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.” |
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 http://blogs.premiumtimesng.com/?p=168434 |

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 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. https://www.naij.com/500732-facts-cause-cancer-death-nigeria.html |

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. www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/188215-buharis-delay-in-making-appointments-exposing-us-to-ridicule-apc-chieftain-says.html |

In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100 per cent of your recommended daily intake.) You don't immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavour allowing you to keep it down. 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. >60 minutes: As the rave inside of you dies down you'll start to have a sugar crash. You may become irritable and/or sluggish. You've also now, literally, urinated the water that was in the Coke.

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] www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/188040-outrage-over-fasholas-spending-of-n78million-lagos-funds-on-own-website.html |
