Politics › Tribunal: Agbaje To Inspect Lagos Election Material by dridowu(op): 8:31pm On May 05, 2015

The Lagos State Governorship Election Petition
Tribunal sitting in Ikeja today granted leave to Mr
Jimi Agbaje of the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), to inspect all polling documents and
devices used in the conduct of the April 11
gubernatorial elections in the state.

The three-man tribunal led by Justice
Muhammad Sirajo, gave the order while ruling on
a motion ex-parte filed by Agbaje’s counsel, Mr
Clement Onwuenmunor.

The tribunal also ordered the Independent
Electoral Commission (INEC) to provide Certified
True Copies of all polling documents including
printed data in each polling units from the card
reader machines.

But the tribunal rejected Agbaje’s request to
inspect the polling documents and devices used
in the conduct of the March 28 Presidential
Election in Lagos State.

Sirajo noted that the tribunal was set up solely to
hear and determine the petition relating to
governorship election, adding that the tribunal
does not have the jurisdiction to make such an
order.

The tribunal also rejected Agbaje’s Freedom of
Information request asking the tribunal to order
INEC to produce all polling documents, and card
reader machines used for the governorship
election.

He said notices would be sent to parties for pre-
hearing conference.

It will be recalled that Agbaje lost the election to
Mr Akinwunmi Ambode of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) who was declared winner by
INEC.

He had dragged both INEC and Ambode before
the tribunal alleging some irregularities were
observed during the election which contravened
the provisions of INEC and approved guidelines
for the election.

Politics › Amputee Joins Buhari Trekkers, Set Out To Abuja From Kaduna Pics by dridowu(op): 4:42pm On May 05, 2015

A double Amputee, Musa Ibrahim said has embarked on a 200km walk from Kaduna to Abuja in solidarity with President -elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, joining a few other people who had made similar long walks for Nigeria’s new leader.

One person had walked from Lagos to Abuja. Another had set out from Yola. He is on his way to Abuja as well.

The 30 year old amputee said he is going to Abuja to deliver a message to the President-elect on the need to consider the physically challenged and handicapped under his government.

According to him, there is need for APC led government to look into the plight of the disabled, particularly in the areas of employment and political appointments.

“I don’t think past administrations were fair to the disabled in this country , they talk about our plight yet do less to help us”
Just before he began the walk from Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway, Kaduna today, Musa Ibrahim said he was optimistic that APC led government under General Buhari will tackle issues of injustice meted out on the less privileged in the society over the years.

Ibrahim who said he was part of the progressive Nigerians that voted out PDP because of non performance , urged Nigerians from all the geo-political zones to support Buhari to fight corruption and looting in government that plunged the country into the current economic woos.

“Buhari has made the promise to eradicate corruption and stabilize the economy, but he can only succeed if we support him” . Ibrahim stated.
Fielding question on how he intends to make the journey without hands , Ibrahim said it is one of those sacrifices he is making on behalf of the disables to ensure that Buhari government does not fail .

“I can eat and drink water myself so, I am fully prepared the difficulties that will come up during the journey.” He said
He however hopes to get to Abuja in five days and see Buhari one- on-one to deliver his message to him.

Politics › Why We Met Buhari-apc Governors by dridowu(op): 4:26pm On May 05, 2015

The governors elected on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress have stated that they met
with President-elect Muhammadu Buhari to
discuss the precarious state of the Nigerian
economy.
The Chairman of the APC Governors forum and
governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, who
briefed reporters at the end of the meeting that
held at the Defence House Abuja, said the
country’s economy is in such bad shape that no
state has been able to pay salaries of its
workers.
“As it stands today, most states of the
federation have not been able to pay salaries,
even the Federal Government has not been able
to pay their April salary and that is worrisome,”
he said.
“By May /June, that will be three months and
with the huge expectations of the people who
voted for us into office, we are hoping that the
president-elect will do all that is humanly
possible to bring a bail out not only on the
states, but the Federal Government as well.”
Mr. Okorocha also said the APC governors have
seen a reason to work together with Mr. Buhari
in order to bring about the change that Nigerians
are yearning for.
“We also call on our brothers in the other parties
to join us to build the Nigeria of our dreams.”
The Imo governor also said they came as a
group to formally congratulate Mr. Buhari for a
“well deserved victory” in the presidential
election which held on March 28.
On the rumoured submission of ninisterial
nominees to the President-elect, Mr. Okorocha
simply remarked that it was “too early in the
day” to do that.
He said the names would be submitted as “soon
as necessary”.

