Barely four days after over 100 people died at a gas plant, the industrial town of Nnewi, again, witnessed another tragedy when a policeman went berserk on December 27 and shot dead three people at a traditional marriage ceremony at Uruagu-Nnewi in Anambra State. An eyewitness, who identified himself as Ifeanyi, said the bride and her Imo State-born heartthrob were dancing and getting sprayed with crispy naira and dollar notes at about 6.30pm when shots were heard from outside the compound. Ifeanyi claimed that a guest ran inside and informed the celebrants on what transpired outside leading to the ceremony’s abrupt stop. It was later discovered that the alleged drunk policeman had actually felled three persons said to be prominent Nollywood actors, who also came to grace the occasion. He was disarmed by fellow security agents at the scene. Contacted, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Okechukwu Ali (DSP), confirmed the incident. In a related development, a middle aged man identified as Onana Osua, who reportedly killed six persons over alleged food poisoning, was shot dead by a police patrol team at Ubiaja, headquarters of Esan South East Local Governmet Area of Edo State. Osua, who was said to be a chairman of a motor park in Uromi, in the same council, was said to have left the hospital where he was admitted after he was reportedly poisoned and given five days to live. Eyewitnesses said he went home, took his gun and went to the homes of people suspected to be responsible for the poisoning and killed them. Among his victims was said to be the wife of one of his targets. Osua, sources said, later fled to Ubiaja where he reportedly shot at a patrol team before he was gunned down. Edo Police spokesman, DSP Abiodun Osifo, confirmed the incident. He, however, said he knew about two who were shot and that one died and the other victim was responding to treatment in an undisclosed hospital. |

The dawn of every year comes with huge expectations from adherents of different faiths majority of who go extra miles to seek in advance what the year has in store for them. This practice which is more pronounced among the Christian faithful as accentuated by the special end of the year programmes organized by various Christian denominations is seen by many believers as a forum to receive revelations about the year from God. The dawn of the outgoing year, perhaps generated more intense anticipation of such revelations, than that of the succeeding years for two major reasons. The year 2015 being a year of general elections was welcome by many with heightened anxiety which came particularly from the fierce political rivalry between the two leading political parties in the country, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and the All Progressives Congress, APC. Added to this is the apocalyptic prediction of Nigeria’s possible break-up in the outgoing year. Interestingly, these two major sources of concern for Nigeria attracted the significant attention of most men of God as seen in their predictions. Shockingly however, a number of such prophecies hit the rocks contrary to what was predicted. For instance, overwhelming majority of the men of God predicted the 2015 presidential election in favour of the then President Goodluck Jonathan and candidate of the then ruling PDP over his APC opponent, Muhammadu Buhari . But the outcome of the election, however, put a lie to their predictions as the flagbearer of the APC won the election and had since been sworn as the president of the country. With the exception of Rev. Fr Ejike Mbaka of the Catholic Adoration Ministry, Enugu, who gave it to the APC candidate, others including notable Christian leaders such as Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC); Prophet Joshua Iginla of Champions Royal Assembly; Prophet Michael Olubode of the Celestial Church of Christ, Lagos; Primate Theophilus Oluwasaanu Olabayo, founder, Evangelical Church of Yahweh gave it to the PDP candidate Goodluck Jonathan. Other prominent men of God like Pastor E.O Adeboye of Redeemed Christian Church of God, Dr D.K Olukoya Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, Prophet T.B Joshua of Synagogue Church of All Nations and Bishop Oyedepo of the Winners Chapel refrained from making categorical predictions about the 2015 general elections. Besides the general election, the case of the abducted Chibok girls also generated considerable interest among Nigerians. The anxiety over the fate of the abducted school girls was raised with the prophecy of Pastor Tunde Bakare of the Latter Rain Assembly. The man of God had predicted the return of the girls thus: “The Chibok girls will be returned this year; some people will say ‘they are just using religion to deceive themselves. How will the girls be rescued?’ You will see. I didn’t say it, it is what God said and I believe it.” However, with less than a week to the end of the year it is yet to be seen if the girls will be freed by their captors. The possibility of the return of the deadly Ebola virus to Nigeria as foretold by a few pastors also generated intense fear among Nigerians. While Pastor Adeboye foretold the final death of the deadly virus in the world in the outgoing year, a few other Christian clerics including Primate Elijah Ayodele Babatunde of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Prophet Joshua Iginla of Champions Royal Assembly predicted the return of the disease to Nigeria after the country was declared Ebola-free in 2014. Although there were few instances of Ebola scare in Nigeria in the outgoing year, no confirmed case has so far been recorded contrary to widespread predictions about the return of the deadly virus to Nigeria. And on the possibility of conquering the virus in the year globally, according to the General Overseer of the church, the recent cases in Liberia that was