PoliticsGov. Aliyu States Reasons For Not Movingto APC by engrflames(op): 1:00pm On Dec 06, 2013
By Wole Mosadomi

Minna- Niger state Governor Dr. Babangida Aliyu may have finally dumped the G7 just as he has given reasons why he did not defect along with the 5 from the G7 governors to APC saying, “our mission had been to reform the PDP and put it on the right track and not to defect to any other party.
He said his decision to remain in PDP to fight on should therefore not been seen as a betrayal of his other colleagues who have
already defected to All Progressive Congress (APC). According to him, “I only led the so called G7 as a result of a reform we were looking for in our party. The idea was not to leave our party (PDP); The idea was to reform it and fight to a logical conclusion before taken our final decision and since the fight is still on, there is no point of decamping.”

Governor Aliyu also explained that his continuous stay in PDP is not a personal decision but the decision of his people in the state and there is no way he would take such
gigantic step without consulting them. “The fight is not about me, it is not a one man show, it is not about my ambition. It is about my people. There is no way I will take any decision without coming back to my people to seek for their views. Majority of my people prefer that we stay in PDP and we will stay and make it work,” Governor Aliyu declared.

The governor who made his stand non while
receiving members of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) led by
the Country Vice President, Barrister Hauwa
Shekarau during courtesy visit at government house Minna yesterday said the decision of his
colleagues to joint the APC was their personal
decision while his decision to also remain in
PDP is also personal.
“ The decisions of my colleagues to join APC is highly respected and I respect their decisions and they should also respect my own decision too to remain in PDP.
“If along the line of the struggle, some people
find it more expedite to leave the party, that
is their decision and I respect that. Those of
us who felt we still need a reform and we felt
that we should remain, I think our views and actions should also be respected.”
The governor threw his weight behind the
idea of a two party system in the country
adding that it would put an end to political
prostitution in the country.
“For us in Niger state, we welcome the
development of two parties in this country
rather than having so many parties and end up creating more political prostitutes but if we have two parties, we would know how these
things can play and control it.”

PoliticsInspiring Quotes From Mandela by engrflames(op): 7:02am On Dec 06, 2013
Freedom fighter, statesman, moral compass
and South Africa’s symbol of the struggle against racial oppression.
That was Nelson Mandela, who emerged from prison after 27 years to lead his country out
of decades of apartheid.
Here are some of his inspiring quotes:
-“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion.
People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
-“There is no easy walk to freedom
anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires.
-“Our struggle for freedom and justice was
a collective effort…it is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.
-“Out of the experience of an extraordinary
human disaster that lasted too long, must be born a society of which all humanity will be proud.
-“We understand it still that there is no easy road to freedom. We know it well that none of us acting alone can acheive success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for national reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.
_“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity. To impose on them a wretched life of hunger and deprivation is to dehumanize them. But such has been the terrible fate of all black persons in our country under the system of apartheid.
-“People may say to spend 27 years in prison you have wasted your life. But the
greatest thing for a politician is whether the ideas to which you’ve committed your life are still alive, whether these ideas are likely to triumph in the end, and everything that happened showed that we have not sacrificed in vain.
-“I came to accept that I have no right
whatsoever to judge others in terms of my own customs, however much I may be proud of such customs.
-“Only armchair politicians are immune from committing mistakes. Errors are inherent in political action.
-“Until I was jailed I never fully appreciated the capacity of memory, the endless string of information the head can carry.”

PoliticsYes, Aregbesola Is A Danger To Democracy by engrflames(op): 6:47am On Dec 06, 2013
By Gbenga Olarinoye

