyota Hilux trucks as the official vehicle of the Chief Judge of the State.
The document shows that the administration also spent N85 million for the repair and replacement of street signs.
Other curious expenses contained in the document include N330 million spent for the development of the residence of Mr. Fashola’s deputy, Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, and N94 million spent on “printer consumables”.
The contract for the refurbishing of the former governor’s personal website, www.tundefashola.com , was awarded to “Info Access Plus Limited”, by the office of the chief of Staff of the governor.
Curiously, for a company that specialises on building and upgrading websites, a Google search for Info Access Plus, revealed that the company has no website of its own.
According to information technology experts, www.tundefashola.com , created by the firm for the former governor, is a WordPress website and an upgrade could not have cost more than N300, 000.
[b]Outrage
The news of the expenditure has elicited outrage from Nigerians, with many using their social media accounts to lambast the governor, who was widely seen as one few upright politicians who could be given a cabinet position by President Mohammadu Buhari.
As the time of filing this report, the spending was trending on Twitter with 9,481 tweets.
Twitter user @Ruud_bishop exclaimed: “Wait!!!! At 350 naira to a pound, somebody that fears God, built a WordPress site for 222,857 pounds?”
A blogger, Chukwudi Iwuchukwu, said on his Facebook page that “he consensus is that the cost was grossly exaggerated and over-inflated. A WordPress website, like http://www.tundefashola.com/ should not cost more than N3million, according to expert opinions.”
A Twitter handle said, @cchukudebelu, said “1. The lesson from Fashola is “all have sinned & fallen short of God’s glory”, now let us seek redemption. My point: there are no saints.”
Another Twitter user, Tolu Ogunlesi, tweeted through his handle, @toluogunlesi ,: “How can you build a WordPress website for 78 million naira? Are you mad? Or am I the mad one for thinking you might be mad?”
“@bubusn also tweeted “No. 78.3m? Nah. Unless the website can tell you what Fashola did for every single Street in Lagos + accurately predict so will win BPL”
When contacted, Mr. Fashola’s media aide, Hakeem Bello, dropped the call after this reporter introduced himself and did not answer subsequent calls to his mobile number.
He has also not replied text messages sent to him for asking the former governor to explain why such huge amounts were spent on the projects.[/b]