certified free from the Ebola virus about two months earlier and WHO’s December 29 date inability of health authorities to contain the disease in Sierra Leone and Guinea in the last one month, it seems, is proving a litmus test as far as the prediction is concerned. As it stands, the world is still anxiously awaiting the World Health Organisation’s WHO pronouncing a final end to the scourge. Apostle Joshua Suleiman of Omega Fire Ministry, Delta State, perhaps was speaking about the late Abubakar Audu of Kogi State when he claimed to have seen a man winning governorship election but never allowed to rule. Audu, candidate of the APC in last month’s governorship election in Kogi was coasting home to victory when report filtered in about his demise. The man of God equally rightly predicted the reelection of Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosu and Tambuwal leading Sokoto State but his prophecy on Governor Rochas Okorocha moving to PDP and El-Rufai losing his governorship ambition in Kaduna missed the mark by miles. Prophet Williams Onuoha of Galilee Christians and prophet Anthony Nwoko were unanimous in their prediction of Igbo President succeeding former President Goodluck Jonathan. While the former categorically predicted the emergence of Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha as Jonathan’s successor, the later simply foretold a Nigerian president of Igbo origin. “I can see Nigeria’s glory in the Southeast, an Igbo president,” Prophet Nwoko had predicted. Plane crash was yet another recurrent prediction about the year. But barring few cases of emergency landings and near crashes, the nation’s aviation industry has so far been turbulent-free, contrary to prophecies by Prophet Iginla, Primate Ayodele and Apostle Suleiman, who predicted air mishap except intense prayers were offered to avert air disaster. |

With ease, she picked the drawing pen between her toes. From sitting, she stretched her leg to the pad and began to draw. Soon, a pattern emerged. The audience cheered. But she was not done yet. This time, an National Gallery of Art (NGA) staff member, Hadiza Muazu, volunteered to be her model. The artist did not waste time in putting an intricate design on the back of her palm known as Henna in Hausa, which is quite popular with women in the North. The design is akin to Uli in the Southeast. For those at the Sixth National Visual Art Competition and awards organised by the (NGA at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, that Thursday, the feat was a marvel from a 19-year-old girl born without both hands, who chose to rise above her defects. The attention of the management of NGA was drawn to her special talent during the competition. For this, a Special Award was given her. As the DG, NGA, Abdullahi Muku, put it: “Abubakar has demonstrated that there is ability in disability. If she is encouraged to set up a studio, she can become an employer.” But for the teenage artist, it has been a life of tenacity, doggedness and never-say-die. A native of Lapai, in Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State, Abubakar was born on September 23, 1996 to the family of Ndeji Abubakar. She attended Bani Primary School, Lapai, passing out in 2009. Thereafter, she proceeded to Government Girls’ Day Secondary School, Lapai where she obtained her National Examination Council (NECO) Certificate in 2014. According to Ezekwesili Mgbemene, the NGA Curator in Niger State, who traced her to her 44, Bani Road, Lapai modest home, “though born without hands, Shaidatu is a practising artist, who draws, designs and writes with her feet. She has in no way resigned to her physical challenge as can be seen with many in this part of the world, but she is always busy drawing, designing, browsing on her lpad and making phone calls; giving words of encouragement to other people. Daily, she does Kwinchi henna beauty designs on female clients who patronise her at her home. Her ambition is to own an art studio and to be a renowned artist.” Shaidatu has a good command of English language and she is a good conversationalist; what she lost in hands, she has more than made up in words and feet. At the event, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Culture, Senator Mathew Urhoghide, promised to use his office to assist the artist. Observers said what Shaidatu needs are artificial arms. She awaits succour to come to her through well-meaning Nigerians? For now, Shaidatu paints on with her feet. |
The United States is now the world’s largest oil and natural gas liquids exporter and would remain so for a while, overtaking both Saudi Arabia and Russia. U.S. production of crude oil, along with liquids separated from natural gas, surpassed all other countries with daily output exceeding 11 million barrels during the first 5 months of this year. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the shale oil boom due to hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling has resulted in large volume gains in U.S. oil production on private and state lands where federal policies have little effect on output. The US Congress had on Friday approved the lifting of the ban as part of a $1.1trillion spending bill. The bill was later signed by President Barack Obama. President Barrack Obama had during his last visit to Kenya sometime in July this year stated categorically that his country would no longer buy Nigeria’s crude oil thus heightening the call by the Organised Private Sector (OPS) that the country should intensify efforts to develop the non- sector of the economy. The US until then was buying almost 10 per cent of Nigeria’s total crude oil stock, but now buys a small amount of Nigerian crude oil due to the dramatic rise in domestic shale production. With the lift on the ban of US’s crude export, Nigeria has lost its biggest customer bringing the fortunes of its crude