Peoples Democratic Party has called for the redeployment of the Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukaogu, ahead of the November 16 governorship election.

The Anambra State Chairman of the PDP, Mr. Ken Emeakayi, made the call in Awka on Wednesday during the presentation of voters’ register to political parties by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Emeakayi’s call came while questioning the decision of INEC not to give a copy of the voter register to PDP because of the pending resolution of the identity of the party’s governorship candidate.

He alleged that the REC was working for a faction of the PDP, whose motive, he said, was to paralyse the party so that the All Progressives Grand Alliance could win the election


Emeakayi refused to withdraw his allegation even after INEC’s National Commissioner, Chief Lawrence Nwurukwu, asked him to do so.

“I won’t withdraw it. I have written him (Onukaogu) and he has my letter,” Emeakayi said.

The situation soon afterwards degenerated into a shouting match as Emeakayi and the other factional chairman of PDP, Mr. Ejike Oguebego, struggled to collect the PDP’s copy of the voter register.

INEC eventually gave out copies of the register to Emeakayi and Oguebego, after Nwurukwu conferred with Onukaogu and resolved that “after all, the voter register is a public document.”

INEC’s Director of Voter Registration, Mr. Emmanuel Akem, had disclosed that during the last clean-up and optimisation of the voter register in the state, the state INEC came up with a final voter population figure of 1,784,536 voters in the state.

He said women with 900,701 voters constitute 50.5 per cent of the voter while male voters were made up of the remaining 49.5 per cent.

Akem said young people within the age range of 18 to 35 made up 52 per cent of the voters, while students, businessmen and traders added up to one million of the voters.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner, said with the completion of a valid and error-free voter register, INEC was set to conduct a hitch-free election.

LAGOS— Unless the Federal Government urgently intervenes to fly Mrs Quinneth Owolabi abroad for treatment, she would have her toes and fingers amputated due to gangrene infection.
Mrs Owolabi is a surviving cabin crew on the ill-fated Associated Airlines plane that crashed in Lagos two weeks ago.
But for her husband’s resistance, the amputation would have been done yesterday or today at Nigerian Air Force, NAF, base hospital in Ikeja, where she had been hospitalised since the crash.
Mrs. Owolabi survived the crash alongside six others, although two of the survivors later died at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH.
Vanguard gathered, yesterday, that the husband of the victim was making frantic efforts to reach the Federal Government for his wife to be flown abroad for treatment to stave off the amputation, especially as the government was said to be responsible for her treatment thus far.
Efforts to reach him proved futile as his mobile phones remained switched off yesterday and it was also not possible to speak with the medical team at the hospital as movements in the victim’s ward was restricted by military personnel.
National President of Nigerian Airlines Cabin Crew Association, NACCA, Mr. Charles Onuoha, who confirmed the development, appealed to the Federal Government to urgently come to the rescue of the crash victim.
According to him, Owolabi’s 10 toes and the five fingers of the left hand have been marked for amputation because of the infection that had set in.
He said: “We are calling for referral for overseas treatment, a post-trauma stress assessment and de-briefing for Mrs Quinneth Owolabi, and her colleague, Miss Toyin Samson, currently on admission at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Lagos.
“We are appealing for government’s intervention because that is the only thing that can stop this amputation.”
Onuoha also called on the Federal Government to beam its searchlight on the regulation of the aviation sector to stop the frequent crashes and deaths of cabin crew that had trailed the industry in the last 10 years.
Onuoha said though Toyin Samson’s case had been stabilised at LASUTH, she needed further medical attention overseas.
He noted that post-trauma stress assessment and de-briefing were a necessity for crash and hijack victims, and lamented the attitude of the management of Associated Airlines to the plight of the two cabin crew since the crash.

LAGOS— LagosState Po-lice Command, yesterday, paraded a 40-year-old man, Adeyemi Stephen Akintolure, a suspected fake medical doctor, who claimed to be a staff of Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH, with card No. 13541, identifying him as a surgeon and gynaecologist.
The fake medical doctor was also said to have fraudulently obtained N500,000 from one Joy Umosekhaimhe of 2, Adesanya Close, Ifeko-Gbagada.
Akintolure, who said he uses the wife’s car as a mobile clinic, said the money in question was borrowed from Umosekhaimhe, adding “actually, it was not N500,000. It was N260,000 she lent me to use for my brother’s ailment.
He said he is from OndoState, studied Marketing at ObafemiAwolowoUniversity, Ife, as a part-time student and graduated in 1997.
According to Akintolure, “I have not treated more than 10 people. I just treat them for malaria and typhoid and I also give injections too because of my experience at RivicHospital at Akure.”
When asked how he got the identity card, he said he got it from a business centre and that the computer operator signed it for him.
He said that he charges between N3,000 and N4,000 per patient, adding that his wife was not aware of his trade.
Police Public Relations Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police Ngozi Braide, said she received a petition at the area H Police Command Headquarters, Ogudu, on July 19, that one Adeyemi Stephen Akintolure obtained N500,000 from one Joy Umosekhaimhe.
Braide said that a letter was written to LUTH on July 23 to authenticate Akintolure claims of being a staff.
She said: “On October 10, LUTH replied that the suspect is not an employee of the hospital and was not issued the identity card.
“In view of the revelation, the suspect confessed that he is not a medical doctor, but has been practising for about four years, using his wife’s vehicle as a mobile clinic.”
She said his house and vehicle were searched and drugs, injections, syringes and laboratory coat were recovered.