Comrade Bankole Afilaka, the chairman, of
the caretaker committee of Labour Party in
Osun State spoke on the pace and pattern of
politics in Osun State.
Excerpts:
What are the plans of the Labour Party for
the 2014 Governorship election in Osun State?
I think at this point, the Labour Party is
working assiduously towards getting the best
candidate. We have had some people coming
to us and expressing their interest and some
have not come to us but have expressed their
interests on the newspapers.
For us, our assignment is on behalf of the Osun people to get the best candidate that
would be the actual alternative and real
change in Osun. Change in Osun is in many
dimensions, we want unencumbered
leadership, and we want the kind of leadership where the people can relate directly, we want the kind of leadership that
would be honest in delivery of public policy.
We condemn out rightly the idea in which
government of the day use to oil propaganda
machinery.
For instance, if you go around, you look at the
entire state and it’s almost branded with
Aregbesola’s face, we are still surprised that
the INEC have not called him to order and we
have written another petition and we are
hoping that INEC will look into it as a matter
of urgency. We want the best candidate for
Labour party on behalf of the people that will
deliver the dividends of democracy to the
masses of Osun state, not somebody that will
mortgage the state and mortgage it for the
generation to come and then use some kind
project to daze us through a propaganda-
drive that is unprecedented in the history of
politics in Nigeria. For us in Labour party,
what we want to do in 2014 is to unseat
Aregbesola and I can tell you as a matter of
fact, Aregbesola is gone already; it is just a
matter of time.
Does your party have what it takes to dislodge him?
I can tell you as a matter of fact that Labour
party is the only party that is going to remove
Aregbesola and he (Aregbesola) knows this.
Aregbesola thinks he is giving us development
but what he has given us is something to help
push his own image. As you can see, his face
is everywhere and I would not be too surprised if the face is found in your bedroom because that is what he is all about but we want government not propaganda, I think this is a fundamental difference between our party.
To what extent have you been able to resolve
the internal crisis that rocked your party?
That has been put to bed. The reality of the
matter is that the court struck out the
Aregbesola instigated court case.
We are receiving a large influx of people
across the state but more importantly, we
believe strongly that the government of Osun
State is a danger to democracy. Why do we
say that? He is beginning to give the state a
bad name by exporting large elements of our
state to go and cause electoral anarchy
during Anambra gubernatorial election. We
warned of this during Ondo state election that
he was sending thugs to Ondo state.
Now he has been caught in the act; we know
that those boys were working for a known
Aregbesola’s apologist in Osun State.
He was the one chairing a group of about 183
that was supposedly registered in Lagos with
guns and fake ballot papers (for the Anambra
election). This is a disgrace to our state and
its time we condemn it. Aregbesola is a
danger to democracy; the government needs
to put him on security watch with immediate
effect. Somebody that is exporting thugs
elsewhere to go and fight an election that doesn’t concern him, what do you think is
going to do when Osun comes to 2014?