differential trading to the lowest in the last ten years. Oil analysts believe that Africa-US oil trade could completely stop in the next two to three years as other leading exporters, including Angola, Libya and Algeria, suffer the same fate as Nigeria. If that materialises, Africa will have to find new customers for its oil, going head-to-head with Middle East producers in the key Asian market. Added to this are several other African countries such as Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, South Sudan, Equatorial Guinea, Ethiopia and Kenya, among many others, that have made commercial oil discoveries or are in the process of doing so. What this portends is that some years down the line, the crude oil market would turn from a sellers’ market to a buyers’ market, as the likelihood of an oil glut forces prices down. Analysts argued that the reality of the US slamming the door firmly against Nigeria’s oil exports could be the wake-up call she needs. Nigeria, without doubt, has enormous natural and human resources that could still be tapped to stem her over-reliance on hydrocarbon exports. Following the latest development, there strong indications that the US would saturate the global oil market with oil hence bringing Saudi Arabia and other OPEC member countries to their knees. Since June 2014, crude oil prices have been on the decline and this has consequently exacerbated the dwindling fortunes of the Nigerian crude, with the nation’s crude differentials trading at a 10-year low. There are also reports of Nigerian crude currently floating on ships with a significant amount finding home in storage tanks rather than in refineries as a result of the supply glut in the global market, which is dominated by largely by light sweet crudes. A global oversupply has dramatically driven down the price of oil, with suppliers failing to reach agreements to address the glut. Just 18 months ago, in June 2014, the price of oil was traded at $115 per barrel. The price of US crude was also down on Monday, dropping 40 cents to $34.17 a barrel – the lowest since 2009. Industry analysts said there is little sign that the downward trend would change, with more US and Russian oil reaching the markets. Iranian oil supply will also resume in 2016, following the lifting of sanctions. In November, the 12 members of OPEC maintained production at 30 million barrels per day, as first agreed in December 2011. Findings also showed that oil firms have had profit margins squeezed, forcing them to cut spending in investment and exploration. Governments of some oil producing countries have also been forced to cut spending as revenue from oil plunges. Total OPEC crude oil production reportedly increased by 230,000 bpd in November over the previous month to average 31.70 million bpd. Crude oil output increased mostly in Iraq, by around 248,000 bpd, to average 4.3 million bpd. However, experts have projected that Africa’s oil supply is bound to decline by 30,000 bpd to average 2.31 million bpd in 2016 year-on-year. In Nigeria, the average cost of production by the International Oil Companies (IOCs) is about $30 per barrel, thus making it difficult for the country to sustain production in a very low price regime of $30 and below. The drop in the global benchmark Brent crude to $39 per barrel last week is already a threat to Nigeria’s N6 trillion federal budget for 2016. The Federal Executive Council (FEC) had approved the budgetary amount at its last meeting with a proposal for $38 per barrel as the oil benchmark price, down from $53 this year, 2015. The Excess Crude Account, into which the country saves the difference between the market price of oil and the budget benchmark to provide a cushion when oil prices fall or extra cash is needed for spending on infrastructure, has been depleted in recent times as oil revenues plunged. The account, which stood at about $4.11billion in October 2014, dropped to $2.45 billion in December that year, down from about $3.11 billion in November. The balance in the ECA was put at $2.1 billion in July this year. |

Floyd Mayweather showed off his extreme wealth on Monday as the former undefeated champion splashed $1.1 million (£726,218) on a diamond-encrusted Hublot watch. The 38-year-old posed with the costly timepiece and staff members at the Hublot store inside the Dubai Mall as he enjoyed a holiday in the Middle East. Mayweather was joined on his trip to Dubai by friend P-Reala and personal assistant Marikit, also known as ‘Kitchie’. Mayweather’s new piece of wrist wear is similar to Hublot’s Million Dollar Black Caviar Bang watch, which was released in 2009. Made of white gold and an adjustable leather strap, the watch weighs in at over 18 carats with a diamond-encrusted case, clasp and crown dial. After hanging up his gloves following the defeat of Andre Berto earlier this year, Mayweather has made the most of retirement with his trip to Al Sahra Desert following recent sight-seeing in Monaco and Italy. He began the trip by posing for a photograph in front of the world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa Hotel in Dubai. The Instagram picture was accompanied by a caption in which he claimed he was making the trip to get the ‘royal treatment’ and took 24 people with him to hang out in Dubai for a few days. Mayweather ended his career with a professional record of 49 victories, including 26 by knockout. Yet the 38-year-old has consistently distanced himself from those claims as he makes the most of retirement. |