THE Founder of the Mental Health
Foundation, Dr Emmanuel Owoyemi,
said on Thursday that 64 million
Nigerians had one form of mental
illness or the other.
Owoyemi, who disclosed this to the
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in
Lagos, on the sideline of a forum to
mark the 2013 World Mental
Health Day, attributed the
situation to the absence of a mental
health policy in the country.
The forum had the theme: “Mental
Health and Older Adults“.
“Sixty four million Nigerians today
are going through one form of
mental illness or the other because
everything that would cause mental
illness is on the increase in Nigeria.
“Poverty is on the increase,
hopelessness is on the increase,
insecurity is on the increase. There
is so much panic at heart, anxiety,
high level depression.
“And also, there is no mental health
policy in Nigeria right now; the
National Assembly has been
delaying in passing the Mental
Health Bill.
“None of the psychiatric hospitals
in Nigeria today has up to 1000
beds and we have over 160 million
people.
“We have about 150 psychiatrists;
we have 34 neuro-surgeons in the
whole country, meaning that, one
point something million Nigerians is
to one psychiatrist.
“How many people can one
psychiatrist attend to within the
1.2 million or 1.3 million?
“So, we are not doing enough. The
human capital is not there, the
facility is not there, and yet
everything that could cause mental
illness is on the increase in Nigeria.“
The World Federation of Mental
Health, in collaboration with the
World Health Organisation (WHO),
set aside October 10 every year to
raise awareness on mental health
issues across the world.
Owoyemi urged the National
Assembly to ensure the speedy
passage of the Mental Health Bill to
reduce high rate of mental cases.
“We need a mental health bill, a
national policy for mental health;
that is where to start from.
“There must be law; there must be
legal framework to work with;
there must be policy. That bill is
what will help us to be able to do
every other thing.
“If we say, let’s start putting
facilities, structures, systems in
place, it is the bill that will give us
the legal framework to do all that.
“So, if the bill is not passed nothing
else can be done, even to budget
for mental health adequately, we
need a bill that guides everything
we do.”

Ride on Gov Fayemi we are solidily behind you

Activities marking the third
anniversary of Governor Kayode
Fayemi of the western Nigerian
state of Ekiti on Wednesday
witnessed some prominent Nigerians
mobilising support for the governor.
At a rally held at the Oluyemi
Kayode Stadium, Ado-Ekiti,
Fayemi’s administration was
commended for its achievements in
three years.
Present at the rally were eminent
lawyer, Chief Afe Babalola, former
Ekiti State Governor, Niyi Adebayo,
Edo state Governor, Adams
Oshiomhole and Rauf Aregbesola of
the state of Osun.
Governor Fayemi speaking at the
rally today
Some of the leaders present, who
also included senators and House of
Representatives members from the
state, poured encomiums on the
governor, who they said had
transformed Ekiti.
In a speech on the occasion, Fayemi
pledged to work harder in the
remaining one year, in a manner that
every Ekiti resident would feel the
impact of the administration.
He appealed to opposition parties as
well as disgruntled members of the
APC, his party, to “sheath their
sword’’ and team up with him to
achieve his goals for the state.
“There is more to be delivered
under my administration but all of
these can only be achieved under a
peaceful atmosphere.
“As far as I am concerned, I have
sworn not to be distracted but
remain focused.”
Fayemi was sworn-in on 16 October
2010, following an Appeal Court
judgement in Ilorin, which directed
former Gov. Segun Oni of the PDP
to vacate office.

Pls guys hw can i post new topic using mobile phone application such as opera and uc web

Skelewu ko skelebe ni, is dat all d pics ? Fvck ds threadd

Dibiachukwu: Imagine Ngige, in an yoruba party. Laughing and dining with our enemies. Yet he is still mouthing off. APGA should get its acts together.

pls define Igbo Party or Yoruba Party or Hausa Party ?

We Real Nigerians knows ourselves

Inflation drops on paper but on reality the price of garri still remains the same or may even be higher.

Youngzedd: While APGA state chairman Chief
Kwentoh in dismissing the assertion that has been on cyberspace since last weekend said that what Obiano did was to transfer his registration from Lagos to Anambra
”The allegation of double registration is not true. Obiano only transferred his registration from Lagos to Anambra state. People should disregard such stories,” he said.
Reacting to the development, Prince Chukwuemeka, head of the Ifeanyi Ubah Media team said the issue went a long way to show why Obiano should not be governor.
“For him to have registered in Lagos shows that he does not come home to see his people in Anambra.
It means that he does not attend town union, kindred and family meetings. Now that he has been made candidate he chose to come home and register. Anambra people should be wise,” he said.

APGA are confused transferring from lagos to anambra, dat show dat obianno is not interested in anambra politics cos if he was interested he would have registered in d state from day 1 , dy are just forcing d man into politics.

Hmmmmm Obianno ? Time will tell

If true , y is inec yet to disqualify him ? Well investigation continues