PoliticsDon’t Remove Defecting Govs, APC Warns PDP by engrflames(op): 12:44pm On Dec 05, 2013
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has strongly warned the PDP not to to go ahead with its diabolical plan to declare vacant the seats of the five PDP Governors who recently defected to the APC, saying apart
from being illegal and smacking of double
standard, such a move has the potential to plunge the polity into chaos.
In a statement, Thursday, in Abuja by its
Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said that even as the PDP has continued to lick the mortal wound inflicted on it by the loss of five preeminent Governors in one fell swoop, any attempt by
the party (PDP) to act in desperation and
declare the Governors’ seats vacant will be met with an unprecedented show of people power that will end, once and for all, the impunity of the PDP and the Presidency.
”We have irrefutable evidence that the PDP is
desperately shopping for a pliant Judge who will be heavily induced to declare vacant the seats of the five Governors who recently
defected to the APC. We also
have the name of the lawyers who have been
retained by the PDP for
this hatchet job.
”We are in possession of the various nefarious
legal options being explored by the villainous duo of the PDP and
the Presidency but we hereby serve a strong
notice to the duo that any
attempt by anyone through any means other
than what is provided for in section 188 of the 1999 Constitution as
amended will not only have grave consequences but will leave the polity severely bruised.
”We know the PDP and the Presidency are
anarchic and nihilistic, and
will not mind to pursue any narrow and selfish
objective, even if
doing such can plunge the nation into crisis.
But their cup is
gradually getting full. Having got away with
their trademark impunity
in Delta and Anambra States, these lawless,
reckless and feckless duo
of maleficence now believe they can continue
to act without regards to
the laws of the land and with no scintilla of
decency.
”We wish to state unequivocally that should
the PDP go ahead with
this plan, there will be widespread
repercussions as the APC has
resolved that henceforth, every act of impunity
of the PDP and the
Presidency will be met with stiff resistance in
the form of a
vociferous telegraphing of people power, the
likes of which have not
been witnessed in these parts,” it said.
APC reminded the PDP and the Presidency
that a party that boasts of 16
Governors….still counting…and has control of
the National Assembly has what it takes to
use people power to stop
acts of impunity, disregard for the laws of the
land
and barbaric brigandage – and that is exactly
what the APC will do in
the event of any unlawful declaration of the
five
Governors’ seats vacant.
The party also warned against any attempt by
the PDP and the
Presidency to turn back the hands of the
clock as far as the
cleaning up of the judiciary is concerned, by
inducing a servile and
disreputable Judge to do the duo’s bidding.
”We recognize the efforts of the present CJN
to sanitize the
Judiciary since she assumed the mantle of
leadership but she
should not allow any black leg to reverse the
gains that have been
recorded on the altar of unmitigated avarice.
This is
because if that happens, Nigerians will hold
the Judiciary vicariously
liable for the catastrophic consequences that
may follow,” it said.
Accusing the PDP of engaging in double
standard, APC said ”For all of
14 years, elected members of the State
Houses of Assembly as well as
the National Assembly have been defecting
mostly to the PDP and no
court has ever declared their seats vacant.
”Late Senator Wahab Dosunmu and Senator
Adeseye Ogunlewe, then of the
Alliance for Democracy (AD), blazed the trail
when they decamped to
the PDP within a year of their election. Since
then scores of elected
lawmakers at state and federal levels have
defected to the PDP without
any eyebrows being raised or anyone
declaring their seats vacant.
”When Governors Ikedi Ohakim of Imo State
and Theodore Orji of Abia
state, both elected on the platform of the
PPA, and
Governor Isah Yuguda of Bauchi state, who
was elected on the platform
of the ANPP, defected to the PDP, nobody
declared their seats vacant.
”As a matter of fact, the PDP under late
President Umar Yar’Adua
organized an elaborate reception to welcome
Gov. Yuguda to the PDP.
Why then should the case of the five PDP
Governors (still counting)
who have joined the APC be different? Why is
the PDP suddenly afraid
of taking the same medicine it has been
administering to others? Does
it mean that all the bravado that has been
displayed by the PDP, which
says it is not bothered by the defection of the
five Governors, is
just a facade to hide its deep pain at the
monumental loss?” the
party queried.
It also asked the PDP and the Presidency, if
they can allow a rare
moment of introspection, to go and read – and
be guided by – the
ruling of the Supreme Court after the PDP
attempted to make then Vice
President Atiku Abubakar to lose his seat and
to also strip him of his
privileges following his defection to the ACN.