Politics › Lawmakers Break Niger Assembly Gate To Remove Aliyu by dridowu(op): 3:54pm On May 05, 2015

Confusion reigned on Tuesday in the Niger State
House of Assembly complex in Minna as
lawmakers broke the keys used by the police to
lock the gate into the Assembly in order to stop
the legislators’ alleged threat to impeach the
state Governor, Dr. Babangida Aliyu.
The Police were said to have locked up the gate
to the complex to foil the lawmakers bid to enter
the chambers of the Assembly and stop the staff
from going in or coming out of the House.
The move by the police, it was learnt, was to
prevent the members from forming a quorum to
move for the impeachment of the governor.
Some of the members of the Assembly, who
were already in the chamber, stormed the gate in
fury and ordered the most senior officer,
guarding the gate, to open it for their colleagues,
who were locked out.
But the Police Officer, a Deputy Superintendent
of Police, whose name could not be ascertained,
said he was not with the keys of the gate.
The lawmakers, after their effort to persuade the
DSP to open the gate for those locked out failed
to yield result, proceeded to break the padlock.
“Are we prisoners? Did we beat anyone? Did we
cause riot? Why should you lock us in? These
people are trying to create trouble when there is
no trouble,” some of the members queried.
Our correspondent gathered that out of 27
members of the House, 21 were in the premises
to begin the process of impeaching the
Governor.
It was reliably gathered also that members were
complaining of non-payment of severance
allowances and payment of half salary since
February this year.
The state government is alleged to be owing
each member of the Assembly about N18m,
though this figure could not be independently
verified.

Politics › Call On Sack Of NWC: Mu’azu, Others Berate Fayose by dridowu(op): 8:44pm On May 04, 2015

By Henry Umoru
ABUJA- CRISES rocking the present leadership
of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Monday
took another twist with the National Working
Committee, NWC of the party, saying that as the
leadership of the party, it was pained that
Governor Ayodele Fayose whom they helped to
power was pushing for the sack of the present
NWC.
According to the PDP, the party and the present
leadership helped governor Fayose to power,
adding that paying back by asking for the
resignation of the same leadership, was
unfortunate and a total disappointment.
The governor had called for the sack of the NWC
at a meeting of the South-West Zone held in
Ado-Ekiti on Saturday at the instance of the
governor.
At end of the South-West PDP leaders,it was
resolved that both the National Secretary and the
National Auditor,Professor Adewale Oladipo and
Alhaji Adewole Adeyanju, who are members of
the NWC from the Zone should resign
immediately to pave way for the sack of the
Party’s NWC .
Answering questions from Journalists on the
development, PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Chief Olisa Metuh who expressed the
disappointment of the NWC over Governor
Fayose’s action, stressed that it was least
expected of him having enjoyed the support of
the same body to regain power in Ekiti state.
Metuh said, ” the National Secretary of the
Party,Professor Oladipo had already replied
appropriately. But we feel pained by Governor
Fayose’s action,this is a man that got total
support from the NWC during the governorship
primaries in Ekiti State.
“At a stage, some stakeholders in the state
wanted him to be excluded from partaking in the
party primaries, but we in the NWC stood our
ground that due process must be
allowed,through our internal democracy, he
eventually won the ticket and we mobilised funds
for his election,we give glory to God, he won the
election.
“We in the NWC were even accused of taking
N200m from Fayose to support him,the Governor
is alive let him come out whether we took any
money from him,we are pained that such a man
we supported so much could come around and
call for our sack because of the outcome of an
election not due to our faults.
“Professor Oladipo is the National Secretary of
the Party while Alhaji Adeyanju remains the
National Auditor and not State or Zonal officers
that can just be chased out of office” as being
done in the Zone.”
Prof Oladipo had in a swift reaction to the
position of the leaders dismissed the call for his
resignation and that of the National Auditor of
the Party,saying that those behind the Ekiti
meeting were pursuing personal agenda

Car Talk › Brake Failure While Driving: What Should Drivers Do? by dridowu(op): 1:55pm On May 04, 2015

NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL RECOMMENDS
THE FOLLOWING MEASURES FOR DRIVERS.
1. Downshift immediately
Putting the car in a lower gear allows the engine
to slow the car, and may give you enough time
to be able to safely pull over. Whether you're
driving an automatic or a manual, try to
downshift smoothly through the gears. If you
downshift too quickly, you risk a skid. Do not
shut off the car to stop it, as you'll lose your
power steering, and do not put the car in neutral
or you will lose the engine braking effect.

2. Try the emergency brake, but don't depend on
it to stop you
If you're driving a car with a good, strong
emergency brake, go ahead and use it. In cars
with manual transmissions, the emergency brake
is often operated via a hand-activated lever
located behind the shifter, while in many
automatics you use a small pedal located on the
far left of the driver. It helps to try your
emergency brake out at slow speeds to see how
much stopping power it really has.

