[ Love for Enemies ] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

Matthew 5:43-45 NIV

How would they differentiate between poor and rich?

The Senior Special Assistant on Media in the Office of the Vice President, Adeolu Akande, on Sunday revealed that one million extremely poor Nigerians would be direct beneficiaries of the N5,000 monthly cash transfer.

A statement by Akande disclosed that a total of N60 billion would be directly transferred to one million extremely poor Nigerians in accordance to President Muhammadu Buhari’s vision of building human capital.

The payment which is to commence once the budget is approved by the National Assembly, is in addition to another five social interventions that include the provision of one meal a day to school pupils in some selected states.

He revealed that other elements of the social intervention scheme, include the 500,000 direct jobs, which will see unemployed graduates being trained and deployed as volunteer teachers in their communities.

According to Akande, the current government is putting together a youth employment plan which will see the training of 370,000 non-graduates youths in different skills and vocational programmes.

Akande said, “The recruitment of beneficiaries into the volunteer teaching jobs and the skill acquisition training scheme for non-graduates would be done on state basis, including the FCT and opened to all Nigerians of different shades.”

He also disclosed that one million Nigerians, mostly small scale traders, artisans and market women, through micro finance would get a one-time soft loan of N60,000 each through the Bank of Industry.

really?

pedrilo:
APC are the new wailers in town.

With the latest happening, am begining to doubt the credibility of Supreme court. Are they going to be fair in their ruling? or are we seeing the other way round?

Sanchez01:
With the Rivers and Akwa Ibom "victory", I'd say the Supreme court is cheaper to buy than other courts in the country. However, Friday is just some hours away. I don't trust the Supreme court in any way. Let's just hope the apex court will not halt proceedings at this point.

Ade Adesomoju, Abuja

The Supreme Court will on Friday determine whether or not to stop the trial of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, before the Code of Conduct Tribunal on charges of false assets declaration.

A seven-man bench led by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, had on December 4, 2015, fixed Friday for judgment after entertaining arguments on an appeal by Saraki, with the Federal Government urging the apex court ‎to dismiss the Senate President’s case and allow the trial before the CCT to continue.

Saraki’s appeal filed through his lead counsel, Mr. Joseph Daudu (SAN), is challenging the majority judgment of the Court of Appeal in Abuja delivered on October 30, 2015, which affirmed the jurisdiction of the CCT to try him and the competence of the charges of false assets declaration preferred against him by the Federal Government.

The Federal Government had in September 2015 arraigned Saraki before the CCT on 13 counts of false assets declaration which he allegedly made in 2003 as Governor of Kwara State.

The Danadi Umar-led CCT had dismissed Saraki’s protest against the competence of the charges and jurisdiction of the tribunal.

Saraki had appealed against the decision of the tribunal, but the appeal was dismissed by a two-to-one split decision of a three-man bench of the Court of Appeal in Abuja on October 30, 2015.

He further appealed to the Supreme Court maintaining that the charges were not competent and that the CCT lacked the jurisdiction to try him because it was not duly constituted as it comprised two instead of three members provided for by the Constitution.

The Supreme Court had on November 12, 2015 through a five-man panel, led by now retired Justice John Fabiyi, granted an order of stay of proceedings of Saraki’s trial before the CCT, pending the hearing and determination of his appeal.

After granting the order of stay of proceedings, the apex court ordered parties –Saraki and the Federal Government – to exchange their briefs of argument within 14 days.

A new panel headed by the CJN which heard the appeal on December 4, 2015 comprised Justices Walter Onnoghen, Tanko Muhammad, Sylvester Ngwuta, Kudirat Kekere-Ekun, Chima Nweze and Amiru Sanusi.

Saraki’s lawyer, Mr. Joseph Daudu (SAN), raised seven grounds of appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeal, urging the Supreme Court to set aside the lower court’s judgment, the entire proceedings of the CCT and the charges preferred against him before the tribunal.

At the hearing of the appeal, Daudu faulted the judgment of the appeal court on among other grounds that it erroneously affirmed the competence of the proceedings of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, which sat on the appellant’s case with only two members as against the three provided for in the provisions of Paragraph 15(1) of the Fifth Schedule to the 1999 Constitution.

Daudu also maintained that the charges filed by a then Deputy Director in the Federal Ministry of Justice, Mr. Muslim Hassan (now a Federal High Court judge), when the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation had not been occupied by any person, were incompetent.

[ Psalm 18 ] [ For the director of music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: ] I love you, Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 18:1-2 NIV

Sahara Reporters, Guilty or not Guilty?

Former Delta State governor, James Ibori, was not released from prison and subsequently re-arrested as currently being peddled by media reports, according to his kinsman and Secretary-General, Oghara Clan Union in the UK, Mr Charles Abutoh.

Mr Abutoh told Daily Trust in an interview in London yesterday that the former governor was still serving his term at the Long Lartin Prison in Worcestershire, England, contrary to the reports that he was moved to a prison in Bedford.

Describing the reports as “totally untrue”, Abutoh said logically, Ibori could not be released before the completion of his assets confiscation trial scheduled for June this year, and accused those peddling the rumours of mischief.

“If you imprison someone for stealing, you can’t let them go without telling you what you say they stole. That is the essence of the confiscation trial. Once the trial is concluded and he is able to settle it, he will be released.

“They know Ibori sells papers, so some people just sit down and write whatever they like”, he said, and explained that the former governor is due to be released this year but not before the completion of the confiscation case.

“I visited him in prison about three weeks ago and speak with him every other day”, he said, adding that “things are still as they are, and everything is on course”.

Mr Ibori was jailed for 13 years in April 2012 in London for stealing and money laundering, among other offences.