EducationASUU Promises To End Strike As FG Shifts Ground by engrflames(op): 12:33pm On Dec 05, 2013
By Ademola Adeyemo Adibe Emenyonu
and Seriki Adinoyi
The hope of a final resolution of the
prolonged impasse in the ongoing strike by
members of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU) was raised Wednesday by
the ASUU Chairman, University of Ibadan
branch, Dr Segun Ajiboye when he stated
that the strike would soon come to end
especially as the federal government has
begun to shift grounds.
He did not give details and the extent of
ground shifting the federal government had
done.
The federal government had earlier given the
resume-or-be-sacked ultimatum which
should have ended yesterday, but later
extended it to December 9.
Some universities have either resumed or
announced their resumption dates, even as
some others like University of Jos have vowed
to continue the strike.
Ajiboye dropped the hint in Ibadan yesterday
during the session of tributes organised to
honour the late Professor Festus Iyayi, who
was killed in a motor accident while on his
way to attend a meeting on how to resolve
the ASUU crisis.
Ajiboye noted that the ceremony organised
by by ASUU was not only to mourn Iyayi but
also to mobilise ASUU members towards
pursuing the struggle to its logical conclusion.
The academic community in the university
staged a candle light procession in honour of
the late former National President of ASUU.
The ASUU members, including the Vice-
Chancellor of the university, Professor Isaac
Adewole, and some other principal officers,
adorned in black gowns, commenced the
procession at the ASUU secretariat, Mellanby
Hall of the school and marched to the Faculty
of Arts enroute Kenneth Dike Road with
solidarity songs rendered in low mournful
tone.
In his speech, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof.
Isaac Adewole, said the dreams of Iyayi
should be made to come true.
Adewole commended the courage and the
resilience of Iyayi, describing him as a
gentleman who was committed to not only the
development of education in Nigeria but
towards good living of Nigerians.
In his tribute, a former National President of
ASUU, Professor Sola Olukunle, described
Iyayi as a man of peace whose peace
mission is also based on reasonable
principles, therefore it would be a great
disservice if the current struggle is subdued
and disallowed to reach its logical conclusion
as intended by the late leader.
Speaker after speaker including the Dean of
Faculty of Arts, Professor Remi Raji, Dr Femi
Aborisade, Prof. Francis Egbokhare and
Professor John Anetor described the death
Iyayi as unfortunate, and needless, noting
that if the government had honoured the
agreement it reached with ASUU, the death
would have been avoided.
In the same way, the academic and civil
society communities in Benin City organised a
procession march in Iyayi’s honour.
During the procession, members of UNIBEN
branch of ASUU were joined by hundreds of
their colleagues from University of Ilorin,
Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma (AAU), Delta
State University (DELSU), Abraka, etc.
Other groups also represent included Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC), Conference of Non-
Governmental Organisations (CONGOS), Joint
Action Front (JAF), the Parents Consultative
Association of Nigerian Universities (PCANU).
The march, which began at the Faculty of
Arts and. Social Sciences, University of Benin
at about 10a.m., took a long walk of about
five kilometres to the residence of the late
Professor of Business Administration, Bello
Street, off Benin/Lagos expressway.
Addressing the people at the residence of the
late former Chairman of ASUU, Chairman of
UNIBEN ASSU, Dr. Anthony Monye-Emina,
described Iyayi as one of Nigeria's number
one heroes that have fallen, and a hero of
ASUU struggles.
He said the march was the beginning of
activities to mark the exit of the late
Professor.
He recalled that the journey that claimed the
life of Iyayi, began on a pleasant note that
morning with Iyayi relieving the last meeting
with President Goodluck Jonathan and how he
urged them to show true commitment to the
struggle.
Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana, urged
ASUU never to relent in the struggle, but to
continue from where Iyayi left. .
He disclosed that ASUU and Iyayi family
members have mandated him to challenge
the "murder" of Iyayi in the court.
Also addressing the crowd of sympatisers,
Chairman of ASUU, University of Ilorin
chapter, Dr. Taiwo Oloruntoba-Oju, said the
late Iyayi had cloned many other Iyayis while
alive, to carry on the fight, adding that the
only way to ensure that what Iyayi fought for
was not allowed to die with him is to sustain
the struggle.
Other speakers eulogised Iyayi, whom they
called a hero, adding that his death has
actually immortalised him.
Eldest son of Iyayi, Ehidiamen, who received
the mourners on behalf of the family,
thanked them for the support they have
given to the family since the demise of their
father.
He was later presented with signed copy of
the condolence register opened by the union.
Speaking on its resolve to continue with the
strike, University of Jos chapter of ASUU said
yesterday that it will not resume lectures until
it receives directives from its national officials
to that effect, adding that it will not go back
to class even after the expiration of the
extended deadline given by the federal
government.
The chairman of the ASUU Unijos chapter, Dr
David Jangkam said majority of the 1012
union members at Unijos were not bothered
by federal government's sack threats.
Jangkam said, “University of Jos chapter,
wants to categorically state that we cannot
be cowed or perturbed by the threat from
the Minister of Education and other agents of
government; we remain resolute and
committed to the struggle and shall not waver
from the strike until government does the
right thing."
Similarly, the Lagos State University (LASU)
chapter of ASUU, resolved to continue with
the strike until government meets the union’s
demands.
The Chairman of LASU branch Adekunle
Idris, described the threat to sack lecturers
who refused to resume work by Wednesday
as an outdated approach to solving issues
and a joke.
“I’m sure they will get their professors and
doctors from Alaba or Idumota market.
Maybe they will employ some from India or
Cuba to teach the students,” he said
sarcastically.

Try and locate a dentist and get a brief
on what could be done before telling her about the need to see a dentist. Let her know that you have made enquiries and that you need to visit the dentist together