3. Work your vehicle into the right lane as soon
as you can
Move toward the right shoulder of the road, or, if
possible, toward an exit. If it is necessary to
change lanes, do so smoothly and carefully,
watching your mirrors and the traffic around you
closely.

4. Stay off the gas pedal
Perhaps this goes without saying, but do not
touch the gas pedal. Your goal, right now, is to
slow down, pull over and safely stop.

Nairaland General › 10 Ways To Be A Leader—even When You Aren’t In Charge by dridowu(op): 11:11am On May 02, 2015

Do you think of a leader as someone else with a
more important title or more experience? Think
again. True leaders have more than impressive
job descriptions and company anniversaries.
They have influence and contribute to something
bigger, not just to the work but also to the team.
You can show up like a leader, too. And when
you do, the rest of your career will take care of
itself. Here are 10 behaviors that can help make
you a leader:
1. Speak up.
Leaders, regardless of title, know their role—to
share and be part of the conversation . They
aren’t content to be bystanders. Decide upfront
in any meeting or discussion that you have a role
to play and participate. Think about how you can
contribute, not if you’ll look good.
2. Have ideas to make things better.
Leaders contribute to the greater good. Bring
ideas to help make your work, team and
organization better. And good ideas come from
being informed and learning about much more
than just your daily work.
3. Stop talking about other people.
Nothing makes you look smaller faster than filling
your conversations with everyone else’s
weaknesses. I used to work with someone with a
nonstop commentary on how everyone else was
annoying, frustrating, uninformed or clueless, and
so on. Most people who spend their energy in
this way are trying to deflect from their own lack
of confidence. It’s hard to have influence if
criticism is your currency.
4. Show your brand of enthusiasm.
This doesn’t mean you have to become a
cheerleader or be someone you aren’t.
Enthusiasm means confidence in your ideas, a
positive outlook and valuing others. No one will
show more enthusiasm for your ideas than you
do.
5. Power up others’ ideas.
When someone else gives a good idea, offer
validation and expand on it. As an example, if
your co-worker has a great recommendation for a
new way of connecting with customers, then
recommend how to get started with an
experiment.
6. Constantly improve how you work.
Always look for ways you can do your work
better. Share ideas for even small improvements.
Keep looking for how to increase your
contribution—even if no one is asking you to do
it.
7. Quit being a professional critic.
Early in my career, I had a respected boss tell
me that “being a critic isn’t hard and that no one
earns respect from doing the easy lifting.” It’s
not difficult to point out what’s wrong. Leaders
have recommendations and answers.
8. Solve problems rather than self-promote.
Keep your eye on the problem you want to solve
or an opportunity to make your work or team
better. Recommendations intended to make
yourself look good or get promoted are pretty
easy to spot.
9. Give credit to others.
Appreciate others’ contributions. Openly thank
people for a great recommendation that worked.
Congratulate others for the success of their new
project. This shows not only self-confidence, but
it proves that you are more interested in the
success of the team than just your own.
10. Promote yourself.
Think as if you had the job that you want in the
future. Know the issues you’d have to consider if
you were in charge. This outlook helps you
broaden your perspective and continue to grow.

Family › Court Dissolves 3-year-old Marriage Over Wife’s Lack Of Vagina Opening by dridowu(op): 12:27pm On Apr 29, 2015

Abeokuta, April 29, 2015 (NAN) An Abeokuta Customary Court sitting in Ake on Wednesday dissolved a three-year-old marriage between Mr Femi Olayiwole and wife, Kemi, due to the absence of vagina, deceit and frequent fighting.

Olayiwole told the court that his wife deceived him to marry her knowing that she could not bear him a child.

He accused his wife, who had failed to appear in court after being summoned several times, of living a false life, frequent fighting and threatening his life.

“My wife had been deceiving me since we got married I have never seen her pass through menstruation. My wife does not have any vagina opening.

“Anytime I ask her for sex, she would give an excuse to back up her refusal. Meanwhile, we have been praying to God to give us children.

“My wife did not tell me anything about her condition before we got married, until February this year that she confessed to me that she had never experienced menstruation in her life.

“I thought she was lying, so I went to see her parents who told me it was true, and that they thought their daughter explained to me before we got married,” Olayiwole told the court.

He pleaded with the court’s president to dissolve his three-year-old marriage that had nothing to show for both now and in future.

The News Agency Nigeria reports that the defendant was absent in spite several summons by the court.

The court’s president, Mr, Olalekan Akande, dissolved the marriage, saying that both parties had made up their minds to part ways.

Akande said that both parties were free to remarry anybody of their choice, adding that the document of the marriage dissolution should be sent to Kemi
