Herdsmen kill 100 in attacks on Nigerian villages



KADUNA, Nigeria (Reuters) - Gunmen killed more than 100 people in an attack on three villages in central Nigeria, an area where longstanding disputes over land, religion and ethnicity often erupt into violence, two local government officials said on Sunday.

Lagos State Government and its Ekiti State counterpart have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the cultivation of rice.

Ekiti State Deputy Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Prof Kolapo Olusola, said that the rice project would be executed on 10,000 hectares of land in Ekiti State and would provide job for no fewer than 9,000 youths in the state.

Olusola, who spoke in Ado Ekiti on Thursday while unveiling his campaign agenda tagged SHIELD, which he called “continuity agenda”, said that under the MOU arrangement, Ekiti would provide the land while Lagos would provide the funds and the technical expertise for the rice cultivation.

The PDP flagbearer said that if elected on July 14, he would deliver on his SHIELD agenda, which is a comprehensive blueprint for Security, Health, Industrialisation, Education, Leadership/Governance and Development of Agriculture and Tourism.

He said that his PDP government would attract and encourage investors in the agriculture sector through provision of enabling environment, adding that he would aid the establishment of cottage industries which would have to do with processing of the agricultural products in the state including maize, yam, cassava, plantain and cocoa among others.

Olusola said youths would also be encouraged to farm by the state government through provision and cultivation of lands for them, assistance with farm inputs and buying the output to remove the marketing challenge.

The PDP candidate, who said security was crucial to agricultural growth, economic development and attraction of investors and tourists to the state, said his administration would deploy necessary security with the deployment of ICT to ensure safety of lives and property in all nooks and crannies of the state.

According to the deputy governor who said the Fayose administration had delivered in the area of infrastructural development, said he would add to what the outgoing governor had done by prioritizing construction and rehabilitation of rural roads with sights of ensuring farm produce could be easily transported to the urban areas in addition to focus on intra and inter-township roads.

The deputy governor also spoke on the differences that his administration will make in the areas of human development, health, education and ICT among others.

positivethought:
ordinarily this would have been good news even though the talk of 2million jobs is just thrash of political propaganda, the issue is has the dredging of river Niger completed down to the open ocean? if this has not been done then it's all just a wild goose chase, I know buhari is very desperate to give his kinsmen strong advantages in every aspect of the nation's affairs but it's not just by desire or might but by strategic thinking, planning n execution, northerners will be shocked to realize that effective inland water transport will actually favour the southerners especially igbos better than anyone else, j[b]ust think of a functional inland port at onitsha n the igbo dominance of the import export business, so it's not a bad idea after all.[/b]

please stop deciving yourself thinking you are deciving others. this is project was envisioned and awarded by goodluck jonathan not pmb. he did not stop the project because it is in the north. which other project has apc and pmb initiated. just blaming the pdp all these years.

According to him, “If you go to the Baro River port now, you will not meet anybody there. The facility has abandoned. Reptiles have taken over the terminals. It is a ghost town cut off from this world with no activity taken place there.

“It is a pity that when government was building that port, no provision was made to dualise the road link the port. Currently, the Baro River port is not accessible by road. You cannot get there by land except you are ready to navigate the horrendous roads and bush paths that lead there.


“Even if you decide to go there through the very bad road, God help you if you don’t get attacked by wild animals from the bushes surrounding that route.

“For government to have spent about N2.5 billion building that facility without thinking of how to link it by road sums up the clueless state of our leaders. Nothing is happening there as I speak.

Prof. Itse Sagay, Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) has called for the immediate sack of Service Chiefs in the face of deteriorating security problem in the country saying they causing embarrassment not only to President Muhammadu Buhari and those of them supporting the administration.

Speaking in a chat with Daily Independent on the latest massacre in Plateau State, Sagay also lambasted Mansur Dan Ali, Minister of Defence for justifying the killings by saying the anti-grazing law is responsible for the clashes between herdsmen and farmers.

He added that just as a football coach is fired after losing major matches, the current Security Chiefs have failed and as such should be removed and replaced with competent hands.

Mayor Bloomberg Breaks Ground on Staten Island’s New Stapleton Waterfront Community Project

https://inhabitat.com/nyc/mayor-bloomberg-breaks-ground-on-staten-islands-new-stapleton-waterfront-community-project/

Adenike Ogunlesi is a Nigerian woman who founded the brilliantly-named children's clothing business, Ruff ‘N' Tumble, in Lagos in 1996. It has become a great success story and exports along the West African coast.


Adenike Ogunlesi is the founder and chief executive of Ruff 'N' Tumble an indigenous clothing company in Nigeria that specialises in children's clothing. From a tiny shop with her and her mother as the main staff, Adenike aka Nike turned Ruff 'n' Tumble into an instantly recognizable brand. She has built a reputation for being one of the best manufacturers of children's clothing in Nigeria.

"My kids ran out of pajamas. And I used to make clothing for women. So I decided that I'd just make some pajamas for my kids. "

In her second year as an undergraduate law student at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria, Adenike opted out of school unsure of what to do with her life. She then reluctantly accepted her mother's invitation to work in her womens tailor shop. That experience helped her to discover who she was and what she wanted to do.She is yet another university graduate that never practiced her profession for one day. Trained as a lawyer at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, her father had wanted her to get into a high profile legal practice. But that was not to be. She refused to live out her fathers script. But her mother who made quite an in road into fashion in Ibadan in the early 60s and 70s, asked her to stay with her. Within one year, she said she discovered herself.


"I started in 1996, I was selling from the back of my car, I was selling at bazaars. Everywhere, there was a bazaar, I was there, my table and my suit case, my children and sometimes even my husband. So it all started then."

Today Ruff 'N' Tumble is a thriving business with 50 employees and distribution along the West African coast.

"We don't export now. Export to the West African coast, yes, all along the West African coast, yes, but to say, America or to England, I'm not interested in it at all. If 40 percent of the 120 million people in Nigeria are children, I have the potential of a huge market here."

Adenike was featured in the Africa Open for Business documentary and was recognized as the Fate Foundation Model Entrepreneur in 2005.
She is a mentor to Junior Achievement of Nigeria and the Fate Foundation.

In Saner climes , a state of emergency should have been declared within that area until the perpetrators are hunted down & brought to book.

The President shouldn't be even smiling plenty, it's not a pleasant occasion.

Finally, the national team should be allowed to use a black arm ban to mark the mourning of the victims.

May God grant Nigeria lasting peace.
Super Eagles emerge victorious tonight &

May God grant the families of the Jos victims the fortitude to bear the painful loss.