Tougher times seem to lie ahead for Nigeria as crude oil price tumbled four per cent on Monday to $36-40 per barrel, coming close to an 11-year low, and potentially endangering the implementation of the 2016 budget, which is predicated on an oil price of $38 per barrel and output of 2.2 million barrels of crude per day. More frightening was that the Bloomberg data revealed that the world’s cheapest oil is already close to $20 in non-OPEC countries as against $35 in OPEC states. The sharp drop in crude oil prices followed growing fears that the global oil glut would worsen in the months to come in a pricing war between the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and non-OPEC producers. Latest data by Bloomberg yesterday noted that prices were sliding in non-OPEC member countries because OPEC member states in economic turmoil want higher prices without having to cut their own production, relying instead on Saudi Arabia to be a ‘swing’ producer. OPEC, rising from its meeting on December 4, in Vienna, Austria, had decided to maintain crude oil output despite pressure to cut production to ameliorate the effects of the plummeting prices on member countries’ revenues. OPEC has always insisted on maintaining crude oil production, saying it could only agree to cut production if non-OPEC members would be willing to do the same. Nigeria’s oil minister and OPEC president until last week, Emmanuel Kachikwu, had disclosed after the Vienna meeting that the group considered cutting production but decided that a reduction “even of five per cent” was not likely to push prices higher if non-OPEC producers, which make up about two-thirds of global production, do not join in cutting. The decision was contrary to expectations from Nigeria and other OPEC members that the organisation would reduce production output to boost crude oil prices which have been on the downward trend since June last year. Goldman Sachs, one of the most influential banks in commodity markets, also recently said that oil could fall to as low as $20 per barrel amid fears that the world is running out of storage capacity. In its statement on the global crude oil crash penultimate Friday, the International Energy Agency (IEA) corroborated both reports, saying that the global supply glut was likely to deepen next year and put more pressure on prices. According to the Bloomberg data, a blend of Mexican crude plunged 73 per cent in 18 months to $28 on December 11, its lowest level since 2004. There was also Iraq offering its heaviest variety of oil to buyers in Asia for about $25, while in western Canada, its crude has slumped 75 per cent to $21.37, the least in almost eight years. Apart from Western Canada Select, which is heavy and sulphurous, other varieties, including Ecuador’s Oriente, Saudi Arabia’s Arab Heavy and Iraq’s Basrah Heavy were selling below $30, the data showed. Venezuela is also not insulated as it is experiencing similar lows. “More than one-third of the global oil production is not economical at these prices,” Ehsan Ul-Haq, senior consultant at KBC Advanced Technologies Plc, said by e-mail. Oil has slumped to levels last seen in the global financial crisis in 2009 amid a global supply glut, but the data underlined that while the prices of benchmarks, West Texas Intermediate and Brent, hover in the $30s, they represent a category of crude — light and low in sulphur — that is more highly valued because it is easier to refine. But the data showed that some producers of thicker, blacker and more sulphurous varieties have suffered heavier losses and were already living in the $20s. Global benchmark Brent slid 5 cents to $37.87 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange at 11:38am Singapore time. WTI was unchanged at $36.31. Even at that, oil prices from OPEC, which supplies about 40 per cent of the world’s crude, are trading below the main two benchmarks. The daily price of 12 crudes produced by OPEC stood at $33.76 a barrel on Monday, the lowest in seven years. The prices of both benchmarks have fallen every day since OPEC, on December 4, abandoned its output ceiling. OPEC has been pumping near record levels since last year in an attempt to drive higher-cost producers such as United States shale firms out of the market. Bloomberg had also noted that, in the past six sessions, oil prices have shed more than 13 per cent each due to the glut that followed the cartel’s action. In addition to the current excess inventory in the global oil market, which is estimated at 1.5 million barrels per day, new supply is likely to hit the market early next year as Iran ramps up production once sanctions are lifted. The imminent lifting of sanctions against the country followed the July agreement on its disputed nuclear programme. Iran’s crude oil exports are set to hit a six-month high in December as buyers ramp up purchases in expectation that sanctions against the country will be lifted early next year, Reuters quoted an industry source as saying. On Friday Gulf, producers and Russia have said they would not cut output even if prices fell to $20 per barrel, also due to the low cost of production in those areas. But in Nigeria, the average cost of production by the International Oil Companies (IOCs) is about $30 per barrel, thus making it difficult for Nigeria to sustain production in a very low price regime of $30 and below. The drop in the global benchmark Brent crude to $39 per barrel yesterday is threatening the yet-to-be-presented N6 trillion Nigeria federal budget for 2016. The Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved the budgetary amount at its meeting on Monday, with a proposal for $38 per barrel as the oil benchmark price, down from $53 this year, 2015. The Excess Crude Account, into which the country saves the difference between the market price of oil and the budget benchmark to provide a cushion when oil prices fall or extra cash is needed for spending on infrastructure, has been depleted in recent times as oil revenues plunged. The account, which stood at about $4.11billion in October 2014, dropped to $2.45 billion in December that year, down from about $3.11 billion in November. The balance in the ECA was put at $2.1 billion in July this year. |
